Amore - Modi di dire - Trascrizione
Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting English idioms on how to express your romantic feelings for someone.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be listening to some English love idioms, you’ll then hear a short explanation of these expressions.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to a conversation about a frustrating love interest.
So let’s start!
Woman: First you’ll be listening to different ways on how to express how you feel about someone.
Man: I really fancy that girl over there.
Woman: This is an expression to say you are physically attracted to someone. For example:
Man: I’ve fancied Anna for ages. Do you think she’s interested?
Woman: Well, I heard she fancies you too, so why don’t you ask her out?
Man: I’m falling for her.
Woman: This means you are strongly attracted to somebody, and you are falling in love.
Man: I’ve been seeing Anna for 2 months now. I think I’m falling for her.
Woman: Oh my gosh! You’ve finally fallen in love.
Man: I’m head over heels in love!
Woman: This is an expression used to say that you love somebody very much.
Man: I’m not in love, I’m head over heels in love, I can’t sleep, eat….
Woman: Heh, be careful, is she in love with you too?
Man: It’s just a crush.
Woman: This is almost an obsession, and you feel intense love for somebody for a short period of time. Listen to this short conversation
Man: Maybe it’s just a crush, I guess, I don’t really know her that well.
Woman: Well, my colleague has had a crush on George Clooney for years, she collects all his photos, videos all his films, her husband thinks she’s gone mad. It’s not just kids who have crushes.
Woman: Imagine you have met a girl on your 2 week English course, you’ve been dating, but the holiday romance is coming to the end, how do you continue the relationship?
Man: Hi, I’m calling you for some advice.
Woman: What’s up? You sound really down.
Man: I’ve fallen for Elma, do you remember the girl I met on the English course.
Woman: Crikey! I thought it was just a fling. Are you sure you don’t just have a crush? You hardly know her.
Man: No, I feel sick, I’ve got butterflies in my stomach and I can’t eat. I’ve fallen hook, line and sinker.
Woman: Does she feel the same?
Man: Well I know she fancies me, but, I don’t know if she’s head over heels like me.
Woman: But, if she lives in Finland and you live in Italy, how can it possibly work? Are you sure it’s not just a holiday romance, with all the glamour of being away from home?
Man: Gosh, you are so cynical.
Woman: No, Peter, I’m just trying to be realistic, and if you feel this way, you must tell her how you feel.
Man: Okay, I will tonight, as we only have 2 days left here, then what….
Woman: Heh, calm down, have some courage, if it’s meant to be it will be, and you can stay in touch by email until you meet again.
Man: Long distance love. That’s typical of my luck, now I wonder if she’s got a webcam…
Woman: If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic. Thank you for using the EnglishBlog.
