We are all human and therefore we all experience pain. So today, learn how to use the word hurt

with three different meanings as it relates to your experience. Hey, Lindsay, how are you?

I'm doing good today. Michelle, excited to be on the mic with you as always. What are we getting

into on the show today? Lindsay, when is the last time you were physically hurt? Oh my gosh. Yesterday, I had some pain in my left hip. It was so random. And then I kind of went away randomly. It appears, oh my gosh. And then went away randomly. So yeah, I don't know. Who knows? It's so weird when that happens. And, you know, I mean, if you're, some people, their mind might go, oh, my gosh, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? And then it's, right? Yep. Yep. Exactly. So, Lindsay, on a recent episode, the word hurt came up and we realized how useful it is and important for our listeners to know how to use it.

So that's what we're going to talk about today, the word hurt. Yeah, I love it. And I want to highlight

a little bonus word that came up just in our little chat there, Michelle, the word catastrophes.

Yeah. Kind of a strange sounding word, but a good one for our listeners to know when you make things

a catastrophe, right? Yeah, when you think like the worst thing is going to happen, you think,

oh, I have my hip hurts, so I'm dying, you know, and I think I think everybody does that to some

extent. We do. And it's gotten so much work because we have, you know, we can go on to, what is it, WebMD. And then it's always like, I have cancer, right? Yes, exactly. I know. That's really. Back in the old days, you just used to wait, maybe make an appointment with a doctor. And then I feel like things could just stay a little more calm in our mind sometimes.

Yes. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. Yep. So getting into the word hurt, but before we get further into it,

I want to remind our listeners, guys, if you love our show, we are all about connection, not perfection.

That means we believe the most important thing we're doing here is not grammar,

it's not vocabulary, it's not pronunciation, it's connection.

So we show you for each episode what this means, what everything we're learning means

for connection and how you can lead a happier life with more connections in English.
