Practitioner audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Practitioner" — noun, pronounced /prækˈtɪʃənə/, with the stress on "ti".
Narrator: A practitioner is a person who actively works in a skilled job, especially medicine or law.
Narrator: In plain English, a practitioner does the job, rather than just studying it.
Narrator: It comes from the older word practitian, built on practice, with an extra letter added over time.
Narrator: A common collocation is "general practitioner", which describes a family doctor, often shortened to GP.
Narrator: It differs from "theorist", because a theorist develops ideas, while a practitioner applies them every day.
Narrator: In a second sense, a practitioner of an art or method is someone who regularly uses it, like a practitioner of yoga.
Narrator: Healthcare, law, education and consulting all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: a practitioner is the person who puts skill into practice.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Why is my doctor called a general practitioner?
Speaker B: Because she treats a bit of everything! PRACTITIONER grew from the word practice, so she practises general medicine.
Speaker A: So a specialist is not a general practitioner?
Speaker B: Right, a specialist focuses on one area, like hearts or skin.
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "Book an appointment with your general practitioner", meaning your GP. "She is an experienced legal practitioner", meaning a working lawyer. "He is a keen practitioner of meditation", meaning he does it regularly.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Spell it with "-tioner", not "-sioner", and remember it names a person, while practice is the activity.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: Professional is its broad cousin, specialist is its focused twin, and expert is the everyday alternative, but practitioner keeps its hands-on charm!
