Responding to recognition

4:00

are

4:00

all good, I hope, or should I be

4:03

worried? Or don't believe a word of it.

4:06

You could also say it's good to put a

4:09

face to the name. This means it's good

4:12

to finally see the person whose name

4:14

I've heard many times. Now, let's say

4:17

you might have met someone before but

4:20

don't remember clearly. You can say, "I

4:23

think our paths have crossed before."

4:25

This phrase is perfect when you vaguely

4:28

recognize someone but aren't entirely

4:30

sure where from. When you cross paths

4:33

with someone or your paths cross, it

4:37

means you've met by chance at some

4:39

point. If you're in a similar social or

4:42

professional circle, you could say, "We

4:46

must move in the same circles." And if

4:48

you're surprised that you haven't met

4:50

sooner, you might add, "I can't believe

4:53

we haven't crossed paths before." So,

4:56

next, you might want to ask someone

4:57

where they're from. You could say, "Are

5:00

you from around here?" And some

5:01

different ways to answer, "Yep,

5:04

Portsmouth, born and bred." Or, "Yep, I

5:07

was born and raised just around the

5:09

corner." These phrases mean you were

5:11

born and grew up in a place. Here are

5:13

some more. Originally, but I've moved

5:16

around a lot. I'm based in Milan at the

5:18

moment. Or I grew up here, but I've been

5:21

living in Belfast
