Welcome back to Your English Toolbox — Slow English Podcast, the place where we train your ears step by step, slowly and confidently.

In today’s episode, Peter guides you through 100 powerful sentences about expressing emotions, building confidence, deepening connections, and speaking honestly. These sentences come directly from our emotional-communication curriculum, and from the full script you’ll shadow today 

This session is designed to help you speak clearly, calmly and naturally about your feelings — a key skill for real conversations, mental well-being, and English exam success.

You will practice:

• Identifying emotions with accuracy: overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, hurt, disappointed

• Naming feelings using psychology tools like “name it to tame it”

• Avoiding emotional blocks such as bottling up and lashing out

• Using phrasal verbs: open up, get it off my chest, lash out

• Confronting politely using the I-statement: “I feel X when you Y”

• Asking better questions: “You seem quiet today — what’s on your mind?”

• Practicing empathy and validation: “It makes sense you feel this way.”

• Emotional shadowing at slow, natural, and exam-friendly pace

This episode includes:

✔ Slow, clear shadowing

✔ Full emotional vocabulary set

✔ Real-life communication patterns

✔ Exam-oriented phrases for IELTS, TOEFL & Cambridge

By the end, you’ll feel more confident expressing emotions in English, understanding others, and responding in a way that feels human, calm, and connected.
