E47 Overrated & Overhyped: What We’re All Pretending to Like | Advanced English for expressing opinions
Manage episode 484235645 series 3577242
In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced Edition, Oliver and César explore a question we all secretly ask ourselves: “Do I actually like this… or do I just think I’m supposed to?” From five-star restaurants and summer holidays to podcasts and museums, they take a light-hearted but honest look at things that might be a little overrated, a bit overhyped, or just not all they’re cracked up to be.
Along the way, they revisit The Emperor’s New Clothes as a perfect metaphor for modern trends, and unpack the advanced English you need to talk about personal taste, pressure, and public opinion — including words and phrases like pretentious, mainstream, underwhelming, and jump on the bandwagon.
This is a funny, reflective, vocabulary-rich episode about honesty, hype, and the freedom of saying “meh.”
