| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. How are you doing? I hope you're enjoying this holiday diary series. |
| 0:04.4 | Here's the next part and I just wanted to say something about learning new |
| 0:08.2 | vocabulary with this podcast right here at the beginning of this episode. Sometimes on the |
| 0:13.6 | podcast I teach bits of language and sometimes I just talk to you. In this one I |
| 0:18.9 | ended up talking in quite a lot of depth about Scientology and you'll hear lots of expressions relating to things |
| 0:25.2 | like psychology, psychiatry, belief systems, crime and law, but I'm not actually explaining or teaching that vocabulary directly. |
| 0:35.0 | I'm just focusing on talking about the topic as clearly as I can, telling a couple of stories, and so on. |
| 0:41.0 | Just listening closely to what I'm saying and following the whole |
| 0:44.6 | thing can help you pick up new language and I always encourage you to try and |
| 0:49.4 | notice words and phrases as we go along but often you might not be able to notice certain words, |
| 0:56.0 | especially when they fly past fairly quickly and only get mentioned once. |
| 1:01.0 | And as a result you don't really know what you're missing so it can help you a lot if you also see some of the words and read some examples and definitions |
| 1:10.0 | so what I've done is I've picked out a lot of those useful words and phrases from this |
| 1:16.4 | episode and I've put them in a list on the page for this episode on the website. So if you want to use this episode to build your |
| 1:24.8 | vocabulary you can either just by listening but in a more focused way you could |
| 1:30.9 | just check out the list on this page. This is episode 478 and you can find it in the |
| 1:38.7 | episode archive on my website teacher Luke.co.uk.uk.uk. That's TEA.C teacher Luke.co. UK, that's Te a chir, teacher, Luke, L-U-K-E dot co-o. |
| 1:51.2 | Go there, go to the episode archive, episode 478 and you can read the vocab list. |
| 1:58.8 | In fact, often the page for the episode contains notes or transcriptions or lists of vocabulary. |
| 2:06.2 | So if you feel like you're missing some of the words sometimes, why not check out the page? |
| 2:10.7 | You can find a lot of the words printed there for you okay so you |
