“Having said that” is a useful transitional phrase that has become common in spoken language. When people say, “Having said that” it is a signal that they are gonna say something which will contrast or disagree with what they said a moment ago.For the full transcipt go to: https://www.myfluentpodcast.com/?p=861Now, having said that, I would tell you as well that in education and in healthcare in particular, the two words that you're going to hear for the next decade are going to be transparency and efficacyHaving said that, we must recognize that these detention policies cannot be unbounded.ObamaOn episode 21 (22) we want to cover the expression “having said that”. Having said that is a transitional phrase that has become more and more common in spoken language. When people say, “having said that”, it is a signal that they are going to say something which will contrast or disagree with what they said a moment ago. And to be honest with you. I came to learn about this expression just today when I was listening to a podcast called Inglespodcast. And before that I always misinterpreted this expression. So it's about time to discuss this expression and learn it for good. So the Inglespodcast puts it this way have a listen:So it's when you want to give a different opinion about something. An example would be he forgets most things. This is probably me. Craig forgets most things, but having said that, he always remembers my birthday. So what that really means is, despite what has just been said, despite what has just been said. And when you want to give a contrasting opinion, so you give one opinion, but then you want to contrast it with another comment. Even though you think both things are true, you could say, for example, Apple products are expensive. Having said that, I must admit they're very well made, so many people use that expression. Having said that, some people don't. Some people say “That being said“, it's not so common, but it means the same thing. Here's an example, but Peter was reading, listening, and writing are all very good. That being said, his speaking needs to be improved. I could replace it with, having said that, his speaking needs to be improved. So that being said is a variation of having said that,InglespodcastSome synonymesWhat would be some synonyms we could use? Well. It's that simple, for example there is: However, though, after saying that, nonetheless, nevertheless.…hearing about the importance of local connection, uh, and instead of just sort of the network participation serving that community, any thoughts about that? I think where we're headed is to become more national. Now, having said that, what I really mean is local. That sounds like a paradox, but by, by saying more national, I think NPR has realized that it is more important now, maybe more than ever before for them to reach out beyond the beltway, beyond the traditional coastal media centers and reach out to different parts of the country.Current Conversations, Dick Pryor, Episode #218 (at 19.55 minutes)https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1197&v=ugmEXTZbEY0&feature=emb_logoAs always, you can read along while you are listening to this podcast.

This episode features an interview with English teacher and podcaster Craig Wealand from InglesPodcast.com Craig is originally from Essex in England, but now lives in Valencia in Spain where he works as an English teacher and Cambridge examiner for the British Council. Craig has been an English teacher for over 20 years, and for the last few years he has also been producing episodes of his learning English podcast, which won the award for Best Educational Podcast in the UK Podcaster awards last year.

If you are a new listener to this award-winning podcast, welcome!  We'll help you improve your English and take it to the next level.Today we are joined by Martin. In this episode: The Order of Adjectives Before a Noun   Más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  More podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/  This week’s feedback: Alfredo (audio feedback) Alfredo asks how he can improve his accent. People say that when he speaks English he has a strong Italian accent. How can he improve this? Don't worry about your Italian accent, Alfredo. The most important thing is that people understand you when you speak. It tickles my fancy = it appeals to me, I like it The Order of Adjectives Before a Noun Sometimes we use more than one adjective in front of a noun: He’s a fat old man. (not Xold fatX)She's an attractive, French businesswoman.Martin's got an old, yellow bike. colour blind - daltónico We usually have one or two adjectives before a noun. Three is unusual: This is a boring, expensive, thick English text book. Adjectives usually (but not always) come in this order: 1. Opinion 2. Size 3. Age 4. Shape5. Colour 6. Origin (nationality)7. Material Other Qualities could include, for example, thin (Thickness), light (Weight), warm (Clothes), etc. A warm leather jacket.A beautiful warm day. bulky - voluminoso/a A heavy, bulky Swiss suitcase Numbers come first: One lovely German woman. six large eggs.half a dozen free-range eggs.My second big chance Use commas when there’s more than one adjective: A wonderful, long, relaxing holiday. (but sometimes commas are not used with short, common adjectives: lovely blue eyes, a tall dark stranger.) Occasionally, adjectives come AFTER nouns. for example in fixed expressions like 'president elect', 'secretary general', 'God Almighty!' All things/Everything/Anything/Anywhere etc All things culinary excite me; Anything Greek interests Mike. Some adjectives CAN’T come before a noun. They come after the verb. (Predicative) The boy is asleep/afraid/awake/alone/alike/alright. (NOT “the asleep/alone/etc. boy”) Most begin with letter “a______” Practice house (modern, attractive)dog (black, huge)day (lovely, sunny)nose (red, large)face (round, friendly)phone (expensive, Japanese)car (new, sports, red)boots (leather, black, sexy)table (modern, glass, ugly) Discussion Describe the following (using no more than 2 adjectives): your flatthe clothes you’re wearingone another! Martin/Craig/RezaValenciathe room we're inour favourite possessionyour last holidayyour first girlfriend/boyfriendyour wife/husband/current partner (if different to above!!)Inglespodcast.com… ...and now it's your turn to practise your English.

Listener Feedback: Manuel (email) Friends Craig and Reza I am a lifelong student of the English language. In the future perhaps I'll go to an English-speaking country to finally learn it. -I have been to many academies, met many professors, and different methods and none of them satisfied me. -But now I'm happy because I found the duet "Craig and Reza", who represent the autentic way of teaching English,  listening and grammar at the same time. CONGRATULATIONS. You are magnificent. I hope quickly a section for Pronunciation.(I hope you will have a section on pronunciation) -I am a new follower through the monthly newsletter INGLESPODCAST, perhaps the most veteran student - eight two years old-but with great enthusiasm. -In conclusion, I ask several questions.          1. Where (day and Time) I may hear directly inglespodcast? - We do not broadcast the podcast live, but we publish a new episode every Sunday evening at about 8pm (Spanish time). 2. What is the actual translation of Podcast? - It is a combination of the words POD (from Apple's 'ipod' and CAST from the word 'broadcast' (emisión, transmisión) 3. What is the translation of the word PATREON? - Patreon is a company on the internet that helps people create art, music, film, dance ect (and, in our case, podcasts). It has a conection with the word 'patron' (patrocinador o rsponsor) 4. About Patreon I agree with the payment of 1 euro monthly - If you would like to sponsor us, you can go to https://www.patreon.com/inglespodcast and sign up for the Patreon program. 5. How is the payment made? - On the Patreon webpage, you write your name, email address and credit card details. You can also donate with the PayPal system. 6. After ALL the prepositions with OF, the verb in gerund going? (Does the gerund always follow the preposition 'of'?) The verb is always in the gerund form after EVERY PREPOSITION. This is one of the rules in English. - Thank you very much for your attention.  Don't falter - Many people trust in you - DO A GOOD JOB" Manuel, it's a pleasure for us to have you as a listener and Reza and I are very happy that we can help you improve your English a little (and maybe entertain you as well!).
