Over 35 People Corrected My English… But...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I will help you learn about regional differences in the English language. What might seem like a mistake in one place, might actually be fine in another.

In particular I talk about the verbs to bring and to take, which to native English speakers in my area can be used interchangeably in different situations.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson. Have a great day!
