We'll be looking at the popular subreddit r/Confessions and for each story, I'll be sharing my own views on what this person should have done and giving them advice. While giving advice, I'll be using some useful structures that you can use in your English too.

Of course, we also learn a lot of bonus vocabulary that comes up in each story as well.

If you wait around to the end, you'll even hear a couple of my own confessions where I talk about some bad things I've done (and still do!)

I've been keeping a secret for a while... About 6 months ago, I got a hair transplant!

In this episode, I talk openly about why I did this and the process that went into it. And I also talk more deeply and generally on the topic of self-esteem and self image and how the way we look affects our confidence in the world. It's a great topic to dive into, and along the way, I cover lots of useful vocabulary and phrases too.

I recently learnt that not everyone thinks the same way I do. In fact, there are some areas in which our brains differ greatly. For me, this is a fascinating topic. How do I know the green colour you see, is the same as the green colour I see?

In this episode, I share a few different ways in which our brains are different, and what this might mean for us living our daily lives, and the implications as language learners.

So if you want to learn more about your brain and how it works, listen to this episode, and don't forget to share your own experiences in the comments.

The main focus of today's episode is the word 'cringe'.

It's a useful word to describe a strong feeling of embarrassment or awkwardness, especially at someone else's behaviour, or memories of your own past behaviour. I'll be sharing a few cringey things from my life, some embarrassing stories, and some everyday things that I find a bit cringe.

While chatting, I'll be sharing some useful phrases and expressions too, so you can learn something new with each story.

The question I get asked most often these days is "How can I learn English?" and "What's the best way to learn?"

It's clearly a topic that people want to hear about, so my goal today is to finally answer that big question once and for all.

I'll be giving advice to people who know some English, but don't know how to make it a daily practice. And also advice for learners who have been studying for a while, but feel like they don't have a clear aim and are not seeing fast improvements.

I'll talk about questions to ask yourself before getting started, steps you need to take to see improvements in your English learning, and finally, 11 questions to ask if you are studying but not improving as fast as you'd like.

I'm talking to you from the beaches of Okinawa, Japan, and bringing you an outside episode today. Click the link below if you'd like to watch the video version on YouTube.

It's a bit of a chatty episode, but my main topic is Travel Hot Takes. A hot take is a controversial opinion that many people will disagree with, and today I list some of my biggest ones. I'm sure I'm going to anger a few people with these today.
