The goal of this episode is to share as many useful healthcare vocabulary as I can think of.

I first begin by comparing my medical experiences in the UK and in Thailand, and then go through some of my specific medical problems and injuries in each country where I go through my symptoms and share my views.

Cleft Sentences are an area of English grammar that is used in daily conversation, but isn't often taught.

I don't know many things, but what I am knowledgable about is English! (There's an example!)

In this episode, I first explain two of these grammar patterns that you can follow, and then I go through some questions about travel, life experience, and work while answering using this grammar. And of course, I encourage you to do the same.

For the past 6 months, I've been noting down the most common mistakes I see English learners make in preparation for this episode.

I go through them one by one and give examples from my own life to give you some context for each one and show you how they're used.

Some of these are simple mistakes, and others look at the subtle differences between two similar phrases.

I've been tracking my own language learning for over a year and it's amazing to see my progress and time invested over that period.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Today I'm joined by Emma (Adventure into English) for a conversation about group vs solo activities. Emma has been helping with the group classes at Level Up English for some time now, so it's an appropriate topic for today.

We start by discussing some Would You Rather questions for activities that can be done as a group or on your own.

We then move onto some English expressions around the topic of groups and working together. These are expressions you can use in your daily life, and I quiz Emma on using these in her replies. See if you can join in the game too!

Mental Health is something we should all take seriously and I believe there's a lot of crossover between language learning and having a healthy mindset.

This was a request from a listener to cover this topic. Although I am of course, not a professional, I do love the topic, so I share 18 different methods that I used to improve my own mental health and bring happiness into my life. I hope you find some of them useful too.

Of course, as always, I mention loads of fantastic English words and phrases related to this topic that you can use in your daily life too.

You may know that British people are famous for using the word 'sorry' all the time.

In this episode, I talk about this habit and how much truth is behind it, but I also share the different situations in which we would say 'sorry' in the UK - and maybe more generally in the English-speaking world too.

Sorry is so much more than a word used when you make a mistake and it can have many different meanings.

There are also many different ways to apologise and say you're sorry depending on how serious the situation is, so in the second half of this episode, I cover these different phrases.
