Let's Learn English! Topic: Common Sound...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

The world around us is alive with sound. In this English lesson I'll talk about common sounds that we hear every day. Maybe you hear a honk, a bark, or a whir. Not only will I talk about the name of the sound, but I'll also teach you the most common phrases we use when talking about what we hear.

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: a knock at the door, a toilet being flushed, a door being slammed, a doorbell ringing, the whir of a fan, a smoke alarm going off, a car honking, a bird chirping, footsteps on the floor, a chair creaking, and many more.

I hope you enjoy this free English class about common sounds. Have a great day!
