🔁 Episode 75 - Learning english with the song "Jenny" by Flight of the Conchords

Now, before I talk about the song...

To start off with, I'm going to give you some expressions for you to kind of test yourself on.

You can think of it as a little test.

Be patient with me and afterwards you'll understand why.

So here are the expressions.

To mind your own business.

To come up to somebody.

To go up to somebody.

To turn out.

To find out.

To look good.

Fair enough.

To mistake something for something, or to mistake someone for someone.

To throw a party, to grab, to have someone's eyes, to have a way with words, to look like someone.

Now, I'm pretty sure that you know some of these, but other ones have just kind of slipped away from your mind already.

And that's because this is a terrible way to learn language.

Our brains hate lists.

We need context.

I'm going to give you the same list with a little bit more context.

See if you can see the difference.
