About this listen
“English is a window to the world”. Isn’t that beautiful and so absolutely true? That’s a metaphor. In fact, a powerful one I’ve used several times in this podcast to invite you to open up yours too.
Metaphors add colour and meaning to our lives and help us make sense of the world.
In this episode, we’re going to look into these figures of speech – and their close relation, the simile – to show you how to unleash their power and spice up your conversation in English.
You will see that, as we, humans, think in images, they’re everywhere in our daily lives, translating abstract concepts into ideas we can understand.
The book mentioned in this episode is “Metaphors We Live By”, by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.
