  • 926 - How to Agree and Disagree Politely in English

    926 - How to Agree and Disagree Politely in English
    Nov 10 2025
    I guess you're here because you think podcasts are a good way to learn English. Yeah, absolutely — I was thinking the same thing. You might even think they are the best way to learn. Well, I see your point, but I’m not sure everyone would think so. Maybe we can agree to disagree. That’s the language we’ll look at today.

    In this podcast English lesson, we’re going to talk about something that happens all the time in conversations — agreeing and disagreeing. But not just saying “yes” or “no.” We’re going to look at how to do this politely — whether you’re in a meeting, having a group chat, or just talking with a friend.

  • 925 - Sunday Speak - Lemme, Gimme, Gemme - Reductions in American English

    925 - Sunday Speak - Lemme, Gimme, Gemme - Reductions in American English
    Nov 9 2025
    In everyday spoken American English, we often use reduction. Here, reduction means we shorten or soften sounds when we speak. It’s when certain words or syllables lose their full sound to make speech smoother and faster. Today, let’s look at three really common reductions: lemme, gimme, and gemme.

    Like, instead of saying let me, we reduce it to lemme. The T sound at the end of let, is dropped. Lemme. You can say things like, “Lemme see that.” “Lemme know when you’re ready.” or “Lemme know what time the meeting starts.” Lemme.

    And instead of saying give me, we reduce it to gimme comes from give me.The V sound at the end of give, is dropped. Gimme. You can say things like, “Gimme a second.” “Gimme that pen.” Or “Can you gimme a hand moving this desk?. Gimme

    Finally for today, instead of saying get me, we reduce it to gemme. The T sound at the end of get is dropped. Gemme. You can say things like, “Gemme a coffee, please.” “Can you gemme a towel?” Or, “You’re going for donuts? Can you gemme one?”

    These reductions happen naturally in everyday casual conversation. And reductions aren’t a lazy way of speaking. They’re just how people really talk smoothly. So next time you hear lemme, gimme, or gemme, you’ll know the meaning. And when you use them yourself, your English will sound smoother and more natural.

  • 924 - Saturday Short - Sounds Like a Plan

    924 - Saturday Short - Sounds Like a Plan
    Nov 8 2025
    Today, let’s look at a really natural and friendly phrase you’ll hear all the time in everyday English - “Sounds like a plan.” We use sounds like a plan when we agree to someone’s suggestion or idea. It’s a casual, upbeat way to say “That’s a good idea” or “Let’s do that.”
    • For example, your friend says: “Let’s meet at 6 for dinner.” You can reply: “Sounds like a plan!”
    • Or maybe your coworker says: “How about we finish this project on Monday?” You can say: “Yeah, sounds like a plan.”


    It’s short, friendly, and works perfectly in everyday conversation - at work, with friends, even with your family.

    So remember, the next time someone suggests something you agree with, skip the formal “That is a good idea.” and just say “Sounds like a plan!” It’s a natural way to reply!
