How To Describe Someone Who Is Good At S...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Welcome to this first English lesson in a series where I'll talk about how to describe people in different ways.  In this first English class I'll help you learn how to talk about someone who is good at something. There are 8 phrases that came to mind as I was designing this lesson. All of these are used to describe someone who is good at something, and all of them are very common in everyday English.

In this English lesson you'll learn phrases like: to be good at, to have a way with, to be good with, to be talented, to be skilled, to be a people person and more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about how to describe people who are good at things! Have a great day!
