140 - Empathy Feb 21, 2019

Show notes

Hello dear Ponders,

Are you empathetic? Do people come to you for advice?

Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of other people, so if you are, the answer is probably, “yes people do often come to me for advice”

This week, we’re discussing this exciting topic, providing you with real native speaker conversation. After the chat, in our language focus, Dan talks about one of the major differences between British and American spelling, gives some examples and offers practical advice.

Love is in the air, can you feel it? Some of us are celebrating Valentine’s day, and yes, while it may be a “Hallmark” Holiday - it’s still a time that is filled with love and P A S S I O N. So, let’s talk about it! What is passion and what are you passionate about? Listen to this week’s episode to find out about our passions and let’s try and find some things in common.

137 - Regrets Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever done something that you know was a bad idea? Have you ever NOT done something that deep down, you know was a good idea? If the answer is “yes” to either of those, then, you have experienced a feeling of regret.

While no one wants to experience this feeling, we’re human - so we will have feelings of regret from time to time. What is regret? And more importantly for you, how do we talk about it in English? Luckily, we’ll support you with that this week in our newest conversation and podcast episode! Learn about regrets and how to express them in English while having some fun with us. Enjoy!

This week’s all about the British half of English Across The Pond - say hi to Dan! Find out where he’s lived around the world, his family, his Instagram account, where he’s just been on holiday, what he does in his free time AND rumours about his death :-D As you listen you’ll be improving your English and learning lots of natural and up to date expressions - nice!

Bonus Episode - Special Guest Jan 06, 2019

Show notes

A good friend of English Across The Pond, Sa’eed from Saudi Arabia, joins us for a special bonus episode. Sa’eed tells us how he was able to become so amazing at communicating in English and what he thinks the best thing is about being an English teacher.

The wi-fi signal wasn’t always the best and so it can be a little difficult to hear the conversation in places but we hope you enjoy this bonus episode :)
