Thanks Lori, didn’t know that ‘procrastination’ was a common term among us.
It was very nice to hear from you ladies, cause sometimes I struggle to get started very important things. It seems like I’m affraid of changing things, annoying
Have a great weekend

Hi Raffy,

Hmmm…I would need more context to have any hope of answering you question. Could you give some example sentences?

Glad you’re enjoying the podcasts. Thanks for letting me know!

lori i have a question over here
what is the difference of “to me” and “for me”
i have this book and it says that using this phrae(to me)is not an american way
it also says that americans tend to say “for me” rather than “to me”

hi lori and mike,
I really enjoyed listening to both of you guys
I love the idea of itchy palm
maybe lori needs to wash her hands. hahaha

and I also like the PERfectionism topic
the other girl was always saying td to find that she tend to find 15 other things to do first than what she’s really supposed to be doing. here’s the thing,
you let yourself find some other things to do if you’re planning to do bad things
like for example, you’re planning to piss off your brother,maybe you can find some household chores before doing that, at least you’re not just going to bad things but also good things by doing house hold chores.

Hi Lori,
I’ve been dying for your new podcasts because they’re so valuable and practical. Love them, please keep it up, Lori. I’ve noticed there were some quite long intervals there. What a pity if you don’t have enough time for all of these enjoyable and relaxing learning podcasts.
Best wishes from a true fan in Saigon, Vietnam.

Hi Lori,
thanks a lot for your wonderful podcasts. I started recommending them to some of my students. I have an idea for a new podcast. I sent you an email, but got no reply yet, so I guess it must be your other time commitments… Have a good day and take care. Jirka from Tjeckien.

What an insightful, practical treatment of a very common problem – perfectionism – among English language learners, English teachers, and many other fine folks on campuses across the world!

This will definitely be added to my next semester’s supplemental materials. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed the podcast, Peter. Procrastination is a real pain in the butt, and there are no quick fixes. But sometimes all you need is that little extra push to get going. Good luck!

Hi Luigi, I checked the file and couldn’t find any problems with it. My only guess is that some kind of connection problem could be giving you trouble if you are trying to stream it in your browser. I suggest you right click on the download link and save the mp3 to your computer. Then you should be able to listen to it in full.

Thank you for your podcast, it’s very useful.
But I found a problem with the audio file because in some
point it is interrupted.
Have a good day,
Luigi
