My podcast is aimed at just having a nice relaxing time listening to some English, hearing stories whilst occasionally learning idioms, phrases and grammar points as we come across them.

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.

粤语中的「第四声＋第四声」音调组合（Tone Pair 4–4）对母语是普通话的学习者来说常常很难掌握。因为粤语的第四声和普通话的第三声在音高上很接近。但普通话中有「变调规则」，比如“洗脸”（xǐ liǎn）常常读作“xí liǎn”，学习者习惯了一个字自动变成第二声。在粤语中就没有这种变化，所以连续发出两个低降调的音会让人不习惯。本集我们将一起练习这些容易读错的发音组合，进行短时间而集中的训练！

English Version :
Tone Pair 4–4 in Cantonese can be tricky for Mandarin speakers because the pitch of Cantonese Tone 4 is similar to Mandarin Tone 3. However, Mandarin has tone sandhi rules where Tone 3 changes to Tone 2 in words like 洗臉 (xǐ liǎn → xí liǎn), so Mandarin speakers aren't used to keeping two low tones in a row. In this episode, we’ll tackle this challenging pair with short but focused pronunciation practice.

Great lesson about personal finances! In this lesson we'll learn to use top-level, modern, and professional terms that relate to money. I also include "cool" trendy vocabulary and expressions that you don't find in textbooks but hear in English-speaking business organizations nowadays. We'll discuss differences in spending, saving, and investing habits within various generations.

14_Selbstfahrende Autos

(A)  Ob es uns gefällt oder nicht: Selbstfahrende Autos werden kommen. Für die meisten Menschen ist es eine EIGENARTIGE Vorstellung, in so einem Auto zu sitzen. Man hat das Gefühl des Kontrollverlusts und das ist den wenigsten Leuten angenehm. Dabei sagt eine STUDIE, es könnten 90% der tödlichen Unfälle vermieden werden, wenn keine Menschen am Steuer säßen. 
(B)  Was aber soll man in einem computergesteuerten Auto tun? Nun ja, man könnte sich entspannen, man könnte in Ruhe lesen, man könnte PLAUDERN, man könnte sogar am Laptop arbeiten. Bei einem hohen Anteil von selbstfahrenden Autos wäre auch der Verkehr besser zu kontrollieren und damit würden die LEIDIGEN Staus der Vergangenheit angehören. 
(C)  „Ja, aber was ist, wenn die Technik ausfällt?“, fragen die Kritiker. Und immer wieder kommt die Frage mit dem Kindergarten-Ausflug und dem Spaziergang der Bewohner eines Seniorenheims: Gegen wen sollte sich ein selbstfahrendes Auto entscheiden, wenn eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist? Aber so weit sind wir noch lange nicht. Und man könnte alle Kritiker darauf hinweisen, dass Flugzeuge schon längst autonom fliegen.

The Chinese grammar AA的(de) where the adjective is duplicated is a common pattern used to describe people or things. In this episode Karen and 柏威 take a deep dive into this structure.

Every billionaire in the world who is under the age of 30 has inherited their wealth, according to new research by Forbes magazine.

Forbes recently published its World's Billionaires List. And all 15 people on the list who are aged 30 or younger did nothing to create their wealth — they simply received it.

According to Forbes this is the first time since 2009 there have been no self-made billionaires aged under 30. And the magazine says it's a sign that a "great wealth transfer" has begun from aging billionaires to the younger members of their families.

The youngest billionaire on the list is 19-year-old Livia Voigt of Brazil. She is worth $1.1 billion thanks to her late grandfather, who founded the electrical equipment company WEG Industries.

The richest of the young billionaires are the Mistry brothers, Firoz, 27, and Zahan, 25. They are each worth $4.9 billion thanks to their shares in the multi-industry Indian company Tata Sons. They inherited their wealth from their father, who died in a car crash in 2022.

Among the 25 youngest billionaires on the list — who are all aged 33 or younger — a few in their early 30s are self-made. However, just one of those self-made billionaires is new: 33-year-old Shunsaku Sagami of Japan. Sagami is the founder of M&A Research Institute, and is worth $1.6 billion.

One self-made billionaire who is still fairly young at 34 is Taylor Swift, who is worth $1.1 billion. In 2023, she became the first musician to become a billionaire mainly from the money she makes from her music.
