The Level Up English Podcast Michael Lavers

I share some of my opinions on debate questions provided to me by Chat GPT, ranging from general opinions to deeper more philosophical ones. While doing so, I share some useful vocabulary as well as phrases you can use to express your own opinions when debating or arguing.

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.

In Episode 255, we spoke about Linking.
In Episode 262, we spoke about Elision.

Now, in Episode 266, we're talking all about Assimilation. 

This is the 3rd and final part in our connected speech series, where I look at how spoken English can change the pronunciation of certain words. If you want to speak with a natural British accent, then this is essential to know. 

In this episode, I'll be looking at times when the sounds of words change so they become easier to pronounce. I'll be doing this while answering questions and sharing my views on them, and I invite you to join in as well.

Acronyms are words that use the first letter of each word in a phrase. NASA and LOL are two common examples from very different areas.

In the age of the internet, acronyms are now a part of everyday writing and reading, but did you know some are also used in speech?

In this episode, I go through some really common everyday acronyms that you need to know and follow each one with an example from my own life.

I also end with a list of some more casual texting acronyms that are useful when casually writing to friends.

In this episode, Clare from the Smart English Coach podcast joins us for a fun chat about confidence, limiting beliefs, and language learning. We explore how confidence is so important in language learning and the steps you can take to improve this skill.

We also cover interesting stories from our own language-learning experiences and answer the question of whether you can be too old to learn a language. We touched on so many great topics today and I know you'll get something motivational out of this conversation.
