English Podcast For Learning English | How to Talk About Yesterday | Past Tense English Conversation
How do you talk about yesterday in English when nothing particularly exciting happened?
Join Anna and Jake on the English Leap Podcast for a calm, natural English conversation about describing your day, sharing everyday stories, and keeping a conversation going.
From a family photo that didn’t go quite as planned to a bread-making adventure interrupted by a smoke alarm, you’ll discover how ordinary moments can give you plenty to talk about.
In this B2–C1 episode, you’ll practice talking about past experiences, explaining changes of plan, adding interesting details, and asking natural follow-up questions. You’ll also hear how to move beyond short answers like “Nothing much” without feeling that you need an impressive story.
Our Word Tour explores five useful words from the conversation: mundane, recount, vivid, tangent, and hindsight—with clear meanings and examples.
In Say It Better, you’ll practice these natural expressions:
• “It was one of those days.”
• “I ended up…”
• “Long story short…”
• “It was a bit of a blur.”
• “I didn’t get around to it.”
🎧 Use this episode for:
• English listening practice
• Past tense conversation practice
• B2–C1 vocabulary
• Everyday English expressions
• Speaking and shadowing practice
• Learning how to tell a story in English
💬 Your English practice starts in the comments:
What’s one small moment you remember from yesterday, and how did you feel?
Start with “Yesterday, I…” and write one or two sentences. Take a moment to gather your thoughts in English, choose your words, and share your experience. Writing your comment is another chance to use what you’re learning.
Your story doesn’t need to be extraordinary. We’d love to hear a little about your ordinary day.
❤️ Did Anna and Jake make you smile? Like the episode so we can count the smiles.
