395. "Have you ever...?" with Paul Taylor and Robert Hoehn

In this episode I-m joined by Paul Taylor and Robert Hoehn and we do a speaking exercise that I often use in my classes to help my students to practise using different grammatical structures in their speaking. I thought it would be interesting to record some native speakers doing the exercise too, so that-s what you-ll hear in this episode, as well as various little anecdotes, a few jokes and general chat. The conversation contains swearing and a few humourous comments which shouldn-t be taken too seriously.

394. OPP: Other People's Podcasts (Part 4)

Here are some more of my favourite podcasts. You might like to listen to them too, even if they-re difficult to understand because they-re not specifically for learners of English. It-s good to challenge yourself sometimes, so why not try listening to these. If I like them, you might like them too.

392. What are the most essential skills of a good foreign language learner?

This episode is full of what I hope will be more useful insight and advice on how to learn English as an adult so that you don-t end up sounding like a robot, because you-re learning English or at least maintaining your English and it-s a long-term process, there are right and wrong ways of doing it and I want to support you along the way. The main aim of this podcast is to help you stay on track as you continue to develop your English, trying to find new ways and improving the old ways so that you get a grip on this language. This episode represents not just my ideas but also the thoughts, conclusions and recommendations of plenty of other linguists and polyglots who certainly should know what they-re talking about because they-ve either studied the process of language acquisition or they-ve learned multiple languages themselves. Contained in this episode is a distillation of lots of experiences, research and common knowledge about language learning, including my own thoughts and practical tips which I-ve picked up after 15 years of teaching English as a foreign language. I hope this will be a motivating, inspiring and interesting episode for you to listen to as part of your English learning journey. So, let-s go.
