Wait, wait, wait.

Say that again.

I said there's nothing on my walls.

Nothing?

Mike, you moved in three years ago.

I know.

I have pictures.

They're in a box under the bed.

Under the bed?

So you basically live in a hotel.

It's not a hotel.

Hotels have art.

Okay, hold on.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Everyday English Academy, where we make English simple and enjoyable.

I'm Sarah.

And I'm Mike, the man with the empty walls.

Hi everyone, wherever you're listening from right now.

So why is that box still under your bed?

I don't know.

I think I always feel like I'm moving soon, so why bother, right?

Ah, so you never really settled in.

Hmm.

Settled in.

For our listeners, that means you start to feel relaxed and comfortable in a new place, right?

Exactly.

You unpack your things, you find your favorite coffee shop, you learn which neighbor is loud.

Oh, I know which neighbor is loud.

The guy upstairs plays the drums at 10 p .m.

Every night?

Only on Tuesdays, which is somehow worse.

And you can use settle in for other new things, too.

A new job, a new school.

I'm still settling in at work.

Or it took my son a few weeks to settle in at his new school.

Wait, you don't have a son.

It's an example, Sarah.

Okay, okay.

But honestly, I'd say you're about 40 % settled in.

Forty?

That's harsh.

You have a box under your bed, Mike.

Okay, fair.

But it makes me think, what actually makes a place feel like home?

Because it's not the walls, right?

Well, walls help.

Okay, walls help a little.

But I can't judge you too much.

When I moved into my first apartment, I lived out of boxes for four months.

Four months?

And you're laughing at my one box?

Hey, I said I can't judge you too much.

Okay, for everyone listening, live out of boxes means you move to a new place, but you don't unpack.

So every day you open a box to find your clothes, your shoes, your toothbrush.

Yes, and unpack means you take everything out of the boxes and put it where it belongs, which I did not do.

What was that like?

Every morning was a little treasure hunt.

Where's my hairbrush?

Box number six.

Where's my phone charger?

Nobody knows.

Did you at least label the boxes?

You know, write on each box what's inside?

I did, but I labeled them at two in the morning, so the box that said kitchen had my winter boots.

Winter boots in the kitchen box.

And I couldn't find my plates anywhere, so for two weeks I ate cereal out of a coffee mug.

Okay.

Honestly, that's a little bit smart.

Thank you.

Survival skills.

So when did it change?

When did it start to feel like your place?

Hmm.

I remember the exact day.

It was a rainy Sunday.

I was bored.

So I finally opened every single box.

Books on the shelf, plates in the kitchen.

Where plates should be.

What a crazy idea.

And then I sat on the sofa, I looked around, and I just felt at ease. At ease.

Oh, I like that one.

At ease means you feel relaxed and calm.

No stress, no worry.

Your shoulders just drop.

Like, ha.

Ha.

I can feel my shoulders dropping just listening to you.

And you can use it with people, too.

Like, my new boss is really friendly.

I feel at ease with her.

Or the opposite.

I never feel at ease at the dentist.

Nobody feels at ease at the dentist, Mike.

True.

But okay, I want to defend myself a little bit here.

Go ahead.

Defend your empty walls.

My apartment does feel like home, even without pictures.

Because I know it so well.

100

What do you mean?

101

Okay, so in my kitchen, there's this one spot on the floor, right in front of the fridge.

102

And when you step on it, it goes eek.

103

Oh, a creaky floor.

104

Yes, creaky.

105

That means something makes a long, high noise when you step on it or move it, like an old door or old wooden stairs.

106

Old houses are full of creaky things.

107

Creaky doors, creaky beds.

108

Exactly.

109

And I know exactly where that spot is.

110

At night, when I get a glass of water in the dark, I step over it like a ninja.

111

A ninja in pajamas.

112

A very quiet ninja in pajamas.

113

And I don't even think about it.

114

My feet just know.

115

Okay, I actually love that, because a visitor would never know that.

116

Right.

117

When my brother stayed with me, he went to the kitchen at midnight, stepped right on it, and the next morning he said,

118

your apartment is haunted.

119

Haunted?

120

Like with ghosts? With ghosts.

121

I said, no, it's just the floor.

122

Relax.

123

See, that's interesting.

124

The creaky floor is annoying, but it's your annoying floor.

125

Yes, it's familiar.

126

Familiar.

127

Good word.

128

Something is familiar when you know it really well because you've seen it or heard it many, many times.

129

Like my creaky floor.

130

I've heard it about 10 ,000 times.

131

Or a familiar face in a crowd.

132

Or a familiar song on the radio.

133

Or a familiar sound.

134

Like my fridge.

135

It makes this soft humming noise.

136

All day long.

137

Humming.

138

So a low, soft sound that doesn't stop.

139

Right.

140

And last month, I stayed in a hotel.

141

And the room was too quiet.

142

No humming.

143

I couldn't sleep.

144

Ah, you missed your fridge?

145

I missed my fridge.

146

I'm not proud of it.

147

Okay, but I get it.

148

For me, it's not sounds, though.

149

It's smells.

150

Ooh, like what?

151

My grandma's house.

152

Every time I walked in, there was this scent of oranges and old books.

153

Oranges and old books?

154

That's a strange mix.

155

It's a wonderful mix.

156

She always had a bowl of oranges on the table, and she had about a thousand books.

157

And scent is a lovely word.

158

It's basically a smell, but usually a nice one, right?

159

Right.

160

You wouldn't say the scent of old socks.

161

No, that's just a smell.

162

A bad smell.

163

Exactly.

164

But the scent of fresh bread, the scent of flowers, a candle with a lovely scent.

165

All nice things.

166

And a scent can take you back in time, right?

167

You're walking down the street, you smell something, and suddenly you're eight years old again.

168

Yes.

169

Last week, I walked past a fruit shop, smelled oranges, and I almost called my grandma.

170

Oh, that's sweet.

171

And now I'm curious.

172

Everyone listening, what does home smell like for you?

173

Your mom's cooking?

174

Coffee?

175

The sea?

176

Tell us in the comments.

177

Just one sentence.

178

Like, my home smells like… and finish it.

179

I'll go first.

180

My home smells like coffee and slightly burnt toast.

181

Every morning?

182

Every morning.

183

My toaster and I have a difficult relationship.

184

But seriously, smells are powerful, especially when you're far from home.

185

Oh, don't remind me.

186

Why?

187

What happened?

188

Okay, this is a bit embarrassing.

189

When I was 22, I moved to another city for work for a whole year.

190

New job, new apartment, and I didn't know anyone.

191

That sounds hard.

192

It was.

193

The first few weeks, everything felt strange.

194

And one night, I was doing my laundry, you know, washing my clothes, and I thought, why do my towels smell wrong?

195

Wrong?

196

They didn't smell like home.

197

So I called my mom and asked, Mom, what soap do you use in the washing machine?

198

No way!

199

Yes.

200

And the next day, I went to the supermarket and bought the exact same one.

201

Mike, that's so cute.

202

It's not cute.

203

It's embarrassing.

204

It's both.

205

Did it work?

206

Honestly, yes.

207

The first night, I put my face in the towel and I thought, But, okay, I can do this.

208

Aww, the power of scent.

209

But the soap wasn't enough.

210

What really helped was a little restaurant near my office.

211

Ooh, what kind of place?

212

A tiny family place, six tables.

213

And after a few weeks, the owner knew my name.

214

She knew my order.

215

If I didn't come for a few days, she said, where were you?

216

Are you okay?

217

Oh, I love that.

218

So that restaurant was your home away from home.

219

Yes, that's the perfect phrase.

220

For everyone listening, a home away from home is a place that isn't your home,

221

but you feel just as comfortable there as you do at home.

222

And it doesn't have to be a restaurant.

223

No, it can be a cafe, a friend's house, a library, even a gym.

224

A gym?

225

Who feels at home at the gym?

226

Some people live at the gym, Mike.

227

Not me.

228

But yes, people also say it about hotels.

229

This hotel is my home away from home.

230

So what made that restaurant so special?

231

The food?

232

The food was good, but mostly it was her.

233

She was so kind.

234

She always gave me extra bread.

235

She asked about my family.

236

It felt like she was taking care of me.

237

That's hospitality.

238

Hospitality, yes.

239

Great word.

240

It's a long word, but the meaning is simple.

241

Hospitality is when you're friendly and generous to guests.

242

You make them feel welcome.

243

And generous means you give a lot.

244

Your food, your time, your attention.

245

Right.

246

And here's a really useful sentence.

247

When you leave someone's home, maybe you stayed with a family or you had dinner at their house, You can say, thank you so much for your hospitality.

248

Oh, that's a good one.

249

It sounds polite, but also warm.

250

Everyone will love you.

251

But honestly, the best hospitality I've ever seen was not at that restaurant.

252

Let me guess.

253

Your grandma.

254

My grandma.

255

You've met her.

256

I have.

257

I visited her one time for one hour, and I ate three meals. That sounds right.

258

I kept saying, no, thank you, I'm full.

259

And she heard, please give me more potatoes.

260

She doesn't understand the word full.

261

It's not in her dictionary.

262

In her house, nobody leaves hungry.

263

That's the rule.

264

And honestly, I think that's part of what makes a place feel like home too.

265

Not just the building, the people and the traditions inside it.

266

Definitely.

267

And a lot of traditions come from the past, from our family.

268

Like your grandma's potatoes.

269

The famous potatoes.

270

That recipe's maybe a hundred years old.

271

It came from her mother and her mother before that.

272

Wow.

273

So that recipe is part of your family's heritage.

274

Heritage.

275

Okay, that one sounds a bit serious.

276

Can you explain it simply?

277

Sure.

278

Your heritage is everything that comes from your family's past.

279

The traditions, the food, the language, the music.

280

Things that are old and really important to a family or a country.

281

So like the songs your grandparents sang or the holidays your family celebrates.

282

Exactly.

283

You might hear, I'm proud of my heritage.

284

Or food is a big part of our heritage.

285

And that recipe was passed down, right?

286

Yes.

287

To pass down something means you give it to the younger people in your family.

288

Grandparents to parents, parents to children.

289

So my great -grandmother passed down the potato recipe to my grandma.

290

And one day, my grandma will pass it down to me.

291

Will she, though?

292

She says I'm not ready.

293

Not ready for the potatoes.

294

Apparently, there are levels.

295

I'm still in training.

296

But it's not just recipes.

297

You can pass down things, too.

298

Jewelry, a watch, furniture.

299

Oh, I actually have something like that.

300

My grandpa's old armchair.

301

Wait, you have your grandpa's armchair?

302

Okay, I take back the hotel comment.

303

Thank you.

304

But I have to be honest, it's a very ugly armchair.

305

How ugly are we talking?

306

It's brown and orange with little flowers on it.

307

And it's a bit creaky.

308

When you sit down, it goes Kirk.

309

Another creaky thing.

310

Your whole apartment is creaky, Mike.

311

I know, but I love that chair.

312

My grandpa read the newspaper in it every single morning for 40 years.

313

Oh, okay.

314

Now it's not ugly anymore.

315

Now it's beautiful.

316

It's still ugly, but it's my ugly chair.

317

When I sit in it, I feel close to him.

318

That's really lovely.

319

And actually, I have something too.

320

My mom passed down this little wooden spoon to me.

321

A spoon?

322

Don't laugh.

323

It's a very special spoon.

324

It's old, it's a little burnt on one side, and my mom used it for every birthday cake when I was a kid.

325

So every time you use it...

326

I think of birthday cake, and my mom singing happy birthday very, very badly.

327

That's the best kind of heritage.

328

Cake and bad singing.

329

And I'd really love to hear from you here, everyone.

330

Do you have something that was passed down in your family?

331

A recipe?

332

A ring?

333

A chair?

334

A spoon?

335

Even an ugly one.

336

Ugly ones are very welcome.

337

Tell us in the comments.

338

You can write, My grandmother passed down her.. and tell us what it is.

339

Please, I need to know I'm not the only person with an ugly armchair.

340

Okay, so you have a creaky floor, a humming fridge, and ugly armchair full of memories.

341

Mike, your apartment is starting to sound like a real home.

342

Finally.

343

Thank you.

344

Except for the box under the bed.

345

Except for the box, yes.

346

Wait a second.

347

Mike, did you ever have a housewarming party?

348

Um...

349

You didn't.

350

I was going to.

351

I was just waiting for the right time.

352

For three years?

353

The right time is still coming.

354

Okay.

355

For everyone listening, a housewarming, or just a housewarming, is a party you have when you move into a new home.

356

You invite friends and family to come and see your new place.

357

And guests usually bring a small gift, like a plant or something nice for the kitchen.

358

The idea is that you warm the house with people.

359

It's a new, empty place, and your friends fill it with life.

360

Huh.

361

I never thought about it like that.

362

That's actually really nice.

363

It is.

364

And I had the funniest housewarming ever.

365

Was this the four months of boxes apartment?

366

Yes.

367

My friends kept saying, Sarah, where's the party?

368

And I said, I'm not ready.

369

I still have boxes everywhere.

370

And they said, we don't care.

371

And they just came.

372

They invited themselves to your housewarming?

373

They invited themselves.

374

Eight people.

375

I had two chairs.

376

Oh, no. Where did everyone sit?

377

On the boxes.

378

We used boxes as chairs and tables.

379

We ate pizza on the box that said kitchen.

380

With your winter boots inside.

381

With my winter boots inside.

382

But honestly, it was one of my favorite nights ever.

383

After that, the apartment felt different.

384

It had memories now.

385

i love that and it sounds like it wasn't a big fancy party more like a small get -together

386

exactly a get -together another great word a get -together is a small relaxed meeting with friends

387

or family not a big party with loud music

388

and dancing just people food

389

and talking like we're having a little get -together on saturday do you want to come

390

or it's not a party it's just to get together people say

391

that when they don't want you to expect too much right it means please don't dress up

392

and don't expect a dj noted

393

so you know what this means right oh no you're having a housewarming next month i'm inviting myself okay okay

394

but if people come they'll see my kitchen What's wrong with your kitchen?

395

The layout.

396

The layout is crazy.

397

Okay, explain.

398

And explain layout for our listeners, too.

399

Sure.

400

The layout is how a place is organized.

401

Where the rooms are, where the furniture is, where the doors and windows are.

402

When you look at an apartment online, you often see a little drawing from above.

403

That drawing shows you the layout.

404

Exactly.

405

So you can say, I love the layout of this apartment.

406

It's so open.

407

Or the layout is strange.

408

You walk through the bedroom to get to the kitchen.

409

So what's wrong with your layout?

410

My fridge is in a corner, and the fridge door opens into the wall.

411

Into the wall?

412

It only opens halfway.

413

So every time I want milk, I have to push my arm in like this and twist.

414

Every time?

415

Every time.

416

For three years.

417

My left arm is very strong now.

418

Mike, why don't you just move the fridge? Where?

419

The oven is on one side, the washing machine is on the other side.

420

All my appliances are fighting for space.

421

Appliances.

422

Okay, that's a really practical word.

423

Appliances are the machines in your home that do jabs for you.

424

The fridge, the oven, the washing machine, the dishwasher.

425

The microwave, the toaster, my enemy.

426

Your burnt toast friend.

427

And you'll often hear kitchen appliances or home appliances, like the apartment comes with all the appliances.

428

That means the fridge, the oven, everything is already there.

429

You don't need to buy them.

430

That's so important to ask when you rent a place.

431

It can save you a lot of money.

432

Very true.

433

And your landlord never wanted to fix the kitchen?

434

The landlord is the person who owns your apartment, the person you pay rent to.

435

Actually, she did.

436

Last year, she said, Mike, I want to renovate the kitchen.

437

Renovate.

438

So, repair it and make it new and better.

439

Right.

440

When you renovate a room or a building, you make big changes to improve it.

441

New floor, new walls, new lights.

442

Sometimes even a new layout.

443

That's great news.

444

So why is your arm still doing the twist?

445

Because I said no. You said no?

446

She said it would take six weeks.

447

Six weeks with no kitchen.

448

Workers in my apartment every day.

449

Noise from morning to evening.

450

Okay, that is a lot.

451

And they'd probably take out the old floor.

452

Wait, the creaky floor?

453

The creaky floor.

454

Mike, you said no to a new kitchen because you'd miss your creaky floor?

455

It's not the only reason, but it's one of the reasons.

456

You're very loyal to your floor.

457

But actually, I kind of understand.

458

When I was 16, my parents renovated our whole house.

459

The whole house?

460

The whole house.

461

They changed the layout completely.

462

The kitchen went where the living room was.

463

The living room went upstairs.

464

Very modern, very bright, very beautiful.

465

That sounds great.

466

It was great.

467

But the first night, I went downstairs to get some water, and I walked straight into a wall.

468

Oh, no. Because in my head, the kitchen was still there.

469

My body remembered the old layout.

470

That's like my creaky floor, but the opposite.

471

Your feet knew the old house.

472

Exactly.

473

It took me months to feel at ease again.

474

Same address, same family, but it didn't feel familiar anymore.

475

Huh.

476

So a new layout can make your own home feel like someone else's house.

477

For Lyle, yes.

478

But then we made new memories there, and slowly, it became home again.

479

Okay.

480

That makes me feel much better about saying no to my landlord.

481

Don't use my story as an excuse.

482

Too late.

483

But, you know, this brings me back to my box under the bed.

484

Ah, the box.

485

I think the real reason I never opened it is… I always tell myself, this apartment is just for now.

486

Hmm.

487

So you don't want to put down roots.

488

Put down roots, yeah.

489

That's it exactly.

490

Think about a tree, everyone.

491

A tree has roots under the ground.

492

The roots keep it in one place so it can grow big and strong.

493

So when a person puts down roots, they decide to stay in one place for a long time.

494

They build a life there.

495

Friends, a job, a home.

496

Like, after moving five times, they finally put down roots in a small town.

497

Or, I'm not ready to put down routes yet.

498

I want to travel first.

499

And that's totally fine, too.

500

Some people love moving around.

501

True. But me?

502

I've been moving soon for three years.

503

I think my apartment knows I'm not going anywhere.

504

The creaky floor definitely knows.

505

And maybe it's not about staying forever.

506

Maybe it's just about deciding.

507

Right now, this is my place, even if I move one day.

508

I really like that.

509

You don't need a forever home to feel at home.

510

So, okay, I'm doing it.

511

This weekend, I'm opening the box.

512

Really?

513

Really.

514

And I'm hanging one picture.

515

Just one.

516

Let's not go crazy.

517

One picture!

518

Mike, I'm so proud of you.

519

Please don't make it a big thing.

520

It's a very big thing, and I think it deserves a little practice moment.

521

Everyone, listen to each sentence and say it out loud after us.

522

I'm still settling in here.

523

This feels like a home away from home.

524

We're having a housewarming on Saturday.

525

I love the layout of this place.

526

I finally feel at ease here.

527

Nice work.

528

Try them again while you're cooking or cleaning today.

529

Your kitchen won't mind.

530

Unless it has a creaky floor then it might answer you.

531

Eek.

532

Okay, Mike, tell me the full plan, out loud, so everyone hears it and you can't change your mind.

533

Fine.

534

The plan.

535

This weekend, I open the box.

536

No more living out of boxes.

537

Well, out of one box.

538

Good start.

539

I hang one picture, maybe two, and then I'm officially settled in.

540

After only three years.

541

After only three years.

542

Then next month I have a small get together, a housewarming.

543

And you're invited, obviously.

544

You already invited yourself.

545

I did.

546

I'll show everyone my crazy kitchen layout, my appliances fighting for space, and my creaky floor.

547

And the ugly armchair your grandpa passed down to you.

548

The beautiful ugly armchair.

549

And maybe I'll ask my grandma to help with the food.

550

The heritage potatoes.

551

If she thinks I'm ready.

552

And I'll try to show some real hospitality, like the lady at the restaurant.

553

So nobody leaves hungry.

554

Nobody leaves hungry.

555

And I'll light a candle with a nice scent so the apartment smells like something better than burnt toast.

556

Big dreams.

557

And no renovating.

558

No renovating.

559

The floor stays.

560

I'm putting down roots right next to my creaky floor.

561

Honestly, Mike, your place already feels like home.

562

It's all familiar to you.

563

It just needs to look a little more like you.

564

Thanks, Sarah.

565

That's actually really nice.

566

And to everyone listening, Thank you so much for spending this time with us.

567

If you enjoyed this episode, please give it a like and subscribe to Everyday English Academy.

568

It really helps us make more episodes for you.

569

And we can't wait to read about your family treasures.

570

The recipes, the spoons, the rings.

571

And especially the ugly armchairs.

572

Wherever you are right now, a big house, a tiny room, a place you just moved into,

573

We hope it feels a little more like home today.

574

And if it doesn't yet, maybe just open one box.

575

Great advice from the man with the empty walls.

576

Soon to be the man with one picture on the wall.

577

Take care, everyone.

578

See you in the next episode.

579

Bye, everyone.

580

Bye.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
