This is a short podcast for intermediate and advanced English language learners.In this episode, we look at two very common expressions in English: “it takes…” and “lasts…”. Both are used when we talk about time, but we use them in slightly different ways.

Through simple, everyday examples, we explore how these expressions come up in real conversations.

The goal of this episode is to help you understand how people naturally talk about how long something takes and how long something lasts, so you can feel more comfortable using these expressions in everyday English.
