Everything starts with your mindset--the way that you intentionally (or unintentionally) cultivate your thought process and habits. When you put in the deliberate work to mold the right kind of mindset, you are guaranteed to be successful. It is actually quite simple, although it may not always be easy. That's why in this podcast we will give you recommendations to help you change the way you think, so that you can become a fluent, confident English speaker. What's more, you will be able to apply these tools to all other areas of your life. 

Have you ever been frustrated because you heard other people laughing, but didn't understand the joke in English? And do you want to be able to use your English to make other people laugh?

Have you ever jumped off a cliff? Or skied down a hill in a meter of snow? Or hopped out of a plane a kilometer above the ground? 

Ok, maybe we can't help you be the next world famous daredevil, but we can help you be an extreme English learner and teach you some extreme sports vocabulary! Which is exactly what we are going to do in this episode of the RealLife English Podcast.

Are you ready to add some adrenaline to your English learning? Let's jump in... Aww Yeah! 

Something English learners always complain about is not having the words that they need to express themselves like they would in their mother tongue.

That is why in this episode we are taking a deep dive into some advanced techniques for learning, remembering, and using more vocabulary. Having a rich active vocabulary is a key aspect of fluent communication, so I guarantee that the recommendations in this episode will be invaluable to you. Let's dive in! 

Ethan writing you from Barcelona where there were recently some terrorist attacks from the 16th - 18th of August, 2017. Fortunately, I was not personally affected, but these tragic events definitely got me thinking, and that's what we discuss in this episode of the RealLife English Podcast. 

The headlines all say some variation of "14 Dead in the Attacks in Barcelona." And although this is effective and impactful to see at the front of the newspaper, it is way too impersonal. 

Don't think of 14 dead. Think of the 14 individuals, each with a name, a face, a family--and perhaps more importantly--dreams that now they will never have the possibility to accomplish. Their potential was stolen from them, but you and I are still here. And you and I need to remember that our time, our potential, our dreams can be taken at any moment. We have to act NOW. By telling ourselves that we will have time tomorrow, or next week, or next year to achieve our dreams we avoid the reality that the victim yesterday could have been you or me. And it is a disrespect to those that did have their dreams stolen from them yesterday if you and I don't at least try to make ours a reality today. 

I truly send my heart out to any of you affected by the events here in Barcelona, or anywhere else. Here we might say, "Tots units fem força," -- united we are stronger! And it's never more than in times of tragedy that we see how real this is. Together we will not give up in the face of a few cruel individuals. Together we can make our dreams a reality. Together we can make a better tomorrow.

Let's continue the good fight together, you and I! Much love from Barcelona️ ❤️!

This episode of the RealLife English Podcast is at the TOP of the RealLife Way--so if you have made it this far, congratulations! You are already well on your way to not just learning it, but living it! And the ultimate expression of this is when you can use your English to actually change the world! 

I know it sounds like a big goal, but as Gandhi said, "Be the change that your wish to see in the world," and knowing how to communicate in English is going to exponentially aid you in doing this. 

Join us for a mind blowing discussion and also learn how you can get TWO new fluency presents, which will help you to start living a life beyond borders. 

Hey you there--yes you! Are you ready to communicate in English like an expert?

It's not just enough to wish for it. And no, it's not enough to go to class two or three times per week or study grammar. The secret lies in just one skill--in a willingness to open your heart, to be vulnerable, to face your shame, and to be COURAGEOUS! If you master the skill that we will talk about in this episode of the RealLife English Podcast, you will be perceived as fluent. But do you have the guts [bravery] to do it? Let's see--download or listen now!

Are you ready to be empowered with the strategies, skills and courage you need to step outside of the classroom, and not just learn English, but to live it? Are you ready for this next big step in our new methodology, the RealLife Way?

Aww yeah! Are you ready to go BEYOND the boring traditional methods and learn English like the natives do--by USING it?!? 

Without a doubt, the most successful English learners I have met completely surround themselves with the language. They create an environment and lifestyle that mimics the experience one might have if she were living in an English speaking country. And without a doubt, this is a HUGE key to success with learning. It is moving past the ways you were told to learn the language, and making it a part of your everyday life that you don't even really have to think about. 

It is simple, it is fun, and although it is not always easy, it is extremely fulfilling. But in this episode, Justin and Ethan will make it more effortless with tons of new tips and resources. Are you ready? Then press play! 

Where there is a will, there is a way!

Nowhere is this truer than when learning a foreign languages. This expression explains that if one's desire and determination are enough, she can find a way to do anything.

So, if you bring your want of English fluency, and you are willing to work hard for it, then we will show you the way! 

In this podcast, you will learn the 3 pillars of determination: 

1. Desire,
2. Vision, and
3. Discipline

If you start your journey by concretizing these three qualities into your mindset, you will be unstoppable. Let's do exactly that in this episode of the RealLife English podcast, aww yeah! 

In this episode, we are thrilled to present an outline of our new comprehensive 5-Step methodology that we have developed over the last four years with RealLife English. The next FIVE episodes will go in depth about each step of the RealLife Way and how YOU can start applying this to your English and your life: 

• PART I - Where There's a Will, There's a Way
• PART II - Don't Just Learn it, Live it
• PART III - Discover the Truth About "Native" English
• PART IV - Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone and SPEAK English
• PART V - Be the Change Your Wish to See in the World

If you listen to every episode in the next few weeks and apply the principles, then we have the following promise:

We will Inspire you to awaken the determination you need to realize your true potential, not only as an English learner, but as a human being.

We will Empower you build the strategies, skills, and courage you need to step outside the classroom into the real world, and not just learn English, but to live it.

We will Connect you to a world beyond beyond borders, a global consciousness, community, and realization of the fact that no matter what divides us, that what unites us is far greater.

We are super excited to present you with this dynamic, new methodology for English learning, so without further ado, let's jump into the lesson! 

Do you love shopping? Or maybe you only do it when you absolutely must? Either way, it can be extremely frustrating to go shopping when you don't have the vocabulary to ask for what you need: The right fit? The right fabric? The right cut?

Like any other language, English is filled with so many slang expressions and rude terms, most revolving around human genitalia.

Humans tend to find lots of interesting ways to use sexual organs to describe how they are feeling, from anger to extreme joy and delight. Although this is not always the most appropriate language to use around certain people, knowing these expressions can give you great insight into the English language and expose you to the more creative side of common colloquialisms. 

In this episode of the podcast we are going to explore testicles. All the different ways we refer to these man parts, and how we can use them in everyday speech to reference courage, commitment, excitement and much more. 

Have you ever heard of, or even experienced reverse culture shock?

Many people who have lived away from their place of birth, or culture they grew up in, experience this when returning to their mother land. It is the experience of returning home but everything feels foreign.

In this lesson me and Justin discuss what reverse cultural shock is, and some of our personal experiences readapting to our own countries of origin.  

In 2016 the United Kingdom decided to leave the European Union in what was called Brexit.

As the dust still hasn't really settled (it's too soon to see any real effect) since this happened, people are still really unsure what this means for the global economy, and other side effects this could happen all over the world. 

In this episode we have a special guest, Martin, from Essex in the United Kingdom, to share some of his views on the current situation. Martin is the creator of Rock N Roll English and is currently living and teaching English in Italy.
