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

The word comes from Persian and can be translated as my dear, my darling or my beloved.

I chose this song because it has recently gone viral here in Poland, not only because the tune is catchy, but also because Ed Sheeran actually fulfilled a bet with a Polish influencer.

I picked five phrases from the song that are useful, everyday style English, as always here.

Stay till the end because you need to practice with me.

Meet me on the floor tonight.

This is the verb meaning to come together, see each other.

The noun is meeting.

Secondly, on the floor.

On here expresses standing or being on the surface, on a surface or any surface.

Common expressions are on the table, on the desk, on the wall, but also on the balcony, on the bus and on the menu.

Number two, show me how to move like the water.

The basic verb is show in present tense.

Past and past participle, so let's go through the whole list again.

So in past simple, he showed me the way.

And in present perfect, they have shown great support, have shown.

Ask her how to join the group.

Number three, I wanna be nowhere but here with you now.

No one but Anna knew the answer.

Only Anna knew the answer.

I don't care what they say, we can do it our way.

It means doing something in the manner you prefer, regardless of what others think.

If you're not happy with the plan, do it your way.

I wanna be careless and free.

careless careless means not worrying not being cautious not being careful being relaxed sometimes also without regard or thought so it can have neutral or even positive or negative meaning depending on the context for example careless mistake is a mistake that was made due to lack of care but not on purpose

Now, let's move on to the practical part of this episode.

This is fantastic because it teaches you how to get used to your own voice in English, trains the muscles you need for speaking and benefits you on many levels, including your nervous system.

It also helps you automate the phrases, collocations and grammar we've learned today.

Complete the task, but only after finishing this practical part.

And there are many types of practice.

Theory is important, grammar is important, vocabulary is always exciting.

By fluency I mean being able to express yourself freely, to share your thoughts without translating in your head, without pausing, to search for the right words.
