Upgrade your relationship vocabulary today.

You've been learning for years, but when it's time to speak, your mind just freezes and the words don't come out.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I'm here to help you finally speak out loud.

This is about your voice, your words, your real English.

Today's episode is all about relationships, the words and phrases we use when we talk about meeting people, dating, breaking up or staying in touch.

You will hear lots of expressions that come up in real life and you will practice them with me out loud, just like always.

Before we begin, I want to remind you that my speaking course Say It Out Loud or SIOL is now open for enrolment at siol.pl.

This course is not about memorizing grammar or repeating rules.

It is about speaking.

Every single day you will join my speaking club and you will send me short voice messages for daily feedback and meet other learners who want to train their speaking, not just study English.

It's a complete experience built to get you talking and it really works.

If you are still not sure whether to join, maybe you are worried about your level or is it the right time for you,

There is a short form you can fill in and I will get back to you personally.

We can talk through WhatsApp or have a quick meeting so I can help you decide.

And if you have not seen it yet, make sure to watch the replay of my webinar present not that simple at teacherola.com forward slash simple.

In that session I showed you why even strong learners still make present simple mistakes and how to finally fix them.

So, go to seol.pl and join Say It Out Loud or fill in the form at teacherola.com forward slash course, I mean kurs in Polish, kurs, if you want to talk it through first.

Once again, teacherola.com, ukośnik kurs.

And now, let us dive into today's topic, the language of relationships.

We learn about their lives, what they like, what they do and what kind of people they are.

Other times you just click with someone straight away.

And the conversations feel easy and natural and you find yourself laughing at the same things.

When people hang out, they spend time together doing things like watching movies, chatting in a cafe or going for a walk in the park.

So hanging out is spending time with someone.

Not for any special reason, just because you enjoy being together.

Hang is an irregular verb, so notice the past form is hung.

So once again, hang, hung, hung.

If we start to like someone in a special way, we might go out with them.

This means we start dating or being in a romantic relationship.

Maybe you start seeing each other regularly, going for dinner or just spending more time together.

Before we start dating we might have a crush on someone.

When you have a crush you like someone a lot in a romantic way.

Maybe you think about them all the time, smile when you see them or feel a bit nervous when they talk to you.

If two people in a relationship love each other very much, one might propose to the other.

That means asking the other person to marry them.

Some people plan it carefully, others just do it spontaneously.

But not all relationships last forever.

When we break up with someone we stop being in a romantic relationship.

I think it has to be.

Sometimes people break up because their partner is having an affair.

Having an affair.

That means they are seeing someone else behind their partner's back.

After relationship ends or even when two people stop working together, going to the same school or living in the same town, they sometimes keep in touch.

Keep in touch.

This means they continue to talk, message or meet from time to time.

You might hear someone say, we don't see each other very often, but we keep in touch.

But sometimes people lose touch and they stop talking or seeing each other.

Life gets busy, people move and you just drift apart.

Finally, if you fall out with someone, fall out with someone, it means you have a big argument or fight and it damages your relationship.

Maybe you said something you didn't mean or maybe you disagreed about something important.

I'll say it again.

Nothing can truly take the place of real practice and the best kind of practice will always be an actual conversation with another person.

Still, saying sentences out loud comes very close.

It trains your brain to connect grammar, pronunciation and the natural flow of speech.

So get ready to speak with me, say the words out loud, not just silently in your head, ok?
