understanding when other people use it

as well thanks everyone who's here live

Vivian in Canada Jorge in Brazil hello

Sully welcome welcome

Franz glad you're here ELISA in Spain

totally Algeria wonderful voluntary in

Qatar in Vietnam Wow you guys are

awesome are you ready to learn a new

idiom today maybe you have an idea what

it already means maybe you don't I want

to ask you a question first of all hmm

let's see what are you gonna do this

weekend this is a basic question simple

question it's Thursday today so maybe

you already have plans for the weekend

maybe you don't what

are you gonna do this weekend for me I

have no idea what I'm gonna do this

weekend

my plans are up in the air so I want to

know for you what are you gonna do this

weekend maybe you already know maybe you

don't know maybe you have no plans yet

or you think I'll just do whatever I

want to do when the weekend comes what

are you gonna do ah Diana says I'm gonna

work

zuly Rica says I have no idea who shell

says I have no idea - oh yes

so if you have no idea what you're gonna

do this weekend we can use today's idiom

let's say my plans are up in the air up

in the air this means I don't know

there's not a decision yet it is

undecided so let's imagine let's imagine

gravity gravity helps things to go down

to the earth it doesn't usually keep

things up in the air so if something is

up in the air it's it's not certain it's

not fixed it's floating kind of like a

balloon it's floating around it's not

decided so it is up in the air we can

say all right this year my plans are up

in the air let's imagine like a balloon

here whoo my plans are up in the air it

doesn't mean that I actually plan to go

up in the air

I'm gonna go in a hot-air balloon or I'm

to go in an airplane now it doesn't mean

that it means I don't know it's

undecided yet it's undecided which thing

I'm gonna do this weekend a lot of you

have plans that are already decided oh

yes so row says I'm playing in a drama

production at my church this weekend or

Martin Martin hello Martin says I'm

gonna visit my family for Easter uh-huh

Federica - Arika says i'm gonna go to my

sister's for a family get-together so a

lot of you already have a plan so let's

make this negative how can we make this

sentence negative hmm because a lot of

you know what you're gonna do your plans

are not up in the air simple right we

just add the word not my plans are not

up in the air hmm how can we use this

for English

onam has a great sentence that he's

written here it is my plans for learning

English are always up in the air

oh so this means you don't have a clear

path for how you're gonna learn English

you're always trying something and

trying something else it's not decided

you've got a lot of ideas my plans are

always up in the air my plans for

learning English are always up in the

air so you can definitely say that for

for English for any kind of plan my

plans are up in the air

well can we use this for things that are

not plans can we use today's idiom up in

the air up in the earth can we use this

in other situations I think the most

common is to talk about plans my weekend

plans are up in the air my dinner play

hands are up in the air I have no idea

what I'm gonna do it's up in the air

well let's talk about how we can use it

in situations that are not specifically

talking about plans ooh how about if we

used it for a relationship oh I think

that the like Ora and and I were on the

same wavelength here he says our

relationship is up in the air I was also

thinking about relationships we're

thinking the same thing

we can use this for other uncertain

things so let's imagine let's imagine

that you and your boyfriend or your

girlfriend you're talking and it's not

going so well your relationship hasn't

been so steady and when your friend asks

you oh how are things going with your

boyfriend you could say well our

relationship is kind of up in the air

right now we are not certain if we're

going to stay together we're not certain

if it's a steady relationship it's up in

the air so we can imagine this idea of a

balloon it's floating it's not fixed in

one location so we could say our

relationship is kind of and here we can

just add this to make it a little more

uncertain kind of up in the air at the

moment hmm

it means you're not certain and it's a

difficult place to be in so I hope that

your relationship is not up in the air

if it's up in the air talk about it

define your relationship decide what is

happening it makes it easier easier for

your mind easier for them as well

Eduardo asks can we

use sort of up in the air great question

and the answer is definitely yes you can

use that so here we use kind of but kind

of and sort of are the exact same thing

so you can use kind of up in the air and

if you if you use this for your plans

maybe this weekend you have a plan to

visit your family but your husband's

family calls and says oh do you want to

visit us instead or do you want to visit

us too you could say well my weekend

plans are sort of up in the air I told

my family I could come but maybe I could

see you instead it's uncertain so you

can add any kind of word like this

definitely certainly sort of kind of not

you can add these kind of qualifiers to

your expression to make it strong or not

so strong egor says my weekend plans

aren't up in the air I'm gonna study

English a lot beautiful you've got plans

for this weekend

excellent um we have a question about

other types of words that we can add in

front of here we have a question about

my health is up in the air my trip is up

in the air our dinner is up in the air

hmm so in this situation you're talking

about let's talk about health first of

all my health is up in the air this this

is a more general general concept my

health is up in the air we could say

this it's possible and it's

understandable maybe it's not the most

common but it's certainly not wrong to

say my health is up in the air it means

you're not sure if you're healthy you're

not sure if you're not healthy it's

undecide

and let's imagine that you have some

kind of a problem maybe something more

serious

like you have your arm hurts and the

doctor this happened to me in high

school I hurt my arm and the doctor said

you didn't break your arm you pulled a

muscle

well after three months of going to the

doctor another doctor said oh yeah you

just broke your arm you need to cast and

when I got a cast a cast is the hard

thing after I got a cast I felt better

it was perfectly fine so the first

doctor was wrong but at the beginning

when I had the wrong diagnosis I had

some wrist therapy because the doctor

thought that it was a muscle problem not

a bone problem well thank you volleyball

volleyball helped me to break my wrist

in high school don't worry not now but I

can use this expression because we could

say the diagnosis was up in the air and

this means the doctors can't decide they

don't know the diagnosis is up in the

air maybe I maybe I broke my arm

maybe I sprained my arm maybe I pulled a

muscle they're not certain so we could

say the diagnosis the diagnosis is up in

the air if we're going to talk about

dinner I recommend using dinner plans

instead my dinner plans are up in the

air I don't know what I'm gonna do

tonight I don't know what I'm gonna cook

maybe I'll visit friends maybe I'll just

eat a piece of toast my dinner plans are

up in the air

I agree Eduardo Eduardo has a good point

that this expression is better used for

thoughts or

ideas yes something that's not so

physical or concrete and I think that

dinner is a good example for this

because if we add my dinner plans are up

in the air that's great

no problem my decision is up in the air

no problem my trip is up in the air this

is not a physical thing but if we say my

dinner is up in the air then someone

might look oh really

oh is it possible someone might actually

look up in the air if it's a physical

thing so let's keep this I agree with

your point let's keep this to ideas

something that's not quite so concrete

your plans your trip trip is okay my

trip to Turkey is up in the air Oh

cleaning my plan to clean my house is up

in the air my plan to visit you is not

in the air my career plan is still up in

the air oh that's a great word to add

here let's add another word still I

guess I'll use another marker let's add

still ooh when we add still it shows

that you're trying to make a plan my

career plan is still up in the air I

have been trying to plan my career for

the last two years and it's still up in

the air I still have no idea what what

I'm gonna do with my life

oh we have some excellent sentences here

my Christmas dinner plans are up in the

air my plan for Easter is actually still

up in the air thank you for sharing

these sentences my exam results are up

in the air ooh

yes that's similar to the diagnosis

they're not certain they don't know

what the result is actually going to be

it's up an ear and often let me give you

a final a final tip for this expression

often we use this just as a response to

a question if someone says what are you

doing this weekend you could say I don't

know it's up in the air what are you

doing this weekend I don't know it's up

in the air so you can use this just by

itself and I think this is pretty common

in fact this is how this is how I used

it uh last last week maybe two weeks ago

because I went to New York I already

talked about this I think a couple weeks

ago I went to New York at the beginning

of April and a lot of people asked me

what are you doing in New York what are

you gonna do what's your daily plan and

I only had one plan visit my sister

everything else was up in the air so

when someone asked me what are you gonna

do in New York I said it's up in the air

and it doesn't mean my plan is up in the

air I actually did go up in the air up

into the one World Trade Center tower is

beautiful great view so ice

I physically went up in the air but I'm

not sure if our internet connection cut

off or something but we're back okay I

went up in the air but my plan in New

York was up in the air so I just said

it's up in the air what am I gonna do it

is up in the air I have no idea it's up

in the air so I have a final sentence

that I'd like to say with you to help

you use this because there's quite a few

words in this idiom it's up in the air

or just up in the air I want to help you

say this and use it together so let's

say a sentence about English let's say

something together how about my plans

for study in English are not up in the

air my plans for studying English are

not up in the air this is a good

dictation practice try to write exactly

what I'm saying

try to write this exact sentence my

plans for studying English are not up in

the air up in the air and notice we're

not saying the air we're saying the air

I've said that a lot during this lesson

so I hope that it feels comfortable to

you my plans for studying English are

not up in the air Thank You Gabriela you

are the winner the first person to write

this sentence my plans for studying

English are not up in the air and that

means I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna

follow Vanessa's live lessons Tuesday

and Thursday at 9 a.m.

wonderful and maybe you have a podcast

that you love listening to great you

have a plan every day when I Drive to

work I'm gonna listen to that podcast or

maybe you have a speaking partner every

Saturday I'm gonna talk with that

speaking partner your plans are not

undecided your plans are decided they're

certain my plans

for studying English are not up in the

air so let's say this slowly I want you

to repeat with me repeat each word try

to follow my pronunciation and let's say

it together are you ready my plans for

studying English are not up in the air

my plans for studying English are not up

in the air my plans for studying English

are not up in the air really fast my

plans for study in English are not up in

the air whoo all right I hope you had

some pronunciation muscle and speaking

exercise today my recommendation is to

go back and try to read and say out loud

each sentence that uses today's idiom

that I use during our lesson this is

going to give you a broad context some

ideas for how to use this and I hope

that for you you can integrate up in the

air this idiom I hope you can integrate

it into your conversations so instead of

saying I don't know you could say it's

up in the air if you want to say I

haven't decided yet you could say I

don't know it's up in the air if there

are really a lot of situations where you

can use that which dentist are you gonna

go - I don't know it's up in the air

what are you gonna do this weekend I

don't know it's up in the air what are

you gonna eat for dinner I don't know

it's up in the air so I hope you can use

this and integrate it into your

conversations and the next time that you

hear it in a movie or TV show or if I

use it you'll realize

aha I know what that means because I

studied it so thanks for learning with

Vivian 在巴西 Jorge 在巴西你好

Sully 欢迎 欢迎

Franz 很高兴你在这里 ELISA 在西班牙

完全阿尔及利亚 在

卡塔尔的精彩自愿 在越南 哇你们

真棒，你准备好了吗 今天学习一个新的

习语也许你知道

它已经意味着什么也许你不想我

想问你一个问题首先嗯

让我们看看你这个周末要做什么

这是一个基本的问题简单的

问题今天是星期四所以 也许

你已经有了周末的计划

也许

你不知道这个周末你要为

我做什么 你这个周末要做什么

也许你已经知道也许你

不知道也许你还没有计划

或者你认为周末来临时我会做任何我

想做的事

你要做什么啊戴安娜说我会

工作

zuly Rica 说我 不知道

谁说我不知道 - 哦，是的，

所以如果你不知道这个周末你要做什么，

我们可以使用今天的成语，

假设我的计划

悬而未决，这意味着我不知道 不知道

还没有决定，但它还没有

决定，所以让我们想象一下，让我们想象一下

重力，重力有助于物体下落

到地球上，它通常不会让

物体保持在空中，所以如果有什么

东西在空中，那就不确定它

不是 固定它像

气球一样漂浮它在周围漂浮它没有

决定所以它在空中我们可以

说好吧今年我的计划

在空中让我们想象像一个

气球我的计划在空中它

并不意味着我真的打算

升空我要乘坐热气球或者我

现在要乘坐飞机这并不

意味着这意味着我不知道它尚未

决定 然而，我还没有决定

这个周末我要做什么，你们中的很多人

都有已经决定好的计划哦，

是的，所以行 是的

，我这个周末要在我的教堂演出戏剧作品，或者

马丁马丁你好马丁说我

要去拜访我的家人过复活节呃

费德里卡 - 阿里卡说我要去我

姐姐家参加家庭聚会 所以

你们很多人已经有一个计划所以让

我们把这个否定

我的计划还

没有悬而未决 嗯，我们如何将其

用于英语

onam 有一个很棒的句子，他

写在这里，这是我学习

英语的计划总是悬而未决

哦，所以这意味着你没有明确的

道路 关于你将如何学习英语

你总是在尝试一些事情并

尝试其他事情 还没有决定

你有很多想法 我的

计划总是悬而未决 我

学习英语的计划

总是悬而未决 所以你 可以肯定地说，

对于任何计划的英语来说，我的

计划都已完成 in the air

well 我们可以用这个来做

没有计划的事情吗 我们可以用今天的成语吗？

空气 我的晚餐玩耍的

手在空气中 我不

知道我要做什么 它在空气中

很好 让我们谈谈我们如何

在没有专门

讨论计划的情况下使用它 ooh 如果我们

使用 哦，我

认为像奥拉和我

一样在这里他说我们的

关系悬而未决我也在

考虑关系我们正在

考虑同样的事情

我们可以将其用于其他不确定的

事情 所以让我们想象一下，让我们想象

一下，你和你的男朋友或你的

女朋友正在交谈，但

进展并不顺利，你们的关系并

没有那么稳定，当你的朋友问

你哦，你和男朋友的情况如何时，

你可以说我们的

关系为 k ind of up on the

air now 我们不确定我们是否

会在一起

一个位置，所以我们可以说我们的

关系有点，在这里我们

可以添加这个，让它变得更加

不确定，目前在空中，

嗯，

这意味着你不确定，这是一个

很难进入的地方 所以我希望

你的关系不会悬而未决

如果它悬而未决 谈论它

定义你的关系 决定正在

发生的事情 它让

你的思想更容易 对他们来说也更容易

Eduardo 问我们能不能

用起来 空气很好的问题

，答案是肯定的，你可以

使用它，所以在这里我们使用一种，但是

那种和那种是完全相同的东西，

所以你可以在空中使用一种，

如果你把它用于你的 计划

也许这个周末你有计划去

拜访你的家人，但是 你丈夫的

家人打电话说哦，你想来

看看我们还是你也想去

看看我们 你可以说好吧 我的周末

计划有点悬而未决 我告诉

我的家人我可以来 但也许我可以

看到你 它是不确定的，所以你

可以添加任何这样的词，

当然，肯定有点不是，

你可以在

你的表达中添加这些限定词，使其变得强烈或不

那么强烈，例如，我的周末计划

还没有实现 我会好好学习

英语的，你有

这个周末的计划，

很好，嗯，我们有一个关于

其他类型单词的问题，我们可以在

前面添加我们有一个关于

我的健康的问题，我的旅程悬而未决

在空中，我们的晚餐在空中，

嗯，所以在这种情况下，你正在谈论的

让我们先谈谈健康，

我的健康在空中，这

是一个更普遍的一般概念

我们可以说

这是可能的，这是可以

理解的 也许这不是最

常见的，但说我的健康悬而未决当然没有错

，这意味着

你不确定自己是否健康

有

某种问题，可能更

严重，

比如你的手臂受伤了，

医生这发生在我

高中时我的手臂受伤了，医生说

你的手臂没有骨折

，三个月后你拉伤了肌肉 去看

医生 另一位医生说哦，是的，你

刚刚摔断了你的手臂，你需要施法，

当我施法时，施法是

我施法后很难的事情，我感觉好多

了，完全没问题，所以第一个

医生错了，但在 一

开始我的诊断有误，我接受了

一些手腕治疗，因为医生

认为这是肌肉问题而

不是骨骼问题，谢谢排球

排球帮助我在高中时摔断了手腕

，现在不用担心，但我

可以 使用这个表达式，因为我们 可以

说诊断结果悬而未决，

这意味着医生无法确定他们

不知道诊断结果

悬而未决也许我可能摔断了手臂

也许我扭伤了手臂也许我拉伤了

肌肉 不确定，所以我们可以

说

诊断如果我们要谈论

晚餐，诊断悬而未决我建议使用晚餐计划，

而不是我的晚餐

计划悬而未决我不知道今晚我要做什么

我不知道我要做什么

或许我会拜访朋友 或许我只会

吃一片吐司 我的晚餐计划

即将完成

我同意 Eduardo Eduardo 有一个很好的观点

，这个表达方式更适合用于

想法或

想法是的，不是那么

物理或具体的东西，我认为

晚餐就是一个很好的例子，

因为如果我们加上我的晚餐计划

，那很好，

没问题，我的决定悬而未决，

没问题，我的旅行是 在空中，这

不是物理上的事情，但如果我们说我的

晚餐在空中 那么有人

可能会看起来哦，真的

哦，

如果这是一个物理的东西，是否有可能有人实际上会抬头看空气

所以让我们保持这个我同意

你的观点让我们保持这个想法

一些不太具体的东西

你的计划你的旅行还可以 我的

土耳其之行即将举行 哦

打扫我的打扫房子的计划已悬而未决 我

拜访你的计划尚未

举行 我的职业计划仍在进行

中 哦，在这里添加一个很棒的词

让我们 仍然添加另一个词我

想我会使用另一个标记让

我们仍然添加哦，当我们添加仍然时它

表明您正在尝试制定计划我的

职业计划仍然悬而未决我

一直在尝试为我的职业

规划 过去两年，它

仍然悬而未决我仍然不知道

我的生活要做什么

哦，我们这里有一些很棒的句子

我的圣诞晚餐

计划悬而未决我复活节的计划实际上

仍然悬而未决 空中谢谢你分享

这些句子我的考试资源 ults 悬而未决

哦，是的，这类似于诊断

他们不确定他们不

知道结果实际上会是

什么

我们用这个来回答

一个问题，如果有人说你

这个周末在做什么你可以说我不

知道它在空中你

这个周末在做什么我不知道它

在空中所以你 可以单独使用

它，我认为这很常见

，事实上这就是我

上周使用它的方式，也许两周前，

因为我去了纽约，我已经

谈到了这个，我想

几周前我 四月初去了纽约，

很多人问我

你在纽约做什么，

你打算做什么你的日常计划是什么，

我只有一个计划去拜访我的妹妹，

其他的一切都悬而未决，所以

当 有人问我你打算

在纽约做

什么 t 并不意味着我的计划

悬而未决我实际上确实在空中升到

了世界贸易中心一号塔是

美丽的美景所以冰

我在空中升起了但我

不确定我们的互联网是否 连接中断之类的

，但我们回来了，

还好 不知道它

在空中，所以

我想和你说最后一句话来帮助

你使用它，因为

这个成语中有很多词它在空中

或只是在空中我想要 帮助你

说这个并一起使用 所以让我们

说一个关于英语的句子 让我们

一起说点什么 我
