Show Notes
This week I chat to Derick Smith, an artist and English language teacher based here in Dublin. We talk about Easter, which is coming up this week, as well as Derick’s work and his routine as an artist.
In this episode you’ll learn about Easter here in Ireland and some useful vocabulary and idioms for talking about art. In the grammar section I explain four very confusing words connected with time: for, since, during, and ago.
You can see Derick’s art on Instagram here
