As you may know, politeness in English - especially in British English - is a very important thing. Learners often struggle to keep up with the confusing grammar and long sentences, so in this episode, I break down a few key phrases that you can start using today to make your questions and requests sound more polite.I go through each phrase one by one and explain how we use it, give an example anecdote from my own life where I could use it, and also end each section with a question to get you thinking.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast341--------------------Level 3 is now open and ready to join! 🥳🥳🥳Private coachingAudio lessons for busy peoplePronunciation & Writing feedbackBonus episodes➡️ Click here to join or find out more: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3/Be fast!

#340 Why Is Everyone Leaving the UK?
In this episode, I mix a serious topic with some fun where I talk about my reverse culture shock returning to the UK after one year while trying to answer the question why so many people are deciding to leave the UK and move elsewhere in the world.Despite being British, seeing my own country from the outside gave me some interesting realisations, so I share a lot of them in today's episode. This episode might have you thinking about the future and how our countries will look in a few years, but also questioning the habits and culture of your own country.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast340--------------------Level 3 is now open and ready to join! 🥳🥳🥳Private coachingAudio lessons for busy peoplePronunciation & Writing feedbackBonus episodes➡️ Click here to join or find out more: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3/Be fast!

#339 How NOT To Learn a Language
Inspired by a viral video of a Chinese boy doing his English homework, I thought I'd make an episode where I list 10 common mistakes that language learners make and what you should avoid.To be clear, I'm sure that boy will master English one day, and my comments were more of a criticism of language education in schools. The video simply reminded me of some of the mistakes I've made along the way.With that in mind, while I share my 10 habits to avoid, I also give examples when I've done these things in my own life. So let's learn together and see if we can learn more efficiently.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast339--------------Learn more about Level 3 Members: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3----------------------------------Level 3 is now open and ready to join! 🥳🥳🥳Private coachingAudio lessons for busy peoplePronunciation & Writing feedbackBonus episodes➡️ Click here to join or find out more: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3/Be fast!

#338 Overcoming Shyness (Anna, Confident Business English)
Today we have a conversation between Anna Connelly and me on the topic of overcoming shyness. This was originally an episode we record on Anna's podcast, Confident Business English, where Anna was mostly interviewing me about my experiences with feeling shy and my tips for the audience. Listening back to this one, I actually felt quite inspired, and I really hope that by re-sharing this today, you'll feel the same too.We talk about my story with shyness and how it affected me growing up, my rock bottom moment on my first solo-trip abroad, and the steps I took to start building confidence, which also helped me in my language learning.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast338________________________________________Don't forget to check out Anna's work on the links below.Website: https://confidentbusinessenglish.comApple Podcasts | Spotify________________________________________--------------------Level 3 is now open and ready to join! 🥳🥳🥳Private coachingAudio lessons for busy peoplePronunciation & Writing feedbackBonus episodes➡️ Click here to join or find out more: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3/Be fast!

#337 11 Things I Learnt Teaching English
I've been teaching English online for almost 10 years now, and over that time I've picked up quite a lot of patterns and similarities between all my students. In this episode, I share 11 life lessons and other interesting things that I've learnt from my students, my lessons, and running an online teaching business. This is actually a previously-recorded episode from the Level Up English Private podcast feed. It's the second episode I ever recorded, but since it has never been released publicly before, I hope it's new for you.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast337--------------------Level 3 is now open and ready to join! 🥳🥳🥳Private coachingAudio lessons for busy peoplePronunciation & Writing feedbackBonus episodes➡️ Click here to join or find out more: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3/Be fast!
