Rainbow audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Rainbow" — noun, pronounced /ˈreɪnbəʊ/, with the stress on "rain".
Narrator: A rainbow is an arc of colours in the sky, formed when sunlight passes through raindrops.
Narrator: In plain English, a rainbow is the colourful arc you see after rain when the sun comes out.
Narrator: It combines rain, from the Old English regn, with bow, from the Old English boga, meaning a curved arch.
Narrator: "A double rainbow" describes a rare sight where two rainbow arcs appear, one above the other.
Narrator: It differs from prism because a rainbow occurs naturally in the sky, whereas a prism is a glass object.
Narrator: "Rainbow colours" is a sense meaning the seven colours — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Narrator: Meteorology, art, symbolism, LGBTQ+ pride and mythology all rely on the word rainbow.
Narrator: So remember: a rainbow is a sky arc of colours, from the Old English for rain and bow.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: What causes a rainbow?
Speaker B: Sunlight and rain! RAINBOW combines rain, from the Old English regn, with bow, an arch, so it's an arc of colours formed when sunlight passes through raindrops.
Speaker A: So you see it after a shower?
Speaker B: Exactly — when the sun comes out!
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "A rainbow appeared"; "rainbow colours"; "a pot of gold" — a sight, a palette and a myth.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Don't think a rainbow has no indigo, because the classic seven colours include indigo between blue and violet.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: "Prism" the glass cousin, "spectrum" the scientific twin, "arc" the shape alternative. The word keeps its colourful charm!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "rainbow" in AI prompts — useful for weather-education apps and art-project generators.
Speaker A: So a prompt could frame a lesson?
Speaker B: Right. For a science app, you'd write:
Prompt: Write a short science lesson on how a rainbow forms, naming two colours and one angle.
Speaker A: How about an art tool?
Speaker B: Ask the model to frame a project:
Prompt: Draft an art project guide using rainbow colours, mentioning two materials and one technique.
