  • #354 Talking About the Weather English
    2025/09/11

    Let me ask you something: what’s the easiest way to start a conversation in English?
    If you said the weather, you’re absolutely right!

    It doesn’t matter where you are—London, New York, or Paris—at some point, people will always talk about the weather. And it makes sense, right? The weather touches everyone’s life. If it’s sunny, people feel cheerful. If it rains, people complain. If it snows, kids celebrate while adults worry about traffic. It’s a safe, easy way to connect with others.

  • #353 Summer or Winter? It Depends Where You Live
    2025/08/28

    It’s the end of August, and in many countries in the Northern Hemisphere — like the U.S., Canada,France, Spain, or Japan — that means one thing: summer is ending. The days are still hot, but soon the air will cool down, the leaves will change color, and fall will begin.

  • #351 False Friends Every Romance Language Speaker Should Know #2
    2025/08/15

    Last time, we talked about false friends—words that look similar in English and your native language, but mean something very different.

    Get the text on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/351-false-friends

    Example 1: Actual

    This one’s a classic false friend.

    In Spanish, “actual” or in Portuguese “atual” means “current” or “present.”

    But in English, “actual” means real or true — not “current.”

    So if you say:
    👉 “My actual job is very interesting,”
    you probably mean: “My current job.”

  • #350 False Friends That Confuse Romance Language Speakers
    2025/08/08

    Hi! I want to talk about something that can really help you understand English vocabulary better — especially if you speak a Romance language like Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, or Romanian.

    These languages all come from Latin — you know, the language spoken by the Romans a long time ago. That’s why we call them Romance languages.

    You might find it helps connect the sounds and the spelling—or just gives you more confidence.
    And one last thing before we jump in:

    Even if it feels like you’re learning slowly… you’re not.
    Small steps really do add up.

  • #348 Little Women - Learn Grammar in Context
    2025/07/25

    Today, I want to tell you about a book that I really love—Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott.

    To be honest, it’s one of my all-time favorite stories.
    It’s warm, emotional, and full of life. I’ve listened to the audiobook version, and what makes it extra special is that it’s a full-cast recording. That means each character has a different voice. It’s not just one person reading the book—it sounds more like a movie. And it really brings the story to life.
