										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Stop memorizing vocabulary lists: Follow one day, from morning to night, to learn seven common English phrasal verbs in the situations where native speakers really use them. After the story, I’ll show you more ways to use each one (<code>run out of</code> milk or time, <code>pick up</code> your kids, <code>show up</code> for school, <code>head out</code> from a party), then test your fluency. Fluency is the difference between knowing a list and knowing how to use it. To finish, I’ll give you three steps for learning ANY phrasal verb: connect it to your day, think about the situation first, and then turn your daily routine into practice. Try it: in the comments, tell us about your day with at least three of these phrasal verbs.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Do your English sentences feel too short and simple? One magic word can help you sound more fluent and professional: <code>although</code>. In this lesson, I’ll show you how to use <code>although</code> to join two ideas into one smooth, advanced sentence. It’s perfect for exams, essays, job interviews, and meetings. Today, we’ll take some basic sentences and upgrade them to intermediate and then advanced level. After watching this class, you’ll be able to do it on your own. You’ll learn where to put the comma, how “although” differs from “though” and “even though,” and avoid the three most common “although” mistakes. We’ll practice with six examples.
