Let's explore the expression "The Grass is Greener on the Other Side".In English, this is used when we view other situations as better than our own. In fact, no matter what we have, we tend to value what we don't have more.I explore the meaning of this expression in some detail, examples from my own life, and also some common ways we all experience this along with some ideas on how to overcome the negative sides of this idea.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast313This free video series will take you through a few lessons to Level Up your English quickly.

#312 Moving Across the World with Zdenek
Today I'm doing a rare in-person discussion with Teacher Zdenek. Zdenek has more than 12 years of experience in various settings, primarily teaching English learners of levels B2-C2. He's taught English in the Czech Republic, UK, Ireland and most recently Vietnam. Zdenek has also moved to Vietnam, and that's why we were able to meet up nearby in Bangkok for a casual discussion. We speak about moving abroad, learning the local language, habit-building, teaching English, naughty tourists, and much more!I hope you enjoy this one.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast312This free video series will take you through a few lessons to Level Up your English quickly.

#309 Emphasising with Cleft Sentences
Cleft Sentences are an area of English grammar that is used in daily conversation, but isn't often taught. I don't know many things, but what I am knowledgable about is English! (There's an example!)In this episode, I first explain two of these grammar patterns that you can follow, and then I go through some questions about travel, life experience, and work while answering using this grammar. And of course, I encourage you to do the same. Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast309This free video series will take you through a few lessons to Level Up your English quickly.
