Today’s expression and dialog: to be on thin ice Where are you? I’m still at work. It’s 9pm! I came in late two days in a row. I’m on thin ice here~   Today's expression is great for both men and women...but my story is for the guys. Men, do you have a girlfriend or a wife? When's her birthday? When is "your anniversary"? What is her favorite color? What restaurant does she like? What is her favorite birthday meal? Does she like flowers? What kind?  Oh, there are many more questions I could ask...but those questions are "fundamental questions" that every man MUST know if he wants to maintain a "healthy relationship". If you do not know the answer to any of those questions...you are "in a VERY dangerous situation". Your lady might kill you...learn today's expression, learn the answer to those questions...and stay alive!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: Duh~   So, you have an online business?   Yes. I teach online.   Oh. So, you use a computer? Duh~~!!   I remember a long time ago when I met a guy from Denmark, I asked him, "What language do you speak in Denmark?" Oh...I was SUCH AN IDIOT!! He looked at me like I was an idiot! And he said, "Danish!" "Oh, of course." I replied...I was very embarrassed for asking such a silly question! Sometimes people ask REALLY obvious questions and sometimes people say REALLY silly/stupid things! In these situations, we have a GREAT English word to use--when we use that word we are saying "YOU are SO stupid" or "I am SO stupid!"  Listen to the podcast and master this important word!! Oh, and do NOT use this expression to your boss or your teacher!!   Have a great Sunday!   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to catch up   What else we need?   Ketchup. You go down that aisle. I’ll catch up with you in a minute.   But I don’t know what kind of ketchup to buy. Organic!! Duh~~   Well, as you know, I was sick for about two weeks. During that time, I missed many classes and was late with some videos. BUT...finally, I have done everything! My schedule is back to normal. I have "CAUGHT UP". Today we are going to learn the phrasal verb "to catch up". Of course, the past tense would be "caught up". It is VERY useful. We use this verb in SO many situations...but the nuance (meaning) is always the same. Please enjoy the podcast and start using this excellent phrasal verb in YOUR daily conversation!! Don't forget, you can ALWAYS tweet me your example sentences on TWITTER--@coachshane! Have a great Saturday!     Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Do you have any special plans? You know what I wish? I wish I lived near a town that had a professional baseball team. If I did, I would DEFINITELY go watch a live baseball game! Maybe next year I will have that chance!! I promise, if I go to a game, I will take you with me? How? On Twitter--they have LIVE VIDEO so we can watch the game together!! Wouldn't that be great? What about you? I know some of you would rather watch a movie than go to a game, right?

Today’s expression and dialog: to be tied up with something   You wanna go watch a movie?   I’d like to, but can’t.   Maybe tomorrow? I don’t think I’ll be able to. I’m really tied up with work these days.   Well, my HEALTH is now at 98%!! I'm almost fully recovered. I guess it is taking so long because I am old!!! ANYWAY~~ being sick for two weeks AND having your own business is NOT a good thing. I was not able to do ANYTHING for almost two weeks, so now I am SUPER busy trying to do all of my classes. When you are SUPER BUSY, we use a very nice expression that I will teach you in today's podcast! And, I want YOU to talk to me. I know that you are super busy, too. So, use today's expression and tell me What you are super busy with! Okay? I'd love to hear from you!   Have a great day...and remember, busy people become successful people if they don't complain!

Today’s expression and dialog: gibberish     So, how is Shane’s DDM class?   Well, the news stories are pretty easy, but that situation comedy~ Ugh! A bunch of gibberish!   Well, situation comedies give you real, daily English. Study hard. I know~ I won’t give up!   I remember when I first heard Korean. I was on a bus and the driver was talking to another driver. OH MY GOD. It was SUCH a foreign language! I couldn't understand ANYTHING!! I mean, if someone spoke German or French, I could occasionally understand 1 or 2 words, but not Korean. A complete mystery!! The same thing happened in college. I was taking a Calculus course. The professor, on the first day, spoke in a language that I recognized was similar to English, but what the hell he was saying...a complete mystery. I received my LOWEST grade in my life. Because of that course and that professor, I am DEATHLY afraid of MATH!     What word can we use in both situations? Find out TODAY!   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to leg it   How are you getting to the game?   I’ll leg it.   It’s 3 miles! So? The weather’s perfect for a nice walk.   I missed you all!!! I was very sick--I had a "kidney stone" and it was causing me GREAT pain...but I'm almost back to 100%! It was a terrible thing and I hope NONE of you EVER have to experience a kidney stone.   Today's expression is a fun one...it's an expression that shows you are TOUGH!! Are you tough? Prove it^^   Have a super week and I'll do my best to be "kidney-stone-free" for the rest of my life!!!     Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: a hodgepodge   Mm! Something smells good.   It’s just a hodgepodge of leftovers.   Is it ready? I’m starving. In about 30 minutes.   If you were to see my music collection...you would probably say "What in the world is this?!!"   You would find American rock and roll, country, punk, jazz, soul, rap. You'd find classical music. There would be lots of foreign music, too--Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Mexican (yes, it's different from Spanish music!), Ghanaian, Arabic, Indian. I've even got music from Australia and Ireland! And Indonesia. It's a VERY "messy mixture" of great music from everywhere. And I like it all! It's all MINE!!! But what is a good word that we could use that would describe my music collection? Well, you'll learn that in today's podcast!  Have a super week,   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: midnight snack   What are you doing?   Hiding the leftover steak.   Why? I want it for my midnight snack tonight. Don’t tell dad.  When you go to sleep do you wake up? Or are you a heavy sleeper. Me--I'm a heavy sleeper. NOTHING wakes me up. Storms, sirens, fights, screaming cats...nothing. But my dad--he's different.   A secret: my dad wakes up in the middle of the night because...he gets HUNGRY!!! He wakes up to eat!! Actually, a lot of people do this. Now my dad does not eat a meal...he only eats ice cream or cookies or cake! And we have a great expression for this STRANGE behavior--I'll teach you that in today's podcast!   Sleep well!

Today’s expression and dialog: leftovers   You want me to throw this out?   No. Put it in the fridge.   Who’s gonna eat leftovers? I will!   Do you like pizza? I do! But, when I make a pizza OR when I buy a pizza, I always make an extra one. Why? Because I'm a pig? Because I eat pizza like monkeys eat bananas? No!! Because I like to eat fresh pizza...but I REALLY like to eat day-old pizza. Even two-day-old pizza! And, not only pizza, other foods, too! I LOVE food that has been cooked, served and then put in the refrigerator and THEN served AGAIN!! What do you call that kind of food?

Today’s expression and dialog: great shot   Check out this picture.   Wow! Who took it?   I did. Really? Great shot!   A very common expression in sports--sports that involve GOALS or BASKETS or hitting a TARGET--is "Great shot!" It means that the player/athlete "kicked the ball" perfectly into the target. But...even NON-ATHLETES can use this expression...IF they have a camera!   Nowadays it seems that everyone has a camera on their cellphone, and they use it! And sometimes the pictures people take are UNBELIEVABLE! They're great. They're...great shots!! Please share you "great shots" with me and I will share them with our ENTIRE community!   Have a super week,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: to scoff at   What do you think of my new suit?   Tsk!   Don’t scoff at this! It cost $500! What? It looks like it’s from the dollar store!   Today we have a great expression that you can use if someone THINKS what you said was silly or stupid or ridiculous!    Believe it or not, sometimes I say stupid things! I know, you probably think I'm nearly perfect. That I have an IQ of around 150. That leaders around the world seek my advice on Policies for Peace. That I am the English coach for movie and rock stars ALL OVER THE WORLD. That Hollywood studios are constantly calling me begging me to act in their latest films.   Well, yes, those things MIGHT be true...but really, I'm just a regular guy. Just like you.

Today’s expression and dialog: I got a beef with you.   Hey! I’ve got a beef with you.   What? What did I do?   You used my cell phone without asking. Oh, hey, man! Sorry about that. It was an emergency~   Sometimes people do stupid things. And sometimes those stupid things make us really mad.   I was playing my favorite CD and my friend asked if he could borrow it. I told him that it was my favorite CD. He said, "Just for a few days. I'll return it next week."   I finally said okay. The next week came...nothing. Two weeks. Nothing. I called him. "Hey! Where's my CD?" "Oh, Shane! Sorry. I'll get it back to you. Don't worry! It's really great!" After two more weeks I finally went to HIS HOUSE!    I was really mad! If he liked the CD so much, he should have bought it! When you are REALLY mad at your friend for doing something stupid, use today's expression!   Have a NICE day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!

Today’s expression and dialog: do my darndest   How’d Timmy do yesterday?   He struck out the one time he was at bat.   Aw. That’s too bad. I know. He did his darndest, though!   If you REALLY want to do it, you can. If you REALLY want to be the best, you can! If you REALLY believe it, it'll come true!!!   Nope. Not true for most people. It's NOT!!!! Don't be mad at me~~ There is ALWAYS someone better. Always.    HOWEVER, we need to know, it is NOT winning, it's HOW YOU PLAY. It's not being first, it's doing your best. If you really do your best, if you consistently do your best, if you really want to do your best...then no one will be better than you. YOU did your best. You are not HIM or HER. You are YOU. Do your best, and you ARE the best.    Life is simple. Make life the best that you can make it. That's all.

Today’s expression and dialog: to give props to someone     I really love your newsletter.   It’s great, isn’t it?        Yes! It’s looks good. It’s easy to read! It’s perfect. I gotta give props to Parmy! He did it all!   Sometimes people say THANK YOU to us, but we do not deserve it. For example, I brought a cake over to the neighbor yesterday. The neighbor, an 80 year old grandmother, was SO happy. She said "thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"  And I said, "You're welcome!" And then I went home. An hour later my mother called me. She asked, "Did you give the cake to your neighbor?" Yes, mom. Did she like it. Yes, mom. Did you tell her I made it? No, mom! SHANE!!! You are SO bad!! You need to GIVE PROPER RESPECT to people who deserve it!!"   My mom is right. So, in today's expression, I'll teach you HOW to do that in English!   Have a super day,   Coach Shane   Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!
