Speak English Now through mini-stories with teacher Georgiana

Today’s episode is about something many English learners do too often:

Today, we are continuing our Assertiveness Series, and we’ll focus on something very important: how to say "no" in English without feeling guilty.

The word "gaslighting" comes from a play called "Gas Light." written in 1938 by Patrick Hamilton.

In this play, a husband tries to make his wife think she is losing her mind. He does some tricky things, like secretly making the lights from gas lamps in their house dimmer, and then he tells her that she's just imagining these changes. This play later became a movie.

When we talk about houses together, we say town if it’s small and city if it’s bigger. But if those houses are organized in a somewhat chaotic way, you might hear about a slum or a shantytown.

If we focus on buildings in general, a group of them can form a residential complex. And if there are many homes in one place, we talk about a neighborhood or even a housing development.

Today, I want to teach you about collective nouns.

But first… what are collective nouns?

We’ve all seen it. A child moves to a new country and, within months, is speaking the local language. Meanwhile, adults struggle for years. It seems unfair, right?
