Alan Palmer's Language Chat Podcasts

Hello everybody, Today I wanted to talk about practicing phrases to make it easier to remember how to say things and the right words to use I want to go shopping because my sister is coming and we enjoy going to the shops together. It is surprising just what language you can practice with only one sentence: Because my sister is coming, I want to go shopping and we enjoy going to the shops together We enjoy going to the shops my sister and I and my sister is coming, so I want to go shopping That is three sentences saying the same thing, more or less - but if you practice the sentence in different ways - then you can become more fluent. You can then expand it a bit more: My sister is coming to see me. We always like to go shopping together because we like going to the shops together. It is always nice when my sister comes, because we like going to the shops together to do some shopping. I want to go shopping anyway - so I will wait until she comes This way, you can build up the language practice. J
