Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary.

If you're serious about vocabulary, we'll show you how to learn it.

I'm Finn. And I'm Alice.

In today's show, we're going to look at a very interesting area of vocabulary, prefixes.

We'll look at what they are, what they mean, and how to use them.

There'll be a quiz. And we'll leave you with a top tip for learning vocabulary. But before all that, we're going to hear from Dave.

He's just got back from lunch, but he isn't happy.

Hmm. Now, a question to think about while you listen.

What was the problem with Dave's food? Hmm, what was the problem with Dave's food?

Hmm, what was the problem with Dave's food? Let's find out.

I just tried the new seafood restaurant and I wish I hadn't. It was intolerable. To start with, my seat was really

uncomfortable. I had no room to move and the menu was very misleading. The photos looked nothing like

the actual food. When my food came, it was uncooked. I told the waiter, but he disagreed. He said it was fine. He said he'd eat it himself.

And I looked in the kitchen. It was really unhygienic. There was food all over the floor.

It was a disgrace. So Dave's pretty unhappy. And what was wrong with his food?

Well, he said that it was uncooked.

It was cold and raw because it hadn't been cooked.

Not very nice.
