| 6/22/26 | 393. History of Football! (English Vocabulary Lesson) | The World Cup is currently underway in North America, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about football, or soccer depending on where you are from. And specifically, we are going to explore the history of the world’s most popular sport. Most people probably think football has always looked more or less the same. Two teams with eleven players. Referees and clear rules. Ninety-minute matches. But that is not true at all. If you travelled back a few hundred years and watched a football match in England, you might not even recognise it as football. In this episode, we are going to explore the development of football. I want to talk about medieval folk football, the British schools that helped create modern rules, and cities like Sheffield that played their own versions of the game. We’ll also look at why football and rugby developed separately, where the word “soccer” actually comes from, and how industrialisation transformed football into a global professional sport watched by billions of people. By the end of this episode, I think you’ll see football very differently. And you will also have learned lots of new English vocabulary!

| 6/15/26 | 392. History of Warsaw (English Vocabulary Lesson) | Today, we’re going to talk about Warsaw. Warsaw is the capital of Poland and one of Europe’s most resilient cities. If you visit Warsaw today, you’ll find a modern and quickly developing European capital. There are skyscrapers, busy shopping streets, trendy cafés, and a growing economy. But history of city is dramatic and tragic. In this episode, I am going to explore the fascinating history of Warsaw. We’ll look at its rise as Poland’s capital, periods of foreign occupation and division, the devastation of World War II, communist rebuilding, and the modern city we see today. And we will learn some new vocabulary and practice our English listening comprehension at the same time!

Do We Live in a Surveillance Society? – Prepositions of Place (English Grammar Lesson) | Grammar Study Pack - https://www.patreon.com/posts/prepositions-of-148657101?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Last year, I was walking on the street back home in the UK, and I started noticing just how many security cameras there were around me. There were cameras on lampposts, cameras in shops, and cameras at train stations, quietly watching people come and go. Once you start looking for them, you see them everywhere…. on the walls, in buildings, and at entrances. What’s interesting is that most of the time, we don’t even notice them. We walk in our cities, shop in stores, and commute at stations without really thinking about how much we’re being watched. Surveillance has become such a normal part of life that it fades into the background. So here’s the question I want you to think about. When you walk in your city, how many cameras do you think are watching you? And do you feel safer because of them? or do they make you feel a little uncomfortable? In today’s episode, we’re going to explore what it really means to live in a surveillance society. We’ll look at the benefits, at the risks, and at the ethical questions surrounding surveillance. At the same time, I’ll help you practise using prepositions of place, in, on, and at, naturally and in real, meaningful context in this episode of Thinking in English Grammar!

| 2/9/26 | 374. Is There an AI Bubble? (English Vocabulary Lesson) | Artificial intelligence is everywhere right now. We use it to write emails, generate images, recommend videos, and even help study English. Some people believe AI will completely change the world, just like the internet did. Others are more sceptical and worry that the excitement has gone too far. Every day on the news, we hear about new AI startups worth billions of dollars, governments investing huge amounts of money, and tech companies racing to become the next AI leader. There is a lot of optimism, but also a lot of hype. Some people are starting to question whether we are we seeing real, long-term growth, or are we living through an AI bubble? In today’s episode of Thinking in English, we’ll explore what an economic bubble really is, look at famous bubbles from history, and ask whether artificial intelligence is following the same pattern or whether this time is different. At the same time, we’ll learn some useful English vocabulary!

| 2/2/26 | 373. What is Code-Switching?: A Guide for English Learners (English Vocabulary Lesson) | Today we’re going to explore a topic that I notice again and again whenever I work with bilingual people, speak with people who are studying a second language, and actually notice inside my own family: code switching. You’ve probably done it yourself. You start a sentence in English, suddenly use a word from your native language, then switch back again. This is a form of code switching and is extremely common. Code switching happens all around the world, in every culture, anywhere multilingual people communicate. So, what exactly is code switching? Why do bilingual and multilingual speakers mix languages like this? Is it a sign that your English is improving? Or could it be something that slows down your progress? In this episode, we’re going to break it down clearly and practically. We’ll look at what code switching is, why people do it, and most importantly how to manage code switching as a language learner!

| 1/26/26 | 372. Does History Repeat Itself? – Prepositions of Time (English Grammar Lesson) | Grammar Study Pack - https://www.patreon.com/posts/prepositions-of-148657101?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link People often say history repeats itself… but does it really? When we look back at the past, certain events feel strangely familiar. Pandemics that spread across the world. Wars that change everything. Economic crashes that seem to happen just when people feel most confident about the future. Even though the details are different, the patterns can feel… repeated. Also, when we talk about history, time matters. Not just what happened, but when it happened. How specific we are, and how we describe time in English. We talk about events in certain centuries, on particular days, and at exact moments that changed the world. So in today’s episode, we’ll do two things. First, I’ll give you a short and clear grammar lesson on prepositions of time: in, on, andat. Then, we’ll explore some big moments from history and ask whether history really does repeat itself. As you listen, pay attention to how I use in, on, and at!

| 1/19/26 | 371. Charles Darwin: Greatest Scientist of All Time? (English Vocabulary Lesson) | In the 19th century, a quiet, curious naturalist named Charles Darwin proposed a theory that went on the shake science, religion, and philosophy. Darwin introduced a new way of thinking about life itself. His theory of evolution by natural selection revealed that every species (humans included) changes over time, adapts to its environment, and shares common ancestors. In today’s episode of Thinking in English, I want to explore the life of Charles Darwin, look closely at his most important discoveries, and discuss how his ideas still influence modern biology. And finally, we’ll discuss a big question: Is Charles Darwin the greatest scientist of all time? And while we are doing this, we’ll practice our English listening comprehension and learn some new English vocabulary!

| 1/12/26 | 370. What is the World’s Oldest Civilisation? (English Vocabulary Lesson) | People love to debate history, especially when it comes to who was first. Last year, I made an episode about the oldest country in the world. I argued that the answer might be San Marino, because it has a long, continuous history as an independent state. And the reaction from listeners was… quite intense! I received comments from people around the world saying things like: “No, Egypt is older!” or “China has been around for thousands of years!” or “What about Iran?”. All of these arguments were interesting. But I think they were also missing something important: a country and a civilisation are not the same thing. So today, instead of talking about the oldest country, we’re asking a deeper question: What is the world’s oldest civilisation? This question is not easy to answer. In fact, it depends on how we define civilisation itself. And historians don’t always agree on that definition. But there is a popular idea called the Cradles of Civilisation. These are places in the world where human societies first grew into complex, organised, urban cultures. So, in today’s episode, we’ll explore these ancient cradles, find out what makes a civilisation, and decide whether there really is one society we can call “the oldest civilisation in the world,” all while learning some new English vocabulary!

| 1/5/26 | 369. History of Australia! (English Vocabulary Lesson) | Australia is a country that many English learners dream of visiting, studying in, or even working in. Its beaches, culture, and cities are famous all over the world. But how much do you really know about the history of this country? In today’s episode, I want to discuss the development of Australia, from the first Aboriginal Australians who arrived tens of thousands of years ago, to the European settlers, the creation of modern Australia, and life today. Along the way, I’ll explain important vocabulary and expressions, so you can improve your listening and speaking skills as we explore the fascinating story of Australia together.
