  TRY LINGODA TODAY - https://try.lingoda.com/ThinkingJuly $25 Lingoda Discount when you use the code THINKINGJULY - https://try.lingoda.com/ThinkingJuly What is the world's oldest country? This question is not as easy to answer as you might think. We need to discuss what a country actually is, the differences between empires, civilisations, and countries, and then find a place that fits this definition. In this episode I want to introduce you all to a country that I think could be considered the oldest in the world. You might disagree with me, but I think it is an interesting story in any case! Along the way, we will learn some useful vocabulary.

• What Happens When You Stop Studying English? - Subordinating Conjunction (English Grammar Lesson)

  GRAMMAR STUDY PACK - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish/shop⁠ Peter's Grammar Workshop (⁠⁠Use code FIRST-GRAMMAR for a free class⁠) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peter-english.com/grammar-workshop⁠⁠⁠ What happens when you stop studying English? I’m sure many of you have thought about this before.  Will your English get worse? Will you still be able to have conversations? And what can you do to prevent this from happening? Today I want to look in more depth at language attrition (the opposite of language learning), and at the same time demonstrate some incredibly useful English conjunctions.  This episode will focus on subordinating conjunctions (I also have two other episodes on coordinating conjunctions and paired conjunctions). Subordinating conjunctions allow us to connect sentence clauses together. Let’s practice using these conjunctions and discuss English learning in today’s episode of Thinking in English Grammar!

It was officially launched back in 2005, and over the past two decades it has completely transformed the way we use the internet. Today, over 2.5 billion people use YouTube every single month. Every minute, over 500 hours of video are uploaded. From funny cat videos to political debates, from educational content to viral dance trends… YouTube has become one of the most powerful platforms in the world. But what was the internet like before YouTube? How did it grow so fast? What impact has it had on culture, education, and even the way we learn English? And what might happen next? In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’ll explore the history and influence of YouTube over the past 20 years. I’ll talk about life before YouTube, the story behind its creation, how it’s changed the world, and its potential future. And of course, I’ll share some tips and advice for English learners, because YouTube can be one of the best tools to help you improve your language skills… if you know how to use it properly!

• 340. Winston Churchill: Hero or Villain? (English Vocabulary Lesson)

  Download ELSA for free + get 7 days premium membership for free: ⁠https://bit.ly/ELSAxTHINKINGINENGLISH⁠ Get exclusive ELSA discounts: ⁠https://elsaspeak.com/inf/promo-code-thinking-in-english/?promocode=THINK85 Have you ever heard the phrase, “History is written by the victors?” It suggests that the people who win wars and lead countries often control how we remember the past. And perhaps no historical figure better represents this idea than Winston Churchill. To many people, especially in the UK and the West, Churchill is a national hero. He is the man who led Britain through its darkest hour in World War Two. His speeches are iconic, his image is legendary, and his name is often linked to courage, resilience, and freedom. But not everyone sees him this way. To others, Churchill was a symbol of empire, colonialism, and racism. A man whose decisions caused suffering for millions. He is a hero to some, a villain to others. In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’re going to ask a difficult question: Was Winston Churchill a hero… or a villain? We’ll look at his achievements, examine the darker parts of his legacy, and explore why his reputation remains so controversial today. And as always, I’ll encourage you to think critically and form your own opinion, while learning some new vocabulary!

• Censorship, Misinformation, and the Future of Free Speech: Paired Conjunctions (English Grammar Lesson)

According to some people, this right is currently at risk. People are starting to believe that free speech is in danger.  Today I want to look in more depth at this topic. What is the biggest threat to free speech at the moment? Is it censorship? Or is it misinformation? In order to talk about free speech, and many other topics, we need to understand and know how to use paired conjunctions. Paired conjunctions are very useful. They allow us to connect words, phrases, or ideas together, and are always used in pairs. Let’s practice using paired conjunctions and discuss free speech in today’s episode of Thinking in English Grammar!
