Thinking in English
Thomas Wilkinson
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 we aim 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!

Banks had been lending money to almost anyone (even if they couldn’t afford it) and investors had been assuming that house prices would continue rising. They were wrong. Today I want to talk about the financial crisis, the housing bubble, and the man who had been predicting a financial collapse for years. In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use the past perfect continuous tense. Let’s practise the past perfect continuous and learn about the financial crisis!
