Daily Easy English Expression Podcast

Today’s expression and dialog: 

to eyeball something 

How many boxes are you going to need?

I have no idea.

Just eyeball your stuff and guess.

Um…twelve, maybe.

 

Are you good at guessing? If you look at someone, can you guess accurately how tall they are or how much they weigh? I'm NOT good at that. It's a skill. If I am lucky, in January, I will move. If I move, I will need to buy boxes for my clothes and books. HOW will I know how many boxes to buy? I will have to guess...I'm worried I will guess WRONG!! I will buy too few and then I will buy too many!!! Today's podcast will tell you the amazing VERB you need to know when you GUESS about the size or amount or number of something!!
Have a great day!

Today’s expression and dialog: 

lemming, sheep, sheeple

Dude, your phone is so old.

It still works.       

And when’s the last time you bought clothes?

I don’t need any.

Come on!

Hey, I’m not a lemming! I do things my own way.

 

Are you a leader? Are you a follower?
A combination is probably best. I don't consider myself a leader, but I guess that what a coach is--he leads his team. You are a part of my team. I want to lead YOU to victory! And when it comes to teaching, I'm not really a follower... I have my own style and I don't know of any other teachers who teach like me. I know that my Listening and Speaking classes are COMPLETELY unique...so, I hope, that's a good thing! I like NOT being a follower...but sometimes it makes me "lonely". Today's podcast is about NOT being a follower. You don't have to be a leader, but you don't have to be a follower, either!
Have a SUPER day,
Coach Shane

Those guys are so long-winded. How can you watch?

It helps me fall asleep!

Today’s expression and dialog: 

to chime in

I completely disagreed with John.

Really?

Yes! He was totally wrong.

Why didn’t you chime in?

 

Do you think your opinion is important? I hope you do! Do you freely tell your opinion to other people? Sometimes that is good, but sometimes it's not! To know WHEN to "tell other people" your opinion is really difficult. I don't know the answer. Sometimes I am happy that I spoke, sometimes I regret it. I can say this, NOT having spoke has caused me MORE problems than having spoke. Today's expression is about SPEAKING.
Have a super weekend!

to patch things up

Come to the game with us!

You and Sue are back together?

Yeah! We patched things up.

That’s great! We’ll join you!

 

Many people say that THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in life...relationships. What do you think? Do you agree? I thought chocolate was the most important thing! Money? English??!! You know...maybe relationships are the most important thing... How are your relationships? If you can think of a relationship that MIGHT need a little more work (to make it better), than today's podcast will be perfect!
Have a VERY HAPPY day!

Today’s expression and dialog:

for starters…

My English isn’t improving.

How are you studying?       

Books. Sometimes movies.

Well, for starters, you should be watching E-cubed every day!

 

Today's English Expression is VERY useful when you:
1. Give advice
2. Teach
3. Order food (or anything!)
4. Start something new
It's a really short phrase that you can use today!! I would LOVE to see your example--leave me a message!
Have a super day,

Today’s expression and dialog:

 

let it slide

I’m surprised to see you here.

Why?          

Your mom was SO mad at you the other day.

Oh, she always lets me slide! I’m her angel^^

 

A lot of ESL learners (English as a Second Language) start learning English by studying vocabulary and grammar. That's "modern Education"!! Some students do well, but most hate it! As an English teacher for almost THIRTY years (wow!!!), I have found this to be a problem. That's why I decided to teach "real English". English that "doesn't follow the rules". Pronunciation that doesn't "follow the rules". Following the rules is REALLY important, but when learning a foreign language, you discover native speakers are ALWAYS breaking the rules! For grammar lovers, you have to learn TODAY'S EXPRESSION!

Have a super day,
Coach Shane

Today’s expression and dialog: 

in a pinch

Problem. We don’t have buttermilk.

You got milk and lemon juice, right?

Yes.                     

Well, in a pinch, that’ll do.

 

I try to NOT eat food from restaurants and coffee shops, but sometimes, when I'm REALLY hungry and I don't feel like cooking or making coffee, if it is REALLY urgent...I can definitely eat at a restaurant or buy coffee from someplace like Starbucks!
In some situations, when you NEED to do something URGENTLY, you can't always "choose" the best option. You might have to choose "the second best" or even something worse. In these situations, we have a super expression! I'll teach you that today!
Have a super week,
Coach Shane

Yep. You wanna read it?

Maybe. How was it?

Short and sweet. You’ll like it.

 

Are my podcasts LONG and BORING? I hope not!!! Do you like LONG and BORING speeches? Of course not! What about LONG and BORING books? Movies? Almost everyone does NOT like LONG and BORING!!
So...what's the opposite? You'll learn today. You might be surprised!

Happy Friday!! TGIF!! Today I will teach you a word that, in daily English, has two VERY different meanings!! It's a great word to learn...and I recommend you use the FIRST meaning!! You don't want to sound...unintelligent, right?!

Today’s expression and dialog: 

to be gifted

What are you gifted at?

Sleeping!          

No, serious. Tell me!

Hmm… I guess I’m a very good explainer!

 

Some people have an AMAZING talent. Michelangelo was blessed as a sculptor, Stephen Hawking has been blessed with an amazing mind, Usain Bolt has been blessed with the fastest legs among men! If you believe in God, then you might say that God has blessed them. If you do not believe in God, you might say that the genes they received from their parents were perfectly aligned!
Well, we all have some special, natural talent that is particularly good for us. Have you found yours? If not, keep looking. I guarantee there is SOMETHING that you have...but we all must cultivate it and use it for good! I'll tell you mine in TODAY'S EXPRESSION!
Have a great day,

I missed you!! It has been a few days since I uploaded a podcast--sorry! But I'm ready to go again!! Today we will learn a very good PHRASAL VERB that you can use when things are moving TOO SLOWLY! Remember, when telling someone "to do something", you should ALWAYS be nice--you do not want to sound rude. The same rule should be used with today's phrasal verb!

thrift shop

New shirt?

Yep.         

Thrift shop?

How’d you know?

Just a guess.

 

Do you spend a lot of money on clothes? Not me! If I have to buy my clothes, I buy inexpensive stuff. But, usually, my mom or my friends buy shirts and stuff for me, so I look okay in my videos!! I just need to IRON my clothes!!
The only way I would buy "designer" clothes is at TODAY'S EXPRESSION. Have you ever bought anything at TODAY'S EXPRESSION?

Yes! I gotta cut through the clutter.

 

There is a lot of competition in the world. People compete for getting into good schools, they compete for grades, they compete for getting good jobs, they compete for higher salaries, they compete for good wives and husbands, they compete for time...LIFE is non-stop competition. And it probably always has been that way, but it seems really bad these days, doesn't it?! Well, how do we survive in this competitive world? The answer is in TODAY'S EXPRESSION. We need to sit down, think about WHAT we are competing in and who we are competing against, then we need to TODAY'S EXPRESSION!
It's not easy, but if you go step by step, you can win!

So, did you like the chocolate cake?

Huh? Oh…how’d you know I ate some?

Well, the chocolate all over your teeth was a dead giveaway.

Ugh~

 

I remember when I was a little boy, I had a great dog named Copper. She was a collie--a beautiful dog. Her and I went everywhere together. Fishing, swimming, biking, walking. She was my best friend. But one day when I got home after school, I knew something was wrong. My dog ALWAYS came to say "Hi!" to me, but she wasn't there that day. And when I saw my mom, I KNEW something was wrong. She was looking very worried. She didn't have to tell me; Copper was missing. After about an hour, the phone rang. I was outside but I looked in as my mom answered the phone--I KNEW everything would be okay. Her smile on the phone told me. And yes! An hour later, Copper was home! Today, learn a GREAT expression that's perfect for this story^^

Today’s expression and dialog: 

a no-brainer

My English is good, but I can’t hear what native English speakers say!

Yes. That’s why I joined DDM. It was a no-brainer.

Has it helped?

Are you joking?! I’ve improved SO much!

 

Some decisions in life are REALLY easy:
Shane, would you like to have some chocolate?
YES.
Shane, would you like to have some carrot cake?
YES!
Shane, would you like to have another kitten?
YES!
Shane, would you like to upgrade your camera?
YES!
Shane, would you like to go to a Def Leppard concert?
YES!
(I hope you agree...at least I hope you are smiling!) If someone were to ask me those questions, my answer would be automatic. I would NOT need to use my brain. Those questions...actually, the ANSWER to those questions are TODAY'S EXPRESSION!
Give me your examples and have a SUPER week!
