Here we go again with more phrasal verbs! After episode 121 (What are Phrasal Verbs and How to Learn Them) I realized it would be much better to group phrasal verbs by particle (UP) instead of the main verb, so this episode is about exactly that. I&apos;ll talk about different phrasal verbs with UP, and give you a few meanings for each so you can practice them and incorporate them into your day-to-day because that&apos;s what it&apos;s about. Today&apos;s phrasal verbs are: turn up, give up, heat up and put up with.  Remember, it&apos;s not about learning everything at once, but about feeling comfortable and confident with using what you learn. So, heaphones in, and take notes!Support English with Dane

Phrasal Verbs with UP

This episode has been a long time coming. This is a question I often get from students, and so I&apos;ve put this episode together to answer it. There&apos;s no real difference between increasing your vocabulary in English and in your native language, but when it comes to a second language, the effort needs to be more present. I feel that a lot of you are experiencing a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking English because you feel like you&apos;re going to get stuck mid-sentence and not know how to continue. Well, this episode will help you combat that feeling, but you have to put in the time yourself. Remember, there are no miracle methods to this, just time, attention, and a little bit of proactiveness. So, let me know if these strategies work for you! Support English with DaneFREE TRANSCRIPTS 

How to Increase Your Vocabulary in English

This might seem like a basic episode (or not) but I think it&apos;s a necessary one. I get a lot of questions about phrasal verbs from a variety of students, beginners and more advanced ones too, so I thought I would address those questions with an episode dedicated specifically to what they are, and more importantly: how to learn them.  This episode includes three practical tips to make your life easier when it comes to learning phrasal verbs, while at the same time comforting those of you who feel frustrated by them, and have decided to leave them somewhere in the back of your mind. Phrasal verbs are super useful and actually kind of fun to discover, so listen to this episode and enjoy a fresh, renewed approach. Let me know how it goes.FULL FREE TRANSCRIPTSOutro song: "You" by Tumaca

What Are Phrasal Verbs and How to Learn Them

GET ready! GET a pen and paper and take notes because it&apos;s GETTING real. ? All jokes aside, this is a topic that a lot of English learners have a difficult time with, so here&apos;s a quick guide on how to use the verb to get. This episode was inspired by Maura who is one of my Patrons and with whom I had a long conversation with last week. She told me it&apos;s hard to wrap her head around (good expression there) the concept, so hopefully this will help clear up any doubts you had.

The Guide to "GET"

An important episode in which I address, or talk about, a question I get asked very often about studying grammar and how important it is. Over the last year or so, I&apos;ve noticed some teachers preaching to disregard, or not care about, grammar when trying to level up your English and while there is some good that can come out of this approach, I think it&apos;s restrictive and can hurt your development in the long run. It&apos;s better to understand guidelines and then choose to ignore them, than to ignore them in the first place. I know everyone is different and everyone has a learning style that suits them, but this episode is my two cents (good idiom there) on the matter. Let me know what you think about the subject. @englishwithdaneExclusive episodes, live sessions and more.

Should I be Studying Grammar?

This episode of English with Dane is full of new, practical vocabulary for you! We&apos;re reading a weird news story about some toy thieves in Holland and it will give us the opportunity to look over new words, expressions, idioms, etc to add to your arsenal. Who knew that Lego and Pokemon items could be valuable enough to have people smashing their cars through windows to get their hands on them! ¯_(ツ)_/¯  The story in question: Van smashes through Dutch toy store window to steal Lego and Pokemon toysLearn More  & Support the Show: Patreon.com/englishwithdane

I know how you feel about idioms, so here are some more! I also like talking about them because it gives me a chance to reflect on how I speak, which idioms I use the most, and how I interact with people in general. Idioms are a great way to make yourself sound more natural in when speaking English, so I always recommend to have some in your back pocket (there&apos;s another idiom!).

It&apos;s been a while since I did one of these movie reviews so let&apos;s see how it goes. You guys voted on Instagram and Moview Review won so here it is. I reviewed the 2021 movie The Suicide Squad which I watched a few weeks back. Maybe it&apos;s not the movie you want to talk about, but really, the point is to arm you with the tools (darte las herramientas) to talk about your favorite (or not) movies with friends, colleagues, or whoever you&apos;re chatting to at the time. So I hope this episode does exactly that. If you haven&apos;t watched the movie yet, then SPOILER ALERT. If you don&apos;t really care about the movie and you&apos;re probably never going to watch it, then go ahead!

Movie Review: The Suicide Squad 2021

What&apos;s up? What&apos;s going on?  This episode of English with Dane was inspired by a conversation I had with a listener over Instagram. I found myself giving him advice on how to improve, how to take that next step and I&apos;m pretty sure it was motivated by him saying he wants to talk like ME one day. I answered that I would prefer if he spoke like himself (but in English) and after thinking about it for a few days, I thought it would be useful to record an episode about this idea of "being yourself in English". It seems like a straightforward thing, something that is clear and simple, but it made me really think. This episode has good vocab and stuff like that, but it&apos;s more of a philosophical episode, with advice mixed in. Let me know if it was useful for you. Enjoy!

How to Be Yourself In English

I&apos;m back! Again! And so is Strange News! This episode of English with Dane is about a really strange piece of news I found the other day that I thought I&apos;d share with you all. It&apos;s something that happened in Nashville (Tennessee, USA) and is really... well not just weird but also surprisingly stupid. As always, there&apos;s a bunch of practical vocabulary, expressions, phrasal verbs, etc for us to sink our teeth into (what a good expression).

The aim of these read-along episodes is not just to get back into the habit of reading articles, but also making it a fully immersive little journey into an interesting topic that we can learn from and apply when it comes to English-learning. As always, there&apos;s interesting vocabulary, expressions and more, so tune in and find out about how good it is to say "no".

Article Read-Along: The Ultimate Productivity Life Hack is Saying No

This episode of English with Dane is about the Comfort Zone and the role it plays in English-Learning, and well, in everything we do really. I think that oftentimes, we become comfortable in our routine, in our choices, jobs, etc and we forget to push ourselves to grow and really enjoy ourselves on our way to becoming who we want to be. This is not a grammar-heavy episode, but as always, there are some great new words to incorporate into your arsenal. The goal for this episode is to get you thinking about your own comfort zone and how to push yourself, in a way that works for you, or maybe even better: in a way that doesn&apos;t, to break out and get to where you want to be.Support English w/ Dane and help keep the show going:patreon.com/englishwithdaneFollow English with Dane on Instagram

The Comfort Zone

So over the last few weeks, I&apos;ve come across a few verbs in English that are probably lesser-known (menos conodidos) and could potentially confuse you if you&apos;ve never encountered them before. I wrote them down and here they are. I think you&apos;ll enjoy these, and I hope you can incorporate them into your day-to-day. Plus, they&apos;ll make you sound smarter and more fluent, which is always cool. Don&apos;t stress out about learning and using all of these, because as always, the goal is to be aware of them and not to force them into conversations. This episode covers 6 verbs, but more than 6 definitions. I want to say that these are NOT all the possible definitions, but I didn&apos;t want to get carried away (no me quise dejar llevar). So, sit back and listen to this episode of English with Dane and as always, I hope it helps!Sign up to the first English with Dane Live WorkshopFollow the show on Spotify

Another conversation episode! I really enjoy these episodes because I get to sit down with someone and just chat for a while. We don&apos;t talk about english-learning really, but that&apos;s by design. I think it&apos;s more important to be able to talk about anything and everything and to get used to the pace and production style of different native speakers. Don&apos;t worry if you don&apos;t understand everything. Don&apos;t worry if you only understand 60% or 40%. It&apos;s more about being comfortable with the discomfort that a fast-paced conversation can provoke. I´ll pause once in a while to explain vocabulary or expressions that we use throughout the conversation, so just sit back and listen.Dane
