#302 18 Ways to Improve Your Mental Health
11 december 2024 · 45 min
Mental Health is something we should all take seriously and I believe there's a lot of crossover between language learning and having a healthy mindset. Lees meer
This was a request from a listener to cover this topic. Although I am of course, not a professional, I do love the topic, so I share 18 different methods that I used to improve my own mental health and bring happiness into my life. I hope you find some of them useful too.
Of course, as always, I mention loads of fantastic English words and phrases related to this topic that you can use in your daily life too.

#301 Saying 'Sorry' Like a British Person
4 december 2024 · 50 min
You may know that British people are famous for using the word 'sorry' all the time. Lees meer
In this episode, I talk about this habit and how much truth is behind it, but I also share the different situations in which we would say 'sorry' in the UK - and maybe more generally in the English-speaking world too.
Sorry is so much more than a word used when you make a mistake and it can have many different meanings.
There are also many different ways to apologise and say you're sorry depending on how serious the situation is, so in the second half of this episode, I cover these different phrases.

#300 Life Experiences and Present Perfect Tense with Akari (Nihongo For You)
27 november 2024 · 38 min
In Episode 300 of the podcast, Akari from the Nihongo For You podcast joins me today for a chat about teaching languages, moving abroad, and learning English. Lees meer
In the second half of the episode, we talk about life experiences where I ask Akari questions using the present perfect tense about things she has done before. It's a great opportunity to practice the grammar and see it used in the context of a regular conversation.
Perhaps you could also answer along at home and practice for yourself?
If you're learning or thinking about learning Japanese, don't forget to check out Akari's website and podcast too.

#299 Why We Always Want More (Hedonic Adaptation)
20 november 2024 · 35 min
In my last episode, I spoke about my cycling trip to Taiwan. While there, I had a lot of time alone to think to myself with no distractions. In this episode today, I'm going to share some of the things I was thinking about. Lees meer
One of these was the idea of Hedonic Adaptation (also known as the Hedonic Treadmill). This is something that we all face as humans and might just be the key to understanding how to be happy and content.
It's a really useful topic when it comes to being happy with what you have and not always feeling bad about what you don't - such as feeling bad for not being good enough at English.
Let's find out more.

#298 I Cycled 1000km Around Taiwan
13 november 2024 · 1 uur 4 min
I took 2 weeks off in October to ride a bicycle around the whole of Taiwan. It was over 1000km and took about 2 weeks to complete. Along the way, I had both good and bad experiences and there's a lot I'd love to share! Lees meer
I also filmed a lot of videos of my cycle, so if you'd like to see, you can watch this episode on YouTube - The Level Up English Podcast.
This is perhaps the longest solo episode I've ever recorded, but throughout the episode, I talk about the good and the bad, what I did day by day, how I prepared for the trip, and my experience talking in Chinese with people there.
Along the way, I also mention a lot of useful vocabulary which will be useful for you as English learners. Hope you enjoy!

#297 Don't Fall for the Comparison Trap
6 november 2024 · 44 min
The Comparison Trap is when we get stuck comparing our lives to other people and feeling worse as a result. Lees meer
It's a common problem in language learning, and this is something that I often experience too since I was inspired to make this episode after a moment of comparison made me feel worse.
We often compare ourselves to others in many ways, such as income, appearance, skills, and on social media.
In this episode, I cover all of these topics while sharing some useful comparative grammar structures to improve your spoken English.

#296 Be More Curious
30 oktober 2024 · 44 min
Curiosity is an important thing to practice to be better English language learners and enjoy your life more. Lees meer
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.

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. Lees meer

31 januari 2024 · 36 min
In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into Blue Zones - 5 areas around the world where people live a long time with great health. Lees meer
I'll be sharing my uneducated views on why this might be, but also looking at the Power 9 - 9 reasons why researchers believe life expectancy is so long in these places.
For those of you who want to learn some new English along the way, I'll also be trying my best to include some dependant prepositions and their phrases too. I'll explain more about this in the episode.

#256 Spending 10 Days in Silence - Stories with Bree Aesie
24 januari 2024 · 50 min
Bree Aesie from Into The Stories Podcast joins us today for a conversation about meditation and stories. This was one of my favourite conversations yet, packed with lots of life lessons as well as English learning tips and motivation. Lees meer
Since Bree's podcast is all about looking at stories, we start by turning the tables on Bree and I ask her to share a meaningful story for her. We talk about her 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand and some of the difficulties and lessons from that experience.
We delve into topics around meditation and mindfulness, and also why learning a language through stories is such a powerful and effective method.
By the way, I also appeared on Bree's podcast! You can listen to our episode here where I talk about a challenging and personal experience in my 20s.

#255 The Secret to Natural British English (Linking!)
17 januari 2024 · 28 min
Textbook English is different from spoken English, and a big part of this comes down to pronunciation and how things are said in real conversations. Lees meer
You may understand English learner material easily, but then really struggle when it comes to watching TV or movies. What I discuss in this episode may be the reason why.
This is the first part of a series I’m going to do on pronunciation, and this episode will be about something called Linking.
Linking is when a consonant sound connects from the end of one word to the beginning of the next word. Listen to find out more!

#253 Use Conjunctions to Debate in English
3 januari 2024 · 24 min
Let's look at some conjunctions (also known as connectives) to help improve your conversation and debating skills in English. Lees meer
Conjunctions are an effective way to make your sentences more complex and sound much more natural - rather than simply using a string of short, simple sentences. We'll also be looking at more phrases, such as adverbs.
In this episode, I share them in a natural way while sharing my own opinions on some controversial and interesting debate topics. Can you share your own views on the topics using these conjunctions in the comments on the show notes page below?
