Giving us good insight Into the us and the uk cultures and norms , the podcast format and talking about a subject(for example, neighbourhood)is much better than just explaining phrasal verbs or so.. Myriad of 😊 thanks
Meet up with my mates. Nice, more friendly and casual. Catch up with my friends: we haven't talked in a while. Nice. Pop into a shop. Main street, most central road in town, high street: High Street. Thank you. Another lesson packed with casual expressions 🎉🎉🎉
This time my comment goes for Mark: Now I get a much clearer picture of what a terraced house is…! Kate, I’ve learned that we call it basketball court but a baseball field …a paved walking trail…play IN the grass but play ON the concrete…in/on can be so tricky! Thank you for such an amazing video !!
Well done getting the prepositions right! They are super hard and the rules are full of strange little groups and exceptions! You walk [on] the trail, play [on a field] or court and [on] a playground. But you play [in] the park, [in] the grass, [in] the woods or [in] the garden! 😫
Neighbors and neighborhood. Today I learned the difference between them. I like my neighborhood, but during the weekend my neighbors usually have parties, there's little noise here.😅 Thank you, teachers, you are the bests 👏🏼📝
Thanks so much! We're glad you learnt something new with from this episode! Quick note: - There is [a] little noise = (There is some noise) - There is little noise = There is almost NO noise. That one extra "a" makes quite a difference!
Hello, I had a nice experience with my neighbours when I l lived in semidetached house. They offered themselves to cut the grass of my front house garden and also the hedge of my back garden. One neighbour that used to grow plants gave me some tomatoes and cucumber that I really appreciated it. :). In addiction as I was a member of a neighbour's group and I posted that I was looking for a gardener to look after my garden, a lovely man lent me all the tools and he left me this tools for a month. 😍. i can say that is nice to be part of a community in the UK. I hope that I didn't make a lot of errors 😂
Wow that sounds so lovely! It sounds like you have a really nice community around you. My mum actually brought our neighbour some soup because he fell off his bike a few weeks ago. Food (especially cakes) is a great way to make friends 😋
Thanks Kat and Mark, super interesting episode, great to know both countries' neighbourhood environments. Mexico is so diverse in this area, some areas are more similar to USA neighbourhoods, other are more similar to UK's with the Mexican noisier style. Thanks and blessings.
Great Kate and Mark, I am really enjoy listening about your both neigborhoods, especially Mark's story about his toilet 😂 but its nice community anyway. Im living in Indonesia, but my neigborhood as not much enjoy as yours, a lot of houses empty since for selling, rent or broken and some houses live only old people. So it is boring and quite 😅
Hello.. I like the British neighbourhood.. Because we the Indians have the same relation with our next door neighbours .. We have the same kind of sense of community to our neighbors
You're very welcome!' "Hop" literally is a little jump, like a rabbit 🐇. But we also use "hop" to enter a car, a bus, a train, especially when we do it quickly or easily. - In the morning I hop onto the bus and go to school. - We hopped into the car and drove into the city. - A lot of tourists hop on the tour bus and go around the city. - Do you have time to hop onto a Zoom call? Hope that makes sense!
I have to hop in the car to go anywhere, whether I need to go shopping or drop my son off somewhere, yes, I have to rely on my dear car. It's convenient too, in the sense that once I am down town, supermarkets, restaurants, pizzerias, the mechanic shop are within walking distance or a 15 minute drive. It's still convenient. But it's not if you need to go to hospital
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. It sounds like the UK, you *can* take the bus or public transport everywhere, but for convenience and emergencies, a car is really essential
Hello Cat and Mark, I have watched more than 20 episodes of your channel, and I’m learning so much from you guys. I often find the word ‘town’ rather confusing. For example, if I live somewhere in London like Hampstead Heath, what would I mean if I say ‘I’m going into town?’ Does it mean central London? Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for your lovely message! And that's a great question as well! If you are in London, then going "into town" would be visiting the closest, big shopping area near you. The place with the most shops, cafes, shopping centers or places with a lot of foot traffic would be "town". In a big city like London, my first thought would be central London, but if you have a commercial area in a smaller Borough of London, I would also understand that too. I hope that makes sense!
BTW , Mark says : meet up with my mates and Kate: catch up with my friends ..I guess it’s just a girl ‘s thing: we’re eager to know what’s been going on in our lives..I guess men don’t think I about that ..
That was a really interesting episode, especially that I have heard some type of stereotypes about these countries do not have that much sense of neibourhood😅 Here, it is common to visit each other, help each other, and sometimes stick their noses in your business and gossip. 😂 not always is everything perfect,but overall. What is the exactly meaning of downtown and look out for? I guess by "a suburb "you mean a bit far away place from a town,not exactly a village e.g with farms .
Haha your culture sounds like the UK then 🤣 The village gossip moves fast! - 🇬🇧: I live 10 minutes [from town]. - 🇺🇸: I live 10 minutes [from downtown]. It's the same place, it's the city centre with the shops, offices and pedestrians, but we have different words for it. 🇺🇸 [The suburbs] are a residential area on the outskirts of the city. Suburbs don't have farms, but they have parks and green areas. It's mostly houses and small businesses (like cafes or restaurants, mechanics or gyms). Hope that makes sense!
Hi teachers, I enjoy your video as usual, but I’m always struggling to understand when we use the present perfect and the present perfect continuous in real life conversion.could you please explain when we use each one of them in one of your coming videos with a lot of examples please
You are great !!!! I am learning a lot listening to your Podcast, thanks God I've found you
You're very welcome! We're so glad you found us!
Giving us good insight
Into the us and the uk cultures and norms , the podcast format and talking about a subject(for example, neighbourhood)is much better than just explaining phrasal verbs or so..
Myriad of 😊 thanks

@highlevellistening oh that is so generous thing. Yes I think it is important to feel integrated especially when you come from abroad 😊
Most important lesson and deeply appreciate your great attempt. I couldn"t help laughing. Thank you very much dear Mr. Mark and Ms Kat. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😉
Nice video❤❤❤
Thanks 🤗
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Thanks Kat and Mark, super interesting episode, great to know both countries' neighbourhood environments. Mexico is so diverse in this area, some areas are more similar to USA neighbourhoods, other are more similar to UK's with the Mexican noisier style. Thanks and blessings.
Very interesting! Thanks so much for sharing!
You do a very effective team in teaching English and in giving us some clues about the American and British average daily lives. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! 😃
Great Kate and Mark, I am really enjoy listening about your both neigborhoods, especially Mark's story about his toilet 😂 but its nice community anyway. Im living in Indonesia, but my neigborhood as not much enjoy as yours, a lot of houses empty since for selling, rent or broken and some houses live only old people. So it is boring and quite 😅
Thanks for sharing and we're glad you enjoyed it! At least if the neighbourhood is quiet and boring, maybe it's safe as well?
@@highlevellistening yes, its safe. That the good side of my place
Hello.. I like the British neighbourhood.. Because we the Indians have the same relation with our next door neighbours .. We have the same kind of sense of community to our neighbors
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Friendly and helpful neighbours can make all the difference in the world 🌎
That’s great as usual . Would you please more explain about hop . Thank you
You're very welcome!'
"Hop" literally is a little jump, like a rabbit 🐇.
But we also use "hop" to enter a car, a bus, a train, especially when we do it quickly or easily.
- In the morning I hop onto the bus and go to school.
- We hopped into the car and drove into the city.
- A lot of tourists hop on the tour bus and go around the city.
- Do you have time to hop onto a Zoom call?
Hope that makes sense!

It's convenient too, in the sense that once I am down town, supermarkets, restaurants, pizzerias, the mechanic shop are within walking distance or a 15 minute drive. It's still convenient.

@@highlevellistening Thanks a lot. Your explanation really helps =D
Can't say thanks enough.
You're very welcome!
Wow! I'm second 🎉
Haha well done!
BTW , Mark says : meet up with my mates and Kate: catch up with my friends ..I guess it’s just a girl ‘s thing: we’re eager to know what’s been going on in our lives..I guess men don’t think I about that ..
Haha that's probably true. Guys can spend hours together and have no idea about their work, their family, their feelings or problems! 😄 😄
Hello teachers❤❤ I would like you to make a podcast about greeting phrases and answers.
That's a great suggestion actually! There's a hundred ways to say 'hello' in English
That was a really interesting episode, especially that I have heard some type of stereotypes about these countries do not have that much sense of neibourhood😅
Here, it is common to visit each other, help each other, and sometimes stick their noses in your business and gossip. 😂 not always is everything perfect,but overall.
What is the exactly meaning of downtown and look out for?
I guess by "a suburb "you mean a bit far away place from a town,not exactly a village e.g with farms .
Haha your culture sounds like the UK then 🤣 The village gossip moves fast!
- 🇬🇧: I live 10 minutes [from town].
- 🇺🇸: I live 10 minutes [from downtown].
It's the same place, it's the city centre with the shops, offices and pedestrians, but we have different words for it.
🇺🇸 [The suburbs] are a residential area on the outskirts of the city. Suburbs don't have farms, but they have parks and green areas. It's mostly houses and small businesses (like cafes or restaurants, mechanics or gyms).
Hope that makes sense!
@highlevellistening Sadly, I guess, gossiping is a sharing culture for many countries :-) Yes, thank you.
Hi teachers, I enjoy your video as usual, but I’m always struggling to understand when we use the present perfect and the present perfect continuous in real life conversion.could you please explain when we use each one of them in one of your coming videos with a lot of examples please
Good suggestion! We might try a new video series soon about the differences between these two tenses (and many others) in the near future!
