About English with Dane

Hey, I'm Dane. I grew up bilingual and after 15 years of teaching and working with English learners, I've realised that true fluency comes from understanding how the language fits into real life.

I thought it would be interesting to explore some of these differences, specifically around work. I think there's a fundamental difference in philosophy when it comes to this topic and understanding where it comes from gives us a good idea of how we can navigate it. + We'll explore how the idea of "The American Dream" really...

Strange News: The Man Who Used an Eel to Cure Constipation

Published 10 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So people on the social platform Sina Weibo poked fun at both men. Se metieron con ellos un poco. This is not only a bit insane, but aren't eels endangered? Yes. I looked it up, and yes. At least from the data that I found. Apparently, China is one of the world's largest producers and consumers of eel, and recent research found that more than 99% of the eels consumed globally belong to threatened species, with consumption heavily concentrated in East Asia, especially China, Japan, and South Korea.
