BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Learning English through stories can be really fun! In this English lesson I'm going to tell two stories about my life when I was younger. One of the stories will be a lie, and the other one will be true. Take your time and use this video for English listening practice. Listen to each story a couple of times and then try and figure out which one is true.

Once you've figured this out, watch the rest of the lesson and I'll reveal which story actually happened.

Learning English through stories is a great way to learn English! Trying to figure out which story is true is also good practice because it forces you to really understand what you have heard.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmH2fypGh2g find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian English Through Stories"
