  • Hello. My name's Benjamin, and I want to help you to have a really fun time when you come

  • into an English-speaking country, like England, or America, or Scotland, or Wales, or Ireland.

  • Okay? So we're gonna concentrate on words that help you in social situations. Okay?

  • Whether that's Facebook, asking someone out on a date, or how to answer when someone asks

  • you to join them. Okay? Good.

  • So, Facebook. Love it or hate it, it's a bit like Marmite, huh? Now, you know when it comes

  • to that page and it asks you what you're thinking? Well, one thing you could say, a phrase that

  • might be useful: "To catch up with..." So you could say: "I've been catching up with..."

  • Okay? Past perfect tense. "To catch a film", okay? So, I caught a film. I caught a film

  • with Heath Ledger in it. It was really good. Okay? So we got two uses, here, of "catch".

  • One, it refers to seeing a friend, talking, talking, talking, hearing what they are doing;

  • and another use of "catch" when we are catching a film, catching a play. It means "going to".

  • Okay? So: "catch up", talk or go to, that's the meaning.

  • Now, this is an interesting point, because when you are saying something, when you are

  • talking normally, you talk about the past tense: "I saw a film. I caught a film. I did

  • this. I did that." But when you're on Facebook, you'll probably use the present if you are

  • using a picture. Okay? So, I... "Catching a film with my friend", and I give them a

  • picture of us at the cinema, outside the movie theatre. Okay? So that's just a little thought,

  • when you're using Facebook and you've got a picture,

  • you might want to use the present tense.

  • Now, another little phrase you might put on your Facebook posts:

  • "A night out with Dominic, Jane, Charlotte", and you got a picture of them all having a great time.

  • So: "A night out with..." Or, you could have a fun day.

  • Okay? So a night or a day. Good.

  • Now, we've got "chilling" or "relaxing with". "Chilling", taking it easy. Having a nice

  • time. Okay? Relaxing. "Chilling/relaxing with..." and then again, you have the person's name here,

  • if you want to, if you're that well inclined.

  • Or you could have: "Grabbing a beer with", grab.

  • You could say: "I'm grabbing a beer with", or

  • "Grabbing a quick meal with my mom." Don't do that, by the way.

  • "Burning up the dance floor!" That's when you're really dancing around, got a little picture

  • of that. "Burning", fire. You're fire on the dancefloor, I know.

  • Now, someone's really been enjoying these Facebook posts, they've been messaging you,

  • so you pick up the phone and you're asking them out on a date. "Come along! We're going

  • to the disco tonight." Okay? A lot of these request/invitations, they use "come", okay?

  • "Come along!"

  • "Come out, it will be such good fun. We're going to have a really great time.", "Come

  • out", "Come along!" Okay? They're encouraging ways of saying. Okay?

  • "We're eating at Domino's in-house pizza place. Come join us." Or:

  • "We're eating at the Chicago Rib Shack. Come." Okay? Again: "Join us."

  • "Do you want to come?" if you're going to ask a question. So these are sort of demands:

  • "Do this, do that." If you want to use a question: "Do you want to come?" Okay? Nice and natural.

  • A nice, natural question.

  • Now, imagine someone is asking you, if you don't like that person, you could say: "No.

  • I'd like to stay in, actually. I think I'll just watch the telly, and have a meal. Thanks.

  • See ya." Okay? You don't like them.

  • If you like them, you could say: "Yeah, okay. You can call in at mine... At my house at

  • 8 o'clock." Okay? "Call in", you come to me. You call in.

  • Or, more casual, informal way of saying that, I would say: "Yeah, okay, swing by at mine in half an hour/in 30 minutes."

  • Swing by, come to my house first. I don't want to walk.

  • You come to me. Okay?

  • Or you could say: "Sure. Meet me in the town square at 9 o'clock." So you tell them where

  • you're going to meet them.

  • Okay, great. Just a little reminder: You can meet us by doing the quiz, doing a little

  • recap, remembering what you've learnt about your social life.

  • Do the quiz, it's on the engVid site. If you want to get a bit me of more...

  • A bit more of me, even,

  • my name's Benjamin, do subscribe to my YouTube channel.

  • Thanks. Bye.
