Hello everyone and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,
2
a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.
3
I am Maria and you guys, I feel so happy right now.
4
I feel so fulfilled because I just came back from a girl's weekend.
5
So I haven't actually gone away on a girl's weekend with my friends here in Spain for about five years.
6
I usually am always at home with my kids and my family.
7
So this was a really big deal that I went away for the weekend.
8
I have many other friends that are in the same situation as me.
9
We are moms and we rarely go away from our kids because all of our kids are still small.
10
So one of my friends
11
proposed to propose something means to give an idea of something
12
and she said hey why don't we all have a weekend getaway just for ourselves
13
and at first I was like oh that's kind of hard for me to do
14
not just because I would have to organize the weekend here with my family with me not being here
15
but also emotionally being away from my kids but we started planning it and I started getting really excited.
16
So one of my friends has an apartment at a beach town
17
which is about one hour from where we live and she invited us to come to her apartment.
18
It was myself and three of my friends.
19
So since we had a nice place to go that was so close and also free for us,
20
we decided it was a perfect place to go for a getaway.
21
And a getaway is when you
22
go away for maybe just a short trip
23
and it kind of means to escape or to just go away from your normal life just for a little bit.
24
So this girls weekend was definitely a getaway.
25
We left on Saturday morning and we drove there.
26
First, we left all of our things in my friend's apartment,
27
and then we walked to lunch.
28
We went to a nice restaurant, which is known for its seafood.
29
There is lots of seafood
30
restaurants in that area considering it is by the sea and we just had a really nice lunch together.
31
Usually all of us are surrounded by our kids and that makes it hard to have real
32
conversations.
33
So it was really nice just being together and having lots of time to talk.
34
At this lunch we got paella which is a typical dish in Spain which is rice with lots of spices
35
and seafood and shellfish in it.
36
It is really delicious and this one was very good that we had.
37
Now close to that restaurant was a really good place to do a little hike.
38
So there are hiking
39
trails which are along a mountain nearby which is right next to the sea
40
and there was such beautiful views from this hike and we saw many coves.
41
Coves are small beaches which are kind of in a u-shape and these were very small and absolutely beautiful that we saw.
42
There were some which were next to the mountains and really beautiful rocks.
43
The water was crystal clear.
44
Crystal clear means completely clear and it looked really beautiful and blue and green.
45
And some of the views were just breathtaking.
46
Breathtaking means it takes your breath away.
47
You know that feeling when you see something and you're like,
48
get it? the views were breathtaking because it took our breath away.
49
The only thing that I regret about this little hike is
50
that I didn't have my bathing suit with me
51
because I would have really liked to have gotten in the water because the water looked so inviting.
52
It looked so nice and refreshing
53
but none of us had our bathing suits with us so we just hiked along the trail and
54
enjoyed the views.
55
We also sat on a beach for a little while
56
and just relaxed and looked at the sea and just really enjoyed this moment of being together.
57
So after our hike we went back to my friend's apartment and we planned dinner.
58
We decided to cook dinner at her apartment.
59
So first we planned all of the
60
we needed to buy and two of my friends went to the grocery store to buy everything.
61
While they were gone my other friend and I stayed at the apartment and cleaned up and also decorated.
62
decorated means we put decorations up
63
because it was one of my friend's birthdays one of them
64
that had gone to the grocery store so
65
when they came back we had a surprise of the decorations that we had put up for her birthday.
66
She was really surprised when they came in and it just made the whole situation really fun.
67
For dinner, we made roasted chicken and potatoes along with some
68
carrots that had a yogurt feta sauce that my friend made which was delicious and a salad.
69
It was all so good and really fun to make together.
70
I love to cook and I even more like cooking with other people and friends.
71
So this experience of cooking with my friends was really nice and we don't usually do that when we are at home.
72
So it was very special.
73
Before we ate dinner We also had a nice little appetizer of some olives and nuts and things like that.
74
And we really just took our time with dinner and just being together.
75
Many times I like eating meals at home or in a house more than at a restaurant
76
because I just feel like they're more cozy.
77
For dessert, one of my friends made a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday
78
and it was so delicious and a surprise for my friend.
79
This friend makes really good cakes and she makes them a lot.
80
So every time that she makes a cake, I know it is going to be delicious.
81
Now after dinner, we sat there and just talked for probably two more hours
82
And it was really interesting because some of us told stories that the others had never heard before.
83
We told stories of our past, how we grew up.
84
Keep in mind that these friends,
85
we've only been friends for about five years at the most.
86
And so we have had a lot of life before meeting each other,
87
which was really interesting to share with each other.
88
So we talked about all kinds of things.
89
Our past, the way we grew up, old boyfriends that we had, how we met our husbands,
90
and also some other really personal experiences.
91
And this was really nice and really moving and emotional in some ways.
92
Sometimes sharing personal stories with friends can be very moving and really emotional.
93
and it's really nice sometimes to just do that
94
because it's not something maybe that you're thinking about every day
95
but some big important stories you hold inside of you and sometimes it's just good to let those out.
96
So this night was really nice and powerful for all of us.
97
We went to bed really late that night at about 12 30 a.m and the next morning we woke up,
98
made a nice breakfast of eggs and fruit and yogurt and coffee, of course.
99
And then we went on another short hike and ate at another restaurant by the beach.
100
For us, we didn't really need to do much other than just be together and share time together.
101
So soon after that we packed up our stuff and came home.
102
So we were really only gone just one night but it was still
103
long enough to really enjoy our time and disconnect and just have a good time together.
104
I am super thankful for this amazing weekend
105
that I had with my friends and I hope I'm able to do it again soon.
106
I would really love to know if you have had any fun weekends like that or maybe it's not even a weekend.
107
Maybe it is just a night out where you have been able to disconnect from your normal life.
108
So let me know in the comments if you have any fun stories to tell.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
