English Corner: through and through

In this episode, I talk about how many times you really need to encounter a word to remember it—and why quality beats quantity.

For example, while binge-watching Selling the OC, I heard the word blindsided multiple times in dramatic situations, which made it stick in my memory.

I also talk about phrases with “through”, like go through with this or put me through, and why learning them in context—like in a TV show or conversation—makes them much easier to remember.

I share how comparing new phrases to ones you already know, like caught off guard, helps cement them even faster. The key takeaway is that context, emotion, and personal connection make vocabulary learning memorable. I hope listeners are left inspired to learn words naturally through stories, shows, and real-life experiences instead of rote repetition.
