Episode 1 - The American Story

Hi, guys!

Today we are gonna have a short lesson about crimes!

We are going to study new words and grammar. And as homework you will have some exercises.
Let’s go.

Crime is a very interesting topic, and a bad guy who takes your money or kills someone we can call a criminal, a felon or a culprit. This guy usually commits a crime.

Okay, so a criminal, a felon or a culprit commits a crime.

What other crimes should we know?

Bribery. Bribery is a crime when one person gives money to get an illegal service. For example, a person gives a doctor 1000$ to make fake papers. When you make fake papers, we call it forgery. 

Okay, bribery, to give a bribe.

Next word is blackmail. If he wanted to give a bribe, but his doctor refused, he can blackmail him. It means that he writes: “If you don’t do what I want, I will ruin your life”. He threatens this person.

Blackmail, to blackmail, blackmailer.


If this person doesn’t listen to this guy, he starts stalking him. He becomes a stalker. He follows him every minute. He wants to get what he’s asking for.

Finally the police arrest him. He is a criminal and he’s behind bars. 

People start talking about him:

“-It is said that he is a criminal
-yes, he is said to be a blackmailer and stalker. He also gave a bribe!”

If you look at these sentences you can see a very good grammar structure.

Let's take a closer look.

For example, we say  “She is a teacher.” We can also say “it is said that she is a teacher” or “sh is said to be a teacher” 

It is said she is beautiful
She is said to be beautiful.


Practise these sentences at home and ask me for correct answers in messages.

He is smart. 
He is a felon. He gives a bribe.
She is a stalker. She stalks him every day.
Criminals commit crimes. 
Bob is a felon. He blackmails people.
Susue is a criminal. She blackmails people and gives bribes.

That’s it guys. If yo9u liked this podcast, and this lesson you can book a trial lesson with me!

FRIDA KAHLO. EL ACCIDENTE.

Bonjour ma vie

Et vous mes désespoirs.
Me revoici aux fossés
Où naquit ma misère !
Toi mon vieux guignon,
Je te rapporte un peu de cœur
Bonjour, bonjour à tous
Bonjour mes vieux copains ;
Je vous reviens avec ma gueule
De paladin solitaire,
Et je sais que ce soir
Monteront des chants infernaux…
Voici le coin de boue
Où dormait mon front fier,
Aux hurlements des vents,
Par les cris de Décembre ;
Voici ma vie à moi,
Rassemblée en poussière…
Bonjour, toutes mes choses,
J’ai suivi l’oiseau des tropiques
Aux randonnées sublimes
Et me voici sanglant
Avec des meurtrissures
Dans mon cœur en rictus !…
Bonjour mes horizons lourds,
Mes vieilles vaches de chimères :
Ainsi fleurit l’espoir
Et mon jardin pourri !
- Ridicule tortue,
J’ai ouvert le bec
Pour tomber sur des ronces
Bonjour mes poèmes sans raison…

Anyone who is focused on growing and success will go through a phase where you leave your old self behind. As a result, you can no longer relate to your old friends. However, you are in that  phase wherein you are not fully developed  yet for your new friends.
