Sorry. Not Dismay.

This is my first episode for the reason why I really started podcasting. It's an English as a Second Language podcast I'm doing for work. Let me know what you think.

This episode is part one of our discussion about a common problem for learners of English. The problem is the use of articles.

Articles are a type of determiners, and they must preceed a nound or noun phrase. The most common errors made by learners of English include omitting an article or using a redundant article.

This episode focuses on the definite article the.

First, the host Sean McMinn explains a couple of rules about the definite article. Then you will hear a phone conversation between Sean and his friend. The conversation is repeated with the speed reduced for those who may find it difficult to understand two native English speakers having a conversation. The show ends with the song “The Shack Song” by Justin Gordon.

Total time: 19:34 minutes
