Listen "How Do Rollercoasters Work?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m talking about hanging upside down.Screaming, laughing, wondering how on earth this thing is still holding me without breaking.A day at a theme park turns into a look into design, danger, and trust.I explore how machines built for fear are actually monuments to precision, and why riding them feels so good.It’s a story about motion, gravity, and control disguised as chaos.✨ EPISODE TRANSCRIPT, ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140895765🧠 Today We Learn:Vocabulary: Theme Parks & Rollercoasters, Engineering, Physics, & Mechanics, Emotions & SensationsGrammar: Inversion for Emphasis, With-Phrase Compression, Contrastive Concessive Clauses with "while" and "whereas"🐣 Too difficult?
