In this episode, we'll be talking about some patterns you can remember when adding UP to verbs.
Modem Futura
Here are some examples: cloud up, clear up, finish up, drink up, break up
One of the Level Up Members recently asked about the difficult part of phrasal verbs where we add ‘up’ to a verb and why we do this. I decided to make an entire episode about it because it’s not an easy thing to get your head around. Part 1 was Episode 224.
I decided to stop the episode halfway because 1 hour of listing phrasal verbs might be a tad boring. So let's finish up the patterns in today's episode.
I will add a complete lesson on Level Up English with a quiz and subtitles to help you understand. If you want to access this as well as join a global learner community to get access to all transcripts, group lessons, and many more courses.

On the private podcast last week, I chatted a bit about my experience in China and then ended on the idea of the benefit of being silly in your language learning. I thought it was a really interesting and potentially useful topic for people to hear, so I decided to turn it into a public podcast episode too.
Modem Futura
In this episode, I’ll be talking about reasons why you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously, and how inserting more silliness into your life can benefit you - both generally and to help your English learning.

I recently made a huge change in my life and I'm announcing it to everyone in this episode today. I'm going to talk a little bit about this change, why I made it, and some of my feelings about the future.
Modem Futura
I then talk about change in a more general sense and give you some tips (inspired by Atomic Habits) to help you in life and language learning, as well as some useful expressions related to change.

Do you know how to use the word 'dear'? A lot of people get confused with this term, and honestly the answer isn't as simple as you may think, so let's look into that today.
I'll cover the ways in which we use this word and why you might not want to say it to strangers.
This is a re-share of a video I posted on the English with Michael YouTube channel, so thanks for your patience with me during this busy time!

I had a listener question about Phrasal Verbs and why some of them use prepositions even though the meaning seems to be the same without them.
Modem Futura
Can we say "Check it" and "Check it out"? What's the difference?
I break down this question in detail and also talk about the difference between literal and idiomatic phrasal verbs.
I hope you learn a lot today in this useful and information-packed episode.

I got a question about adding "UP" to certain verbs and this learner wanted to know more. As I did more research, I was plunged into a rabbit hole of research and it turned out to be much more complicated than I first realised! I decided to try to tackle this topic in a podcast episode.
Modem Futura
Because there's a lot to talk about, this is just part 1. If you like this episode, let me know! If this one goes well, I'll do my best to make a part 2.
In this episode, I talk about what a phrasal verb is, how 'up' can change the meaning of verbs, and 4 different grammar patterns you can learn to help you understand these words.

Today I'm answering a question I hear all the time - How long until I get fluent in English?
Modem Futura
How many months or years until I can be done?
I answer this question in detail today by responding directly and also questioning back as to whether this is the best attitude to have in language learning.
Don't miss this one!
