Let's Learn English! Topic: The Future! ...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Welcome to this free English class about science fiction! In this English lesson I'll be talking about the words and phrases you'll see and hear when you read or watch science fiction. Science fiction refers to any story about the future. As an English learner you'll want to know these words and phrases so you can enjoy the exciting stories that people have created!

I don't know about you, but I've always liked science fiction, so I'm looking forward teaching this English lesson.  If you want to try something fun, buy a science fiction book in English and in your own language, and read alternating chapters in each language!

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: android, galaxy, faster than light, terraforming, the universe, spaceship, blaster, ray gun, base, space station, and more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about science fiction!
