Today’s expression and dialog:  flickering Do you have a minute? What do you need? The light in my room is flickering. I’ll change it for you.   Do you have fluorescent lights? You know, those LONG lights that are usually in ceiling lights at school and libraries and offices...well, I have two in my kitchen. And one of them was making me GO CRAZY!! It would be perfectly bright, then suddenly, it would go dark...then it would be bright dark bright dark bright dark bright dark... I would HIT it. And it would be fine. This occurred for about two months. But finally, the other day, I replaced the light! I now love my kitchen again!! WHAT WORD can we use for a light that is ABOUT to die? We can use the same word for "a candle in the wind"! Have a very nice day,Coach Shane     Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY! Support Coach Shane by giving $1 a month!

Today’s expression and dialog: a knee-jerk reaction/response What do you think of the riots? Well, my knee-jerk reaction is to support the people. But? But, after I thought about it, violence with violence never solves anything.   Nowadays we get information SO fast...we need to be careful. On my iPhone, I receive "Earthquake Alerts". The other day there was a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Tajikstan and I immediately started wondering if people were okay. I was quite worried. I went online and searched for information...but fortunately, I couldn't find any "bad news". I was relieved. But...I "wasted" 20 minutes of time...TOO MUCH INFORMATION. When I heard the "bad news", my automatic response was to "find more information". And...would that information help me really? Well, there is SO MUCH information available nowadays, we need to really be careful! Check out today's expression! More information!!   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog:  to eyeball something  How many boxes are you going to need? I have no idea. Just eyeball your stuff and guess. Um…twelve, maybe.   Are you good at guessing? If you look at someone, can you guess accurately how tall they are or how much they weigh? I'm NOT good at that. It's a skill. If I am lucky, in January, I will move. If I move, I will need to buy boxes for my clothes and books. HOW will I know how many boxes to buy? I will have to guess...I'm worried I will guess WRONG!! I will buy too few and then I will buy too many!!! Today's podcast will tell you the amazing VERB you need to know when you GUESS about the size or amount or number of something!!Have a great day!Coach Shane     Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog:  lemming, sheep, sheeple Dude, your phone is so old. It still works.        And when’s the last time you bought clothes? I don’t need any. Come on! Hey, I’m not a lemming! I do things my own way.   Are you a leader? Are you a follower?A combination is probably best. I don't consider myself a leader, but I guess that what a coach is--he leads his team. You are a part of my team. I want to lead YOU to victory! And when it comes to teaching, I'm not really a follower... I have my own style and I don't know of any other teachers who teach like me. I know that my Listening and Speaking classes are COMPLETELY unique...so, I hope, that's a good thing! I like NOT being a follower...but sometimes it makes me "lonely". Today's podcast is about NOT being a follower. You don't have to be a leader, but you don't have to be a follower, either!Have a SUPER day,Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!
