Little Seal English Ronan

Hey Pals,
This episode of the podcast focuses on talking about different tv shows, the good and bad!
Towards the end of the podcast, I also show you how to use ChatGPT to learn how to talk about tv shows in a deeper way!
Here are some ways we talk about tv shows in English:
Go downhill (fast/quickly/rapidly/suddenly)
That tv show went quickly downhill after the first season.
Become predictable
The Blacklist was incredibly predictable, no surprises in that one after a while.
To fizzle out/to peter out
That show was very good for three seasons, but then it began to fizzle out and gradually became less and less good or even popular.
Talk about writers/writing
The writers gave up
The writing was fantastic
The writers woke up and decided to smoke crack
To milk
They milked that story for way too long! That show should have ended years ago.
Talk about the different seasons
That show should have ended three seasons ago
That show went on X seasons too many.
Great (first/second/third/etc.) season
A cult classic
A cult classic movie is a movie that gains a dedicated and passionate fanbase over time, despite not necessarily being a mainstream success upon its initial release.
Binge-worthy
That show is binge-worthy, you won’t regret it.
Tug at your heartstrings
Scrubs is a fantastic comedy show that also pulls at your heartstrings.
A guilty pleasure
My guilty pleasure was Grays Anatomy, don’t tell anyone.
I hope you enjoy,
Ronan

Good morning you beautiful English learners, my name is Ronan and my plan is to:
Empower you to speak EnglishBoost your confidence when speakingHelp you understand high level, natural, fluent English
I am so excited to share this podcast with you because it's the first of a long journey I am embarking on. Basically, let me introduce you to the The Chats!
What is The Chats?
This is my way of really helping advanced English learners have motivation, structure, and guidance when learning or practicing English. In fact, I see myself more of a facilitator of learning rather than a teacher in this case.
How does it work?
We get together every two weeks and have The Chats about a topic. Next week, we are talking about a Ted Talk Why Rivers and Lakes Should Have the Same Rights as Humans.
We hop on Zoom, we shoot the breeze, I send notes, we all learn something and probably laugh. Our conversations meander from one topic to another and rarely stay on course, but the one thing they are guaranteed to do, help you perfect your perfect English!
How do I join?
Hit the link in the description, click here, or at the very least just download the workbook for this podcast and enjoy!
Anyways, i am going to prepare some cool materials to help you learn English.
Chat soon,
Ronan

Hey!
Last week I told you about the incident with my landlord and turning off the water mid shower, I was not one bit happy. Anyway, I went and spoke to my landlord about this issue and he explained how it was out of his control. Rather than kicking up a fuss, I gave him the benefit of the doubt....
And that is what inspired this podcast about the beautiful idiom: To give the benefit of the doubt.
Sit back, relax, listen and learn my friends!

Good morning you beautiful Little Seals,
This very short, unplanned, off the cuff, impromptu podcast was inspired by a run in I had yesterday with a very sharp detective. Okay, so the first 20 or so minutes is random, after that I start to teach vocabulary. Basically, this story is broke into two parts, the first part is the story and the second part is the vocabulary.
Some Key English
ObliviousCluelessIn my own worldJust because I am…., does not mean…BlindersGet the picture/messageI had no interest in…Wake up and decide to…Rub the wrong wayA short answerNo shit SherlockAgenda (have an agenda)BibleBible-basher
Now, I’m off to catch the bus and read my book hopefully in peace!
Later,
Ronan
