Episode description

In this free English lesson I will help you learn the one word name for many things that have more than one word in their name, or a really long word.

It's a bit hard to explain, but you probably already know that we call eyeglasses glasses, but did you know we normally call a remote control a remote, or refer to windshield wipers as wipers? There are many things in English that have a long proper formal name, but we regularly use a much shorter name when talking about it.

In this English lesson you'll learn the shorter versions of: web browser, eyeglasses, blue jeans, padlock, pickup truck, shopping mall, photocopier, wristwatch, light bulb, gymnasium, refrigerator, and many more.

I hope you enjoy this English class about short names of regular things! Have a great day!
