Episode description
It's just a couple days away from Christmas, which is a major holiday in the United States. So in today's lesson I'm going to teach you about the difference between the words holiday and vacation.
English learners often ask me about this, and it's a little tricky!
Now put it into practice!
What’s your favorite holiday? Describe it in English.
What did you do on your last vacation? Write about it in English.
One common expression you’ll often hear in December is “Happy Holidays!” - wishing someone a nice season of celebration, regardless of whether they celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another special time.
So, happy holidays to you! Make sure to follow Espresso English on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter so that you don't miss any lessons in the new year.
