The Level Up English Podcast

I recently returned from a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina - my first post-pandemic trip. I had a fantastic time and tried my best to use as much of their language as possible.

As with all my trips, I have a lot of reflections and ideas on language learning that I'd like to share that might help you.

Giving people the benefit of the doubt - not only is this a useful English phrase, but it's also a great attitude to have in life. I talk about some ways in which we can use this and how this way of thinking benefits my own life.

I ramble about the important and relevant topic of smartphone addiction and how smartphones can be used to learn English, as well as some of my ideas on how to reduce smartphone usage is a.. smart way!

I explore the important topic of living in the moment, inspired by a book I read recently. Living in the moment and not spending all our time worrying about the past or future is the key to a happy life (I believe!) and also makes a lot of sense when related to learning English.

I hope you find value in this episode.

In this episode, I talk all about things that I find annoying and use some useful expressions to talk about this. Most importantly, I  end the episode with some ideas on how we can deal with our annoyances and become more understanding and patient human beings.

Dafydd Morse kindly joined me on the show this week to introduce us to Wales - his home country on the west side of Britain. I feel like the Welsh culture (people, language, etc.) is often overlooked on a global scale, and perhaps some of you are hearing about it for the first time today! Whether that's true, or you know a bit already, I'm sure you'll enjoy what Dafydd has to say in this episode.

Is Wales a country?
Is the Welsh language similar to English?
How about travel tips?
Relationship to England?

I love the topic of unsolved mysteries - both in the past and today. So let's talk about a few famous ones while using some useful grammar. We can use modal verbs to speculate about things. Check out the full shownotes for more information.

Based on one of my private lesson plans, I have a topic here about ageing and getting older. How do you feel about getting older? Let's have a chat about it and learn some useful expressions. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, you'll also feel more positive about your age!
