Today’s expression and dialog: Dead broke   Did you hear what Hillary Clinton said?   Now what?                            After Bill retired as president, they were dead broke! What? Dead broke! Tell her to come live with us! She’ll see dead broke!   How much money do you have in your pockets/wallet/purse right now. Me? I have 40 cents. One quarter, a dime and a nickel. That is it. Oh, in the bank I have some money, but in cash...40 cents. Is there anything I can buy for that? I don't thinks so...maybe a piece of candy. Essentially, I am BROKE!

Today’s expression and dialog: Dutch, Holland, Netherlands   Where are you from?   The Netherlands.   Oh, Holland, right?   Well, Holland is actually just an area of the Netherlands.   Oh. But you’re Dutch, right? No. I’m Frisian. A different ethnic group.   How many countries are in the UK? Yes!! How many COUNTRIES are in the UK? The answer: FOUR. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. They really are four different countries. So you had better not call every person you meet from the UK "English"!! They might get angry! As the world gets smaller and smaller, we should pay more attention to WHO we meet and where they are from. Although we come from "a country", we might be VERY different from the "stereotype" of that country! Be careful! Be respectful! And let's TEACH EACH OTHER about EACH OTHER!!

Today’s expression and dialog: the refs   This World Cup is gonna be hi-tech.   How so?                 They’re using goal-line technology. So the refs won’t miss any goals.   Like yesterday, today's expression is also related to sports. I think we use the word in EVERY sport...I think! What's cool is, we use the word as a noun AND as a verb! AND, you need to know this word IF you like sports. By the way, what is your favorite sport? Let me know!

Today’s expression and dialog: Who’s your money on?                         The new season has begun!   Who’s your money on?   Seattle, man.                 New England’s the defending champs!   I LOVE the fall! Two main reasons. The first reason is a new year of "school starts". Now, of course, I am NOT a student...but I can still feel that energy! It's very exciting~!! The second reason: FOOTBALL! American football starts THIS weekend^^ I know, most of the world doesn't really understand American football, but if you like sports, I encourage you to try and learn a little. As for me, I am physically WAY TOO SMALL to play football, but I absolutely LOVE to watch it! Today's expression is perfect for sports fans--ANY sports! After you learn today's expression, I want you to use it, okay? Great!!   Have a super day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: the devil is in the details   Your scholarship application is great, but…   But what?   Pat Smith is a Mrs. not a Mr.   Oh my god…        The devil is in the details~   Did you ever try something that was a COMPLETE failure? I have done many of those things! But I always learn... Sometimes learning "the hard way" is the best way to learn. In today's podcast I will tell you a story of when I failed...TERRIBLY! It's kind of funny, but for me and my friend--at the time--it was disgusting!!!   Have a great day and REMEMBER today's expression!   Coach Shane     Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: I could use (something to drink/eat) Can I get you anything? I could use a coffee. Milk and sugar? Black, please.   Is there something you would like to eat or drink RIGHT NOW? If a waiter came to you and asked, "Would you like anything?" What would you say? Well, today I will teach you a GREAT way of asking for something to eat or drink...a way that you probably have NEVER used before!  Once you understand the expression, please imagine that I am your waiter and I am now coming up to you... "Hi! Is there anything I can get you?" --please upload/send your answer!!--   Have a great week,    Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to be fresh out of something   I’m going to the store.   Great. We’re fresh out of milk.   Anything else? We could use some sugar. And lettuce, too.   Do you go shopping at the grocery store BEFORE you need to go shopping at the grocery store?!! They say that if you go WITH a list and NOT when you are hungry, you will save money AND buy healthier foods.  I try to do that...but I have to be honest, I usually go when I absolutely need something! Usually milk or eggs. Beer? As you might know, I do enjoy beer--but I ALWAYS have extra beer in the house! I'm never "out"!  Today's expression talks about when you are OUT of something--it's an easy expression and very good. So, I want you to use it and TWEET me your example sentence, okay? You can leave it on FaceBook, too! Have a great day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!

Today’s expression and dialog: to gloss over   Don’t gloss over your pronunciation rules.   I go too quickly?         Yes. Explain them clearly. Okay. I just thought everyone knew them.   Be careful when someone is trying to sell you something and they speak TOO FAST!! They're probably "glossing over" some very important information! Today's expression is a VERY useful "phrasal verb"! I hope you enjoy it^^  Have a super Saturday, everyone!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to be after something   What are you after in life?   Fame. I wanna be famous!   What are you after? Money. I wanna be rich!   When I was young I wanted EVERYTHING. I had dreams of becoming a HUGE success with TONS of money and big houses and fast cars and yachts... Well, so far...none of that. BUT I'm happy!!! I have you! I have a tons of books, big computers, fast bicycles and a compact car. Not bad!! Today's podcast will be talking about goals...but the expression you will learn is really great!

Today’s expression and dialog: sounds about right   How much longer?   About 60 miles.   So, we should get there around 3? Sounds about right.   Today's expression is very easy...BUT...I want you to USE it. Use it today. Use it with your friends. Even if your friends or family don't speak English, use it! When they say, "What did you say?" Then you say, "Oh, I'm sorry. I spoke English! It's because of my English teacher!!" Your friends and family will be VERY impressed! They will love you more. They will respect you more. They will buy you more presents. They will give you money. They will make you birthday cakes. They will name their future children after you. Those future children will sing songs about you in the future.    Too much? Maybe! BUT use today's expression!!

Today’s expression and dialog: constructive criticism   What’s wrong?   This guy said my video was bad.   Did he say why? No! At least give me some constructive criticism if you’re gonna say that~   Do you want to make the world a better place? Do you want to be a better person? Do you want to create a better world for the future? Then start using constructive criticism. We can all find problems in EVERYTHING. But finding problems does NOT solve problems. Constructive criticism can be very good, very powerful. Let's start using it and doing it today! I'll tell you all about "constructive criticism" in today's podcast!

Today’s expression and dialog: turn over a new leaf   Is that tea?            Yeah. No more coffee for me.   You stopped drinking beer, too! Did you turn over a new leaf? Yeah! I’m trying to be more healthy.   So, if you want to start OR stop something...when is the best time? January first? On the first day of the month? The first day of the week? Well, yesterday was my ONE YEAR anniversary of QUITTING SMOKING! Yes! I had tried quitting MANY times. And several times I made a "New Year's Resolution" to quit...but I failed. However, I did not let my failure BLOCK me from my future success. I knew I would try to quit again, and eventually I did. Not on January First. Not on a Monday. Not on the beginning of the month. But on Saturday, August 30th, 2014. That's a date that I will remember for...as long as I live! Today's expression will get YOU to "start or stop" something today! Do it!   Have a super week, Coach Shane!     PS. Don't forget--today is a GREAT day to join DDM--we start a new show today!   Please

Today’s expression and dialog: my gut tells me…   Let’s go back home.   No, let’s stay some more.   Two hours and not a bite. My gut tells me the fish are getting hungry~   Are you good at "guessing"? Do you have an accurate "intuition"? If you think about it, each time we make a guess, we use a specific part of our body...what?!! For example, if you make a guess about a business situation, you make an "intellectual guess"--you use your BRAIN. If you make a guess that "a girl likes you" so you should be nice to her, you guess with your HEART! But what is the THIRD part of your body that you guess with?  The answer...your GUT. I'll explain ALL about this type of GUESS in today's podcast!  I hope you have a WONDERFUL Sunday! It's my day off so I might go fishing! Do you think I will catch a fish? Can you guess? With which body part?!! Take care!   Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month! On PayPal: Send to [email protected] Or you

Today’s expression and dialog: a kerfuffle   What’s all the kerfuffle about?   The lady in 407 has an alligator!   What? That’s crazy! I know, but she says it’s her pet.   Did you hear about that HUGE SCANDAL in America about the "dating website" for "married people"? Personally--I think it is hilarious. The website is for "married people" who are "BORED" with their relationship and just want "a little extra fun". Well, there was a HUGE KERFUFFLE because we now know that almost EVERY "woman" on the website was actually a MAN!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!  Everyone, if you are married...be good. YOU made the choice, make your choice the RIGHT choice. Being a responsible husband/wife means you are RESPONSE ABLE...YOU make your responses. Make them good ones!! Oh, be quiet, Coach Shane!! Just explain "KERFUFFLE"! Okay, I will--in the podcast!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!

Today’s expression and dialog: a bad omen (good omens, too!)   It’s 11 at night and still 40 out.   This is a bad omen.   I know. We’re gonna die in this heat. Thank god we have A/C.   Do you ever get the FEELING something bad OR good is going to happen? Do you ever get a signal? A sign? I think in every country/culture, there are different "signals" or "signs" that tell us something GOOD is going to happen or something BAD is going to happen!  Do you believe in that stuff? I know many of you do NOT!! But whether you believe in those things or not, we can still learn a GREAT expression we use in these situations!    Have a SUPER FRIDAY!!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: What keeps you up at night?                            You always look so happy!   Yeah, thanks. But you… What keeps you up at night?   Oh, everything! My job, my bills…money! I wish I could help~~    When you go to bed, are you able to fall asleep right away? I do IF I get enough exercise. But when I don't get enough exercise...my mind wanders~ My mind can move from topic to topic so fast I laugh!! But there are times when, even if I get a LOT of exercise, I can't fall asleep. Those times are when I am worried about something~ To be honest, this happens every week the night before I make new assignments in DDM and PIRF. I take a lot of time to choose the topic and the sentences to focus on-I worry that some students won't like it-I worry that it will be too easy or too hard for some. BUT, I can only do my best, right? I want to ask my Daily Expression to you! Tweet me back!   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month! O

Today’s expression and dialog: opposites attract   Do you think opposites attract?   Maybe at first.          Yeah! I agree. If two people are too different, I don’t think a relationship will work.   Is it true? Nice girls like naughty boys... Tall men like short women... Losers fall in love with winners~  Quiet people dream about loud people...    I can think of a few examples where that is true. How can we describe these types of relationships?

Today’s expression and dialog: in a rut     You don’t look so happy.   I’m in a rut. Take a break from work. Yeah, maybe a week off would help.   My daily life--my daily routine--is the same nearly every day. And I like it!! BUT, sometimes I do get SICK OF IT! Especially just a few years ago I was ALWAYS looking for something to do~ somewhere to go~ someone to hang out with... I was afraid of HAVING A BORING LIFE!! When someone has a "boring job" or a "boring schedule" or a "boring weekend" or a "boring relationship" or a "boring family" ... it can be really terrible!! We need to get OUT of that boredom. And today's expression is one that you can use when you are SICK of your boring life!!  It's YOUR life, don't get "s____ __ _ r__"--learn to have a good life!   Have a super day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!
