December 13, 2013 at 3:07 AMGlad you like it! We've been working on a few more easier Upper Intermediate lessons recently to help ease the transition for those of you trying to make the jump.

December 9, 2013 at 1:32 AMHa ha, the "re-up fiasco"! Yes, indeed, I was atoning for my sins of American cultural imperialism. (Well, except that Tom chose the title. Atonement by proxy?)
Anyway, if I may speak for other Americans, the term "walkabout" is widely known in the States as an Australian expression... indeed, well known enough to be fair play for puns!

December 5, 2013 at 5:11 AMStudy more Intermediate lessons (you should have listened to around 100 to be truly ready for Upper Intermediate), but listening to the dialog-only file instead of the whole podcast. Refer to the transcript only when you've already listened to the dialog-only file several times, but are still stuck. Listen to the full Intermediate podcast only as a final (optional) step.
At the same time, seek out easier Upper Intermediate lessons on "daily life" topics. (This is not one of those!)
Good luck!
