From Speak English with Klaas.
3
Hello, hello lovely listeners.
4
Welcome back to the English Leap Podcast, your place for real English conversations,
5
natural listening practice, and everyday English you can actually use.
6
I'm Anna.
7
And I'm Jake.
8
It's lovely to have you here with us.
9
How are you doing today, Anna?
10
I'm doing really well, thanks, Jake.
11
I've had a pretty nice morning so far.
12
How about you?
13
How's your day going?
14
Pretty good, actually.
15
Although getting out of bed this morning was a bit of a struggle.
16
Oh, really?
17
Didn't sleep well?
18
No, I slept fine.
19
Maybe a little too well.
20
My bed was so comfortable this morning, I just didn't want to leave it.
21
Oh, I know that feeling.
22
Sometimes getting out of a warm, comfortable bed is the hardest part of the morning.
23
Exactly.
24
Especially when you know you've got a busy day ahead of you.
25
Jake, can I ask you something?
26
How many alarms do you set in the morning?
27
Do you want the honest answer or the answer that makes me sound like a responsible adult?
28
Oh, now I definitely want the honest answer.
29
Four.
30
Four?
31
Jake, why you need four alarms?
32
Well, the first one wakes me up.
33
The second reminds me that I should probably get up.
34
The third makes me feel guilty, and the fourth, that's when I actually panic.
35
Oh, Jake, so your morning routine starts with a little emergency.
36
Pretty much.
37
And I haven't even made breakfast yet.
38
Well, I think you've given us the perfect topic for today's conversation, our daily routines.
39
That's right.
40
Today we're talking about how to describe your daily routine in English, from those sleepy mornings to busy afternoons and relaxing evenings.
41
And we'll be sharing our own habits and experiences along the way, so you'll hear natural ways to talk about your day,
42
your schedule, and the little things you do regularly.
43
This is a B1, B2 level conversation, so it's easy to follow,
44
with plenty of useful everyday English expressions to help you improve your listening and speaking skills.
45
And later, we'll have our word tour, where we'll revisit six useful words from today's conversation.
46
You'll hear them naturally first, and then we'll practice them together.
47
Plus, our Say It Better segment, where we'll go over some natural phrases you can use when talking about your own routine.
48
Oh, and before we get into it, we have a fun question for you.
49
What's one little shortcut you take to make your daily routine easier?
50
Does choosing clothes that don't need ironing count?
51
Absolutely.
52
That's actually quite clever.
53
Thank you.
54
Now tell us your best everyday shortcut in the comments.
55
We might even try a few ourselves.
56
Especially you, Jake.
57
With four alarms every morning, I think you could use a few more shortcuts.
58
You might be right.
59
But now that everyone knows about my four alarms, I think it's only fair that you tell us a little about your mornings.
60
Fair enough.
61
Although I promise my mornings aren't always as organized as you might think.
62
Really?
63
Because I was imagining you waking up at 6,
64
opening the curtains, and calmly enjoying your tea while the rest of us are still fighting with our alarms.
65
Well, you're not completely wrong about the tea.
66
I'm usually up by 6 .30.
67
I open the curtains and head straight to the kitchen.
68
I just like having a little time before the day gets noisy.
69
Hmm, that sounds nice.
70
Do you have breakfast right away?
71
Not usually.
72
I make tea first, check what I have planned for the day, and then get something to eat.
73
What about you?
74
Once you've survived all four alarms, what's the first thing you do?
75
Hmm, honestly, I usually sit on the edge of the bed for a minute, just trying to wake up properly.
76
Oh, so you're awake, but you're not quite ready to face the world yet.
77
Definitely.
78
I'm usually pretty groggy first thing in the morning.
79
My eyes are open, but my brain is still catching up.
80
Oh, that half -awake feeling when even choosing what to wear seems like a difficult decision.
81
Yes.
82
Yesterday I was so groggy, I spent five minutes looking for my glasses.
83
Oh no, where were they?
84
On my head.
85
Oh, Jake, please tell me you hadn't asked anyone to help you find them.
86
Thankfully, no. That would have been a difficult one to explain.
87
Well, at least you found them.
88
I think everybody has those moments, especially when they're rushing.
89
You know what I've noticed, though?
90
When I give myself enough time in the morning, I actually enjoy getting ready.
91
It's only when I'm running late that everything feels stressful.
92
I think that's the real difference.
93
It's not just what you do in the morning.
94
It's whether you have enough time to enjoy any of it.
95
Right.
96
So do you follow the same routine every single day?
97
More or less on weekdays.
98
I usually have tea, eat breakfast, get dressed, and spend a few minutes going over my plans.
99
But weekends are different.
100
Sometimes I'll stay in bed a little longer or make a proper breakfast.
101
Oh, a proper breakfast sounds good.
102
What does that look like for you?
103
Maybe scrambled eggs, toast, and some fruit.
104
Nothing complicated.
105
But I like sitting down and enjoying it instead of eating while doing three other things.
106
OK, now I feel called out.
107
I'm definitely guilty of eating breakfast while checking emails.
108
Jake, you haven't even finished waking up and you're already checking emails?
109
I know, I know.
110
It's a terrible habit.
111
But sometimes I just want to see what's waiting for me before I start work.
112
I get that.
113
Although, does it actually help or does it just make you think about work before you've had breakfast?
114
Hmm, mostly the second one, if I'm being fair.
115
Sometimes I open an email, realize it needs a proper reply, and then spend the next 10 minutes thinking about it while my toast gets cold.
116
Oh, cold toast.
117
That's a disappointing way to start the day.
118
It really is.
119
So I've been trying something different lately.
120
I leave my phone alone until I've finished breakfast.
121
Oh, that's a good change.
122
Is it working?
123
Some days better than others, but when I manage it, I feel less rushed.
124
I actually finish breakfast before my mind jumps into work mode.
125
And that's probably the nice thing about having a routine.
126
It doesn't have to be perfect.
127
It just needs to make your day a little easier.
128
Although once breakfast is over, there's still the small matter of getting ready and leaving the house.
129
Ah, yes.
130
And judging by your morning so far, I imagine that's where things get interesting.
131
Let's just say I've learned that getting ready in 10 minutes sounds much easier than it actually is.
132
So how long does it actually take you to get ready?
133
About half an hour, usually.
134
But if I'm running late, everything suddenly takes twice as long.
135
Oh, I know.
136
You can't find your keys, you change your mind about what to wear.
137
And somehow you always think you can fit one more thing into your morning.
138
Which is usually when you discover you've got less time than you thought.
139
Exactly.
140
Although I do try to squeeze in a little exercise before work when I can.
141
Oh, that's nice.
142
So even on a busy morning you try to find a little time for it?
143
Yeah, nothing major.
144
Maybe ten minutes of stretching or a quick walk around the block.
145
I feel better when I move a little before sitting down all day.
146
I sometimes squeeze in a short walk after breakfast, too.
147
If I leave it until later, there's a good chance I won't get around to it.
148
Oh, tell me about it.
149
You think you'll have more time in the evening, and then suddenly it's nine o 'clock.
150
That's why I don't try to fit too much into my mornings.
151
A few things I enjoy, enough time to get ready, and I'm happy.
152
I've actually started getting my clothes ready the night before.
153
It saves me a few minutes, especially on days when I need to leave early.
154
Oh, that's clever.
155
One less thing to think about when you're still half asleep.
156
Exactly.
157
And it means I'm less likely to rush out the door and forget something.
158
Hopefully not your glasses.
159
Those are staying on my face from now on.
160
Well, once you're ready, do you usually leave the house at the same time?
161
On office days, pretty much.
162
I try to leave a little earlier than I need to, just in case there's traffic.
163
What about you?
164
Around eight on days when I'm working outside the house.
165
I hate that feeling of rushing to catch a bus or worrying about whether I'll arrive on time.
166
Oh, tell me about it.
167
Nothing makes a ten -minute delay feel longer than knowing you're already running late.
168
And once you're stuck in traffic, there's not much you can do.
169
That's why I usually give myself a little extra time.
170
Working from home definitely makes that part easier.
171
No commute, no rushing out the door.
172
True, but it has its own little challenges.
173
Sometimes you look up from your laptop and realize you haven't left the house all day.
174
Oh, I've done that.
175
You suddenly notice it's getting dark, and you're still wearing the same comfortable clothes you put on that morning.
176
I know.
177
Although I do like getting properly dressed even when I'm working from home.
178
It helps me feel ready for the day.
179
See, I'm the opposite.
180
If nobody needs to see me, comfortable clothes win.
181
Fair enough.
182
Just don't join an important video meeting in your pajamas.
183
Don't worry, Anna.
184
I make sure I'm properly dressed before turning on the camera.
185
Good.
186
That's reassuring.
187
Thank you.
188
Although whether I'm working from home or going into the office, once I open my laptop, the workday officially begins.
189
So what's the first thing you usually do when you start working?
190
Usually I check my schedule and make a quick list of what needs to get done.
191
Then I like to tackle the hardest task first.
192
Ah, so you like to tackle the difficult stuff first, get it out of the way while your mind is still fresh.
193
Exactly.
194
If I leave it until the afternoon, I tend to put it off, and then it's sitting in the back of my mind all day.
195
Oh, I do something similar.
196
If there's something important I need to finish, I try to give it my full attention before smaller tasks start piling up.
197
That's the tricky part, though.
198
Giving something your full attention isn't always easy.
199
Especially when people keep interrupting you.
200
Yes!
201
I'll be halfway through something and a message pops up, then another one.
202
Before I know it, I've forgotten what I was doing.
203
Oh, that's annoying.
204
Sometimes the interruption only takes ten seconds, but getting your concentration back takes much longer.
205
That's exactly it.
206
I get distracted so easily when notifications keep appearing.
207
So now, when I'm working on something important, I sometimes put my phone on silent.
208
Oh, I do that too.
209
Although my biggest distraction is usually my own thoughts.
210
Really?
211
What do you mean?
212
Well, I'll be working on something and suddenly remember that I need to buy groceries.
213
Then I start thinking about dinner, which reminds me that I forgot to call someone yesterday.
214
Oh, I know that chain of thoughts.
215
You start with one little thing, and somehow your brain takes you on a completely different journey.
216
Exactly.
217
That's why I keep a notepad nearby.
218
If something unrelated comes to mind, I write it down and get back to what I was doing.
219
That's clever.
220
I might try that.
221
Although my notepad would probably end up full of reminders like buy milk, and find out why the printer is making that noise.
222
Well, those things need remembering, too.
223
They do.
224
And speaking of remembering, I almost always forget to take a proper break when work gets busy.
225
Oh, really?
226
Do you sometimes work straight through lunch?
227
Occasionally.
228
Not because I'm trying to be impressive.
229
I just get caught up in something and lose track of time.
230
I understand, especially when you're close to finishing a task.
231
You think, I'll just finish this one thing, and suddenly an hour has passed.
232
And by then, I'm starving.
233
Oh, I've had that happen.
234
Actually, I once spent the whole morning looking forward to the lunch I'd packed.
235
Oh, what did you make?
236
A lovely little pasta salad.
237
I'd prepared it the night before, put it in the fridge, and completely forgot to take it with me the next morning.
238
Wait, wait, wait.
239
You made your lunch the night before, had it ready to go, and still left it at home?
240
Yes, and I didn't remember until I opened my bag at lunchtime.
241
Oof, that's painful, especially when you've been looking forward to eating it all morning.
242
I know.
243
I ended up buying a sandwich, and when I got home, there was my lunch still sitting in the fridge.
244
Well, Anna, I'm feeling a lot better about my missing glasses now.
245
Fair enough.
246
We're both capable of a little morning confusion.
247
Apparently so.
248
And honestly, by the time lunch comes around, I'm usually ready to step away from my desk.
249
Me too.
250
Sometimes that break is exactly what you need before facing the afternoon.
251
You know what's strange, Anna?
252
I feel perfectly fine during lunch.
253
But about an hour later, my energy suddenly disappears.
254
Oh, that afternoon slump.
255
Around two or three o 'clock?
256
Yep, and usually when I've still got plenty of work left.
257
Oof, that's difficult.
258
What do you normally do when that happens?
259
I used to reach for another cup of coffee, but lately I've been trying to go for a short walk instead.
260
Oh, that's interesting.
261
Does it help?
262
Usually.
263
Just getting outside and moving around for ten minutes makes a difference.
264
I come back feeling more awake.
265
I find that, too.
266
Sometimes a little fresh air and a change of scenery leave me feeling rejuvenated.
267
Rejuvenated.
268
I like that word.
269
It's that refreshed feeling when you've had a break and your energy comes back.
270
Yes.
271
Although it doesn't always take a long break.
272
Sometimes I just make tea, stretch my legs, or sit some more quiet for a few minutes.
273
And it's funny how something so simple can change your mood.
274
It really can.
275
Although some afternoons are so busy that I barely notice the time passing.
276
Oh, those are the days when five o 'clock seems to arrive out of nowhere.
277
I'll be finishing something and suddenly realize it's almost time to wrap things up.
278
Unless someone sends you a message at 4 .59 asking, Have you got a minute?
279
Oh, no, not that question.
280
Because somehow that minute always becomes half an hour.
281
It certainly can.
282
But most days I manage to finish work at a reasonable time.
283
And that moment when you finally close your laptop?
284
Beautiful.
285
You sound very relieved.
286
I am.
287
Especially when I know I have a quiet evening ahead.
288
Ah, now that depends.
289
Sometimes the evening is relaxing.
290
Other times there's a whole new list of things waiting at home.
291
Oh, don't remind me.
292
Grocery shopping, laundry, cooking dinner.
293
Sometimes finishing work just means starting a different kind of work.
294
That's so true.
295
Especially when you get home, open the fridge, and realize you haven't planned anything for dinner.
296
Oh, I've done that.
297
I stand there staring at everything, hoping a meal will somehow appear.
298
And then you close the fridge and open it again five minutes later.
299
Exactly, as if something new might have arrived.
300
Well, on busy evenings, I usually make something simple.
301
But when I have more time, I actually enjoy cooking with a little music playing.
302
That sounds lovely.
303
I enjoy cooking, too, although I prefer meals that don't leave me with a mountain of dishes.
304
So the real goal is avoiding the washing up.
305
Exactly.
306
You figured me out.
307
But once dinner's finished, I like to slow down a little, Maybe watch something, read, or call a friend.
308
Oh, I enjoy reading in the evenings, too.
309
Sometimes I'll watch an episode of a show, but I try not to spend the whole evening looking at screens.
310
Hmm, that's something I need to work on.
311
I can easily sit down to watch one episode and end up watching three.
312
Ugh, the famous just one more episode.
313
And then the next morning I'm wondering why I need four alarms.
314
I think we've finally discovered the problem.
315
You might be right.
316
But here's the thing.
317
After a busy day, I don't always want to do something exciting.
318
Sometimes a quiet evening is exactly what I need.
319
Oh, I understand that.
320
Sometimes I'll spend the whole day looking forward to reading a book, and then when evening comes, I'm too tired to read more than two pages.
321
Two pages?
322
Well, at least you open the book.
323
That's what I tell myself.
324
Although some evenings I do feel like getting out and seeing someone.
325
Oh, absolutely.
326
A last -minute invitation can be a nice surprise.
327
Actually, something like that happened to me recently.
328
Oh, really?
329
What happened?
330
Last Friday, I was planning a quiet evening at home when a friend called and invited me out for dinner.
331
Oh, one of those last -minute invitations.
332
Did you go?
333
I did.
334
It was completely spontaneous and we ended up having a really good time.
335
Oh, I love that.
336
You hadn't planned to go out at all, and then you just decided to go.
337
Sometimes those last -minute evenings turn into lovely memories.
338
They really do.
339
Although I wouldn't want every evening to be like that.
340
I still enjoy knowing what my week looks like.
341
Oh, same here.
342
I enjoy spontaneous plans when I have the energy, but sometimes I really look forward to a quiet evening at home.
343
That's fair.
344
I think there's something comforting about knowing you don't have to go anywhere or do anything.
345
And I don't think having a routine means you have to follow exactly the same schedule every day.
346
Sometimes work runs late, someone needs your help, or you simply don't feel like doing what you planned.
347
Right.
348
My favorite routines are the ones with a little room to breathe.
349
I like that.
350
Enough structure to help the day run smoothly, but enough flexibility for something unexpected.
351
Speaking of unexpected things, something pretty embarrassing happened to me last week.
352
Oh, no. What happened?
353
I was meeting a friend for coffee, and for once, I actually arrived early.
354
I was feeling quite proud of myself.
355
Oh, this already sounds suspicious.
356
Wait, wait.
357
Let me finish.
358
I got to the cafe, sat down, ordered my drink, and sent him a message saying I'd arrived.
359
Okay.
360
He replied, Jake, we're meeting tomorrow.
361
Oh, no. You went on the wrong day?
362
Yep.
363
Wrong day, right cafe.
364
At least I got a nice coffee out of it.
365
Well, that's one way to have a spontaneous coffee break.
366
And a surprisingly relaxing one.
367
I just sat there enjoying my coffee with absolutely nowhere else I needed to be.
368
Well, that doesn't sound too bad.
369
Although I'm guessing you checked the date before leaving the house the next day?
370
Oh, absolutely.
371
I wasn't making that mistake twice.
372
You know, Jake, that's what I love about everyday conversations.
373
Sometimes the smallest things give us the funniest stories.
374
Apparently so.
375
I went out for coffee and came home with a story I wasn't expecting.
376
Hmm.
377
Okay, so we've used some really useful words today.
378
Let's slow them down.
379
Yes.
380
This is our word tour.
381
Listen first, then repeat with us.
382
Earlier, you mentioned how difficult it can be to wake up properly in the morning.
383
The word was groggy.
384
Groggy means feeling tired, slow, and not completely awake.
385
I always feel a little groggy when I wake up too early.
386
Or, after a restless night, she felt groggy all morning.
387
It's that feeling when your body is awake but your mind needs a few more minutes.
388
Or when you start looking for the glasses that are already on your head.
389
I knew that was coming.
390
Then we talked about finding time for small activities even on busy mornings.
391
That's where we heard squeeze in.
392
When you squeeze something in, you find time for it even though your schedule is already busy.
393
I try to squeeze in a short walk before work.
394
Or can we squeeze in a quick coffee before your meeting?
395
A useful expression for those days when your schedule is already pretty full.
396
Even a few minutes can be enough to squeeze something in.
397
Next, we talked about starting our work day and dealing with difficult tasks.
398
The word there was tackle.
399
To tackle a task means to begin dealing with it, especially when it requires some effort.
400
I like to tackle my most important work first.
401
Or, we need to tackle a few problems before the weekend.
402
So, you might tackle a difficult assignment, a problem at work, or even a messy kitchen.
403
Ah, that last one's waiting for me tonight.
404
Then we talked about those moments when we're trying to concentrate, but something keeps pulling our attention away.
405
Distracted.
406
If you're distracted, you're having trouble concentrating because something else is taking your attention.
407
I get distracted when my phone keeps buzzing.
408
Or, she was distracted by the noise outside her window.
409
And sometimes the distraction is your own brain reminding you about something completely unrelated.
410
Like buying groceries in the middle of an important task.
411
Ah, that one's difficult.
412
You can't even put your thoughts on silent.
413
Next, we talked about taking a break and getting some of our energy back.
414
Rejuvenated.
415
If you feel rejuvenated, you feel refreshed and full of energy again.
416
After a good night's sleep, I felt completely rejuvenated.
417
Or a relaxing weekend left her feeling rejuvenated.
418
So it's that fresh, energetic feeling you get after a proper break.
419
Especially when you didn't realize how much you needed one.
420
And finally, we talked about doing something without planning it in advance.
421
Spontaneous.
422
Something spontaneous happens naturally or is decided in the moment without much planning.
423
I love those little unplanned moments when they turn into good memories.
424
Same here, although I do recommend checking the date before going to meet someone.
425
Yes, Jape, that would help.
426
So, today we had groggy, squeeze in, tackle, distracted, rejuvenated, and spontaneous.
427
Choose one of those words and make a sentence about your own daily routine.
428
When a word connects to something you actually experience, it's often easier to remember.
429
And, of course, we heard some useful everyday phrases, too.
430
We did!
431
Let's take a look at those.
432
This is Say It Better.
433
We'll take a simple idea and give you another natural way to express the same thing.
434
And since we've spent today talking about our routines, let's start right where our day begins – getting out of bed.
435
Which is apparently quite an adventure for you.
436
It really is.
437
And instead of saying, I'm usually awake before 7, you could say, I'm usually up by 7.
438
Right.
439
I'm usually up by 6 .30 on weekdays.
440
So when you're up by a certain time, you're awake and usually starting your day by then.
441
Although being awake and feeling awake are two very different things.
442
Oh, absolutely.
443
I know that feeling all too well.
444
And once you finally get out of bed, where do you usually go?
445
Usually the kitchen.
446
I go there as soon as I get up because I need my coffee.
447
So you could say I head straight to the kitchen.
448
Or, after work, I usually head straight home.
449
Head straight to means you go somewhere directly, without stopping somewhere else first.
450
Although, on some mornings I wish I could head straight from my bed to the office and skip everything in between.
451
Oh, Jake, that would certainly save you some time.
452
It would, especially on those mornings when I'm running late.
453
Ah, that's another useful expression instead of saying, I'm behind schedule and might not arrive on time, you can simply say, I'm running late.
454
I couldn't stop for breakfast because I was running late.
455
Or, sorry, I'm running a little late.
456
I'll be there in ten minutes.
457
Oh, I've sent that message more times than I'd like to admit.
458
Haven't we all?
459
And sometimes you're running late because you got so busy with something that you completely forgot about the time.
460
Oh, yes.
461
Like when I start checking emails and suddenly realize I've been sitting there for half an hour.
462
Exactly.
463
You could say, I got caught up in something.
464
I got caught up in work and forgot to take my lunch break.
465
Or, we got caught up in our conversation and lost track of time.
466
So, when you get caught up in something, you're so involved in it that you stop paying attention to other things.
467
And I like that second example because it connects to another expression we heard today.
468
Oh, yes, that's when I use a lot.
469
Instead of saying, I didn't notice how much time had passed, you can say, I lost track of time.
470
I started watching a movie and completely lost track of time.
471
Or I was reading before bed and lost track of time.
472
Although, in your case, Jake, I think it might be those three episodes you watch when you only plan to watch one.
473
OK, fair point.
474
And then I look at the clock and realize it's nearly midnight.
475
Oh, no, and suddenly the next morning doesn't sound quite so relaxing.
476
Not at all, which is why I've been trying to finish things a little earlier in the evening.
477
Mmm, wrap things up a little earlier, you mean?
478
Exactly.
479
Instead of simply saying, I finish what I'm doing, I could say, I wrap things up.
480
I usually wrap things up at work around 5 .30.
481
Or let's wrap things up so we can head home.
482
Right.
483
And wrap things up means bringing something you're doing to an end.
484
Speaking of which, I think we've covered some lovely everyday expressions.
485
We certainly have, and you don't need to remember everything at once.
486
Just choose one or two expressions that you can use when talking about your own day.
487
Even a little practice can help those expressions start to feel more natural.
488
Exactly.
489
And a few minutes of English practice can easily become part of your daily routine.
490
And if you'd like to keep practicing today's English, you can join us inside the English Leap Club.

Listen first, then speak along with us.
494
And you can squeeze in a few minutes whenever it fits your day.
495
There you go!
496
One of today's expressions already!
497
See?
498
English practice can become part of your routine, too.
499
You know, Anna, I think I could make my mornings a little easier.
500
Oh?
501
Have we finally reached the end of the four -alarm era?
502
Not quite.
503
But maybe I'll stop checking emails over breakfast and give myself a little more time to get ready.
504
That sounds like a good start.
505
Although I should probably remember to take my lunch with me before I start giving anyone advice.
506
Fair point.
507
Between my glasses and your pasta salad, we've both got room for improvement.
508
We certainly do.
509
And I bet everyone listening has a few stories of their own.
510
Oh, I'm sure they do.
511
We'd love to hear a little about your daily routine.
512
So here's our question for you today.
513
What's one thing you usually do every day?
514
Maybe you go for a morning walk, make yourself a cup of coffee, or read before bed.
515
Tell us in the comments and try using one of today's expressions.
516
We'd love to read your answers.
517
And if you enjoyed this episode, give it a like and subscribe to English Leap Podcast so you can join us again next time.
518
Well, Jake, I think it's time to wrap things up.
519
Agreed.
520
And tomorrow morning, I might even try getting up after the first alarm.
521
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
522
Let's not make promises we can't keep.
523
Fair enough.
524
Maybe I'll start with the third one.
525
That's progress, I suppose.
526
Take care, everyone, and we hope the rest of your day goes smoothly.
527
Thanks so much for spending this time with us.
528
Bye, wonderful listeners.
529
Bye for now.
530
Your progress doesn't end here.
