STOP Saying "I Have 25 Years"! 🚫

Описание: Did you know that asking "How old are you?" can actually be rude in English? 🎂

In this episode of the podcast, Ben and Sarah celebrate everything about Birthdays! We cover the essential grammar you need to talk about dates (is it "in" July or "on" July?) and fix the number one mistake English learners make when saying their age.

Ben and Sarah also share hilarious personal stories, including Sarah's "Flying Cake" disaster where she tripped and dropped a chocolate cake in front of her whole family , and Ben's tragic story about receiving a scratchy, yellow-and-green "Banana Sweater" from his grandmother.

👇 What you’ll learn in this episode:

✨ The Grammar of Age: Why you must say "I am 25" and never "I have 25". ✨ Prepositions of Time: When to use "ON" (dates) vs "IN" (months). ✨ Party Vocabulary: Essential words like "candles," "wrapping paper," and "balloons". ✨ Politeness Rules: What to say when you receive a terrible gift (and why you have to lie!).

📝 Key Phrases from this video:

🔹 "It is the thought that counts" (The feeling is more important than the object). 🔹 "To blow out the candles" (The birthday tradition). 🔹 "To trip" (To hit your foot and lose balance).
