Learn English Through Story: One Truth, ...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

As you learn English you'll realize that sometimes people tell the truth, and sometimes people lie. I'm sure this comes as no surprise as this happens in your own language as well!

In this English lesson I'm going to play a little game with you. I'm going to tell you two stories. One of the stories will be true, and one of the stories will be a lie. You'll need to decide which is which!

Learning English through story is great English listening practice and I hope you enjoy my two stories.

Don't worry, I'll tell you which story is true in a follow-up video tomorrow!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson where you'll learn English through story!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSYbb0KpGfI or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian One Truth One Lie"
