208. English for Disasters and Emergenci...

Thomas Wilkinson
About this episode

Today’s episode will introduce and explain vocabulary that may be essential in a disaster. I will teach you key phrases and words to describe disasters, raise awareness and gain support, and that may help you survive in a disaster situation. This episode is dedicated to the people affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey and the Middle East, and should hopefully be a useful resource to people wanting to communicate about natural disasters in English.
