Daily Easy English Expression Podcast

Today’s expression and dialog: to dump on someone

 

Shane, you’re NOT gonna believe what happened to me.

 

Sorry. Don’t dump on me now, I’m busy.

 

What? But you’re my boyfriend.

Right. I’m your boyfriend, not your psychiatrist.

 

I try to be a good friend...but one thing that I am NOT very good at is listening to my friends cry and complain and worry and hate... Listening to another person's drama...it's too much! I have my own problems~ Right? What about you? 

However, IF you are in a relationship, then you have to listen to your partner's worries and sad stories and horror stories and tragedies and dilemmas and...EVERYTHING~  

So, to "tell someone ALL of your emotional stories" is what we will learn today~ It's a phrasal verb and I think you will easily understand it! If you don't, then you can TELL ME HOW HORRIBLE today's expression is!!!

 

Have a super weekend,

Today’s expression and dialog: a slow jam

What’s your favorite slow jam?

Oh…so many. Um, Let’s Stay Together.

By who?

Al Green. It’s a classic.

Jam is something we put on bread...strawberry jam! I love it^^ What's your favorite jam? 

 

But what about..."to jam"? A verb! Well, one meaning of "to jam" is "to make music". When I hear "to jam", I think of rock musicians making music--loud music! Lot's of guitars, great drums and screaming voices!! I used to love it. But as I mature~~ I tend to like "slow jams" a bit more. What's a slow jam? I'll tell you in this podcast. AND, I'll tell you one of my favorite slow jams, too. I hope you make the effort and look up my favorite slow jam on YouTube. If you do, tell me if you like or not!!

 

Have a super FRIDAY~~ TGIF!

Today’s expression and dialog: put your best foot forward

 

My first day is tomorrow.

 

Well, put your best foot forward!

 

I’ll do my best.

I’m sure you’ll do just fine!

 

Do you like to start new things? As I get older, I do NOT like to start new things until I am COMPLETELY ready! When I was young, I was always eager to start something new! That's not always a good thing. There are actually MANY things that I want to do--I want to add classes, start my other podcast again, have LIVE hangouts, write more blogs, work with other teachers...but it's impossible. I need to have people working for me. I need to hire people!! 

But, when I do start something, I always start with GREAT ENERGY, GREAT HOPE, and GREAT PREPARATION! How can we say all three of those things in one simple expression? I'll teach you in today's podcast!

 

Have a great day,

Today’s expression and dialog: to crack someone up

 

George cracks me up.

 

He’s such a selfish person!

 

I know. That’s what’s so funny.

Well, I think he’s a jerk.

 

Do you smile a lot? Do you laugh a lot? If so, then people are probably very comfortable around you! But...if you smile too much or laugh too loud...people might not like that!! Then there is the person who NEVER smiles and NEVER laughs. Did you ever try to tell that person a joke? It's no fun! Did you ever try to tickle that person...it can be dangerous! That person's face is SOLID. It doesn't move. It would take an EARTHQUAKE to break apart their lips into a smile!!! For a person like me, it doesn't take any effort to break apart my lips into a smile! What does it take to "CRACK YOU UP"? That's today's English expression--a great phrasal verb!

 

Have a day full of smiles ^^

Today’s expression and dialog: savvy

 

Do you use coupons when you shop?

 

No.

 

Do you look for sales?

 

No. I just go and buy.

You are NOT a savvy shopper!

 

Today's expression is SAVVY! It is a SUPER common word that you NEED TO KNOW! I give you several examples in this podcast...but remember, if you REALLY want to learn English, you need to use it. You have to use the expressions that we learn and practice every day. English is like a muscle, if you exercise it, you will be strong and get stronger. If you don't you will lose it! That's why you need me, Coach Shane!! So, after you listen to today's podcast, leave me a message on Twitter (@coachshane) or on Facebook (eslcoachshane) or on our Let's Master English Google Community OR on our website (www.letsmasterenglish.com).  I want you to SHARE your learning!!!

 

Have a super week,

Today’s expression and dialog: to take a dump

 

Where’s Pete?

 

He’s taking a dump.

 

Excuse me?

Erm, excuse me~ He’ll be back in a few minutes.

 

There are SO many English expressions--some are nice, some are not. But...if you want to master the language, we should know as many as possible!! Why learn "bad" expressions? So that we know NOT to use them^^ 

 

 Today we will learn an expression that I do NOT recommend you use~ This is an expression that you will hear IF you watch American movies, if you read American novels...but it is not a "nice" expression. It is "to take a dump". We use it for people and pets. I tell you HOW to use it and WHY we use the word "dump"! 

 

Have a very nice day!

Today’s expression and dialog: writer’s block

I’ve got writer’s block.

What are you writing?

Dialogs for E-cubed.

Why don’t you…

 

When was the last time you wrote a letter? I mean, a letter to your grandma or your parents or your children? Texting and phone calls are so easy and so inexpensive, but...don't you think letters are so much nicer?! The last time I wrote a big letter was YEARS ago--I need to do that. However, I do write shorter letters--especially on birthdays or Mother's Day or Father's Day. Today I was thinking about what to write on the card I bought for my father--Father's Day is coming up soon. And as I was thinking...I couldn't think of ANYTHING smart to say! This happens--you WANT to write something good or nice or smart, but your BRAIN FREEZES!! Learn about this in today's podcast!

Today’s expression and dialog: a can-do attitude

 

English is so hard~

 

Come on! It’s not that bad.

 

It is. I don’t wanna study English~

Hey! You need to have a can-do attitude.

 

Do have any goals? Any dreams? I hope you do. Are your dreams "realistic" or are the a bit "crazy"?!! If one of your dreams is to get a perfect score on the TOEFL or IELTS...well, it's not very realistic. It's possible--but to be honest, most native English speakers wouldn't be able to get a perfect score! We need to have "realistic" goals. If your goal is to "be able to watch American TV shows without subtitles"...THAT is a very realistic goal! You can do it. Will it be easy? NO! Will you have difficult days/weeks/months? YES! Will you give up? You had better not. You need to have something important...what is it? I will teach you in today's podcast!

 

Have a super FRIDAY,

Today’s expression and dialog: to bail on somebody

Is Jim helping you with your English?

He bailed on me.

What happened?

As soon as we started, his girlfriend called.

 

Did you ever make a promise to help someone, but at the last minute CANCEL? It happens. We're human! Can you remember a time when YOUR friend canceled on you? I can. My friend Eric promised he would pick me up at 7 on Friday night and take me to a local football game. I was excited. I didn't know the local players and he was going to be able to tell me who was good and who was bad. I was REALLY excited. He arrived at my house at about 6pm. And then...his girlfriend called. "Do you want to go watch a movie with me? I'm bored. I miss you. I want to be with you~" Ugh~ He believed her! He went to her! He left me! All alone. No football. Nothing... Yeah, he BAILED ON me!! Learn that expression in today's podcast!!
