107 - Expression: The Coast is Clear / The Great Escape from Alcatraz
American English Podcast
09/27/21 • 31 min
In today's episode, you'll learn how to use the common expression: The Coast Is Clear . You'll get to practice pronunciation and hear a joke as well. The fun fact in this episode is all about Alcatraz, an island or prison, I should say - former prison - off the coast of San Francisco, which housed some of the United States's most infamous criminals from 1934 until 1963.
One former resident you may know of is Al Capone, the American gangster / mobster, you can say, also known by the nicknames Public Enemy #1 and, of course, Scarface.
Alcatraz is a fascinating place for its complex history and twisted stories. And today you're going to hear one of them; the story of how three men managed to escape what was considered the most secure prison at the time. This story baffles historians even today, and the U.S. government still has no idea what happened to the three men. In fact, it is the longest manhunt in U.S. history.

109 - Dream Houses with Pete
American English Podcast
10/31/21 • 55 min
I've always loved talking about Dream Houses. It's sort of a magical topic that everyone can relate to and yet for every person the response is going to be different. How we answer / describe our space largely depends on our life experience to date and perception of places we've been and have not been to. In this conversation I talk to Pete (my Australian friend and host of the Aussie English Podcast) about his dream home and we compare our previous living environments to where we'd like to be.
Would you like to live in a castle in France, a spacious apartment in New York or a cottage in the English countryside? All three? Me too!
Speaking about dreams and wishes in English it forces you to use conditionals. Check out how Pete and I switch from the first and second conditional in this conversation.

106 - Off the Beaten Track with Charlie ("A Dream Trip to the Maldives")
American English Podcast
09/18/21 • 47 min
Charlie, our good friend from The British English Podcast, came up with an incredibly entertaining podcast format: "Off the Beaten Track." In short, it's all about asking someone detailed questions about their ideal itinerary for a DREAM vacation. I emphasize DREAM because this episode is packed with HYPOTHETICALS! You've hit the hypothetical jackpot... and it's real!
In today's episode, we heard all about his crazy trip up to space and then to the Maldives; he would go skydiving and scuba-diving with sharks among some other legit (very cool) activities. Tune in to learn a great deal about Charlie - you'll hear plenty of conditionals in natural English conversation.

111.2 Is it IN Hawaii or ON Hawaii? (Prepositions with Locations)
American English Podcast
12/10/21 • 5 min
The preposition in and on can be a nightmare, but in this short recording I hope to clarify some of the confusion when it comes to speaking about islands.
Yes, there will be a few exceptions to the rules here, but honestly this topic can get so convoluted, simplifying it the way I have will enable you to speak correctly about islands 99% of the time.
The one exception probably worth mentioning is Rhode Island - Rhode Island is a state and when I visit, I'm IN Rhode Island.
