Today we are going to learn English with Fluency MC!
Jason is here to do some rapping for us and to teach us some new phrases for Valentine’s Day!
We asked Jason what he thinks about Valentine’s Day.
We also talked a bit about what it was like being a kid in an American school on Valentine’s Day.
Next, Jason did a super fun rap for us! This song will help you learn some new phrases and idioms in American English that are related to this romantic holiday.
Sweetie pie– cute name for someone you love
Main squeeze– boyfriend / girlfriend
Soul mate– the perfect person for you
A good catch– person that is good to be in a relationship with, because they are attractive, rich, etc.
Turn you off– something that stops you from being attracted to someone
Turn you down– say no
