This is Max and Mia Podcast.
2
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Max and Mia Podcast.
3
Good to have you here.
4
Yeah, thanks for tuning in.
5
Whether you're joining us for the first time or you've been listening for a while, we really appreciate you being here.
6
Absolutely.
7
So Mia, how's your week been?
8
January's already flying by.
9
I know, right?
10
It's kind of surreal.
11
I feel like I blinked and suddenly we're halfway through the month.
12
I've been trying to stick to some goals I set for myself, but honestly, it's been a bit of a struggle.
13
What about you?
14
Yeah, same here.
15
I started the year with all this motivation, you know, the typical new year, new me energy.
16
But reality hits fast.
17
I've been focusing on being more consistent with things rather than going all out and burning out by February.
18
That's smart.
19
I think that's where most people go wrong.
20
They try to change everything at once.
21
Exactly.
22
But anyway, speaking of improvement and consistency, today's episode is actually about something we've been wanting to cover for a while.
23
Right.
24
So, if you've been learning English for some time, you've probably reached a point where you can communicate pretty well.
25
You can have conversations, people understand you, you get your point across.
26
That's fantastic.
27
But there's this gap, right?
28
Between being understood and actually sounding natural, or even professional depending on the context.
29
And that's what we want to talk about today.
30
We're calling it leveling up.
31
It's that shift from functional English to really polished English.
32
From getting your message across to doing it with confidence and fluency.
33
And the thing is, a lot of learners get stuck in that middle zone.
34
They can handle most situations, but they feel like something's missing.
35
They don't quite sound like a native speaker, or they struggle in more formal settings.
36
So today, we're going to break down what that difference actually looks like
37
and give you some practical ways to bridge that gap.
38
Alright, so let's jump into our first scenario.
39
This one's about something we all do constantly, speculating.
40
You know, when you see something unusual and you start making guesses about what's going on.
41
Oh yeah, and this happens all the time in everyday conversations.
42
You're chatting with a friend, something catches your attention, and suddenly you're playing detective.
43
Exactly.
44
So for this audio, imagine two neighbors.
45
Let's call them Katie and Joshua.
46
They're outside, maybe taking out the trash or whatever, and they notice lights on in a house that's supposed to be empty.
47
The owners are away on vacation.
48
Classic mysterious situation.
49
And what you'll hear is how differently they express their theories about what's happening.
50
Right.
51
Katie's going to be more hesitant, using words like maybe and I think,
52
while Joshua sounds way more confident with his deductions.
53
Let's listen.
54
Wait, do you see that?
55
What?
56
Oh, the Johnson's place?
57
Yeah, there's a light on upstairs.
58
That's weird, right?
59
I mean, maybe they came back early from their trip?
60
Hmm, I don't think so.
61
They must be gone for at least another week.
62
I saw Jane at the store last Monday and she was going on and on about their beach resort.
63
Oh, well, maybe they have one of those timer things, you know, for security. Could be.
64
But look, the light just moved.
65
Timers don't do that.
66
Wait, seriously?
67
Okay, that's… that's kinda creepy.
68
Maybe we should call someone?
69
Hold on, let me think.
70
It can't be a burglar.
71
Their car's in the driveway.
72
Oh, I didn't notice that.
73
So maybe their son is house -sitting?
74
Do they have a son?
75
They do, yeah.
76
He must be staying there while they're gone.
77
That would make sense.
78
Are you sure, though?
79
Maybe it's a friend, or...
80
No, no, it's gotta be him.
81
Look, there's someone in the window now.
82
Young guy, probably mid -twenties.
83
That must be Kevin, their son.
84
I mean, maybe.
85
I've never actually met him.
86
Trust me, it can't be anyone else.
87
Who else would have a key and be that comfortable walking around?
88
Plus they wouldn't leave the house completely empty for two weeks.
89
Yeah, I guess you're right.
90
I was getting a bit paranoid there for a second.
91
I could tell.
92
You were ready to call the cops.
93
Well, you never know.
94
Better safe than sorry, right?
95
Fair enough.
96
But yeah, it must be their son.
97
Mystery solved.
98
Okay, okay.
99
I'll sleep better tonight knowing it's not some serial killer next door.
100
Oh, come on.
101
It's a nice neighborhood.
102
Nothing exciting ever happens here.
103
Exactly why one light freaked me out so much.
104
Okay, so what did you notice there?
105
Well, Katie was super uncertain the whole time.
106
Every single guess she made started with maybe or I think.
107
She's constantly second -guessing herself.
108
Right.
109
And there's nothing wrong with that if you're genuinely unsure.
110
Sure.
111
But the problem is, she sounds insecure even when she's making pretty logical observations.
112
Exactly.
113
Now Joshua, on the other hand, uses these really confident structures.
114
It must be their son.
115
It can't be a burglar.
116
He's making deductions based on evidence.
117
And that's the key difference.
118
Both of them are speculating.
119
They don't actually know what's happening, but Joshua sounds so much more natural and confident because he's using modals of deduction.
120
These are words like must, can't, might, could.
121
They show different levels of certainty based on logic rather than just throwing out random guesses.
122
When Joshua says, It can't be a burglar because the car's there.
123
He's using evidence to rule something out.
124
When he says, It must be their son, he's reached a logical conclusion.
125
And this is something native speakers do automatically.
126
We don't just say maybe, maybe, maybe for everything.
127
We assess the situation and express how certain we are.
128
Katie sounds like she's translating from another language in her head.
129
She knows the words, she can communicate the idea, but it doesn't flow naturally.
130
Right.
131
And for anyone listening, at a B1 level who relates to Katie, this is your sign to level up.
132
Start paying attention to how people express probability and certainty in English.
133
It's not about being right or wrong.
134
Joshua could be completely wrong about the son.
135
But he sounds native because he's using the language patterns that native speakers use.
136
Exactly.
137
So if you catch yourself overusing maybe and I think, try switching to must be,
138
can't be, might be, depending on how sure you are.
139
And we'll break down the grammar behind these modals in a bit.
140
But for now, just notice the difference in how confident and natural Joshua sounds compared to Katie.
141
Alright, moving on to our second scenario.
142
This one's about change and adaptation.
143
Yeah, and we're not just talking about moving to a new country, though that's definitely part of it.
144
This applies to any big shift in your routine – new job, new city, or even just trying to build better habits.
145
Exactly.
146
Because the reality is, when you make a big change, the day -to -day stuff hits you hard.
147
It's not just the big cultural differences.
148
It's waking up earlier, dealing with new schedules, adjusting to how people around you do things.
149
Right.
150
And what's interesting is how we talk about that adjustment process.
151
There's a huge difference between just describing your struggle and actually expressing that you're in the process of adapting.
152
So for this audio, picture two friends meeting up early in the morning.
153
One of them, let's call him Jake,
154
is trying to join the 5am club or start an intense gym routine and he's absolutely suffering.
155
And his friend Chris has been doing this for months, so he's got the whole thing figured out.
156
Let's hear how they talk about it.
157
Ah, morning.
158
Hey, you made it.
159
How you feeling?
160
Honestly, terrible.
161
This routine is impossible.
162
I don't understand how people do this.
163
Yeah, I remember that feeling.
164
But trust me, you'll get used to waking up early.
165
It just takes time.
166
I don't know, man.
167
It is so difficult to wake up when it's still dark outside.
168
And it's freezing.
169
My alarm went off and I just, I wanted to throw my phone across the room.
170
Oh, I've been there.
171
But here's the thing.
172
At first, I hated it too.
173
Now, I'm completely used to running before work.
174
I actually feel weird if I don't do it.
175
Seriously?
176
Because right now I am tired all day.
177
I drink coffee, but it doesn't help.
178
Nothing helps.
179
Yeah, that's normal.
180
Your body isn't used to the new schedule yet.
181
Give it a couple of weeks and you'll notice a difference.
182
A couple of weeks?
183
I can barely handle one more day.
184
Look, let me tell you what worked for me.
185
First, stop looking at your phone right when you wake up.
186
That's killing your energy before you even get out of bed.
187
But I need to turn off the alarm.
188
Sure, but then put it down.
189
Don't scroll through Instagram or check emails.
190
That's the trap.
191
Okay, what else?
192
Leave your workout clothes ready the night before, like right next to your bed.
193
When you wake up, you don't have to think.
194
Just put them on.
195
That actually sounds helpful.
196
It is.
197
And here's the big one.
198
Consistency.
199
You need to get used to doing this every single day, even weekends, for at least three weeks.
200
Every day?
201
Even Saturdays?
202
Especially Saturdays.
203
That's when most people break the habit.
204
But if you push through, your body will adapt.
205
You'll get used to the routine and it won't feel like torture anymore.
206
I hope you're right because this morning was brutal.
207
The cold, the darkness, everything is against me.
208
I know it feels that way now, but you're not used to being active in the morning yet.
209
Most people are used to sleeping in, so this is a shock to your system.
210
How long did it take you to feel normal, I mean?
211
Honestly, about three weeks.
212
They say it takes 21 days to get used to something new, and I think that's pretty accurate.
213
And now you actually enjoy it?
214
I wouldn't say I love waking up at 5 a .m every day, but I'm definitely used to it.
215
And the energy I have during the day makes it worth it.
216
I used to crash around 3 p .m., but now I'm good until evening.
217
That sounds amazing.
218
Right now, I crash at 10 a .m.
219
Yeah, but that's because you're fighting your natural rhythm.
220
Once you get used to going a bit earlier and waking up earlier, your energy levels will shift.
221
I guess I just need to stick with it.
222
Exactly.
223
Don't give up after one rough week.
224
You'll get used to it, I promise.
225
Okay, so Jake is really struggling here, right?
226
And the way he describes it is very...static.
227
Yes, it is difficult.
228
I am tired.
229
This is impossible.
230
These are statements about his current state, but they don't capture the idea that things might change.
231
Exactly.
232
And that's fine for basic communication.
233
People understand what he means.
234
But Chris, on the other hand, talks about adaptation as a process.
235
Exactly.
236
And you can hear it clearly in the language he uses.
237
He says things like, you'll get used to waking up early.
238
I'm used to running before work, and you need to get used to doing this every day.
239
All of these expressions focus on change over time, not just on how things feel right now.
240
Right.
241
And this is huge because native speakers think about change as a journey.
242
It's not just this is hard.
243
It's, this is hard now, but I'm adapting.
244
Or, this was hard, but I've adapted.
245
The phrase, get used to, implies evolution.
246
It shows you understand that discomfort is temporary and you're moving toward a new normal.
247
And this is something that really separates B1 from B2 speakers.
248
B1 speakers describe their current feelings.
249
B2 speakers express the process of change.
250
Now, there's also a really common grammar mistake here that we need to address.
251
Oh yeah, the ing form.
252
Exactly.
253
A lot of learners say, I need to get used to wake up early, or I'm getting used to go to the gym.
254
And that's wrong.
255
After used to in this context, you need a verb with ing or a noun.
256
So it's get used to waking up or get used to the cold.
257
Not get used to wake up.
258
That's a critical error that immediately signals you're not at a higher level yet.
259
Right.
260
So if you catch yourself making that mistake, that's your sign to drill this structure until it becomes automatic.
261
Because once you master get used to and be used to, you can talk about adaptation in a way that sounds natural and sophisticated.
262
Alright, before we move on, if you're learning something new from this episode,
263
we'd really appreciate it if you subscribed or shared this with someone who's working on their English.
264
Yeah, and if you have any questions about what we've covered so far, feel free to drop a comment or reach out.
265
We actually read those.
266
We do.
267
Okay, let's keep going.
268
This next one is honestly one of my favorite mix -ups that learners make.
269
Oh yeah, this creates some hilarious mental images.
270
Right?
271
So the thing is, English is really literal when it comes to action verbs.
272
If you use the verb, people assume you're the one doing the action.
273
And if you're not the one doing it, like, if you paid someone, you need to use a different structure.
274
Otherwise, you end up telling people you're basically a superhero.
275
Exactly.
276
I've had students tell me things like, I built my house last year, and I'm thinking, wow, you're a carpenter?
277
An architect?
278
That's impressive.
279
And then they clarify, no, no, I hired a company's and I'm like, oh, so you didn't build it.
280
You had it built.
281
That tiny difference completely changes the meaning.
282
So let's listen to Alex and Sam talking about some recent changes and you'll hear this come up.
283
Hey, Sam.
284
Long time no see.
285
Alex, wow, you look different.
286
Did you do something?
287
Yeah, I cut my hair yesterday.
288
Do you like it?
289
Wait, you cut it yourself?
290
Seriously?
291
Uh, yeah?
292
Why do you sound so surprised?
293
I mean, that's pretty brave.
294
Did you just use a mirror and some scissors?
295
Because it actually looks really good.
296
What?
297
No, no, I didn't.
298
I mean, I went to the salon downtown.
299
You know, the one near the coffee shop we like.
300
Oh, okay.
301
So you didn't cut your hair.
302
You had your hair cut.
303
Is there a difference?
304
I mean, my hair got cut either way.
305
Well, yeah, but the way you said it made me picture you standing in your bathroom with scissors just going for it.
306
Oh my god, no. I would never.
307
I can barely cut a straight line on paper.
308
Ah, okay, that makes way more sense.
309
But yeah, when you say, I cut my hair, it literally means you did it yourself.
310
Huh.
311
I never thought about it like that.
312
So I should say, I had my hair cut?
313
Exactly.
314
Or you could say I got my haircut.
315
That works too.
316
Interesting.
317
Okay, what about my car?
318
I fixed my car last week.
319
Is that wrong too?
320
Did you actually fix it?
321
Like, were you under the hood with tools?
322
No way.
323
I took it to the mechanic.
324
It was making this weird noise and I had no idea what was wrong.
325
Then you had your car fixed.
326
Or you got your car fixed.
327
Man, I've been saying this wrong forever.
328
This is embarrassing.
329
Don't worry about it.
330
It's super common.
331
Even people who speak pretty good English mess this up.
332
So basically, if I pay someone to do something, I use have or get instead of just saying I did it?
333
Pretty much, yeah.
334
If you do it yourself, you use the regular verb.
335
If someone else does it for you, you use the causative structure.
336
The what now?
337
Causative.
338
It's just the grammar term.
339
You don't need to remember that.
340
Just remember the pattern.
341
Have something done or get something done.
342
Okay, let me try.
343
I'm going to have my apartment painted next month.
344
Perfect.
345
See?
346
You got it.
347
Wait, but I could also say I'm going to get my apartment painted, right?
348
Yep.
349
Both work.
350
Have is a bit more formal.
351
Get is more casual.
352
But they mean the same thing in this context.
353
This is actually really useful.
354
I bet I've confused so many people.
355
Probably.
356
I mean, if you told someone I built my house, they'd think you're some kind of construction expert.
357
Yeah, I definitely said that before.
358
No wonder people looked at me weird.
359
It happens.
360
But now you know, so you won't make that mistake again.
361
True.
362
Oh, and just so you know, I'm getting my teeth cleaned tomorrow, not cleaning them myself.
363
Look at you, using it correctly already.
364
I'm a fast learner.
365
But seriously, thanks for explaining that.
366
It makes so much sense now.
367
No problem.
368
English is weird like that super literal sometimes.
369
Alright, so this is what I call the DIY error.
370
And it's everywhere.
371
Yeah, and it's not just about haircuts.
372
This applies to so many everyday situations.
373
Getting your nails done, having your house cleaned, getting your phone repaired.
374
Right.
375
If you say, I cleaned my house, I assume you grabbed a mop and did it yourself.
376
If you hired a cleaning service, you need to say, I had my house cleaned.
377
And the rule is actually pretty simple.
378
When you pay for a service or someone else does the action for you, you use the causative structure,
379
have or get, plus the object plus the past participle.
380
So it's, I had my car fixed.
381
I got my nails done.
382
I'm having my laptop repaired.
383
Exactly.
384
And if you do it yourself, then yeah, use the regular verb.
385
I fixed my car means you're a mechanic or at least pretty handy.
386
This is one of those things that really separates intermediate learners from advanced speakers.
387
Because at B1, you can communicate the basic idea.
388
People will eventually understand what you mean.
389
But at B2, you're precise.
390
You're not leaving room for confusion or weird mental images.
391
And honestly, once you start noticing this in native speech, you'll hear it everywhere.
392
We use causative structures constantly.
393
Right.
394
So, if you've been making this mistake, don't feel bad.
395
It's super common.
396
Just start paying attention and correcting yourself.
397
And practice it with everyday situations.
398
Next time you go to the dentist, don't say, I cleaned my teeth.
399
Say, I had my teeth cleaned.
400
Or when you get a new phone case, don't say, I changed my phone case.
401
Say, I got my phone case changed if someone at the store did it for you.
402
It's all about being accurate with who's doing the action.
403
Okay, so let's do a recap of what we covered today.
404
We started with deduction.
405
The difference between sounding uncertain with maybe versus confident with modals like must be and can't be.
406
Then we talked about adaptation and change,
407
specifically how get used to and be used to express the process of adjusting to something new.
408
And we just finished with the causative structure, making it clear whether you did something yourself or paid someone to do it for you.
409
Three really practical grammar points that can genuinely level up your English, if you start using them correctly.
410
So that's it for today's episode.
411
We hope you got something useful out of this.
412
Yeah, and if you did, please consider subscribing or leaving us a review.
413
It really helps us reach more learners like you.
414
And remember, leveling up isn't about learning tons of new vocabulary.
415
It's about refining how you use what you already know.
416
Exactly.
417
Small changes, big impact.
418
Right.
419
Thanks for listening, everyone.
420
We'll catch you in the next episode.
421
Take care.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
