This episode is the second part of my phrasal verb series, where we look at phrasal verbs through real-life topics. Not as isolated vocabulary, not as something you memorize for a test, but as language that naturally appears when we talk about emotions, relationships, boundaries, and mental health.Today’s topic is… a little uncomfortable for some people, but very important.People I’ve grown out of. And why that’s normal.🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :) Hosted on Acast.

This episode is the first part of a five-part series where we’ll look at phrasal verbs through real-life topics. Not as isolated vocabulary, not as a list of verbs and definitions, but as something that naturally shows up when we talk about life, work, studying, motivation, and, also about a topic that is very close to my heart… mental health. So I will be dropping some phrasal verbs!!!🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we’re going to talk about something that sounds boring but is actually confusing and, at least to me, a little funny. The American measurement system. Also known as the imperial system. Or, as I like to call it, “Why are you like this?”Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

For the last two years, I have always made a recap of my year so I thought I would do the same for this one. And I am really happy to say that it has been a much better year than the previous one. I will be using some advanced vocabulary because I really want to describe my year as best as I can, so please, take advantage of the transcript and the vocabulary list.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

1Today’s episode is going to be very practical, because we are talking about something that can seriously impact your score in PET, FCE and CAE. Even students at higher levels keep repeating the same persistent grammar mistakes. They sneak into your writing, into your speaking, and if you’re stressed, they suddenly resurface and ruin an otherwise perfect answer. So today, we’re going to fix that.Let’s jump into the most common grammar mistakes students make in Cambridge exams ... and more importantly, how to correct them.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we’re doing something a little different. Something fun. And also a little chaotic.I’m going to tell you 10 facts you probably didn’t know about me. Why? Well, because every time I share something personal, people seem to enjoy it. And honestly, sometimes it’s nice to lift the curtain, which means to reveal something private, and show you the human behind the microphone.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

I AM BACK!!!So, what are we doing today? Well, today we’re doing something I know many of you love: advanced phrasal verbs. I know, the phrase “phrasal verbs” probably gives you mild anxiety, like the kind where you suddenly forget every single verb you’ve ever learned. But don’t worry, I’m here to make them painless. Or… at least less painful.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we are mixing the best of both worlds- some grammar and also my personal views on things. Because I am sure everyone is super interested in my ideas, opinions and views. Sometimes I feel guilty and weird about talking about my own stories and opinions, like, who do I think I am? And why should anyone care? So that is why I decided to connect it to a grammar topic, so in case you don’t care, it can be beneficial to you in a different way.

Today’s topic is something almost every student has heard at least once: “You should learn English from movies!”It is so much fun, right? And it is also sooooo easy … you just watch your favourite movie, and somehow, magically, you start speaking like a native. Well… no. It doesn’t quite work like that. But you knew that, didn’t you?

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about something I love - mistakes. Not mine, obviously, yours. No, I’m kidding. Kind of.These are mistakes that even advanced Czech students make.

Today I decided to amuse you a little bit because that was actually the first intention of this podcast. Just to entertain someone through short stories being told in English. This time, I will tell you about last week. Not that it was some spectacular week but when I was thinking about it, it was one of those weeks where you are asking yourself- what else will come?

Today, I want to share something that helped me not only with my English and French but also with being a better tutor. And it’s this: learning to say the words “I don’t know” confidently.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, I want to talk about something that I hear all the time from students. They tell me: “I understand English, but I can’t speak.” If you’ve ever felt that way, this episode is for you.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today we’re going to talk about grammar, and not just any grammar - an intermediate grammar that any student at the B1 level should know. It is something many students find a bit confusing, but once you understand the logic, it’s actually not that bad. The topic is reported speech, also called indirect speech.⏰ Mastering English Tenses Course - do 14.9. za zvýhodněnou cenu: TADYPodpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Now … this is actually a very special episode, because it’s number ninety-nine. And you know the saying, “I’ve got 99 problems but sounding natural in English ain’t one”? That’s exactly what we’re talking about today - how to sound more natural in English.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, I want to talk about something I love but I don’t usually share here ... books. More specifically, the books I’ve been reading lately. And don’t worry, I’ll make sure to use lots of grammar in this too ... actually, I’ll be focusing on past continuous and past simple, because those two tenses are the backbone of storytelling. You’ll hear me use both and I’ll explain why at the end.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is all about grammar. As you might remember, I have already done something similar for present perfect and past perfect as those are ones of the most problematic tenses. So today, we are continuing with this trend and we’re diving into the future continuous.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today’s topic is one that a lot of my students have been asking me about, and also something I’ve had to deal with myself lately. And the title says it all: "I don’t see any results… what now?"Does it sound familiar to you? 🧺Přijď na English Picnic (15.8.) - přihlaš se TADYPodpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.
