About this audiobook

You already know some English. What you are missing is someone who explains the rest properly. Minea Kapidzic teaches English as a foreign language, and this course is the way she actually teaches: one clear explanation at a time, in plain English, with the reasoning behind every rule. No drills, no repeat-after-me. You listen the way you would listen to a good conversation. Across eight episodes she works through the grammar that decides whether people understand you – the three families of English tenses, why "I live in Germany" and "I'm living in Germany" mean different things, the four ways English talks about the future, and all four conditional forms. Each rule arrives with examples you would actually say out loud. Between the grammar, the course opens up: where the word Christmas comes from and how the holiday is celebrated from Japan to Brazil, where New Year's resolutions began and why the wording of yours decides whether you keep it, how to organise study time when nobody is watching, and ten films worth watching with English subtitles. These episodes were recorded between 2020 and 2021 and are published here in their original form – including the moments where Minea speaks about the world as it was at the time. Three hours in sixty short tracks, made for the car, the train, or the walk to work. English explained by someone who learned it as a foreign language too – and who remembers exactly where it gets difficult.
