About this episode

In this English lesson we'll learn about people's flaws. In a previous English class I talked about virtues. Flaws are sort of the opposite. They are the negative characteristics of people. The types of things that other people find annoying or aggravating.

In this English lesson you'll learn vocabulary like: laziness, short temper, overconfidence, gossiping, perfectionism, cowardice, envy, jealousy, procrastination, neglectfulness, pessimism, greed, and many more!

I hope you enjoy this free English class about describing people's flaws. Have a great day!
