0435 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—I got a beef with you.

Today’s expression and dialog: I got a beef with you. Hey! I’ve got a beef with you. What? What did I do? You used my cell phone without asking. Oh, hey, man! Sorry about that. It was an emergency~ Sometimes people do stupid things. And sometimes those stupid things make us really mad. I was playing my favorite CD and my friend asked if he could borrow it. I told him that it was my favorite CD. He said, "Just for a few days. I'll return it next week." I finally said okay. The next week came...nothing. Two weeks. Nothing. I called him. "Hey! Where's my CD?" "Oh, Shane! Sorry. I'll get it back to you. Don't worry! It's really great!" After two more weeks I finally went to HIS HOUSE! I was really mad! If he liked the CD so much, he should have bought it! When you are REALLY mad at your friend for doing something stupid, use today's expression!

It’s a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M_s0C_ID5w Jam is something we put on bread...strawberry jam! I love it^^ What's your favorite jam? But what about..."to jam"? A verb! Well, one meaning of "to jam" is "to make music". When I hear "to jam", I think of rock musicians making music--loud music! Lot's of guitars, great drums and screaming voices!! I used to love it. But as I mature~~ I tend to like "slow jams" a bit more. What's a slow jam? I'll tell you in this podcast. AND, I'll tell you one of my favorite slow jams, too. I hope you make the effort and look up my favorite slow jam on YouTube. If you do, tell me if you like or not!! Have a super FRIDAY~~ TGIF!

0412 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—to put your best foot forward

Today’s expression and dialog: put your best foot forward My first day is tomorrow. Well, put your best foot forward! I’ll do my best. I’m sure you’ll do just fine! Do you like to start new things? As I get older, I do NOT like to start new things until I am COMPLETELY ready! When I was young, I was always eager to start something new! That's not always a good thing. There are actually MANY things that I want to do--I want to add classes, start my other podcast again, have LIVE hangouts, write more blogs, work with other teachers...but it's impossible. I need to have people working for me. I need to hire people!! But, when I do start something, I always start with GREAT ENERGY, GREAT HOPE, and GREAT PREPARATION! How can we say all three of those things in one simple expression? I'll teach you in today's podcast! Have a great day, Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

0411 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—to crack someone up

Today’s expression and dialog: to crack someone up George cracks me up. He’s such a selfish person! I know. That’s what’s so funny. Well, I think he’s a jerk. Do you smile a lot? Do you laugh a lot? If so, then people are probably very comfortable around you! But...if you smile too much or laugh too loud...people might not like that!! Then there is the person who NEVER smiles and NEVER laughs. Did you ever try to tell that person a joke? It's no fun! Did you ever try to tickle that person...it can be dangerous! That person's face is SOLID. It doesn't move. It would take an EARTHQUAKE to break apart their lips into a smile!!! For a person like me, it doesn't take any effort to break apart my lips into a smile! What does it take to "CRACK YOU UP"? That's today's English expression--a great phrasal verb! Have a day full of smiles ^^ Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

I mean, a letter to your grandma or your parents or your children? Texting and phone calls are so easy and so inexpensive, but...don't you think letters are so much nicer?! The last time I wrote a big letter was YEARS ago--I need to do that. However, I do write shorter letters--especially on birthdays or Mother's Day or Father's Day. Today I was thinking about what to write on the card I bought for my father--Father's Day is coming up soon. And as I was thinking...I couldn't think of ANYTHING smart to say!

Today’s expression and dialog: a can-do attitude English is so hard~ Come on! It’s not that bad. It is. I don’t wanna study English~ Hey! You need to have a can-do attitude. Do have any goals? Any dreams? I hope you do. Are your dreams "realistic" or are the a bit "crazy"?!! If one of your dreams is to get a perfect score on the TOEFL or IELTS...well, it's not very realistic. It's possible--but to be honest, most native English speakers wouldn't be able to get a perfect score! We need to have "realistic" goals. If your goal is to "be able to watch American TV shows without subtitles"...THAT is a very realistic goal! You can do it. Will it be easy? NO! Will you have difficult days/weeks/months? YES! Will you give up? You had better not. You need to have something important...what is it? I will teach you in today's podcast!

My friend Eric promised he would pick me up at 7 on Friday night and take me to a local football game. I was excited.

In order to get the third video, I needed to give my opinion on something...and SO ON and SO ON! It was ridiculous. I gave up. It wasn't worth my time. There were TOO MANY requirements.

Today’s expression and dialog: (place) is a dump Let’s go eat at Earl’s Restaurant. No way. The place is a dump! But their hamburgers are SO good. Wha… Yeah, they really are tasty! Do you like moving? I do NOT like moving, but EVERY year I end up moving. No joke. Since 2008, I have lived in 6 different places. And...my guess, I will move again at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Money has been the biggest reason--working online only is NOT an easy place to make money!! But my next move will be because I need to escape the desert!! I need snow^^ My biggest fear of moving...hmm...finding a place that is a disaster. The plumbing doesn't work good, the heater/air conditioner doesn't work good. Loud neighbors. Too much traffic. CRIME... That is a major worry.

Happy JUNE and happy Monday, everyone!! Actually, Monday is kind of a "day off" for me, so I like it! But June...oh...it will soon be summer. And summer is NOT my favorite month~~ I love WINTER!!! But, I will survive. Okay, let's get to today's podcast... Can you think of a TERRIBLE place to be? What about...in the dump? Remember, yesterday we studied what "the dump" was. Going to the dump for a few minutes is okay, but can you imagine STAYING there? And in some countries, people live there or right next to the dump. Oh, it's SO sad, isn't it? It's very depressing. We are SO lucky that we are not "in the dump". Well, emotionally, we can still be "in the dump". But we say it like this, "I feel down in the dumps". Yes, with an S on dump. But it refers to "the dump" and it means "super sad" or "super depressed".

Today’s expression and dialog: the dump Where you going? The dump. You got room for some magazines? No! You need to recycle those! Do you recycle? When I lived in Korea, I was really good at recycling. The country had a good system. Plastic, glass, paper, plastic bags, light bulbs and even batteries. People even recycled their food waste. The actual amount of "garbage" was pretty small. Very good. But now I am in America...and the recycling system is really bad! Fortunately where I live, we do recycle a little--plastic, paper and glass. That's better than nothing! But the amount of "garbage" is much more than what I used to have. And all of that garbage goes...where? Into the earth! But, where IS that place--what's it called? That's what we'll learn today! Check out today's podcast and have a CLEAN day!

Today’s expression and dialog: to rub someone’s nose in it I heard Eric broke up with you. Yeah. I heard he has a new girlfriend. Uh-huh. I heard she’s really rich. Quit rubbing my nose in it! How do you teach a dog NOT to go to the bathroom INSIDE a house? Well, it's not easy, but one method is...SHOW the dog it's mistake. If it pees or poos in the house, take the dog--grab its head--and FORCE the dog to see and smell its mistake. It doesn't sound nice, but it is effective. Of course, there are other methods, too, but that is a very common method in the US. We can use the SAME method to teach people! No...NOT teach them about going to the bathroom!! Teaching them about other things--especially about stupid mistakes! And there is ONE expression that refers to this "teaching method". What is it? You'll have to listen to the podcast! TGIF!!

0391 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST— ~ never delivers

Today’s expression and dialog: ~ never delivers Are you going to vote? What for? Politicians never deliver. They never keep their promises, do they? They’re almost all the same. Happy Thursday, everyone. Today's expression is SERIOUS. Here's a true story to get you thinking before you listen... Many years ago I was the manager of a language school. One of my teachers was a really nice guy. He was smart, had good charisma, could explain grammar well...BUT he was ALWAYS breaking his promises. He was ALWAYS late. He almost always came to work with the smell of alcohol. And he was NOT a good dresser. Finally, I had a meeting with him and told him that if he didn't start fulfilling his promises of coming in to work on time, cutting back on drinking and taking a shower and washing his clothes--he would be out the door (he would be fired). Well, he kept his promise...for two days. I fired him. He was no good. He could not DELIVER. If you promise, please deliver! Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

0390 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—to call dibs

Today’s expression and dialog: to call dibs Hey, do you guys wanna go to the lake? Yeah!! Dibs on the front seat! Aw~ You always get the front seat. You need to call dibs! Hi everyone!! Do you know what jelly beans are? If not, GOOGLE jelly beans right now! They're a small (like a bean) chewy candy. You chew them and they taste great. When I was young, there were only a few flavors. There was orange, cherry, lime, lemon, vanilla and black licorice. My ABSOLUTE favorite was...ORANGE!! Unfortunately, almost everyone else loved orange, too. So, when someone was about to open a bag of jelly beans, I was always the FIRST person to "say something" so that ONLY I could eat the orange jelly beans!! It's true. What were those magic words? I will teach you today^^ Oh, and I still use this expression when I think someone wants the same thing I want!! It still works like magic!

A lot of people download your podcast? Over 12,000 people for each episode! If we have ice and we heat it, we get water, right? We have "liquefied" ice.

It certainly does and I work to SOLIDIFY myself every day! No, I don't want HUGE muscles...but that would be cool~ I want to be THE ENGLISH COACH for the ENTIRE WORLD...so I work hard.

0388 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—to pick someone's brain

Today’s expression and dialog: to pick someone's brain Can I pick your brain? Sure. What about? American pronunciation. That’s my specialty! Happy Memorial Day!!! It's a day for picnics and...well, I'll tell you in the podcast!! So, tomorrow I am going to be cooking "corn on the cob". Do you know what that is? It's corn...but directly from the plant. I have never cooked corn like that before so I don't want to make any mistakes. I know that I will have to peel off the green leaves, then I will have to remove all of the corn silk (google "corn silk" and you can see what I mean). But for how long do I cook it...in just plain water? Hmm... I know that my mom has a very secret and ancient family recipe...I'm going to ask her for her expert advice! I hope she tells me! When YOU want someone's EXPERT ADVICE/OPINION/KNOWLEDGE, what English expression can you use? You'll find out in today's podcast! Happy Memorial Day Monday!
