Hi, I'm Georgiana, and I'm back with a new episode.

I'm here to help you speak English fluently.

If you want to help me, share the podcast with your friends and family.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, get the transcript.

Okay, let's start.

In today's lesson, let's talk about kinship.

That's to say, the relationship between the different members of a family.

Then, through a mini-story lesson, you'll practice vocabulary and, of course, your fluency.

I'll use the question and answer technique to get you involved in the

conversation. By the way, thank you so much for listening wherever you are. If you can,

please write a comment on iTunes. That's how you help me to reach more people. Well, today we're going to talk about family, and in

particular, kinship. Kinship is what we call the relationship between two people from the same

family. For example, father's son, etc. Well, on this subject, I have a confession to make. Sometimes I get so confused with

the kinship of my own family, especially for distant relatives. A relative is a member of your

family, by the way. It can be a bit complicated, but it's not a language issue. It's about always wanting

to define what relationship you have with someone else in your family, especially if you come

from a large family. Today we're going to learn the most fundamental kinship. I recommend that

you listen to this episode several times to better understand and consolidate.

I'll give an example of a family and name each member.

It'll be easier that way.
