Hello.

0:01

What did you do

0:05

last weekend?

0:07

Was it exciting,

0:12

boring,

0:14

interesting?

0:15

I am going to tell you

0:20

about my weekend. First, slowly.

0:26

Then,

0:28

normally.

0:30

Learning English doesn't have to be

0:34

difficult or complicated.

0:38

It can be

0:40

easy.

0:41

Over the weekend,

0:44

I took the bus

0:47

to my parents' house, my mom and my dad.

0:55

They both live

0:57

together

0:59

with my little brother,

1:02

Joaquin.

1:04

He edits these videos.

1:08

I decided to visit my parents

1:13

last minute,

1:16

around 4:00 p.m.

1:19

But, at 4:00 p.m.,

1:22

the traffic

1:24

in Mexico City

1:27

is crazy.

1:29

So, I decided to wait

1:33

for the traffic to settle down.

1:38

Traffic never settles down in Mexico

1:43

City,

1:44

but

1:46

around

1:48

8:00 p.m.,

1:50

it's not too crazy

1:54

anymore.

1:56

But, there was still so much traffic. I

2:02

was sat

2:04

in traffic

2:06

for about

2:08

2 hours.

2:10

And then,

2:12

he finally started driving.

2:16

He drove all the way to my hometown,

2:21

where my dad

2:24

picked me up

2:26

in his car.

2:27

He drove his car to the bus station,

2:33

and he picked me up.

2:36

I hopped in,

2:39

and I sat in the front seat

2:43

of the car.

2:45

Not the back seat.

2:48

The front seat.

2:50

>> [laughter and gasps]

2:51

>> Because my mom wasn't there.

2:55

So, I got to sit

2:59

in the front seat.

3:02

>> [laughter]

3:03

>> I was a little hungry

3:06

because I hadn't had

3:11

any dinner

3:13

yet.

3:14

So, my dad drove me to get some

3:20

esquites.

3:21

Esquites have corn,

3:25

mayonnaise,

3:26

lime,

3:28

tajin.

3:29

It's a mixture of good stuff.

3:33

It's the perfect late-night

3:37

snack.

3:39

We bought two esquites.

3:42

One for me,

3:44

and one for my mom.

3:47

And we drove home.

3:51

We ate our esquites

3:55

and we hung out

3:57

listening to music,

4:00

watching videos,

4:03

and the next morning

4:05

we all went to the cafe

4:10

where they sell breakfast,

4:14

coffee.

4:16

You can sit down

4:18

and chat

4:19

with friends or family

4:23

while you eat breakfast.

4:26

I ordered a maple donut

4:30

with bacon.

4:33

Mhm.

4:34

>> [laughter]

4:35

>> That was the perfect combination.

4:40

Maple

4:41

with bacon. So good.

4:45

The donut was fluffy

4:48

and soft,

4:50

but

4:51

crunchy

4:53

on the outside.

4:55

Mhm.

4:56

I also ordered a omelette

5:01

with spinach and I ordered a cappuccino.

5:05

My dad drove us all back home

5:10

and we watched a movie

5:12

called Roommates

5:15

on Netflix.

5:17

It was really good.

5:20

It's one of those movies

5:23

that keeps you

5:25

on your toes.

5:28

Just uh

5:29

waiting for the next thing to happen. It

5:33

wasn't suspenseful

5:36

or scary.

5:38

It was

5:39

just frustrating and just uh

5:42

>> [sighs and gasps]

5:42

>> annoying to see

5:46

how her roommate

5:48

got away with everything

5:51

again and again. But,

5:55

it was really good. Later,

5:57

my dad drove me to my nail appointment.

6:04

As you can see, I got my nails done

6:08

again.

6:10

>> [laughter]

6:11

>> I used to never get my nails done,

6:16

but lately with my videos

6:20

and my rings,

6:22

I really love looking down

6:26

while I'm working

6:28

>> [gasps]

6:29

>> and seeing my nails and saying,

6:34

"Those are cute nails."

6:38

I chatted and I gossiped with the nail

6:42

technician.

6:44

And I loved my nails. Do you like them?

6:50

Same as do you like them?

6:53

But, quickly,

6:55

do you like them?

6:57

I decided on the color pink.

7:01

I don't know if pink is really my color,

7:07

but lately,

7:10

I've been really obsessed

7:13

with pink.

7:14

I just bought a new purse

7:18

with pink

7:20

polka dots.

7:22

These are polka dots.

7:26

>> [snorts and gasps]

7:26

>> So, I thought,

7:28

"I think pink nails

7:31

would go well

7:33

with my new bag."

7:36

You know what I mean?

7:38

That's something I noticed

7:41

I say a lot.

7:44

Native speakers say it a lot.

7:48

Do you know what I mean?

7:51

Kind of to reaffirm

7:54

that you understand.

7:57

So, if I say

7:59

"Yeah, I got

8:01

my pink nails

8:03

because they match my new bag.

8:07

And pink

8:08

is just a pretty color."

8:11

Do you know what I mean?

8:12

You know what I mean?

8:15

Do you know what I mean?

8:19

That's something you could use

8:21

just if you want to make sure

8:24

that somebody understands

8:27

your point,

8:29

your idea.

8:31

You know what I mean?

8:33

After my nail appointment,

8:36

I had some lunch with my mom.

8:40

And I took the bus back to my apartment.

8:45

I took a shower

8:47

and I got ready

8:49

because I had a techno event to go to.

8:56

Just an event

8:58

where they play techno music. I did my

9:03

makeup.

9:05

I put some eye shadow on, some lip

9:09

gloss, and some cute earrings.

9:14

By the way,

9:15

do you want me to make my next video

9:19

about makeup?

9:23

The vocabulary,

9:25

the steps

9:27

in simple English?

9:30

Let me know. I went to the techno event

9:34

and I danced all night.

9:36

And the next morning

9:39

I got breakfast at Toks. Toks is a chain

9:44

of restaurants.

9:46

It's very popular in Mexico.

9:50

Do you have any restaurant chains in

9:54

your country? If so,

9:56

which one is your favorite?

9:59

And why?

10:01

I slept all a day

10:03

and then I went with my sister

10:07

to walk around some cute bazaars

10:12

and markets in Mexico City.

10:15

And I bought

10:17

this necklace.

10:20

It's my favorite flower.

10:23

The jacarandas.

10:24

And they made it a necklace.

10:28

I love it.

10:30

It's my new favorite necklace.

10:33

I also recorded a few videos for the

10:38

week. I worked on my English community.

10:42

And then

10:43

I went to sleep again.

10:47

It was a really special weekend.

10:51

I saw family, friends

10:54

and I spent time with myself. What about

10:58

you?

10:59

What did you do this weekend?

11:03

You know what I mean?

11:06

Try and integrate this phrase into a

11:09

sentence you use today.

11:13

It's a fun phrase to use.

11:16

I think.

11:17

Now, here goes the normal speed.

11:21

So,

11:22

over the weekend I took the bus to my

11:24

parents' house.

11:25

My mom and my dad.

11:28

But my dad was the only one who picked

11:30

me up at the bus station. We chatted in

11:34

the car for a little bit

11:35

and I was a little hungry because I

11:37

hadn't had anything for dinner.

11:41

So, he took me to get some esquites.

11:44

An esquite is a mixture of corn,

11:47

mayonnaise, lime,

11:49

tajín, sometimes cheese,

11:52

but I don't eat that much cheese because

11:55

it's bad for my acne.

11:57

We all hung out, we ate esquites

11:59

together, and we listened to music and

12:03

watched YouTube videos.

12:05

Next day, we went to my favorite cafe in

12:07

my hometown and I ordered the most

12:10

delicious donut. It was a maple donut

12:13

with sprinkles of bacon on top.

12:16

The bacon wasn't too crispy or too

12:19

soggy. It was perfect. And so was the

12:23

donut. The donut was fluffy and soft on

12:25

the inside, but the outer layer was

12:28

crunchy where the maple was.

12:30

It was really good. I also ordered an

12:33

omelet with spinach

12:35

and I had a cappuccino coffee. Then my

12:38

dad drove us home and we watched a movie

12:40

on Netflix called Roommates. It's really

12:43

good, but it just keeps you on your

12:45

toes. It keeps you kind of on the edge

12:47

of your seat because like what's going

12:50

to happen next? What's she going to do

12:52

to her next? It was a little frustrating

12:54

to watch, but really interesting. Then

12:57

my dad drove me to my nail appointment.

13:00

I got my nails done and I chatted and

13:04

gossiped with my nail technician. I got

13:06

pink to match some accessories that I've

13:08

been buying. I just bought this brown

13:10

purse with pink polka dots and I thought

13:13

that my nails would match it perfectly.

13:16

After that, I took my bus back to my

13:18

apartment and I rushed to take a quick

13:20

shower. I did some quick makeup,

13:23

eyeshadow, put on some cute earrings,

13:26

and I head to a techno event with my

13:28

friends.

13:29

We danced all night, and then we had

13:31

breakfast together at Toks.

13:33

It's a chain of restaurants in Mexico

13:35

that's very popular, and I think I

13:37

ordered some enchiladas suizas.

13:40

If you've never had enchiladas suizas

13:41

before, if you ever go to Mexico, you

13:44

need to try them. They're so good. Um

13:46

but I'm curious, do you have any

13:48

restaurant chains in your country? And

13:51

if so, which one is your favorite? It

13:54

was a really fun weekend, and I'm

13:56

curious, what did you do this weekend?
