About this episode
What should I do this weekend? Go see the cherry blossoms, or watch a movie? Or maybe I should go to the museum and look at their collection of modern art. There’s so much to see, watch and look at these days, isn’t there?

Today, let’s take a deep dive into how you can exactly use see, watch and look in your everyday English conversations.
