Hello there everyone. My name's Andrew and I'm Cassie. And this is the

Culeps. This is Catch Word, the series for intermediate and advanced English

learners where we teach you idioms, phrasal verbs, and expressions that will help improve your English, listening and speaking.

Joining me today is my co-host Cassie. Hey there, Cassie. Speaking. I'm great Cassie but to be honest with you it was a little cold here in the morning so I turned my

heater on but I think that was a mistake because now in my little recording room here is really hot and stuffy and I kind of feel like I'm sitting in a sauna.

So I might have to go take a break later and turn that heater down.

Sounds good. But actually that's perfect because today we're going to be teaching everyone

two idiomatic expressions that use the word

sweat, although they're not exactly about perspiring. By the way listeners the word

perspiring means sweating.

Sweat is kind of a common basic everyday word and perspiring is that higher level

SAT kind of word that we use to talk about medical conditions mostly.

We'll get to our lesson in just a moment everyone, but don't forget that there is a study guide and transcript for this episode that's

available to all QLips members, and we recommend following along with the guide as you

listen to this lesson today.

And if you're not a member yet, but you want to join,
