Ever feel like you're playing a game of charades when trying to rent a flat in an English-speaking country? Worry not, because in our latest Look and Listen English Lessons podcast, I, Sharon Fay, am decoding the language of leasing for you! Picture this: a young college student, new to the twists and turns of the rental market, on a call with a potential landlord. It's a scenario many face, but armed with the vocabulary and know-how from our episode, you'll be signing leases like a native speaker in no time.
Get ready to find out what a 'security deposit' really secures and why 'utilities' won't light up your life when they're not included in the rent. We don't just throw around terms like 'sublet' and 'lease expiration'—we give you the insider knowledge to use them effectively. From that initial ad to the handshake on move-in day, we guide you through the conversation minefields with ease. Tune in, take notes, and transform the way you approach flat hunting—because no one should feel lost in translation on the quest for the perfect place to call home.
