In this episode:

  • We continue with the flaws in English. We're going to learn four more words.
  • In part two, you'll practice grammar with a point of view lesson.

Last week I talked about flaws. Unlike virtues, flaws are undesirable characteristics of someone's personality.

Here are some flaws:

  • Stinginess: when you don't ever want to spend money.
  • Indifference: When you have no interest or empathy for something or someone.
  • Intransigence: When you are rigid in your positions and never make concessions.
  • Gossip: When you are indiscreet in talking about others.
