The ETJ English Podcast

In this episode of the ETJ English podcast, I share some personal travel stories and insights, focusing on the small yet significant experiences that often go unnoticed. The importance of being present during travels, the sensory experiences upon arrival in a new country, and the unique cultural aspects that make each destination special.  I also reflect on the joys of exploring local life, the excitement of the golden hour, and the importance of safety while traveling. This episode serves as a reminder to appreciate the little things that make travel memorable.

Being present during travel enhances the experience. The first breath of a new country is unforgettable. Cultural differences can be both shocking and delightful. Traffic patterns can vary greatly from country to country. Local sounds and smells create a unique atmosphere. The golden hour is a magical time during travels. Exploring at night can lead to unexpected adventures. Safety should always be a priority while traveling. Traveling opens up opportunities for personal growth and reflection.  

In this podcast episode, I take you on a nostalgic trip through my British millennial childhood; from private school chaos and MSN romances to setting fire to a field (accidentally). We also explore teen stereotypes, music obsessions, and how social norms have changed in the UK. This is real-time listening practice for improving your English and pronunciation. Shadow along, focus on rhythm, stress and intonation, and immerse yourself in natural storytelling from a native speaker. Perfect for anyone learning English, working on their British accent, or just curious about life growing up in the UK. 👉 For full pronunciation training and personal WhatsApp feedback, visit www.etjenglish.com

This episode is all about the birthday from hell — my 10th birthday party, where a kid grabbed a knife, the cake tasted like marzipan (aka betrayal), and I ended up fighting someone at the top of a slide. I also chat about British birthday milestones (16, 17, 18, 21), awkward traditions, and how we handle heatwaves with fans, ice packs, and pure desperation. If you're into nostalgia, chaos, and mildly educational British culture content, this one's for you. 🎧 Access my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish.com 💬 WhatsApp coaching, feedback, and support included.

What's the earliest memory you can remember? In this episode, I take you right back to the first moment I think I can possibly remember in Sydney Australia at about 7 years old... as well as a quite traumatic trip to the doctor because my mum lied to me…  We'll chat about those strange moments in life when we try to soak everything in, scared we might forget. I'll share a few thoughts on music, a bit about AI (because, why not?), and reflect on what I've learned after 10 years of ETJ English, helping people from all over the world build confidence in their voice. Just a relaxed chat today. Stick around if you fancy a bit of easy listening with a British accent you can trust. And if you ever want my voice in your ear a little more seriously for pronunciation coaching, conversations and help with your British pronunciation / accent reduction with full WhatsApp support to help you master your British accent, come and say hi and send your accent evaluation to me at www.etjenglish.com.
