🎙️ Introduction to High Level Listening Podcast
The script introduces the first season of the High Level Listening podcast, hosted by Cat and Mark, both experienced English language teachers. Cat is American, and Mark is British, providing a unique perspective on language learning. They aim to create advanced listening materials for ESL students, focusing on vocabulary and expressions not typically found in textbooks. The first episode's theme is 'morning routines,' with the intention of presenting a higher level of language than beginner materials. Both hosts share their own morning routines, highlighting differences in American and British English.
🛏️ Morning Routines and Cultural Insights
In this paragraph, the hosts dive deeper into their morning routines, discussing the commonality of lying in bed after waking up and checking phones. They emphasize the natural use of language in their routines, such as making breakfast quickly and the importance of coffee for Cat and tea for Mark. The paragraph highlights the subtle differences in phraseology between American and British English, using the hosts' routines as examples to illustrate these differences.
🍳 Breakfast Making and Language Nuances
The hosts continue to compare their morning routines, focusing on the language used to describe making breakfast. Cat uses the phrase 'whipped up,' implying a quick and informal meal preparation, while Mark uses 'made,' which is more neutral. They discuss the use of 'laid in bed' versus 'stayed in bed,' and the nuances of 'head' as a verb to describe moving towards a location, with Mark noting that as a British person, he might avoid certain Americanisms.
☕️ Coffee, Tea, and British Cultural Practices
This paragraph explores the cultural significance of coffee and tea in the UK and the US. Cat discusses her essential morning coffee ritual, while Mark, representing British habits, prefers tea. They touch on the social aspects of tea and coffee consumption, noting that tea is often the default home beverage in the UK, whereas coffee is more commonly sought outside the home. The hosts also mention the colloquial term 'cupper' used in British English to refer to a cup of tea.
🚪 Heading Out and Phrasal Verb Variations
The paragraph discusses the use of phrasal verbs, particularly 'head out' and 'head off,' in the context of leaving home or a location. Mark explains the British preference for 'head off' or the older term 'pop off,' as opposed to the American 'head out.' The paragraph also touches on the use of 'head in' to mean entering a location. The hosts provide examples of how these verbs can be adapted to convey different meanings.
📧 Checking Emails and Quick Actions
In the final paragraph, the hosts share their actions before leaving the house, such as checking emails. They contrast 'had a quick look' with 'checked my emails,' suggesting the former implies a brief, cursory action, while the latter may imply a more thorough review. The paragraph wraps up with an invitation for feedback and a mention of the resources available on their website, including MP3 versions of the script and transcripts.
🌐 Conclusion and Future Engagement
The conclusion of the script offers a summary of the episode's purpose and an invitation for listener engagement. The hosts express their excitement for the first episode and encourage feedback on the lesson and vocabulary. They also promote the availability of the script and MP3 recordings on their website for further study and announce the next episode's details, promising more cultural insights and language learning opportunities.

all right hello hello everyone welcome
highlevel listeners I'm cat or cat
teacher and I'm Mark or Mark teacher as
well thank you very much for joining uh
we're really glad to have you here for
our first ever season of high Lev
listening live classes and our first
ever episode um we'd like to begin by
introducing ourselves and telling you
who we are my name's Mark I'm from the
UK K uh I'm from just outside of London
about 30 or 45 minutes by train and I've
been a teacher for just over 10 years
now and I'm cat or cat teacher I am the
American Voice on High level listening
um I've been a teacher definitely over a
decade um I don't always like to tell
people that because it makes me feel old
but yeah I've been teaching English as a
second language
since okay we're not even going to guess
the year that I started teaching um
taught in a couple of different
countries students of all levels from
little kids who are learning English for
the first time to adults who want to
work on their conversational skills
business skills Etc and what Mark and I
found over time when teaching all of
these students is that there were just
not enough materials for our highlevel
students our Advanced students could
watch TV or they could you know watch
American movies or TV shows but there
wasn't a lot for them to learn there
wasn't a lot for them to figure out how
to get better conversationally of course
you can watch TV you can watch movies
but there was no one out there breaking
it down to make it easier for students
who are learning English as a second
language
MH well yeah so hopefully with our
combined experience of almost two
decades we hope to create some listening
materials which are full of vocabulary
Advanced phrases Expressions that maybe
only native speakers use or say or maybe
phrases or vocabulary that you don't
often see in textbooks so yeah the first
topic that we're going to present today
is morning routines morning routines are
a very common starting point usually
it's one of the first things you learn
when you learn English as a beginner I
get up I brush my teeth I put on my
clothes and so on we're going to use the
same topic but we're going to give you a
much higher level version where we speak
more quickly we use phrases that native
speakers will probably use to describe
their morning and you'll get to hear
these phrases will explain the ones that
we think are the most useful use ful and
the most interesting and then you'll
have some more expressions and some more
words to know to understand people
talking about their mornings and for you
to use when you talk about your
morning so uh the question we're going
to ask each other and the question we're
going to answer is how was your morning
so cat how was your
morning yeah uh this morning was pretty
standard for me I woke up around 7 am
7ish thanks to my trusty alarm uh hit
snooze of course and laid in bed for a
bit scrolling through my phone
eventually I got up brushed my teeth and
headed straight to the
kitchen I guess I whipped up some toast
and scrambled eggs and poured myself a
fresh cup of coffee can't do without it
after breakfast I took a quick shower
and then got dressed for the day before
heading out I checked my emails one last
time like you gotta and uh that's about
it
really okay awesome uh so for my morning
routine this morning was fairly ordinary
for me woke up around 7 with my alarm
hit snooze as you do then stayed in bed
for a bit scrolling on my phone then I
got up brushed my teeth and went to the
kitchen I made some toast and some
scrambled eggs and had a cup of tea
after eating I had a quick shower and
got PR for work had a quick look at my
emails before I left and that's about it
really all right so kind of our goal
with these new highl listening podcast
episodes we're trying to give you as
much good vocabulary that still sounds
natural in the sentence you can see that
Mark and I actually had very similar
mornings we did lots of things that were
very similar it was a pretty standard
morning for me we both laid in bed
scrolled on our phone for a little bit
we both made some breakfast pretty
quickly I had a cup of coffee in
standard British fashion he had some he
had a cup of tea so we both got dressed
for the day and we wanted to get out of
the house head to work start our day and
we um of course with work we checked our
emails for the last time
so what we tried to do is make sure that
both of us as an American and a British
language speaker that we wanted to show
you that there are some differences in
the language there are some differences
between American English and British
English and it's not just vocabulary
sometimes it's a little bit of the
sentence structure so if you've ever
wondered why you understand more
Americans or more Brits maybe you can
kind of see you can start to see some of
the differences between our phrases so
Mark do you want to just get us started
with kind of how you started your
morning or what was kind of the
beginning of your morning
routine yeah of course um so I'm from
the UK therefore some of the phrases in
my script were more common for British
speakers actually when we made these
scripts I looked at them and I tried to
tweak them or change them a little bit
so they included lots of good British
phrases the first more British phrase
that I said was fairly ordinary fairly
ordinary the sentence this morning was
fairly ordinary for me if you heard
cat's version she said pretty standard
so pretty standard fairly
ordinary pretty in my opinion as a br
British speaker pretty is a bit more
common with American speakers pretty
meaning quite or fairly yeah American
speakers American movies you will hear
that phrase more often there in the UK I
think we say quite or fairly more often
if I said pretty
ordinary something would go off in my
head like that's not me I would say
fairly ordinary quite
ordinary so I said this morning was
fairly ordinary for me cat said this
morning was pretty standard for me these
two phrases have exactly the same
meaning I naturally say fairly and Cat
might naturally say pretty but the
meaning is exactly the
same and we want to mention that both of
these are these are normal mornings it
was a pretty normal morning see there I
am there I go again pretty normal pretty
average pretty
standard and this is just a word that we
often use to kind of mean kind of sort
of barely fairly it kind of means the
same thing but it's very common pretty
standard pretty normal pretty
average these are pretty
common phrases that we use that we use
quite often okay quite often especially
in commonly spoken and just chatting
with friends it's pretty common it's
pretty
common it's fairly common or it's quite
common I feel like as a brip uh if I
have to say pretty or if I try and say
pretty I even americanize my accent a
little bit I say pretty yeah it's pretty
good it's pretty good it's pretty hot
it's pretty nice I have to say pry D
where the t's sound like D's yes like an
American accent like I even have to
change the way I do it to use that word
so I'm sure if I'm talking to my mom
from the UK or if I start talking to my
sister and my British accent really
comes out I will start saying fairly and
quite like it was fairly warm
outside fairly cold and and that makes
sense especially because the word pretty
Pretty P R TT y pretty in an American
accent is pretty almost like a light D D
sound pretty pretty common pretty normal
pretty standard pretty
ordinary so we often I mean I can I can
see why if you do start to use it Mark
that you would use it more with the
American otherwise pretty pretty it
makes me sound like I'm I'm trying to be
British pretty
pretty oh she's
pretty pretty yeah right I've got two
choices in British I can go like really
fullon British and skip the te's and say
pretty pretty e no teas pretty good
pretty boring I have to go like maximum
turn it up to 100 or I say pretty
expensive pretty ordinary and then I
don't know it doesn't feel right it
doesn't feel right so it is more common
in British English and uh it's less
common it's less common in British
English more common in American
English so the next thing that I think
most people do when they first wake up
is actually they just lay in bed for a
bit okay they just lay in bed for a bit
lay in bed for a bit now I'm talking
about something that happened before or
happened this morning so I said I laid
in bed laid in bed for a bit laid in bed
laid in bed for a bit I laid in bed for
a bit I laid in bed for a bit meaning I
didn't get up from bed I didn't get up
from my bed I just was laying
back opening my eyes and for a short
period of time for a few minutes for a
bit I laid in bed for a
bit yeah sure I it's pretty normal for
me first I wake up so I wake up my eyes
open but I don't get up because get up
is off the covers and get out of bed
often I wake up and I don't want to get
out of bed maybe it's cold outside I'm
too comfortable um I usually grab my
phone and I like in the script said uh
what did I say scrolled through my phone
I scrolled through my phone a little bit
so that's me laying in bed in my version
I said stayed in bed cat said laid in
bed laid in bed stayed in bed have
exactly the same meaning uh we might
talk about this later the past tense
laid laid in I said stay in the D the
last word connects with in so it's
Le lein bed also Stayin stayed in bed so
laid in bed for a bit stayed in bed for
a bit we might talk about this later but
it's an example where the last letter
connects to the preposition laid in bed
stayed in bed I just stayed in bed and
scrolled through my phone
you know and it's funny too we don't
actually need an article here um I see a
lot of students saying you know I stayed
in the bed I stayed in my bed um really
just stayed in bed go to bed stayed in
bed laid in bed now laid is the physical
action of laying down and stay is to not
move but they mean the same thing we
didn't move from our bed we just laid in
bed for a bit laid in bed stayed in bed
now I did finally get up at some point I
did finally get up I brushed my
teeth brushed brushed my teeth and
headed straight to the kitchen
now I the more that I speak normally in
my classes I realize that the verb head
I've used this a lot and it usually when
we're talking about heading somewhere we
mean mean going okay get ahead go
ahead do something go straight head
straight head north head south this verb
is very common and it simply means to go
so I headed straight to the kitchen
headed straight to the kitchen straight
to the kitchen so I got up brushed my
teeth H I'm so hungry I headed straight
to the kitchen I didn't stop just went
straight to the kitchen
headed also a more American phrase I
think I don't say headed uh in fact I
often think of this phrase in the
question where are you headed where are
you headed where are you going where are
you headed where are you going so to
head to go maybe it's an easier verb
because yeah I go and yesterday I went
now I head yesterday I headed yeah so a
little bit easier but uh again as a
British person I probably wouldn't say
that okay I would say I got up brushed
my teeth and went straight to the
kitchen not the bathroom not the bedroom
straight to the kitchen maybe because
I'm really
hungry um Kat actually got to use a cool
phrase when she talked about
breakfast can you read about what you
yeah I uh I whipped up some toast and
scrambled eggs I whipped up um you know
it's funny we when you whip up something
you think of um kind of making something
very quickly uh you know I'm not really
interested in a recipe right now it
doesn't have to be perfect I'm just GNA
okay I'm just GNA uh yep yep I'm awake
uh sure I'll just put some toast in
there and I'll just do this simple easy
just whip something up okay so I whipped
up some toast I whipped up some toast so
whipped up whipped up whipped up some
toast whipped up some toast and
scrambled
eggs yes uh imagine you open your fridge
and you only have three ingredients and
they're all very random you're hungry
and you need to make something if you
take random different ingredients and
you just put them together and make a
meal you whipped up something so whip up
is speed it's doing it quickly and whip
up sounds like you're not following a
recipe you're just using what you have
in your house at the time so yeah I Just
Whipped something up for lunch it's a
few vegetables and some leftover meat
from yesterday so if you whip something
up we use this in the morning because
often you don't have time to make a
really nice meal you have to wake up get
ready go to work so time is important so
I think that's why we put whipped up
some toast and scrambled
eggs my version was very normal I said I
made some toast and scrambled eggs it
has the same meaning cats one whipped up
scrambled eggs and toast that sounds a
bit f
like she had a bit less time or she was
in more of a hurry so if you whip up
something you're in a hurry maybe in the
morning or maybe yeah some last minute
change to your
schedule uh another British American
example was the next one uh cat what did
you have with your scrambled eggs and
toast I poured myself if even if I don't
eat breakfast I have to have a cup of
coffee whether if I don't have time to
make it at home
then I'll pick it up on my way or I'll
visit the cafe that's really close to
our house so if I poured myself a fresh
cup of coffee so um that's kind of the
act of taking the hot of coffee and
pouring myself so I poured I didn't pour
Mark a cup of coffee I didn't pour my
cats a cup of coffee I poured it for
myself so it's kind of a weird setup
there I poured myself almost sounds like
I poured me into a cup of coffee but I
poured myself a cup of coffee I poured
my friend a cup of coffee so I poured
myself a fresh cup of coffee I need
it I have to have my cup of coffee
Americans are pretty addicted to cups of
coffee in the morning so I poured myself
a fresh cup of coffee and Mark in
typical British fashion had a cup of
tea yes a cup of tea I could also say
poured myself a cup of tea uh I made it
just for me I'm not sharing it I poured
myself a cup of tea another verb that
you can use it with is made
myself I made myself a cup of tea or I
made myself a cup of coffee uh when
you're making food you can also use made
myself maybe I made myself some toast
and scrambled eggs again that is for me
I didn't make enough to feed my or
children or whoever it's just for me I
made a small portion I made myself some
toast I poured myself some coffee I made
myself a cup of tea yes classic British
drink you can drink tea in the morning
in the afternoon in the evening some
people drink tea before bed I think we
have a slight tea addiction of course
there are loads of people who also drink
coffee coffee is super popular in the UK
we have Starbucks we have big coffee
chains but tea uh is still number one
just about us aink British yes very true
uh it's probably something you drink at
home you go in England I think you go
out for coffee or you meet in a coffee
shop um but at home everyone has tea or
tea bags if you have guests you always
offer them a cup of tea or coffee so you
go out if you went out for tea um that's
a a separate meal that's a separate
occasion we usually have tea at home and
coffee when you go out usually i''s
say and you know it's funny to think of
um you know a fresh cup of coffee
most people are separating all three
words cup of coffee but kind of when
we're saying it quite quickly a fresh
Cupa cup of coffee cup of coffee cup of
coffee and I would also I always hear
you because you even have a word for it
Mark right like aa aa oh yeah right so
it's a cup of tea the of becomes uh cup
tea cup tea
of transforms cup te and then we ditched
the third word and then became CER a CER
do you want a copper do you fancy a
copper if you go to a British person's
house and they say do you want a cupper
do you want a cup of tea do you want a
cupper so be ready for that question
because it's not always obvious as Cat
knows and it's not even obvious for me
and I'm I'm an American Native English
speaker and the first time someone
offered me a Cupa and I was like a cup
of what and everyone looked at me like I
was crazy and I said what' you
think yeah rude yeah sorry uh yes
whatever it is a cup of whatever you
want to give me sure but when they're
asking w a Cupa they mean a cup of tea
now that's not as common in the US we
would say hi can I get you a coffee
can I get you a tea so if you were
invited to my house I would be like
would you like a cup of coffee would you
like a cup of tea would you like some
water we'll offer you a refreshment but
it's not always coffee and it's could be
water um it is common to ask them if
they want something to drink would you
like anything to drink can I get you
something to drink but we don't use that
Kaa nearly as often as um they do in the
UK
H okay um yeah later on in the script we
saw another example of the American verb
head head and go yeah but uh C used it
as a phrasal verb instead um can you see
the line yeah so before heading out
before heading out to head out is to
leave hey guys nice party um we're going
to be heading out okay uh yep we're
heading out see you next week okay so
before heading out to head out is to
leave okay so leaving my house leaving
my home before heading out before
heading out oh yeah I quite like that
because Mark would say something a
little bit
different yeah there is a British
version of this uh as the phrasal verb
if I say o look at the time I've got to
head
off cat said head out I would say head
off you even said that in an American
accent head out head out it went
straight up my nose head out and head
off head off head off head off yes right
yeah uh it's a good example where it's a
phrasal verb so there's the verb head
and the second word is called the
particle and that has more meaning head
is go head out out of the building out
of the room so leave um off and out can
mean the same thing when it's a phrasal
verb particle so head out head off there
are a few variations as well some older
British people might say pop off I was
about to pop off
means go in this case off means out so
I've got to pop off sry goodbye um so
yeah we I maybe think the only time
Brits will use head is with this phrasal
verb head off before heading off to work
I checked my emails or before we headed
off we packed our suitcases and checked
our
pockets um one more example
it's a phrasal verb right head off if
you change off you can make it mean
something different again because the
particle has more meaning head in head
in means enter a building so head out is
leave or head off is leave let's head in
let's head into the restaurant or let's
head
into town let's head into the city let's
enter the city let's go into the city so
you can play with that particle and you
can actually make different meanings
with one
word and you can see that it is quite
common for Americans I've I've naturally
used it to say that I headed into the
kitchen I headed straight to the kitchen
so I went to the kitchen I headed
straight to the kitchen I before heading
out before leaving before going out
before going to work before leaving
before heading out I did something else
so I naturally use this twice in here
and it is such a common verb to
replace going doing something going in
going out leaving entering these words
we don't use them as often so if you
want to kind of upgrade your
conversation a little bit start start
using some of these uh phrasal verbs
head in head out head
off yeah uh so the very last lines or
the last line of this script I said uh
had a quick look at my emails I had a
quick look quick look at my
emails quick look so maybe just 30
seconds email okay check check finished
10 seconds 20 seconds I had a quick look
at my emails you can use quick before
lots of verbs I had a quick bite to eat
a quick visit a quick trip uh a quick
look I looked at it just for a few
seconds and then I went to work again in
the morning you don't have a lot of time
to hang around you have to go to be on
time so this is a simple phrase had a
quick look at my
emails and for me while Mark had a quick
look at his emails I checked my emails
now if I'm checking my emails I feel
like I'm spending a little bit more time
looking through them reading them maybe
replying but um I am heading out right
so before heading out I checked my
emails one last time so before heading
out okay I'm just going to make sure let
me check if there's anything
important no it looks okay so I'm G to
head out I'm going to go I'm G to leave
for the day I'm G to get started with my
day outside of the house and uh to end
our lesson today that's about it really
