    #272 Phrasal Verbs with 'Set'

    #272 Phrasal Verbs with 'Set'

    I'm back with another episode in the series on phrasal verbs. Today, we're looking at around 9 phrasal verbs that include the verb 'set'.

    It's a really common one to use and the meanings can get confusing, so I'm going to go through each one and explain the meaning, but also follow up with a story related to my life to give some context to help explain the phrasal verb.

    #271 A Terrifying Flying Experience

    #271 A Terrifying Flying Experience

    In this episode, I talk all about transportation. I know - it sounds a bit boring! But there's a lot to talk about.

    We'll be discussing my terrifying flight experience where it felt like we almost crashed, how to talk about different types of transport and commuting, and then we end with some super useful expressions that are related to transport.

    My goal is you'll end this episode with something new that you didn't know before.

    #270 What Will the Future Look Like?

    I go over some near and distant future predictions (as provided by Chat GPT) and share my views on how likely I think they are to happen.

    I'm a big fan of science fiction and wondering about how different things will be in the future, so I invite you to make predictions with me and use the new words I mention in this episode to practice your English.

    How accurate do you think I am?

    #268 The Best Way to Learn English with Fabio Cerpelloni

    #268 The Best Way to Learn English with Fabio Cerpelloni

    Fabio Cerpelloni chats with me on the podcast today around the topic of his new book: 'Any Language You Want: 18 Conflicting Lessons for a New Kind of Language Learner'.

    A collection of contradictory true personal stories in answer to "What's the best way to learn a language?" In each of the 18 chapters, Fabio -- a language learner and teacher -- shares a story about how he mastered English, his second language, and tells you what's the best way to learn another language.

    In this episode, we discuss some ways to learn English and why it's not as simple as you might think. I'm sure you'll leave, however, feeling inspired, motivated, and with some new ideas on how to best master this language.
