Today we have a quote!
“Holding back is so close to stealing.” – Neil Young
To hold back means to withhold or to not do something or to not give something.
This episode is about taking chances in our lives.
You may feel like you can’t be yourself in English.
Maybe you are funny in your native language but you don’t know how to be funny in English so you hold back.
But if you do that then you are “stealing” from the moment as this quote says.
What do you think?
When have you erred on the side of perfection and protection by protecting yourself and when have you erred on the side of connection by taking a chance?

Do you think it’s important to obsess over something to become successful at it?
Another way to say it is ” to have tunnel vision.”
Another word for obsession could be “focus” but it has more of a positive connotation.
When we get really focused we have to be careful of burnout.
We could get exhausted.
When it comes to learning English you should chunk down the learning into bite-sized pieces and be sure that you are learning in a way that is fun for you.

Do you know how to naturally talk about what you want in English?
Native speakers use the verb “to want” in the past tense when we are making a request in the present tense.
For example, you might call a colleague and say ” I wanted to confirm our lunch appointment for today.”
This makes the message a bit more polite and more indirect.
We think it’s also used more commonly for women.Come back to our site for more information

English acronyms are fun and easy when it comes text messaging and emailing but you need to know what impression you give the person when you use them!
Today we’ll show you some common English acronyms and what impression they create. We’ll also give you some alternatives.
Here are some common acronyms in English when we send text messages:LOL (“Laughing out loud”)- A lot of people get annoyed by this one. This could be used in a text message. A good alternative is “haha”
TTYL (“Talk to you later”)- This one also sounds really young. A more mature alternative is “talk soon” or “talk to you soon” or actually writing out “talk to you later”
SMH (“Shaking My Head”)- This is a newer acronym. You can use this when you disapprove of something that someone has done.
OMG: (“Oh my gosh”)- This can also be annoying. Other options are: “Oh wow” or “I can’t believe it.”
Which acronyms have you used?

Today we have our dating consultant, Jessica Coyle, back on the show!
Today Jessica is back to talk about the concept of chemistry in dating in urban US culture.
Jessica is going to tell us how to know if we actually have chemistry with someone.
Chemistry: A magnetic pull between two people where you seem to understand the other person and something is different about that person to you.
Two different types of chemistry: Lees meerSlow burn chemistry: You start out as friends and then chemistry and attraction gradually builds over time. Features of the other person that seemed strange or unattractive initially start to become endearing and attractive.
Quick chemistry/limerance: This is more of an infatuation. Jessica thinks that online dating and set ups reward this type of attraction. These connections can be really intense at first and then can fizzle out and not end well. At the same time, sometimes these attractions can work in the long run.
What about in your culture?
What are your deal breakers when it comes to dating?
In your culture, how much influence do your parents and family have when it comes to your choice of a partner?Here are some dating vocabulary words that we talked about today:
Limerance
Lukewarm feelings
Slow burn chemistry
Quirks (personality and physical)
Deal breakers
Red Flag

AEE 302: Why Just Speaking May NOT Be the Best Route to Fluency in English

Get our FREE IELTS Cheat Sheet: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation Lees meerToday we have a special guest on the show!
Our guest will challenge your assumption that SPEAKING is the most important part of learning English.
Julian sees learning languages as a simple, two-step process:
Step 1: Learn the language that we need for our specific situation
Step 1: Apply the language and use itJulian’s 3 Tips- How to Keep it Practical:
Try to do many different kinds of things in the language: English is a process. Spend time with it. You can’t HAVE it. You can’t GET it. You need to constantly maintain it. Julian says that there is no difference between “experiencing” the language and “learning” the language, as far as your brain is concerned. By experiencing the language in many different ways, we can acquire chunks of English which will help us to sound more native-like. You should try to encounter the language through reading, speaking, listening, writing, etc. Get a more well-rounded experience of the language instead of just focusing on speaking.Try to get a balance between intensive activity and relaxed exposure: Some of your work should be deliberate, focused, practical, intensive study. At the same time, some of your work should be a more relaxed encounter with the language. You need to take it in in a way that is enjoyable and easy. You could try listening to music in the language or watching TV. The key is getting a balance between the two forms of learning.
Focus on things which are useful to YOU: Exclude things that aren’t useful to you. Don’t bother to learn things that you won’t need to use. According to Julian, we don’t become fluent in English. We become fluent in specific topics such as cooking, law, politics, art, etc. Choose your focus and pursue English in that area. Drop the idea of becoming “fluent” in English in general.

AEE 301: Why Forgiving Puts You On Top
9 april 2015 · 14 min
Get our IELTS CHEAT SHEET HERE: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation Lees meer
Most people think that forgiveness is weakness but today we’ll challenge your perspective with an awesome quote!
Do you have any enemies?
Do you have any “frenemies”?
Here is today’s quote for a Deep Thoughts Thursday: “Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much.”
– Oscar WildeWhat does this quote mean?
This quote is somewhat “cheeky” and it says that if we want to annoy our enemies even more, we can forgive them.
Also, the quote is telling us that it’s better for us to forgive.
It helps us lead healthier lives.
When you have an enemy you carry a lot of negative energy around and it takes up space in your body and in your brain.According to Mayoclinic.org, the benefits of forgiveness include:
Stronger immune system
Less anxiety
Lower blood pressure
A few great vocabulary words from today’s episode:
Frenemy: “Friend” + “enemy”= someone that you care about and you are there for them but you can’t get along with them on an everyday basis and many things about that person bother you.
To hold a grudge: You keep thinking about something that someone did to you, you hold on to your anger. You don’t move on.
Do you have someone to forgive?
What is holding you back from forgiving that person?

Check out her blog here!When you meet someone for the first time in English, whether it’s a date or just a first-time meeting with a friend or colleague, there are certain topics that you should NEVER discuss.
Today you’ll find out what they are with our favorite AEE dating consultant, Jessica Coyle.
A few weeks ago we talked about what four things you SHOULD talk about on a first date in English or at a first meeting but today we’ll show you what you should avoid.4 Topics to AVOID on a first date or first meeting in English:
Politics: You can casually mention your political interests but don’t get drawn into a political debate or discussion. Jessica calls this “quicksand” because you can start to sink and you’ll get stuck and you won’t be able to get out of it. It’s better to bring up this topic once you already know someone well and after you know their triggers well.
Age: You should definitely avoid asking the person their exact age. Also, this means that you should not ask people about their timeline in terms of when they want to get married or have kids. It’s too direct and too intense for a first date or first conversation. You might terrify the person if start asking these questions too early.
Religion: You probably have a rough idea of your date’s religion and it will be important later but it’s too personal to get into during a first date. It’s ok to share your own religion if you want to but don’t ask the person directly what their religion is.
Education: This is tricky. Jessica says that the goal in not asking this question is to avoid coming off as arrogant or judgmental. If you …

AEE 296: Never Get to Speak English? How to Solve Your Problem Now
1 april 2015 · 18 min
Do you feel like you never get a chance to speak English?
Even when you attend an English class or work with an English tutor do you leave the class feeling like you haven’t spoken at all?
If so, then you are not alone.
A lot of students feels this way.
Today we have a guest, Jason Newnum, who is an American English teacher.
He teaches on the italki platform and he is available for lessons now!
Jason has a special class called “Student Speaks, Teacher Listens.” Lees meerWhy did Jason create this class?
Jason created this class because when he took Spanish classes he noticed that he was not getting much speaking practice at all.
He felt discouraged and didn’t get much better.
He realized that the same problem was happening with English students.
Jason wants to solve this problem.Why is Jason’s class different?
He makes sure that students talk more, about 80% of the time
He feels comfortable being quiet, he doesn’t get nervous like other teachers do sometimes when they are nervous so he doesn’t fill that space with meaningless chatter
A typical class with Jason:
He asks you what’s new with you
He gives you a short article or video clip and asks for your opinion
He asks great follow-up questions- directly related to YOU and YOUR experiences
He writes out your mistakes in the Skype chat box so that you have a record of your mistakes
Jason’s Bio:
Jason Newnum teaches English as a second language, in Bariloche, Argentina, and lives there with his family. Although he received his university degree in Spanish and now lives in a Spanish speaking country, his Argentine wife speaks English and Spanish equally. So it’s difficult to force himself to practice Spanish, when it’s easier to speak English with his wife. So he understands the frustrations of having to force ourselves to practice a foreign language everyday.Do you have this problem with your English class?
Are you planning to try Jason’s class?
If so, let us know when you are going to get started with Jason.

Today is a Deep Thoughts Thursday and we have an inspiring quote for you!
Let’s talk about success.
Here is the quote:
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
-Winston Churchill
We can apply this quote to a lot of different aspects of our lives like learning English, dating, and our career paths.
We have to keep going and take on new challenges with a positive attitude even if we have failed many times in the past.
Try to avoid feeling bitter when you take on a challenge and try again.
What do you think about this quote?
Do you keep your heart open and stay enthusiastic when you try again with something?
