Author: English Made Simple August 13, 2025 Duration: 9:42

Deadlines don’t have to be stressful! In this episode, I share clear, polite, and professional ways to talk about deadlines at work - whether you’re setting one, asking about one, or running late. I’ll also tell you a funny story about Carlos and his last-minute panic. Plus, practise with me in the 'Repeat After Me' segment.

If you're navigating the complexities of English for a career move, academic studies, or travel, you've found a companion for the journey. The English Made Simple Podcast is hosted by Milena, an online English coach who turns the daunting task of language learning into something far more relatable and engaging. Each episode feels like a conversation with a well-traveled friend who has been through it all. Milena draws from her own experiences, offering a genuine look at the realities-both the triumphs and the funny mishaps-of building a life in a place like Australia as a non-native speaker. This isn't about dry grammar drills; it's about the language as it's used in real situations, from office meetings to casual chats. The podcast focuses on making practical conversations accessible, breaking down the nuances that textbooks often miss. You'll hear personal stories and straightforward advice aimed at building confidence for work, study, and daily life abroad. English Made Simple provides a supportive space where learning feels less like a chore and more like an insightful discovery, all through the accessible format of a weekly podcast.
