About this episode

Have you learned to exaggerate in English? English speakers (and no doubt speakers of other languages) like to exaggerate. We like to make things sound better, bigger, or worse than they actually are.  In this English lesson I'll help you learn 10 common English phrases that exaggerate the truth just a little bit!

By the end of this lesson you'll be able to say phrases like a native English speaker! Nothing makes your English sound more natural than using a few very common phrases like the ones in this lesson.

In this free English class you'll learn phrases like: I'm melting, I'm freezing my butt off, I'm starving, I'm dying of thirst, and many more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about exaggerations! Have a great day!
