TEACHER TIFFANI
About this episode

In this episode, we dive into five contemporary English vocabulary words that can replace basic expressions and help you sound more natural in everyday conversations. Join me as I explain the meaning, usage, and real-life applications of "ghosted," "chill," "packed," "legit," and "bail" - words that native speakers use regularly but aren't typically taught in traditional English classes.

You'll learn:

  • What it means when someone has "ghosted" you in the dating world or professional settings
  • How to use "chill" to describe relaxed people or suggest laid-back activities
  • The versatile ways to use "packed" beyond its literal meaning
  • Why "legit" is your go-to word for vouching for authenticity
  • When and how to use "bail" when plans change unexpectedly

Plus, I'll share a personal story about my mom's 70th birthday celebration that was absolutely packed! Upgrade your English vocabulary with these practical, contemporary expressions that will help you communicate more naturally with native speakers.
