🛀 Unwinding After Work: UK vs USA - Advanced English Podcast Episode
Description:
🎧 In this soothing episode of the Advanced English Podcast, hosts Kat from the USA and Mark from the UK share how they decompress after a hectic day at work. This episode dives into the personal strategies our hosts employ to find peace and relaxation amidst the chaos of their professional lives, all while teaching you relevant English vocabulary and phrases related to stress management and self-care.
🇺🇸 Kat talks about the importance of vegging out on the couch and engaging in simple, mind-off tasks like doing the dishes or going for a walk to relieve the stress of a tough day. She emphasizes the value of "me-time" during the weekend, which might include a spa day or enjoying a movie and yoga at home. Kat’s approach to unwinding is about finding balance and ensuring she's mentally prepared for the week ahead.
🇬🇧 Mark describes his method of coping with the pressure of being buried in work by disconnecting completely once he's home-silencing his phone and stepping away from all work-related communication. Cooking and cleaning act as therapeutic activities for him. On weekends, physical activities like walking or exercising help him leave the stress of the workweek behind and recharge for the days ahead.
📚 As they share their personal routines, Kat and Mark introduce listeners to a variety of expressions related to stress relief, mental health, and the small activities that can help one reset after a demanding day at work. This episode is perfect for advanced English learners looking to enhance their vocabulary on wellness and self-care.

I always wish to have chances to meet and talk to native English speakers to improve my speaking skill, but unfortunately I live in a place that there are very few foreigners living so It is difficult for me to meet English speaking people.Luckily I found your channel 2 weeks ago. From then I listen to your podcast every day. I understand almost 95% what you say.I am so thankful to you. I think I will improve my speaking and listening skill in the near future. Thank you so much. Both of you are terrific. I love you.

[@highlevellistening]

Wow thank you so much for such a lovely comment! We're so glad you found us and enjoy studying with us! We hope to build some kind of English-speaking community in the future to help people find others to speak English with, hopefully it will help yourself and others in the same kind of situation!

Hi, my lovely teachers:) After a busy day, I try to decompress and unwind. Sometimes I study English, do some exercises, or do some household chores, but at other times I just end up lounging around at home. Thank you for a really informative and interesting video.

[@onceagain2847]

I started learning British English. Practiced it the American way. There were some problems with the discrepancy between what I learned and what I practiced. Guys, you are helping to combine these two ways of speaking English. Thank you.

[@highlevellistening]

Amazing! Yes! Thanks for working so hard ☺️ we’re glad you can see the real differences, keep it up

With life being so stressful and full of uncertainties lately. I was thinking about how I managed to get my mind off reality's chaos on my way. Once I got myself home, I lounged around at home for a while. It was like there was nothing left in my reserves- physically, mentally, or emotionally. It was just one of those times when even the simplest tasks felt like a struggle. I decided to indulge in a little self-care. I threw on one of my favorite tv series-Gilmore Girls, grabbed a bowl of popcorn, and settled in for a cozy night on the couch. Sometimes, the simplest pleasures were the best medicine for a tired mind and body.

[@highlevellistening]

Wow - thanks for sharing so much with and well done for making so many great sentences! Sometimes there's nothing better than plopping down on the sofa and watching one of your favourite shows that you've watched a million times before! (Gilmore Girls is a 'comfort show' for a lot of people, like Friends and other light-hearted shows). Hopefully your next few weeks will be a little less stressful!

when it is just one of those days and I'm feeling really exausted, I just stare through the bus window on my way to home. Arriving to home, I put my phone silent and tackle chores in order to get my mind off of work. From time to time I feel like I'm not able neither to do something, nor even just to speak. In such case I veg out on the sofa and the best way to recuperate is sleeping. With life being so stressful lately in Ukraine, it's really important to keep healthy relationships and support your relatives and friends. So, I must collect myself and despite my mood call to them and ask what's up. As a distracting point that helps you stop thinking about the war could be studing. So, that's why I'm really grateful to you for this channel. Thank you a lot!

[@highlevellistening]

Wow thank you so much for sharing your experience. We really appreciate you being here and we're glad we can support you from afar. I felt like I was listening to a friend talk about their day, thanks again for sharing.

Hi from Rome. I' m an English teacher. You had a wonderful idea to compare Emglish and American versoons....I ' am always listening to you. I' d like to ask you something though.. Most times you specify if a phrase sounds wierd in the other language but sometimes you don't....so I I remain willing to know the difference. For example when Mark uses the phrase I'm buried with work is that used even by Americans or not? You are super good teachers! I thank you so much

[@highlevellistening]

Most of our classes use vocabulary that is perfectly fine to use in both accents, which is great and easier for our students! We usually make a note in class if something is "very American" or "very British" because if Mark says something that really sounds different to me, we will make a note in the class notes. It's generally when it comes to bits of vocabulary (like the car is really different!) and sometimes grammar that we differ (Americans use more past tense, Brits often use present perfect), maybe occasionally some full phrases but we try to mention it in the lesson. It might be nice to do some back and forth of words that are completely different, just to give our students some clarification. Thanks for your suggestion!

[@LuiginaMoschioni-kv5cy]

It would be interesting to have a lesson on how to travel, airport, cek in, out, hotel etc you are wonderful ❤️ ❤ thank you very much 😊😊

[@highlevellistening]

Great suggestion! We will add it to the list of interesting topics in the future! Make sure to vote in our weekly community post and add it to the list over there as well so we can find your suggestion easily :)

Do you guys provide private speaking sessions ?

[@shobithtube4440]

Lay down or lie down which is right?

[@highlevellistening]

They are both used the same way in conversational English. "I need to lay down and take a break" "I need to lie down and take a break" Native speakers will use both sentences interchangeably.

[@ivandrosantos739]

I have been working so hard that I really need a downtime, lounggen myself around
