Hey there friends. Imagine this. It's Saturday
morning. No alarm, no rush. Just you, your coffee,
and a little English practice with me.
Sounds like a good plan, right? Today,
we're going to talk about the weekend.
specifically my weekend routine. I'll share my
weekend routine with you and together we'll learn
real life English for everyday conversations.
We'll practice listening, speaking,
and pick up super useful phrases in
vocabulary you can use right away. I'll speak
slowly and clearly so you can listen, repeat,
and really understand everything. This
video will be fun and casual. Think of
it like we're two friends chatting about our
weekends. So, are you ready? Let's get started.
Welcome to my Saturday morning. On weekends, I
like to start my day a little differently than
on weekdays. First of all, I usually sleep in on
Saturday mornings. Sleep in means I sleep longer
in the morning than I usually do on work days. In
other words, I don't set an alarm and I wake up
late. It feels so nice to rest. Repeat after me.
I like to sleep in on Saturdays. Good job. I get
up around 900 a.m. on Saturday, much later than
my weekday 6:30 a.m. wake up. I stretch, yawn,
and say, "Ah, it's the weekend." Next, I make a
cup of coffee. I walk to the kitchen and brew some
fresh coffee. [Music] I love the smell of coffee
in the morning. I might say, "I can't start my day
without my coffee." Do you drink coffee or tea in
the morning? Think about it. While having coffee,
I prepare breakfast. On Saturdays, I often cook a
simple breakfast like scrambled eggs or pancakes.
I might say aloud, "Time for breakfast. Let's
make something yummy." Make breakfast means to
prepare your morning meal. Sometimes I just
have cereal, but often on weekends I treat
myself to a hot breakfast. After breakfast, I
do some light chores around the house. Chores
means the small jobs that we do at home, like
cleaning or organizing. For example, I tidy
up the kitchen. Tidy up means make a place look
neater and more organized. I wash the dishes and
wipe the counter so the kitchen is clean again.
I might also do the laundry on Saturday morning.
Do the laundry means to wash the dirty clothes,
towels, etc. I gather my clothes, put them in
the washing machine, and let it run while I
relax. Repeat. On weekends, I do the laundry.
Great. Now it is Saturday afternoon. This
is time for fun or maybe some small jobs.
My weekends aren't just about housework. I also
go out and enjoy the day. Let's practice speaking
together with a few afternoon scenarios. I will
act out a situation and you try to answer as if
we're talking. Don't be shy. You can speak out
loud. I will stop and give you time to speak. Hi,
it's Emma. The weather is beautiful today,
isn't it? Do you want to join me at the
park? Now it's your turn. How would
you reply? Imagine you do want to go.
You could answer with something like, "Sure,
that sounds great." Or, "Yes, I'd love to go
to the park with you." So, we decided to meet at
the park. When we meet, I say, "I'm so happy you
came. It's a perfect afternoon to hang out at
the park." The phrase hang out means to spend
time in a place or with someone, usually doing
something fun or just chatting. In this case,
hanging out means we'll relax at the park together
without any rush. Maybe we'll sit on a bench and
chat or walk around. At the park, I might ask you,
"What do you want to do?" We could take a walk,
eat something, or just sit and enjoy the sun.
If I ask, "What do you want to do?" How could
you respond? It's your turn to answer. Maybe
you'd say, "Let's take a walk." Or, "How about
we play Frisbee?" Great ideas. I love hearing your
answers. This way you practice speaking English as
if you were really here with me while walking.
I might start a friendly conversation. So,
how was your week? Or do you come to this park
often on weekends? These are common casual
questions when hanging out. You could answer,
"My week was good. Thanks." Or, "Yes, I come here
every Saturday." Feel free to actually answer me.
The more you practice speaking, the more confident
you'll become after I enjoy the park. I usually
have some things to do. Let's say I need to buy
groceries in the afternoon. Groceries means food
and household items from the store. I decide to go
to the supermarket. Now, I will invite you to come
with me. I'm going to the supermarket to do some
grocery shopping. want to come with me? Imagine
your friend asks you this. How do you reply? You
can say yes, I need to buy some things, too. Or,
okay, let's go shopping together. Great. Now we
go to the store. In the supermarket, you'll hear
and use a lot of everyday English. For example,
I might ask, "Do we need a shopping cart or just
a basket?" Or I could say, "I have to pick up some
vegetables for dinner." Pick up in this context
means to get or buy something. While shopping,
I could ask you, "Have you tried this brand
before?" And you can practice answering like, "No,
I haven't. Is it good?" Or, "Yes, I buy it every
week." Let's do a short role play in the store.
H I need to buy milk, eggs, and bread. What's
on your shopping list? Your turn. Name a couple
of things you want to buy. Great. Oh, look. The
fruit is cheaper today. Should we buy some apples?
Your turn. Answer the question. Maybe you said,
"Sure, I love apples." Or, "No thanks. I already
have apples at home." Great job. You're making
active decisions in English. This is exactly how
you build confidence by imagining real situations
and answering in English. After shopping, we have
our bags of food. I can say, "Thanks for coming
with me." Shopping is more fun with a friend.
We can finish with a friendly phrase like see you
later at home. Or if we stay together, I can ask
what do you want to do next. Weekends are also a
time to visit friends or family. Let's practice a
scenario where I visit a friend or a friend visits
me and include you in the conversation. Imagine we
arrive at my friend Sarah's house for a small get
together. I knock on the door. Knock knock. Sarah
opens it. Hi, Emma. Come on in. Oh, you brought a
friend. That's you. Welcome. Now we're at Sarah's
living room chatting. Common questions friends ask
each other on weekends are, "How's your weekend
going?" or "What did you do this morning?" Sarah
might ask you, "How was your morning?" Here you
can practice answering about your morning. For
example, it was good. I slept in and made a nice
breakfast. Great. You just used slept in and made
breakfast just like we learned earlier. While we
are talking, Sarah says, "We are going to watch a
movie later. Do you want to join us?" Then I look
at you and ask, "What do you think? Should we stay
and watch a movie?" Now it's your turn to answer.
Maybe you will reply, "Sure, sounds fun." Or,
"Actually, I have to go soon." If you accept,
great, we'll watch a movie together. If you
decline, you could say something polite like,
"Thanks, but I have other plans tonight." When
we visiting friends, we usually have small
talk. People might discuss how their week was or
what they plan to do on Sunday. If someone asks,
"What are you doing tomorrow?" you can practice
a response like, "Tomorrow I'm just relaxing at
home." Or, "I'm going to visit my family." Try
answering that now. What are you doing tomorrow?
Excellent. Keep practicing answers to simple
questions like these to improve your speaking
fluency. After a busy afternoon, I usually have
a relaxing Saturday evening. Everyone likes to
spend the evening in a different way. I will tell
you about my evening and you can think about your
evening. On Saturday evenings, I typically stay in
and relax. Stay in means I stay at home. I don't
go out on most Saturdays. I might say, "I'm going
to stay in tonight and just chill." To stay in is
the opposite of go out. Going out means leaving
home to do something fun like go to a restaurant
or cinema. Sometimes I do go out with friends, but
often I enjoy a quiet evening after a long week.
One thing I love to do on a Saturday night is cook
dinner at home. For example, I might make pasta
or order a pizza if I'm feeling lazy. Let's say
tonight I decide to cook. I could say tonight I'm
cooking spaghetti bolognese for dinner. What about
you? Do you prefer cooking or ordering food on
weekends? Think about it. After dinner, I usually
wind down for the night. Wind down means to
gradually relax after being busy or stressed. For
me, winding down might include watching a movie or
reading a book. I'll give you an example. After
dinner, I like to wind down by watching a movie
on Netflix. Here, wind down is like saying relax
and slow down. Another casual phrase for relaxing
is chill out. I might say, "I'm just going to
chill out on the couch and watch TV." Chill out
simply means to relax and take it easy. Feel free
to repeat, I'm chilling out at home tonight. Good.
By around 1000 p.m. I feel sleepy. I might say
I'm getting a bit tired now. Finally, I go to bed
around 11 p.m. And that's my Saturday. It was
a simple, relaxing evening. We've reached the
end of our weekend journey together. Now it's your
turn. I challenge you to describe your own weekend
routine in English. You can write it down in the
comments below or practice saying it to yourself.
Try to use some of the vocabulary from today's
lesson like sleep in, hang out, stay in, etc. I'll
be checking the comments and would love to see
how you spend your weekends. Before you go, if you
