In this episode, you will learn how native English speakers talk when they are not exact. This is common in everyday conversation when people speak about numbers, amounts, or descriptions. Instead of giving a precise answer, they use simple words to give only a general idea. You will often hear this in daily life, on TV, in films, and in conversations between friends.Many English learners find this difficult to understand because it is not usually taught in textbooks or traditional classes. By learning these expressions, you will understand real spoken English more easily. You will also be able to use them yourself to make your English sound more natural, confident, and fluent in real situations.Share Your ThoughtsSupport the showImprove your English step by step.

Just in case you were wondering, this is another podcast English lesson. And in case you like what I'm gonna teach here, I'll give you some tips to help you remember it. Today, I want to help you out with a handful of phrases that all use the words “in” and “case.” In this lesson, we're going over expressions like “in case,” “in case of,” “just in case,” “in any case,” “in that case,” and  “whatever the case.” These are super common in daily English, and they each have their own little twist when it comes to grammar and meaning.My AI English Tutor is HEREJoin my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/transcriptVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/

Guest: Karen McWaters MOT, OTR/LEarn 0.1 ASHA CEU for this episode: https://www.speechtherapypd.com/courses/the-importance-of-motor-and-language-learning-for-effective-Originally Aired: September 2023As SLPs, we can often look at speech and language development in isolation, as our formal assessments encourage us to do; however, it is imperative that we learn from our occupational and physical therapy colleagues regarding motor learning principles and how they parallel those of language development. When we get out of our box, we can further understand the children we work with and their capacities. Erin and Karen will discuss their journey of collaborating within this context and how they learned from each other to help the children they worked with reach further potential.About the guest: Karen is an Occupational Therapist living and working in Greenville, South Carolina. She received her BS in Public Health from Clemson University and her Masters of Occupational Therapy degree from Georgia State University in Atlanta. Her professional interests include sensory processing and praxis, neurodevelopment, DIR/Floortime, functional vision, and (most recently) trauma informed care. Karen loves that this job enables partnerships with families to meet each child's unique needs and harnesses the power of relationships to impact each kid's life using their motivations and interests.
