This podcast is dedicated to the cultural differences that I faced when I moved to France and the gap between spoken French and the one taught in school as second language.

How should we apologize? What's the best way to say "sorry" in a casual situation? 
Expressions we use: 

My bad / That's my bad (casual). 
Hey, uh, Tim, I accidentally ate the food you made for yourself for lunch. Hh... my bad. I won't 
Honey, I forgot to take out the garbage again tonight. My bad. Look—I'll do it in the morning.

I'm sorry + forgive me (more serious, intimate)
I'm sorry, I broke your favourite coffee mug, hun. I'll get you a new one, and it'll be even better.
Paul, I'm sorry for missing your birthday party, I completely forgot about it. Can you forgive me for that? I... I need to be a better brother.

I'm so sorry I let your parrot escape! I'll go look for her. 
I'm so so sorry about that, Riley—next time I'm going to be late, I will call you.

Authentic connection in the classroom is the cornerstone of compassionate teaching. If we want to develop lasting relationships with students and relate to them in meaningful ways, we must get to know them as unique individuals. In this episode, you will learn three changes to implement in your classroom, no matter how far into your teaching practice you are.

Teaching Compassion

Authentic Connection in the Classroom

What's wrong with young people?
Some older people complain they have a fear of going out at night because of increasing violence and the number of young people who are drunk. But is it right for them to be frightened?
It's true that the number of reported violent crimes has increased, but also true that the police have become more expert at recording crime. Their enquiries are more successful because victims seem more willing to report crime. This may account for the increase.
There is also a growing trend for young people to consume less alcohol now than ten or fifteen years ago. Why? It's probably a combination of factors. Alcohol is expensive, it makes you lose control, and there seems to be a cultural move away from heavy drinking of alcohol.

As a general rule we spend time on continuous verbs. For instance, "I like to spend time improving my English". We can also devote time to things, commit time to things, set aside time for things, and earmark time for things.
