Description

🏥In this episode of the Learn English Podcast, I share my real experience with surgery and recovery. You will learn English in context as I explain my back injury, what a herniated disc is, what happens before and after surgery, and what the recovery process is really like.

You will hear real vocabulary and natural expressions used by native English speakers when talking about pain, hospital visits, procedures, anesthesia, incisions, and physical rehabilitation. This episode focuses on how people actually talk about health, injury, and healing in everyday life.

This episode is designed for B1–B2 English learners who want to improve listening skills, expand health and medical vocabulary, and feel more confident when talking about physical problems, recovery, and hospital experiences. After listening, check the vocabulary list and practice using the words in your own sentences.
