English Podcast B1-B2 Speak with Leo and Maya

You don't need more vocabulary to speak English fluently — you need the right phrases. In this English podcast for B1–B2 learners, Leo and Maya explain why native speakers don't build sentences word by word, and show you the common English phrases (chunks) they use in every easy English conversation.Leo's vocabulary app says he knows 3,000 English words… but when a barista asks "How's your day going?", his mind goes blank. Maya shows him the secret: native speakers use ready-made phrases like "make a decision", "to be honest" and "I'm running late". Then they play a funny game, "Correct… But Strange!", where Leo says sentences that are grammatically correct but sound a bit off — and Maya gives the natural version.🎧 In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why learning more vocabulary won't make you fluent✅ What chunks and collocations are (do you "make" or "do" a decision?)✅ Common English phrases native speakers use every day✅ Where to find natural English phrases in podcasts, series and conversations✅ A simple 3-phrases-a-day method to improve your speaking✅ 7 useful English expressions, explained with real examples⏱️ Chapters00:00 3,000 Words, Nothing to Say02:45 Make or Do a Decision?05:40 Game: Correct… But Strange!10:08 The 3-Phrases-a-Day Trick13:54 7 Phrases You Can Steal Today📚 Everyday English phrases from this episode:make a decision • take a break • it depends • to be honest • that makes sense • I'm running late • no worries • I'm not sure about that💬 Expressions in the vocabulary review:• my mind goes blank• off the top of my head• it sounds a bit off• it rolls off the tongue• make a point of (doing something)• second nature• I'll meet you halfway✍️ YOUR CHALLENGE: Write one sentence in the comments using a phrase from today's episode!🔔 Subscribe to Learn English with Leo & Maya for new English podcast episodes, easy English conversations and practical vocabulary for B1–B2 learners.
