"I postponed the meeting." Correct. "I put off the meeting." Natural. Same meaning, completely different feeling — and that difference is phrasal verbs.
In this episode, Maya and Leo tame the verbs learners fear most: what a phrasal verb really is (a common verb + a small word = a brand new meaning), the one pronoun rule that prevents the classic mistake ("pick it up," never "pick up it"), and a walk through your whole day in phrasal verbs — morning routine, workday, social life. You'll hear the same story told twice (formal vs natural), money verbs, the classic mistakes to delete, a full weekend-trip conversation, the three-a-day learning method, a full-sentence quiz, and where songs and movies quietly teach you more verbs. Plus Nina's sixty-second story — count the phrasal verbs.
