You, Me & Words: Recent Episodes

Maverick Lingo

This podcast is specifically created for all the English-learners around the world. I want to take you on a journey that is between You, Me and Words so that we can learn as much English as possible together.

I also had to learn English many, many years ago, so I know exactly what it feels like to sit in a corner and feel afraid, ashamed and nervous to say something in English because you are afraid of mistakes and possible embarrassment.

But please don’t worry. I am here to guide you through every single episode so that you can improve your English as you are listening.

Good news

Person B: Really? What is it?

Person A: I got the job that I applied for!

Person B: Oh wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

Person A: Thank you so much! I'm really thrilled about it. It's the perfect opportunity for me and it's going to be a huge step forward in my career.

Person B: I can tell how excited you are, and you should be! This is a huge accomplishment.

Person A: Yes, it definitely is. I can't wait to get started and see what this new job has in store for me.

Person B: You're going to do great. This is just the beginning of all the wonderful things that are going to come your way.

Person A: Thank you for being so supportive. I really appreciate it.

Person B: Of course! You deserve all the happiness and success that comes your way.

Bad/Sad News

Person A: Hey, can we talk?

Person B: Sure, what's up?

Person A: I don't really know how to say this, but I think we need to break up.

Person B: What? Why? Is it something I did?

Person A: No, it's not you. It's just that I don't feel like we're working out. We're just not compatiblein the way that we need to be.

Person B: I can't believe this is happening. I thought everything was going well.

Person A: I know, and it's not an easy decision for me to make. But I think it's for the best.

Person B: How am I supposed to move on from this?

Person A: I don't know. It's going to be hard for both of us, but we'll get through it. We can still be friends, if that's something you want.

Person B: I don't know if I can just be friends with you after this. I need time to process everything.

Person A: I understand. I'm here for you if you need anything. I just want you to know that this isn't about you. It's just about the relationship not working out the way it needs to.

Person B: I appreciate you telling me this, even though it hurts. I guess I'll need some time to think about everything.

Person A: That's understandable. Just know that I'll always care about you and want the best for you, even if we're not together anymore.

Podcast Episode May 25th Season 6, Episode 1 To celebrate season 6 I have actually included the full text of this podcast to this episode. So, feel free to follow the text as I go through this episode so that you can get a visual of all the new words that I want to teach you in today’s episode. The internet is such a prevalent part of our life. The internet is such a pervasivepart of our life. The internet is such a common part of our life. _______ internet is such a prevalent, of our life. You must include the article “the” when you speak about the internet. The Internet. So, the internet is such a prevalent part of our life. It’s everywhere. It’s in our homes, in our schools and even on our phones. Can you even remember life without the internet? Well, I can. When I was a child, the internet was nowhere to be found because we didn’t have much technology during that time. I remember we had a TV and a radio. That’s it. So, when I was a child, the internet was not a pervasive part of our life. Today it is. Now I would like to talk about the preposition ON. Why? Because we use it a lot in sentences that are connected to the internet. For example….is Youtube connected to the internet? Absolutely it is. Now, when I watch videos on Youtube….what am I really doing? I am watching something ON youtube. You see, the preposition on we use here is ON. Right now you are listening to this podcast…where? Most probably ON your phone. Is your phone connected to the internet? Yes, preposition it is. So the preposition is ON. Oh wait….what am I doing right now? I am typing up this text ON my computer. As I am typing up this text, I am listening to my favorite songs ON Youtube. Sometimes when you drive your car, you listen to your favorite music ON the radio. So, let’s review our new words now: Prevalent: Pervasive Don’t forget to use the article THE the internet You watch videos ON youtube. You listen to this podcast ON your phone.
