Do you want to learn English at a farmers market? Come with Bob for this outdoor class at the local market in his neighborhood, and he’ll help you learn over 25 English words and phrases that we use when shopping at the market.
Each week Bob and his wife Jen go to their local market to sell their flowers. This past week while they were there, he decided to make an English lesson. It was fun to think of all the vocabulary that he could teach you at that market.
In this English lesson you’ll learn words and phrases like: vendor, canopy, herbicide, organic, customer, tent, stand, stall, booth, farmers market, flea market, produce, empanada, pierogi, samosa, shade, balloon animal, clown, fruits, vegetables, and more!
Hope you enjoy this free English class about the market! 😉

⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!
