Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

I’m back with another episode about conversation skills, my friends. Have a listen and see if you identify with this topic.

169. “I Thought You Were A White Man”

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

For some people, the idea that the way you talk is largely determined by the color of your skin is a bit strange. But in the U.S., talking ‘like a black person’ or ‘like a white person’ is an idea that’s deeply ingrained in our culture. This episode is a short story that illustrates the idea and gives you a bit of context to help you understand it.

160. How to Handle 'Awkward Silence'

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Many of us interpret this silence as an indication that something is wrong; we’re boring, they’re boring, someone’s uncomfortable, there’s nothing else to talk about, etc. But the reality is that silence can not only be pleasurable, but also a useful tool when making conversation with people, especially ones you don’t know very well. So in this episode, I’m gonna teach you to think about and use silence in a more productive way so you can have better conversations with anyone you meet.

152. I Want to Stay Single Forever

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 17:08:53 GMT

The idea of a life of freedom and independence has become increasingly popular in recent years… and for good reason. Less drama, less compromise, fewer sacrifices, no heartbreak… there are (and have always been) tons of reasons not to get involved in a committed relationship. But is it possible that avoiding this commitment could actually be the worst thing for your life in the long run? Perhaps choosing to commit to someone is, on some level, an act of self-preservation.

143. Am I The Asshole? 2

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 12:00:05 GMT

Back with another interesting story from the subreddit “Am I The Asshole?”

This one involves a single mother who’s struggling to get by, and a “friend” who desperately needs her help. The problem is that this so-called “friend” isn’t even trying to help herself. This leads to a bit of unnecessary conflict in their relationship and leaves the mother wondering, “Am I the asshole?”

133. The Best of Talking about Nothing (1-10)

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 12:00:58 GMT

Looking back on some of the best moments from the first 10 episodes of the Talking about Nothing series!

For the new listeners of the podcast, all the episodes titled “Talking about Nothing” are simply recordings of me talking about whatever comes to mind at the moment. The idea is that you’ll get a chance to hear what a native speaker sounds like when he’s speaking naturally without any preparation. As you will see once you listen to the episodes, my mind tends to travel from one place to another very quickly, and I end up talking about a bunch of random topics.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey to nowhere in particular.

130. Emotional Birds

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 12:00:28 GMT

John Gottman’s theory on Emotional Bids highlights an often overlooked aspect of communication; the way we respond to those who need something from us. There are 3 typical responses in situations like these: turning towards, turning away, and turning against. And you might be surprised how often you engage in each of these behaviors, as well as the effect it’s having on your relationships.

128. What Do You Do For A Living?

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 12:00:17 GMT

“What do you do (for a living)?” — It’s one of the most common questions you’ll get asked as an adult at social gatherings. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bar, a café, a networking event, or a family reunion. Work tends to be what occupies the majority of people’s time, so naturally, this is what people will ask about when meeting each other for the first time. But as I get older, I tend to appreciate this question less and less because although it’s meant to be a conversation starter, it usually has the opposite effect.

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 12:00:34 GMT

In this episode, we’ll explore the pros and cons of this approach, as well as a healthier alternative that’ll lead to less conflicts and more internal peace.

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 12:00:19 GMT

If you can make the corrections that I suggest in this episode, you’ll be putting yourself on the path to proficiency in this language. You’ll realize that no matter what goal you’re trying to achieve, it all starts with having the proper mindset!

108. 5 Good Minutes

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 23:00:45 GMT

In this episode, we’re talking about the profound impact of habits on the course of one's life. The results we experience in various aspects of life, such as finance and fitness, are often delayed reflections of our habits. But the thought of forming new and healthier habits is often very daunting because we typically imagine the herculean effort we're going to have to make in order to form those habits. — However, with the help of James Clear (author of the book ‘Atomic Habits’), I'm going to expose you to a concept that might change the way you think about forming simple habits that will have a massive impact on your future.

107. Americans Should Pay More

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 23:00:27 GMT

If you’ve ever traveled to a foreign country, then you may have experienced the manipulative pricing schemes that many people use to take advantage of customers who aren’t familiar with the way things work in that country. In many places, it’s common practice to charge tourists up to 10 times the price that a local would pay for the same products or services, especially if the tourists come from North American or European countries. — In this episode, I’ll speak about the practicality and morality of such pricing schemes, and why I think they’re a bad idea.

106. Over-functioning Parents

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 23:00:36 GMT

Being a parent is one of the many things in life that doesn’t come with an instruction manual. So naturally anyone who decides to become a parent is bound to make mistakes with the kids at some point. I don't have kids, but I have to imagine that as a parent, you're making mistakes all the time. — I mean, as a human, we're making mistakes all the time so I'm sure there's no difference.

One of the most detrimental mistakes that I've seen countless times and also experienced myself is what some people might call over-functioning for one’s children.

Over-functioning is basically doing things for your children that they can do for themselves. Some people say they do it out of love, others do it out of fear, but at the end of the day, constantly doing things for people that they can do for themselves isn't always a simple act of kindness. Sometimes you can train those people to be so dependent on you that they can't do anything for themselves. And that's not good for anyone.

So in today's episode, we're going to listen to a short clip from a conversation about this topic and I'll be here to explain all the nouns, verbs, and adjectives and then I’ll leave you with something to think about.

97. Your Teacher Is Lying to You

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:59:19 GMT

There are many great English teachers out there, but the sad truth is that some are just looking to profit off your ignorance and insecurity. Instead of providing the tools you need to reach your goal, they sell you the dream of English fluency without effort. All you have to do is keep watching their videos and buy their overpriced courses.

It’s troubling that many language teachers spend little to no time talking about what languages are actually used for: communication. As a result, many English learners obsess over grammar, accents, and unnatural vocabulary, believing these are the keys to becoming great communicators. They've been misled into thinking that staying in their comfort zones and avoiding the truth is the most effective path to fluency. This couldn't be further from the truth.

In this episode, I want to simplify things for all English learners seeking practical solutions that won't waste their time or break the bank. With the help of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jimmy Carr, I'm going to show you the only thing you need to be fluent in English.

96. American Comedians You Should Know

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 11:00:02 GMT

If you know me, then you know that I have an extremely dark sense of humor and I love stand up comedy.

As a language learner, being able to understand jokes and cultural humor is a sign that you’ve reached a relatively advanced level because stand up comedy is heavily influenced by culture. So if you can understand not only the words being said, but also the reason that people find it funny, then you’ve got a pretty good understanding of both the language and the culture.

So this episode is for all of my stand up comedy lovers who want to put their English to the test and get more familiar with American culture. This list of comedians is in no particular order, by the way. You can also check the description of this episode for a link to a YouTube playlist with some of the comedy specials I’ll be mentioning today.

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 12:05:26 GMT

In her article titled "A Partial Explanation of Zoomer Girl Derangement,” writer Zinnia, talks about the changes girls go through as they become women, focusing on how society views them. She explains the mixed feelings girls have about getting attention from men, feeling both powerful and vulnerable.

90. Why Are You So Quiet?

Wed, 15 May 2024 10:30:08 GMT

If you’re someone who’s comfortable being quiet in the presence of others, you might have noticed that your tendency to remain quiet drives some people crazy. You probably know how annoying it is to find out that someone doesn’t like you simply because you don’t speak as much as they would like you to.

Well in this episode, I’m gonna share a few ideas that might help you understand the mentality of the people who feel the need to ask, “Why are you so quiet?” And hopefully, help the people asking this question to understand the quiet ones a bit more as well.

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 11:00:37 GMT

In the last episode, I talked about the 2 distinct approaches that one may take when trying to learn a new skill; the theoretical approach and the practical approach. —The former focuses on preparation and research while the latter focuses on action and feedback. And although you probably understood the point of that episode with no problems, I’d like to drive the point home by staying in the context of learning English as a foreign language and explain the reason that the practical approach to learning will always be the best approach.

When was the last time you had a genuine conversation? Not a text chat or an email, but a real face-to-face, heart-to-heart conversation? It’s something that rarely happens these days, isn’t it?

People are busier, more immersed in the digital world, and more individualistic than ever before. Most of our interactions have been reduced to superficial, tweet-like sentences, emojis that display artificial emotions and reactions, and conversations that feel more like transactions than actual human connections.

In this episode, I’m going to explain how getting back to our roots and learning to communicate with others will make life better for all of us.

#62 - "Gen Z is Lazy and Weak"

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 11:00:20 GMT

Gen Z are living through a major societal change, and it seems that most of them simply aren’t prepared for it. But who’s fault is that? Is this generation really just a bunch of lazy, weak, and entitled kids who think they deserve the world for free? Or is it possible that Millennials, Gen X-ers, and Baby Boomers have something to do with this?

In this episode, you’re going to hear Jonathan Haidt’s thoughts on how Gen Z came to be so relatively weak in comparison to their predecessors, as well as clip of a young lady who’s struggling to cope with the reality of being an adult nowadays.

This is such an important topic that’s relevant to all of us, and I hope this episode will spark interesting conversations about how we can support the future of our society.

#61 - The Internet Sucks Now... Here's Why

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 11:00:35 GMT

Have you ever wondered why so many people stopped using Facebook?

Have you ever wondered how exactly Amazon became the first website you think of when you want to buy something online?

Have you ever wondered why so many content creators who had built massive followings on YouTube and Instagram suddenly rushed to TikTok back in 2020?

Have you ever wondered why your experience on all of these platforms somehow gets worse and worse overtime?

You might say that too many old people started using Facebook so all of the young people left.

You might say that Amazon is just more convenient than any other online retailer.

You might say that TikTok’s algorithms are simply better and more effective than the ones on YouTube and Instagram.

And you might say that your online experience gets worse because there are too many ads and too many creators making the same trash content.

But is it really that simple? What if there was a predictable pattern that almost every online platform followed in the search for higher profits market control? What if you could take a look behind the curtain and see how these online platforms systematically kill competition and creativity… while forcing buyers and sellers, creators and consumers to participate in their little game of monopoly?

Well, in this episode, I’m going to read a brilliant article written by the author and journalist Cory Doctorow about the predictable ways that every online platform we know of eventually turns to shit.

#59 - The Looking Glass Self

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 11:00:14 GMT

The concept of the "looking glass self" is central to the field of sociology, particularly symbolic interactionism. Coined by Charles Horton Cooley in his work "Human Nature and the Social Order" (1902), the term captures the idea that our self-concept and self-worth are heavily influenced by how we perceive others to perceive us. If you enjoy episodes about psychology and culture then this one is definitely for you!

And although it’s easy (and justifiable) to criticize ourselves when we procrastinate and avoid our responsibilities, it’s also important that we consider the source of this behavior if we’ll have any hope of overcoming it.

#50 - The Harsh Reality of Making Life Decisions

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 12:00:08 GMT

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never taken a class on decision-making. My parents never sat me down and taught me how to think deeply about the consequences of my actions.

When it comes to making life choices, the only teacher I’ve ever had was life itself. I’ve made decisions, those decisions have had consequences, and then I’ve analyzed those consequences with the hopes that I’ll be able to make even better decisions in the future.

But I’m a human being… and naturally, I want to feel a sense of certainty that the decisions I make will lead to the outcomes I desire. — And I’m sure you’re no different.

How do I know if I’m making the right decision?
How do I know if I should be persistent and keep moving toward my goal, or just quit and find something else to do?
How do I know if I’m using my time in the best way possible?

These are questions that all of us have asked or will ask ourselves at some point in life. And the harsh reality is that in most cases, the only person who can answer these question for us is the person we see in the mirror every morning.

But still, we continue to look to others for guidance, advice, and answers. — And in today’s episode, I’m gonna play a clip of a young lady looking for advice on how to know if she’s on the right path in life. — And the entrepreneur and content creator, Gary Vaynerchuk is going to share a perspective that I believe could help you to find some direction in your life as well.

#43 - The Biggest Lie about Relationships

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 12:00:12 GMT

From a very young age we are told countless lies about the purpose of committed relationships, how those relationships are developed, and what it takes to maintain them overtime. It's only as we get older and start trying to develop our own relationships that we actually realize relationships are not what we read about in fairytales, or see in movies or on social media.

Unfortunately, many of us never had anyone to teach us about how committed relationships work and so we were forced to learn through sheer observation. However, many of us we never taught to observe properly so we end up misinterpreting many other things that we see and hear.

What's the biggest misconception about committed relationships today? What is it that so many of us get wrong when it comes to choosing a partner, developing a relationship, and setting expectations of that relationship?

In today's episode of real English radio, we’re gonna listen to a clip from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferris about what Brené believes to be the biggest lie we’re told about relationships and the change in thinking we all need to make if we want to sustain a healthy partnership with someone.

#39 - Quiet People Have It Rough

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 18:55:32 GMT

A lot of people have a hard time dealing with silence, especially in the presence of another person. In many cultures, silence is viewed as a problem, a breakdown in communication, or a void that must be filled with some kind of noise. If the person we’re speaking with is silent too often or for too long, we tend to associate negative feelings with them such as boredom, awkwardness, and rejection. This episode will give you a different way to think about silence and help you to understand quiet people just a little bit better.

#38 - How to Talk to Women

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 01:27:09 GMT

Many of us have a really hard time talking to women (or people in general). And although all of us struggle at different times and for different reasons, I think there are two main things that keep us from improving this crucial skill.

A self-defeating mindset
A level of pride that keeps us from exiting our comfort zone and experiencing failure

So with the help of Charlie Houpert from Charisma on Command and the late, great Kevin Samuels, I'm going to share some ideas with you that will help you to develop the right mindset for communicating more effectively and find the source of motivation you need to step out of your comfort zone and learn a new skill.

#37 - The Benefit of the Doubt

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 04:21:27 GMT

From the day we are born to the day we die, we’re faced with countless ambiguous situations that require us to use our logic rather than our emotions to interpret things properly and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.

Unfortunately, most of us have little knowledge about human psychology and how our brains tend to function and or malfunction. This lack of understanding often leads us to misinterpret many situations and develop negative feelings or opinions about the various people we come into contact with on a daily basis.

So today, we're going to dive deeper into this topic and discuss the power that your perception has over the way you experience life. — If you are at all interested in psychology, communication, or interpersonal relationships, then this episode is definitely for you!

#28 - Tips for Better Language Exchanges

Tue, 02 May 2023 20:17:57 GMT

When you can’t afford to pay for private English lessons, language exchanges are the next best way to learn a foreign language. Why? Because we learn a language to communicate with real people. So by practicing with real people every day, you’ll be learning both the language and the culture in one of the most authentic ways possible.

The problem is that finding (and keeping) a good language exchange partner online is one of the hardest things for an English learner to do. Now, I’m not an expert on the subject, but I do have some tips that will make the process a bit easier for you.

#17 - The US Government Wants to Ban TikTok (Part 1)

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:21:42 GMT

On March 23, 2023, the CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew was asked to appear before the US congress and answer questions regarding TikTok’s invasive features, possible ties to the Chinese government, and extremely negative effects the app is having on people’s mental health.

According to the members of congress, this meeting would have been Mr. Chew’s opportunity to prove that TikTok can be trusted by the American people and that it shouldn’t be banned in the US. However, the congressional hearing ended up being a brutal 5 hours of what some people would call foolish questioning that left many of us thinking that TikTok will in fact be banned in the United States simply because the people who would enact this ban are afraid of something they clearly don’t understand.

So in this episode and the next one, we’re gonna be diving deeper into this situation and helping you learn much more about:

The English language
American culture & politics
How to listen attentively and understand the difference between what someone says and what they mean
What the banning of TikTok in The States could mean for people like you and me

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 21:51:16 GMT

Many of us (especially in the West) have been conditioned to believe that the most important thing in life is happiness, but I completely disagree with this idea. Happiness is simply a by-product of living properly and spending time doing things that are truly meaningful.

Pursuing what’s truly meaningful often requires us to step out of our comfort zones and overcome our fear of the unknown. And with the help of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Michael Sugrue, I’ll explain how a stoic mindset enables you to stand strong in the face of uncertainty and grow into a fully-realized (and happy) individual.
