Real ESL Video Lesson 7 - Swearing!
Should you swear in English? The answer is NO! Think about when foreigners swear in your language (swear = saying a bad word). Usually, it sounds wrong. They don’t use the word in the right situation or they say it a bit wrong. It’s like when a child swears. It makes you wince (wince = feel uncomfortable, make a face, cringe). Maybe it’s just because I don’t really think swearing is necessary in general, but it’s worse when a child, a foreigner or an old person swears. It’s more offensive (offensive = rude, causing insult). Having said that, you do need to understand it so that you know how to respond. Watch the video and learn the proper meanings of ‘bitch’ and ’slut’.
Have a wonderful day.

I think that your approach is pretty good, but considering that this is a language learning video, you need to pay more attention to sound production. There’s a lot of wind noise in this clip. A shotgun mic would probably help. Failing that, filming indoors?
Thank you! I’m working on this issue. I want to provide transcripts of more posts to help people out. I’m also going to try to avoid places with too much ambient noise.
