Edward's ESL Edge

Is English the most difficult language in the world? In Episode 28, we present a list of challenging languages and discuss what makes a language more difficult to learn and master.

We are back with Episode 27 of the podcast! It has been a few weeks, but we are happy to be back to bring you another exciting topic.

We hope you're sitting down for this because the topic is...

SITTING!!

Wait, that doesn't sound very exciting... Well, don't worry, because there's always plenty to talk about!

In Episode 26, we are talking to ourselves... Wait, that can't be right...

We are talking about talking to ourselves! Why do we do it? Why should we do it?

Listen in and find out more about why you can't resist the urge to say a few words while no one else is around.

Listen, share, and enjoy!

In Episode 25, we talk about the wild world of on-demand services. What will happen when people get used to having everything at their fingertips? There are so many services available these days, that we may not even know some exist.

We take a look at the current state of technology and also look back on our first experiences with the Internet.

Tune in and let us know what you think!

Here we are at Episode 24...

We are looking back at some of the words we got to know better in 2016. This episode offers a quiz for our listeners, so you can test your listening comprehension and try to identify the correct definitions for the new terms presented.

See how you do!

In Episode 23, we are happy to catch up with the podcast's first ever guest, Phil, who helps us reflect on 2016 and speculate on the year to come.

We get to hear about how his cat's doing, too! :)

In this episode, we present several new terms and expressions for our listeners, and we also go over the use of Future Perfect forms for a bit of grammar practice.

All of that and more!

Enjoy.

We are bringing you another Pronunciation Challenge after a bit of a break from this segment.

This one is holiday themed, so we're happy to stretch the holidays out for a few extra days!

Enjoy!

In Episode 22, we discuss the best and worst positions for sleep.

If you're wondering what's keeping you awake at night, we hope this podcast sheds some light on your situation--and that it's not your guilty conscience that has you tossing and turning till sunrise...

Enjoy!

In Episode 21, we revisit a portmanteau from Episode 20 and dive into the history of brunch.

When and why did we decide we needed to combine breakfast and lunch to form another meal? Well, the answer is more complicated than you might have thought.

Tune in to learn more...

Enjoy!

We continue our 'Idiomatically Speaking' segment with a quick look at 'knee' idioms.

We were 'up to our elbows' a few weeks ago, and now we're 'knee-deep' in idioms... Deal with it!

Enjoy!
