After  Boris Johnson?s resignation, the UK?s new Prime Minister is Liz Truss.  There?s a lot going on in the country at the moment, and today we  investigate what kind of leader she will be and what kind of history she  has. So let?s have a conversation about British politics while you do your English listening practice.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/conversations-in-english-pm-liz-truss/

Liz  Truss is the new British Prime Minister, and she has a lot to deal  with; Brexit negotiations, Ukraine, and energy prices (Which have gone  crazy!). Join us as we talk about what type of leader she will be and  what kind of history she has.

English  it should be easy, and interesting. My name is Hilary and I know you  can dramatically improve your English language learning by listening and  immersing yourself in spoken English, and also having some fun.  Hundreds of thousands of English language learners keep coming back to  listen to our lessons every month. Why not listen to our lessons and see if what we do helps you to learn English?

As always with our English lessons,  we make them interesting to keep you engaged in the lesson. Listening  to today?s English conversation is going to help your English language  learning, you're going to be improving your English comprehension, your  vocabulary. You might learn new English phrases, grammar or just  something about British culture and the way an English native speaker  would talk in an everyday conversation

Today we test your knowledge of the UK and have a go at some British citizenship test questions. We take a few minutes to test your knowledge  with example questions from the test. Then we go through what the  answers are so you can see how well you did! So come on, take the test with me and see if you could become a British citizen!

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/learn-english-language-citizenship-test-part1/

The United Kingdom has been around for a long time. The people, culture and even geography of the union have grown into a hotchpotch of history. And more recently, if you want to become a British citizen,  you need to learn that history and pass a test. Even if you don?t want  to become a citizen, the test is really interesting, anyway!

So in this English lesson we are going to practice listening to English, while we learn some  historic facts about Britain, its culture and geography. As always,  along the way, you will get to hear lots of English vocabulary and  phrases being used in everyday English conversation to help you listen and learn.

I hope you enjoy this lesson and please check out my other English lessons here on YouTube and Spotify.

The reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends. Today in our English listening lesson we talk about why Queen Elizabeth II was so popular and we say our goodbyes.

Few  people can lay claim to being able to shape history, and fewer still  can lay claim to being able to shape history for so long. I know history  has a habit of repeating itself, but I feel it is unlikely that we see  another Queen Elizabeth II in the twilight years of the British commonwealth.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/conversations-in-english-queen-elizabeth/

Modern  media shone a bright light on the British monarchy in recent years, and  much of what we have discovered has been uncomfortable to watch.  However, not so for Queen Elizabeth II and her mother. These ladies were  different, dignified with a strong sense of duty to the British  commonwealth. We will miss them both.

A letter, written in English by a teenage girl in Afghanistan, is the topic for today?s English listening practice.  It?s a solemn reminder that there are many who are not as fortunate as  us and that education is a gift that not everyone receives.

One  thing that really struck me about this letter is how much it reminded me  of studying history at school. How people, in the past, could not go to  school because they were poor or because they had the wrong skin  colour. That denying people an education was a "Thing of the past". To  think some parts of the world are still like this is a reminder we still  have a lot of work to do.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-afghani-girl-education/

It?s  difficult to really understand the problems of people who live  thousands of miles away in a strange country with different customs. But  there are some things, basic things we can all understand, the need for  food, safe homes and looking after and educating our children.

I hope this lesson helps you to learn English today. I also hope it makes you think about a little girl a thousand miles away.

This  natural, English conversation is an opportunity for you to do some  English language listening, and improve your English listening skills.  If you?re new to English, this is a great opportunity for you to learn  how to speak in everyday English and get used to hearing native speakers  using different words and expressions.

Listening is a great way  to see what parts of the English language you?ve learned and practice  understanding what you don?t know. In today?s English lesson,  the conversation is a more natural, relaxed way of talking (I won?t be  using academic vocabulary here, just talking in everyday English).  Listening to this type of English conversation helps you with everyday  English, as any native English speaker might use it in the UK.

Today I?m going to share some useful ideas and tips for learning English. You?ve come here to improve your language skills, so today I have some practical tips and a philosophical idea that will help you improve your English language learning.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/learn-english-language-efficiently/

If  you want to learn English efficiently, then you need to focus on the  following; settings goals and consistently working towards those goals.  First, you need to set realistic goals, objectives that fit with your  lifestyle and circumstances or you will change your lifestyle to  accommodate. Next, you need to be consistent in working at achieving  your goals, constantly working towards improvement.

Sounds  simple, right? Goals and consistency. So why do so many language  learners set unrealistic goals? You know the get excited, and I will  watch a few "Learn English in 3 hours..." on YouTube and I?ll be speaking English fluently, type goals. And people who set these types of unrealistic expectations then double down and think cramming and binge watching or reading for a day will somehow make learning English happen.

Your  brain is amazing, but language learning needs a lot of long-term memory  training. This type of long-term memory storage gets activated through  repetition and consistency. Today we explain why making regular "little  and often" progress towards real objectives is a safer, more efficient  approach to learning a language, and we give lots of examples and tips  as we talk it through.

English language learners, especially people new to our way of learning, often ask what kind of English listening practice do I recommend listening to. The answer I nearly always give is to  listen to something that interests you, something you would listen to in  your own native language. Engaging and wanting to listen and hear the  conversation is one of the biggest boosts you can give to your English  listening practice. As you can guess, I?m back from my short Swiss  holiday and it?s back to the business of great English language content.  Today?s podcast is a juicy topic and should definitely make you stop and think!

You?ve  probably noticed that the costs of just about everything is going up.  This is true of the costs of running Adept English. If you like what we  do and you would like us to continue making great English language  listening content, then please help us with a donation or by buying one of our great English language courses. Thank you.

There  are a lot of ?big? questions in our lives; What makes us happy? What is  love? Where do we come from? What is our purpose? And you may not think  it just now, but up there at the top of the "life big question list"  is, What happens when I die?

Most of us don?t spend a lot of time  thinking about death. We are too young for it to seem relevant, or old  enough that it scares us into not wanting to think about it.  Unfortunately, death is one of the few guaranteed outcomes in our lives  and it?s probably worth thinking about. For many people, religion and  their beliefs help deal with the unknown. But what comfort is there for  everyone else? Well, scientists are collecting some interesting and  hopeful evidence that there is something beyond death. That should give  some comfort to everyone, and I imagine the believers will smile and  say, ?I told you so...?.

Today?s  news in slow English is all about the future of living, maybe not for  us but for our children. It?s not the headline news in the UK, that?s  all about inflation, cost of living, who will run our country, which is  all a little boring. So I?ve chosen a news story, off the beaten path,  and it?s packed with interesting English phrases and vocabulary that is fun and interesting to know. If you like books or films about science fiction, then you?ll like this.

So  I?m back from France, it was lovely. The journey was horrible, with  delays and lots of unforeseen problems, but it was worth it. I hope you  found and listened to a podcast lesson from the many available. So let?s get started and keep on improving your English language skills.

I  think most of us have a pretty clear idea of what home is and the type  of building we will live in. For most of us, it will be a house or a  flat in a block of flats in a village, town or city. This is the way  it?s been since the beginning. So what would you think about an  alternative way of people living together? I can?t even imagine  something different. The thought is so alien to me. So the news article  I?ve used as the basis of today?s English lesson is definitely  interesting and definitely thought provoking.

In this English lesson we talk about the price of money, how loans work and lots more. Financial jargon and statistics can confuse new English language learners. So we use lots of examples to help explain English money and economic  terms to help you understand some of the more common phrases that are  used in business and interacting with banks. This type of English vocabulary and phrases will help you follow English financial news reporting and deal with things like banks and loans.

I covered the UK cost-of-living crisis in podcast 534,  and if you haven?t listened to that one yet it would be a good follow  on lesson to this one. We all have to work with money, deal with banks  and loans. So understanding the common economic vocabulary used in  everyday English is really worth learning. This is especially useful if  you are looking to take an IELTS exam, as IELTS examiners like to hear  money and statistical terms being used correctly and understood.

As  with any language, understanding the context in which we use words will  help you more quickly grasp their meaning. The English language has a  lot of terms that are used in business and economics. Understanding the  meaning and usage of these will help you communicate more effectively  with others, as well as understand what they are talking about.

An easy to follow English lesson about an idiom used when you invest a little of your time, to you save far more. Time  is a precious commodity. It?s the one thing we can?t get more of, unless  you live in a sci-fi movie. We?re all busy. We all want to save time.  And that?s what this idiom is about saving time by spending it wisely. I  explain it all with the help of an interesting cautionary tale.

Today?s  idiom is one I used after a minor disaster in my garden. In this lesson  we talk about English idioms, how native English speakers would use  these idioms in everyday English. As always, there are lots of examples  and an interesting story to help you remember the idiom and any unusual  vocabulary.

The English language has lots of idioms that offer  wisdom on how you invest your time or money. For example, ?penny wise  and pound foolish,? which means that you?re being cheap when it comes to  saving money, but that?s costing you more in the long run. If you spend  a little time now to save lots later, then that?s not being penny wise  and pound foolish

And what that means for us  aging humans. So join us and learn to speak English with our fun listen and learn approach to language learning.

Ageing  is something we?re all intimately familiar with, although most of us  try to avoid thinking about it! When we think about getting old, we  focus on the symptoms, a wrinkle here and ache there, less hair and less  energy. Well, today we look at the other end of the problem, the causes  of ageing.

Today we look at some advanced English vocabulary.  You know the sort of English words and phrases that turn up in  newspaper and magazine articles? There is a common problem, where  English language learners who understand most spoken and written  English, find radio and TV news, newspapers and magazines hard to  comprehend. If you want to understand the English news, this podcast English lesson is a great place to start.

This  lesson will help you level up your English comprehension so you can  follow the news in English. We have lots and lots of other free English  lessons focused on phrases, idioms and listening comprehension practice here on our adeptenglish.com website. We also have some outstanding English courses designed to help you with your English language learning to use exactly the same listen and learn method you will listen to today. So take a look here. You never know,  it might be the push you needed to get your English fluency.

This  change in the type of English language used is because news and  magazines writers often use idioms and phrases to imply a meaning or an  idea to make content engaging. They need to entertain the  reader/listeners to make money! It?s the type of English you avoid in  everyday conversations, because you would sound very stuffy and formal,  and you probably don?t want your audience to work too hard understanding  what you are trying to communicate.

Today our English listening practice topic is about depression, anti-depressants and serotonin. A recent research paper says serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression! So wait a minute, the primary treatment we have to help people with depression targets serotonin,  and serotonin has little or nothing to do with depression. How could we  possibly take so long to discover something this fundamental? With so  many people taking these pills, there is a lot to talk about.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-serotonin-depression/

Anti-depression  medication affects the people who take it. Otherwise, why prescribe the  drugs to so many people and for such long periods of time? People will  tell you that anti-depressant pills have helped them, but whatever is  going on medically is now being questioned by some heavyweight medical  research from University College London. Of course, this ignores the  elephant in the room, and that is the side effects of taking this type  of mind-altering drug over long periods of time.

When I say a lot of people take these pills, I mean millions of people in Britain alone! The Lancet published data from NHS Digital showing that 70.9 million prescriptions  for antidepressants were given out in England in 2018, compared with 36  million in 2008. No wonder the anti-depression pill market is booming. The global antidepressant drugs market in 2020 had a value of 15.6 Billion USD and they project it will reach 21 Billion USD by 2030. It?s a substantial business if you are one of the 5 major players that dominates this market.

Now  tell me that this English listening lesson isn?t engaging! We want you  to want to listen to the content, to make it worth the struggle to  understand the English vocabulary.

Hi there. In today?s English speaking practice podcast, I?m going to look at two different parts of English fluency. Did you know that there are two types of fluency? Mental and physical. We are going to explain both types of fluency, and  share with you some easy to do exercises that will help you improve  both mental and physical fluency.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-practice-physical-fluency/

I?m  often asked, what is being fluent in spoken English? What does it look  like? I?d say that it looks like someone who can join in on an everyday  English conversation with native English speakers. Where you can keep up  with the comprehension speed necessary to stay in the conversation. And  you can join in at any time to add your views. It?s getting your spoken  English fluency to a level where your speaking is on autopilot.

To  me, that?s what spoken English fluency looks like. A level of spoken  English where you are not consciously thinking about translation and how  to form words. Once you reach this level of proficiency with your  English language, you can really focus on expressing your ideas and the  content of what you want to say rather than the technical details of how  to say it.

So working on your English fluency, until your ability  to speak or write without hesitation or repetition, has to be a big  part of your English learning. And working on both types of fluency is  part of that. Mental fluency is the ability to think quickly and clearly  and recall vocabulary and phrases as you need them. While physical  fluency is the ability to move your mouth to achieve the correct sounds  in a natural and effortless way. You need to work on both to achieve  fluency.

Test Your English Grammar - Do you make these mistakes?

Today we talk about 2 grammatical errors. Errors so common even native English speakers don?t realize they?re making them.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/grammar-english-2-common-mistakes/

It is a challenge when you are learning English for the first time, because you often look at books for the answers, but books often ignore the real world grammar use of native English speakers. Native English speakers have bad habits, native English speakers often bend English grammar rules, to sound cool, or communicate more quickly or just because that?s the way everyone expects to hear English spoken in 2022. Common grammar mistakes have infiltrated our communication so thoroughly that they are truly part of the language at this point.

Even if you think you know everything there is to know about English grammar, you?re wrong. The English language has incorporated and inherited a lot of grammatical oddities from a lot of languages from around the world. English grammar gets confusing even for us teachers. So if you are learning English as a second language, you will make mistakes with your English grammar. It?s inevitable. Accept this and don?t let the fear of sounding odd hold you back.

I?d also say that making grammatical errors when you speak is less problematic. If you are trying to communicate something and you make a few grammatical errors, the listener is almost certainly going to understand what you are saying. Getting spoken English grammar wrong just makes you sound a little clumsy, it highlights your a learner, and that may or may not be something you want.

It's hard to stay motivated when learning English. Adept English is here to help you learn by making English interesting,  not boring. In this English listening practice lesson, we talk about  one of the many things that makes the UK different from much of the  world. The National Health Service, anyone in the UK, would call it the  NHS. A system of health care that is free at the point of access for  everyone in the UK. Sounds amazing, right? Who wouldn?t want free  healthcare?

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-nhs-2022/

Does that sound like the start of a boring English  lesson? I hope not. That sounds like something you would listen to just  because it?s interesting, right? We know the more interesting the  lesson, the more you will learn. Traditional English lessons are  notoriously boring, difficult to keep your eyes open boring! You won?t  find that here with us. Interesting is as important as our great English  language content. If you want to learn more and have fun doing it,  subscribe to us and start listening now!

With the NHS, it?s not quite that simple. The UK spends more on the NHS than defence, education, transport, police, housing, environment,  industry and agriculture. The NHS offers world leading care in some of  its services, but in many, the real world experience is not world class.  Even simple things are hard to get solved, and it can be a fight to get  diagnosed and treated in the NHS in 2022.

Although this approach  to national healthcare is much cheaper than most systems. It?s not  cheap. It costs the UK an eye watering amount of taxpayer?s money every year. In 2007, the UK government?s annual spend was £587 billion pounds, and £111 billion of that, around 20% was on the NHS. More recently, in 2021, the UK government's annual spend was just over £1 trillion pounds, and nearly 20% of that was just on the NHS.

When learning to speak English clearly, tongue twisters are great practice. Tongue twisters will help you master the art of correct diction by exercising the intricate muscles in your mouth. This type of  exercise forces you to slow down and think about how you are going to  shape your mouth to achieve the sounds you need. Tongue twisters are  difficult but can also be fun. If you're watching on YouTube or Spotify,  then you also get to see me struggling to say them.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-words-properly/

You use your  mouth muscles to form the sounds needed for words. Normally, your brain  is in autopilot mode. You don?t even think about what you need to do to  create a word sound. This is great for your native language, but it can  cause problems with a second language. With a new language, you need to  achieve unfamiliar sounds that might not exist in your native language,  or you will need to change sounds because spoken English needs this.

You  can use Tongue twisters to train the muscles of your mouth, just like  going to train at the gym. It helps you speak English more precisely,  and it helps speed up how quickly you find the sounds you need to  pronounce English words. Forcing yourself to say difficult word  combinations in a new language does two things.

You  won?t find it easy. Native speakers find these difficult, so practice  until you can say these tongue twisters loudly and clearly. Have fun  with it. This is a great way to improve your English speaking.

English phrasal verbs explained. Today, our journey through the many possible phrasal verb combinations continues with the verb fall. We explore the most common use of fall in a phrasal  verb, with lots of examples. I?ve included a short quiz at the end of  the lesson so you can check if you have grasped the multitude meanings  of fall as a phrasal verb. Please start listening before we fall out  with each other, and take the quiz at the end of the lesson to check  you?ve got it. I hope you spotted that phrasal verb!

Phrasal  verbs are a hard part of the English language. There are lots of  phrasal verbs and we native English speakers use them all the time.  Examples include "fall asleep", "fall in love with" or "fall out with" -  the meaning of which can change depending on the context of your  intended use.

The only way to  learn phrasal verbs is to hear them being used in useful examples, and  to understand what the implied meaning is and ultimately remember them.  There are so many you really don?t want to learn them all, so as usual  we have chosen the most common ones, the examples you are most likely to  hear in an everyday English conversation here in the UK. This makes  your English language learning time more efficient and relevant. You can  say thankyou by clicking the like button!

In this listen and learn English podcast we will explain some unfamiliar words and phrases used in the workplace here in the UK.  It doesn?t matter if you are serving coffee in a Starbucks or trade a  currency desk in Goldman Sachs, practice as a local Doctor or clean an  office. If you work in the UK, you will encounter a new workplace  culture in 2022, and it comes with an English vocabulary all of its own. So listen to today?s English lesson and find out how working in the UK is changing for everyone.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/common-english-words-uk-workplace/

Learning  English workplace phrases is a good way to feel confident about  starting a new job. There are a lot of new jobs, the UK currently has record numbers of work vacancies. That means there are a lot of companies looking to  employ people. But working in the UK has changed a lot, and companies  expect a lot of their staff. The days of hiring someone and reviewing  performance in 12 months time are long gone. Now you can expect to  watched and measured a lot more often.

Well,  there isn?t much we can do about that except explain what has changed.  Talk about the English words and phrases you might expect to hear being  used, and explain what they mean with examples. So we can at least  prepare you a little for what to expect.

Continuing with this week?s English speaking theme, in this English lesson we are going to make sure people who are listening to you speak, understand what you say in English. There is no point learning a new language, if when you come  to speak it nobody understands what you are saying. This lesson will  not only help IELTS speaking test students, it will help all English  language learners, even students who can speak English well.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-consonant-pronunciation/

There  are a lot of things that can get in the way of speaking clearly in  English. How difficult the move from your native language to English  depends on your native language. Your native language may not have some  sounds we expect you to use in your English. You many have a native  language which uses English spellings or sounds differently. Your  accent, pronunciation intonation all affect your spoken English clarity  and ultimately, if an English listener will understand you.

The  good news is we can fix any problems with some explanation. Once you  know what English language problem sounds and spellings to look out for,  you are more than halfway to fixing any issues you are struggling with.  With a lot of listening and some speaking practice, you will soon make a  big difference to the clarity of your spoken English.

If you find today?s lesson helpful, please look at our pronunciation course here.  It?s a complete deep dive into helping you identify any pronunciation  problem areas, and lots of listening and speaking practice to fix them.

I  buy a Sunday newspaper every week, however most weeks I?m just too busy  to sit down and read. So it wasn?t until mid week I actually had time  to read the headlines, and a few interesting articles. Only the articles  were nearly all 'Bad news', I mean new wars, old wars that never seem  to end, stocks and shares crashing, crypto currencies are collapsing,  inflation is rising, food scarcity is a problem, taxes are going up and  monkey-pox is a thing.

So today, we?re going to ignore all of that, because we are here to help you learn to speak English fluently.  We are going to focus on the positives. Your English language skills  are improving. We all love cake and we want to know more about popular  British cakes. Don?t we?

We like to keep our English listening practice about contemporary issues, things real world people in the UK are  talking about. Although the UK government and media talk about the 'Cost  of living crisis...' they are not really talking about what that  actually means for real people. Today in your English listening practice  podcast you will get to hear what British people think, and are actually saying about the cost of living. If you listen to the end of the podcast, you will find some practical things we British are doing to save money.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-fuel-price-shock/

The ONS says that the average working person in the UK takes home £611 per week, or approximately £31,772 a year. Now the good news is this is the most it?s been in a long time. The bad news is the cost of essential items (things we need to live) mean that even  this record average income is not enough to pay the bills and live a  normal life in the UK.

We are  paying almost twice what we used to for heating gas and electricity,  taxes are the highest they?ve ever been, the cost of food is up, the  cost of fuel is up, the cost of borrowing (Mortgages) is up, cost of  transport, utilities like mobile phones, TV all up.

Authentic everyday British greetings: This is a fun English Speaking practice podcast that teaches you the polite greetings used in everyday UK life.  It?s broken into sections, each one focusing on a different scenario.  In every section, there are a few ?Hello? focused conversations designed  to let you hear these practical everyday greetings in action! And if  you're from the USA or ?Down under?, I do some awful impressions at the  end of the podcast!

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-practice-hello-greetings/

When we start out using a new language, we  lean on words and sometimes overuse them. They are safe words. We have a  good understanding of these words and they get the job done. There is  nothing wrong with this approach, but at some point you will want to  move on to a more expressive and nuanced way of speaking, which takes  into account who you are speaking to.

In today?s English speaking practice lesson,  we take a very common event ?greeting someone?, and through examples we  show many examples of how this might change depending on who you are  talking to and your relationship with them, even what time of day may  change what you choose to say.

I hope this podcast gives you the courage to move on from certain go to easy and safe  words. It?s really important that once you have a solid grasp of one  area that you take a risk and start experimenting with the richness of your speech and vocabulary choices.

We can all learn from the recent trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.  Johnny Depp and Amber Heard?s trial is raising awareness about domestic  abuse being a two-way street. If you want to learn how to speak English conversationally, then this podcast is a great place for you to practice following an English conversation.  I think you?ll find my conclusions don?t match the views of most of the  online commentary.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/conversations-in-english-johnny-depp-vs-amber-heard/

The best way to learn English is by listening  to native speakers. By listening in, you will improve your  comprehension, your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary and learn  great phrases you can use too. Don't forget to check out our new English  pronunciation course, a great way to improve your British English pronunciation.

To  be honest, initially I was completely unaware of this trial. It was  only when some of my clients asked me what my view was did I take it  upon myself to find out more. I was hooked almost immediately. It?s  amazing to have a deep look into the lives of two very wealthy and  privileged people. To see the world as they see it, and to learn that  they are as vulnerable to relationship problems as us normal people.

I think there is a lot of interesting English vocabulary used in this podcast.  Specifically, words you would find in a legal setting. It?s the type of  vocabulary you would hear if you were watching legal or law and order  TV dramas. I also think the trial shows some ideas like #metoo, as well  meaning as they are, are being undermined by being overused. Lots of  interesting conversation points to keep you engaged in your listening practice

Hello, and welcome to this English listening practice podcast. Today we are talking about the British Queens Platinum Jubilee  2022, while we improve your English listening skills. In this lesson,  you will learn all about the UK monarchy while you learn English. The  important thing for successful listening practice is to listen to a lot of authentic material and familiarize yourself with the patterns and the feeling of it. And  if you have a sweet tooth, listen to the end to find out about an  amazing pudding!

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-queens-2022-platinum-jubilee/

There is one thing that Britain is still pretty  good at, and that?s putting on a royal parade. All we need is an excuse.  This year is a Royal Platinum Jubilee for the Queen. With much  controversy over Prince Andrew, and intrigue over Prince Harry choosing  his wife over royal life and living in the USA. The British Royal family  has definitely been the focus of a lot of unwelcome media attention.

Even  with great TV shows like ?The Crown? the British monarchy has been  struggling to prove that it is still an asset to the British people. So  it?s time for some ?feel good? positive attention to justify the  privilege, and the costs of keeping a monarchy in a modern democracy.

We keep our lessons really interesting! The more you listen, the more you improve your  comprehension, the easier it will be to move to speaking English  fluently. Through this podcast you will learn unfamiliar words, new expressions and better understand  English grammar. Have fun learning English with no classroom stress or  pressure!

You will find that a little bit of English listening each day goes a long way. Yes, even if you?re on your way to work, at the gym, cooking a meal, listen to this English language podcast every day and you?ll soon see that your knowledge and confidence with the English language will increase.

When  you learned your first native language, all you did was listen and  watch. You certainly read nothing and you certainly didn?t know about  grammar or pronunciation or accents. You just had someone close to you  sit down every day and talk, maybe play, and slowly your amazing brain  built an understanding of language. After a lot of listening,  you eventually practiced saying things, copying what you were hearing.  If you were lucky, you also had someone spend a lot of time lovingly  correcting you. Everyone on Earth goes through this process, and most of  us are successful.

Now young children have some advantages when  they are learning languages. Young brains are amazingly adaptable,  building new neural networks at a crazy rate. But us oldies have some  advantages as well. We already understand many of the lessons young  children need to learn from nothing. Being older doesn?t mean this  listening approach to learning a language is not possible, it just means  we can be more efficient in our learning. So what?s your excuse? Start listening to the language you want to speak. Immerse yourself in the cadence, the  pronunciation, the accents, the vocabulary you will need to know to  speak this new language.

Today we have an English listening practice lesson about news in the UK. Listening to this podcast will improve your English listening and comprehension skills by  immersing you in the language. Listening to the news in English is good  for conversations, IELTS and TOEFL. In fact, it?s great listening practice, no matter what your objectives are!

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-uk-news-may-2022/

We  have had some positive comments on the new video format. If you haven?t  watched the new video version of the podcast, you can watch on Spotify and YouTube.  We build the transcript into the videos, so you follow along as you  listen. It?s a more sophisticated version of closed captions. You don?t  need special software and we highlight each word as we speak it. It?s karaoke for language learners.

We  have had some minor issues with the dual recording of video and audio,  but mostly the move over to video and audio production has gone to plan.  Let us know about your experience. We aim to keep the same great audio  quality and English language learning content our podcast listeners  expect.

I think each new version of the podcast is getting better  and better, so hang on in there! If you spot a problem or have a  suggestion, please help us by sending in an email or leave a comment on  YouTube. We try to read and respond to them all. We really want to hear  from you.

English language learners often struggle with the English grammar concept of conditionals. In this lesson, I?ll explain the 4 conditional types in a straightforward way, along with examples of each type and its use.  As a bonus, there is even a quiz at the end of the lesson to check you  have improved your understanding.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/esl-english-grammar-4-conditionals/

Given there are only 4 types of  conditional, you would think it is a pretty simple topic. Just learn the  4 types and it?s done. But as we often find in English grammar, the devil is in the detail. There are so many potential use cases for conditional types you can feel overwhelmed.

So in this English podcast lesson,  we start with making sure you understand the rules for each type. So  you have the tools to understand any use of conditional you might come  across. Even if you?ve never taken an English grammar class, you?ll be  able to follow my logical explanations and examples.

Today, you?ll get the opportunity to practice your English listening skills with a podcast that uses natural conversational English.  The topic is about my pet cats and a trip to the veterinary service.  You will pick up lots of useful vocabulary and get an insight into pet  ownership in the UK.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-uk-vet-visit/

Talking about everyday topics, in a natural  conversation, is a great way for you to learn about life in the UK, a  little about me while you improve your English listening comprehension  and pronunciation skills. Training your brain to listen and understand spoken English is a critical part of making the move to speaking English.

If  you can listen and understand a conversation in real-time, without  translation. Then that will free up a lot more time for your brain to  plan and say what you need to say when it comes time to speak. We all  acquire language using listening skills,  the way you learned your first ?native? language as a baby. The better  you are at listening, the easier it will be to speak English.

A  quick note about our move to producing videos and audio podcasts. If you  are a regular listener and notice some changes in the audio quality as  we move over to video and audio production, don?t worry. I noticed them  as well. Having perfected the production process for audio only  podcasts, it?s been quite a learning experience to produce video. I  think these recordings are better than the recordings last week, and next weeks will be even better. Thank you for your patience

In this video podcast, I will explain idioms with the English word ?leg? in them. English idioms are an odd part of the English language, and not knowing about them can  catch English language learners out. The best way to deal with them is  to focus on the popular ones, the ones you are more likely to hear in an  everyday English conversation. Today I?m going to break each idiom down  into understandable parts and give you lots of examples. There is even a  quiz to test yourself at the end.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-idioms-leg/

Now, before we get started, you  should probably know a little more about the learning approach we use  here at Adept English. There is a lot more going on when you listen to  one of our podcasts. You can find out more about Listen and Learn on our website. We will help you learn consciously, and our Listen and Learn method will help you learn unconsciously too.

If you don?t listen/watch us on Spotify or YouTube,  you probably don?t know it, but we have a new video studio. Behind the  scenes, we have started video recording our lessons at the same time as  we record the lesson audio. From a podcast listeners point of view, we  hope very little has changed, lots of great English language learning  content to listen to as you commute to work or go out jogging. For the  people who can watch us. The enormous advantage of video is we can build the transcript right into display and deliver more value to our audience.

We still think of ourselves as podcast first and video second. But we have to move with the times and our audience,  and one of our goals is to help as many people as possible learn to  speak English. Making our content available on new platforms for new  English learners has to include video. We are definitely learning as we  go along. If you spot a problem or have a suggestion on how we can improve what we are doing, please let us know in the YouTube comments or via email, our email address is at the footer of every page on our website.

English has some words which sound similar when you say them, and can even have the same spelling, but have a different meaning. Today we are going to talk about homonyms in our English grammar lesson, what they are, and why they are problematic for new English  language learners. As usual, we provide lots of English listening  practice to help you spot them and avoid confusion when you communicate  with people using them.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/parts-of-speech-homonym/

Some of you may have noticed our first video podcast on Monday. The idea is to publish the same great English lesson you expect to listen to but also include video, and a better follow along transcription built into the video.  It?s a new process for us and there are a lot of technical changes to  getting the lesson published. We?ve had a lot of positive feedback, and  if you have ideas, or problems, then please send us an email to tell us  about your experience. If all goes well, we will publish video/audio  podcasts from now on.

English grammar doesn?t need to be boring! There are lots of interesting things to learn about homonyms. Listening to this podcast several times will help your store what you learn in your longer term language memory. We recommend you use spaced repetition as part of your listening process. So once you?ve finished listening to the podcast,  why not add a reminder with siri to play the podcast again in a few  days, then maybe a week?s time. The next time you listen, think about  what you didn?t remember, ask yourself why?

This lessons audio MP3 can be downloaded from our website,  and you can get the full PDF transcript for free on the website as  well. If you don?t fancy a lesson on grammar, we have lots of podcasts  to choose from here.

Today?s English speaking practice lesson, the topic I?m going to talk about is the concept of empathy.  And because this is Adept English, you can increase your English  vocabulary while also bettering your pronunciation and listening comprehension. So that?s the advantage of our listen and learn method, all you have to do is listen to improve your English fluency.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-practice-topic-empathy/

I  really encourage you to think about adding "Listening Practice" to your  English language learning routine. It?s a free and easy English language learning method that gives very good results.

So  what is empathy? If you?re thinking, it sounds like an emotion, and  that?s correct. Empathy is the ability to understand and share in  another person?s feelings. If you want to connect with someone, see  something of yourself in them. You understand them on an emotional  level, and that?s called empathy.

This  is my first video podcast, and I?d love to hear what you think about  it. How I can improve it? Leave comments on YouTube or send me an email.  You can find contact details at the bottom of our website here

Modal  verbs are everywhere! They are a big part of speech in the English  language. Frankly, in English we use them so much that after a while  they become invisible to us native speakers. Which is why we need to  make them visible again. That?s what today's English podcast is all about. Start learning English grammar the easy way, through listening.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/parts-of-speech-english-modal-verbs/

If you are learning to speak English, you know modal verbs are an essential component of the structure of a language,  because they enable us to carry out actions or show our attitude  towards something. Something we will all want to do at some point in a  conversation. But it can be quite difficult to understand when you come  from another language.

So the  modal verb ?could?, if used in conjunction with another verb, will  change the meaning of the sentence. For example, in the sentence ?Billy  could eat like a horse,? the modal verb ?could? is used alongside the  verb ?eat? to change its meaning by implying that Billy has the  capability to eat a lot.

As always, the best way to learn this  type of verb modification is to hear them being used. So today we have  lots and lots of practice sentences which walk you through how modal  verbs can and should be used to bring your English conversations alive.

Today we talk about living costs, rising energy bills and the impact of this on people?s lives. Whether you?re preparing for IELTS exams or just want to learn some new English vocabulary, we fill our podcast with tips and advice that will help you enhance your English-speaking skills.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/learn-english-language-fluency/

The  cost of living in the UK is going crazy. I?m sure it?s the same for  you. Petrol per litre has gone from £1.15 to £1.76. My food shopping was  about £100 a week for 3 people and 2 cats, now it?s about £145, for  nearly the same things. My gas bill has gone up 3 times, and it?s now  85% more expensive, but we?ve used less to keep the costs down. It?s  happening for everything though, my son?s computer chair broke (OK he  broke it!) I tried to buy the same chair on Amazon, and it was nearly  50% more, and it?s only a year old.

Talking in English about interesting topics is a great way to improve your English listening and comprehension skills.  Humans love a good story, and we have developed to keep this type of  ?story? information in our longer term memory. The more relevant the  story to our survival, the more likely we are to store the information.  So our podcasts take advantage of this.

If you want to speak  English fluently and confidently, you are going to need to listen to  lots and lots of English being spoken by a fluent English speaker. Here  at Adept English we provide you for FREE!, all the English listening practice you could want. We have hundreds of interesting English listening practice podcasts ready for you to listen to right now.

Today we are going to look at a memorising technique that uses music. We are going to see how you can apply this powerful learning approach to making learning English vocabulary and phrases easier. Music is a fantastic way to get new vocabulary into your brain.  It?s an easy way to improve your English vocabulary and fluency. This  is a method that I have found to be really effective and at the end of the podcast, I discuss the facts that support why it works.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/common-english-words-musical-memory/

You  will often hear us talk about repeat listening and spaced repetition as  the go to learning technique for improving your English language  comprehension. But we don?t talk as much about techniques for learning  English phrases and vocabulary. So in today?s English phrases and  vocabulary lesson, we are going to talk about things you can do to help you with remembering lists of common English words, like the days of the month, days of the week, etc.

If  you are new here, welcome! I?d like to mention that we have a principle  here in Adept English, a principle of only learning useful English. The  English you need to hold a fluent English conversation in the UK today.  We avoid using dry old English books with vocabulary and phrases you  just don?t hear being used in everyday English conversations.

We  are all busy people, and our time is precious. We want you to be  efficient and spend your English learning time as effectively as  possible. It?s why we have a course which helps you focus on the 500 most common English words, which make  up around 80% of all the words you would use in a conversation with just  about anyone right here in the UK today.

The point is, you learn  the vocabulary you need first and then move on to specialist vocabulary.  You don?t learn about English vocabulary for flying a plane if you?re  only ever going to work in a hotel or drive a taxi. You might want to  learn plane specific vocabulary eventually, but you would definitely  want to learn the 500 most common words first. And then learn hotel or  taxi specific vocabulary and then finally you're going to invest the  time in learning about planes.

Today we are going to look at the differences between British English and American English pronunciation.  Do you really want to sound more like James Bond, Benedict Cumberbatch,  and Daniel Craig than a mix of Bill Murray, President Obama, and Ben  Stiller? If you want to sound more British when you speak, rather than  American, then this podcast will share some secrets that will help you understand why we sound the way we do.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/practise-english-pronunciation-british-vs-american-accent/

Of  course, there are many wonderful British accents, and there are a lot  of lovely American accents as well. I?m going to give this lesson using  my accent. I would class my accent as contemporary received  pronunciation RP, which is just a way of saying I speak using an accent  you would hear in and around London and the South East of England.

My  accent is a clear and correctly spoken accent, so it?s a good place for  ESL (English as a second language) learners to start. It?s the sort of  accent you would want for your spoken English to be understood around  the world. If you want to sound Scottish or Welsh or Irish, or want one  of the many lovely regional accents to be found in the UK, then this  probably isn?t the lesson for you.

I know I say this a lot, but I think it?s important. Ultimately, having an accent when you speak English should not matter.  But accents, especially strong ones, can sometimes impede people  understanding what you say. As a new language learner, you probably  don?t want any additional barriers to being understood. You will  definitely adopt the accent from your English language teacher, and it  won?t be easy to correct later on. So knowing that should help you make a  more informed decision about what accent your language teacher has, and  whether that matters to you

A podcast to help you learn English naturally and improve your English listening skills.  Today we learn why we poor humans suffer more from fight or flight and  why having a clever brain isn?t always an advantage. So while you learn  new English vocabulary, build your long term English language memory and  work on your listening comprehension, you will also gain an interesting  insight into how we humans work at a mind and body level.

If  you?re wondering why an English conversation about body and mind is  going to help you learn to speak English fluently, then you?re probably  new to Adept English. So firstly hello and welcome. Our approach to  language learning is through language acquisition, an approach you?ve  already used and know works, because it was the approach you used to  learn your first ?native? language as a child.

We use the same  proven approach you used for your first language to help you learn new  languages. One of the most important aspects of this type of learning is  lots of repeat listening. Most people will only listen to something several times if it?s interesting. So all of our listen and learn podcasts are about interesting things.

Being  self aware is a very good first step to reducing unnecessary stress and  anxiety. If you don?t know why something is happening, you are going to  struggle to come up with a plan to help solve your problems. I love  understanding why we behave the way we do and today I?m going to share  with you a brief insight into why we humans do what we do, even when  it?s not good for us.

We often regard our human brains as one of  the most complex objects in the known universe. No other physical  structure can rival its capabilities. But despite all its astounding  powers, it has its fair share of flaws. We discover in today?s show, our  paranoia and anxiety are more prevalent than any other species?,  because our fight-or-flight response kicks in when there is no real  danger.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-takes-how-long-to-learn/

I?ve noticed recently a trend on the internet/social media and YouTube for people to make claims about learning to speak a language that is  just impractical. Being a language learner myself and being told that  some people are learning to speak a new language fluently in a single  month is just frustrating. Most, and by that I mean 99%, of us won?t be  learning a new language to fluency in a month.

Why  do these claims of learning a new language to fluency in a month seem  exaggerated? Well, take this example, the US military spends millions of  dollars using the best techniques and experts in language learning in  the world. This US military programme per-selects only people who show  an inbuilt skill will learn language learning. Guess what? It still  takes students on this ultra specialist, elite, best of the best US  Military program longer than a month.

I?m  not saying learning a new language from nothing to fluency in less than  a month is impossible. I?ve just have not met anyone who has done it,  and I know a few polyglots who specialize in language acquisition.

Many of your emails tell us that fixing your English pronunciation is one of the biggest issues you have as you move to spoken English  fluency. Today I?m going to explain why learning English pronunciation  is so difficult for some people. I?ll explain what you can do to fix well understood English specific pronunciation problems.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/learn-english-speaking-pronunciation-course/

The  beauty of the Adept English "Listen & Learn" English lesson is  while you are improving your English language vocabulary and listening  comprehension. Building that long term English language memory you will  need for English fluency. You also "automatically" learn about English  accents and correct English pronunciation. But what if there was a way  we could speed up the pronunciation learning part and target stubborn  mispronunciation issues?

What  if I told you I have methodically identified every single problem area a  non-native English speaker will have with English pronunciation? That  I?ve applied the Adept English Listen & Learn approach, that you love listening to in our podcasts, to help solve all your English mispronunciation issues.  An approach that gives practical instruction and advice on how to  position your mouth so an English listener will understand every sound  you pronounce.

If you're interested in using the same easy-to-use  system we use in our podcasts to solving your pronunciation problems,  you should definitely listen right to the end of today?s podcast and jump over to vip.adeptenglish.com to register your interest.

Do you ever stop listening to someone while they?re speaking because you?re too busy translating what they said? You are not alone! Lots of English language learners fall into the trap  of language translation. The good news is you can learn to stop that  slow translating process and move to true spoken English fluency with the strategies I set out in this English podcast lesson.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/learn-english-conversation-fluency/

I know, it?s frustrating! We all start out with translation, but translation prevents fluency!  It seems counter-intuitive that the only way to learn a new language is  to build a vocabulary and to do that you need to translate, but in  doing this we prevent ourselves from becoming better the more we  translate!

There is nothing  wrong with this at the start of your language learning journey. The  problem happens when you think scaling this skill up is the right way to  continue getting better at English fluency.

The  best way to think about this is to imagine your early English language  vocabulary as a set of tools you need to get your language learning  started. Imagine that these tools help you build a bridge, but once you  finish the bridge, you need to put the tools down and stop using them.  Your focus should now be on using the bridge you?ve built.

Listening  to today?s English language podcast and taking the suggested  personality test will help you learn about the personality types you  will encounter in your daily life. Learn about your own personality type, and its strengths and weaknesses, along with some useful common English vocabulary.

?Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/common-english-words-vocabulary-personality/

In this English lesson,  I?m going to recommend a good online personality test that I have found  interesting. It?s free, it?s simple to fill out, and it works without  having to hand over an email address.

It only takes a few minutes to answer some yes/no questions and I?ve found it to be quite accurate. No predictive system is perfect, but this one seems to offer some interesting insights into your personality.

Personality  tests are a great way to find out more about yourself. You will  discover things about yourself that you should find interesting or  surprising. It can make you think about your personality or the  personality of people you know, from a new angle, or in a different way.

?Personality?  is a word relating to the character or attributes of a person. For  example, if you meet someone who?s friendly, energetic and generous,  these are some of their personality traits.
