Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speak Englishpodcast.com, and subscribe to my free mini-course. Okay, let's start. Today I'm going to do something different.

I'm going to comment on my students' favorite words in English.

It will be interesting.

Later, you will improve your fluency with a funny mini-story,

so don't miss out because it's worth it.

I want to start by thanking you for your support.

I also like your messages,

where you describe your experience with the podcast and my premium courses.

Well, some time ago in the Speak English Now student group,

I asked the following question.

What's your favorite word in English?

I was expecting a few comments, but in the end, there were more than a hundred.

So my idea for today is to comment on some of those words.

I think it will be fun. Okay, so here's the first one.

Iwa Philippa says her favorite word in English is mesmerized. I'd like to mention that the word

mesmerized is considered by many one of the most beautiful words in English.

It means to get someone's attention completely, so they can't think about anything else.

Let's continue.
