179 - Gratitude Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

Hello and before we get into anything we must say… Thank You for tuning in this week!

This week is all about gratitude and we’ll talk a little bit about the science of it, what it is, how we express it, the benefits and more. We chose this topic because Thanksgiving is right around the corner in the US, and it’s a day about giving thanks.

Without further ado, let’s begin!

175 - Words We Mispronounce Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

“Highlo” ... I mean “Huhlo” ... errr … HELLO! :)

Pronunciation makes a big difference when it comes to speaking English (or any language) and being understood! This is why we’re focusing on pronunciation in this episode and making sure you’re not making some of the same mistakes that even native speakers make. We’re all human, and yes, mistakes happen, but let’s make sure you are prepared with the strongest pronunciation skills possible as you set off to speak English in the real world.

Enjoy!
