Sentences that are too short and simple is an issue that all language learners face. We can say what we want, but we don't sound natural because all of our sentences sound like children.In this episode, we're going to practise extending sentences and making more natural phrases using Relative Clauses. I spend just 5 minutes reviewing the grammar, and then delve into a casual chat where I share my answers to a few questions using these patterns, and I invite you to do the same.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast345➡️ Join the Free Mini Course - https://www.levelupenglish.school/mini⭐️ Join Level Up English - https://www.levelupenglish.school Become a member and get: Podcast Transcripts Private Podcast Group Classes Private Coaching And over 500 online lessons!
In this powerful episode, we dig into the heartbreaking story of Logan Federico — and the shocking failures in South Carolina's criminal justice system that helped create it. With 70 charges and 25 felony convictions, Alexander Dickey should have been behind bars. Instead, a system of repeat suspended sentences and political cronyism kept him free, leading to devastating consequences. We break down how South Carolina's legislature-controlled judicial appointments have created one of the nation's most lenient environments for violent offenders, why “Republicans” are appointing liberal judges, and how big law firms profit from this revolving door of justice. We'll also look at the explosive aftermath of a judge's $1.5 million Edisto Island home being destroyed — and the media's rush to paint it as a “MAGA attack.” Coming up at 8:00, you'll hear directly from Logan Federico's father, whose testimony before Congress has gripped the nation. This is a story about corruption, heartbreak, and why South Carolina's justice system needs reform now.
Slang words like “rizz” and “unalive” aren't just passing fads but reveal how social media algorithms are shaping the way we talk. Linguist Adam Aleksic explains how slang spreads, why emojis are still so popular and how technology is accelerating the pace of language change.

They didn't even say thank you. Not “they didn't say thank you.” They didn't even say thank you. So… what's the deal with even in negative sentences?In Episode 880, we looked at how to use even in general - like for comparisons and emphasis. But today, we're going to zoom in on something more specific… and honestly, something really common - using even in negative sentences.Join my Podcast Learner's Study Group here: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/plsgVisit my website for over 3,000 free English lessons: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/My AI English Tutor is HERE
In this episode, we dissect one of South Carolina's most shocking examples of systemic failure in the criminal justice system. Alexander Devonte Dickey, a career criminal, racked up 35 years' worth of suspended sentences across multiple cases—all while judges repeatedly let him walk free. This pattern of judicial leniency culminated in the senseless murder of 22-year-old Logan Federico, sparking national outrage and a congressional hearing. We explore how South Carolina's unique judicial appointment system, political influence, and legal loopholes allowed this dangerous cycle to continue unchecked. Featuring unfiltered testimony from Logan's grieving father, we examine the consequences of a broken system, the role of prosecutors, and the urgent need for legislative reform to prevent future tragedies. From suspended sentences to systemic corruption, this episode reveals how the law failed and why justice must be reimagined.
Today's episode dives deep into the shocking realities of America's justice system, from South Carolina to Texas. We examine how decades of suspended sentences and judicial leniency allowed career criminals like Alexander Devonte Dickey to remain free, ultimately leading to the tragic death of Logan Federico. With firsthand testimony from her father, we uncover the systemic flaws, political influence, and legal loopholes that keep dangerous offenders on the streets. We also explore breakthroughs in cold case investigations, including the long-unsolved Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas, solved through modern DNA technology and persistent detective work, highlighting both the power and limitations of law enforcement. This episode exposes a justice system at a crossroads: the human cost of suspended sentences, the corruption baked into judicial appointments, and the life-saving potential of forensic innovation. It's a sobering look at how law, policy, and technology collide in cases of life, death, and accountability.

John's first letter addresses believers disturbed by false prophets, offering them blessed assurance through fundamental truths. He emphasizes that the gospel of Jesus is complete, based on eyewitness testimony, not requiring new additions. John teaches that true fellowship centers entirely on Jesus Christ - we must decide if Christianity is absolutely true or completely false, as there is no middle ground. Finally, he reveals that our joy becomes complete when we share the message of Jesus with others, experiencing a fulfillment that cannot be taken away.

St. Albert the Great (1206-1280) mastered every field of study available to him, from astronomy to zoology. He was called the “miracle of his time,” not because he performed miracles, but because he was considered an authority - on the level of St. Augustine and Peter Lombard - even within his own lifetime. He was the mentor and teacher of a more famous doctor of the Church: St. Thomas Aquinas.

In this second episode of Hawthornden's Como Conversazione, we explore beginnings. Anyone who has been around kids knows that a good Lego build starts with a good base. In a translation, this is the first sentence of a text. First sentences are so often the most famous lines. They are a place for a translator to make their mark. They dictate the voice in which the book unfolds. But has the importance of the first sentence been overly inflated?
Sentences could only get tougher for drivers who kill under the influence, as a 20-year-old's been sent to prison. Alexander Lucas Kerr has been sentenced to 27 months in prison, after a crash killed one of his friends and left the other in a wheelchair. He was found with cannabis in his system when he crashed his car in a semi-rural part of Havelock North in January. Criminal defence lawyer John Munro says Kerr doesn't qualify for home detention, despite heavy discounts to his sentence. He says if the starting point remains the same in a year, discounts could be capped at 40-percent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This new era of AI-driven startups has many founders still believing success is about having the perfect product roadmap. The truth, however, is far more counterintuitive.In this episode, Yaniv and Chris dive into timeless lessons from Paul Graham's legendary essay “Startups in 13 Sentences”. Drawing from Graham's wisdom and their own experiences, they break down why co-founders matter more than ideas, why “launch fast” is the golden rule, and why understanding users is harder (and more important) than chasing growth.In this episode, you will:Learn why choosing the right co-founder is the most important decision you'll ever makeUnderstand why launching fast is less about speed and more about learning from real usersDiscover why evolving your idea matters more than defending a perfect planSee how understanding users drives sustainable growth (and why chasing vanity metrics kills startups)Explore why great customer service that 'doesn't scale' is actually a secret weaponUnpack the dangers of measuring the wrong things and how to track what truly mattersFind out why distractions (even profitable ones) are the silent killers of young startupsFor founders serious about building in the AI era, these lessons, though written 16 years ago, are more relevant than ever. Startups succeed not by following conventional wisdom, but by mastering the counterintuitive truths that define Silicon Valley's greatest companies.Read Paul Graham's "Startups in 13 Sentences" here: https://paulgraham.com/13sentences.html The Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!

In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski challenges one of the most common—and misleading—phrases in school leadership: “Let's get on the same page.”While it may sound like alignment and feel like unity, this phrase often leads to passive agreement, false harmony, and a school culture built on appeasement—not real accountability.Chanie shares why being “on the same page” is no longer her goal—and how installing shared standards, guardrails, and team rhythms can transform your school systems and restore trust across your staff.If you're tired of repeating the same expectations over and over, this episode offers a leadership framework for creating clarity, follow-through, and sustainable team ownership—without micromanaging.What You'll LearnWhy “being on the same page” creates confusion, not clarityHow to lead with shared standards that drive school-wide accountabilityWhy rhythms and systems—not reminders—protect your school cultureA practical framework for restoring team ownership without overfunctioningWhat false harmony is costing you in terms of trust, time, and retentionHow to navigate team members with inconsistent follow-throughKey Insights“On the Same Page” Is a Leadership MirageIt creates a false sense of alignment while team members continue to operate with unclear expectations. Real school culture is built through systems, clarity, and ownership—not agreement alone.Standards Build Clarity—Ownership Creates StabilityYour team doesn't need the same words. They need the same follow-through. When team roles are clearly defined and reinforced, it reduces micromanaging and school burnout.Guardrails Make Standards StickSystems like recommitment rhythms, role clarity, and consistent follow-up help move your team from second-guessing and scrambling to anchored, confident leadership.Overfunctioning Leaders Block OwnershipWhen school directors or owners jump in to “just fix it,” it reinforces a culture of dependency and disempowers the team. Guardrails allow you to stop doing it all—and let your staff rise.The Guardrails Framework: Try This InsteadTired of repeating the same school standard over and over? Use this 3-part framework to reinforce shared ownership and sustainable systems:1. Define Follow-Through → What does success look like for each role? → Be specific, especially when addressing low accountability or inconsistent team members.2. Install a Recommitment Rhythm → Use weekly check-ins, midpoint reviews, or 1:1s to revisit standards regularly. → Don't build new rules—recommit to existing ones with intention.3. Clarify Ownership → Who is responsible for what? → Sustainable school operations require role clarity and systems that reduce friction.Memorable Quotes “You don't need matching words. You need matching follow-through.” “Culture isn't built by agreement. It's built by what we hold—together.” “If the standard is that children go home clean, your schedule must support that.”Why This Matters for School LeadersReduces the pressure of overfunctioning and the mental load of repeating standardsShifts team dynamics from passive compliance to real accountabilityHelps overwhelmed school directors install systems that actually stickStrengthens school retention and team trust by building predictable rhythmsProtects your school culture from burnout, resentment, and low follow-throughResources & Next Steps...
