The Importance of Asking Questions S2:E1

Welcome back and Happy New Year! Join me on this episode as I discuss what actually goes on in our brains when we decide we want to talk to someone. The Human Communication Cycle. 

Welcome back to lingcast S2:E3! Join me this week as I discuss 5 of my favourite strange sayings and idioms we use on a daily basis and explain what on earth they mean. 

Join me this week as I discuss the effects of Covid-19 on our language, and how Oxford broke it's one word rule for such an unprecedented year. 

This episode of lincast covers how linguistic knowledge can be applied to real world settings in order to resolve our language-based issues. This special mid-week episode is for a University assessment and so is much faster and more jam packed than the usual lingcast style. Feel free to listen and think yourself about real world problems that could be resolved through the application of linguistic knowledge. 

Welcome back to lingcast for the start of season 2! This week I discuss the importance of questions and just why asking questions could lead to life changing events. 

Do you tell people more about yourself from the way you talk or the way you act? What does your body language say about you? And is it possible to hide your body language to prevent revealing your true emotions? Join me this week on lingcast as I discuss how an FBI agent could analyse your body language to determine if you are a spy, talk about how we may behave more like animals than we initially thought, and question if we can fake it until we make it.  If you want to keep up to date with the latest lingcast related topics, follow on instagram @_lingcast! lingcast: S1:E5 - Body Language 

Join me in this episode and think about what learning a second or other language really means, is there a difference between learning your first language and learning others later in life, Why does language learning become harder with age, and question who would make a better English teacher; a native English speaker or a non-native English speaker?

This episode of lingcast is dedicated to the University College London and their request of an episode about accommodation theory.  Have you ever been asked if you kiss your mother with that mouth, or told to wash your mouth out with soap? Join me and think about what causes our voice to change when we are with our friends compared to when we're with our family, and ask yourself the all important question of how would you speak to the Queen. 

Join me in season 1 episode 2 as I discuss the history of standard English and think about whether it needs a reboot in 2020.

What actually happens when someone takes something the wrong way? Was it what you said, or how you said it?
