4
So happy you're here with us today.

6

7
I had way too much coffee this morning, so I'm ready to go.
8
Same here, honestly.
9
Okay, so before we jump in, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's been tuning in lately.
10

18
Alright.
19
So, what do we have for today?
20
Today's episode is packed with conversations.
21
Like actual, real conversations on different topics.
22
Exactly.
23
So, whether you're cooking, going for a walk, or just chilling at home,
24
This is perfect for practicing your listening skills and picking up some new vocabulary.
25
And hey, if you really want to take it to the next level, try shadowing.
26
You know, just repeat what we say right after you hear it.
27
It's a game-changer for your pronunciation.
28
Okay, let's get into it.
29
Alright, so our first conversation today is about something super practical.
30
Asking a co-worker to cover your shift at work.
31
Oh, this is such a common situation.
32
Whether you work in an office, a restaurant, or even remotely, at some point you're going to need someone to fill in for you.
33
Exactly.
34
And the tricky part is knowing how to ask politely, right?
35
You don't want to sound too pushy or too casual.
36
Yeah, there's definitely a balance, so we're going to listen to a conversation first, and then we'll break down some key vocabulary.
37
Sounds good.
38
But first, let's go over some key words and expressions that will help you follow along.
39
Yeah, this way you'll be ready when you hear them in the conversation.
40
Yeah, let's do it.
41
So first up, we have shift.
42
Right.
43
A shift is basically the period of time you're scheduled to work.
44
So, for example, you could say, I have the morning shift tomorrow from 8 to 2.
45
Simple but essential.
46
OK, next one.
47
Cover.
48
This one's really important.
49
When you cover for someone, you do their work while they're away.
50
Like, hey, could you cover for me on Friday?
51
I have a doctor's appointment.
52
And it sounds way more natural than saying do my work for me, right?
53
Definitely.
54
Alright, moving on, the next expression is swap shifts.
55
Oh, I love this one.
56
So, when you swap shifts with someone, you basically trade schedules, like, I'll take your Saturday shift if you take my Sunday.
57
Exactly.
58
It's a fair deal.
59
You help me, I help you.
60
Alright, and last one for this section, short notice.
61
Okay.
62
So, short notice means you're asking for something without giving much time in advance.
63
For example, I know this is short notice, but is there any chance you could cover my shift tonight?
64
And honestly, when you're asking on short notice, being extra polite really helps. For sure.
65
A little politeness goes a long way.
66
Alright, now that you know those key words, let's hear them in action.
67
So in this conversation, two co-workers, Jake and Sophie, are chatting at work.
68
Jake needs a favor.
69
And, well, you'll see how it goes.
70
Hey, Sophie.
71
Do you have a minute?
72
I wanted to ask you something.
73
Sure.
74
What's up?
75
So I have a bit of a situation.
76
My sister is getting married this Saturday.
77
And the ceremony is in the afternoon.
78
The thing is, I'm scheduled to work the closing shift that day, and I really can't miss the wedding.
79
Oh, wow.
80
Congratulations to your sister.
81
That's exciting.
82
So you need someone to cover for you.
83
Yeah, exactly.
84
I was wondering if there's any chance you could take my shift.
85
I know it's kind of short notice, and I'm really sorry about that.
86
I actually found out about the timing just a few days ago because they moved the ceremony to an earlier time.
87
Hmm.
88
Saturday closing shift.
89
That's the 4 to 10, right?
90
Yeah, that's the one.
91
I completely understand if you can't, though.
92
I know weekends are precious.
93
No, I mean, let me think.
94
I was supposed to meet some friends for dinner.
95
But honestly, I could move that to Sunday.
96
It's not a big deal.
97
Really?
98
That would be amazing, Sophie.
99
I'd owe you big time.
100
Don't worry about it.
101
These things happen.
102
Family comes first, you know?
103
I really appreciate it.
104
And hey, if you ever need me to cover for you, just say the word.
105
I'll be there no questions asked I'll definitely keep
106
that in mind actually now
107
that you mention it I might need to swap shifts with
108
someone next month my cousin is visiting from out of town
109
and I want to spend some time with her just let me know the dates
110
and I'll make it work seriously whatever you need thanks Jake I appreciate
111
that okay so for Saturday did you already talk to the manager about about this
112
or do we need to let her know?
113
Yeah, I spoke to Karen this morning.
114
She said it's fine as long as I find someone to cover and we both confirm it with her.
115
So I just need to send her a quick message saying you agreed
116
and then you might need to confirm with her as well.
117
Got it.
118
I'll swing by her office before my break and let her know in person.
119
That way there's no confusion.
120
Perfect.
121
Thanks again, really.
122
I was kind of stressed about this whole thing.
123
I didn't want to let my sister down, but I also didn't want to leave the team hanging.
124
I totally get it.
125
It's hard when personal stuff overlaps with work.
126
But hey, that's what coworkers are for, right?
127
We help each other out.
128
Yeah, you're right.
129
I guess I just felt bad asking on such short notice.
130
I usually try to plan these things ahead, but this time it was out of my hands.
131
Honestly, don't overthink it.
132
You asked politely, you talked to the manager first, and you're offering to return the favor.
133
That's the right way to handle it.
134
Thanks, Sophie.
135
That makes me feel better about it.
136
Anyway, I'll let you get back to work.
137
I don't want to take up more of your time.
138
No worries.
139
Hey, have fun at the wedding.
140
Take some pictures.
141
Oh, I will.
142
My mom already has a whole photography plan.
143
It's going to be a long day, but a good one.
144
I bet.
145
All right, see you tomorrow then?
146
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
147
And seriously, thanks again.
148
Anytime, Jake.
149
Anytime.
150
Alright, so that was our first conversation.
151
Pretty useful, right?
152
Yeah, I think the key takeaway here is that being polite and upfront really makes a difference.
153
Jake didn't just ask out of nowhere.
154
He explained his situation.
155
He talked to the manager first.
156
And he offered to return the favor.
157
Exactly.
158
And Sophie was cool about it because he approached it the right way.
159
No pressure, no awkwardness.
160
All right, so let's move on to our second topic of the day.
161
And this one is a bit different.
162
Yeah, we're going to talk about going to therapy.
163
Or, you know, seeing a psychologist.
164
And I think this is really important because in some places, mental health is still kind of a taboo subject.
165
People don't really talk about it openly.
166
Which is a shame, honestly.
167
Because going to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you.
168
It just means you're taking care of yourself.
169
Exactly.
170
It's like going to the gym, but for your mind.
171
I like that.
172
Anyway, in this next conversation, you're going to hear a lot of vocabulary related to feelings, emotions, and moods.
173
So, pay attention to those.
174
And there's also something else we want you to notice.
175
You're going to hear the present perfect continuous tense quite a bit.
176
Oh, yeah.
177
Good point.
178
So, for those of you who aren't sure what that is, let me explain real quick.
179
The present perfect continuous is used when you want to talk about something
180
that started in the past and is still happening now.
181
Or something that just recently stopped but still has an effect on the present.
182
Right.
183
And the structure is pretty simple.
184
You use have or has, then been, and then the verb with ing.
185
So, for example, I have been feeling really tired lately.
186
See?
187
That tells you it's not just today.
188
It's been going on for a while and it's still happening.
189
Exactly.
190
So keep an ear out for that structure in the conversation.
191
You'll hear it a few times.
192
Alright, with that in mind, let's jump into it.
193
Hi Emma.
194
Come on in.
195
How are you doing today?
196
Hi Dr. Ellis.
197
I'm okay, I guess.
198
A bit tired, but okay.
199
That's alright.
200
Please, have a seat.
201
So, how have things been since our last session?
202
Honestly, it's been a bit of a roller coaster.
203
Some days are fine, but others feel really heavy, you know?
204
I understand.
205
When you say heavy, can you describe what that feels like for you?
206
It's hard to explain.
207
It's like this weight on my chest.
208
I wake up and I already feel exhausted, even though I just slept.
209
And I've been feeling like this for a few weeks now.
210
It's not every day, but it happens more often than I'd like.
211
That sounds tough, and I appreciate you being so open about it.
212
Have you noticed anything that might be triggering these feelings?
213
Any patterns?
214
I've been thinking about that.
215
I think work has a lot to do with it.
216
Things have been really stressful lately.
217
We had some big changes in the team, and I've been taking on more responsibilities.
218
I haven't had much time for myself.
219
That makes sense.
220
When we're overwhelmed, it's easy to neglect our own needs.
221
Have you been sleeping well?
222
Not really.
223
I've been waking up in the middle of the night a lot, and then I just lie there, thinking about everything I have to do the next day.
224
My mind doesn't shut off.
225
That's quite common when we're under a lot of stress.
226
The mind keeps running even when the body needs rest.
227
Have you tried anything to help you relax before bed?
228
I've been trying to read a little, but I end up checking my phone instead.
229
I know it's a bad habit, but it's hard to stop.
230
It is.
231
Screens can be very stimulating, and they make it harder for our brain to wind down.
232
Maybe we can work on creating a small routine that helps you disconnect before sleep.
233
Something simple, nothing too demanding.
234
Yeah, I'd like that.
235
I just feel like I don't have energy for anything these days.
236
Even things I used to enjoy, like going for walks or meeting friends, feel like too much effort.
237
That's an important thing to recognize.
238
When we lose interest in activities that used to bring us joy,
239
it's often a sign that we need to slow down and pay attention to what's going on inside.
240
Have you been feeling this way for long?
241
A couple of months, maybe?
242
At first, I thought it was just a phase.
243
Like, everyone gets tired sometimes, right?
244
But it hasn't really gone away.
245
If anything, it's been getting worse.
246
I'm glad you decided to talk about it.
247
It takes courage to acknowledge these feelings.
248
You mentioned you've been feeling exhausted and disconnected.
249
Have you also been feeling anxious or nervous?
250
Sometimes.
251
Yeah, especially at work.
252
I get this tightness in my stomach before meetings, and my heart starts racing.
253
I keep worrying that I'm going to mess something up or that people will think I'm not good enough.
254
It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself.
255
Do you think those expectations come from others or more from within?
256
Probably from myself, honestly.
257
I've always been a bit of a perfectionist.
258
I hate making mistakes.
259
And lately I've been feeling like I'm constantly falling short.
260
That inner critic can be very loud sometimes.
261
Part of what we can work on together is learning to soften that voice.
262
It doesn't mean lowering your standards, but rather being kinder to yourself when things don't go perfectly.
263
That sounds nice, but I don't even know where to start.
264
That's okay.
265
We'll take it one step at a time.
266
For now, I just want you to notice when that critical voice shows up.
267
Don't try to fight it, just observe it.
268
Can you do that?
269
I think so.
270
I'll try.
271
That's all I ask.
272
You're doing great, Emma.
273
Really.
274
Thanks, Dr. Ellis.
275
I actually feel a bit lighter just talking about all this.
276
That's what this space is for.
277
I'll see you next week, okay?
278
Yeah, see you next week.
279
Okay, so that was a pretty deep conversation.
280
Yeah, it really was.
281
And I think what I like about it is how calm and safe the space felt.
282
Dr. Ellis wasn't judging or rushing.
283
She was just listening.
284
Exactly.
285
And that's something I want to highlight.
286
Therapy isn't about someone telling you what to do or fixing you.
287
It's more about having a space where you can express what's going on without fear.
288
And I think a lot of people are scared to go
289
because they feel like they need to have a real problem, you know?
290
Like, if you're not in a crisis, you don't deserve help.
291
Which is completely false.
292
You don't need to hit rock bottom to talk to someone.
293
Sometimes you just need a little support to deal with everyday stress, work pressure, or just feeling off.
294
Right.
295
And honestly, the earlier you address those feelings, the easier it is to manage them.
296
It's like going to the doctor for a checkup.
297
You don't wait until you're really sick.
298
Exactly.
299
And I hope this conversation helps some of our listeners feel more comfortable with the idea.
300
There's no shame in asking for help.
301
None at all.
302
All right, let's move on to something a bit lighter.
303
Yes.
304
Our third and final conversation of the day is about money.
305
Specifically, talking about monthly expenses with a friend.
306
This is super practical, because let's be honest, we all have to deal with bills and budgets.
307
And knowing how to talk about it naturally in English is really useful.
308
Plus, this conversation is great for practicing numbers.
309
Big numbers, to be specific.
310
Oh, yeah, and this can be tricky for a lot of learners.
311
When someone says a number quickly in conversation, it's easy to get lost.
312
Was that fifteen hundred or fifty hundred?
313
Wait, is five hundred even a thing?
314
No, it's not.
315
But that's exactly the kind of confusion we're talking about.
316
So pay close attention to how numbers are pronounced in this conversation.
317
And don't worry if you need to replay some parts.
318
That's totally normal.
319
All right, let's hear it.
320
Man, this month has been rough.
321
I feel like my money just disappeared.
322
Tell me about it.
323
I checked my bank account yesterday and I was like, where did it all go?
324
Right?
325
I tried to keep track of everything, but somehow I still ended up spending way more than I planned.
326
What's been eating up most of your budget?
327
Rent, obviously.
328
That's the big one.
329
I paid $1,200 a month, and that's already half my salary gone.
330
$1,200?
331
That's insane.
332
I thought my rent was bad.
333
I pay $950, but I also split utilities with my roommate, so that helps.
334
Yeah, I'd live alone, so I pay everything myself.
335
Electricity this month was like $85, which isn't too bad, but then internet is another 60 and my phone bill's around 45.
336
Okay, so just on those basics, you're already at, what, almost $1,400?
337
Yeah, something like that.
338
And I haven't even talked about groceries yet.
339
Groceries are killing me too.
340
I used to spend like $200 a month, but now it's closer to $300.
341
Everything is more expensive.
342
Same here.
343
I went to the supermarket last week and spent $75 on what felt like nothing.
344
Just some chicken, vegetables, rice, and a few snacks.
345
I couldn't believe it.
346
It's crazy and eating out doesn't help either.
347
I try to cook at home, but sometimes I'm just too tired so I order food.
348
Oh, I know.
349
I've been ordering way too much lately.
350
I think I spent around 150 on delivery apps this month alone.
351
That adds up fast.
352
I've been trying to limit myself to once a week but it's hard, especially on Fridays when I just want to relax and not think about cooking.
353
Totally get it.
354
What about other stuff, like subscriptions and all that?
355
Oh, don't even get me started.
356
I have Netflix, Spotify, the gym membership, and I just realized I'm still paying for an app I don't even use anymore.
357
That's like 50 bucks a month on stuff I barely notice.
358
Yeah, those small charges sneak up on you.
359
I canceled a couple of subscriptions last month and honestly, I don't even miss them.
360
I should probably do the same.
361
Anyway, what about savings?
362
Are you managing to put anything aside?
363
A little bit.
364
I try to save at least $200 a month, but sometimes it's more like $100.
365
Depends on how things go.
366
That's still something.
367
I've been trying to build an emergency fund, but it's slow.
368
I've got around $1,500 saved so far.
369
That's good though.
370
Better than nothing.
371
I think I have around $2,000 but I'm scared to touch it.
372
I want to have at least three months of expenses covered just in case.
373
Smart.
374
You never know what might happen.
375
Okay, so real talk.
376
What's your total spending this month looking like?
377
Honestly, probably around $2,200.
378
Maybe a bit more.
379
That's tight.
380
Mine is around $1,900 but only because I've been really careful with food and going out?
381
Yeah, I need to get better at that.
382
Next month I'm setting a strict budget, no more random purchases.
383
Good luck with that.
384
I've said the same thing like five times already.
385
Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
386
All right, so that was our last conversation of the day.
387
Yeah, and honestly, I think a lot of people can relate to that one.
388
Money stuff is stressful, but at least now you've got some useful vocabulary to talk about it.
389
Exactly.
390
And did you catch all those numbers?
391
1,200, 950, 2200.
392
They go by fast, right?
393
They really do.
394
So if you missed some, just go back and listen again.
395
There's no rush.
396
That's the beauty of podcasts.
397
Totally.
398
Okay, so that's it for today's episode.
399
We covered a lot of ground.
400
Asking a co-worker to cover your shift.
401
Going to therapy and talking about feelings and managing monthly expenses.
402
Three very different topics, but all super practical for everyday life.
403
And that's what we want.
404
Real conversations that actually help you improve.
405
Alright, before we go, I just want to say something.
406
Learning a language is hard.
407
Like, really hard.
408
And sometimes it feels like you're not making progress.
409
But trust me, you are.
410
Yeah, every episode you listen to, every new word you pick up,
411
every time you understand something you didn't before, that's progress.
412
Even if it doesn't feel like it.
413
So don't be too hard on yourself.
414
You're doing this and that already says a lot about you.
415
Absolutely.
416
And hey, if you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit that like button.
417

421
it means the world.
422
All right, that's a wrap.
423
Take care, everyone.
424
Bye-bye.
425
See you in the next one.
426
See you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
