Episode 86: Can you ban kids from social media? (How do people really talk about this?)

dimanche 7 décembre 2025 • Durée 14:37

Download the transcript here.

In this episode, we ask: “Can you ban kids from social media?” Australia’s new under-16 ban has already begun — and teenagers are finding creative ways around it. We look at a BBC article reporting how the rollout is going so far (read it here) and explore six natural chunks that show how people really talk about technology and frustration:

stuck it in front of the camera, it let me through, zero faith, do anything other than, ample opportunity, and failed at every turn.

These are everyday phrases you can use to sound more natural and confident in your own English.
