Once you’ve experienced the novelty and thrill of traveling to a foreign country, it’s easy to think that your life back home could never be truly fulfilling or meaningful due to its monotany and predictability. You may end up believing that the people who never travel or experience new things are suckers… just empty souls sitting around, waiting to die… but is that really the case?

The Valley Girl accent is a style of speaking associated with young women from California's San Fernando Valley (Northern suburbs of Los Angeles) in the 1970s and 1980s. It became famous through movies, TV shows, and pop culture, and many people now use "Valley Girl" to describe both an accent and a speaking style.

As you know, it can be extremely useful to focus on one dialect/accent of a foreign language when trying to learn how to sound like a native speaker. In fact, this is something I highly encourage. — All I ask, however, is that when you’re learning to speak English, you don’t chose this one.

There’s one simple thing we’re all guilty of doing to people, and it’s ruining our conversations. It causes people to dislike us, lose respect for us, and ultimately avoid talking to us altogether. I’m back with another episode about conversation skills, my friends. Have a listen and see if you identify with this topic.

My good friend Matheus has returned to the podcast yet again, y'all. Today's episode comes from a chat we had about the reason it's so easy for us to make conversation with each other. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties and lost the second half of this chat, but there's still some good food for thought in this clip!
