Real Life English with Camille

In this episode, I talk with my good friend Rogelio from Mexico. When we first met, I was just learning Spanish and he was just learning English, so I’ve always spoken to him in Spanish and he’s answered me in English. Today, Rogelio is an English teacher in Guadalajara, Mexico! 🇲🇽

He shares exactly how he learned English:
✅ Finding his “why” for learning English
✅ Studying on his own with videos, podcasts, and audiobooks
✅ Full immersion during a six-month internship in California
✅ Why you should practice with people whose English is better than yours
✅ His funny “yellow” vs. “jello” pronunciation story

How are you learning English? Do you have a funny pronunciation story? Let me know!

Read and listen to a beginner English short story about Omar’s first day at a new school! 🏫 He feels nervous, meets his new teacher, makes a mistake in math, and makes a new friend at recess.

In this episode, I:
✅ Read the whole story slowly and clearly
✅ Explain the vocabulary, like nervous, locker, recess, and embarrassed
✅ Teach a grammar tip: using “must” when you’re sure (“You must be Omar!”)
✅ Finish with a short comprehension quiz

It’s great for beginner English learners, kids and adults, and anyone practicing their listening and pronunciation. Feel free to pause, rewind, and read along at your own pace. No rush. Learning takes time, and that’s okay! 😊

In this video, my husband and I sit down and share our personal story of why we decided to leave Northern Portugal at an intermediate English Level. 🇵🇹
We talk honestly about what life was like, what made us finally decide to go, and what we've learned from the experience. This one is personal — and we hope it helps anyone going through something similar or thinking about a big life change. We hope to still stay in Portugal and have loved many aspects of living here. 
Have you ever left a place you called home? Tell us your story in the comments.
