What's Your Opinion?

What's Your Opinion? Chocolate or Vanilla

In this podcast for adult, independent English learners I talk about the importance of practising talking about controversial issues. How will we ever make authentic connections in a second language if we haven't practised the vocabulary needed to express nuance, and delicately, cautiously and respectfully present opposing perspectives? In this podcast I present some of that language, and discuss the importance of using it before we need it!

Ep.3 Courting controversy!

In this podcast for adult, independent English learners we look at the use of makeup (noun) and which verbs are often used with it. In addition, we ask when make up (phrasal verb) is used as a verb, and of course, it wouldn’t be English if there were no exceptions to the rules! Listen to the end of the podcast to hear the exception! I hope this is helpful. 

Ep.2 Makeup or make up? 

In this podcast for adult, independent English learners we look at the correct pronunciation (in southern British / modern RP) of the following words: chaotic, mindful, fruit, and nature.
