Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Mini-Series – Self-Sabotage – Five Speakers from Around The World
So unbelievably grateful to be launching a new series (mini-series) on my podcast over the next five weeks that talks about self-sabotage. What is self-sabotage?

Global Warming is making headlines all over the world. 350 million years ago Antarctica used to be a tropical climate. It... Continue Reading →
Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Vocabulary – Work Conditions & Responsibilities
Welcome to the specials, people! I told you that I would be unleashing a tirade of podcasts/blogs this weekend because I'm a bit backlogged, and so let's kick it off with some vocabulary and a nice excerpt from one of my favorite books about jobs in general.

Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Episode 51 – Pronunciation/Speaking Skills – Content Words
"Content" words carry the most meaning in a sentence so receive more stress.

They carry little meaning so are unstressed. They include articles, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, the verb be,... Continue Reading →
Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Episode 41 – Vocabulary – Homophones
Hello, everyone! I'm now bringing to you some intermediate homophones! Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings. For example, compliment and complement.

Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Episode 40 – Grammar – Present Conditionals (Intermediate)
Welcome back! I'm bringing back a more intermediate form of conditionals today, but this is essentially a review for the majority of you out there who haven't found this podcast on my spotify.

Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Episode 27 – Vocabulary – Cities & Houses
Welcome back to another episode, everyone! You know, teaching British English, as an American teacher, is unbelievably confusing. Blocks of flats would mean "projects" in America.

Why ‘Black Panther’ Could Be The Game-Changer In Asia & The World
When Michael B. Jordan said, "I don't want to live. I want to die like my ancestors did when they jumped off boats into the Atlantic (then pulled the sword out of his chest before falling)," it had a profound effect on me. Michael Johnson, the prolific American sprinter from the 90's, saw pictures at... Continue Reading →
