This is part one of a two-part series. Today I'm going to read the first book I managed to write "Stop Feeling Guilty about Watching TV". The second episode is going to be me talking about what I liked and didn't like about this book.
Today I watched an episode of a TV Show called "Behind her eyes" and I wanted to talk about a few phrases: That's rich coming from you, I don't know how you put up with me, and I'd walk through fire for you.
Today's episode is gonna be different. I'm gonna talk about vacation, but I am also reading you a "poem" I wrote. Or something like that. Let's also talk about writing, books, Polish people taking days off to renovate their apartments, and a few words about creativity.
How many times do you have to encounter or repeat a word to remember it forever?
The thing is that the number of times is not necessarily as important as the, let’s call it, quality of the encounters.
For example using a flash card with a word and definition written on it and using it like fifty or a hundred times will most probably not give you better results than...
So today’s episode is gonna be about phones... but to be more precise phone-related pet peeves… and the ones I’m gonna mention - most of them - I gotta admit I do regularly or used to do regularly... and I’m often mad at myself for doing it… because it’s unnecessary, it’s distracting, it doesn’t make any sense but I keep doing it over and over again...
Let's talk about English words and their meanings.
This is gonna be the first time I start an episode by asking - how are you ? What are you doing ? Driving to work? Cooking? Maybe cleaning your bathroom… I’m just asking cause I use all those opportunities to listen to some podcasts as well...
I realized that in the last episode when I was talking about accents, I didn’t mention one more thing you need in order to fully reduce your accent. So I mentioned words pronunciation, putting stress on the right words in a sentence and the last thing is contractions and reductions...
Have you ever felt too old for sth? Even if the thing you’re doing is actually pretty cool?
It hit me this year that maybe I shouldn’t be doing that thing because I wasn't as good as I should be at that age…
This is the first episode of the English Corner series! They're gonna be short episodes focused on the beauty, quirks and nuances of the English language. This one is about the American accent and why I tried to learn it.
Words that don't exist in English, laughing at people tripping, and my emotional side.
How I moved abroad, came up with the “best” business idea, and how it all turned out.
I sort people into oddly specific categories and step into the minds of a thirty-something and see how it all makes (or doesn’t make) sense.
What having cats is like? Do Polish people eat pierogi? And what my first-ever car accident was like.
What knowing more than one language feels like, a little bit of Polish history, and funny sayings.
Hi! Welcome to the very first episode of my very first podcast.
Welcome to English Ramblings with Monika.
One of the reasons I created this podcast is that wanted to use English more often, so I thought that this could be the perfect way to do that.
