About this episode

This past week two words came up in a conversation: an eyesore, and lacklustre. I thought it would be fun to think of a few more English vocabulary words on the same theme and create a lesson out of them.

Welcome to this English lesson about describing things and places. In particular, we'll be learning how to describe old, ugly, aging things and places.

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: an eyesore, lacklustre, seen better days, ratty, worn out, decrepit, ramshackle, dated, a rustbucket, a gut job, neglected, in shambles, and many more.

I hope you enjoy this English class about describing things and places!
