Many of us have to deal with traffic on a daily basis. Here's how to talk about it in English, include expressions such as "traffic jam," "bumper-to-bumper," and "bottleneck."

When we talk about traffic, it's not only about cars and trucks. We can talk about people on bicycles or on foot, too. They have some special rules to follow, especially in the city.

There's more than one way to talk about the weather. In part 1 of this lesson, we talk about it in the present. We use nouns, verbs, and adjectives to describe the weather.

This time, let's talk about the weather in the past using nouns, verbs, and adjectives. If we use the past tense, we can talk about yesterday, last week, last month, or even last year.

In this lesson, we'll talk about the weather in the future. One way to express the future is with "going to": "It's going to rain." The second way is with "will": "It will rain." You will hear both in this video, so keep your eyes and ears open!

The senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell are essential in experiencing the world around us. Let's consider them one by one and learn how to use them in conversation. We start with "sight" and "hearing."

This segment is about the sense of smell and the sense of taste. When it comes to the five senses, every language seems to have some quirks, and English is no exception. For example, we use the same verb — "to smell" — to talk about perceiving an odor ("I smell the lemon") and giving off an odor ("The lemon smells delicious").

What is the passive voice all about? Sigrid takes us through the basics, step by step. In the active voice, we focus on "who" does something and in the passive voice we focus on "what" someone does.
