    🎧 Ever struggle to get back into work mode after a break? You're not alone! In this relatable episode of the Advanced English Podcast, hosts Kat from the USA and Mark from the UK share their experiences of returning to work after a few days off. This episode offers a deep dive into workplace culture and the transition back to productivity, all while enhancing your English language skills.
    🇺🇸 Kat talks about her return to the office after a 3-day break, expecting to feel rejuvenated but finding the reality somewhat different. She shares the initial pleasure of catching up with coworkers but quickly faces the daunting tasks left by her "Past Self." Despite the overwhelming start, Kat describes her methodical approach to tackling the backlog of emails and projects, finding her rhythm by the day's end.
    🇬🇧 Mark describes his experience of getting back to the grind after a bank holiday, highlighting the challenge of reacclimatizing to the work environment. He talks about the struggle with remembering logins, navigating through folders, and confronting the accumulated backlog of tasks. Through perseverance, Mark gradually works through the pile-up, regaining his workflow momentum by day's end.
    📚 Throughout the episode, Kat and Mark break down various English expressions and workplace jargon, making it an excellent resource for advanced English learners looking to expand their professional vocabulary.

  • @OlivierJeanraux-de6mo
    @OlivierJeanraux-de6mo 5 месяцев назад +1

    For the season 2, i don't know if you've found all the different topics, but there are some that are maybe being interested
    1 - Topics on business as we spend lots of time at work
    2 - Suggestion : some episodes where you talk to another native english speaker at your normal speaking speed. I don't know it can be possible.
    3 - Pronounciation
    4 - Phrasal verbs : you did give us some phrasal verbs in each episode but maybe some specific episodes on phrasal verbs.
    When i attend some meetings with native speakers they use it very often and most of them I've never heard or used.
    Just a few suggestions, hope it can help.
    Anyway thank you a lot, and thank you also for your good mood and your passion for learning english.

  • @abderrahmanekassi4302
    @abderrahmanekassi4302 2 месяца назад +1

    to be back into the flow and to be up to speed again does-it mean "to recover the speed before"

    • @highlevellistening
      @highlevellistening  2 месяца назад

      Yes - that's a good description.
      When you were working before your work, you had a good speed and momentum in your work. During your break, you lose that speed and "flow." When you come back to work, you get back in the flow and get back up to speed again.

    @OlivierJeanraux-de6mo 5 месяцев назад

    A question please : what do you say when you ask someone at work, for any news about a topic or issue? What is the usual way?

    • @highlevellistening
      @highlevellistening  5 месяцев назад

      I think some common phrases are
      “Is there any news about/on… ?”
      “Are there any updates on…?”
      “Have there been any updates on…”
      “Have you heard anything new about…”
      “Could you help me with something? I’m looking for more up to date information on…”
      More information on
      An update on
      “We ran into this issue last week, have you heard anything new since then?
      All these sentences take the focus away from “you” so they make it easy to use in casual conversation at work and they feel appropriate for small talk.

  • @Naaaana1325
    @Naaaana1325 5 месяцев назад

    I have question: what is similar expression of “familiar” since I haven’t heard that expression commonly in usual conversation.

    • @highlevellistening
      @highlevellistening  5 месяцев назад

      "Familiar" can mean when we have experience with or knowledge about something before.
      If you say: "Yes I am familiar with Photoshop", it means you have experience using that software.
      Or in contrast if you said: "Sorry, I'm not familiar with that word". It means you have no knowledge of that word.
      So when you get back into the swing of things, you get familiar with them because you are remembering your prior experience. I hope that makes sense!

      Good question. You can usually say: "I'm back up and running." after you get sick or you've had a problem with your computer. But personally, I wouldn't use it after a holiday. Hope that makes sense!

  • @mepublic2
    @mepublic2 4 месяца назад

    Hi Kat, you were explaining how you guys use "they/their" as a single pronoun/adjective, but in your sentence you were getting back to speed with your coworkerS -plural; so in that particular sentence, I didn't get the clarification about using a single pronoun.

    • @highlevellistening
      @highlevellistening  4 месяца назад

      I can't remember the exact words used, but I may have just mentioned the fact that we can use they/them for one person or multiple people and it's correct to use it in both ways :)
      I may have mentioned, They're getting me up to speed. (could be one coworker could be multiple coworkers at once)
