And today we have another romantic lesson.

We got a boyfriend and a girlfriend and they're apologizing to each other.

Okay, so it's a very common situation and we're going to be talking about love.

We're also going to talk about different pet names that are commonly used in English.

That are used with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

So let's listen to this dialogue for the first time and see what's happening with our couple.

Well, I guess that's my answer, isn't it?

Look, if you don't love me, it's not a thing, all right?

We've had our laughs, but I don't appreciate...

Yeah, I think she really needed to hear that.

So I think she really wanted to hear, I love you.

And there's some interesting phrases here in this dialogue.

And today we're going to focus mostly on phrases.

So why don't we start with Fluency Builder?

Okay, on Fluency Builder today, we are going to take a look at some of these phrases.

And the first one is very important and very different.

So obviously this dialogue is about love.

And we heard two different ways that this word is used.

We all pretty much understand what that means.

But they also mentioned to be in love with someone.

Okay, so what's the difference between to love and to be in love?

To be in love with someone means that you have these strong romantic feelings towards somebody.

So you can only be in love with your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your husband, or your wife.

So you can love your parents, you can love your family, but you can't be in love with them.

You can only be in love with your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife.

Now the girl asked her boyfriend, can we talk?

So you use this when you want to start a conversation about something serious.

So if you wanted to talk to me about my new shirt.

I wouldn't ask, I wouldn't say, Hey Marco, can we talk?

So usually if somebody says, Hey, can we talk?

It means that there's going to be a serious topic.

So if your boyfriend or girlfriend tells you this, well, it's not a good sign.

And the last phrase that we have on Fluency Builder, you know what I mean?

So again, this phrase is very simple to understand, right?

But the interesting thing is that we can also make it a question.

So with this in mind, let's listen to two examples of the same phrase, but with different tones and you try to see which one is the question.
