*********************

Welcome to the second episode of Watch Your Language! where we focus on our diction and broaden our vocabulary.

This week, the show opens with a question I asked myself, and how quickly it was answered in the form of a carry-out order. You’ll also hear an example of a vocabulary word expressed in song by Zap Mama, and learn a little about plants!

As always, each episode will feature a diction lesson with a list of words to practice (see below). The final practice word will be your vocabulary word. I’ll give you the meaning, the origin and use it in a sentence. The podcast is way more exciting to listen to than read about, soooooo…. You know what to do! Enjoy!
