The real English of saying sorry and making things right, in slow, clear English — I'm so sorry, it was an accident, I didn't mean to, it won't happen again, don't worry about it, no harm done, I owe you an apology. An English learning podcast episode you can take on a walk or a long drive, because there is nothing on screen to miss. Taught through Paddington 2.

This episode covers the story of Paddington 2, the family comedy about a polite little bear from Peru who takes odd jobs to buy his aunt a birthday present, is arrested for a theft he did not commit, and wins over an entire prison with marmalade — plus a vocabulary lesson built right into that story: the English of saying sorry, from "I'm so sorry — it was an accident" and "I didn't mean to" to "it won't happen again", "no harm done" and "I owe you an apology".

Perfect for beginner English learners who enjoy movies and want a slow, clear, podcast-friendly way to improve their English listening comprehension and vocabulary on the go — no video required.
