How can understanding your English level help you improve?
Maybe you only hear sounds when natives speak. Without subtitles, you're lost. Fast speech, similar sounds, accents, it all blends together. And when you do speak, you hesitate, you overthink every sentence, you worry people don't understand you or that you don't sound natural. It's not a confidence problem. It's a clarity problem.

Hello, Aubrey. How are you? I'm great, Lindsay. How are you today?
Good, Aubrey. I'm curious. Do you often get FOMO? Are you someone that experiences that emotion a lot?
Absolutely. I get FOMO all the time. If I can't go to a party or if I miss out on something, I know I'm missing fun times. I hate it. I would almost rather go somewhere sick.
Yeah.
in order to not miss out really or if I'm too tired I'm like I'm gonna go anyway because I don't want to miss out on all the fun that's so funny and so what is FOMO by the way just in case any I mean I don't I think our listeners all know what it is but just in case yeah it stands for fear of missing out so I get that I get that fear of missing out on something fun if I'm not there
Yes. And Mateus asked a question, which is inspiring this episode today. I'll go ahead and just read the question. Mateus said, I've been hearing the word FOMO a lot lately. Could you help me out with this word? I hope you can make this one crystal clear to me as always. Have a great new year. I'm closing out the year with an All Ears English episode. Mateus, amazing. Sounds like a super fan.
We love that. Mateus has sent in a lot of amazing questions. I loved this one. So we're talking about FOMO today and also YOLO. These are both so common in the States, at least right now, and you should be using them. They've both been common for a couple of years now, right, Aubrey?
Definitely. They've been around for a little while for sure. Guys, hit the follow button if you just like Mateo's love the show. Make sure you make it part of your daily routine. We do do five episodes a week. And so you could almost listen to All Earth's English every day of the week. Almost.
And the other days you can listen to Business English or IELTS Energy.
We've actually scheduled it so that you could technically listen to an episode every day of the week from our brand, from us, right? So Business English is our other show and IELTS Energy is our third podcast. Go and search for those as well.
You can get a new one every day and then you'll never have FOMO. Exactly.
Good stuff. All right. So again, it comes down to fear of missing out. I feel like I used to experience this a little bit more when I was younger than I do now. I feel like it's kind of dissipated for me a little bit.
Interesting. Now you're okay to miss out on things.
Great. I would love to miss out.
I'd love to miss out, please.
It's interesting.
This is written. It's an acronym.
