The Level Up English Podcast

This is a fun episode where I cover the topic of dreaming in English.

I start by sharing some strange and unbelievable facts about dreams, and then share some of my own wacky dreams and nightmares.

I also go through a couple common dreams that many of us have had and the possible meanings behind each one, while doing so, I make sure to share a new word so hopefully, you'll be able to end this episode having learnt something new.

The 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, suggests that 20% of actions cause 80% of the outcomes. 

There are so many ways in which this shows up in life, so I'm going to be discussing it and talking about some ways we can think about this rule to improve our language progress, make our lives more efficient, and increase our level of happiness.

This is a very special episode because we're doing something a little bit different. Today I'm bringing you to the centre of Bangkok for an outdoor episode.

I talk about relocating and moving away from your home while walking around one of the central parks in Bangkok, Thailand.

I discuss the difficulties, my personal experiences, and I share lots of useful and relevant English phrases that you can use connected to this topic.

Are you too old to learn English?

Maybe you should have started when you were a child, or still in school?

Well, in this episode I'm responding to this common concern or excuse by giving my opinion on learning a language at an older age, the benefits of learning as a child, and whether you should still make the same effort now.

Don't forget to share your own views and experiences in the comments on the shownotes page below.

I'm back with another episode in the series on phrasal verbs. Today, we're looking at around 9 phrasal verbs that include the verb 'set'.

It's a really common one to use and the meanings can get confusing, so I'm going to go through each one and explain the meaning, but also follow up with a story related to my life to give some context to help explain the phrasal verb.

In this episode, I talk all about transportation. I know - it sounds a bit boring! But there's a lot to talk about.

We'll be discussing my terrifying flight experience where it felt like we almost crashed, how to talk about different types of transport and commuting, and then we end with some super useful expressions that are related to transport.

My goal is you'll end this episode with something new that you didn't know before.

I go over some near and distant future predictions (as provided by Chat GPT) and share my views on how likely I think they are to happen.

I'm a big fan of science fiction and wondering about how different things will be in the future, so I invite you to make predictions with me and use the new words I mention in this episode to practice your English.

How accurate do you think I am?

I share some of my opinions on debate questions provided to me by Chat GPT, ranging from general opinions to deeper more philosophical ones. While doing so, I share some useful vocabulary as well as phrases you can use to express your own opinions when debating or arguing.
