072 - 5-Minute English: Cleaning

Shana Thompson
About this episode

Hi Everyone! In today's episode, I talk about CLEANING, which is an activity that most of us dread. The thing is, the topic often pops up in conversation so the vocabulary, phrasal verbs, collocations and expressions in this episode are very useful!

Like most 5-Minute Episodes, the listening is short and more challenging. You might need to listen to an episode at least three times in order to fully comprehend it. There are 40+ vocabulary words and phrases in this lesson.

Mentioned in this episode:  

This episode is part of Season 2.  By purchasing Season 2, you'll be able to access the full transcript for this episode as well as the entire 5-Minute English course at a discount.

Season 2  contains bonus material for episodes 051 - 100. Learn more.
