Winning English - helping your English shine through the use of idioms, slang, and cultural references!
Thank you for being part of Winning English! I've decided that it's time to put this podcast, newsletter, and video on hiatus for now, so today I'll be winding down. To mark this occasion, I had some phrases and words for "ends", as well as some bonus material I've been saving.
Take care of yourself and talk soon!

Aphorisms go by many names, but they all are short statements intended to tell a truth about the world or teach a moral lesson. I gave you one batch in a previous episode, and here's another batch!

Work can be hard sometimes, and we all need a vacation. I'm taking a vacation soon, so I was inspired to focus on words and phrases for times when we are feeling stressed and need a break.

Every culture has a shared, common wisdom, and this wisdom is often transmitted through the generations using short statements that communicate that wisdom or truth and those moral values. These short statements go by many names - aphorisms, proverbs, adages, and so on. Any native English speaker will know most of these, and now you will start learning them, as well!

I really enjoy science fiction - that is, made-up stories that involve science and technology. So, I thought I'd put together an episode focused on that genre. Enjoy!

Many of you seemed to enjoy my previous episode on euphemisms, so I have another batch for you! Euphemisms are nice ways or neutral ways to talk about bad or uncomfortable things.

In recent episodes, I've focused on the history of the English language. Now I turn to modern English by exploring some slang words - some that have stood the test of time and others that are new!

In several recent episodes I've been discussing the major influences on the English language. I've previously covered William Shakespeare, the Bible, and French. In this episode, I'll cover the influence of Greek and Latin.
