Episode 4: The Fox & the Grapes

In questo episodio, ci addentreremo nell'origine dell'espressione "Stai fresco!", la quale affonda le sue radici nella Divina Commedia di Dante. Questa espressione è intrinsecamente sarcastica e trasmette l'idea che qualcosa sia altamente improbabile o che non abbiamo alcuna intenzione di compiere un'azione specifica.

Vi auguro una piacevole ascolto!

Think you’ve mastered regular verbs? Think again! In this episode of British Pronunciation Tips, we uncover the hidden secret of -ed endings — why words like worked, played, and wanted sound so different.

You’ll learn how the pronunciation of -ed changes depending on the final sound of the verb — becoming /t/, /d/, or /ɪd/ for clarity and ease of speaking. We’ll break down the rules, explore plenty of examples, and test your ear to help you hear (and say) the difference naturally.

By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use each ending — and your past tense verbs will sound smoother, clearer, and more native-like.

妈! 我的校服呢? 

어제 저녁에 빨아서, 아직 안 마른 것 같은데.
昨晚才洗, 好像还没干呢。

어떡해요? 저 오늘 입어야 돼요!
这可怎么办? 我今天正好得穿。 

이렇게 하자. 드라이어로 말려줄게. 10분이면 다 마를 거야.
这样吧。用吹风机吹一吹, 十分钟就能干。
