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.

La Fayette, We Are Here!
Maybe you should have started when you were a child, or still in school?

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'.
La Fayette, We Are Here!
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.

Fabio Cerpelloni chats with me on the podcast today around the topic of his new book: 'Any Language You Want: 18 Conflicting Lessons for a New Kind of Language Learner'.
A collection of contradictory true personal stories in answer to "What's the best way to learn a language?" In each of the 18 chapters, Fabio -- a language learner and teacher -- shares a story about how he mastered English, his second language, and tells you what's the best way to learn another language.
In this episode, we discuss some ways to learn English and why it's not as simple as you might think. I'm sure you'll leave, however, feeling inspired, motivated, and with some new ideas on how to best master this language.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast268

In Episode 255, we spoke about Linking.
La Fayette, We Are Here!
In Episode 262, we spoke about Elision.
Now, in Episode 266, we're talking all about Assimilation.
This is the 3rd and final part in our connected speech series, where I look at how spoken English can change the pronunciation of certain words. If you want to speak with a natural British accent, then this is essential to know.
In this episode, I'll be looking at times when the sounds of words change so they become easier to pronounce. I'll be doing this while answering questions and sharing my views on them, and I invite you to join in as well.

Acronyms are words that use the first letter of each word in a phrase. NASA and LOL are two common examples from very different areas.
In the age of the internet, acronyms are now a part of everyday writing and reading, but did you know some are also used in speech?
In this episode, I go through some really common everyday acronyms that you need to know and follow each one with an example from my own life.
I also end with a list of some more casual texting acronyms that are useful when casually writing to friends.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast265

Do you love the rambling episodes? Well this might be for you! Today, I go over my recent trip to Japan and discuss some of the things I did, but mostly reflect on the language experience I had there.
Learning Japanese, it was great to go back and practice. In this episode, I share the positives and the negatives and tie it up into some takeaways that should benefit all language learners.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast263

Textbook English is different from spoken English, and a big part of this comes down to pronunciation and how things are said in real conversations.
This is Part 2 in my series on pronunciation, where we first looked at Linking in Episode 255, and now we're looking at Elision. These are both features of connected speech that share some similarities.
In this episode, I share an example of elision followed by a question or challenge for myself that I also ask you (the listeners) to do as well!Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast262

I get a few requests to continue my series on Phrasal Verbs, and specifically, I had one recently to cover phrasal verbs that use the verb 'turn'.
I thought of as many common ones as I could and made a list, and then I went through my memories to recount some memorable travel stories from my life. While doing so, I used these 'turn' phrasal verbs in a natural context.
I encourage you to do the same too! Practice like this is the best way to learn.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast261

Dylan (from the YouTube channel British Education) joined me for a fun games session today. We're using games to have a conversation and practice English, and we encourage you to play along too. If you have a teacher or language partner, we also encourage you to try these games for yourself.

We actually recorded for about 2 hours together, but I cut it down a lot to fit into this week's podcast. We played 20 Questions, Would You Rather, Riddles, and 2 Truths and a Lie.
We also spoke for a long time about travel, language learning, and self-improvement, but this was cut out of the episode. I'm posting the full conversation on the website for members. Click below to join!

Since this episode falls on Valentine's Day, let's discuss the topic of Love and Relationships.
I'll be basing this episode around a group class I taught before where we discuss some questions related to relationships, such as having a long and happy marriage, and how to break up with someone.
I also have the help of Chat GPT who gives some brilliant advice for all relationships out there. There will also be a few phrases you can use to talk about relationships . I'm sure at least one will be new for you.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast259
