In this free English lesson I will help you learn the one word name for many things that have more than one word in their name, or a really long word.It's a bit hard to explain, but you probably already know that we call eyeglasses glasses, but did you know we normally call a remote control a remote, or refer to windshield wipers as wipers? There are many things in English that have a long proper formal name, but we regularly use a much shorter name when talking about it.In this English lesson you'll learn the shorter versions of: web browser, eyeglasses, blue jeans, padlock, pickup truck, shopping mall, photocopier, wristwatch, light bulb, gymnasium, refrigerator, and many more.I hope you enjoy this English class about short names of regular things! Have a great day!Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onpbr5wt-FE or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Say More with Less"The Silver King's WarThe Silver King's War is a series of World War II plays (The Silver King, Marauder Men,...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
