About
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.

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.

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.
