This ZEP live show features my good friend Marija from Macedonia. The topic is dilemmas. 

On last week's Zdenek's English Podcast live show we had a high profile guest Martin from England who is well know for his popular Rock 'n Roll English podcast. We talk about all different kinds of accommodation. I have quite a few questions for Martin regarding this topic. And perhaps most interestingly, we share our, often embarrassing, experiences of living with other people.    More about Mart...

This is last week's ZEP live show recorded with my guest Yota. Yota is a teacher I used to work with in London. She has a very popular instagram page:  https://www.instagram.com/learnenglisheverywhere/ . This is where she posts memes, pictures and videos and where she teaches useful idiomatic language through them. In this show we discuss best ways to learn vocabulary in general.

The guest of last week's live show was Mark and the topic was idioms related to rules, law, order, and authority. 

In this episode I speak to Ethan over Zoom. Ethan has been on this podcast many times before especially in the early days of the podcast and you can search for more episodes with Ethan in the archive. This particular edition is more of a catch-up. Ethan is currently living in Austria and learning German. So we speak a bit about that. We also talk a lot about what has happened in the world since we...

Another ZEP live show this time featuring English teacher Luu who was my DELTA classmate. We talk about our struggles with English in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. 

This ZEP live show features my Turkish friend and an ex-colleague from London Musa who has been living a dream in London. We talk about Musa's learning journey and how he managed to get to the UK. We also speak about benefits of living abroad. 

Finally the wait is over. I've released a new podcast to mark the occasion of 300th episode of Zdenek's English Podcast. What is it called? What kind of podcast is it? How did I come up with it? What can you expect in it? How can you subscribe and listen to it? How can you help me grow it? What is my end game with it? Listen to find out.  ___________________________________________________________...

All the ins and outs about this including how to join are said in the first few minutes of the episode.  The main aim of this episode, though, is to show you some essential functional language you may employ during speaking parts of exams suc...

In this admittedly rather depressing series I talk to my friends who live in different parts of the world to tell us about how the coronavirus crisis is being tackled in their country and how this situation is personality affecting their lives. This series has a form of mini interviews which are about 8-10 minutes long and there will be more parts to follow.  Part 1 features Alexander from Russia,...

In this slightly depressing "rantlike" episode I give you all reasons why I decided to go back to the Czech Republic, and also my thoughts on the coronavirus disease. 

In this episode I speak to Fatme who is a bit shy, but lovely and funny student of mine. She is bilingual in Bulgarian and Turkish and can speak 5 languages in total.   We talk about those languages and how she acquired them, Luke's English Podcast, the Koronavirus, our English classes, and Fatme's Passion for Boxing and Kickboxing. _________________________________________________________________...

In this episode I talk to my ex-student Diana from Mexico. I taught Diana for about 5 months in total so it felt very fitting to finish off her English study adventures here in the UK with an interview for Zdenek's English Podcast. The interview revolves around three main topics. Diana's professional life as a journalist, her home country Mexico, and our lessons and Diana's unreserved love for my...

This episode has 2 parts. In the first part, I go through some mistakes I made in the previous episode and clarify potential sticking points. Part 2 is devoted to the topic of reporting verbs. It is done in a for of an exercise. In fact, you will have a unique chance to listen to an exercise I prepared for my upper intermediate students this week. I thought, I might as well make an episode of it....

This episode follows unit 12 from book called "English for Everyone English Idioms: Learn and practise common idioms and expressions". Using my own fun examples, I go through 20 selected idioms about emotions. Disclaimer: This episode is unedited.

In this episode I talk to my Czech friend Diana who has been living in the UK for more than 10 years. Throughout the episode I express my great admiration for her English and specifically accent. Her learning story is truly an inspiring one. How did she manage to get her English to such level? How come she now has such an amazing accent? What has been her journey here in the UK? Listen to find out...

This episode was recorded during one of my English classes, namely the intermediate class. This was the first time I'd had a Spanish guest on the podcast and we decided to talk about English stereotypes. We dealt with timekeeping, food, drinks and others trying to offer a balanced view of positive and negative ones.
