    In everyday English conversations, we often use short phrases to express agreement or shared feelings. Three common phrases are "me too," "me neither," and "me either." While "me too" is usually easy to use, "me neither" and "me either" can be confusing for a lot of English learners.

    This lesson will help you understand how to use these phrases correctly and confidently. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the differences between "me too," "me neither," and "me either" and use these phrases correctly in daily conversations.

    I went to Central Park yesterday. Of course, it wasn’t my first time to go there. I have been to Central Park many times before.

    Recently, a lot of my students and followers have asked me about the difference between sentences like, I lived there and I have lived there. You may have heard these grammar patterns are called the simple past and present perfect. Well, if these have caused you confusion, you’ve landed on the right podcast English lesson. Today, I’m going to help clear this up for you. We’ll start off simple, talking about the simple past and then move on to the present perfect.

  • 752 - 6 Ways To Use While

    752 - 6 Ways To Use While
    Sep 16 2024
    While I was writing this lesson, I was thinking about the early days of my teaching career in Sendai, Japan. While living there, I had the chance to visit a lot of interesting places. While it was different from my life back home in New York, living there was quite an adventure.

    While is an interesting word in English, because it can be use as a noun, a conjunction, and an adverb. While you may think you know many of these uses, hopefully there is something new you can find in this podcast English lesson.

    751 - Phrasal Verbs For Education
    Sep 13 2024
    I went over my notes today and after reading over everything I found out that we haven't run through any phrasal verbs here in a while. Have we fallen behind, or is it just that I’ve been mixing things up.

    Phrasal verbs are a huge part of English, especially spoken English and today, I have a set of ten phrasal verbs that you can use to talk about education - learning and studying. Before we dive in, let’s listen to a conversation between two high school teachers who are talking in the teacher’s office at the end of the school day.
