#127 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation

▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
• church
• Turkey
• word
• work
• world
• worm

❓What do these words have in common?

❗️ They all contain the [ɜ:] vowel, as in “girl”. Be especially careful with “work”, it should sound different from “walk”.

#92 Afandi Quiz: Who said it?

▶️ “I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.”

👉@afandi_english👈 #quote_quiz

💡 It was Eminem, the world's most famous white rapper. "White trash" is a nasty expression for poor white people in America, and Eminem grew up in a poor white household of a black neighbourhood in Detroit. It couldn't have been Muhammad Ali because he was black.

#39 Movie Time: Black Mirror – Nosedive (2016)

▶️ Today’s movie is a dystopian (=of a bad future) tragicomedy (=a film that is funny and sad at the same time). It shows us what the future could be like if our lives are guided completely by social media. We also get to think what a social credit system could look like in the future.
