#371 Dogs and their superpower

In the previous episode, we talked about how dogs understand our emotions and how they communicate without words. Today, I want to continue that conversation, but from a different angle. Instead of focusing on emotions, we're going to look at how dogs experience the world, how they gather information, and why they naturally look to humans for guidance. Because dogs don't just feel with us.
They observe, analyze, and cooperate with us in ways that are easy to overlook. Get the transcript on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/371-dogs-and-their-superpower

Today, I want to talk about dogs again. If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you already know this isn't the first time I've brought up dogs. Dogs are one of those topics we can come back to again and again, because each time we look at them from a different angle, we discover something new.  Get the transcript here: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/370-how-dogs-communicate-emotions/

Welcome back! This is the third episode in our 4-part series about going to the doctor. So far, we practiced how to make an appointment and how to check in at the clinic. Today, we'll continue with the next step: talking with the nurse. Usually, before you see the doctor, a nurse will ask you a few questions about your health. The nurse may also take your temperature, check your blood pressure, and write notes for the doctor. Get the transcript on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/368-going-to-the-doctor-3

Today we're beginning a new series—four episodes designed to prepare you for going to the doctor. Why this topic? Well, the truth is simple. At some point, whether you live abroad, travel, or study in another country, you will need medical care. And the very first step is usually the same: booking an appointment. Making that call can feel stressful, especially if you're not confident speaking English on the phone. Don't worry. I'll show you the most useful expressions, share some realistic dialogues, and at the end, we'll practice with a Point of View story so you can really start speaking more automatically.
