A to Z Dear Jack 22 | "Budgeting Blues"

Dear Jack,I'm in a committed relationship, and we've been talking about taking the next step and moving in together. However, when it comes to finances, we have different approaches. I'm more frugal and believe in saving for the future, while my partner tends to spend more freely. This has become a point of contention, and I'm worried about how we'll manage finances when we share a household. How can we navigate this difference in financial values and ensure a harmonious cohabitation without constant money-related conflicts?Thank you,Budgeting Blues"Frugal" refers to a lifestyle or approach characterized by careful and economical use of resources, especially money. Frugal individuals prioritize saving, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and making wise financial decisions. Being frugal doesn't necessarily mean being cheap; rather, it's about being mindful of spending and finding ways to maximize value and minimize waste. Frugality can be a positive trait for individuals who want to build savings, invest wisely, or live within their means. It often involves making informed choices about purchases, budgeting, and adopting a sustainable and cost-effective lifestyle."Contention" refers to a state of conflict, disagreement, or debate between individuals or groups. It involves a strong disagreement or opposition regarding ideas, opinions, interests, or actions. When there is contention, there is often tension or strife, and differing parties may express their disagreements openly or through various forms of dispute. Resolving contention may involve negotiation, compromise, or finding common ground to reach a resolution. It's a term commonly used to describe situations where there is a clash of perspectives or interests, and efforts are needed to address and mitigate the disagreements.Podcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-22-budgeting-blues/Social Media:WeChat account ID: atozenglishpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

A to Z Dear Jack 20 | "Lost in Prepositions"

Dear Jack,I'm a college student from another country trying to improve my English, and I'm facing a challenge that's making me feel a bit overwhelmed. I often struggle with the correct use of prepositions in sentences. It's confusing when to use "in," "on," or "at." I don't want to sound awkward or make mistakes when speaking or writing, but I'm finding it hard to master this aspect of English. Do you have any advice or tips to help me navigate the tricky world of prepositions?Sincerely,Lost in PrepositionsDear Lost in Prepositions,Firstly, kudos to you for tackling the intricacies of the English language! Prepositions can indeed be a tricky maze, but don't worry—you're not alone in this journey. Here are a few tips to help you navigate the world of prepositions:Practice, Practice, Practice: Incorporate prepositions into your daily conversations and writing. The more you use them, the more natural they'll become.Pay Attention to Context: Prepositions often depend on the context of the sentence. Is something located physically, or is it more abstract? Understanding the context can guide your choice.Learn Phrases, Not Just Words: Prepositions often pair up with certain verbs and phrases. Instead of memorizing prepositions in isolation, learn them in common phrases. For example, "depend on," "interested in," or "good at."Read and Listen: Exposure to English in different contexts—whether through reading books, articles, or listening to conversations—can help you absorb how native speakers naturally use prepositions.Seek Feedback: Don't be afraid to ask native speakers or your language instructor for feedback. Constructive criticism is a valuable tool for improvement.Remember, language learning is a journey, not a destination. Celebrate your progress, and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. You're doing great, and soon prepositions will become second nature to you!Best of luck,JackPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-20-lost-in-prepositions/Social Media:WeChat account ID: atozenglishpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

The A to Z English Podcast | Would you rather receive a really expensive gift that someone bought for you or receive a really thoughtful gift that someone made for you?

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack discuss whether they would rather receive a really expensive gift that someone bought for them or receive a really thoughtful gift that someone made for them? Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we've got and would you rather question and social today's would you rather question is, would you rather receive a really expensive gift that someone bought?00:00:30JackFor you or receive a really thoughtful gift that someone made for you.00:00:39JackWow, Jack, this one is hard. And because I know that you're going to answer the thoughtful route, at least that's what I think. I know I'm going to go against the grain here and say I'd rather get a really expensive gift.00:00:53JackOK.00:00:54JackBecause a gift that was made for me is going to be an item that is going to take up space in my house and I have so many things already at my age, I don't really need.00:01:06JackAnything else that I can think of, and when I think of a expensive gift, I think something like.00:01:14JackSome memory building gift like like a flight or a some money or something that I can use however I want, which I would put towards traveling and I think that that would ultimately be more valuable to me because I would have those memories forever.00:01:34JackAnd it wouldn't just be something that's like losing value with time. In fact, those memories will be so special in more time.00:01:41JackAnd you could document them with photos, because everyone's got a phone with a camera.00:01:46JackRight, exactly. So how about you, Jack? How do you feel?00:01:51JackI I mean, I like that. You, you. You.00:01:53JackBring this up a lot, but it's it's really important. The experience gifts, you know, like you.00:01:59JackYou talk about that.00:02:00JackA lot I could tell that.00:02:01JackLike you're that left a a big impression on you. The last time you had your when your boyfriend gave you that, that gift of the.00:02:10JackExperience trip. And so I think I really like a huge advocate. Now of that, I really like that because I think we have too much stuff.00:02:21JackHowever, if I had to choose between an expensive gift like a thing, not an experience, and.00:02:30JackAnd some and a gift that someone made for me.00:02:33JackI'll, I'll take.00:02:34JackThe the thing that someone made for me. So you're right. You you called it correctly.00:02:40JackYou know, if someone.00:02:41JackEspecially like like if someone made me a jacket or a.00:02:46JackPainted me. Uh, you know up.00:02:48JackPortrait or something like that.00:02:50JackThat those are so they're unique. Like there's only one of those in the whole world and and usually when people do that, it's not just like.00:03:01JackI'm not a painter, and I'm gonna paint Jack of of.00:03:05JackA portrait? Yeah. It's people who are very skilled at what they do.00:03:11JackAnd then they.00:03:12JackAnd then they then they use that skill, that trade to make something for you. So whenever I've gotten those kinds of gifts that people made, it's it's from people who are professionals that making stuff. So they might be like.00:03:27JackYou know, one of their hobbies could be making leather wallets or leather belts or something like that, and they can put the design in it. And so if someone takes the time to make that, those are the best. I I love those those items and I love. I love wearing those kinds of items like when they're.00:03:47JackWhen it's clothing, because people will compliment you, be.00:03:52JackLike, where did you buy? Where did?00:03:54JackYou get that belt I like. That is so cool. And you're like, no, you can't buy in the store like this is a one-of-a-kind, you know? And I I love those kinds of items. I think they're so cool.00:04:05JackAnd yeah, because it's unique. So that that's my my feeling. But if it if, like I said like what you said if I had an experience opportunity, I think those are great because you're helping the local economy, you're not, it's not gonna, it's not an item that's going to end up in a garbage pile.00:04:26JackYou know it's it's it's very eco friendly. So I think the experience gift is an amazing choice as well.00:04:34JackYeah, I agree with that.00:04:37JackBut I do like your perspective as well, Jack, where you you know, it is something that generally when someone's making a thoughtful gift for you, it's like you said, someone using a skill that they have to make something really incredible for you. I do remember when I was in high school, I had a friend who she could make, like, duct tape wallets that are really cool.00:04:57JackAnd she made one for the band that I really liked at that time.00:05:03JackAnd gifted that to me for my birthday and it was really nice. I still have it to this day just because I'm so flattered and happy to get it. So I I do. I do see the value in.00:05:15JackThat as well.00:05:17JackBut yeah, let us know guys, what do you think? Would you rather have a thoughtful gift that someone made for you or an expensive?00:05:23JackGift that someone bought for you.
