You can make a plan to learn a few phrasal verbs every day. You can be  your own teacher.

The best way to learn and remember new phrasal verbs is to first study them and then use them in your daaly English.

The people who talk out loud are the people who learn English well.

 

 

The accent of English people and Canadian people can be a bit challenging and confusing.

UK and Canadian people use different vocabulary sometimes:

elevator – lift

trunk (of a car) – boot of a car

dessert- pudding
