Vocabulary Upgrade: Fresh
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do fresh ideas, fresh air, a fresh pair of eyes, refresh your memory and freshen up have in common?
In this Vocabulary Upgrade episode, I explore the different meanings and patterns behind the word fresh - from something new or recently arrived to something clean, renewed, or full of energy.
You’ll discover why we talk about fresh talent, fresh out of university, a fresh perspective, refreshing a room and even telling someone not to get fresh with you.
Understanding the connections between these different uses can help you remember vocabulary more easily - and, more importantly, help you use everyday English.
