Welcome to the English we speak with me Neil and me fefei fei we have an expression which means say a person or things name to praise or thank them publicly it's's shout-out.

Shout-out.

What's the context in you?

Well, I've had a really tough year, but I want to give a shout-out to my parents

for all the support they've given me with my new home.

It means I'm praising them publicly.

That's a great example of a shout-out.

It's a way of saying thank you to someone. Your parents deserve your thanks for being amazing

when they helped you decorate your house.

Last week I called up my local radio station to give a shout out to the people in my area who helped me repair

my garden fence.

Yes, I know your fence got damaged in the storm.

Did your neighbours help you with it?

Yes, which is why I gave them a shoutout.

Let's hear some more examples.

My teacher gave me a shoutout in the classroom because I got a high mark in the exam.

I want to give a shout out to the volunteers who raised over a thousand pounds for the children's charity. We will use the money to take the

children on a day out in London. My uncle gave a big shout out on the radio to the

doctor who saved my aunt's life when she choked on her food in the restaurant.

You're listening to the English we speak from BBC Learning English and we're learning shout-out.

Which means mention a person's name to express praise or thank them.

Yes, and I said earlier that it's commonly done publicly or in front of a group of people.
