10 Festive Winter Christmas Phrasal Verbs

hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy today i’ve got a video

for you it’s a festive one as you can

tell by my mistletoe jumper it’s all

about ten festive idioms no they’re not

idioms ten festive phrasal verbs if

you’re not watching at Christmastime

don’t worry these are phrasal verbs that

can be used at any time of the year but

I thought it would be nice to give some

festive context before we get started I

would just like to thank my sponsor of

today’s video it is lingo de and oh my

god they have got such a treat for you

with the lingo de

language marathon I’m going to briefly

introduce it now but there will be full

details of exactly how to enter at the

end of the video lingo does an online

language academy it provides lessons

with real native qualified teachers you

can learn English Spanish French and

German but the language marathon is what

we want to talk about today you can

basically get 567 euros worth of

language lessons that’s one hour every

single day for three months the first

three months of January for free and

that could take you up an entire english

level this is a completely limited offer

it closes on the 28th of January and

there are very limited places French and

German are now closed so if you want

English you need to hurry for full

information on how to enter you can

click on this time of the video here

that’s when I will be explaining

everything let’s get started with the

lesson

so the first festive phrasal verb is to

look forward to to look forward to and

this means to be excited or pleased

about something that is going to happen

so I am really looking forward to eating

Brussels sprouts on Christmas Day if you

don’t know what Brussels sprouts are

they are tiny green cabbage like things

on any day apart from Christmas I find

them disgusting but on Christmas Day

they are the most delicious thing known

to mankind

I will eat hundreds of them so yeah I’m

really looking forward to eating

Brussels sprout number two to put up I

have already put up all of my

decorations I have already put up all of

my decorations to put up in this context

means to fix something to a wall or to a

post so we put up our decorations number

three to put off to put off

I regret putting off buying presents

this year because now tonight I have to

go and buy them all so in this context

to put off means to postpone doing

something that you don’t really want to

do I love buying presents if I already

have a great idea but this year I found

it so difficult to think of things to

buy people normally I have so many ideas

but this year has been a bit busy and I

found it really difficult so I’ve put

off buying the presents for days and

days and days and now is literally my

last chance

so after filming this video I’m going

Christmas shopping to wrap up today I’m

going to talk about two meanings of to

wrap up the first one is the more

obvious one to wrap up presents to cover

presence in paper I always wrap my

presence up in brown paper and white

string because I think it’s really

traditional and I think there’s nothing

more exciting than receiving a package

that’s in brown paper brown paper

packages tied up with string it’s Lucy

von trapp the other meaning is to to

wrap up warm to dress in warm clothes

that’s a very wintery phrasal verb every

time I leave the house at the moment

it’s so cold I have to wrap up warm in a

coat and a scarf now number five let’s

talk about Christmas Eve the 24th of

December and the traditions that my

family and I have on Christmas Eve I

like to go out I like to go out so I

normally go out to the pub with all of

my friends in my village to go out in

this context means to leave the house to

attend a social event my family however

prefer to stay in to stay in they prefer

to remain indoors number seven to end up

so my friends and I after going to the

pub we usually

end up in another local town and this is

the town where I went to school to end

up in this context means to finally be

in a place or situation we always start

off in my village but we end up in the

neighboring town and that brings me on

to my next point number 8 to bump into

to bump into I always bump into people

that I haven’t seen in 10 years people

that I used to go to school with I bump

into them in this neighboring town to

bump into somebody is to meet somebody

that you know without expecting to meet

them and it’s one of my favorite

traditions because you see these people

that you you only see them once a year

on Christmas Eve when you all go out to

that town and then you don’t see each

other for a year so every year we update

each other remember two Christmases ago

I told everyone yeah started this

YouTube channel and then the year after

that yeah we hit a hundred thousand

subscribers and then this year I get to

tell them all that it’s still going well

and I love hearing what they’re up to as

well because they’ve taken more

traditional career paths and sometimes I

feel quite envious now let’s move back

to Christmas Day number nine is to fall

out with and this is a Christmas

tradition it’s traditional to fall out

with your family not really in my family

we get on quite well but in general

people fall out and to fall out with

somebody is to fight argue or disagree

with somebody and then for a period of

time be a little bit unfriendly but

don’t worry it’s also a Christmas

tradition to make up as well so number

10 is to make up and to make up is to

forgive each other and be friendly after

a disagreement alright guys those were

the 10 phrasal verbs and now I’m going

to explain to you exactly how to enter

into the lingo de language marathon and

this is a last call for the lingo de

language marathon I mentioned it in a

previous video

those of you have signed up and this is

your last chance right now so lingo de

is an online language academy I work

with them loads I absolutely love the

company I really really do and they’ve

set up

really cool campaign called the lingo de

language marathon if you want to

participate in this hurry because places

are extremely limited French and German

have closed the closing date is the 28th

for December but I wouldn’t wait till

then if I were you I would go for it as

soon as you can starting on the first of

January 2018 for the first three months

of 2018 every single day you can do a

1-hour lingo to language class in very

very small groups with real native

qualified teachers for free what’s the

catch well you commit to paying for

those three months of language lessons

but if you complete every single lesson

lingotto refunds the whole lot back to

you so it’s extremely important to only

sign up if you are completely committed

the people who have signed up already

really need and want this opportunity

and they’re completely dedicated to

completing this marathon so bear that in

mind you do need to complete every

single day but the first question I are

still in goethe when they told me this

was what if we miss one day well they’ve

generously given an extra day of give so

if you’re ill or you have family

commitments technically you could do two

lessons on a Monday nothing on a Tuesday

two on a Wednesday

for example the full language marathon

is 189 euros every month for three

months that’s 567 euros in total at the

end of the three months if you’ve

completed all of the day’s those 565

euros are refunded back to you if you

don’t feel like you can commit to that

entire language marathon you can also do

the half marathon that is 99 euros per

month for three months and if you

complete every day in the half marathon

then then goda will refund 50% back to

you so that’s a really viable option for

some people too lingo to have very

generously taken away the signup fee

from my subscribers it was going to be 5

euros but now all they need is 50 cents

make sure you claim this by clicking on

the link in the description box and

using my code marathon 3 signups closed

on the 28th of December you won’t be

charged until the 30th of December

before then you can cancel but

afterwards you will have committed to

those 3 months of language learning it’s

an incredible opportunity you have

chance to have hours and hours and hours

of really high-quality English language

lessons for free if you participate

correctly right that’s it from you guys

I hope you enjoyed the lesson and to
