My dog ALWAYS came to say "Hi!" to me, but she wasn't there that day. And when I saw my mom, I KNEW something was wrong. She was looking very worried. She didn't have to tell me; Copper was missing. After about an hour, the phone rang. I was outside but I looked in as my mom answered the phone--I KNEW everything would be okay. Her smile on the phone told me. And yes! An hour later, Copper was home! Today, learn a GREAT expression that's perfect for this story^^Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by givi

In fact, if you visit my website and click on ABOUT COACH SHANE you will see a picture there of me in that shirt! Many years ago!! Anyway, that shirt was a "used" shirt. It used to belong to my Uncle John...or was it Uncle Jim? I'm not sure! However, when we talk about USED CLOTHES in English--especially used by a different family member, we do NOT say USED CLOTHES!

0519 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—air quotes (body language and spoken!)
29/10/2015 Duração: 06minToday’s expression and dialog: air quotes Shane is SO funny~ What? No he’s not. You weren’t watching. I was doing this ~~~ Oh! Air quotes! Humor around the world is different in each culture. In the US, we love "self-deprecating humor"--jokes that make ourselves look silly or fat or lazy or dumb! Strange, huh? British people LOVE sarcasm. Some people love slapstick humor--visual humor with lots of physical fun!Well, in the US, we also like sarcasm and sarcasm is one of the toughest types of humor for ESL students. We say something like "Nice haircut" but the meaning is "What a terrible haircut!" How do you know? Intonation...OR, in the US, we often use TODAY'S EXPRESSION. Learn it and learn to laugh at more American humor!Have a super Thursday,Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!

0518 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—a longshot (long-shot, long shot)
28/10/2015 Duração: 08minToday’s expression and dialog: a longshot (also “long shot” AND long-shot) Do you think Shane will become a Hollywood movie star? It’s a longshot! Really? I think he’s SO talented. Yeah, but he’s bald! And old! Did you ever play basketball? If you have, which is easier:A. Making a basket from 2 metersB. Making a basket from 4 metersC. Making a basket from 10 metersWell, the answer is A! The closer we are to the "hoop", the easier it is to throw the ball into the "hoop". The farther we are, or the LONGER we are, the more difficult it is to "make the shot" or "to put the ball into the hoop". I just gave you the BACKGROUND to Today's Expression! In the podcast, I tell you Today's Expression is "one word", which it is, but it looks like most people spell it as two words--you can use a hyphen, too! Too many choices^^Have a SUPER day,Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!

0517 Daily Easy English Expression PODCAST—discipline (noun and verb)
27/10/2015 Duração: 09minToday’s expression and dialog: discipline (noun and verb) Ooh! Cake! Maybe I’ll get a small piece. Aren’t you on a diet? You need some discipline. Who’s gonna discipline me? Me!! Ha! I brought a mirror! Look at yourself! I LOVE chocolate. But, I can control myself. I LOVE beer, but I almost always have just one can a day! To control yourself is NOT easy. It requires "TODAY'S EXPRESSION". But to control others, we also use "TODAY'S EXPRESSION". In my opinion, many children and students do NOT get enough of this magic word. When I was young I received LOTS of it! I was "TODAY'S EXPRESSION"ed every day! Today's expression can be used as a NOUN and a VERB. It's a very USEFUL word that I want you to practice using. But it will require some "TODAY'S EXPRESSION"!!!Have a great day,Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!
