🚨 CRIME VOCABULARY | Words & phrases you need to know
Crime movies and TV shows are some of the most popular entertainment out there. So it's important that you understand some of the specific vocabulary related to crime, law enforcement, and the courtroom.
In this lesson, I'm going to teach you different words and phrases that you will likely hear when watching or listening to something about crime or criminal justice. Learning this vocabulary will help you improve your English comprehension as well as enhance your own ability to talk about these issues.

Best wishes from Germany. My wife and I rushed through „The Rookie“ and relished it. Consequently, waiting for season 6 (starts in May 2024) seemed to be tough. Since I wanted to improve my rusted speaking skills and improve my listening comprehension, I started Rookie from the beginning in original sound. Would have been troublesome without some of your lessons on fast speech. However, some specific people and situations like pillow talk require to dig deep, and sometimes even too deep for me. It still is a great pleasure to experience a lot of improvement with your help. I understand almost 100% of sense, but now even understand 95% of spoken words due to your courses on linking and other specific techniques of fast and fluent speech. Many thanks for that! I will defiantly continue using your videos to improve my skills and getting the best out of my English 😊
