Stairway to English: Short easy to understand episodes to improve your English grammar and fluency

みんなはカラオケ好き？私はすっごい好きなんだけど、コロナで友だちに会えないから、全然カラオケにいけないんだよね。でもヒトカラ（＝ひとりカラオケ）する勇気ないし…そしたら、switchの「JOYSOUND」を見つけたの！これは家でカラオケができるソフトなんだけど、ソフト自体は無料で自分が使いたい時間だけをチケットで買うっていうものなの。

Do you guys like karaoke? I like it a lot, but I can't go to karaoke at all because I can't see my friends at COVID‑19. But I don't dare to do karaoke alone... Then I found "JOYSOUND" for the Nintendo Switch! The software itself is free, and you buy a ticket for the time you want to use it.


早速使おうと思って、マイク買っちゃった！でも近所迷惑になっちゃうから、マイクにつける防音のやつも買ったよ。これをつけると、隣の部屋にも聞こえないし、大きい声も出せて本当にスッキリするよ。残念なのはカラオケに行ったらPVがあるんだけど、このswitchのほうにはPVがないことかな～。私は好きな歌手のPVを見ながら歌うのが好きだからちょっとそこが物足りないかな。でも、好きな時間に好きなだけ歌えるし、本当これはいい！

I bought a microphone to use it right away! But it would disturb the neighbors, so I also bought a soundproofing kit to attach to the microphone. With this, I can't be heard in the next room, and I can speak louder, so it's really refreshing. Unfortunately, the switch doesn't have any music videos, which is a pity because karaoke places have them. I like to sing while watching the music videos of my favorite singers, so I think that's a little lacking. But I can sing whenever I want and for as long as I want.


曲も15万曲あって、毎月新曲が追加されてるらしいから、歌いたい歌はだいたい見つかると思うよ。ちなみに、私が最近好きな歌手は「FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE(ファンタスティックス・フロム・エグザイル・トライブ)」っていうグループで、この前新曲だしたからその配信を待ってるところだよ。よかったら聞いてみてね！

There are 150,000 songs, and new songs are added every month, so I think you can find almost any song you want to sing. By the way, my new favorite singer is a group called "FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE," and I'm waiting for them to release a new song. You can listen to it if you like!

Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.'

Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm clock so I have to,' she says. 'I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.'

What is more important: Psychology over knowledge. Epsode 392.

It's quite clear on the knowledge part but why psychology and it's importance
for any language learners?!

Today's podcast is only few minutes but it is to give you something to chew on, a birds eye view on a topic.

Psychology plays a crucial role in language learning success, impacting motivation, learning strategies, and overall proficiency. Here’s why:

1. Motivation and Self-Efficacy
2. Learning Strategies and Cognitive Processes
3. Emotional and Social Factors:
4. Error Correction and Feedback:

In summary, integrating psychological principles into language learning enhances motivation, optimizes learning strategies, manages emotional challenges, and ultimately leads to greater proficiency and success. 

It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding the learner’s mind and tailoring the learning process accordingly. Therefore, in my 1-1 training classes I focus on this the majority of the time and I've completed over 20 thousand coaching calls from managers to vice presidents of huge corporations and they tell me - it works!

Come and try for yourself!

En este primer episodio de colombianos en el mundo le hago una entrevista a Gabriela, una colombiana que siendo muy pequeña se fue con su madre a Italia y hace unos años decidió irse a estudiar a Inglaterra. Ella habla de sus experiencias en el extranjero siendo tan joven, la nostalgia de casa y el saber varios idiomas. Tiempos verbales: pretérito indefinido, imperfecto, presente.
