    110. The Hardest Thing In English

    Hi Thinkers! Join the waiting list for our NEW COURSE to overcome one of the hardest things in any foreign language. And what is it by the way? It's not tenses, not phrasal verbs not even slang. It's the informal table coversation with several people in a noisy place. Listen to this episode of the ToL podcast to find out more about fast conversations: what are they? how do they differ from 1-on-1s and why practicing one-on-one doesn't prepare you for a fast coversation.

    109. Anonymous Feedback: Is It More Honest?

    Hi Thinkers! This week we're talking about feedback and how does its quality correlate with anonymity. Are we giving more honest feedback when we're anonymous? We use the example of video games like the lastest DragonAge Veilguard from EA and the upcoming Kingdom Come Deliverance II from the WarHorse Studios to make our point. Other than that we talk about buying contact lenses, and the phrase "have a nice day". Why does it sound so natural in France and why is it strange in CEE? Listen to find out!

    108. Happy vs. Excited

    Hi Thinkers! Every now and then our conversation leads us into the world of emotions, and this week is a proof of it. Inspired a little by Harari we dive into the difference between happiness and excitement. Both concepts overlap significantly and it took us some effort to try and separate them. Listen also if you want to find out who Jedrek wanted to be as a teenager; during the conversation we mention the Beast Quest by Adam Blade and - as almost always - the Interstellar by Christopher Nolan ;) Our website: https://tolpodcast.com Practice fast conversations with us: https://studiomentals.com Support this show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/told Subscribeto our newsletter (every sunday morning in your mailbox): https://tolpodcast.substack.com/ Have a beautiful day!

    107. Harris or Trump? Whom to trust?

    Hi Thinkers! One week before the most important elections of the year which are going to decide about the fate of our planet 🤪: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump?

    106. We want to change the world

    Hi Thinkers! This week we are two English teachers who... want to change the world! Masha opened a real pandora box with her comment and so we went talking about the state of the world, capitalism, how everything is business today, about the need of moderation without degrowth, about selling yourself and so on. We mention Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. What a rant in short ;) Our website is ⁠https://tolpodcast.com⁠ Book conversation courses with us at: ⁠https://studiomentals.com⁠ Support this show here: ⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/told⁠ Have a beautiful day!
