    #379 Stop Confusing “Used To” and “Would”

    03/06/2026 | 30 mins.
    Being able to talk about the past naturally in English is really important to sounding natural, and in this episode, we explore the use of "Used to" and "Would", which can both be used to talk about past habits that are no longer true.

    There is a small difference between them, and understanding this can make your English sound much more natural.

    I explain the difference, and give several examples from my own life to illustrate it. Of course, I invite you to do the same. In the shownotes comments below, leave your own answers.

    #378 Unpopular Opinions That Might Get Me Cancelled

    27/05/2026 | 41 mins.
    I go through a varied list of different opinions that I think the vast majority of people will disagree with - perhaps even think I'm insane for having them! For each opinion, I share some words and expressions, and I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Are there any that you actually agree with me on?

    #377 Things We WISH We Knew Earlier - Andrew from Culips

    20/05/2026 | 39 mins.
    Andrew from Culips English Podcast and Michael talk about things with wish we knew earlier in life and share some big regrets.

    A relaxed, honest conversation with personal stories and some moments of self-reflection that includes topics of finances, life choices, skills, language learning and health/exercise.

    It's also a great opportunity to practice some grammar structures such as "I wish I had", so be suer to answer these questions yourself too for practice.

    #375 Are Native Speakers Lying to You?

    06/05/2026 | 46 mins.
    In Episode 370, we covered a lot of common mistakes that native speakers make in their English, and today is the much requested part 2.

    We'll be looking at a few areas or regional dialects, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, that seem to be mistakes in native speaker speech. Some of these are known mistakes and done out of laziness, some of these might be considered a natural part of how language changes and evolves over time.

    But the real question is - are any of these okay for learners to make?

    We'll be covering all of this in today's episode.
