The InFluency Podcast

You asked, we answered! In this Q&A, Christina and I answer questions from our Beyond community, Instagram, and YouTube audience. We got questions about pronunciation, fluency, confidence, creativity, and finding your own voice in a second language.

How do you pronounce the -ED ending in English?
In this pronunciation lesson, I'll break down the 3 ways to pronounce -ED endings in English and show you how to know which pronunciation to use.
We'll practice words like:
👉 needed, ended, decided, waited
👉 played, enjoyed, called, loved, cleaned
👉 worked, watched, washed, laughed, asked
You'll also learn what happens to these sounds in connected speech, how to pronounce difficult consonant clusters, and why dropping the final sound can sometimes make it sound like you're using the wrong tense

It's been nearly two years since I last shared a Relocation Diaries episode. In January of 2024, I relocated to Barcelona, Spain with my family. A few months later, my content-marketing director, Christina, moved to Spain, too!
In this video, we share our experiences about how life has been now that we are more settled in the country, what it feels like to integrate into a new country, the challenges we've overcome, and the challenges we're still facing, and of course…updates about my language journey 😉

Have you ever been asked a question in English and suddenly realized you have NO idea how to organize what you want to say?

You know you have thoughts. You know you have opinions. But when it's time to speak, you start thinking about your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, whether you sound smart enough, whether people understand you… and suddenly your point disappears.

In this training, I'll show you how to think faster, organize your ideas, and get to the point when speaking English.

If you tend to overthink, ramble, go on tangents, freeze when someone asks for your opinion, or feel like only a small part of YOU comes out when you speak English, this training is for you.
