Video practice: In the final section of the video there is a practice exercise where a cartoon of a daily routine appears on the screen. There are also three phrases next to the cartoon and you must choose which phrase best describes that activity. The answer appears after 5 seconds (approximately).
Daily Routines for Adults
This video has the same English vocabulary that appears as the video at the top of the page though is aimed at adults learning English.
Instead of static cartoons, you will see two short videos (5 seconds each) showing adults in each daily routine mentioned above.
I give the English pronunciation of each word twice (once for each short video).
This lesson also includes the American English 🇺🇸 and British English 🇬🇧 versions of daily routines when there is a difference.
