BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to talk about your spare time in English and in particular the things you choose to do. All of us are busy, but every once in a while we have some spare time. For me this usually happens in January and February, and there are many thing Jen and I do during that time.

In this English lesson you'll learn words and phrases like: to reinvent yourself, to take up a hobby, to join a club, to volunteer, to make plans, to rest, to host, to try something new, to renovate, to rearrange, and many more.

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRiteFSErNc or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Spare Time Activities"
