Have you ever made a big change in your life and moved in a direction that you never thought you’d go in?
In today’s episode we’ll share some exciting news from Lindsay and we’ll show you how to express that you are about to do something that you never expected you’d do in English.
So what’s the big announcement? Here it is:
Lindsay is moving to Los Angeles! She has been living in Boston for the past ten years and it’s time for a change.
Los Angeles is a place that is completely different from the cities that Lindsay has lived in in the past so it’s a surprising choice.
Sometimes you might want to express this feeling to a friend when you make a surprising decision.
Here are simple ways to do it in English:
- I never imagined I would move to California
- I never, in a million years, thought I’d move to California
- I never would have pictured myself in California
- I never thought I’d say do this but…I am moving to California
- I can’t believe I am doing this but yeah
