Show notes

Hello! If this is your first time listening to EATP then you’re in for a surprise - one of your hosts is from the UK while the other is from the US - wow! We are making the most of this English language cultural difference this week by comparing our two cultures. We look together at an article written by an American who has lived and worked in the UK and compare her experiences and views with our own - nice! After the chat, as always, there’s a language focus where we take a closer look at some of the vocabulary from today’s chat

283 - A Bad Day Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

A bad day is when everything seems to be going wrong, and you just want to throw your hands up in the air, screaming "I give up!" because clearly, the world is out to get you. We all have them from time to time and today your two English teacher hosts are describing theirs and (more importantly) what we can do when it seems like everyone and everything is against us.

Enjoy!

282 - Puns Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

Ready to have some pun… oops.. fun with this week’s episode? Sit back and practice your English vocabulary and pronunciation as you understand some jokes using word play that Jennifer and Dan share. You may bust up like we did (laugh hard) or scratch your head (be confused), but don’t worry this week is most essential to have our transcript and PDF to follow along with. Our members get extra support with pronunciation this week as well to practice linking, dropped sounds, and British and American English differences. You can sign up here if you don’t already get our episode PDFs: www.englishacrossthepond.com/membership

281 - What If? Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Hey dear Ponders! What if you could listen to a podcast, have fun and improve your English all at the same time? :-D

We’re doing a little second conditional practice this week by asking each other ‘What if …?’ questions. For example, What If You Had To Pick One Person To Be With Forever? What If You Were Given Three Wishes, What Would You Wish For? We had such a laugh recording this and we hope you’ll enjoy listening - you’ll be improving your English fluency at the same time, of course!

Enjoy!

280 - Goodbyes! Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Adios! Au Revoir! Auf Wiedersehen! Yes, this week we are saying goodbye … not forever, of course - don’t worry we’re not going to leave you! But we are talking about farewells and discussing some different and fun ways to end conversations which you can learn along with us. We’re also saying goodbye to our early bird (cheaper!) pricing for our course Step Up To Fluency so grab it now before it becomes more expensive.

Enjoy!
