The Real Life English with Gabby Podcast
Welcome to The Real Life English with Gabby Podcast, the podcast that helps you understand and speak English like a pro! I'm Gabby, your fun and friendly English teacher from NYC.
In this podcast, I teach you real life slang, phrasal verbs and expressions that you need to speak English confidently. In each episode, I share interesting stories that are real-life scenarios in the U.S.A. These stories are full of words and phrases that Americans use every day. After the story, we'll take a closer look at the words, so you not only know them but also feel confident using them in your own conversations.
Real English with Gabby is here to make learning fun and practical. We want to help you speak English like a native speaker and understand what's going on in everyday conversations. Listening to this podcast will help you better understand American TV shows and movies AND will help you understand native speakers in every day conversations.
To make your learning even better, we've got Study Guides for each episode. Each Study Guide comes with the transcript, listening activities, vocabulary definitions and examples and practice activities to help you practice and remember what you've learned.
Subscribe now and get one step closer to speaking English like a native speaker!
