Do you find phrasal verbs a pain to learn? This week, we've got something special for you. We're chatting with English teacher Sam Risebrow, and he has a hilarious and unique way of looking at phrasal verbs: through the world of Peppa Pig!
Sam explains that you don't need to get bogged down by complicated grammar rules. Instead, you can learn phrasal verbs more naturally by understanding where they come from—their historical Anglo-Saxon roots. He’ll also dive into how the Norman Conquest of 1066 changed English, creating a split between fancy, formal words and the everyday words we still use today—like phrasal verbs.
Sam’s approach is all about learning in context, not from a textbook. He suggests fun and simple materials like children’s books and pop songs. Tune in to discover a new way to master those tricky phrasal verbs!
