Hi and welcome to the 2nd episode of Learn English with Amy. In this episode, I speak with a very funny guy with a very interesting name: Daragh.
[Available on YouTube with subtitles - first 10 minutes only: https://youtu.be/xlYjYMWLX38]
“Never look a gift horse in the mouth" is one of his favorite sayings, and he explains its meaning and origin. In addition, Daragh reminisces about his backpacker days and learning new phrases in different languages; explains how video calling in 2020 has improved his relationships with family, friends and clients; and, hysterically, tells me how he's no longer allowed to use certain phrases in English.
I've also included a mini bonus episode with Daragh's *top tip* on how you can improve your English.
