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
