Ep.120: Amazing Words I Learned From Taylor Swift Songs (Part I)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

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. So let’s go!

Ep.119: Work Culture In the US - This Might Surprise You

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 06:00:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

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. Your brain freezes for a second.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT

This episode is the second part of my phrasal verb series, where we look at phrasal verbs through real-life topics. Not as isolated vocabulary, not as something you memorize for a test, but as language that naturally appears when we talk about emotions, relationships, boundaries, and mental health.

Today’s topic is… a little uncomfortable for some people, but very important.

People I’ve grown out of. And why that’s normal.

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

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.

Let’s jump into the most common grammar mistakes students make in Cambridge exams ... and more importantly, how to correct them.

Ep.108: Conditional Sentences and My Opinions About AI

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Today I want to take you back to a really interesting time in American history. Because I love talking about my stories, but I love talking about American history even more! 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. That period had a massive impact not just on the United States but also on the rest of the world. And yes, it also played a part in creating the conditions that led to the Second World War. So let’s just go for a little time-travel walk together.

Ep.92: My Experience With Learning a Language With AI (Advantages and Disadvantages)

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Ep.91: 8 Mistakes To Avoid If You Are Preparing For FCE Or CAE Cambridge Exam

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Ep.90: Expressions You NEED to Know to Understand Modern English

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Ep.89: What I Did and Saw In London

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Fri, 30 May 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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.

Ep.87: Why Learning English Is Like Going To The Gym

Fri, 23 May 2025 05:00:00 GMT

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…

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.

Ep.74: 10 Classic American Books – My Personal Picks and Why You Should Read Them 📚

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Today, we’re diving into literature—specifically, 10 classic American books that I think are worth reading. And since I have a master’s degree in English and American literature and culture, I’m not just pulling these titles out of thin air—I’ve actually read them all, thought about them a lot, and now, I get to share my thoughts with you. Also, I love literature and talking about it. These books are great in a way that they are very often referenced throughout the culture and you can also find them for free on the internet (legally) since the copyright continues to apply for 70 years after an artist or creator dies and a lot of the authors are dead for longer than that.

Of course, I was in my teenage years so my brain was still forming and retaining information, I am not saying that it is not an advantage but I still believe there are still a lot of things to take from it.

Ep.50: Stories of Assassinations of American Presidents

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 05:30:31 GMT

I am sure you heard about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump that happened just the other day. It was all over the news.

It brought me to the idea to walk you through some assassinations and assassination attempts of American presidents. It is a rather dark but fascinating part of American history. And we will talk about Trump’s attempt at the end as well.

Ep.49: Explaining Present Perfect Through Stories

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 05:30:54 GMT

Today I have decided to make a little bit different episode than usual. I wanted to talk about grammar. So boring, am I right? I wanted to talk about a tense that is very problematic for Czech students and that is present perfect, in Czech “předpřítomný čas”.

But don’t worry, I will try to make it interesting, at least a little bit. And I also prepared a little present for you- a grammar mind map that I drew that will help you orient yourself in that tense. You will find it in the transcription of the podcast. So let’s get into it!

Ep.48: Doing Things You Are Not Ready For

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 05:30:17 GMT

Today I am bringing you a small episode about a topic that is very close to my heart but also a topic that I come across with my students quite frequently. That topic is “doing things when you are ready for them”. What do I mean? It is the tendency to postpone things into the future because right now we feel like we don’t have the skills or competency to complete them. We will do it when we are ready. But what if that time never comes? I was thinking about it and I will show you some examples from my own life. Are you ready? Let’s go…

Ep.47: Why Do Americans Celebrate 4th of July? 🇺🇸

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 05:00:12 GMT

As I like to talk about American history and culture, I came up with the idea to introduce you a little bit to an American public holiday called The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day. It is coming next week so when is a better time for this than today?

So, Independence Day. What is it? We could say that it is the birthday of the United States. It is a big American holiday which is celebrated with fireworks, parades, and barbecues. But do you know why? If not, I’ve got you covered…

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 05:30:58 GMT

In today’s episode I am bringing you another insight into American culture and this time it is a funny one. I don’t know if you heard about it but there is a meme, a running joke that says that people in Florida are crazy. And that if you read about anything crazy on the internet, it almost always happened in Florida.

Fri, 10 May 2024 16:25:42 GMT

Today it will be kind of a special episode because today I want to try something a little different. When I ask my students about their goals with English, more often than not it is that they want to be able to have a conversation with a friend and understand what the other person is saying. So let’s practice, I can be your bestie for a few minutes but I will not only talk but also give you a lot of collocations and idioms that you could hear or use while having a friendly conversation.

Ep.39: How Much Do You Know About American History? (Part I)

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 05:00:33 GMT

In this episode, we will talk together about American history. Maybe some of you know that I studied English and English literature at the university but with that, a huge part of my studies was the culture of American and British society. And that is why I really like to talk about it and I am very interested in it. That is why this is one of the first episodes about this topic but certainly not the last because you can’t even imagine how interesting British and American history is. Sometimes it is really like a comedy. And sometimes also tragedy.

So today, I prepared for you a little fun quiz where you can listen, test yourself, and maybe learn something new. Are you ready? Here we go!

About today's episode:

This episode introduces you to the remaining 6 (out of 11) fun facts about Harry Potter! If you like these movies or books, this one will be fun for you :)

Usually, I am telling a story from my life but this episode will be special. Because today I will be talking about Harry Potter.

There are several reasons why I wanted to speak about Harry Potter. First of all, it was my favorite book and film series when I was younger and I still like it very much. And I grew up with that. Second of all, it has become an important part of English literature and it is considered one of the greatest stories from modern anglophone literature and I suppose that there are not many people who haven't about this series and I bet that the majority of you have seen the movies or read the books. And because I studied literature and I love learning language through reading, I thought it will be fun to talk about some interesting facts about Harry Potter.

Let me know what you think!
