Wanna join my cult?

But seriously, cults are fascinating and it seems like they’re everywhere (ever seen those fervent K-Pop fans on the internet?). Yet liking something a lot doesn’t mean you’re in a cult, there’s a lot more to it!

So check out this video and find out how to spot a cult 🧐

I swear by this podcast, honestly!

It’s definitely more challenging and would be beneficial for those who have C1-C2 but I love the topics there and you can always check out the text version of the episode if you don’t get something 🏄🏻‍♀️

Вы когда-нибудь слышали о плато на уровнях В2-С1?
На нем кажется, что в целом всё понятно, но есть ощущение, что пробелы остались 🤔

В такой ситуации часто рекомендуют заниматься еще усиленнее и изучать более специфичную лексику, но где ее искать?

Отрываю от сердца один из своих любимых каналов по английскому: kitchen guerrillas*

*kitchen guerrillas, потому что в основе канала лежит идея кухонных разговоров, тех, что до самого утра и на самые увлекательные/сложные темы

Авторы делятся интересной лексикой на актуальные темы (научат говорить и про daddy issues, и про Майские протесты 1968 года, и, конечно же, понимать сложные мемы) и подробно объясняют как ее употреблять в контексте 🔥

Такие каналы с действительно актуальной лексикой для высоких уровней – редкость, так что заглядывайте к kitchen guerrillas и прокачивайте свой уровень!

(Или как скажете вы, когда изучите пост со сленгом: ngl this channel slays fr 💅)
