🎓 Join my weekly online group lessons
In this episode, we move away from culture and focus purely on language. I’ll teach you 5 everyday expressions that native speakers use all the time — but that you’ll almost never see in a textbook.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to talk about personal annoyances with a pet peeve
✅ Why Brits say I just needed to vent after a long day
✅ A vivid alternative to I realised with it dawned on me
✅ How to add emphasis or humour with thrown in for good measure
✅ And the playful phrase to steal someone’s thunder when someone takes your big moment
Each phrase is another step towards sounding more authentic, confident, and natural in English — no more robotic, textbook-like speech.
