This podcast is all about helping you improve your English use, confidence, and success and that is especially the goal for this week's episode about the dentist. Today's conversation will help you live in English a little easier, and help you visit a dentist office in an English speaking country. Dan and Jennifer talk about some of their own experiences at the dentist, what to expect in the US and UK (pretty big differences!), and share some very helpful vocabulary naturally in conversation. Our language focus will go into more specifics, explaining the difference between I've got and I have in English as well as common questions and answers needed at the dentist.

108 - Motivation Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

Motivation is the reason we do what we do: if your health is important to you then you’ll be motivated to eat a balanced diet and if you want to be fit then you will be motivated to go running, join the gym or stop smoking. And, of course, if you want to pass an exam, travel the world or get a better job, you’ll be motivated to learn English! Listen to your podcast hosts Jennifer and Dan talk about what motivates them and the advice they offer to you about studying more effectively, dear listener and English student. After the chat, the language focus is all about two words that even native speakers get confused. Enjoy!

Happy belated "birthday", America! A couple of days ago was July 4th, and this is the day that many Americans celebrate Independence day. While we've already talked about the 4th on past English Across the Pond episodes, today we're going into specifics of the celebration. No 4th of July is complete without some fireworks, and this episode will talk all about Jennifer and Dan's thoughts and experiences with fireworks. Speaking of experience, our language focus goes into details about how to use the present perfect to talk about experiences in English, so stick around and review this incredibly common grammar point after today's conversation.
