E13 Superstition Gone Wild - Fun English learning: Discussing unusual beliefs and traditions
Manage episode 437059435 series 3577242
Do you believe in the supernatural? Are there unseen forces at work, which manipulate our lives and control our destinies? If something bad is fated to happen, can you intervene by paying close attention to omens and natural signs? I personally don’t believe in superstitions…but I somehow find myself carrying them out all the time anyway.
In honour of our unlucky-for-some episode number 13, this week I’m talking to one of my very best friends and favourite Wiccans, Charlie, about his opinions on good and bad luck omens. You may well listen to this episode with an open, curious mind before concluding that I’m totally insane - I won’t blame you, but I’m not sure I can change!
This episode, again, has lots of tricky vocabulary and advanced phrases/idioms, so have a look at the downloadable transcript for integrated explanations of some of that challenging language - it’s available at: www.morethanalanguage.com
