I’m hooked on English and I’ve told you that time after time. And to my students who don’t feel like doing anything, well, you’d better shape up. As you can see there’s loads of English to be learned when we listen to music and take a look at the lyrics. It’s never been easier to learn English and have fun as you get down to the beat. So let’s get down, to business. We’ll learn English from music on this week’s episode of FYI!

Join me as we discover skyscrapers on this week’s episode o...

These sloping structures are often used as a euphemism for life as they’re full of ups and downs, twists and turns and surprises around every bend. And these humongous modern marvels have come a long way since the day of ice tracks. Taller, faster, longer, more air time, meticulous theming and non-stop thrills are the name of the game. Pull down your lap bar, hold on tight and get ready to enjoy a radical ride. All clear! We’ll ram...

Rise and shine sleepyhead. Time is of the essence so don't you dare dream about sleeping in. As we say, you snooze you lose. A new day is upon us and we are going to seize it and milk it to the very last minute. I must admit, I feel like a million bucks and it's all because I hit the hay early and I was out like a light. I got some shut-eye or forty winks, call it what you will. I slept like a log last night, no tossing a...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
