About this episode

Many English learners find it hard to know when to use miss and when to use lose. Do you say you missed a chance or lost it? Can you lose time or do you miss time? In this episode, you’ll learn how to use both verbs correctly in everyday English.

We look at real situations from daily life, work, and the news. You’ll hear how native speakers use these phrases and how to avoid the mistakes that make your English sound less natural.

This episode is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to speak more clearly, build confidence, and improve the way they use everyday vocabulary in conversation.
