  Episode 64 : Is Africa Really Getting Bigger? 13.09.2026 32мин

  Have you ever heard about the new UN vote to show Africa at a more accurate size on the world map? At first, the idea that “Africa is getting bigger” sounds almost unbelievable. Is Africa actually expanding? Did its borders change? Or is there something else happening behind the map?In this discussion, we explore the surprising story behind the idea that “Africa is getting bigger.” We talk about latitude and longitude, map projections, the Mercator projection, and why representing our round Earth on a flat map can create major differences in how we perceive the size of different places.We also discuss why Africa can appear much smaller than it really is, whether showing its true size actually makes a practical difference, and how maps can influence the way we understand our world.This is an informal conversation and an English-learning discussion, where I explore the topic while practising my spoken English.Disclaimer:This discussion is a conversation between a human and an AI and is created purely for English-language learning, practice, and general educational conversation purposes.

  Have you ever wondered why a black cat crossing your path is supposed to mean bad luck? Or why breaking a mirror is believed to bring seven years of misfortune? And why does the number 13 make some people uncomfortable enough to skip an entire floor?In this episode, I explore the strange world of bad omens and superstitions.

  Episode 56: Breaking the Fear of Speaking English 15.03.2026 23мин

  In this episode, we explore a nuanced but often overlooked aspect of language learning—the belief systems we carry about our ability to speak English. Many learners focus heavily on grammar and vocabulary, yet the real barrier is often psychological. Fear of making mistakes, self-doubt, and the pressure to sound perfect can stop us from communicating freely.Through personal experience and reflection, this discussion explores how negative beliefs about speaking English develop and how they can slowly be transformed. We talk about the power of repetition, the importance of focusing on communication rather than perfection, and the realization that most English conversations in the world happen between non-native speakers.If you have ever hesitated to speak because you were afraid of making mistakes, this episode will help you rethink what fluency really means and how confidence grows through practice.Join me on my journey to improve my English while I explore self-improvement, mental health, career struggles, and everyday life experiences.

  Episode 51: Reading for Joy, Not Pressure 05.02.2026 22мин

  In this episode, I talk about reading—not as a task or an obligation, but as a deeply human habit. I share my personal experience of growing up with books, especially fiction, and how stories shaped my curiosity, emotions, and way of exploring the world.We discuss the common question, “What should I read?” and why the answer depends on your purpose, not on rules set by others. I also reflect on the difference between fiction and self-help books, and how fiction teaches us important life lessons indirectly, through emotions and imagination.For English learners, this episode offers a gentle reminder: you don’t always have to read English books to improve English. Reading in your native language—fiction or non-fiction—helps build emotional awareness, creativity, and structured thinking, which naturally supports language learning.This episode is an invitation to read with freedom, curiosity, and enjoyment.
