In this episode of Easy Stories in English, host Ariel Goodbody discusses the concept of 'normal people problems' as opposed to more serious issues, drawing on his own experiences of moving to London and finding his community. Ariel reflects on his challenging past, including changing gender twice and dealing with identity crisis, while contrasting these with his current 'normal' problems such as itchy back due to hard water, adjusting to a slower pace in relationships, and struggling to find good cider in London. He also addresses the dynamics of friendship when one is thriving and the other is not, and invites listeners to share their own 'small fish' problems on the show's website and YouTube channel.

Love and Friendship in Your 30s (Conversation)
27 februari 2024 · 29 min
In this episode, I talk about my challenges finding stable friendship and love in London as a single in my 30s. I argue that technology has encouraged ghosting and 'no contact' culture, and because of this it's harder to form stable relationships and integrate into local communities. However, it's not all doom and gloom! I also talk about finding comfort in spending time with myself - taking myself out on dates - and focussing on slow, simple things like darning my socks.
The book I discuss in the episode is Conflict is Not Abuse by Sarah Schulman.

Bonus Episode: How Long Until I Get Fluent in English? with The Level Up English Podcast
31 oktober 2023 · 31 min
Today we have a bonus episode from The Level Up English Podcast with Michael Lavers, answering the question 'How long does it take to get fluent in English?'. Get the transcript here: https://www.levelupenglish.school/podcast213/
Here are the key lessons from the episode: Lees meerThere is no “100%” in language learning
It’s not easy to set specific in language learning
Students often reach a level of fluency before they realise it
There are many factors that affect learning speed (focus, your mind, your free time, etc)
If you focus on “when” and “how long”, you will never enjoy the journey.
If you don’t enjoy the process of learning, you will probably learn more slowly.
The process of learning is always much longer than the achievement of having learnt something. Focus on enjoying the longer one, because that is your life.

Hello everyone! It’s me, Ariel Goodbody, here with an exciting announcement.
You’ve probably noticed that there are advertisements during episodes of the podcast now, and if you’re paying close attention, you will have seen that I’m not making new content on Patreon anymore.
That’s because I’m starting Easy Stories in English Premium. Easy Stories in English Premium is a way to get all the episodes of the podcast without adverts, as well as bonus episodes from me.
So why have I decided to do this? Well, having adverts on the podcast helps me do things like buy food and clothes, which I hear are quite important. But I understand that not everyone wants to hear adverts, and many people prefer to support in a more direct way. Also, it lets me give you all something ‘extra special’ – that’s what premium means, by the way, ‘extra special’. The bonus episodes are my way of saying thank you for supporting me.
And I’m really excited about these new episodes. At the moment, I’m working on an episode about a recent holiday I took in Cornwall, and I interview my girlfriend Artoria as part of it. I also want to talk to you, my listeners, and record the conversations. So if you think you’ve got a star inside you, or you’d just enjoy having a chat with me on Zoom, this is your opportunity.
On Patreon, I experimented with all kinds of bonus content, but it wasn’t an easy platform to use. With Easy Stories in English Premium it’s much easier. As soon as you sign up you’ll get your own podcast feed – that’s the list of episodes – without adverts and with bonus episodes.
To sign up, go to EasyStoriesInEnglish.com/Support and use the code ‘easy’ to get your first month free. If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, just go to the top of the feed and click ‘Try Free’!
The Patreon isn’t disappearing, by the way – you can join it to get access to th… Lees meer -

The year is 2039
A group of scientists, linguists and historians have invented a time travel machine.
Each can return to a place and time, but only for one hour.
Some choose to go back to change the course of world history, while others go back to a period in their personal lives.
One even travels to the future.
It doesn’t quite go as planned…
===
A few weeks ago I interviewed Alastair, who led the Pioneers of the Continuum project, and today I'm so excited to share with you my episode! You can find all the episodes on the Leonardo English website, or on your podcast app.
