  • How To Sound More Professional In English
    Jan 21 2026

    Your English can be correct and fluent - and still not sound fully professional.

    In this episode, I share the small language choices that change how professional your English sounds at work.

    You’ll hear:

    • why vague language weakens otherwise good English
    • how choosing the right words (not more words) improves clarity
    • practical examples you can use immediately in emails, meetings, and discussions

    If your English is already good, this episode will make it sound more professional.

  • How To Get Out Of Your Grammar Comfort Zone In English
    Oct 22 2025

    Do you use the same simple English grammar all the time? Maybe you avoid using certain grammar because you're not sure how to use it. You've learnt the rules, but you don't know how to apply them.

    This keeps you in a 'grammar comfort zone', where you're stuck with basic English. When you get out of this zone, you'll be able to speak with more precision, fluency - and sophistication.

    In this episode, I share some examples of the grammar you may be avoiding, and five steps to help you move out of your comfort zone to use a greater range.

    I also give an example of how a student used one of the most difficult English conditionals completely naturally and effectively!

  • How To Stop Searching For The 'Perfect Word' In English
    Oct 8 2025

    When you're in an English conversation and you know there's a perfect word - but you can't find it - you either 'freeze' and stop talking, or you use the same word as always.

    Both these situations are frustrating and they can reduce your confidence.

    In this episode I share two strategies: one strategy for when you're in that situation; and the other strategy for helping you remember the perfect word in the future!
