BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

Collocations are two words that are very often seen together. In this English lesson I'll help you learn some very common English collocations that we use when talking about towns and cities. Let's go on a tour of my town and I'll help you learn as we go from place to place!

In this English lesson you'll learn words like: close-knit community, community centre, public library, residential area, commercial area, industrial area, busy street, quiet street, small town, big city, and more!

I hope you enjoy this free English class about town and city collocations, and I hope you enjoy the views along the way!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLnH1HHzaho or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Collocations"
