In today’s episode, I want to talk about a very helpful idea for your English and your life. How to be more aware when Speaking English?

Being aware means that you notice what is happening—inside of you and around you.

You stop and ask:

  • “How do I feel right now?”
  • “What is my body doing?”
  • “Am I breathing fast or slow?”

Nowadays, when we say "g...

When we talk about houses together, we say town if it’s small and city if it’s bigger. But if those houses are organized in a somewhat chaotic way, you might hear about a slum or a shantytown.

If we focus on buildings in general, a group of them can form a residential complex. And if there are many homes in one place, we talk about a neighborhood or even a housing development.

Today, I want to teach you about collective nouns.

Today, I want to talk about something I use every day in my kitchen—my cast iron skillet.

A long time ago, I used different pans for cooking. Some were good, but they didn’t last long. Some had a nonstick surface, but after some time, it was gone. And some just didn’t cook food the way I liked.

Have you ever wondered how to find more time to do something? I ask myself that all the time. In fact, I think time runs away from me, and I don't have time to chase it.
