About this episode

Have you learned the English vocabulary for common building materials? Do you know how to talk about your house or apartment when it needs repairs? In this English lesson I'll help you learn words and phrases that you can use when talking about building materials.

We all live somewhere, either in a house or an apartment. That place was built using various building materials. Sometimes you need to be able to talk about a pipe that needs replacing, or a floor joist that is squeaky. In this English lesson I'll help you learn the vocabulary to do just that!

In this free English class you'll learn words and phrases like: masonry, brick, block, mortar, concrete, vapour barrier, insulation, joist, truss, rebar, conduit, plywood, and many more!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about building materials!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YTSjOqz07k or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Building Materials"
