Thank you for always providing great content! However, I'm troubled by the fact that the podcast transcription function is no longer working. If it's disabled in the settings, I hope it will be reactivated. This content is essential for my daily English study, so I hope you will maintain its ease of use.

Thanks to 6 minutes English, I could achieve my goal. Thank you sooo much! From now on, I will also continue to study English hard:) This topic was very interesting for me as usual. Keeping a secret is sometimes difficult…

@marineelire 13 дней назад

It is so out of habit for me to spill the beans. It is a guilty pleasure for me to reveal them to someone. I cannot keep any secret, as soon as I know something I genuinely want to share it with someone. However, the whole point of it is I do not know too many secrets to tell someone about. So, when it happens, I cannot keep myself under control. I do not believe in the evil eye as strong as you are.

I must confess I'm terrible at keeping secrets. I'd rather spill the beans or spill the tea than take a secret with me to the grave.

Dear BBC, When we pronounce the word 'often', do we need to elide 't' sound or not? If I'm not wrong, without elision 't' sound is American English. Please respond me back. Thank you.

@bbclearningenglish 14 дней назад

Native speaks pronounce 'often' both ways - some people pronounce the 't' and some don't, so it's really up to you which you prefer - you'll hear both versions in the UK though :)

@user-rb7fo7el2f 14 дней назад

@@bbclearningenglish Thank you very much for your quick response. As I am very pompous and speak with a posh British Accent, I'm taking care of the pronunciation of each and every word.

Jeremy: Who spilt the beans about me eating George's tuna and cucumber sandwiches? Geoff: It was me, sorry, Jeremy. I had to tell George. It's burdensome to keep such a huge secret! Jeremy: The whole point of eating the sandwich was pretending to apologise to George and secretly give him the evil eye. Giving the evil eye to random people is a guilty pleasure. By the way, Georgina told me about your marriage proposal to her. Congratulations! Geoff: Oh yeah! I completely forgot! I'm getting married!

Personally, I can't keep a secret with my relatives. I think I would also reveal big secrets like pregnancy although in my country it is considered inappropriate because many people believe in the evil eye. However, I am able to keep other people's secrets
