It can be a very confusing time. This is especially true if you want to discuss this development in English. In this English vocabulary class, we’ll talk about puberty and the vocabulary associated with it, like hormones, growth spurts, acne, mood swings, facial and other hair growth, body odor, the birds and the bees, and more. While these topics can sometimes feel uncomfortable to discuss, they are normal parts of life, and knowing the correct words will help you communicate more confidently in English, whether it is you or a person you know going through puberty.]]> https://www.engvid.com/english-vocabulary-puberty-body-changes/feed/ 0 https://www.engvid.com/grammar-challenge-at-on-in/ https://www.engvid.com/grammar-challenge-at-on-in/#comments Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:07:00 +0000 https://www.engvid.com/?p=9816 at, on, and in correctly and confidently in English?

I will tell you what you should and shouldn’t do when you see a dog. I talk about common mistakes people make, like running away, staring directly into a dog’s eyes, or trying to hug a dog they just met. I also show you safer ways to approach a dog, such as asking the owner for permission, offering a closed fist so the dog can smell you, and letting the dog decide if it wants to come closer. We will also learn useful English vocabulary such as leash, paws, pet, and more. By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand how to behave calmly and respectfully around dogs so both you and the dog stay happy and safe.]]> https://www.engvid.com/how-to-approach-a-dog-without-getting-bitten/feed/ 0 https://www.engvid.com/how-native-speakers-describe-how-someone-feels-10-english-expressions/ https://www.engvid.com/how-native-speakers-describe-how-someone-feels-10-english-expressions/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:08:16 +0000 https://www.engvid.com/?p=9802 spaced out during English class?
