Thanks so much for your corrections @Kerin ! I always struggle with hang and hung, ever since I was in secondary school!

Also thanks for your kind words, I find it hard to express myself when I’m writing so I’m glad to know I’m improving 🙂

Good evening Kerin, I found everything you said in your little podcast very interesting and I couldn’t stop but thinking that you’re actually the only English teacher that has openly told me not to worry about my accent.

Your anecdote about college brought back some pretty dark memories of my own, as I had a similar experience with a teacher…

Here is my attempt to turning the text into a more colloquial read. I tried to use my slangy words as much as I could!

I went to my mate’s house to watch the England game the other day. I walked in and said “What’s the story?” he gave me a beer and I said “Cheers”. England was mulled 4-1 to Germany. My mate and I were very…

Hi @Kerin , thanks so much for your correction! I did not swallow an English pill hahah the simple thought of it made me laugh! Can you imagine? It would be an easy way to learn new languages, but I think I’d miss the challenge!

Truth to be told, I have been reading a lot in English lately, and I am currently devouring the Bridgerton…

Slang is such an interesting topic I think I could talk about it for hours, but I will have to keep it short & sweet if I don’t want to be late for work!

If you’re wondering why I love this series so much, here’s a few reasons:

I currently live in a house with no TV, but I don’t really miss having one. I have grown accustomed to watching everything in my laptop. I usually watch series or movies during the weekend, as I spend most of my time in work from Monday to Friday and I live in a really busy house where I need to catch up with the news of my five housemates when…
