Today’s episode is going to be about one of the grammar topics that students struggle with all the time and I completely understand why. Because it is one of those things where there isn’t always a clear logical explanation and sometimes you simply have to memorize the pattern. And yes, I know everyone hates hearing that.We are going to talk about gerunds and infinitives, or more specifically, verb patterns.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about things that affect learning and language learning specifically and that might not come that naturally to you. Because sometimes people think the biggest problem is grammar or vocabulary, not having enough talent or not having enough time. And yeah, those are very often the most visible and key problems that everyone talks about. But I want to talk about more sneaky things. Things that are securely hidden in our habits, our mindset, our attention span, our fear of embarrassment and in the way we talk to ourselves and that can severely influence the way we view our learning journey.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is going to be a little cultural and historical but also a little weird and I want to say this at the very beginning so you can decide if you want to continue listening. We will talk about serial killers, which means we will mention violence and some disturbing situations. I will keep it as non-graphic as possible, which means I won’t be describing anything in detail but still, this topic is not for everyone, so if you know that this kind of content makes you uncomfortable, maybe skip this one and come back next week.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I was thinking that today we could come back to grammar buut in a fun way. And I know… grammar doesn’t always sound like the most exciting topic, but you know, this one is actually very useful and also quite easy once you understand the logic behind it. What is it? Second conditional! I found out that you really really have to hear it many times and practice it many times to actually be able to include it in your active use so I think, this might be helpful.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is something that comes up in my lessons all the time and I feel like there is still a lot of confusion around it. And that is the difference between pronunciation and accent.

This episode is a follow up on the last one and it will talk about the advanced words that I learned from Taylor Swift songs – those are the ones I learned just like two years ago or so. Those are the kind of words that make you stop a song and think, wait, what does that mean?⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADYNázvy písniček:"Sanctimoniously" = 🎵But Daddy I Love Him"Rivulets" =🎵 My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys"Also-ran" =🎵 The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived"Litany" = 🎵My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys"Clandestine" = 🎵 Illicit Affairs⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

This episode will be vocabulary-focused. And specifically, about the words I learned from Taylor Swift’s songs. Before I start, if you don’t like her or her songs, that is none of my business, to be honest. You don’t have to like her. I like her songs and they helped me to improve my English because she doesn’t use just basic vocabulary and it is really easy to learn and remember when you can listen to it in the songs again and again. And I am almost 100% sure that you will learn some new vocabulary, useful vocabulary, today too.

Today we’re talking about American work culture.If you’ve ever watched American movies or series, you might have this picture in your head. Big offices. Coffee to go. Fast talking. Big ambitions. People who “love the grind.” To grind means to work very hard. And yes, ambition is definitely part of the culture. But today I want to talk about the practical side. Vacation, maternity leave and retirement. Because some of it might surprise you.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)🔐PHRASAL VERBS UNLOCKED: klikni sem- můj e-book :) Hosted on Acast.

This episode is the fourth part of my phrasal verb series, where we talk about real life and we focus on phrasal verbs at the same time.

This episode is about how I learned to speak without translating.Because if you’re advanced, you probably know this feeling very well. You understand English. You can read articles, watch series, listen to podcasts, read full books and so on. But when you open up your mouth, something happens. There is a pause.

This episode is the first part of a five-part series where we’ll look at phrasal verbs through real-life topics. Not as isolated vocabulary, not as a list of verbs and definitions, but as something that naturally shows up when we talk about life, work, studying, motivation, and, also about a topic that is very close to my heart… mental health.

Today, we’re going to talk about something that sounds boring but is actually confusing and, at least to me, a little funny. The American measurement system. Also known as the imperial system.

Today’s episode is going to be very practical, because we are talking about something that can seriously impact your score in PET, FCE and CAE. Even students at higher levels keep repeating the same persistent grammar mistakes. They sneak into your writing, into your speaking, and if you’re stressed, they suddenly resurface and ruin an otherwise perfect answer. So today, we’re going to fix that.Let’s jump into the most common grammar mistakes students make in Cambridge exams ... and more importantly, how to correct them.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we’re doing something a little different. Something fun. And also a little chaotic.I’m going to tell you 10 facts you probably didn’t know about me. Why? Well, because every time I share something personal, people seem to enjoy it. And honestly, sometimes it’s nice to lift the curtain, which means to reveal something private, and show you the human behind the microphone.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

I AM BACK!!!So, what are we doing today? Well, today we’re doing something I know many of you love: advanced phrasal verbs. I know, the phrase “phrasal verbs” probably gives you mild anxiety, like the kind where you suddenly forget every single verb you’ve ever learned. But don’t worry, I’m here to make them painless. Or… at least less painful.Podpoř mě tady: (If you want to financially support my work, now you can here): BUY ME A COFFEE - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :)⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we are mixing the best of both worlds- some grammar and also my personal views on things. Because I am sure everyone is super interested in my ideas, opinions and views. Sometimes I feel guilty and weird about talking about my own stories and opinions, like, who do I think I am? And why should anyone care? So that is why I decided to connect it to a grammar topic, so in case you don’t care, it can be beneficial to you in a different way.

Today’s topic is something almost every student has heard at least once: “You should learn English from movies!”It is so much fun, right?

What period will we talk about?  The 1920s! …which are often called The Roaring Twenties, and then we’ll talk about what happened next: the Wall Street crash in 1929, followed by the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Today, I wanted to share something quite personal and current: my own experience of learning a language with the help of AI. Because yes, even as an English coach, I am also a language student myself. I’m learning French, and AI has become a surprisingly big part of my routine. So let’s look together at what I’ve found out… the good and the bad.If you want to financially support my work, now you can here: https://coff.ee/dagmartomaskova - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :) ⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is especially for those of you who are preparing for the Cambridge exams like FCE or CAE.Because I am going to talk about common mistakes I see students make all the time. And trust me, I’ve seen a lot of them because I’ve helped so many students prepare over the years. Today we’ll go over them together, and I’ll try to explain why they matter and what you can do instead. Think of this as a little coaching session with me.If you want to financially support my work, now you can here: https://coff.ee/dagmartomaskova - but don't feel like you have to, it is just an option :) ⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today we’re talking about something that I think is secretly driving all English learners (and honestly, even native speakers) a little crazy. And that is... English expressions that appear in the vocabulary of the young generation out of nowhere and it takes a while to understand what they actually mean.  The kind of phrases that, if you don’t know them, it is really hard to understand, why anyone would say them.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

 I flew to London. It was my third time going there, but you can take it as my little travel diary because I will tell you, briefly, what I did and saw in London. I am not a very descriptive person when it comes to trips. My mum always asks me - so tell me about London (or Barcelona or any other city I traveled to) and my answer is - yeah, it was great, you know, we did this and that and that’s about it. But here we go.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today’s episode is going to be a mix of two things: grammar and regret. And if you’re thinking “ugh, grammar,”-don’t worry. I’m going to explain everything as simply as possible, like I’m explaining it to a five-year-old. And then, we’ll get into some real-life stories. Because yes, we all have regrets - I have many regrets and today I will share some of them with you. It is quite personal, so buckle up. ⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today, I have a special message for you. And I don’t say this lightly… Learning English is basically the same as going to the gym. Or eating healthy. Really, let me prove it to you.Why are these two things - fitness and language learning - basically twins? I was thinking about it, again, when I was listening to a fitness podcast and fitness coaching and how much of fitness coaching I can see in language teaching and coaching too. It is really interesting. I feel like when you make this connection, it really makes learning languages more tangible - tangible is that it is real, you can basically touch it, feel it, experience it - what I mean by that is that speaking a language is a skill, it is invisible, it is in our mind - the results are difficult to track if you don’t write a level test every other month. But with working out, you can see physical results in the real world after a while and maybe, if I give you this connection, it will help you visualize what learning a language looks like in our head. So imagine that learning a language is something like working out for our brain. Why? Let me explain…⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today, I want to talk about something that I think all of us have thought about at some point: Should I enjoy life right now… or should I wait and work for future happiness?This idea comes from a study I read — don’t worry, it’s not boring, I promise. And I’ll explain everything in simple English so even if your English isn’t perfect, you’ll still understand. This episode is also a great way to learn vocabulary connected to emotions, goals, and decisions.⭐Přepis a slovíčka: TADY⭐ Napiš mi zprávu, jak se ti to líbilo (můj instagram:) TADY (@dagmar–tomaskova)email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
