English has some words which sound similar when you say them, and can even have the same spelling, but have a different meaning. Today we are going to talk about homonyms in our English grammar lesson, what they are, and why they are problematic for new English  language learners. As usual, we provide lots of English listening  practice to help you spot them and avoid confusion when you communicate  with people using them.

Some of you may have noticed our first video podcast on Monday. The idea is to publish the same great English lesson you expect to listen to but also include video, and a better follow along transcription built into the video.  It’s a new process for us and there are a lot of technical changes to  getting the lesson published. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback, and  if you have ideas, or problems, then please send us an email to tell us  about your experience. If all goes well, we will publish video/audio  podcasts from now on.

English grammar doesn’t need to be boring! There are lots of interesting things to learn about homonyms. Listening to this podcast several times will help your store what you learn in your longer term language memory. We recommend you use spaced repetition as part of your listening process. So once you’ve finished listening to the podcast,  why not add a reminder with siri to play the podcast again in a few  days, then maybe a week’s time. The next time you listen, think about  what you didn’t remember, ask yourself why?

This lessons audio MP3 can be downloaded from our website,  and you can get the full PDF transcript for free on the website as  well. If you don’t fancy a lesson on grammar, we have lots of podcasts  to choose from here.
