Learning English Speaking Topics With Adept English ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-speaking-topics-8/

Today’s English speaking practice podcast lesson may feel a little random, you could say it’s coming out of left field.  Today’s lesson has a lot of interesting English vocabulary and uses  several words that are difficult for new English language learners to  pronounce.

Have you ever watched “The Big Bang Theory” and noticed Sheldon or maybe you’ve seen Greta Thunberg on TV? Well, if you have, you might notice that these people behave  differently to most people. In today’s lesson we talk about the  conditions that cause this behaviour, and talk about innovative research  that may help us understand why these conditions occur.

We want you to listen to this English audio lesson several times. If you can find some time where you can listen and say what I say and speak what you hear out aloud. We suggest you do this somewhere  private, as you might get strange looks if you do this in a public place  :)

English Fluency And How To Get There With Speaking Practice

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.

Learn English Through Listening - Common English Words Found In British Gardens Ep 453

Common English Words Used In A British Garden ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/common-english-words-8/

After  lots and lots of rain we’ve finally had some sun, and in typical  British fashion we are all complaining because it’s too hot. So summer  is here in the UK, for a few days at least, and that means we will all  be talking about gardens and using common English words for plants and  gardening terms. Especially as we rest and enjoy barbecues and talking  with friends, now the government has relaxed lock-downs in the UK.

I love gardening and working from home and being able to garden has been one thing that  has kept my morale up during lock-downs. Now that I go out I can visit  others it’s time to enjoy my friends’ gardens, and that means using  English gardening phrases and vocabulary.

If  you do not have a garden, there are plenty of options to enjoy some  flowers and busy bees in the UK, from public parks to garden shows and  festivals. So at the end of the podcast I’ve talked about some flower shows I like to visit, partly because  they are near London but also because they are some of the most  spectacular flower shows in the UK.

One of the biggest advantages of learning English through listening is the ability to keep learning while you are doing other things. So if  you're on the beach, take your headphones and listen while you  sunbathe. If you're travelling back to work having been working from  home, now is the time to listen in your car or on the train or bus to  work. Maybe you're at home, just put on some headphones while you wash  the car or the dishes. The point is to make listening to English being  spoken by a native English speaker a habit that fits into your life. Keep listening to this and all our podcast lessons. The more you listen, the easier speaking English fluently is.

Learn English Through Listening - Common English Words Used In Job Interviews Ep 454
play

07/26/21 • 11 min

Common English Words Used In Job Interviews ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/common-english-words-9/

Job  interviews are super stressful at the best of times. Recently, the job  interview challenges are even greater than usual. In today’s English  language lesson we have the first in a series of English language  learning podcasts on presenting yourself as a job applicant.

In this podcast we are starting with your résumé, and the English vocabulary and phrases used in and around a job application. I don’t think of applying for a  job as easy, if you think it is then you probably have the wrong  attitude. It’s stressful and much more so if you are going to be using  your second language in your new job.

If  you are using your second language during your job application, it is  even more important to practise what you are going to say. And  importantly, be confident with the English words and vocabulary that the interviewer is expecting to hear.

Preparation for an interview using a foreign language is going to take longer. You are going to have to focus on any specialised niche vocabulary required for the job.  For example, if you are applying for job in accountancy, then you will  need to learn and practise the vocabulary for accountancy, the same for  software development or engineering, etc.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
⭐ Confucius

There  is a lot of information to cover, so we will start simple and build up  to more advanced job interview topics and cover the unique challenges  when using English as your second language. Like, how to respond to  certain questions "What do you do in your spare time, for fun?" Well if  your applying for a creative job you might talk about creative things  like painting or gardening, if your applying to manage teams of people,  then you might talk about managing people outside of work, maybe helping  manage the school sports team or managing charitable events. Make sure  you are always presenting relevant added value to the interviewer.

Learn English Through Listening - Why Do I Need So Much English Listening Practice Ep 455

Our English Listening Practice = Comprehensible Input ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-listening-practice-12/

With mobile phone ownership in the UK so high it makes perfect sense to use mobile phones in the fight against COVID19. In today’s English listening practice lesson we talk about the pros and cons of using technology to help the UK’s NHS reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

I’ve  received a few e-mails recently asking why I talk about this or that  topic in a podcast and why I don’t talk about something else or  something they suggest. Listener suggestions are always welcome but our podcast content is always going to be a little random.

I am going to take a few steps back and explain what we are doing in our English podcast lessons and what is happening to you and your brain when you listen to our English lessons.

First, our audio lessons are for you to use as "comprehensible input" which you then use to acquire the English language. Comprehensible input is just a fancy way of saying "input a listener can understand despite  not understanding all the words". Think of it as input that is just  above or outside of your current English language understanding.

If I were to describe a great comprehensible input audio lesson for an English language learner, then that lesson would:

  • Be about 10 minutes or around 2000 words long (long enough to be of value but not drown you in new content)
  • Contain interesting content topics that can be listened to several times without being boring (repeat listening)
  • Have  a printed transcript that allows listeners to look up any difficult or  unknown words which can be used in a spaced repetition learning regime  (efficiently discover what words cause you problems and efficiently  learn these)
  • Contain some new and unknown English vocabulary, to  have this explained with lots of contextual descriptions (increasing  your vocabulary)
  • The input needs to be clear and high quality, with no distracting noises, ideally from a native English speaker (comprehensible) (There are many other things but I’ll keep the list short, this introduction is already too long!)

Finding  content like this on the internet is difficult, and one of the main  reasons Adept English exists. You need lots and lots of quality English  listening to help train your brain’s ability to map what you want to  say, into the English words and sentence structures needed to  communicate those ideas.

The really cool part of  learning a language through lots and lots of comprehensible input, is  the whole thing works in reverse. Our amazing brains can easily turn all  of that English input (listening) into output, which is our goal in helping you to speak fluently in English.
