Today we're talking about an idiom that you can use to say that you understand something really well and that you have a detailed knowledge of it. This is the idiom, to know something like the back of your hand. I hope you find it useful!

English Conversation/Dialogue

Talking to yourself isn’t just harmless—it’s scientifically proven to boost cognitive function and language retention. According to research, internal self-talk regulates emotions and improves focus, especially under pressure. Now imagine doing this in your target language—it’s like rewiring your internal operating system to think in new words, sounds, and rhythms.
And here’s something else that’s fascinating—rehearsed monologue, or what we call “self-talk,” activates the same brain regions involved in conversation with others. That means that practicing your thoughts aloud, even in private, preps your brain for real-life social interactions.

When you talk to yourself in a new language, you’re building not just fluency—you’re building trust. Trust in your own voice. Confidence grows when we hear ourselves trying.
And in moments of doubt, this diary becomes your mirror. It shows you how far you’ve come—not just in words, but in courage.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

昨日は大寒波！について話しました。
何それ？初めて聞いた！という方は189のPodcastを聞いてください。

今日は走りたいけど走れない！について話します。
今、日本ではとても寒い日が続いています。

北海道も雪が降るので、雪がよく積もります。
雪が積もると、いろんな問題があります。
僕にとって、その1つは、ランニングすることが難しくなることです。雪が積もっていると走りにくいです。走ろうと思えば走れます。ですが、結構大変です。滑らないように気にするので、足元を見ながら走ることが多くなります。それから、あまり速いスピードで走れません。それから、めちゃくちゃ寒いです。今日、ここ千歳は-13℃です。

そんな感じで、走りにくい問題がいくつもあります。
それで、大阪から帰ってきて、まだ1度も走れていません。
これはこれで結構ストレスになります。
何か解決策が必要です。

ということで、次のPodcastでは、その解決策について話そうと思います。

みなさんはどんな運動をしていますか？
ぜひそんな話をしましょう！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！

MIGUEL ÁNGEL DE QUEVEDO.

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis interviews Shweta Ramkumar, a communication coach and founder of Healthy Dynamics,  who helps healthcare professionals from non-English speaking backgrounds become confident, empathetic communicators in English.

Shweta’s passion for healthcare communication began at home, growing up with a doctor mom. Today, she uses that experience to coach international healthcare workers, blending emotional intelligence, cultural understanding, and real-life clinical scenarios with ESL strategies.

They discuss:

The biggest English communication mistakes healthcare professionals make (and it’s not grammar)

Why miscommunication can create emotional stress for both patients and providers

How empathy, trust, and active listening can improve patient care

The powerful results her clients see through one-on-one coaching

Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, medical student, or ESL professional in healthcare, this episode will help you understand how clear, compassionate English can truly change lives, starting with your own.
