English Listening Practice: Clues and Deduction | Enola Holmes

The real English of clues and deduction, in slow, clear English — a clue, I haven't a clue, What makes you say that?, put two and two together, something doesn't add up, it turns out that. An English learning podcast episode you can follow on a walk or a commute, with no screen needed. Taught through Enola Holmes.

This episode covers the story of Enola Holmes, the Victorian mystery in which Sherlock Holmes's teenage sister goes looking for the mother who vanished on her sixteenth birthday — plus a vocabulary lesson built right into that story: the language of clues and deduction, from “a clue” and “I haven't a clue” and the evidence question English speakers actually use, “What makes you say that?”, to “put two and two together”, “something doesn't add up” and “it turns out that…”.

Perfect for English learners who enjoy movies and want a slow, clear, podcast-friendly way to improve their English listening comprehension and vocabulary on the go — no video required.
