Hi Everyone! Christmas is just a few days away and what better way to prepare than by learning how to describe desserts in English. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, the holiday season tends to be a time of indulgence; if you're not diving into calorie-filled desserts with your family members (even just on Zoom this year), what are you doing?!? In English the four tastes are sweet, salty, sour and bitter (some also mention umami). Today, we'll talk about other adjectives to describe your favorite desserts so that you can get more creative when talking about them.To gain access to the full episode, transcript, podcast player, quizzes and more, be sure to sign up to Season 2 (see below)Charlie's Info The British English Podcast Website The British English Podcast  Charlie's Youtube channel Premium Content (formerly called the Classroom) Season 2  - Premium Content for episodes 051 - 100 OR Get ALL PREMIUM CONTENT FOR SEASONS 1-3  (including transcripts + mp3s) Other Content Get the Free E-Book: 101 American English Slang Words My Guest Appearance on Charlie's Podcast: Parenting in the U.S. vs. U.K. Connect on InstagramGet updated when new episodes are posted via Instagram Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to Episode #088. Today we will be talking about a poem, a very famous poem. In fact it may be one of the most read and referenced poems in English. Don't quote me on that, but it's a poem that you'll hear on the radio in the U.S. as December 25th approaches, you'll see lines from it on Christmas cards, in advertisements and in many many movies. It's called A Visit from Santa Claus, but you may know it as The Night Before Christmas. If you don't celebrate Christmas, or you don't believe in Santa Clause, but you are interested in American Culture, listen to this episode.To gain access to the full episode, transcript, podcast player, quizzes and more, be sure to sign up to Season 2 (see below)Premium Content (formerly called the Classroom) Season 2  - Premium Content for episodes 051 - 100 OR Get ALL PREMIUM CONTENT FOR SEASONS 1-3  (including transcripts + mp3s) Other ContentGet the Free E-Book: 101 American English Slang WordsConnect on InstagramGet updated when new episodes are posted via Instagram Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
