#231 Don't Call Me 'Dear'

Michael Lavers
About this episode

Do you know how to use the word 'dear'? A lot of people get confused with this term, and honestly the answer isn't as simple as you may think, so let's look into that today.

I'll cover the ways in which we use this word and why you might not want to say it to strangers.

This is a re-share of a video I posted on the English with Michael YouTube channel, so thanks for your patience with me during this busy time!
