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. Visit speakenglishpodcast.com slash podcast.

Okay, let's start. In today's episode, you will learn new expressions in English with the help of the color white.

In fact, with the help of colors, you can say many different things.

It would be great if you could at least understand their meaning.

someone is in a state of great fear or anxiety.
