Six Minute Vocabulary from BBC Learning English.com.
hello, and welcome to Six Minute Vocabulary.
With me, Catherine and me, Finn.
In this program, we're looking at spelling.
And the area of spelling we're looking at today is words with double letters.
Let's start by listening to David.
He's a student welfare officer at a university and he's welcoming a new student to the campus.
And while you listen to David, here's a question for you.
What word means the rooms, flats and houses that people live in?
Here's David.
Congratulations on getting a place at our university.
It's a brilliant opportunity and I'm sure that you will be happy and successful here.
I'm here to help you find accommodation.
We've got rooms, flats and houses all over the city, but I recommend that you apply as soon as possible so you're not disappointed.
Here's a list of addresses.
David, there.
And we asked, what's the word for rooms, flats and houses that people live in?
And the answer is accommodation.
It is.
And accommodation is one of our words with double letters.
