00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here from Happy English and welcome

2
00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:15,839
to another Saturday Short. Your quick tip for speaking English naturally. Today,

3
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:21,120
let's talk about nostalgia. You know, you hear an old

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,399
song on the radio and it brings you back to

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,679
your high school days, or you find some old photos

6
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:33,240
in your phone from fifteen years ago and suddenly you

7
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:38,920
are transported back to that time. Well, in English, when

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,159
you experience something that gives you nostalgic or sentimental feelings,

9
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:50,399
you can say it's a blast from the past. Like

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,920
hearing those old songs from my high school days was

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,240
a blast from the past. Or like I hung out

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,119
with my college buddies last weekend it was such a

13
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:08,599
blast from the past. You watched Rocky last night, Wow,

14
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,760
what a blast from the past. How about you recently,

15
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,000
have you experienced anything that was a blast from the past.

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,640
A blast from the past. This is a natural phrase

17
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,480
you can use in your English conversations and it'll help

18
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,760
you sound more fluent and then just like that, you're

19
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,560
speaking like a native. Thanks for listening, and I'll see

20
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,000
you next Saturday for another Saturday Short.
