Learn phrasal verbs the easy way | Part 2 | Canguro English

-
Phrasal verbs in English are every student's worst nightmare. They are frustrating, confusing and seem to be completely random. But are they?

In part two of this series I will continue to show you how cognitive linguistics can explain the hidden logic behind phrasal verbs and make them much easier to learn. Join me as I teach you the deeper meanings of six more particles: through, around, over, back, for and of. See you in class!

"Human experience shapes language". Philosophical issues...I like that. Thank you, Christian!

Nice, great tips! Phrasal verbs really are so important. I try to teach them to my students every day because I think it is one of the best ways for English students to develop more advanced English. I've been making videos and writing an e-book about ways to learn new phrasal verbs, and this video is also really helpful.

[augustobrum]

This channel is awesome!!! I'm study at exactly three months, and I'm understanding your videos! Your pronnunciation is very easy of understand. Thanks for you show what you know!

[guillaumeflo]

That's so nice of you "" canguro English" to clear phrasal verbs up to those who find it difficult to make heads or tails of what it really means and do get around to making videos after getting off work (well..I guess it). and now I think some of your subscribers may be addicted to using the phrasal verbs all the time (when no needed) ^^

keep it up greetings from france 🇫🇷 (Poitiers ( vienne, nouvelle Aquitaine).
