My Top 3 Podcast Episodes

In April 2022 I started my podcast SmartEnglishCoach especially for people at an advanced level of English.

The podcast episodes are about 10 minutes long, and they’re short coaching sessions to help with English fluency and confidence. There’s a new episode every week.

So far, we’ve looked at mindset, strategy and learning tips. But what have been the most popular?

Here are the top three podcast episodes!

How learning slang can fill a gap in your English

I interviewed an American English teacher, Anne Haggerson, for this podcast. We talked about the advantages of learning slang, especially when you’ve already learnt a lot of English and would like a new focus.

Anne also shared where you can learn it, and what to be aware of when you study it.

The unexpected problems of being an advanced English speaker

This episode was inspired by the story of one of my students, who has found that her advanced English level can also cause some problems!

I talk about the three problems of being an advanced speaker (two practical and one psychological problem), and three things you can do to overcome the problems and continue your progress.

How to get confident with phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are one of the more difficult areas of English – but they are extremely important for understanding spoken English. In this episode I show you the ‘PVC’ method for understanding them, how to understand the grammar of them – and how recognising patterns helps you to use them.
