About this episode

If you want to improve your English conversation, this lesson is perfect for you. There is a lot of shadowing and explanation of the 18 most confusing words. I have been an English teacher in the United States for the past 20 years, and this lesson is designed to help you become a better English speaker.  It is going to be a long one, so long, I thought it would be best to divide it into two parts. In part 1, I explain the words: opportunity, probability, probably, properly, sympathy, empathy, and apathy.
