#296 Be More Curious Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

Curiosity is an important thing to practice to be better English language learners and enjoy your life more.
When we start learning a language, we’re naturally very open and curious to learning new things. It can be an amazing feeling when you’re really into something and you’re looking up every little detail.
However, along the way, we naturally get more complacent and we begin to take things for granted. This curiosity fades into daily habits and routines.
Curiosity makes language learning so much more enjoyable more also helps you progress faster. That’s the idea behind today’s episode.

This is a really fun episode all about the recent progress of AI (Artificial Intelligence) - specifically in the area of audio and music.
I share a few songs that were made by AI about this podcast that I think will blow your mind. I had a lot of fun with it.
I also share my thoughts on the future changes that AI will bring to the world, some jobs that will be lost and others that will be safe from AI and automation, and much more.

In today's episode, we're exploring the topics of optimism, pessimism, and realism. These are different attitudes towards life and the future and can have a massive impact on your happiness and mental health.

Paola from the Talaera Talks podcast and I are doing a cross-post episode today. You can also find this episode and many more over on their podcast.
The topic is all about jobs, careers, and business English expression. We start by asking questions to each other, using our own work experience to give examples of when to use these expressions.

#288 Reverse Culture Shock in the UK Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

I recently went back to my home country - the UK - for the first time in a quite a while and was fascinated by how the UK appeared to me after being away for a while.
There was a lot that I found strange, unusual, and interesting that I wasn't really aware of while I was still living in England.
In this episode, I discuss some of my feelings and culture shock experiences, and perhaps some of you can relate to these experiences when you visit the UK for the first time.

#287 I Took a Train from London to Romania Aug 28, 2024

Show notes

I just came back from a trip in Europe and I thought I'd get on the microphone today and review some of the good and bad experiences I had there.
I made the adventurous decision to travel from London all the way to Istanbul by train (listen to the episode to see why I didn't make it all the way!)
In this episode, I talk about my experience sleeping on trains, my time in each country, and why I suddenly changed my travel plans. There are also some useful expressions and vocabulary to help improve your English throughout.

This is a very casual, chatty episode, so hopefully you don't mind. You're always welcome to comment your feedback on the shownotes page (link below)
