Last week my wife and I decided to grab a coffee in the evening. We're usually not

nighttime coffee drinkers but we both have a goal of reading more this year so we

headed to a small cozy coffee shop in our neighborhood to hang out and

do some reading together. We ordered our drinks and sat down at a table near the back and enjoyed the nice and comfortable ambience of the cafe.

Now just as we were settling in, a young woman walked in and sat down at the table next to

us and I couldn't help but notice her and for some reason she looked so familiar but I just

couldn't place where I knew her from. I thought maybe she was one of my past students or maybe

she worked at a restaurant that I had been to or something like that. I thought

about it for a moment but couldn't come up with anything so I just

shrugged it off and went back to my coffee and my book. After a few minutes a man

came in and joined her. He sat down beside her and they started talking and then suddenly it clicked. I was able to put two and two together and I realized where I knew them from. They were two contestants from a popular

dating show that my wife and I are watching currently. My name's Andrew and this is

Bonus episode 36 of the Culeps English podcast.

Today I'm going to tell you the story about my chance encounter with the TV couple and then a little on, I'm going to teach you about a useful idiomatic expression

that you'll hear me use in this episode.

So keep your ears open and see if you can find it while you're listening.

There's a totally free interactive transcript that accompanies this episode.

Following along with the transcript while you listen is a wonderful way to learn with

Kulips and I highly recommend that you try it out. To study with the

transcript just follow the link in the description or visit our website

So back to the story about my run-in with the contestants from the dating reality show.
