This episode of English with Dane is about something I think a lot of people need to hear. It's a topic that always seems to come up in different ways and so I wanted to share my thoughts on it. It's the idea of speaking like a native speaker. I think a lot of people have this as a goal when learning/practicing English and I'm not sure if is a healthy one. Are you setting yourself up to fail? Is it even achievable? Is it really important? This episode is about trying to answer these questions...

Plus, I think it's really cool to find out what happened on days like today but many years ago. Follow the show on Instagram and...

How many words do you need to know to understand a language? Many students have asked me this and I'm sure it's also a question you have asked yourself at times. This episode is an answer to that question. I found an article by the BBC that I think is very interesting and that answers this question pretty well, so I thought I would share. It turns out that (resulta que) if we know the 800 most frequently used word families (listen to the episode to find out what a family is), we can und...
