Sometimes English vocabulary can be very confusing! Often words, phrases, and terms can have identical pronunciations or be written similarly, but have drastically different meaning.

So I made this post to make things a little clear!

Roll vs Role?? Do you know the difference?

  1. Hi Tom,
    I stumbled upon your podcast yesterday and YES! At long last I have found one about learning English that has what I have been looking for.
    Believe me when I say I have tried listening to quite a lot and TBH I am solely interested in the British ones cos I am an anglophile, and I am all for the British accent.
    Your contents esp the vocab and the length of @episode are just what I like. BTW I run an Eng workshop in Hong Kong and I am keen to keep myself abreast of what the everchanging scene of Eng learning is, so I read as much as I can on a daily basis to expand my lexicon, and I am so thrilled that I now have found you to help me grow 🙂 Thanks and keep up the good work (yaye)
    p.s. If you don’t mind I have many topics that I am interested in and for your expertise to cover them in your ” Thinking in English” would be great.
