Welcome to the All-Eears English podcast, downloaded more than 10 million times. We believe in

connection not perfection with your American hosts Lindsay McMahon the English

coming to you from Boston and New York City, USA. People love to talk about their upcoming weekend. Ask them about it with these

six phrases in English. Hello, Lindsay, how are you?

Hey there Michelle, I'm feeling pretty good today.

I'm excited for the weekend.

Laurent. Thank you so much Laurent that's really it's a really good question. You
