The best episodes start as somebody's question.

Something about English that never quite clicked? Something about life in the US you've always wondered about? Send it over. Leslie reads every message, and listener questions have a habit of turning into full episodes.

Need a nudge?

Things other listeners have asked.

If one of these is your question too, say so. It moves it up the list.

Why do people here ask “how are you?” without waiting for an answer?
What actually happens at a Thanksgiving dinner?
The difference between “I used to” and “I’m used to”
What is small talk for, and how do I survive it?
Tipping — who, when, and how much?
Slang I heard in a show and could not find in a dictionary

She reads all of them

Every message lands in Englishlandpodcast@gmail.com and is read by Leslie herself. No assistant, no auto-reply.

Replies take a little while

One person makes this show. If your note takes a few weeks to get an answer, it isn't because it was ignored.

Your English is fine

Write however you can. Mistakes aren't a problem here. Helping with those is the entire point of the podcast.

While you wait

There's a whole catalog to get through.

Your idea might already be in there. And if it isn't, that's exactly the kind of gap Leslie is looking for.
