This is Max and Mia Podcast.
2
Hey, everyone.
3
Welcome back to Max and Mia Podcast.
4
Hi there.
5
We're so glad you're here with us today.

And if you're new to the show, welcome.

14
Alright, so today we're diving into something that affects every single one of us.
15
Relationships.
16
Whether it's with your partner, your best friend, your family, or even that colleague you can't seem to get along with.
17
Relationships shape our lives in so many ways.
18
They really do.
19
And here's our hook question for today.
20
If someone asked you for relationship advice in English, could you help them?
21
Hmm.
22
That's actually trickier than it sounds, right?
23
I mean, we all have opinions about relationships, but explaining them clearly in another language,
24
that's a whole different challenge.
25
Exactly.
26
And that's why today's episode is so important.
27
Relationships are something we all deal with.
28
Whether you're trying to figure out why your friend is being distant, navigating a breakup, or just wanting to understand your partner better.
29
And the thing is, these conversations happen all the time.
30
You might be traveling, meeting new people, or even watching a show in English where characters are going through relationship drama.
31
And suddenly you realize, do I actually know how to talk about this stuff?
32
Totally.
33
Plus, relationship vocabulary is everywhere.
34
Think about it.
35
Songs, movies, social media posts, it's one of those topics that crosses all cultures.
36
Everyone can relate to it.
37
Absolutely.
38
And beyond just understanding the words, it's about expressing feelings, giving advice,
39
and really connecting with people on a deeper level.
40
Which is what we're here for.
41
So today, we're going to walk you through the essential vocabulary and phrases you need to talk about relationships confidently in English.
42
We've got a listening activity coming up where you'll hear two friends having a real conversation about relationship advice.
43
But before we jump into that, we need to make sure you're familiar with some key vocabulary that'll pop up in the audio.
44
So let's get into it.
45
All right.
46
First up, we have hit it off.
47
This phrase means to immediately connect with someone or get along really well from the start.
48
Yeah, it's that instant chemistry you feel with someone.
49
Here's an example.
50
Sarah and I hit it off the moment we met at the conference.
51
We talked for hours.
52
Nice.
53
Okay, next one.
54
Grew apart.
55
This is when two people who were once close gradually become distant over time.
56
It's pretty common, actually.
57
It doesn't mean there was a big fight or anything dramatic.
58
People just drift away.
59
For example, Jake and I grew apart after he moved to another city.
60
We just stopped keeping in touch.
61
Exactly.
62
Now, let's look at sort things out.
63
This means to resolve problems or fix issues in a relationship through communication.
64
It's all about working through the tough stuff.
65
For example, my sister and I had a huge argument, but we sat down and sorted things out over coffee.
66
Perfect.
67
And finally, we have work things out, which is really similar to sort things out.
68
It also means to resolve problems, but it can sometimes imply a longer process or more effort involved.
69
Right.
70
Like when things are really complicated.
71
Here's an example.
72
They've been having issues for months, but they're committed to working things out instead of giving up.
73
Great.
74
So those are your four key phrases.
75
Keep them in mind as we listen to this conversation.
76
Hey, thanks for meeting me.
77
I really needed to talk to someone about this whole situation with Chris. Of course.
78
What's going on?
79
You guys seemed fine last week.
80
I know, I know.
81
It's just...
82
I don't know.
83
Things feel different lately.
84
Like, we used to talk about everything, you know?
85
But now it's like we're just going through the motions.
86
Hmm, okay.
87
So when did you start noticing this?
88
I'd say maybe two or three months ago.
89
So at first I thought it was just because we were both busy with work, but I don't know.
90
It feels like more than that now.
91
We've kind of grown apart without me even realizing it was happening.
92
That's tough.
93
Have you tried talking to him about it?
94
That's the thing.
95
I don't even know how to bring it up.
96
Like, what do I say?
97
Hey, I feel like we're distant.
98
It sounds so dramatic when I put it that way.
99
Well, yeah, but, I mean, if that's how you're feeling, then it's worth mentioning, right?
100
You can't just ignore it and hope it goes away.
101
I guess you're right.
102
It's just scary, you know?
103
What if he doesn't feel the same way?
104
Or what if he does, and we realize we can't fix it?
105
Listen, I get it.
106
But here's the thing.
107
If you don't try to sort things out, you'll never know.
108
And honestly, from what you're telling me, it sounds like he might be feeling the same way.
109
You think so?
110
Yeah.
111
I mean, it takes two people to grow apart, right?
112
He's probably noticed the distance, too.
113
Maybe he's guessed as confused about how to address it.
114
Relationships are so complicated.
115
Remember when we first started dating?
116
We hit it off immediately.
117
Everything was so easy back then.
118
That's always how it is at the beginning, though everyone's on their best behavior, everything's exciting and new, but real relationships, they take work.
119
True, true.
120
So what should I do?
121
Just sit them down and what, have some big, serious conversation?
122
It doesn't have to be this huge, dramatic thing.
123
Maybe just start with something casual, like, hey, I've been feeling a bit disconnected lately.
124
Have you noticed that to?
125
And then see where the conversation goes.
126
That actually sounds doable.
127
Less intimidating, you know?
128
Exactly.
129
And look, the fact that you want to work things out instead of just walking away, that says a lot.
130
It means you still care about the relationship.
131
I do care.
132
I really do.
133
I just don't want us to keep drifting further and further until we're basically strangers living in the same apartment.
134
Then don't let that happen.
135
Communication is literally the key to everything.
136
My parents always say that's how they've stayed together for 30 years.
137
They never let problems just sit there and fester.
138
Your parents are relationship goals, honestly.
139
How do they do it?
140
I mean, they argue sometimes, for sure.
141
But they always make time to actually talk through their issues.
142
They don't just sweep things under the rug.
143
That makes sense.
144
I think Chris and I have been doing that a lot lately, just avoiding anything that might lead to conflict.
145
Yeah, and that's the problem.
146
You think you're keeping the peace, but really you're just letting things build up until, I don't know, until it explodes or you just drift
147
so far apart that there's nothing left god that's depressing okay
148
so tonight i'm going to talk to him tonight no more putting it off good
149
and honestly it might not even be as bad as you think sometimes just opening up
150
that line of communication can make a huge difference i hope you're right what
151
if he says he's been feeling the same way though like
152
where do we even go from there then you figure it out together
153
Maybe you need to spend more quality time together.
154
Maybe you need to try new things as a couple.
155
Or maybe you just need to be more intentional about staying connected.
156
There are options.
157
You're right.
158
I'm probably overthinking this whole thing, aren't I?
159
A little bit, yeah.
160
But that's what friends are for.
161
To talk you down from the ledge and remind you
162
that most problems have solutions if you're willing to put in the effort.
163
Thanks, Lucas.
164
Seriously.
165
I feel so much better after talking this through with you.
166
Anytime.
167
That's what I'm here for.
168
Now, go home and have that conversation.
169
And text me later to let me know how it goes, okay? Will do.
170
Wish me luck.
171
You've got this.
172
Alright, so what did you notice about that conversation?
173
Well, from a language perspective, there were some really useful structures in there.
174
Did you catch how
175
Emma used the present perfect to talk about her situation?
176
She said, we've kind of grew apart, though technically it should be grown as the past participle.
177
Good catch.
178
That's a common mistake even native speakers make sometimes.
179
But yeah, the present perfect is perfect for talking about situations that started in the past and continue to affect the present.
180
Exactly.
181
And Lucas used some great conditional structures, too.
182
When he said, if you don't try to sort things out, you'll never know.
183
That's a first conditional, right?
184
Real possibility in the future.
185
Right.
186
And there were lots of modal verbs throughout.
187
Might, should, can't, which are super important when you're giving advice or talking about possibilities.
188
Like when Emma said, what if he doesn't feel the same way?
189
She's expressing uncertainty.
190
And did you notice all the phrasal verbs?
191
Bring it up go through the motions, sweep things under the rug, put in the effort.
192
These are crucial for sounding natural in English, especially at a B2 level and beyond.
193
Absolutely.
194
Those phrasal verbs really make your English sound more fluent and less textbook -like.
195
Now, let's talk about something important here.
196
The conversation we just heard was about romantic relationships, but honestly, these same issues come up in all kinds of relationships.
197
Oh, completely.
198
Think about friendships, for instance.
199
How many times have you grown apart from a friend because neither of you made the effort to stay in touch?
200
It happens all the time.
201
Or with family.
202
Sometimes we assume our parents or siblings will always be there, so we don't prioritize those relationships.
203
We take them for granted.
204
And that's such a mistake.
205
Because whether it's your best friend, your brother, your colleague, or your partner, communication is always the foundation.
206
You have to express what you're feeling.
207
That's the key word, express.
208
So many people bottle up their emotions, especially in certain cultures where talking about feelings isn't really encouraged.
209
But keeping everything inside?
210
That's toxic.
211
It really is.
212
When you don't voice your concerns or your hurt, or even your appreciation, resentment builds up.
213
And before you know it, you've got this wall between you and someone you care about.
214
And the longer you wait, the harder it gets to have that conversation.
215
It's like the silence becomes this thing on its own.
216
You know, it takes up space in the relationship.
217
Exactly.
218
And here's the thing.
219
Vulnerability is actually a strength, not a weakness.
220
When you tell your friend, hey, I felt hurt when you didn't invite me to that party.
221
Or when you tell your mom, I need you to respect my boundaries, you're being brave.
222
Absolutely.
223
And most of the time, people respond better than you expect.
224
Think about it.
225
If your friend came to you and said, I've been feeling like we're not as close as we used to be, would you be angry?
226
No. I'd probably be relieved that they brought it up because chances are I've been feeling something similar.
227
Right.
228
But if nobody ever says anything, both people just suffer in silence and the relationship slowly dies.
229
And that's true whether we're talking about your roommate, your co -worker, or your sister.
230
And it's not just about problems either.
231
We also need to express positive feelings.
232
When was the last time you told your best friend how much they mean to you, or thanked your parents for always being supportive.
233
That's such a good point.
234
We get so caught up in only having the big talks when something's wrong,
235
but expressing gratitude and love is just as important for keeping relationships healthy.
236
Totally.
237
Every relationship needs maintenance, and that maintenance is communication.
238
Check in with people.
239
Ask them how they're really doing.
240
Share what's on your mind.
241
Don't let things fester.
242
Because at the end of the day, our relationships are what make life meaningful, right?
243
Whether it's romantic, platonic, or familial, these connections are everything.
244
They really are.
245
And speaking of maintaining those connections, we've got another listening activity for you.
246
This one's about two friends reconnecting after a fight.
247
But before we get to that, let's go over some essential vocabulary you'll hear in the conversation.
248
First one, make up.
249
This phrasal verb means to reconcile or become friends again after an argument or disagreement.
250
It's that moment when you put the conflict behind you and move forward.
251
For example, I was so relieved when my best friend and I finally made up after our argument.
252
I hated not talking to her.
253
Great.
254
Next up, we have fall out.
255
This means to have an argument or disagreement that damages a relationship,
256
usually resulting in people stopping their friendship or contact.
257
Yeah, it's more serious than just a little disagreement.
258
Here's an example.
259
Tom and I fell out over money he borrowed and never paid back.
260
We didn't speak for almost a year.
261
Ouch, that's tough.
262
All right, number three, hold a grudge.
263
This expression means to stay angry or resentful towards someone for a long time because of something they did in the past.
264
It's when you just can't let it go, you know?
265
For example, I don't want to hold a grudge against my cousin, but it's hard to forget how she treated me at the wedding.
266
Right.
267
It's that lingering bitterness.
268
And finally, we've got talk things through.
269
This means to discuss a problem thoroughly and honestly until you reach understanding or resolution.
270
It's all about open, honest communication.
271
For example, after our huge fight, we sat down and talked things through for hours.
272
It really helped us understand each other's perspectives.
273
Exactly.
274
So keep those four phrases in mind as you listen to this next conversation.
275
Hey, thanks for agreeing to meet.
276
I wasn't sure if you'd even respond to my message.
277
Yeah, well, it's been, what, six months?
278
I figured it was time we at least tried to talk.
279
Six months and two weeks, actually.
280
Not that I've been counting or anything.
281
Look, I'm not going to lie.
282
I was pretty angry for a long time.
283
Like, really angry.
284
I know.
285
And you had every right to be.
286
What I said at your birthday party was...
287
God, it was awful.
288
I've replayed that night in my head a thousand times.
289
It really hurts, Soph.
290
In front of everyone, you just, I mean, you basically told everyone I was irresponsible and couldn't keep a job.
291
That's not something you say about your best friend.
292
I know.
293
I know.
294
There's no excuse for it.
295
I was going through my own stuff, the breakup with Mark, the stress at work.
296
But that doesn't make it okay.
297
I took it out on you, and that was wrong.
298
I appreciate you saying that.
299
Honestly, part of me wanted to hold a grudge forever.
300
You know, just write you off and move on.
301
I wouldn't have blamed you if you did.
302
When you blocked me on everything, I thought...
303
I thought that was it.
304
That we were done.
305
Yeah, I needed space.
306
I couldn't even look at my phone without getting angry all over again.
307
My sister kept telling me I should at least hear you out, but I wasn't ready.
308
What changed?
309
Why did you agree to meet now?
310
Honestly, I ran into your mom at the grocery store last week.
311
She didn't say much, just asked how I was doing and mentioned that you'd been really struggling.
312
And, I don't know, it got me thinking.
313
My mom ran into you?
314
She didn't tell me that.
315
She probably didn't want to get your hopes up.
316
But anyway, it made me realize that maybe I was being too stubborn.
317
We fell out over one stupid night, one moment where you weren't thinking straight.
318
It wasn't just one moment, though, Ryan.
319
I need to own that.
320
I'd been kind of passive -aggressive with you for weeks before that.
321
Little comments here and there.
322
The birthday thing was just when it all exploded.
323
Okay, yeah, I did notice that.
324
I thought you were just stressed, so I didn't bring it up.
325
See, that's the problem.
326
We've been friends since high school, and we still couldn't just talk things through like adults.
327
I should have told you I was feeling overwhelmed instead of letting it build up.
328
And I should have asked what was wrong instead of ignoring it.
329
So I guess we both messed up, huh?
330
Yeah, we did.
331
But Ryan, I really am sorry.
332
Truly, you're one of the most responsible people I know.
333
And what I said was completely unfair.
334
I was projecting all my own insecurities onto you.
335
I appreciate that.
336
And look, I'm sorry, too, for just cutting you off completely.
337
That was pretty harsh.
338
I could have at least told you I needed time instead of just blocking you everywhere.
339
No, I get it.
340
I probably would have done the same thing if someone embarrassed me like that.
341
So, where do we go from here?
342
Do we just pretend the last six months didn't happen?
343
I don't think we can pretend, but maybe we can learn from it.
344
Like, actually communicate when something's bothering us instead of letting it fester.
345
That sounds good.
346
And maybe, I don't know, give each other the benefit of the doubt more often?
347
Definitely.
348
God, I've missed this.
349
I've missed you.
350
Do you know how many times I've wanted to text you about something random and then remembered we weren't talking?
351
Same here.
352
There were so many memes I wanted to send you.
353
And remember when that coffee shop we loved closed down?
354
I literally went there to tell you and then realized I couldn't.
355
Wait, Brew Haven closed?
356
No!
357
When did that happen?
358
Like, three months ago.
359
See?
360
This is what happens when we fall out.
361
We miss important stuff in each other's lives.
362
Oh, that's so sad.
363
We had so many study sessions there in college.
364
I know!
365
They left a note on the door saying they couldn't afford the rent anymore.
366
The whole neighborhood was pretty upset about it.
367
Man, six months is a long time.
368
What else have I missed?
369
Well, I actually got promoted at work last month.
370
So, you know, turns out I can keep a job after all.
371
Ryan, I'm so sorry.
372
I didn't mean...
373
I'm kidding.
374
I'm kidding.
375
Too soon?
376
Way too soon. But congratulations.
377
Seriously, that's amazing.
378
I knew you would.
379
Thanks.
380
And what about you?
381
How have you been, really?
382
Better now.
383
Honestly, losing you as a friend was harder than the breakup with Mark.
384
That's when I realized I needed to fix this, or at least try.
385
Well, I'm glad you reached out.
386
I'm glad we're talking again.
387
Me too.
388
So, are we good?
389
Can we make up and actually move forward?
390
Yeah, I think we can.
391
But Saf, if something's bothering you in the future, just tell me, okay?
392
Don't let it build up like last time.
393
I promise.
394
And same goes for you.
395
Deal.
396
Now, can we please go get coffee somewhere?
397
I need to catch you up on everything.
398
Yes, let's go.
399
I've got so much to tell you, too.
400
Wow.
401
That was a pretty emotional conversation, wasn't it?
402
It really was.
403
And linguistically, there were some great examples in there.
404
Did you notice how both
405
Sophia and Ryan used
406
Past Perfect to talk about things that happened before other past events?
407
Like when Sophia said, I'd been kind of passive -aggressive with you for weeks before that.
408
Exactly.
409
The Past Perfect helps us understand the sequence of events.
410
She was being passive -aggressive first, and then the birthday incident happened.
411
That's classic B2 plus grammar right there.
412
And they used a lot of reported speech, too.
413
Ryan mentioned, My sister kept telling me I should at least hear you out.
414
That's indirect speech, which is super useful when you're recounting what others have said.
415
Right.
416
And there were some great conditional sentences as well.
417
Sophia said, I wouldn't have blamed you if you did.
418
That's a mixed conditional, combining past and present.
419
It shows hypothetical situations and their consequences.
420
Also, notice how they both used could have and should have modal verbs in the past to express regret or missed opportunities.
421
I could have at least told you I needed time.
422
That's talking about possibilities that didn't happen.
423
Those modals of deduction and speculation are crucial for sounding natural
424
when you're reflecting on the past or discussing what might have been different.
425
Now, let's talk about what really stood out to me in that conversation.
426
Pride.
427
Pride can absolutely destroy relationships.
428
Oh, completely.
429
Both of them were hurting, but it took six months for them to actually sit down
430
and talk because neither wanted to be the first to reach out.
431
And that happens so often, doesn't it?
432
Whether it's with friends, siblings, parents, we let our ego get in the way of reconciliation.
433
We think, well, they hurt me, so they should apologize first.
434
But here's the thing.
435
If both people are thinking that way,
436
nobody reaches out and the relationship just ends over something that could have been resolved with one honest conversation.
437
Exactly.
438
And what I loved about Sophia and Ryan's conversation is that they both took accountability.
439
They didn't just blame each other.
440
They acknowledged their own mistakes.
441
That's maturity right there.
442
Admitting when you're wrong, apologizing sincerely, and being willing to listen,
443
those are the skills that keep relationships alive.
444
And it's not just about romantic relationships or friendships.
445
Think about family conflicts that go on for years because nobody wants to be the one to break the silence.
446
Holidays get awkward, people miss important life events.
447
All because of pride.
448
So, if you're listening to this and you're thinking of someone you've fallen out with, maybe take this as a sign.
449
Reach out.
450
It doesn't have to be a grand gesture.
451
Just a simple, Hey, can we talk?
452
Might be all it takes.
453
Because life's too short to hold grudges, and the people we care about are too valuable to lose over misunderstandings,
454
or hurt feelings that can be repaired.
455
Well said.
456
All right, everyone, that brings us to the end of today's episode about relationships.
457
We hope you learned some useful vocabulary and phrases that'll help you navigate these conversations in English.
458
Remember, whether you're giving advice, working through conflict, or just expressing how you feel, communication is key.

เทคนิค Shadowing คืออะไร?
Shadowing เป็นเทคนิคการเรียนรู้ภาษาที่ได้รับการรับรองทางวิทยาศาสตร์ พัฒนาขึ้นสำหรับการฝึกนักแปลมืออาชีพ วิธีการนี้เรียบง่ายแต่ทรงพลัง: คุณฟังเสียงภาษาอังกฤษจากเจ้าของภาษาและพูดตามทันที — เหมือนเงาที่ตามผู้พูดด้วยช่วงเวลาห่าง 1-2 วินาที การวิจัยแสดงว่าเทคนิคนี้ปรับปรุงความแม่นยำในการออกเสียง ทำนองเสียง จังหวะ การเชื่อมเสียง การฟังเข้าใจ และความคล่องแคล่วในการพูดได้อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ
