In Episode 255, we spoke about Linking. In Episode 262, we spoke about Elision.Now, in Episode 266, we're talking all about Assimilation. This is the 3rd and final part in our connected speech series, where I look at how spoken English can change the pronunciation of certain words. If you want to speak with a natural British accent, then this is essential to know. In this episode, I'll be looking at times when the sounds of words change so they become easier to pronounce. I'll be doing this while answering questions and sharing my views on them, and I invite you to join in as well. Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast266Level 3 is coming to Level Up English this August! Click here to claim your 60%! Be fast!

I get a few requests to continue my series on Phrasal Verbs, and specifically, I had one recently to cover phrasal verbs that use the verb 'turn'. I thought of as many common ones as I could and made a list, and then I went through my memories to recount some memorable travel stories from my life.  While doing so, I used these 'turn' phrasal verbs in a natural context.I encourage you to do the same too! Practice like this is the best way to learn.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast261Level 3 is coming to Level Up English this August! Click here to claim your 60%! Be fast!

Dylan (from the YouTube channel British Education) joined me for a fun games session today. We're using games to have a conversation and practice English, and we encourage you to play along too. If you have a teacher or language partner, we also encourage you to try these games for yourself.We actually recorded for about 2 hours together, but I cut it down a lot to fit into this week's podcast. We played 20 Questions, Would You Rather, Riddles, and 2 Truths and a Lie. We also spoke for a long time about travel, language learning, and self-improvement, but this was cut out of the episode. I'm posting the full conversation on the website for members.

Since this episode falls on Valentine's Day, let's discuss the topic of Love and Relationships.I'll be basing this episode around a group class I taught before where we discuss some questions related to relationships, such as having a long and happy marriage, and how to break up with someone. I also have the help of Chat GPT who gives some brilliant advice for all relationships out there. There will also be a few phrases you can use to talk about relationships . I'm sure at least one will be new for you.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast259Level 3 is coming to Level Up English this August! Click here to claim your 60%! Be fast!
