Daily Easy English Expression Podcast

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! Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

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!

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!!

Today’s expression and dialog: no strings attached Did you sign up for the free DDM lessons? No. He’s just trying to sell his classes. Well, yeah, but the 8 lessons are free! No strings attached? None! A few days ago I signed up for an online course--it said: Sign up for 5 free video classes on "how to improve your internet marketing". Well, I signed up and they sent me one free video and it was okay...problem, it didn't really teach me anything. It was exciting, but...no real lesson. In order to get the next video, I had to answer three easy questions~~~ I did. The video, a little less okay. In order to get the third video, I needed to give my opinion on something...and SO ON and SO ON! It was ridiculous. I gave up. It wasn't worth my time. There were TOO MANY requirements. Yes, it was free, but not really! UGH~ What can we say in this situation? I'll tell you! Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to put it bluntly Have some of this! What’s this tea in a bowl? It’s soup! How is it? Be honest. Well, to put it bluntly…it’s flavorless. Does your mom cook? Is she good? My mom makes some really tasty dishes. My favorites are her spaghetti, goulash, beef stew, turkey and chicken...hmm-mm! Delicious. But...there have been meals that were not "really delicious"...but...am I allowed to tell her? Do I always have to say only nice things...can I be REALLY HONEST and explain what I didn't like about a particular meal that she made? Help me! What should I do?!! And...being REALLY HONEST...what is the expression that Americans would commonly use in this situation? I'll tell you in today's podcast! I hope you listen and use it! Use it on me!!

Today’s expression and dialog: (place) is a dump Let’s go eat at Earl’s Restaurant. No way. The place is a dump! But their hamburgers are SO good. Wha… Yeah, they really are tasty! Do you like moving? I do NOT like moving, but EVERY year I end up moving. No joke. Since 2008, I have lived in 6 different places. And...my guess, I will move again at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Money has been the biggest reason--working online only is NOT an easy place to make money!! But my next move will be because I need to escape the desert!! I need snow^^ My biggest fear of moving...hmm...finding a place that is a disaster. The plumbing doesn't work good, the heater/air conditioner doesn't work good. Loud neighbors. Too much traffic. CRIME... That is a major worry. If you find a place with TOO many bad things--what WORD can we use? I'll teach you today! Stay safe and clean^^Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to dump someone You look down in the dumps. Oh, man… I’m so sad. What happened? She dumped me. She dumped me for another man~ Have you ever had a girlfriend or a boyfriend that LEFT you? They broke up with you? Maybe it was your husband or your wife?!! Well...was it your fault? Did you do something wrong? Yes?? Good! But if it really wasn't your fault...if it was that person's fault...GOOD! Good for you and good for them. If they did something bad in your relationship and they left you like "garbage", then they will have REAL garbage in their future^^ Revenge^^ You, however, just keep being a good person. And one day, when you see another "good person", be ready. Grab that person and make a happy life together^^ Together we learn ANOTHER usage of "dump".

Today’s expression and dialog: dumpster Mom, where are my comics? I put them away~ Where? In the dumpster! What? No~~ I used to have a friend that lived in a VERY rich part of town. All the houses were huge, they had swimming pools, they had people who worked there and cars with drivers...it was a different world from what I knew~ I remember one time as we were going to his house I saw on the street a FULL SET OF FURNITURE for a living room! A sofa, chairs, tables, lamps, rugs...I asked my friend why it was outside--were they selling it? My friend told me that it was trash. I couldn't believe it! The furniture was in PERFECT condition! I told my friend to stop so I could check it out...he hit me. He said--Dumpster diving in my neighborhood? NO WAY!! Find out about "dumpsters" today!
