    Talking About Your Day

    Most of your life is normal days. Not holidays, not special events. Normal days. So if you can talk about a normal day in English, you can talk about most of your life. That is what this episode is about. We go through the whole day, from morning to night, with the words that native speakers actually use. Wake up and get up, and why they are not the same. Have breakfast instead of eat breakfast. Get home instead of come to my house. Go for a walk. Go to bed. You will also learn three phrases: “How was your day?” “I’m just about to…” “I’m running late.” And at the end, a small exercise you can do tonight before you sleep. It takes two minutes, and after one month it becomes automatic. Spoken slowly and clearly. Perfect for A2 to B1 learners.
