216 – The January Blues 🔵

RnR English is BACK! 👊 We start the year in true RnR style by talking about poos 💩, wild board games on NYE 🤪, how to avoid paying for postage and packaging ✉️, the World’s Strongest Man 💪 and lots more! So put on your headphones and keeeeeep on ROCKin’, baby! 👊

The RnR Vocabulary that you will learn in this episode:

She was having none of it
Getting off on the right foot
The January blues
If people are feeling a bit down in the dumps
If we get onto them
My brother is seemingly on a mission to add to my present list*
Pretty penny that cost me
Another one of your bugbears
Wrap up warm when you go outside
Stocking up on the vitamin D tablets at the moment
I’ll run it off
I was stranded
You’d get away with that
I considered hitchhiking
Maybe someone’s trod on your foot
I’ll sit this one out
I’ll let you get on with it
I’ve never changed a nappy
I’d suggest giving it a go
Everyone else is doing cartwheels at the moment

RnR Grammar

At the beginning of today’s podcast when speaking about reviews I said to Boom Boom “I wish we DID have a review”.

So we have 2 things going on here, the first is “wish + past” to talk about a PRESENT wish! And the second is the use of the emphatic do (which gets changed to ‘did’ for this example) to add emphasis to the phrase, so remember…. if you want to leave a review, you know what to do! 😉
