Stop Saying "It Was Good" | Talk About Your Weekend Like a Native Speaker | Easily Speak English

Talk About Your Weekend Like a Native Speaker | 8 Real English Phrases | Easily Speak English A1–B2 Someone asks how was your weekend? And you say good. Fine. Quiet. Nice. And the conversation stops before it even began. But here is what was actually happening inside that weekend. There was the Friday feeling of finally switching off. The Saturday morning where you ended up doing something you were never meant to do. The plan that got cancelled and somehow turned out better than the plan itself. And then Sunday evening that particular weight the Sunday blues arriving quietly just before Monday knocks on the door. All of that happened. And none of it made it into your answer. Today on Easily Speak English Clara and Max give you the English for all of it. The real version. The full version. The version that sounds like someone who actually lived through a weekend and has something real to say about it. We post new episodes every single day on Easily Speak English— so come back tomorrow.
