The English We Speak

Learn English with horses. In fact, learn it 'straight from the horse's mouth' in this programme.

Legends are stories about people who lived long ago, right? Well, there's more to it than that.

Annoyed? Frustrated? Angry? Maybe it's doing your head in!

Finn wants to share some special food with Li. But they receive some uninvited guests who also want to eat their delicious picnic snacks.

How many eggs should you put in one basket? And what has that got to do with taking risks?

It's laughable. How to say that you think something will never happen.

Can someone change their personality? A leopard can't change its spots.

Seeing red: what is making Jen and Feifei so angry on their day trip?

Zzzz... Neil had a crying child in his room and Feifei had a mosquito in hers. That's why neither of them has slept a wink.

Are you obsessed by a hobby or sport? Feifei is but Jen's not impressed!

Were you born yesterday? Probably not, but this is a useful expression if someone's trying to fool you.

Do you have a six-pack or a one-pack? Maybe it's time to do more exercise! Find out why in The English We Speak.
