Rich English – Season 1 Episode 3 - How to Remember English Vocabulary
Do you struggle to remember new words is it hard for you to recall a new phrase you think you learned just yesterday? In today's show I'm going to explain to you how you can drastically improve your recall system and implant new vocabulary in your memory, long term. Welcome back to Rich English episode 3.
So what do you do when you're trying to learn new vocabulary? Well, there are many good ways to help you remember your new words and phrases and traditionally people have written them down folded over the paper, written their other language on the other side. If you're like my dad, you might cut up those pieces of paper and use them like mini flashcards. People these days are practising with an application, something like Duolingo.
In this episode I'll talk to you about:
Hooks
Sketchnotes
Mind-mapping
Visualization
Spaced repetition
So, if you want to find out any more information about any of these things you'll find it on my blog https://www.richardhill.cz
Next week: I will be back with another interview to help you better understand business English terms. OK, take care for now, bye-bye.
Richard.

Rich English – Season 1 Episode 2 with Peter Fodor Founder of App Agent
On Rich English today I'm joined by Peter Fodor, the Founder and CEO of App Agent a company that help producers of mobile applications and games to grow their user base and revenues.
In this show we discuss how Peter began learning English and how he continues to improve as well as talk about his business life, starting out with Flow Studio, producing their own mobile games to making the transition into a mobile marketing agency.
In the course of the conversation, you'll hear a few phrases and words I thought you may need explaining. Here they are:
User acquisition and acquiring clients - these are from the verb to acquire meaning - to get. Basically, user acquisition is how you go about finding new users for your application.
Getting into the flow is about becoming used to a particular situation and maybe getting your head in a particular space where you're feeling comfortable and concentrating.
Workflow is the sequence of events or stages that a project might pass through to go from its initial start to completion.
To have many hats really means that you have different roles you might have a role as the owner of a business but at the same time you also might take on a more menial task such as sending out invoices for example. So you could say I have an administrative role or an administrative hat as well as my owner hat.
A worker bee is a person who is doing the detailed work, so it might be somebody in administration or might be somebody in design but worker bees are the people who are carrying out the larger ideas conceived by the boss.
A pool of talent is the number of people who are available in any given sector of business who might be your target to take on as an employee.
Collaborative tools are platforms such as Slack, Trello, Asana or even your Google calendar which is open to other people to view. Basically, any kind of platform where you can work closely with other people in order to further your project.
CV curriculum vitae is a document outlining your education and work/training history and personal interests.
A red flag is a warning.

Rich English
Season 1, Episode 1
Full episode transcription here
Hi welcome to the first episode of Rich English and a chat with Marketa about her business experience and English learning journey.
Before we get into the interview with Marketa I thought I should explain one or two phrases that um myself or Marketa to use in the interview just help you better understand
Further afield and it means places away from the specific location you're in.
Donkey work and heavy lifting meaning the nuts and bolts (there's another phrase for you - it's the details) - carrying out the actual work. You might have a great idea but then who's going to do it, who's going to do the the data inputting, who's going to build physically the website, who's going to put their fingers to the keyboard and do the actual work? That's the donkey work or the heavy lifting.
Down the road - in the future, at a more advanced stage than now.
To cover plenty of bases which means to involve everyone or everything in a situation.
My conversation with Marketa is an interesting one and I'm sure there's a lot to learn so without further ado press play and get on with the showI I hope you enjoy it, I'd love you to leave me a little review and leave me any comments. Of course you can visit my website https://richardhill.cz/ get in touch with me there I'm on Facebook LinkedIn the usual places next week I will be back with an interview with a really interesting guy Peter Fodor who is from a company called App Agent and they help uh companies who are developing applications for mobile phones he his company helps them to market those applications uh that's a really interesting chat and i hope you can join me all right take care for now, bye-bye.
