get sth off your chest

to tell someone about something that has been worrying you or making you feel guilty for a long time:

I had spent three weeks worrying about it and I was glad to get it off my chest.

Hey everyone, it’s Kristian here. I’ve got some important news for you: the weekly conversations in English with Alexandra are now available under a brand new podcast name: Conversations in English, by English Junkies.  

In this podcast we have engaging conversations about interesting topics. We talk about everything, from relationships to leadership, travel to language learning. It’s a podcast for everyone who wants to build their vocabulary in a natural, fun and effective way.

Now, both of us hope that you will continue listening to our podcast. To do that, you can visit our brand new website englishjunkies.com. There you can easily find every single episode that we release on Tuesdays.  

Also, you can find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts from. Just search for “English Junkies” 

Okay, that’s it for the first part of this housekeeping message. Now, if you have one more minute, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen with the Cambridge Exam Coach podcast. 

Firstly, I’m changing the name from Cambridge Exam Coach to Study with Cambridge Exam Coach. That should already give you a clue, right? 

Secondly, in the past months I’ve bought a few books to level up my own English. As you know I’m a non-native speaker, and I’m on a lifelong journey to become better and better, every single day. 

Now, I’ve decided to take you with me on my journey. And I’m going to do that on this podcast. 

What does this mean? Well, I’m going to release episodes in which I show you my own learning process. The focus will be on vocabulary building, with specific attention to collocations. Every now and then there will be an episode around phrasal verbs. And I might even include episodes in which I focus on idioms.     

Anyway, what you need to know for now, is that I’m going to publish episodes in which I tell you about the words and collocations I’m learning myself. 

So, if that sounds interesting to you, and frankly speaking, I don’t see a reason why not, but it’s up to you of course, then subscribe to this podcast, Study with Cambridge Exam Coach, and you’ll hear from me at least once a week.

Finally, I won’t keep a website for this podcast. There won’t be any transcripts, email lists or social media. It’s just this podcast. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to me via email, which is [email protected].

Oh and one more thing. I’m still helping people all over the world to pass their Cambridge exams. My service is utterly simple: I charge €30,- for one hour 1-1 coaching and you can decide yourself how you want to use that hour. Maybe you need help with writing, or perhaps you might need some advice on how to gain more marks in your speaking exam. 

Maybe you only need one hour, or maybe you need 40 hours. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m happy to help anyone for €30 per hour.

Okay that’s all for now. Take care everyone and I hope to speak to you soon! 

Bye bye!
