This episode of English with Dane is about something I think a lot of people need to hear. It's a topic that always seems to come up in different ways and so I wanted to share my thoughts on it. It's the idea of speaking like a native speaker. I think a lot of people have this as a goal when learning/practicing English and I'm not sure if is a healthy one. Are you setting yourself up to fail? Is it even achievable? Is it really important? This episode is about trying to answer these...

Before you listen, you should know that this is a particularly creepy episode of English with Dane. It's about a  moment in history that took place in Nebraska in 1983.

How many words do you need to know to understand a language? Many students have asked me this and I'm sure it's also a question you have asked yourself at times. This episode is an answer to that question. I found an article by the BBC that I think is very interesting and that answers this question pretty well, so I thought I would share.

That's why in this episode of English with Dane, we'll take a look at 5 practical phrasal verbs with "in" and make sure you...
