Daily Easy English Expression Podcast

Today’s expression and dialog: I got a beef with you.   Hey! I’ve got a beef with you.   What? What did I do?   You used my cell phone without asking. Oh, hey, man! Sorry about that. It was an emergency~   Sometimes people do stupid things. And sometimes those stupid things make us really mad.   I was playing my favorite CD and my friend asked if he could borrow it. I told him that it was my favorite CD. He said, "Just for a few days. I'll return it next week."   I finally said okay. The next week came...nothing. Two weeks. Nothing. I called him. "Hey! Where's my CD?" "Oh, Shane! Sorry. I'll get it back to you. Don't worry! It's really great!" After two more weeks I finally went to HIS HOUSE!    I was really mad! If he liked the CD so much, he should have bought it! When you are REALLY mad at your friend for doing something stupid, use today's expression!   Have a NICE day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: do my darndest   How’d Timmy do yesterday?   He struck out the one time he was at bat.   Aw. That’s too bad. I know. He did his darndest, though!   If you REALLY want to do it, you can. If you REALLY want to be the best, you can! If you REALLY believe it, it'll come true!!!   Nope. Not true for most people. It's NOT!!!! Don't be mad at me~~ There is ALWAYS someone better. Always.    HOWEVER, we need to know, it is NOT winning, it's HOW YOU PLAY. It's not being first, it's doing your best. If you really do your best, if you consistently do your best, if you really want to do your best...then no one will be better than you. YOU did your best. You are not HIM or HER. You are YOU. Do your best, and you ARE the best.    Life is simple. Make life the best that you can make it. That's all.

Today’s expression and dialog: to give props to someone     I really love your newsletter.   It’s great, isn’t it?        Yes! It’s looks good. It’s easy to read! It’s perfect. I gotta give props to Parmy! He did it all!   Sometimes people say THANK YOU to us, but we do not deserve it. For example, I brought a cake over to the neighbor yesterday. The neighbor, an 80 year old grandmother, was SO happy. She said "thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"  And I said, "You're welcome!" And then I went home. An hour later my mother called me. She asked, "Did you give the cake to your neighbor?" Yes, mom. Did she like it. Yes, mom. Did you tell her I made it? No, mom! SHANE!!! You are SO bad!! You need to GIVE PROPER RESPECT to people who deserve it!!"   My mom is right. So, in today's expression, I'll teach you HOW to do that in English!   Have a super day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

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 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: 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.
