In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” and what we can expect from season 4 vol. 2, which is dropping on Netflix on July 1. Join us in this fun, light-hearted conversation and learn a lot of advanced vocabulary with us!

You’ve decided to learn English. You’ve decided that that’s important to you. You’ve decided to work on your mindset in order to become a confident, natural English speaker. But now you might be wondering: “How can I learn English successfully?” “What should I do?”. In today’s episode, we’ll share with you the principles behind our method (The RealLife Way) along with practical tips you can start implementing TODAY in order to Live, Speak & Master your English in the real world.

If you want to sound more natural when you speak English, you need to learn and use phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs help you better understand natives on the media and sound more confident and natural yourself. In today’s episode, we will give you the basics to understanding phrasal verbs and you will learn some cool new phrasal verbs to spice up your vocabulary.

One of the greatest ways for you to be part of the current conversation, socialize and understand jokes is by staying up-to-date with what’s going on in Pop Culture. In today’s episode, we will discuss some recent events involving celebrities, and share our thoughts about them. Plus, you will learn a ton of cool vocabulary you can use when talking about Pop Culture with your friends.

We all love movies. Not only are they a great form of entertainment, they can also make you think, learn useful life lessons and help you develop your English vocabulary and listening skills. In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss some quotes from some of the most iconic movies ever made. Plus, you will learn tons of advanced vocabulary in the process.

But before we get into “Living” “Speaking” and “Mastering” your English, we have to talk about mindset. Mindset is the set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.

You might be wondering “What does this have to do with learning English?» Well, the answer might surprise you!

Today, we’re going to talk about why having the right mindset matters when it comes to being a successful learner and how YOU can achieve this.

Great study routine is an essential part of advancing on your language journey. But sometimes it can be difficult to fit studying into your busy schedule. So today, we’ll talk about different things you can do in your day-to-day life to effortlessly improve your English.

Learning pronunciation can be challenging. The English language has so many different sounds that learning all of them can be overwhelming. However, there is ONE particular sound that can dramatically change the way you speak and understand English. This small, tiny sound can bring big, positive changes to your English.

Learning English is one of the best things you can do in your life. However, since this is a mid-term to long-term endeavor, sometimes we lose sight of why we started learning English in the first place. In today’s episode, we’ve listed some reasons why you should learn (or keep learning) English. This will hopefully make you feel inspired and give you extra motivation to keep going with your studies.

Learning a language goes beyond memorizing words and basic grammar rules. Understanding culture is like having a context that allows you to give the right meaning to each new word you learn. The more you know about the social and cultural background of the language, the easier it is to learn new words, expressions and ways of speaking. In today’s podcast, we’ll look at how understanding culture can help improve your English fluency.

Slang is unavoidable, no matter what language you’re learning, and it’s becoming increasingly more common in movies, TV series, and especially on social media.
It’s also one of those aspects of language which isn’t usually taught in the classroom even though it’s an important part of becoming proficient in any language. In our podcast today, you will learn 10 useful slang words and expressions that you can use to make your conversations more interesting.

As language learners, one of the most demotivating situations to be in is when someone says, “I don’t understand you.”. It can feel as though all of the hard work you’ve put in was for nothing. Knowing how to deal with this situation could be the difference between giving up and communicating confidently. So in today’s podcast, we’ll discuss some of the best techniques you can use if you’re ever in this situation, as well as tips to help you avoid having this issue in the future.

One of the greatest challenges for Upper-intermediate learners is to continue making progress in their English. We’ve had countless students tell us about this problem: They already speak English quite well but still have some things to improve.

So get ready to test your knowledge on some trending words in 2022.

As language learners, we often strive for perfect pronunciation, because how we sound is the first thing people hear when we speak. We’re afraid that if we make a mistake, especially when it comes to pronunciation, our value will diminish and others will realize that we’re not as good as we say we are. But let’s be honest, in many cases, English pronunciation makes no sense! In English, spelling and sound don’t always correspond (in fact, they rarely do!). Worry no more! In today’s lesson, our Beyond Borders guests will share some of the best methods you can use to improve your pronunciation. Get ready to be inspired!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Did you try to read that out loud? Did you find it hard? That’s a tongue twister.

Gabriele Oettingen is a Professor of Psychology and author originally from Germany. She has been teaching at New York University and the University of Hamburg for more than 20 years. Her research focuses on the Science of Motivation and explains why positive thinking alone is not enough to achieve our goals. Upon more than 25 years of research, she developed a goal-achievement strategy called WOOP. WOOP stands for WISH, OUTCOME, OBSTACLE, and PLAN. This empirically based approach focuses on helping people connect to their biggest wishes, clarify the desired outcome, identify the obstacles that may stand in the way, and set a realistic plan in just ten minutes or less!

I first heard about Gabriele’s work three years ago, and I found it immensely helpful for setting goals. This time of year, many of us are thinking about what new objectives we want to achieve, so I was so thrilled to be able to get Gabriele on. With Gabriele’s advice, you can make this the year that you actually achieve some of your deepest desires, be it English fluency, weight loss, better health, a new job, or even less anxiety!

Why the advice to be optimistic or think positive may not always be to your benefit. How you can use WOOP to identify the right goals for this new year and actually achieve them. When you should use WOOP to be most successful and plenty of examples. How we can deal with risk aversion. How you can use WOOP to be a better parent. So much more.

You’ve probably been through a situation where you either needed to say a word, but you couldn’t remember it, or that you had to speak in English but simply didn’t know how to say something even though you know it perfectly in your own language.

Each of them has learned at least five foreign languages, so trust me that they have a LOT of experience learning A LOT of words.

«My weakness? Well, I’d say I’m a bit of a perfectionist.» How many times have you heard someone saying that or have even said that yourself? It’s quite common to repeat this over and over as an excuse to not take the next step towards a goal or a dream that you have.

Now, you may be thinking «But Ethan, I am proud of myself for being a perfectionist because it means that I care deeply about the things I do.» I understand why you might believe that calling yourself a perfectionist makes you feel that you work hard(er) than others to achieve the things you want to do. And there is some truth in that. However, our admiration for perfection is so universal that we never really stop to question what this concept is doing to you and your language learning journey.

After traveling to Mexico at the age of 17 without knowing a word of Spanish, and struggling to connect with locals, he worked hard to perfect his accent by understanding the sonority of the language. He created The Mimic Method and used this approach to learn five other languages. He is oftentimes mistaken as a native speaker of the languages he has learned. Since then, he has helped lots of students to use principles of music to perfect their pronunciation in order to help them overcome the language barriers while building meaningful relationships in a foreign language.

Idahosa has created a truly revolutionary method for learning languages. It is probably the exact opposite of how you have been told to learn English your entire life. I truly recommend you listen to this episode until the end, If you can take some notes, and try at least one of his recommendations. Idahosa explains how he reactivates a language when he needs to start using it again. We talked about his unique approach for learning vocabulary, which is completely personalized to the learner’s needs and goals. As well as why you don’t need to worry about learning grammar. Idahosa says that awareness is foundational. It can help you to overcome fear, awkwardness, and frustration when speaking. He explains how. He discussed how the international phonetic alphabet can be a useful tool to use to create a map of what accurate speaking and listening look like. And he explained why it is never too late to start using this method. No matter where you are on your learning journey, you can use his Mimic Method and the tips you are about to hear to improve your English listening and speaking. That and so much more on Episode 12 of Beyond Borders!

We are very excited to celebrate our 250th podcast episode with you today! For this reason, we’ve selected a few questions that you, our listeners, have submitted to answer for you. You’ll learn a bit of grammar, a bit of vocabulary and some curiosities, like some 43-letter word that holds the record for the longest English word. That, and more, of course! Show notes here.

If you can’t focus, you’re not alone. Let me share a secret with you. So it has taken me more than five years to learn what I need to do to focus on getting my work done. And I must say, until this day, I sometimes find myself getting distracted and switching between tasks on a busy work day. Does this happen to you? It’s so easy to get trapped in distraction when facing a difficult or daunting task. And I’m sure that you have those moments while studying English. So today, we’re going to look at the self-development side of English, exploring the different ways in which the practice of meditation can help you to improve your English, and even more importantly, your life.

You asked for it and we listened. In today’s podcast we’re bringing you a topic that you have requested us to cover. Many of you are currently studying for or have completed the IELTS exam. So, in this episode of the podcast we’re giving you 10 tips to help you pass the exam or improve your score. Show notes here.

Justin Murray is the Co-founder and CEO of RealLife English. He’s originally from the Seattle area in Washington State in the US but has been living in Brazil for more than 10 years. Justin and his business partners (including yours truly) started RealLife English as a series of face-to-face events to give their students the opportunity to practice speaking English through real-life conversations. The business grew into a global community with two very successful Youtube channels, a podcast, and a recently launched app designed to help learners like you to live your English. Justin believes that every learner is on a journey to become the best version of themselves and English is a powerful tool to achieve that. He dreams and works hard towards creating a world beyond borders in which global citizens connect through a common language.

Justin is my co-founder and a friend of mine, so we had a pretty fascinating conversation if I do say so myself! He recommends a couple of mind-blowing books that can change your life. Meditation and journaling are two crucial and fundamental daily habits of his, so we talked about why they are powerful and how you can get started if you’re curious. Justin shared what running competitively in high school and college taught him about life and leadership, and how his parents taught him the value of short term pain for long term gain. We discussed how RealLife English got started with events. If you are a teacher or a learner that might like to start an English-speaking group in your city, you can get some helpful advice here. Justin also shared some tips and resources that can help you if you have ever wanted to give up, be it on learning English or any project or endeavor. And we played a fun new game that will get you laughing. That and so much more coming up on episode 10 of Beyond Borders! Download the App Here

In this episode of the RealLife English podcast, Ethan and Andrea share some of their most fun and memorable stories traveling around the world. Here’s a little teaser: Ethan tells us about his experience being in ‘house arrest” in Thailand. Can you imagine Andrea, also in Thailand, putting on Muay Thai gloves and getting into a ring? Oh, and there’s also a time when Ethan got completely lost in Poland without being able to speak any Polish! Like us, you’re probably missing being able to travel, so sit back, relax, and come on this journey with us. Show notes here.

Lindsay, from All Ears English, is an American podcast host and producer, and entrepreneur with more than 15 years of experience teaching English as a Second language in Japan, Argentina, Guatemala, and the US. She believes in ‘connection, not perfection’ when it comes to learning English, and has inspired English language learners worldwide through her thriving podcast, All Ears English, which has been downloaded more than 200 million times!

This interview was so much fun! We started off talking about Lindsay’s experiences living abroad, particularly in Japan. If you are a perfectionist, then this will be great for you because Lindsay shared some things that helped her to overcome her own perfectionism in language learning. We talked about why it is important to learn about the culture, not just the language—even if you don’t plan to travel to another country. Lindsay and her colleagues are also IELTS experts! So if you plan to study for the exam, you will get some great tips here that can help you reach your goals. We finished with a fun new game where you can pick up some new advanced vocabulary.

You often ask us questions about how to reach the next level in your English. At the beginning, progress feels so fast, but then it becomes slower and slower, and you get stuck at the same level for a while, and you just don’t know how to break through and get to the next one. In this podcast, we investigate why your English may not be improving as fast as you would like it to, and will give you practical advice on what you can do to get to the next level, no matter where you are on your journey right now.

Today we’re bringing you another Beyond Borders podcast special as we prepare our next interview with Lindsay McMahon from All Ears English. This week we’ve taken some of the most powerful fragments from previous shows with Anna from English Fluency Journey, Hadar from Accents Way, Christina Lorimer and Leo Gomez.

You’re going to love this special episode where Anna tells us about the immense benefit of having a support network for your learning. Then, Hadar shares her opinion on the often conflicting relationship many have with their identity when learning a new language. You won’t wanna miss that! Christina then expands on that idea, while also relating it to her experience living in Spain. Finally comes Leo, a brilliant Brazilian English teacher and he shares his experience learning the language. Download the App Here

This week you will learn a lot of English vocabulary related to finances and on top of that you’ll learn quite a bit from this crash course of sorts on investment and cryptocurrency. We’ll teach you some phrasal verbs having to do with investments, then we’ll touch on the crypto-craze that’s been going on for a while now. This podcast contains no financial advice but a great deal of English. Don’t miss out! Show notes here.

As we prepare for the next Beyond Borders interview, featuring a guest you are going to be very excited to learn with, we’ve put together this lesson with bits from some of our previous guests.

Have you ever asked, I want to speak English with natives, where do I find them? Have you avoided speaking with other learners because you believe it will make your English worse? You’ll be surprised to hear about Vanessa, Hadar, Emma and Shannon’s experiences learning with other non-native learners. Show notes here.

Listen to the whole podcast with each guest:

When people ask us “How are you?”, we often get lazy and we use the same old replies such as “I’m good,” “I’m great,” AND especially “I’m fine.” But there are so many more great ways to describe how you’re feeling if you want to be more specific about your emotions. In this podcast we’ll help you expand your vocabulary and learn a range of words to describe your emotions, thinking about them on a scale from low intensity to high intensity. Show notes here.

Emma, from mmmEnglish, is a YouTube Teacher, English Confidence Coach, and Entrepreneur based in Perth, Australia. She started her channel to help her former Vietnamese students get out of the classroom and develop real-world fluency and has now grown it to a community of over 4M subscribers. Emma is passionate about helping English learners build their confidence to use their English in the real world. She is also the co-founder of Hey Lady!, an online community for women from around the world to connect and practice their English in a safe environment.

I was so excited to have Emma on. It’s actually not the first time that I have met her, and she is so much fun! We talked about what exactly real world English fluency is, and why it is not enough to just speak with natives. She told me about how she overcomes cross-cultural conflict in her Hey Lady! community and how learners can develop the skills to make meaningful connections through English. We also talked about how you can deal with stress and anxiety when it comes to speaking. We discussed why having a strong purpose for your learning, and anything else in life, is absolutely crucial. And as always we finished with a fun game where Emma and I tested our knowledge of each other’s countries That and so much more coming up in episode 9 of Beyond Borders! Show notes here.

We spend one third of our lives sleeping and it’s no wonder that there are so many great words we use instead of sleep in English. By learning them, you can be more specific about the way that you describe your sleep. We also use heaps of expressions related to sleep that can be confusing if you don’t know them. Show notes here.

Leo Gomez, founder of Learn your English (.net), is an ESL teacher, trainer and entrepreneur. He has more than 20 years of teaching experience and has taught English in six different countries. Leo believes that individuals develop through reflection, experimentation and learning from their mistakes. Amazingly, he hasn’t used the course book to teach in more than seven years. Leo emigrated from Brazil to Canada, where he started his business called Learn Your English. Through courses, masterclasses and two podcasts, Leo and his business partners work to build a language community for both instructors and learners to become more autonomous and effective.

In today’s podcast episode, we are talking about differences in schooling in the USA, UK and Australia. It’s actually pretty shocking how different they are in these three English speaking countries. We will explain what the journey looks like through the schooling system in each country and important terms and vocabulary that you need to know related to this. You might find this especially helpful if you plan on studying abroad or applying to a university in an English-speaking country. Show notes here.

I just am absolutely blown away by Shannon’s ability to study 5+ languages simultaneously on top of working, running her own project, and spending time with family. That said, this interview will give you tons of ideas for how you can improve your skills in English or start learning another language, even if you are very busy and have hardly any time. Shannon told me about some of her favorite tools and systems that she uses to organize her learning in all of her different languages. There’s a lot here that I want to try applying to my own learning, and I’m sure you will, too. She discusses why motivation is not important, and what actually is really essential. Shannon, like myself, is an introvert, and we discussed tips that can help you speak languages even if you are shy or introverted. She shared how you can get the most out of your course book and other resources. We also talked about what fluency is. I found her answer pretty surprising and fascinating. So there is a ton of useful information in this interview—you may want to grab a pen and paper! Now ladies and gents, let’s get into episode 7 of Beyond Borders. Show notes here.

“I don’t have time for English.” “I have so many things to do.” “Work is busy.” “I have lots of university assignments.” “In my free time, I want to relax, not be thinking about English.” Do you ever say these things to yourself? Do you not have time to learn English? We understand how you feel. We’ve felt the same way too learning other languages and we’ve combated that with a few tricks to never let a day pass without learning and practicing the languages we learn. In this podcast lesson, we are going to give you some tips and some strategies to help you make English a part of your everyday life. Show notes here.

Christina Lorimer, christinalorimer.com, is an English instructor, materials writer, academic consultant, and entrepreneur. She is a specialist in English as a second language and has worked with NGOs and immigrant refugees for many years. She dedicates her work to support language learners in overcoming internal and systemic barriers to become confident English speakers.

We talked about her experience helping immigrants in California to learn English and overcome strong emotional barriers, and her advice that could help you overcome your own limits to speak. We discussed her feeling depressed the first time that she lived outside of the United States, and the importance of having a support network. Also why going to an English speaking country will not be the magic pill to help you speak fluently. It was interesting hearing her perspectives on culture shock and reverse culture shock when returning to the USA. Christina also gave advice for English teachers to stay relevant in 2021 and beyond.

Her language journey started with Spanish, but Christina also speaks Brazilian Portuguese fluently. Through her Youtube Channel, she teaches English in Portuguese and helps learners just like you with their dream of learning English in a simple and fun way. Show notes here.

Today we have a very special podcast where we take a trip down memory lane (remember the past) and talk about expressions that we used to say as kids. These are funny playground expressions, some of which you’ve probably heard in kid shows or in family movies. As you’ll see the vocabulary and the language can be quite interesting, even philosophical, in some of these. Don’t miss out! Show notes here.

Olly Richards, iwillteachyoualanguage.com and langpreneur.com, is a polyglot online teacher, author, and entrepreneur. After buying a one-way ticket to Paris at the age of 19, there was no turning back on the language learning journey for him. Since then, Olly has learned more than eight languages fluently and has developed his own method, StoryLearning, to help thousands of people speak a foreign language. He is originally from the UK, but Olly is a true global citizen. Over the last 15 years, he has lived, worked, or traveled to Japan, Portugal, France, Brazil, Egypt, Qatar, and many other countries. Through his I Will Teach You a Language Youtube Channel, podcast, and Publishing Company he helps people around the world improve their lives, relationships, and potential by learning new languages. In fact, early in my own language learning days, some 7 or 8 years ago, Olly was a big hero and inspiration of mine! And on the Langpreneur Podcast, he invites the biggest names of the language industry to share the ins and outs of turning their passion for languages into a profitable online business.

In this week’s podcast, we’re talking all about whether or not you SHOULD TRY to sound like a native and how this correlates with accent reduction, intelligibility, identity and your DEEPER PURPOSE for learning English. Is this a particular goal you have as part of your English language journey? Have you ever faced any prejudice for the accent that you have? Whatever your thoughts are on the subject, it’s a really interesting one and so you’ll enjoy listening to our discussion about it. Show notes here.

Anna Khoma, @HannahKhoma on Instagram, is an English learner and teacher, accent coach, and vlogger from Chernivtsi, Ukraine. On her YouTube channel, English Fluency Journey, she shares her own journey to get to a native level of English, and her continued journey learning English. Anna started studying English seriously shortly after her son was born, about four years ago. At that point, she had never spoken English. Through hard work, passion, and dedication, she has been able to achieve the incredible results that you will hear shortly. But, as she says, English fluency is not a destination, it is a journey, and so she sees it as something that she will be learning her entire life. Show notes here.

In this week’s podcast, Ethan and Ollie talk all about money. You will learn idioms and expressions related to money that you can start using today in your real-life conversations or on the RealLife App. Learning these idioms and expressions will make you sound more natural when you speak English. So, take out your pen and paper, and get ready to write some of these expressions down. Show notes here.

I will apologize ahead of time—I had some audio issues and so the quality is a little bit less than normal! But despite this, I highly urge you to listen to the whole episode because this was a dynamite conversation and there is great advice here for both English learners and teachers alike! Show notes here.

In this week’s podcast, Andrea and I are answering your questions. We asked you on Instagram, what you want to know about English or about us. And the great thing about your questions is they are rich in language and vocabulary. So you are going to learn lots of new expressions in this podcast. Show notes here.

In this week’s podcast, we’re talking all about connected speech! You’ll learn about how we often don’t pronounce some words, how we reduce others and how we change some sounds in order to flow more naturally with our speech. This is a really interesting topic that will not only allow you to understand native English better, but you can also use this in your everyday speech too. At the end, we put ourselves to the test with the classic “Betty Botter bought some butter“ tongue twister. So, stick till the end to check that out and give it a go yourself! Show notes here.

In this episode of the show I had an amazing conversation with Hadar Shemesh, an incredibly skilled and insightful accent and fluency coach from Israel. She moved to NYC when she was 21 to pursue acting, where she worked as a bartender at a Jazz club to support herself. According to her, she used to get criticized because of her strong Israeli accent, but acting helped her become a «diligent speech student.» We start off talking about how we can often feel uncomfortable speaking a foreign language because we can’t express our identity, and her experience of this while living in New York. We discuss why it is less important than you think to speak like a native, and much more important to discover how to speak like yourself. We cover extensively about native-speakerism and discrimination towards English learners and non-native teachers, and how you can overcome imposter syndrome and share your passion with the world. No matter where you are on your language learning journey, whether you are a non-native teacher or a student, you will get a lot out of this interview. So, let’s jump in! Show notes here.

In this week’s podcasts, Ethan and Ollie get their competitive spirit out with the best online games that you can use to practice your English. Learning through games is an excellent way to make your learning experience a lot more fun and dynamic. So, if you like the idea of taking your English out of the classroom and having fun, don’t miss out on this episode! Show notes here.

In this debut episode of the show, you are going to learn a ton and get a lot of inspiration from Vanessa. She’s an American English teacher who has over 3 million subscribers on her Speak English with Vanessa YouTube channel. In this episode of Beyond Borders with Ethan she talks about her time living in France, where working as a nanny she taught English to the two children she was babysitting. She also tells us about why she deleted all the social media apps off of her phone, how her perspective changed moving abroad and how she prevents losing her French skills while living in the USA, her opinions and strategies on raising her two children, how resourcefulness, passion and small wins have made her successful, her opinions on whether you need to speak English with a native. Vanessa is an avid reader, so you will learn the books that she recommends most to English learners. And so much more… so listen now! Show notes here.

This week we have a reason to celebrate. We’re now a 4 million people community on YouTube! And because a lot of people are congratulating us on YouTube, we decided it’d be fitting to record a podcast on different ways to say congratulations. This is a word that learners often misuse, so we detail the different situations when it is okay to say “congratulations” (hint: not on someone’s birthday!). Show notes here.

We’re super excited to announce that we have started testing, and are getting ready to release the much anticipated RealLife English Podcast and Speaking App, which will give dedicated learners, just like you, the opportunity to listen to podcasts, not only with audio and transcripts, but also to speak English with other learners from around the world, at the touch of a button, for free.

11 Reasons Why the Real Life English Podcast Will Change the Way You Learn English

A re you looking for ways to learn English that don’t take any time to do?

Would you like to improve your listening skills?

Are you looking for ways to learn English that are FUN?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then the Real Life English Podcasts are going to change your life.

1. Have FUN

Many ESL podcast are boring and way too serious.

We focus on making the Real Life English Podcasts as entertaining and as light as possible while still giving you valuable information.

We tell jokes and have fun while following a structure that makes the learning quick and painless. We don’t talk about one subject for too long. For example, each episode we have a small grammar tip, but we only spend a minute or two talking about it.

2. Learn How Natives Actually Speak

Many listening exercises that ESL learners do are scripted readings that don’t resemble real-life conversations. They tend to be slowed down, enunciated extremely well, and they don’t use any sound morphing (how natives cut and mix their words together—like gonna and wanna).

In the Real Life English Podcasts, me and Chad talk naturally. Everything is unscripted and is as unedited as possible. This’ll help you learn to understand English, the way it’s naturally spoken. You’ll also realize how common it is for even native speakers to make mistakes.

3. Learn English Anytime, Anywhere

One of the best parts about learning through audio is that you can learn anywhere. Your 40-minute commute to and from work can now turn into an English class. The 20 minutes it takes you to shop, cook, or walk your dog can now turn into an English class.

4. Improve Your Comprehension by Listening to Native Speakers

Many non-native English speakers say that they have trouble with listening comprehension. If you want to improve your listening comprehension… you need to practice listening! Amazing, right?

Even if you don’t understand everything that’s being said, or even if you hardly understand anything at all, you’re still learning. You don’t need to understand everything. Not listening to podcasts because you don’t understand everything is just an excuse.

Even if you understand nothing, your brain is still learning to identify the different sounds, phonetics, tones, and rhythm of the language.

The more you listen to people speaking in English, the easier it will be to converse with natives.

After listening to native English speaking podcasts, you’ll notice yourself having a much easier time understanding native speakers, and new words may come out of your mouth that make you think, “Where did I learn that word?”

5. Learn Real Life English Vocab

During the Real Life English Podcasts, whenever me or Chad naturally say a word or phrase that we think might be difficult for ESL learners to understand, we quickly define it for you and give you a few examples of how the word can be used.

Also, we listen to the podcast after we record it and write down the definition of any other words that we think might be difficult for non-native English speakers and give them to you in the text of the section of the show notes called Words to Know.

These aren’t words we think you should know. These are words we ACTUALLY use when we have a normal conversation.

6. Learn the Differences Between American and British English

Because I’m from the United States and Chad is from Australia, we naturally get into discussions about the differences between American and British/Australian English.

You get to hear the different ways that Australians and Americans pronounce different words and also the different phrases and expressions they use.

Sometimes I’ll say something that Chad doesn’t know, or he’ll say something that I don’t know, like busking (which we talked about in Episode 13 – Expressions related to Happiness).

If you’re one of the people who have trouble understanding the Australian accent, then have no fear, Chad’s Australian accent is mild.

7. Learn 5 New Expressions

The main material covered in the podcasts are the five expressions that Chad posts in the Facebook page and group every week.

There are tons of idiomatic expressions that are commonly used in English, and they can be quite difficult to learn by yourself as they aren’t found in regular dictionaries.

These expressions always cover a specific theme, like happiness. We give many definitions of each expression, say if it reminds us of any similar expressions, and then give you examples of how you can use it.

8. Get Your Questions Answered

Every podcast we answer a question or two from our community on Twitter. These questions are usually related to grammar. We’ve answered questions like “what’s the difference between ‘get up’ and ‘wake up,’” “when do use ‘shall’?” and “the difference between ‘only’ and ‘just’.”

If there’s something you’d like us to answer on the podcast, please tweet us @reallifeeng.

9. Learn a Cool, Quick Tip

Each episode we end with a quick tip to help you improve your English. This could be anything from the amazing vocabulary learning tool of Anki , to the thought-provoking videos (with subtitles and transcripts for 20+ languages) of TED .

These resources are designed to help you learn how to become an English for Life learner and get you excited about learning English. For more information on how to become an English for Life learner, check out this video on How to Become an English for Life Learner.

10. Stay Up-to-Date with the News

We start every podcast with a few jokes, then talking about what’s happening in the Real Life English Community.

You’ll be first to know about new projects we’re working on, Real Life English events, what parts of the world we plan to have our parties at next, and any other information we think our listeners would benefit from.

11. It’s FREE

One of the best parts about the Real Life English Podcast is that it’s completely free. You can download from our website or from iTunes and it won’t cost you a single penny.

So what are you waiting for?

Hi…so many thanks to Real Life English team for your very useful lessons. It’s very helpfull to me and for others who really want to learn english..and its all for free. Great job, God bless you.

Hey guys, I’ve really enjoyed your podcasts. There’s one thing I’d like to comment to you: it’s about when Justin says in the intro “English should not be a dry…”. I can’t hear the word “should” and I think that’s connect speach as well, am I right? It looks to me like he doesn’t say that word, he swallows it, if I can say that.

Song and Lyrics: Bruno Mars –When I Was Your Man

Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don’t sound the same
When our friends talk about you
All that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little
When I hear your name
And all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should’ve bought you flowers and held your hand
Should’ve give you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she’s dancing
With another man

My pride, my ego
My needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you
To walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up
The mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Although it hurts
I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I’m probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember
How much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should’ve done
When I was your man

Do all the things I should’ve done
When I was your man

21+ лучших бесплатных подкастов для изучения английского языка

Подкасты — один из мощных способов для изучения английского языка. В этой статье, мы отобрали лучшие из них. Как с британским, так и с американским акцентом.

Прочитав описание, вы сможете выбрать подходящий подкаст для обучения восприятию английского языка на слух и немедленно приступить к его прослушиванию.

Что такое подкасты и для чего они нужны?
⠀
Подкасты — это аудиофайлы похожие на радио- и телеэфиры. Такой формат обучения хорош непосредственным погружением в язык.
⠀
Плюсы подкастов:
• Избавление от акцента
• Привыкание к английской разговорной речи
• Новые сленговые выражения
• Грамматика на практике
• Изучение разговорных сокращений

Подкасты для изучения британского английского языка

Именно британский английский язык является основой обучения в большинстве школ и ВУЗов.

Этот язык считается наиболее чистым и правильным вариантом или же попросту говоря: академическим.

Если вы хотите упростить свое обучение, читать классическую литературу или смотреть Шерлока в оригинале, то благодаря подобранным нами подкастам вы с легкостью освоите британскую версию английского.

6 Minute English

Подкаст «6 Minute English» — это диалог между двумя ведущими. На протяжении 6 минут они обсуждают какую-то важную социальную проблему (быстрое и неразумное потребление, интернет-поколение, цикличная экономика и так далее).

Наполнение подкаста позволяет слушателю не только расширить словарный запас, но и научиться применять в жизни специфические и сленговые выражения.

Аудио короткое, но динамичное. Ведущие ведут дискуссию так, чтобы вы могли услышать самые популярные и полярные мнения на рассматриваемую тему. В качестве аргументов приводятся статистика, факты, цитаты.

Подксаст так же доступе на: Itunes, Spotify, официальном сайте.

The English We Speak

Подкаст «The English We Speak» — это уникальный формат изучения сленга. 2-е ведущих: Роб и Фифи, разыгрывают небольшую сценку и в процессе объясняют значение нового слова. В среднем подкаст длится 2-3 минуты.

Вы сможете точно понять значение слова либо выражения благодаря подсказкам ведущих. Начнёте воспринимать на слух английскую речь и будете учиться строить простейшие диалоги.

Ведущие также предлагают обратить внимание как на глобальные (зависимость от телефонов) так и на мелкие бытовые (еда за рабочим столом) проблемы и своевременно их решать.

Подксаст так же доступе на: YouTube, Spotify, официальном сайте.

Luke’s ENGLISH Podcast — Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Интересной изюминкой являются гости подкастов. В основном помогают Люку его же родственники и друзья. Они долго дискутируют в формате дружеской беседы на абсолютно разные темы.

Иногда Люк проводит подкаст по сценарию, другая часть эпизодов абсолютная импровизация. В дополнение к основному материалу Томсон выпускает небольшой грамматический блок с фазовыми глаголами.

Song: Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun

Lyrics

When I walk beside her, I am the better man
When I look to leave her, I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower so I could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free, she took me in again

[Chorus:]
There’s a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet
When I see her bitter charm, she just throws it back again
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back again

When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side
When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands

Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
Bound down and threw away the hours of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights and it’s still coming down on me

7 Reasons Why Podcasts Are Changing the Way We Learn English

Imagine practicing your English for an extra 5-10 hours every week without ever taking any extra time out of your busy day.

Imagine if you could easily practice your English while you’re stuck in traffic, on the bus, cooking, cleaning, or while you’re waiting in line at market or bank.

Podcasting makes all this and more possible.

If you haven’t discovered the magical world of podcasts, you’re missing out. Podcasting is becoming more and more popular. According to smallbiztrends.com..

“The U.S. podcasting audience is ballooning [expanding quickly], and eMarketer projects that growth will continue at least through 2013. By then, there will be 37.6 million people [in the U.S.] who download podcasts monthly, more than double the 2008 figure of 17.4 million. As a percentage of Internet users, podcast downloaders are expected to grow from 9% in 2008 to 17% in 2013.”

The world is falling in love with podcasts. Are you? If you haven’t yet jumped into the magical world of podcasts, here’s 7 reasons why podcasts will change the way you learn English:

1. Learn English Anytime and Anywhere

As long as you have an mp3 player, you can learn English whenever and wherever you want. Unlike the radio or television, YOU choose when you want to listen to the programs.

2. Learning Through Podcasts Takes No Extra Time

Unlike reading books, you can listen to podcasts while you’re normally doing boring activities like driving to work/school, washing dishes, standing in line at the market, or exercising.

3. Podcasts Are Free

Every single podcast in the iTunes store is free. What can be better than free? For many ESL podcasts, you’ll need to pay to read the transcripts, but the audio is always free.

4. The Best Way to Improve Your Listening Comprehension

If you want to improve your listening skills, you need to listen to English! Podcasts are like a radio show, and if you find the right ones, you’ll soon become addicted.

There’s no better way to practice your listening comprehension than being super excited to listen to the next podcast of your favorite English speakers.

Don’t worry if you can’t understand everything that’s being said. If you’re actively listening, you’re going to learn a lot. The important thing is to try and understand the general idea of what is being talked about. If you have any trouble you can always….

5. Rewind, Re-listen, or Slow Down the Speed

Podcasts make it easy to be a self-directed learner. If you didn’t understand something you can rewind a few seconds and listen to it again.

Or you can listen to the entire podcast again to deepen your understanding. And if they’re speaking too fast, you can slow down the podcast to ½ speed.

6. It’s So Easy and Convenient

Unlike radio and TV, you don’t have to remember what time your favorite show comes on and make sure you’re available. Also, it’s easy to avoid shows you don’t like, and simple to listen to the ones you do. (If you like a podcast, click subscribe and you’ll automatically download new episodes.)

It may take a little time to get accustomed to the iTunes store, but once you do it’s simple.

7. Listen to Anything You Want

One of the huge benefits of listening to podcasts in English is that are MILLIONS of podcasts to choose from (other languages are far behind—even more uneven than the fact that 52% of the websites in the world are in English).

Any topic you’re interested in you can find lots of good podcasts: travel, music, relationships, food & cooking, sports & hobbies, news & entertainment, business, self-development, health & fitness, history, philosophy or science.

As you can see, podcasts are convenient, easy, and free. You can listen to what you want, when you want, where you want.

However, just like there are hundreds of TV shows, you probably won’t want to watch most of them. But when you find the one you do like, you can easily fall in love. It’s the same thing with podcasts.

If you listen to a few podcasts you don’t like, don’t give up [don’t quit]. Be sure to listen to good number of podcasts before deciding it’s not for you.

Resources

If you want to listen to ESL podcasts I have two recommendations.

If you want to listen to non-ESL podcasts, you really just have to search for what you’re interested in. Depending on what you’re interested in, you could love a business podcasts I don’t really like, or I could love a self-development podcast you think is annoying.

To really take advantage of podcasts, you need to be able to find podcasts by yourself. Just give a quick search in iTunes, read the description, read some reviews and give a few podcasts a try! For more information on how to find podcasts click here.

Podcasts: The Future of Learning

Imagine if you could add 10 hours of studying English every week without adding any extra time to your day.

With podcasts you can.

If you don’t know what a podcast is, check out the article What is a Podcast and Why You Should Care.

These days, as business gets more and more competitive, you need to find ways to stay on top. You need to be learning constantly.

Podcasts are not only going to help you deepen your understanding about many parts of you life, but you’ll be improving your English at the same time! What more could you ask for?

Podcasts are a relatively new thing in the English speaking world, but they’ve been exploding in popularity. And for good reason, too.

Podcasts are free, they’re full of great information, they can be entertaining and funny, and you can listen to them while you’re doing stuff you normally do.

There’s no reason not to be listening to podcasts while you go about your daily life.

Your English will improve much faster, and you’ll be learning a lot more about yourself and the world.

Podcasts are one of the most amazing inventions of the 21st century

These days we spend so much time stuck in traffic, taking the bus, buying groceries, cooking, eating, cleaning, walking the dog, running errands and just standing in line for whatever.

If you add up all the time you spend doing these activities that you have to do to survive every week, if you’re like me, you would easily count over 10 hours.

What podcasts allow you to do is to be LEARNING while you do brainless activities like the ones mentioned above. (Find out more why podcasts are the Lazy Man’s Way to Learn English.)

Depending on what you have to do for work, you may find you can attentively listen to podcasts WHILE working.

Listening to podcasts accelerates your development.

Podcasts are the new way of learning

With podcasts, you can learn anytime, anywhere. You can even listen to them while multi-tasking.

Imagine how much better your English would be if you were studying an extra 10 hours a week.

Even if you don’t understand everything that’s being said in the podcast, it doesn’t matter. You’re still going to be learning A LOT.

If you’re listening to native English speakers talking for 10+ hours a week, your comprehension ability is going to skyrocket [go up really fast].

Podcasts are the new thing in the English speaking world. Unfortunately they’re not very common in other languages yet.

However, you can still take advantage of the wonderful opportunity and start listening to the immense amount of podcasts.

Where to start? ESL Podcasts

First, start with the Real Life English ESL Podcasts. Every Sunday, Chad and I release a new podcast where we talk about five new expressions plus listener questions and a quick tip to help you improve your English.

These ESL podcasts are perfect for non-native speakers because we talk like we do in real life, this is not scripted like so many other ESL “podcasts.”

Chad and I talk like we normally would, and anytime we say a word or expression that we think our listeners might not know, we define it for you.

We also give you a list of words to know before you listen to the podcast so you’re better prepared to understand what we’re talking about.

If you guys know of any other great ESL podcasts, please post them in the comments.

Lifestyle Podcasts

One of the great things about English is the immense amount of information out there.

You can learn just about anything in English from podcasts in English.

All you have to do is go to iTunes and search for whatever you’re interested in (click here for more information).

Whether it’s running, personal development, sports, business, travel, philosophy, or cats, you’ll be sure to find a podcast about whatever you’re passionate about.

If you have any great podcasts you think people would be interested in, please share them in the comments.

Don’t Understand Native Speakers?

If the people are talking too fast, you can download the podcast through iTunes to your iThing/mp3 player and play the podcast on ½ speed.

You can then listen to it once or twice on slow, then try to listen to it again on normal speed. (If you really want to test your English comprehension skills, try listening to a podcast on 2x speed. Good luck!)

Remember, you don’t need to understand everything that’s being said to be learning. Even if you understand nothing, your brain is going to be subconsciously learning the different sounds, tones, and the pronunciation of native English speakers.

However, if the podcast has a transcript, you can read along while listening to the podcast. Or, you can read the transcript first and understand it the best you can with the help of Google Translate. Then when you listen to the podcast in your car, you’ll have a much easier time understanding it.

How Podcasts Will Change Your Life

You get off of work at 5pm and start the 30 minute drive home. If there wasn’t any traffic, you could be home in 10 minutes.

After doing your best not to get frustrated about driving so slowly, you stop at the market to get some food for dinner.

You gather some food and other items and approach the checkout only to find a big ass line.

You impatiently wait in line, getting angry at the cash register lady for not being as efficient as she could be.

As you get back in your car, you notice you wasted 20 minutes in the store.

You get home and your stomach is growling, so you start cooking dinner. After another 30 minutes of preparation, you finally sit down to eat.

After you’re done eating you clean up after yourself and get ready to take a hot shower.

As you get out of the shower, you look at the clock, 7:03. It’s been nearly two hours since you’ve gotten off work. And what do you have to show for it? A full stomach and a clean body.

Now imagine how much different your experience would’ve been if you were listening to podcasts that whole time.

Podcasts have this magical ability to make time go by much faster when doing boring stuff.

And because you’re being actively engaged by podcasts, you don’t get as upset whenever something inconveniences you.

Oh there’s traffic? No problem, I get to listen to another podcast then.

Oh there’s a line at the store? No worries, I’m learning while I wait.

I’m willing to bet that you could listen to at least 10 hours of podcasts or other audio content every week without adding any extra time to your day.

That means every week you could be listening to 10 college lectures. (Yes, you can find college lecture podcasts on just about anything on iTunes.)

How much smarter would you be if you listened to 10 hours of college lectures every week?

Podcasts come in all shapes and sizes. You’re sure to be able to find many that you’ll fall in love with, just like the rest of the world is starting to.

So what are you waiting for?

What is a Podcast and Why You Should Care

Hey guys, wake up to the PODCAST REVOLUTION!

It´s changing the way people think and share information all around the world, but most Brazilians have never even heard about this wonderful technology that can change your life. Today is your chance.

Let’s talk about podcasts. As previously discussed in the RealLife Lifestyle English Guide, podcasts are becoming more and more important. So what is a podcast?

A podcast is a (relatively) new form of digital media that is revolutionizing both how we consume information AND the quality and diversity of the information we accept. The “pod sphere” is the term used to describe worldwide depository of podcasts.

Today I’m going to show you how to discover this rich and abundant source of free information in just a few clicks, not only to enrich your life with better information, but also to help you improve your English.

Today we’re going to explore the following issues:

So First of All, What is a Podcast?

Podcasts are free, downloadable audio (sometimes video) programs, containing new and interesting information about anything you can imagine. They are created by specialists in their fields, in addition to entertainers, journalists, and even big media outlets. A podcast is like a radio program, but you can download it from anywhere in the world. There are millions of programs to choose from, which you subscribe to, put on your MP3 player, and listen to whenever you want, wherever you want, and with basically no commercials. The point is that you are in complete control of your learning experience.

FOUR TYPES OF PODCASTS (Recommendations can be found at the end of this article)

My Experience with Podcasts

I’ve been listening to podcasts about 3 years now. I listen to podcasts a lot. I like the idea of being in control of the media I consume and mixing it up so I get a balanced diet of information. You will never get that in the traditional mass media. In a world where the rich control your information, with 99% of the mass media in the hands of a small handful of really powerful people, I really need a rich variety of news sources to form my worldview.

I live in Brazil, and I listen to them every day, in both English and Portuguese. I listen to podcasts about self-development, spirituality, the news from the United States, Portuguese learning and Brazilian music and culture podcasts. I use podcasts to teach English and I encourage my students to listen to them every day. It helps A LOT!

When and Where to Listen to Them

First of all, this is a very personal decision, but I can tell you, based upon my own experience, that there are spaces in my day where podcasts are very convenient. I rarely sit and listen to podcasts at home. So as not to waste time, I’m always doing something else. I’m always looking for these moments.

I listen to them on my mp3 player while I run, while on the bus, at home while I’m getting ready in the morning, ironing clothes, cooking and even when I’m cleaning the house. I sometime put them on my alarm clock so I can listen to them for a few minutes before finding the courage to get out of bed (this is an important practice to activate my Portuguese).

For English learners, it’s important to develop convenient, painless and playful contact you have with English on a daily basis. Let me put your English habits this way:

CONVENIENT + PAINLESS + PLAYFUL + EVERY DAY = BIG IMPROVEMENTS

(improvements that accumulate after a few months)

Think of it like putting your change every day into a savings account that accrues interest. It doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but over the months and years, it accumulates, gains interest, and a few months down the road, you realize that it’s pretty substantial. With consistent, relaxed, daily contact, your English will drastically improve over the months and years. Fifteen to twenty minutes a day is what I recommend. Like anything in life, you won’t notice improvements if you aren’t consistent.

A very convenient moment to listen is when you are in your car or on the bus. If you listen in your car and don’t have a very modern stereo system, you might need to figure out a way. This might take some investigation, maybe an investment in a better stereo system, but you can also purchase small portable speakers for really cheap.

How to Download Podcasts

iTunes (Apple/ Mac)

It’s actually quite simple. Itunes is probably the best program you can find to download podcasts. lthough it’s not necessary, itunes makes things a lot easier. Itunes is a free music program that enables you to surf the “pod sphere” and subscribe to your favorite podcasts. Here’s a quick guide.

You can find RealLife English on iTunes here (and download the App).

itunes/ podcasts with apple products (iphone/ ipod/ ipad)

The synchronization of podcasts to your ipod/ phone or ipad is much easier than other MP3 players. This alone is a great reason to consider investing in an ipod, iphone or ipad. If you don’t have the cash or are not convinced, don’t worry because with a little initiative you can listen to the same stuff without all the fancy equipment.

itunes without apple products (any other MP3 player)

itunes is still an extremely useful program even if you don’t have an ipod, iphone or ipad. It just takes a few more steps to put them on your non-apple MP3 player. Instead of easy synchronization from the program to your ipod MP3 player, you have to search for and find the folder that your podcasts are stored in, and then manually put them on your MP3 player. Look for the “itunes” folder on your computer and find where your music/ podcasts are stored.

To be fair, itunes isn’t the only program out there to navigate through the jungle of podcasts, but it is what a lot of people consider the best.

Stitcher (Android Phones)

If you have an android phone, there are plenty of podcast apps out there but we recommend Stitcher.

You can find RealLife English on Stitcher here (and download the App).

Get the BEST Experience from Learning English by Podcast

Podcasts are an amazing resource for learning English wherever you go. All you need is an MP3 player. If you don’t have an MP3 player, it’s one of the BEST investments you can make for your English.

If you’ve never used podcasts to improve your English, or you don’t know what a podcast is, then you’re missing out! Read this article first.

Podcasts are completely FREE and are booming (exploding) in popularity. And other than being an amazing source of fascinating, cutting edge (very new) information, they are also one of the absolute best ways to learn a language or to improve your current skills.

Podcasts are also one of the most convenient ways to practice and improve your English, but you can learn more about that here.

In this article, I want to focus on finding the best podcasts for your personal learning experience.

The simple way to learn English: Find the right podcast for you

There are SO many ESL and English podcasts out there. How do I possibly choose one?

I am new to using podcasts myself, and I recently started learning French largely by podcast. I have found them to be invaluable because of the convenience and the opportunity to hear native French speakers–even as I’m walking down the street in Brazil.

But I went through a process finding which podcasts I wanted to listen to in French because there are tons of choices.

The best method for finding a great podcast

There are two simple strategies you can use to find the best podcasts for you.

The RealLife English Podcast is a brilliant place to start, as there are new episodes every week that teach you valuable English expressions and give you other tips for learning, while you have a fun experience with Trevor and Chad.

How I found the right French podcasts for me

1. I searched on Google: “best podcasts for learning French.”

You can either search in your own language, if you want a more basic podcast that teaches you in your mother tongue. Or you can search in English (“best ESL podcasts,” “best podcasts for learning English,” or “top ten ESL podcasts”). Get creative!

I found a few good podcasts by doing this, which set me up with a good base in French. I quickly consumed all the episodes I could while on the bus, walking in between classes, or cooking. So I needed more!

2. I searched on iTunes.

In the store, I just searched “French” and scrolled down to the podcast section. There I found more than I could possibly choose from.

The titles can tell you a lot about the podcast. Is it just basic language skills? Is it conversational practice? Is it on music? Or news?

You can choose some that sound interesting and then click on “Ratings and Reviews” to see how popular and successful it is. If it has a large amount of positive reviews, then it’s a great option to start with.

I downloaded the first couple episodes of several different podcasts. This is crucial. Don’t just choose one or two. Choose a bunch, at least five or six.

Find a podcast whose hosts you relate to and that you find entertaining. The more fun you have learning, the faster you’ll progress!

I found podcasts in French that had good content, but I just didn’t like the host’s personality. And also some that had a host I related to, but the material was boring.

I ended up choosing one that teaches situational French (at the market, at the hotel, etc.), which is practical for traveling. And another podcast that talks about French music, which gives me a cultural introspective.

3. Don’t be afraid of podcasts that are completely in English (or in any other language you’re learning).

Just because you don’t understand everything, that doesn’t mean that you’re not learning. In fact, it’s the opposite. The more you get used to being immersed in the language, the better you’ll become.

I’m still searching for other great podcasts in French that will keep learning innovative. Why not one on business? Or one on French history?

The main aim of the podcast doesn’t have to be for learning the language. You can get podcasts in English that cover virtually ANY topic. The possibilities are endless. And as your skills progress, you can learn more and more.

If you can’t travel, well you’ll just have to immerse yourself at home.

Play with the language, and have fun!

Take your English classroom anywhere

Podcasts are an amazing resource for learning. You can learn English anywhere without spending any extra time doing it. You don’t need to pay for classes (even though a private teacher can be great) and you don’t need to go to a school.

You never need to get frustrated waiting in line or angry at traffic again. Fill these convenient moments with learning. Take your English classroom with you.

You don’t need to commit extra time to study English

So, if you’re not already using podcasts to improve your English, then get an MP3 Player, download iTunes, and experiment with different podcasts. You can take your English to the next level.

Song: Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun

This is really a great idea. Thanks folks

Aww yeah Zakia, thanks so much for your support!

HI guys! It’s me again)
I’ve seen the movie “Into the Wild”, this particular movie touched me because I was watching it at the same age as its main character, so I felt almost the same (not exactly, but still). I understood him entirely because I was ready to the same crazy stuff, I was lost in some sense and I didn’t know what to do in my life. All I wanted was to explore the world, not to live an ordinary live with hated job and so on. Although I didn’t have the same problems in family like him, but I had mine, so I understood him very well. That was maybe the first time when I realized that people are generally the same, we all have common desires and problems, even though we live in different countries or even cultures. Since then, I increasingly notice that difference is too small to focus on it, instead I prefer to find common features between people.

And yeah, direct download link actually leads to podcast 167, not to 168.

It’s a great podcast. I learned many things. Thank you very much for your effort.

hi can you add transcript

No need for that actually. You can watch youtube version of the podcast with subtitles, so…

I read this book exactly because of your recommendation actually and I have something to add in terms of applying these habits from the book. I don’t want to belittle the value of this book, but for me, it’s kind of a paradox, so to speak, that for people who actually already know these things and apply them in their lives this book will be super obvious and they won’t find there so much new or exciting, but on the other hand, for those people who don’t apply these things yet ant want to be effective it will be not so easy to apply them. I’m saying that because I know a lot of people, for example, who aware of that principles, but guess what? Right, they continue doing what they’re doing)
Incredible, simply incredible how it can be true, but it is truth. You tell them that they have to carefully listen first, and only then to reply (something related to the topic, of course), but no, they just say what they wanted to say initially, without trying to understand another person. This is ridiculous, but that’s just the way it is)
At the end, I want to say one more thing: it doen’t matter if you’ll find this book mega-useful in terms of self-improvment or not, but it is certainly useful for your English learning journey, that’s for sure.

Hey Andrew, thanks for your response and engagement! Yeah, each to their own. The right book finds us at the right time, and sometimes it’s not the right book. But for me I’ve read it 5 times and I extract something new every time. If not new knowledge and perspective, for sure I need to deepen my application of it!
