    Oct 21 2024
    English from all angles! Are you struggling with your self-confidence? Do you lack the skills needed to achieve your goals? Well, simply act as if you had them until you actually obtain them. In other words, fake it until you make it. In this episode, Drew looks at whether or not inauthenticity is a good thing. Faking it to make it may boost your self-esteem, but when it comes to knockoff products or counterfeit money, inauthenticity is damaging. Pretending to be real is typically disingenuous behavior.

    English from all angles! Quick! > What does “faze” mean? Is there anything that fazes you? Remember, “faze” and “phase” are pronounced the same way. Are you going through a phase? Drew boosts your confidence when it comes to speaking English and helps you quickly improve your listening comprehension. Give it a shot! In this episode, you’ll learn the word “rowdy” and the expression “off your game”. Crowds at sporting events can sometimes be disorderly and disruptive, in other words, rowdy. Rowdy crowds often put athletes off their game. Also, check out the phrasal verbs “phase in” and “phase out”. The euro was phased in as the peseta was phased out. Tons of useful English for you - as usual - so don’t miss out.
