Talk About Your Dreams and Goals in English | Podcast for Learning English | Easy English A2–B1

Learn how to talk about your dreams and goals in English in this easy A2–B1 English podcast. Jessie and Alex teach four simple anchors—dream, why, reality, and next step—so you can speak honestly even when your goal is still unfinished. Follow Nora through two dinner conversations. At first, she hides a dream by saying “Nothing special.” After a setback, she learns how to explain what she wants, why it matters, what feels difficult, and the small action she will take next. IN THIS ENGLISH LESSON, YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO: ✓ Talk about a dream or goal naturally ✓ Explain why it matters to you ✓ Describe setbacks without sounding defeated ✓ Say that progress is taking longer than expected ✓ Turn a big goal into one clear next step ✓ Answer difficult questions about timing and uncertainty ✓ Give a complete 45-second answer about your own life USEFUL ENGLISH FROM THIS EPISODE: • “I’m working toward...” • “It matters to me because...” • “It’s taking longer than I expected.” • “I’m not there yet, but I’m still working toward it.” • “I’ve had to change my plan, not my goal.” • “For now, my next step is to...” • “I’m still figuring out the timing.” CHAPTERS 00:00 A dream hidden in an old phone note 01:39 Nora’s first dinner conversation 03:04 What Nora wanted to say 04:10 Dream, goal, and plan 04:57 Explain why it matters 06:30 When a setback changes the story 07:39 Talk about the difficult reality 08:55 How Nora starts again 10:16 Turn a goal into one next step 11:59 Nora’s second dinner conversation 14:16 Answer difficult follow-up questions 14:52 Build your own answer 16:56 Remember these four anchors 17:37 Your 45-second speaking challenge 19:11 The old phone note returns 19:33 Comment practice PRACTISE IN THE COMMENTS Complete these two sentences: “I’m working toward...” “This week, my next step is to...” We’ll actually be reading your answers.
