Today’s expression and dialog: to plug in   I’m getting fat.   You need to plug in an hour a day of exercise.   Ugh… I’m too lazy. Then enjoy your fatness!   Do you have a busy schedule? I'm sure you do. BUT, thank you for taking the extra time to study some English with me. As you might guess, my schedule is very tight, too. But...there is always something I do my best to do...exercise. Not SUPERMAN style~ I just like hiking and/or walking. I like other kinds of exercise, too, but it's TOO hot!    So, when we have a BUSY schedule, but we really need to ADD something to our schedule, we can use today's expression. Today's expression will be easy to remember because we ALSO use it with our cell phone and our computer and pretty much every electronic thing we own!!

Today’s expression and dialog: take cover   The boss is coming. Take cover.   Is he in a bad mood again?   You didn’t hear? Someone broke his coffee cup. His “Best Boss in the World” cup? Ha~~   Sometimes we do something...something not good. Or maybe we just forget to do something...something that was important for somebody else. And when that happens, that "somebody else" can get REALLY angry. At the office, you were supposed to meet with a very important client at 2pm. But...it's 4pm and you JUST REMEMBERED~~~  Your boss will KILL YOU when they find out. You promise your wife to take out the smelly garbage...but you forgot. Later you see your wife coming at you with EYES FROM THE DEVIL...you then remember the garbage~~~~    In those situations, I have the perfect expression for you^^ Be careful and have a nice Friday!

Today’s expression and dialog: minute   Look at that car. If I had the money…   That’s pretty nice, huh?   What are the chances I’ll win the lottery? Minute.   What are the chances it will rain tomorrow? (Remember, I live in the desert. The average temperature in July is 41 degrees.) As you may know, my hair is falling out. What are the chances that my hair will start growing again?!! What are the chances I will live to be 122 years old? What are the chances I will be able to visit the moon? What are the chances that I will become richer than Bill Gates?   Never say never, right? Yes, that may be true...but REALISTICALLY!!! The answer to all of those questions is ZERO!! But...there is a tiny chance! So, in today's expression I will teach you the perfect word!!    Enjoy and HAPPY JULY!!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

And snow this week!   One day several years ago when I was teaching English in Korea, my boss was giving out awards to the best teachers. I had been at the school for many years and I was quite certain that I was going to receive an award! Yep, this is what my boss said...   And now it's time for the Teacher of the Year Award. Mr. Shane Peterson... (I stood up and bowed to everyone! I was saying "Thank you! Thank you...") And my boss continued... No, no. Shane, I want you to come up here and give the award to Mr. Thomas! He is our Teacher of the Year!   I WAS SO EMBARRASSED! I completely ASSUMED something, and when we assume, we must be VERY careful. I needed today's expression!

Today’s expression and dialog: creep me out   Robots creep me out.   I love robots! Spiders creep me out.   But you can kill a spider! A robot could kill you!! Hmm… Good point!   Do you like insects? Bugs? Do you like spiders? Cockroaches?  I HATE THEM. I don't know why, but they are REALLY gross to me~ Oh, I can kill them--but I really hate them. I wish they would never bother me--then I wouldn't have to kill them. How would you describe the way a cockroach or a spider moves? Well, one way is to say "they creep". And THAT word, "creep", is also related to today's expression!! It's a VERY useful expression the we can all use.

Today’s expression and dialog: What’s your take?   What’s your take on recycling?   It’s essential.         How’s America’s recycling? Where I live—it’s horrible.   What about in your country?

Headscarves. Racism. Wow...do you have an opinion on any of those issues?

Today’s expression and dialog: all that jazz   How’s DDM?   It’s a lot of fun. Never boring.   What do you learn? Pronunciation, how to speak, how to listen, all that jazz!   If you want to start a new sport or a new hobby, there is a LOT to do. You have to spend time and money to enjoy most hobbies. If you want to enjoy fishing in the US, you need to: buy a fishing license, buy a fishing pole and reel, buy fishing line, buy hooks and other tackle, buy bait. Then you have to find a place to fish. You might need to buy a boat. Mosquito spray! SO many things! But, can we make that list shorter by using a simple English expression? Yes! I'll teach you a great expression which is fun to say & use in today's podcast.

Today’s expression and dialog: to dump on someone   Shane, you’re NOT gonna believe what happened to me.   Sorry. Don’t dump on me now, I’m busy.   What? But you’re my boyfriend. Right. I’m your boyfriend, not your psychiatrist.   I try to be a good friend...but one thing that I am NOT very good at is listening to my friends cry and complain and worry and hate... Listening to another person's drama...it's too much! I have my own problems~ Right? What about you?  However, IF you are in a relationship, then you have to listen to your partner's worries and sad stories and horror stories and tragedies and dilemmas and...EVERYTHING~   So, to "tell someone ALL of your emotional stories" is what we will learn today~ It's a phrasal verb and I think you will easily understand it! If you don't, then you can TELL ME HOW HORRIBLE today's expression is!!!   Have a super weekend,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: a slow jam What’s your favorite slow jam? Oh…so many. Um, Let’s Stay Together. By who? Al Green. It’s a classic.     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!   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: 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!

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!
