Éducation

Fréquence : 1 épisode/7j. Total Éps: 27

Made by two Canadian English teachers for English language learners, join Misha and Larissa as they discuss daily life, life in Canada, and anything else that might come up!

We are two native English speakers having relaxed, unscripted conversations — the kind you might overhear between friends. It’s not a lesson, and we’re not here to speak slowly or perfectly. We’re here to help you get comfortable with real English.

Along the way, you’ll hear natural vocabulary, common expressions, and the rhythm of everyday speech.

New episodes every week.

Small Joys: The Little Things That Make Us Happy

Épisode 26

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 24:00

What little things make you happy?

In this episode of Extra English Podcast, Misha and Larissa talk about the small, everyday joys that can make life feel a little better—from finding a surprise zucchini in the garden to waking up before your alarm, discovering your favourite potato chips, using the “good” fork, finding the perfect pen, and getting an unexpected cool breeze on a hot day.

We also talk about spontaneous visits, hand-me-down clothes, favourite jackets, clean windows, organizing drawers, and why a cool night in late summer can feel so good.

Along the way, we talk about Canadian life, food, weather, gardening, back-to-school season, and the little things that bring us happiness.

As always, this is a natural conversation between two Canadian English teachers. Listen to hear everyday Canadian English spoken at a comfortable pace—and maybe discover a few small joys of your own.

What are the little things that bring YOU joy? We'd love to hear about them!

Our 25th Episode! What We've Liked and Learned Along the Way

Épisode 25

jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:43

25 episodes! 🎉 In this episode, we take a little time to look back at what we've learned since we started Extra English Podcast.

We talk about the challenge of making a podcast that sounds like natural conversation without turning it into a lesson (we're English teachers, after all!), the technical things we've had to learn, and some of the surprising things we've discovered about each other.

We also talk about some of our favourite episodes, including the ones that surprised us, the ones that made us laugh, and the episodes we wish more people had discovered.

Most of all, we talk about why we're enjoying this so much—and where the podcast might go from here. Maybe we'll do it for two years. Maybe six months. Maybe it'll lead to something completely different. We don't know yet!

And yes, our companion app has just launched! If you'd like some extra practice with the English from our podcast, you can check it out through the link below.

Thanks for being part of the Extra English Podcast, EEPers. ❤️ And if you have a favourite episode, we'd love to hear which one it is and why!

Potlucks: A Very Canadian Way to Eat Together

Épisode 24

jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 23:46

What exactly is a potluck, and why are they so popular?

In this episode, we talk about one of our favourite Canadian ways to get together; everyone brings a dish, and together you make a meal! We share stories about potlucks with friends, neighbours, family, and even pre-pandemic classroom potlucks!

We discuss potluck etiquette, dietary restrictions, what to bring, how much food is enough, and why Canadians often find it easier to share the cooking rather than have one person prepare an entire meal.

Misha tells us about her cookbook club, where potlucks become a little more serious and there's maybe a little too much food. (Okay, there is definitely too much food.) And Larissa tells us about a few times when she attended potlucks that didn't quite turn out right but were fun anyway.

You'll hear lots of natural Canadian English and useful vocabulary along the way, including words and phrases related to food, hosting, cooking, dietary restrictions, and social gatherings.

So grab a plate and join us for a delicious conversation about Canadian potlucks!

And stay tuned for the Extra English Podcast app! Launching this Tuesday, Septemeber 1st.

Summer Camp in Canada: Cabins & Campfires

Épisode 23

jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 21:07

What is summer camp like in Canada?

In this episode, Misha and Larissa talk about the Canadian tradition of sleepaway camp. They share their own childhood experiences, including homesickness, bunk beds, camp counselors, swimming, campfires, and all the little traditions that make camp feel like its own world.

They also talk about how summer camp has changed, why some parents are more hesitant to send their children away than they used to be, and the idea of “family camp,” where the whole family goes together.

Along the way, you'll learn lots of useful Canadian English and hear a natural conversation about childhood, parenting, friendships, and life in Canada.

Have you ever been to summer camp? What was it like?

The Chores We Love (and Hate)

Épisode 22

jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 27:01

In this episode of Extra English Podcast, we talk about chores and housework — the jobs we love, the jobs we hate, and the chores that never seem to end!

We talk about vacuuming, sweeping, laundry, garbage and recycling, cleaning bathrooms, yard work, and the realities of keeping a house clean with children around. We also get into some interesting Canadian everyday life, including Repair Cafés, sharing things with neighbours, community recycling programs, and why having a housekeeper is considered a luxury for many people in Canada.

Along the way, you'll hear useful everyday English, such as housework, clutter, and housekeeper, in context. You'll also hear a few expressions that we definitely DON'T recommend using — including “grass vacuum” and “haunted holes”! 😄

If you're learning English, listen for the way we naturally talk about everyday routines, preferences, frustrations, and experiences.

Question for you: What chore do you like — and which one do you absolutely hate?

Let us know in the comments!

The Animals on Canadian Coins, From Beaver to Bear

Épisode 21

jeudi 6 août 2026 • Durée 22:07

Have you ever wondered why Canada has a beaver on the nickel, a caribou on the quarter, a loon on the loonie, and a polar bear on the toonie?

In this episode, we talk about some of Canada's most iconic animals, share funny personal stories, explain where the words loonie and toonie come from, and share plenty of natural English vocabulary along the way.

You'll learn why beavers are more dignified than they might first seem, why the loon's call is considered both beautiful and a little spooky, and which animal each of us thinks should appear on Canada's next coin!

As always, expect natural Canadian English, lots of laughter, and a few moments where we admit we definitely aren't biologists.

🎧 Perfect for intermediate and advanced English learners who want to improve their listening while learning about Canadian culture.

You’ll learn about the kinds of jobs teenagers often have in Canada, what those experiences teach us, and some of the funny (and sometimes challenging!) moments that come with your first job.

Join us for a nostalgic conversation about first paycheques, childhood responsibilities, and the beginning of our working lives!

Leaving Home: Our First Big-City Adventures

Épisode 17

jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:17

What does it feel like to leave the place where you grew up and start over somewhere completely different?

In this episode, we look back on our first experiences living in big cities after growing up in small towns. We talk about the excitement, the surprises, the challenges, and the lessons we learned along the way.

Misha shares the intimidating experiences she had in her first month in Montreal and a few tales from her time living in the Lao capital of Vientiane.

Larissa talks about life in Doha, Qatar, including what it was like driving there and why she always felt much safer than many people expected.

Along the way, we discuss culture shock, feeling out of your comfort zone, becoming more independent, and what it's like to go from being a "big fish in a small pond" to just another person in a much bigger world.

If you're learning English, this episode is full of natural conversation, useful vocabulary, and authentic Canadian English. Whether you've moved across the world or are simply curious about life in other places, we hope you'll enjoy listening.
