Witness the art of conversation in action in today's intermediate English conversation episode of Hear You Go.
The delightful Anastasia Sakarova, who you might know on Instagram as @heart_to_heart_english, joins me to share stories, teaching methods, and some thoughts about what makes a conversation a conversation.
You'll hear her talk about her early love of the English language, how she learns new vocabulary so that she uses it, and how active listening is really a key ingredient to having meaningful conversations.
English listening challenge:
This episode, while full of good stories and great ideas for learning, is also chock-full of idiomatic expressions that you can listen for. Keep those ears open!
If you'd like some guidance on what to notice in terms of language like phrasal verbs, advanced English vocabulary, or collocations, be sure to get the transcript when you receive my newsletter.
These resources will also help you practice your English reading.
Thanks for listening! Catherine

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
