  • Metaphors: the key to understanding everything
    Nov 5 2021

    What is a metaphor? You may be surprised to find out that it is NOT only something English teachers make you learn to write poetry! Metaphors are absolutely everywhere, and understanding them will be the #1 trick to understanding any phrasal verb you find *out in the wild.*


    This episode is only an introduction to metaphors. Be ready for more episodes where I go in depth with specific orientational metaphors (such as GOOD is UP) and how knowing these little ideas will make so many phrasal verbs make sense!


    I'm on Instagram @introvert.english if you have any questions.

  • Business English myths
    Jan 18 2021

    In this episode I explain the myth of business English and how it is related to phrasal verbs. I give a few examples (taken from the popular business English book, Market Leader, there are thousands of phrasal verbs you could use for business.)

    The examples:
    1. Let's get down to business  (start and focus)
    2. Could you hang on a moment please?  (wait)
    3. Perhaps we could get back to the point. (return)
    4. Ok, let’s go over what we’ve agreed. (review)
    5. Right, to sum up then…(summarize)
    6. I think we should move on now… (leave this point and continue)
    7. Can we come back to that later? (return)
