Talking about death is not always easy or welcome and English speakers have developed several ways of doing so without being too direct. Session I looks at literal uses of "die" and its related forms. Sessions II and III consider metaphorical uses, some euphemistic and some a little bizarre.
These advanced-vocabulary one-hour single-topic sessions focus on accuracy, appropriacy and on developing the speaker's range, while considering the many different forms, meanings and usages, both literal and metaphorical.
- Word families
- Conjugations
- Usages, idiomatic and figurative
- Related vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms
- Uses and misuses
- Metaphorical usages
- Aphorisms
