The most powerful word in English

(AN ADVANCED READING AND LISTENING LESSON)

This week is related to linguistics. We’re learning about the post powerful word in English. Any guesses about what it is?

There are two texts for this week’s lesson:

An article from BBC Culture: Is this the most powerful word in the English language?

A podcast episode from BBC’s Word of Mouth podcast: The Most Powerful Word 

This is a challenging lesson (sorry!) because it relates to a tricky area of English. Good luck! Ha ha.

Enjoy!
