So, there is one other time that I don’t know what I saw. I don’t know if it was a UFO, I don’t know what it is, but it was super, super weird. There’s one time when we had our delivery business, I was actually doing a delivery in this area called Black Mountain, it’s like a neighborhood. It’s sort of on the side of a hill or in a little valley. So on one side of the valley, there are all these houses and they have a beautiful view, of course, during the day. And on the other side of the valley, there are more houses. But I was on the one side that was – it’s quite steep in that area and you have a pretty good view. I went up the road and then I did a U-turn and I parked my car in front of the house. This was a regular customer. I remember I looked up after I had parked my car, and there was this super bright light across on the other side of the valley. But I mean, I was born and raised in Kelowna. I know the geography of the city. End of Transcription Sample.

In this English Phrasal Verb Podcast lesson, you will be learning 6 new phrasal verbs: come up, come out, get up (to), walk around, go on, and look up! We will be using an audio clip from one of our Real Conversations Lessons about owning a delivery service. In particular, this audio clip describes what happened during a delivery order that Amy was dropping off to a client in a rural area late at night. The phrasal verbs and the meanings are here for your reference: * Come up - driving, walk or move toward something * Come out - leaving a place to go to another the place outside of where you were previously * Get up (to) - to arrive (to a place) * Walk around - go around an object * Go on - happen / something that is happening * Look up - to move your head and eyes to look in an upward direction   Stories Make Learning Phrasal Verbs Easier! The audio sample that we used to create this audio lessons is from the conversation lesson about owing a delivery service. It is full of common phrasal verbs that are being used naturally in context. Learning phrasal verbs with stories are easier to learn and remember. When you understand what is happening in a particular situation, your brain will automatically connect the meaning the the new vocabulary (or a phrasal verb in this case).

Learning how to have small talk in English is a big challenge for most learners because they aren't sure what to talk about! In this English Podcast, you will hear us practice having a small talk conversation to understand how to make 'ordinary' events or interests in your life an interesting story or discussion. ** Transcription for Small Talk: ** Students: Hi. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. I am from Mexico. Russia. Saudi Arabia. Prague. Spain. Thanks to Real English Conversations, I have improved my fluency. It's been helping me to think automatically in English. Being part of a cool community of people when practicing English in many ways. The first time I have the opportunity to talk in English. It's a different way of learning. Amy: It's time to take your learning beyond just listening to it. Why don't you join us and our awesome community to practice your English with Curtis, myself, other native speakers and of course these awesome members? To get started go to RealEnglishConversations.com and check out the membership options. Curtis:  Okay, Amy, and what have you been up to lately? Amy:  Well, I would say that I’ve been doing a lot of cooking and baking with plantains. Curtis:  Oh, yeah. We’ve been growing a banana tree we thought at first but they turned out to be plantains. Amy:  Exactly. Gigantic plantains. Like really, really big. So, yeah. We went outside and we counted how many plantains that we had when they were still green and growing on the tree, and we had 51 in total. And I knew that I would be cooking a lot of plantains but I didn’t really realize how big these things are and how long it takes to eat them. But I’ve been making banana bread and banana muffins. Once the plantains ripen, they actually become sweet like a banana – at least the ones that we have – and I’m able to make these sort of things with them. And I’ve been making like regular banana bread, ginger banana bread, cinnamon banana bread, chocolate chip banana bread. Yesterday I made double chocolate banana bread which was coco and chocolate chips. Curtis:  Yes. And muffins. Amy:  And muffins, exactly. Curtis:  Yeah. Amy:  I mean they're good. We eat a few and then we freeze some, and I’ve been giving them to friends and sharing my plantains with people, and we still have 15 on our counter right now. So yeah, I made some plantain chips. That was pretty cool. I figured out how to make them so that they were nice and crunchy. And they have to be green when you make plantain chips, otherwise they're too soft.
