Conversations With a Friend

Let's Talk About Cats!

In this episode for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, I’ll talk about vocabulary and idioms related to sleep. 

It’s a topic that can come in especially handy if you find yourself engaging in small talk, especially since so many of us are sleep-deprived.

The idioms we’ll cover are:
-hit the hay/hit the sack
-to sleep like a rock/to sleep like a baby
-out like a light
-to catch some Zs
-to sleep on it/to sleep on something

How to Talk About Sleep

In this episode for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, my daughter and I talk about our predictions for the second part of Stranger Things 4. The first seven episodes were released at the end of May and the last two episodes come out July 1st. We recorded this episode on June 17th and try to guess what'll happen in those last two episodes. 

WARNING: This episode contains SPOILERS (we talk about what happened in the first seven episodes, so don't listen to this if you haven't already watched it).

We'd love to hear your predictions in the comments, or, if you're listening to this after the last two episodes come out you can find out if we were right or not!  (Music by Lesfm from Pixabay)

Stranger Things Season 4, Part 2 PREDICTIONS!

In this episode for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, I’ll talk about some idioms and sayings that I personally use regularly. Today’s idioms are mostly related to having lots and lots of work to do, or being really busy. These idioms (and one phrasal verb) can all be used in a business context, but are also used in everyday life.

I welcome you to practice what you’ve learned by writing examples in the comments!  (Music by Lesfm from Pixabay)
