🦃 Want to talk about Thanksgiving like a native speaker?
In this episode of the Learn English Podcast, you’ll learn the most common Thanksgiving vocabulary used in American English. We explain real English phrases you will hear during the holiday, including how Americans talk about food, hosting a meal, inviting guests, and expressing gratitude.
You will learn useful Thanksgiving words such as host, guest, set the table, potluck, catered, seconds, stuffed, indulge, food coma, heartfelt, and many more. Each word is explained clearly in context so you can understand native speakers and use these phrases naturally in real conversations.
We also talk about how Americans actually celebrate Thanksgiving — what people eat, how they invite friends and family (“come by my place”), how they talk about traffic, and how they describe eating too much food. You’ll also learn the difference between thankful, grateful, and blessings, and hear examples of how these words are used in daily life.
