Hi; in order to improve my English I downloaded an APP from my mobile store, it’s called 6 MINUTE ENGLISH. It’s a BBC Learning English Service. It’s a great APP, BUT... Why the hell it is called 6 Minute English? Why not 6 Minutes (minuteS) English? [you can also correct the way I have expressed myself here]. Thank you!!!

It’s a good question, hard to explain! If it was 6 MinuteS you would have to say 6 minutes of English, which doesn’t sound like a great title. I guess we just sometimes use numbers in a single form. Eg 10 minute facemask, 30 Minute program, 30 minute concert, 5 minute parking

It's a very complicated process actually. But the short story is that 6 Minute here is being used to mean "a whole 6 minutes" and not "6 individual minutes"
