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

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
