English Podcast for Easy English Listening | Habits of People Who Never Give Up

<p>Habits of People Who Never Give Up | Intermediate English Podcast (B1, B2) | Everyday English Academy</p><p><br></p><p>Everybody has a hobby that is still sitting on the coffee table, half started. Today Sarah and Mike talk slowly about the habits of people who never give up, from a harmonica that gets picked up and put down again to a language app deleted on day sixty-two at a rainy bus stop. It is a calm English podcast conversation that gives you the words to talk about your own stops and restarts, at work, at the gym, or in your studies.</p><p><br></p><p>Have you ever announced on a Monday that you are getting back into something, and then quietly stopped by Thursday? Listening to Sarah and Mike, you&#39;ll learn how to describe a setback in simple English, how to say you keep meaning to do something, when to lower the bar instead of planning a huge overhaul, and how to use give up on with a person (which means something much heavier than quitting a hobby). You&#39;ll also hear friendly, everyday ways to answer when a neighbour asks how your new hobby is going.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is perfect for B1 English learners who want to talk honestly about habits, hobbies and small failures in real-life speaking, using natural everyday vocabulary instead of textbook phrases.</p><p><br></p><p>💡 Tip: This week, lower the bar once: swim eleven minutes, then say aloud what you actually did.</p><p><br></p><p>📚 Vocabulary in this episode</p><p>• setback: a problem that pushes you back</p><p>• slack off: to do less than you should</p><p>• lower the bar: to expect less of yourself</p><p>• resilient: able to come back after problems</p><p>• determined: wanting something strongly, not stopping</p><p>• halfhearted: done without real effort or interest</p><p>• cut your losses: to stop before you lose more</p><p>• attempt: one try at something</p><p>• trial and error: trying, failing, and trying again</p><p>• sunk cost: time or money you can never get back</p><p>• overhaul: a big change to everything at once</p><p>• sustainable: easy to keep doing for a long time</p><p>• obstacle: something that stands in your way</p><p>• minor: small, not serious</p><p>• unwavering: never weakening or shaking</p><p><br></p><p>🎯 In this episode, you can practise:</p><p>• Talking About Habits In English</p><p>• Describing A Setback</p><p>• Give Up On Someone Meaning</p><p>• I Keep Meaning To</p><p>• Get Back Into A Hobby</p><p>• Lower The Bar Phrases</p><p>• Trial And Error Vocabulary</p><p>• Daily English conversation</p><p>• English shadowing practice</p><p>• B1 English vocabulary</p><p><br></p><p>Everyday English Academy is where Sarah and Mike sit down for slow, easy everyday conversations that help English learners grow their listening, speaking, vocabulary and confidence one relaxed chat at a time.</p><p><br></p><p>Pour something warm, sit back, and practise along with us at an easy pace.</p><p><br></p><p>Try the eleven minute version of your own habit this week, then come back and practise the words out loud with us. 🔔 Subscribe to Everyday English Academy for a new slow English conversation every week.</p><p><br></p><p>#EnglishPodcast #EnglishVocabulary #B1English #SlowEnglish #EverydayEnglish #HabitsAndGoals #LearnEnglish #EnglishListening #ESL #EverydayEnglishAcademy</p>
