Mona and I discuss my theory that students of ANY language should read Haruki Murakami's novels.

Starting at 17:26, I explain the following vocabulary from the episode:

to get a feel for (something)
on the one hand; on the other hand
down to earth

Intro

This episode of English on the Road is all about New Zealand. New Zealand is one of my favourite countries, and I am excited to be talking about it. Whether it be the stunning landscapes, the diverse biology or the Maori culture - New Zealand is wonderful.
-
English on the Road is an English podcast for English learners! I try to speak slowly and if there is a difficult word or phrase, I will spell it and explain what it means. Each episode of this podcast is about travel, nature or geography.
-
Listening to podcasts in English is a great way to improve. Whether you are an intermediate learner, advanced, or just preparing for a test, listening is an amazingly convenient and fun way to improve.

I hope you enjoy this episode of English on the Road. In the future, I am planning to have guests on the show. These guests may be language teachers, students or travellers. If you are interested in being on the show, please send me a message and we can discuss it.

Talking About New Zealand

Lifestyle creep, also called "lifestyle inflation," is when you find yourself with some more money — for example, after getting a new job or paying off a mortgage — but then spend more as a result.

Learn German with Stories is something absolutely new in podcasting:

1) we pick you up at your level, with a constant, low ammount of new words per episode, starting from zero
2) we lead you to your goal in small steps, (we split the grammar into 100 pieces and slowly spoonfeed it to you)
3) we have a full-blown, continuous story, played by over 30 professional voice actors, designed to always make you hungry for more!

The story will have 100 episodes in total, and they will stay free forever. It's suitable for ages 12 and up. We cover the most useful and important German, which is 
all the words and grammar of the first level, A1. But also advanced learners benefit from it, because it goes much deeper than the standard A1 level. German Stories 
is one and a half years in the making, and it’s the most ambitious and unconventional German learning podcast yet. We hope you enjoy our show!
