I have a nice list of expressions Fraser, verbs, idioms, which you could use in your daily life and sound more like a native.

These are things which I've written down while I've been living my daily life.

So, for example, whenever I speak to people, I'll take a mental note off.

Perhaps something I've said, or they've said, Andi, I thought, Oh, I'm going to make a video of just some daily expressions I've used in a natural conversation on here they are.

I have a few for you, and I really hope you find them useful.

The first I want to talk about is this expression pan out nicely.

We'd usually say, for example, something has panned out nicely.

So, for example, I could say that I have a new business idea on.

I could say, hopefully things will pan out nicely.

Maybe I have loads of plans for this future business, and I want it to be really successful, So I'm hoping if everything will pan out nicely.

So for something to pan out, it generally means for it to develop in a successful way.

But we often use the word nicely after just to add that extra kind of positive feeling about the expression.

So, for example, things didn't pan out nicely.

That means things didn't go very well, Okay, So usually we'd use this about something which we're doing, which we have plans for or something we did.

Which we had plans for on how it develops.

Does it pan out nicely, or does it not pan out next one pretty common expression here.

There were two options on the menu for something to eat on.

Yes, I'm one of those people who never really cares and make it really difficult for the other person making decisions for me.

So, for example, somebody says to you Oh, what did you think about the football score on the weekend?

I used this in my podcast My episode three where I talk about my working holiday in Australia and I said one thing led to another.

I want you to imagine, for example, let's say you've agreed to help one of your friends.

Let's say you agreed to help one of your friends, um, decorate their living room.

So you help to decorate the living room, maybe move some furniture in on.

Then one thing led to another on you were helping him clean his car.

One thing led to another is like saying I was doing this.

And I don't really want to share the details with you.

I finished off by doing something completely different or I finished off doing this, which is different to that.

So we started by helping our friend move house.

This then led to that this then eventually turned into that one thing, led to another.

I want you to give an example for me of a time where you might use one thing led to another.

Is there a time a story you have for me where you helped someone or you were doing something or you booked a holiday?

Maybe one thing led to another and you were doing something completely different.

Then he came and actually sat down, and we shared a conversation over a coffee with my friend Andi.

Then eventually I said to him, We were talking about E T.

And I said, When you get home, spread the word and that essentially means tell people tell more people.

I mean, I was kind of just telling him, you know, tell more people about E.

Spread the word, Tell more people so you can say to someone Spread the word if you're in a business and you have this new idea again, for example, you could say to all of your team, we need to spread the word fast, and that means we need to tell people.

It's probably in a lot of your languages that expression on what if we want to take things as they come?

I use it a lot, and again, I use this in my podcast.
