For the love of English language.
It's been over two years but I'm back, and I couldn't be more excited! In this episode, I reintroduce myself and share the new direction for this podcast. If you've ever struggled with speaking English confidently or finding your voice in conversations, this space is for you. Join me as I talk about:

*Seriously, You've Got This* It's just the third week of the year, but you're already feeling overwhelmed by the way everyone around you seems to be serious about their lives while you look like the only one with an NFA (no future ambitions), then you should listen to this. It might surprise you that the problem isn't what you think the problem is. Also, the solution might not be what you think it should be. I recorded this for you because I've been there. In fact, maybe everyone with dreams and aspirations will be in that situation at different points of their lives. I'd love to get your feedback after you've listened. Again, great one, you've got this.

To correctly use verbs like DO, DOES HAVE and HAS in sentences (beginning) with WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW, THERE etc, check the noun or pronoun being referred to in the sentence. Same basic rule applies — singular nouns + singular verbs; plural nouns + plural verbs. For more in-depth explanations on verbs, numbers and tenses, check the Eloquent Elites Community on Facebook.
"Rise" and "arise" are often mixed up in daily use. The most daunting task, however, is using them correctly during the Easter period. Listen to this podcast episode to find the correct ways of using the forms of "rise" and "arise" as well as how to say your Easter greetings properly.
"C'mon" is the shortened version of the phrase "come on". It is used to encourage someone, urge a person to take an action or express refusal to believe something. "Common" is an adjective used to describe something as not special, found/done often or it is shared by or it belongs to two or more people or a group.
"Procrastination" is meant to be pronounced with an "r" after the "c", just like it is pronounced with an "r" after the "p". In other words, "pRocRastination" had 2 Rs in it. For "postpone", there's no "r" in the word, so it is wrong to add the sound of letter "r" to its pronunciation.
The "s" in "pursue" and "pursuit" isn't pronounced as the "sh" in "shoe"; rather, it's pronounced as the "s" in "sue".
