Do you believe that you never get a second chance to make a first impression?

Welcome to another week of English Across The Pond full of chat, fun and all the language you need to improve your English skills. Join your 2 native speaker hosts, Dan from the UK and Jennifer from the US, as they chat about how to make a good first impression and some do’s and don’ts. After the conversation stay tuned because the language focus this week is all about numbers.

Hello our dear Ponders! It’s bonus episode time and we are delighted to introduce our good friend Dana from Can Learn English. Dana is Canadian and so we have 3 native speakers from 3 different countries chatting with you today - big wow! We talk about some of the differences between our 3 different types of English and Jennifer and Dan learn some Canadian vocabulary.

It's a great episode, ey? (Canadian English)

Hello ... clean/messy Ponder! :)

Some of us are clean individuals, while some of us may be a bit messy and not mind a less than clean area. Which one are you? Join us this week as we talk about chores, habits, and whether or not we’re clean or messy in our own homes.

Is Jennifer cleaner than Dan, or is Dan a cleaner person than Jennifer? Find out as you hear a natural conversation, lots of vocabulary, and get some more practice with adjective clauses. Enjoy!

Hey Ponders! Have you ever cheated on a test? Have you ever cheated on a partner?! We doubt it but whether you have or not our topic for this week focuses around the evergreen topic of …  cheating! Join your 2 English language teacher hosts for real conversation packed full of fun and all the language you need to boost your vocabulary and improve your listening skills. After the chat, the language focus is all about the different prepositions that collocate with the verb to cheat.

Enjoy and make sure you listen to the whole episode - no cheating!

Hello! We’re happy to have you with us “at work” today :)

In fact, we get to spend every week with you here at English Across the Pond. Join us as we talk about this annual day (Take Your Kids to Work Day)  where people around the US bring their children to work. Why does this happen? Has Jennifer (or Dan) ever gone to work with their parents? And, what IS the difference between TAKE and BRING anyway? You’ll find all of that out this week. Enjoy!

Hey there Ponders!

Red and yellow and pink and green. Purple and orange and blue … this week your 2 English teacher hosts, Dan from the UK and Jennifer from the US, are chatting all about colour!

After the chat, the language focus is all about idioms related to colour - enjoy!

Hello, hello dear Pond listener!

We’re back with another episode about food, but this time - we’re talking about childhood memories and food! Are there things we used to eat but no longer do? What are some common things we would eat as a family (when we were the kids)!? Find out some of our past favorite meals, fun memories we look back on and a lot more natural English conversation.

Enjoy!

Hi there dear language learning friends and welcome to another episode of our weekly podcast. In case we haven’t already met, we are two native English language teachers with over 30 years’ teaching experience between us, Jennifer from the US and Dan from England. Nice to meet you :)

This week we are talking all about individuality and chatting about things like - what does it mean to be an individual? And is it always better to stand out? Listen along to our natural conversation and hear all all the up to date phrases, expressions and vocabulary you need to improve your English skills.

After the chat the language focus explains the words I, me, my, mine and myself.

Hello dear friends. Today's episode is extra special for Jennifer because she gets to talk about something she's passionate about (and also certified to teach), which is YOGA. Dan learns a lot from his expert co-host!

Have you ever done yoga? If yes, do you practice often? If no, would you like to try?

Notice the 2 verbs we used there? We'll dive more into that in our language focus!

Enjoy the episode :)
