#252 Reflecting on 2023, Planning for 2024
27 december 2023 · 45 min
Welcome back to one of my favourite episodes of the year - one filled with reflections and goal-setting at the end of the year. Lees meer
I love this time of year because it's a natural rest point for thinking about how the previous year has gone, and what we'd like to change going forward.
It's a great time to think about your goals and progress with your English learning, but also other areas too and consider what you want to get out of the next year, and your life!
Join me in a slightly longer episode as we explore the topics of Successes and Struggles from the previous year, as well as different goals and plans for the next year.

#246 Easy Stories in English (Ariel Goodbody)
15 november 2023 · 25 min
I am a big fan of reading for the purpose of learning a language as well, of course as listening, which is why I make podcasts. If you want to improve both of your listening and reading as well as your vocabulary, then this should be a good resource for you today. Lees meer
In today’s episode, Ariel Goodbody will tell you a story, but pre-teach some of the harder vocabulary first. This is a crosspost episode where Ariel shared one of my episodes on their podcast, and I am sharing a story I enjoyed from Ariel's podcast.
It's something a little different, so I hope you enjoy it! Connect with Ariel or me below.

#245 The Ultimate Guide to IELTS Speaking
8 november 2023 · 39 min
In this episode, I will be talking about the IELTS Speaking exam. Lees meer
I know the IELTS exam isn't going to be relevant for everyone, although I always like to mention that preparing for the exam can also be great practice for English in a general sense. I'm sure those who have taken the exam before will agree that their English improved during the process. So even if you're not taking the exam, I really hope this episode will be useful for you in some way.
Since the beginning of this podcast, one of my main reasons, for making content was based on listener questions. I realised I would get the same questions again and again, and rather than trying to write out messages to reply to each one. I thought it would be much better for both me and the person asking the question if I could put all of my advice into one episode.
So the goal of this episode is to make the ultimate guide to IELTS speaking.

#244 The Link Between Exercise and Language Learning
1 november 2023 · 25 min
Over the years doing this podcast, the topic of exercise seems to have come up a lot when making comparisons to language learning, so I thought it was about time I made an episode where I talk all about it. Lees meer
In this episode, I talk about exercise and some of the benefits, teach you some useful expressions, and make some links on how exercise and language learning are similar and benefit you in the same ways.

#243 Should You Learn from Non-Native Speakers?
25 oktober 2023 · 28 min
I get comments occasionally from people who say “I want to be like a native speaker” and “I don’t want to learn from non-native speakers. Lees meer
In this episode, I'll argue the benefits of learning from non-native speakers as well as natives, and not closing yourself off from learning. The main thesis here is to stay open-minded in language learning and I explore some reasons why.
I cover some ways in which non-native speakers might be preferable to native speakers, and even when they're not, the things you can learn from them.
I hope you find this episode valuable. As always, you can share your thoughts on the show notes page below.

#240 Biggest Lessons from Moving Abroad
4 oktober 2023 · 40 min
I’ve been living in Bangkok, Thailand since the beginning of August, so it’s been over 2 months now. This is the longest I’ve spent in one place outside of my home country before. One of our group class students requested an episode sharing my thoughts and experiences after moving here, and I decided to give it a go. Lees meer
In this episode, I’ll be talking about what’s changed here and some big differences I’ve noticed between the UK and Thailand. I’ll be sharing the good and the bad, things I miss and things I prefer here. I’ll also be talking about moving abroad and relocating more generally and will mention some useful vocabulary related to this topic.

#239 Never Forget English Words Again
27 september 2023 · 39 min
Memory is something we've covered a few times on the podcast before, but it's always worth coming back to with more ideas and tips. Lees meer

#237 The Power of Groups and Movies with Cara Leopold
13 september 2023 · 41 min
Cara Leopold (Leo Listening) joins me once again on the podcast to discuss the benefits of learning English in groups with her experience teaching group classes based around movies, as well as some good movies and TV series she likes to use to practice and teach English. Lees meer
If you've caught this episode in 2023, Cara is relaunching her Movie Club course. You can try it out for one week in September to see if you like it. We talk more about this in the episode too
Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast237
------------------------------
Cara Leopold is the creator of the Leo Listening Movie Club where she helps film-loving English learners understand and discuss movies together so they can master conversational English.
From September 13th-20th Cara is organising the Back-to-School Movie Challenge, a 1-week taste of what it's like to be in a movie club. By watching and discussing clips from high school movies together, you’ll learn new vocabulary, catch fast-spoken English and practice your speaking and writing skills with other movie-loving English learners. The challenge includes access to a discussion forum as well as a live Zoom session on September 20th to chat with me and other film lovers about the movie clips.

#236 Adding 'Up' to Verbs (Part 2)
6 september 2023 · 28 min
In this episode, we'll be talking about some patterns you can remember when adding UP to verbs. Lees meer
Here are some examples: cloud up, clear up, finish up, drink up, break up
One of the Level Up Members recently asked about the difficult part of phrasal verbs where we add ‘up’ to a verb and why we do this. I decided to make an entire episode about it because it’s not an easy thing to get your head around. Part 1 was Episode 224.
I decided to stop the episode halfway because 1 hour of listing phrasal verbs might be a tad boring. So let's finish up the patterns in today's episode.
I will add a complete lesson on Level Up English with a quiz and subtitles to help you understand. If you want to access this as well as join a global learner community to get access to all transcripts, group lessons, and many more courses.

#235 Learn English Fast with Comprehensible Input
30 augustus 2023 · 32 min
I had a great audio question sent in today about learning with comprehensible input. So in this episode, I cover some of the ideas behind the comprehensible input method, and then explore the input hypothesis from Stephen Krashen and how these ideas might benefit your language learning methods. Lees meer
As always, keep in mind we are all different and learn in different ways, but I think a lot of these points will be relevant to most of you. Perhaps you can take something away today that you can implement (add) into your own study routine.

#233 Don't Take Yourself So Seriously
16 augustus 2023 · 30 min
On the private podcast last week, I chatted a bit about my experience in China and then ended on the idea of the benefit of being silly in your language learning. I thought it was a really interesting and potentially useful topic for people to hear, so I decided to turn it into a public podcast episode too. Lees meer
In this episode, I’ll be talking about reasons why you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously, and how inserting more silliness into your life can benefit you - both generally and to help your English learning.

19 april 2023 · 48 min
Dr. Valerie Fridland is a professor, sociolinguist, author, and public speaker. Lees meer
Her recent book is: Like, Literally, Dude. Arguing for the Good in Bad English.
She joins me on the podcast today for a fascinating discussion about aspects of English we often consider to be bad, such as UM and AH. We also talk about the use of "like" and other language features like Vocal Fry.
