Thirteen years ago, Hurricane Sandy blew into New York, and caused tons of problems for a lot of people, especially my friend Harry, who lived on the 50th floor in a sixty story condo in midtown. Since the power went out, he had to walk down 50 flights of stairs just to leave the building. Luckily, there was a deli on the first floor there. But he still had to walk up the same 50 flights to get back home. Floor, Story, Flight, Condo, Apartment. Today, we’re going to look at some pretty unique vocabulary that we use to talk about where we live and work.

Today, we’re gonna talk about one of the biggest goals that English learners have — and that is: building vocabulary. You’ve probably felt this before — like, “Ugh, I want to express myself, but I just don’t have the words!” Or maybe you’re reading something and keep thinking, “I know this word… I’ve seen it before… but what does it mean again?” Well, first of all — that’s totally normal. And second — I’ve got you. In this English lesson podcast, I’m gonna give you simple, practical tips that’ll help you grow your vocabulary without feeling overwhelmed or bored.  Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/transcript [https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/transcript] Visit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/ [https://www.myhappyenglish.com/]

The other day, I got this ball point pen that’s made of Cedar word. Wow! It really gives off a nice smell. And at the store, they were giving away a free notebook with every pen you buy. Nice, right? I won’t give away the name of the shop though, because if they get too many customers, they may give up that promotion!
