Towards the end of the podcast, I also show you how to use ChatGPT to learn how to talk about tv shows in a deeper way!Here are some ways we talk about tv shows in English:Go downhill (fast/quickly/rapidly/suddenly)That tv show went quickly downhill after the first season.Become predictable The Blacklist was incredibly predictable, no surprises in that one after a while. To fizzle out/to peter outThat show was very good for three seasons, but then it began to fizzle out and gradually became less and less good or even popular. Talk about writers/writingThe writers gave upThe writing was fantasticThe writers woke up and decided to smoke crackTo milkThey milked that story for way too long! That show should have ended years ago.Talk about the different seasonsThat show should have ended three seasons agoThat show went on X seasons too many.Great (first/second/third/etc.) seasonA cult classic A cult classic movie is a movie that gains a dedicated and passionate fanbase over time, despite not necessarily being a mainstream success upon its initial release. Binge-worthyThat show is binge-worthy, you won’t regret it. Tug at your heartstringsScrubs is a fantastic comedy show that also pulls at your heartstrings.A guilty pleasureMy guilty pleasure was Grays Anatomy, don’t tell anyone.

Good morning you beautiful English learners, my name is Ronan and my plan is to:Empower you to speak EnglishBoost your confidence when speakingHelp you understand high level, natural, fluent EnglishI am so excited to share this podcast with you because it's the first of a long journey I am embarking on. Basically, let me introduce you to the The Chats!What is The Chats?This is my way of really helping advanced English learners have motivation, structure, and guidance when learning or practicing English. In fact, I see myself more of a facilitator of learning rather than a teacher in this case. How does it work?We get together every two weeks and have The Chats about a topic. Next week, we are talking about a Ted Talk Why Rivers and Lakes Should Have the Same Rights as Humans. We hop on Zoom, we shoot the breeze, I send notes, we all learn something and probably laugh. Our conversations meander from one topic to another and rarely stay on course, but the one thing they are guaranteed to do, help you perfect your perfect English!How do I join?Hit the link in the description, click here, or at the very least just download the workbook for this podcast and enjoy!Anyways, i am going to prepare some cool materials to help you learn English.Chat soon,Ronan

Hey! Last week I told you about the incident with my landlord and turning off the water mid shower, I was not one bit happy. Anyway, I went and spoke to my landlord about this issue and he explained how it was out of his control. Rather than kicking up a fuss, I gave him the benefit of the doubt....And that is what inspired this podcast about the beautiful idiom: To give the benefit of the doubt.Sit back, relax, listen and learn my friends!  My LinksCheck out my website: www.littlesealenglish.com Make a podcast request: www.littlesealenglish.com/requests Check out my Instagram: www.instagram.com/littlesealenglishTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@littlesealenglish YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHM_qxcgv8CRGl88tIvfShA
