Description
Learn English through today’s real news. Slow, clear English at A1, with a full transcript.
In this episode: Dating apps are losing users. New data shows fewer paying subscribers, especially on Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, and Bumble, as some people want real-life contact again. Also: France reports 301 drownings since 19 June. Officials link the rise to long heatwaves, risky swimming spots, and sudden cold-water shock.
Today’s English focus: are using, are using = are using. Vocabulary: subscriber (a person who pays for a service regularly), option (a choice you can use), similarity (how two things are alike).
