Easy English Expression. Rehashed! Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions. Come on, let's master English! Hello everybody, Coach Shane here.
E-Cube number 428-1. I love today's expression. A lot of. A lot of. What's another way to say a lot of? Enjoy the podcast. Let's go back in time. Boy, I've made a slew of podcasts, haven't I?
That's for sure. What? What did I say? That's today's expression. Today's expression is a slew of something. S-L-E-W. Now, slew is also the past tense of slay, which means to kill.
But here we're using it as a noun, and this is slang. It means a lot of something, a huge amount of something. So, once again, I have made a slew of podcasts.
Over 420. What is this? 423? My goodness, that's a lot of podcasts. Yeah, that's for sure. I like making them though. As long as you listen to them, I'll keep making them.
You know, today I'm very, very happy. I went to the grocery store earlier today and I like fruit, but to be honest, fruit is a little bit expensive. So I don't usually get too much fruit. But today, oh, wow, they had an excellent sale on cherries.
Yes, dark red cherries. Very good for you. Very healthy. And I can't remember. I think it was $1.99 a pound. and that's still a little bit expensive but they're so good so i bought a slew of cherries i think i got like two pounds of cherries oh boy and they're so delicious they're so juicy and chewy and oh i just love them a slew of cherries that's what i bought today it was a great deal
Let's talk about a slew of something, maybe something that you bought after we listen to the dialogue. What are you doing? Watching Coach Shane's videos. Does he have a lot?
A slew, hundreds of videos, all free. You bet. Not only podcasts, but videos. Yeah, and videos is a great way. If you have time, watching a video is a great way to learn English.
