English Across The Pond

296 - Fluency Is A Myth

How does the idea of spending some time alone on a desert island sound? Paradise? At last, you’ll be alone with no 21st century distractions :) Or hell on earth? What about all the creepy crawlies and you’d be so lonely! :( Join your 2 hosts as they discuss the advantages and disadvantages of what life on a desert island would bring. A deserted desert island. Not a dessert island! Enjoy!

295 - Desert Islands

Hello and welcome to … chit chat! We are spending this week’s podcast talking about everything that we have been doing so far in 2002 so that we (and you!) can catch up with all our latest information.

293 - Looking (Past Favourite)

*A January Past Favourite Episode* This week your English teacher hosts Jennifer from the US and Dan from England are chatting all about public transport; buses, trains, trams and the metro / subway / underground. What’s the public transport system like in your country? Do you ever use it? Chances are that when you’re in an English speaking country you’ll be taking a ride on public transport at some point and so this week’s language focus, by focusing on relevant words and phrases, will help you navigate the process successfully. We hope you enjoy the journey!

292 - Public Transport (Past Favourite)

*A January Past Favourite Episode* Hello! No, we’re not talking about animals that we hate this week :) A pet hate is something that most people don’t mind but you find really annoying; for example, people eating loudly, tapping their fingers on the table or maybe speaking loudly on their phones. Your hosts Jennifer and Dan chat about their pet hates (they have lots!) as well as things they do that drive their partners crazy. The language focus this week is all about phrases you can use when you find yourself in these difficult situations and are not sure what to say. Enjoy!

291 - Pet Hates (Past Favourite)

*A January Past Favourite Episode* Today we’re talking about restaurants and more specifically, restaurant culture. Have you been to a restaurant in the US or the UK? Was it a very different experience from being in a restaurant in your country? Did you have any cultural problems? Listen to our natural native speaker chat as we discuss challenges we have faced while eating out abroad as well as offering lots of hints and tips to help you make sure your restaurant experience is less stressful and more fun filled. After the chat, the language focus goes into more detail about the best ways to make requests, order and communicate with the waiter or waitress in English. Enjoy!
