Transcript:

Hi everyone!

I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In today’s episode:

I’m gonna talk about the word bear.
Next, through a mini-history lesson, you’ll practice vocabulary, and above all, you’ll improve your spoken English.

Very well. Let’s get started!

The word bear is often used as a noun when we’re referring to a large furry animal that likes eating honey. By the way, in the second part of this podcast, you’ll meet two funny bears Yogi, and Boo-Boo.

To bear is a verb with several meanings:

A few of its meanings are to hold, to support, to exhibit, to stand, or to give birth to.

For example, if I say that “I can’t bear” something, I mean that I can’t tolerate it or stand it. It’s just too much, or it makes me very unhappy.

Here are some more examples of the word bear:

Usually, we use the verb to bear when we’re in a position where we need to accept, tolerate, or endure something, especially something unpleasant:

“The pain was almost more than Jason could bear.”
“How can you bear to eat that food?”

(END OF THE EXTRACT).

“With Georgiana’s method  I have started speaking English from minute one and this is exactly what I needed. With the traditional method you will practice grammar, grammar and grammar, but with Georgiana’s method you will practice listening and speaking and in my opinion this is the most important thing when you are learning a new language.
