Acerca de esta escucha

 Thinking in English is a podcast designed for intermediate and advanced English learners. I believe that thinking is an incredibly important step on the road fluency, and this podcast is going to help you achieve this by discussing topics ranging from politics and economics, to philosophy and science. Rather than "learning English", Thinking in English focuses on "learning in English." Learn something new, listen to something interesting, and improve your English at the same time!

And perhaps no historical figure better represents this idea than Winston Churchill. To many people, especially in the UK and the West, Churchill is a national hero. He is the man who led Britain through its darkest hour in World War Two. His speeches are iconic, his image is legendary, and his name is often linked to courage, resilience, and freedom. But not everyone sees him this way. To others, Churchill was a symbol of empire, colonialism, and racism. A man whose decisions caused suffering for millions. He is a hero to some, a villain to others. In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’re going to ask a difficult question: Was Winston Churchill a hero… or a villain? We’ll look at his achievements, examine the darker parts of his legacy, and explore why his reputation remains so controversial today. And as always, I’ll encourage you to think critically and form your own opinion, while learning some new vocabulary!

According to some people, this right is currently at risk. People are starting to believe that free speech is in danger. Today I want to look in more depth at this topic. What is the biggest threat to free speech at the moment? Is it censorship? Or is it misinformation? In order to talk about free speech, and many other topics, we need to understand and know how to use paired conjunctions. Paired conjunctions are very useful. They allow us to connect words, phrases, or ideas together, and are always used in pairs. Let’s practice using paired conjunctions and discuss free speech in today’s episode of Thinking in English Grammar!

  • 339. Pluto: What is a Planet? (English Vocabulary Lesson)

    339. Pluto: What is a Planet? (English Vocabulary Lesson)
    May 26 2025
    Download ELSA for free + get 7 days premium membership for free: https://bit.ly/ELSAxTHINKINGINENGLISH Get exclusive ELSA discounts: https://elsaspeak.com/inf/promo-code-thinking-in-english/?promocode=THINK85 How many planets are in our solar system? Is it eight… or nine? For a long time, children around the world were taught that our solar system had nine planets, including a small, distant one named Pluto. But in 2006, Pluto was reclassified. It was no longer considered a “real” planet, and the official number of planets dropped to just eight. Why did this happen? Why was Pluto removed from the list of planets? And what exactly is a planet anyway? In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’ll look at what a planet actually is, why Pluto used to be a planet but isn’t anymore, and how science changes over time. We’ll also talk about the history of planet discoveries, like Neptune and Uranus, and how our understanding of the solar system has developed. This episode is also a great chance to learn scientific vocabulary and practice thinking critically in English. We’ll explain important terms like orbit, gravity, dwarf planet, and clearing its orbit. And we’ll discuss some fascinating facts about space, science, and the nature of definitions themselves. So… is Pluto really a planet? Or not? Let’s find out.
