The English Breakfast ☕
Hi there,
Welcome back to The English Breakfast — the newsletter for Italian professionals who want to feel more confident in English at work.
I hope you’re having a great Easter weekend and you’re overindulging sufficiently in lots of tasty treats. Put that slice of colomba down for a second and get ready for your weekly 5-minute English workout. Let’s get started 🍰 🐣
Exclusive content just for you, English Breakfasters…
If you’re reading this, you already know: English can be tricky.
False friends catch you out. Phrasal verbs make no sense. Idioms? Even worse.
But here’s the good news—sometimes English is a lot closer to Italian than you think.
In fact, some idioms are practically identical 👀
Can you think of any?
Watch this week’s exclusive content to see if yours made the list.

5 essential phrasal verbs with “put”
Speaking of phrasal verbs. Are you ready for your weekly fix?
This time we’re focusing on 5 must-know business English Phrasal verbs that start with “put“.
Can you get them all right?
Struggling to understand native speakers? This is probably why…
It’s not your grammar.
It’s not your vocabulary.
It’s how English is actually spoken.
Native speakers don’t pronounce words clearly one by one. They relax. They connect words. They drop sounds. They speak in patterns.
And if you’ve never learnt those patterns, it can feel like they’re speaking a completely different language.
👉 That’s exactly what my course Understand Real English is designed to fix.
Inside, you’ll learn the real system behind relaxed pronunciation — the patterns native speakers use every day (without even thinking about it).
So instead of trying to catch every word…
you’ll start to recognise sounds, flow, and meaning instantly.
What you’ll get:
45 short, focused lessons to train your ear step by step
Clear video explanations of real spoken English
Interactive listening challenges
Direct support from me whenever you need it
1 month free access to the English Fluency Club
A free eBook: “What Did You Say?” (99 real phrases natives use)
A certificate of completion
Full access anytime, at your own pace
This course is for you if:
You’re at least B2+ but still struggle to follow real conversations
You use English at work and need to understand fast, natural speech
You’ve studied English before… but no one explained why natives are so hard to understand
You want a clear, structured plan to finally fix your listening
Try it risk-free
You’ve got a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Want some free money from the King of England? 👀
You might have to go to Wales…
Every year, the King takes part in a very old Easter tradition where he literally gives money to members of the public.
Sounds strange? It is.
But this 800-year-old ceremony is full of history, symbolism… and some very interesting English vocabulary.
Before you read, here are a few key words to watch out for:
Ancient → very old, with a long history
Ceremony → a formal event with traditions
To commemorate → to remember an important event
Humility → being modest, not thinking you’re better than others
Alms → money or help given to people in need
Well-wishers → people who support or admire someone (often in a crowd)
Your task 📝
As you read the article, try to answer these:
Why does the King give exactly 77 coins?
What is the real meaning behind this tradition? (It’s not just about money…)
Can you find one example of formal or “ceremonial” language?
Read the article below and see what you discover 👇
Then hit reply and tell me your answers!
All right, that’s it for this week’s edition.
Enjoy the long weekend and I’ll see you next time!
All the best,
Dan
