Ok, so…what is a plateau? A plateau occurs when you stop your progress despite continuing to do "all the right things". An interesting expression for this situation is: to hit a plateau. For example:
It seems I hit a plateau, because I can't see any progress with my English, and I'm still studying really hard!
More literally, a plateau is a large flat area of land. This definition makes total sense, because if you are walking on a plateau, you are not going up or down. You stay at the same height.

Get the text on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/351-false-friends
Example 1: Actual
This one's a classic false friend.
In Spanish, "actual" or in Portuguese "atual" means "current" or "present."
But in English, "actual" means real or true — not "current."
So if you say: 👉 "My actual job is very interesting," you probably mean: "My current job."

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 - 11min - 462 - #341 What Is Gaslighting? – Understanding Manipulation and Its Effects
The word "gaslighting" comes from a play called "Gas Light." written in 1938 by Patrick Hamilton.
In this play, a husband tries to make his wife think she is losing her mind. He does some tricky things, like secretly making the lights from gas lamps in their house dimmer, and then he tells her that she's just imagining these changes. This play later became a movie.
Nowadays, when we say "gaslighting," we mean when someone tries to make another person unsure about their own memory or feelings, similar to what the husband did to his wife in the story.

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 - 15min - 452 - #331 Cooking Vocabulary - Cast Iron Skillet
Today, I want to talk about something I use every day in my kitchen—my cast iron skillet.
A long time ago, I used different pans for cooking. Some were good, but they didn't last long. Some had a nonstick surface, but after some time, it was gone. And some just didn't cook food the way I liked.

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 - 19min - 447 - #327 Time Management when learning English
Have you ever wondered how to find more time to do something? I ask myself that all the time. In fact, I think time runs away from me, and I don't have time to chase it.
The truth is time flies. And it flies for everyone. We always have something to do in today's society, and there is never time for anything. But don't despair. Even in these circumstances, you can find a good strategy to learn English.
As you know, my system is based on listening. Therefore, it is a significant advantage since you can take the lessons wherever you want on your mobile, tablet, or laptop. There is no need to sit in front of the computer and start studying.
