HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - Creepy story in English + Vocabulary

This episode of English with Dane is about something I think a lot of people need to hear. It's a topic that always seems to come up in different ways and so I wanted to share my thoughts on it. It's the idea of speaking like a native speaker. I think a lot of people have this as a goal when learning/practicing English and I'm not sure if is a healthy one. Are you setting yourself up to fail? Is it even achievable? Is it really important? This episode is about trying to answer these questions. Plus, we'll also take a look at to burn out, a phrasal verb that has also been coming up a lot in my life and which I also think is important for you to be aware of, not just from an English-speaking perspective, but from a general mental health perspective too. As always, I hope you find this episode useful!

Is it possible to speak like a NATIVE SPEAKER?

Before you listen, you should know that this is a particularly creepy episode of English with Dane. It's about a  moment in history that took place in Nebraska in 1983. Spoiler alert: it's about a killer. I thought I would bring back our  Today in History segment because these stories always seem to provide great new vocabulary to add to your arsenal. Plus, I think it's really cool to find out what happened on days like today but many years ago.

Listening Challenge & Strange News

How many words do you need to know to understand a language? Many students have asked me this and I'm sure it's also a question you have asked yourself at times. This episode is an answer to that question. I found an article by the BBC that I think is very interesting and that answers this question pretty well, so I thought I would share. It turns out that (resulta que)  if we know the 800 most frequently used word families (listen to the episode to find out what a family is), we can understand 75% of everyday speech. But, it gets more complicated than that. Check out the episode and let me know what you think!

Music and our Brains / NEW VOCABULARY / Article Read-Along

Phrasal verbs are a great way to become more fluent in English but people often shy away (phrasal verb alert) from learning them because they can be frustrating. I think the reason for this frustration is the fact they learn long lists of phrasal verbs that are often out of context, and therefore difficult to remember and even more difficult to use efficiently. That's why in this episode of English with Dane, we'll take a look at 5 practical phrasal verbs with "in" and make sure you understand them and can use them as soon as you're finished listening. This time we're taking a look at chip in / burst in / chime in / sink in & break in. So sit back and listen to episode 140 of English with Dane. Hit it!

5 Practical Phrasal Verbs with IN

This is a special episode because I had a chance to sit down and have a chat with my new friend Sam. We shared our perspectives on a bunch of different things related to English-learning like the idea of levels, what is missing from traditional teaching, our unique approaches and motivations, and much more stuff. I know it's a bit of a long one, but I honestly think there is a lot to get from it, so throw those headphones on and get into it.You can find Sam on TikTok as well as on InstagramSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/englishwithdane)
