| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to easy English expressions. |
| 0:14.0 | You and me every day, come on, let's master English. |
| 0:25.7 | Hello, everybody. |
| 0:30.7 | Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast. |
| 0:35.6 | Yeah, thank you so much for listening to this podcast. |
| 0:42.8 | Today's expression is a good one. It is to solidify something. |
| 1:09.6 | To solidify something. Oh boy. Sounds difficult. Solidify. It's easy. S-O-L-I-D., like my head. Solid, like a rock. Solidify. S-O-L-L-I-D-I-F-Y means to make something solid. |

| 2:21.1 | So people ask me, |
| 2:22.1 | Coach Shane, |
