#228 English Vocabulary for Getting Sick

Michael Lavers
About this episode

This week I’m beginning to come down with a cold. I can feel my throat getting hoarse and it hurts to swallow, and I probably don’t have much time before I’ll be unable to record a podcast episode, so let’s get this done quickly!

Getting sick is something we all have to deal with at some point, so although it’s not the cheeriest of topics, it’s an important one to cover since there are so many great expressions we can use to talk about this. I’ll be covering a lot of those today as well as tips on how to treat a cold.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Avoiding getting sick
  • Symptoms of illness
  • Treating an illness
  • And my anger at the person who made me sick!
