Bonus episode #125 – The perfect crime

CULIPS ENGLISH PODCAST
About this episode

In this week’s bonus episode, Andrew tells a funny yet unfortunate tale about some bad luck that he and his wife both experienced with their favorite gadgets at almost the same time! You’ll hear about exactly what happened, the lessons they learned, and how they dealt with it all.

How this episode will improve your English:

  • Listening practice: Follow a real-life story filled with natural speech. Practice understanding a longer, detailed narrative about everyday challenges.
  • Vocabulary building: Learn useful tech and household vocabulary like “frequency,” “static,” “routine,” and “vicinity.” Master words you might encounter in conversations about gadgets and home life.
  • Idioms and expressions: Pick up natural expressions like “pump up,” “crime of opportunity,” and “a baddie.” Learn how English speakers talk about responsibility, accidents, and routines in casual language.
  • Speaking skills: Join discussions with other listeners on the Culips Discord server for additional speaking practice.
