I've got a question for you and I'd like to use this question as a springboard for a discussion on our discord server

0:07.6

So think about your answer and then post your answer on our discord and we'll a discussion about this. But I'm curious, what's your favorite English word or phrase? You've been learning English for a while now, right? So you must have come across some words or some expressions or some

0:25.2

phrases that are your favorite. Maybe they're your favorite because they have a

0:30.6

special meaning or a cool meaning or it's something that you can't directly

0:34.8

translate in your native language. There are always words like that, right? When

0:39.8

you're learning a foreign language you come across some expressions or some words that are just

unique to that language, and I'm sure you've come across a couple of those during your time studying

1:45.0

1:59.0

2:05.2

Earth and the Sun or a lunar eclipse and that's when the Earth travels in between

2:10.6

the moon and the Sun and it blocks out some of the light and we can't see it in the sky.

2:16.3
