Managing group conversations

In this video, I explained why I will move to Astana without going into too much detail. I preferred slow narration and understandable language. This podcast is suitable for A2-B2 level Turkish learners. It may be difficult for A1 level students, but remember, no pain, no gain!

This week’s episode is a little slower, a little softer — because I’ve been recovering from COVID. But even in moments of weakness, we can still learn. In this reflective lesson, I share a quiet story from my week in recovery and teach useful, real-life English you can use when you're sick, tired, or just in need of rest.

You’ll learn:

     - How to talk naturally about being sick in English

     - Gentle ways to cancel or reschedule plans

     - Useful expressions like “I’m on the mend” and “I’ve been resting up”

     - A mindfulness prompt to help you practice English through real-life reflection

Whether you’re under the weather or just craving a pause, this immersive episode invites you to slow down and reconnect — with English, and with yourself.

12月31日大みそかには、お寺で鐘（かね）ついて、人の心にある悪い気持ちを追い出しました（おいだす remove）。新年の前の日だからです。また、やりましたよ。今度は2月3日。世の中にある悪いモノ、例えばコロナとか、そういうものを、豆（まめ  bean）をまいて、家から追い出しました。2月4日から「春」だからです。日本人、ほんとうにきれい好きです。悪いモノ＝鬼（おに）を追い出す、この行事を「節分 せつぶん」と言います。でもさ、鬼も追い出されたままではないようです。最近はビジネスしてるみたい！そんなお話を少し。
