Streetwise English

SWE 100 How long have you been studying English?

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of hobbies. Hobbies are activities that bring joy, relaxation, and opportunities to connect with others. Whether you're just starting to learn English or have some experience, this episode is designed to help you expand your vocabulary and confidently discuss your hobbies in English.

Hosted by Louis, this engaging episode begins by introducing various hobbies, such as reading, playing a musical instrument, hiking, painting, cooking, and photography. You'll have a moment to reflect on which hobbies interest you personally.

Next, Louis guides you through essential phrases to express your favorite hobbies. You'll learn how to answer the question, "What's your favorite hobby?" by using the phrase "My favorite hobby is..." For example, "My favorite hobby is reading." Additionally, you'll practice saying, "I enjoy..." followed by your preferred hobby, such as "I enjoy hiking" or "I enjoy cooking."

Building on these phrases, Louis teaches you how to use "I like to..." followed by a verb to describe your hobbies. For instance, "I like to play the guitar." These simple structures enable you to share your hobbies and interests with others more confidently.

To foster engaging conversations, Louis demonstrates how to ask questions about someone's hobbies. You'll practice asking, "What hobbies do you have?" and "Do you play any sports?" Furthermore, you'll learn to inquire about frequency with the question, "How often do you [hobby]?" For example, "How often do you go hiking?"

By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with the necessary vocabulary and phrases to discuss hobbies with ease. Remember, practice makes perfect, so be sure to utilize these phrases with friends or language exchange partners. Tune in to the podcast and embark on an exciting journey of learning and sharing your hobbies in English. Happy learning!

12月31日大みそかには、お寺で鐘（かね）ついて、人の心にある悪い気持ちを追い出しました（おいだす remove）。新年の前の日だからです。また、やりましたよ。今度は2月3日。世の中にある悪いモノ、例えばコロナとか、そういうものを、豆（まめ  bean）をまいて、家から追い出しました。2月4日から「春」だからです。日本人、ほんとうにきれい好きです。悪いモノ＝鬼（おに）を追い出す、この行事を「節分 せつぶん」と言います。でもさ、鬼も追い出されたままではないようです。最近はビジネスしてるみたい！そんなお話を少し。

IELTS Speaking myths. We'll 'de-myth' two together!

What is a myth anyway? A myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that is especially associated with religious belief.

Where do myths come from?  Generally speaking a myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths.

Myths also come from 'imagining' what took place and forming an idea of it and then sharing it with others as if it actually took place.

Of course it takes place in language learning and in IELTS speaking test.

We'll look into 2 myths students generally think about when it comes to IELTS speaking tests, they are:

Myth 1 -  I have to agree with my examiner’s opinion (if I don't ... )
Myth 2 -  My speaking duration was only 9 minutes long (instead of 11-14). (If it is to occur I ...)

You can finish the rest.

Do you have these kinds of thoughts running through your mind? Generally students say yes, you can be an exception but listen to the podcast just to see what not to do. It's highly recommended.

Enjoy your process and I'd love to have an opportunity to assist the development of your spoken English in IELTS speaking or a job interview preparation instead of teaching you the rulles, grammar etc.

See you in my classes.
