We make decisions every single day - some of them little ones, and some of them huge life-changing decisions.

I'll be sharing some really useful expressions you can use when deciding between two things, while giving my own stories and examples for each one as well. This way, you can see how the expressions is used naturally, and I'll also encourage you to share or think about your own answers to each question.

Meg (Mega Language Coach) joins me for a second episode and this time we talk about inclusive language.

Inclusive language is a way of speaking that includes other people and doesn't leave people out based on their ability, gender, personality, or anything else. It's a small shift you can make in your language to sound nicer.

We talk about whether you can say "guys" when talking to girls, the difference between he, she and 'they', and also why people don't often say "police man" anymore.

In the second half of the episode, I challenge Meg to a game to fill in the blanks in common expressions, and I invite you to join in as well.

In a more adventurous episode, I challenge myself to cycle alone from Seoul, South Korea all the way to the coastal city of Busan, and eventually end up in Fukuoka, Japan. Can I do it? Can I make it to the end without destroying my body? Join me to find out.

In this episode, I'll be sharing my experience of the cycle trip, including planning, advice for those who want to take on similar challenges, and sharing useful vocabulary for English learners along the way.

I highly recommend watching the video version on YouTube or Spotify for this episode since I'll be sharing almost 1 hour of footage from my cycling, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while I talk.

Being able to talk about the past naturally in English is really important to sounding natural, and in this episode, we explore the use of "Used to" and "Would", which can both be used to talk about past habits that are no longer true.

There is a small difference between them, and understanding this can make your English sound much more natural.

I explain the difference, and give several examples from my own life to illustrate it. Of course, I invite you to do the same. In the shownotes comments below, leave your own answers.

I go through a varied list of different opinions that I think the vast majority of people will disagree with - perhaps even think I'm insane for having them! For each opinion, I share some words and expressions, and I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Are there any that you actually agree with me on?

Andrew from Culips English Podcast and Michael talk about things with wish we knew earlier in life and share some big regrets.

A relaxed, honest conversation with personal stories and some moments of self-reflection that includes topics of finances, life choices, skills, language learning and health/exercise.

It's also a great opportunity to practice some grammar structures such as "I wish I had", so be suer to answer these questions yourself too for practice.
