About this episode

Halloween is one of the most popular holidays here in the United States, and in this lesson, I explain some of the most common English words and terms we use for Halloween. I explain how pumpkins are turned into jack-o'-lanterns and how some Americans will roast the pumpkin seeds after. I also explain how kids and adults "dress up" in their costumes as witches, werewolves, and mummies.   I explain the phrasal verb, dress up.  The expression "once in a blue moon."  Candy apples Candy corn Trick or treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat.  The American English saying, "An apple a day will keep the doctor away."  And how at a cemetary, you might see a headstone or tombstone and why R.I.P. or "rest in peace" is often written at the top.
