🎧 Tune in to our heartwarming episode of the Advanced English Podcast, where hosts Kat Teacher from the USA and Mark Teacher from the UK share their Sunday traditions with their parents. This episode is a delightful blend of cultural insights and language learning, perfect for advanced English learners.
🇺🇸 Kat from the US describes her regular Sunday visits to her parents' house. She talks about enjoying her dad's barbecue skills and sharing a big meal together. Their time is spent catching up on each other's lives, including work and vacation plans. Kat also helps with chores and, weather permitting, enjoys strolls in the park or neighborhood. She concludes her visit with goodbyes and a sneak peek into next week's menu.
🇬🇧 Mark from the UK narrates his bi-weekly visits to his parents. He paints a picture of cozy breakfasts prepared by his mum, filled with home comforts and tea. They exchange updates and local gossip. Mark assists his dad with household tasks, considering his age, and enjoys walks in the park when the weather is nice. His visits end with planning for the next time and heartfelt goodbyes.
📚 Along with these stories, Kat and Mark dissect various English expressions and vocabulary related to family, home life, and cultural traditions. The episode provides a unique perspective on how family time is spent in different cultures, making it not just an English lesson but a cultural exchange.

Thank you for joining us! Great ideas we hope to be able to do more of those style of videos in the future ☺️

[@alefigs]

Love your classes. The best way to start my day. I save some sentences to practice all day. Kat, I have a question. I notice that sometimes you include a do in some affirmative sentences. Would it be wrong if I just said "I notice that with my students sometimes"? Is it always necessary include DO in this kind of sentence? Thank you in an advance

[@highlevellistening]

Yes you have! Enthusiastically is an adverb, so you can put it after your auxiliary verb. I am waiting I am [enthusiastically] waiting. I can [enthusiastically] say that I enjoyed this episode. I would [enthusiastically] sing at karaoke.

[@sweetsour3997]

It’s quite different from my experience though, spending quality time together with parents is crucial for every single person I believe .❤

[@highlevellistening]

It’s always nice to have those moments together 🥰

[@highlevellistening]

Just a quick tip, if you say “Although (even though) my experience is quite different…” then your comment will be even better ☺️

I really enjoy learning English through this channel. My interest getting manifolded whenever I see your videos.. The way you break the sentences down that help me to understand clearly..,.Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏 Have I made any grammatical mistakes? could you please tell me?

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks very much for your kind words! The only part of your comment that's a little confusing is the word "manifolded." A more common word would be: "My interest [grows] whenever I [watch] your videos."

[@tharun0193]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

first .i do really thanks a lot to you two. i think i have learned some very useful expressions up to now and your lesson is not boring at all. anyway good luck and wish you a happy family ❤

[@marcodb65]

Hello Kat and Mark! I love your content: I always learn something new, be it a phrasal verb, an expression, or some vocabulary. In particular this time I found interesting that in American accent "wonder/wander" is a minimal pair (and they're so damn close to my ears! 😁), while in British accent they're pretty much homophones. As always good job and thanks so much!

[@highlevellistening]

I even had a hard time listening to Mark’s accent! We’ll have to use context clues to help, normally it isn’t a problem but wander around and wonder about can sound very similar

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks so much for listening and we hope you continue to enjoy the content!

[@qobilmuydinov4055]

I have a question . Can you explain the meaning of "" Find myself " in the sentence "but I usually find myself going over to my parents house pretty much every Sunday " Can you give any synonym for "find myself doing something""

[@highlevellistening]

That's a great question! "I find myself" often means that I do something almost instinctively, or without thinking about it or planning it too much. Synonyms for "find myself doing something" could be: "end up [doing something]" "habitually [do something]" "tend to [do something]" Hope that helps!

[@veronicanarro8469]

Lovely lesson. Just I would like to ask you to keep what the video is, it is for Advanced students , sometimes you define words that are for beginners. Other than that thanks a lot for your lessons.

[@highlevellistening]

Thanks for your comment and for watching! We know our videos reach a wide range of different students ranging from intermediate to advanced levels, so we like to include lots of quick explanations of many phrases and expressions we can so no one gets left behind.
