Today we’ll start with a role play:<\/p>\n

A: So Michelle are you ready to come to Boston? Our Urban English Adventure is coming up in just a few days!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

B: Yeah Lindsay I can\u2019t wait<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A: It\u2019s gonna be great- mind you- the weather in Boston is unpredictable- and we\u2019ll be outside moving around the city no matter what- so bring a raincoat just in case!<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What phrase did we use? <\/span><\/p>\n

We used the phrase “mind you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Natives use this phrase sometimes, depending on their own personal style.<\/p>\n

In today’s episode we’re going to find out what the phrase means and how you can add it to your English vocabulary to sound more interesting.<\/p>\n

Today our question comes from Andrea.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello ladies,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What’s shakin’, baken’?? Haha<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My name is Andrea and I’m from Japan. I’ve been listening to AEE since 2015, and it helped a lot to increase my vocabulary and to grow my conversation skills. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You guys are amazing and I always wanted to say that I love your laugh, I can’t help but laugh together each episode that I’m listen to! Lol<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Here is my question: I recently watched a video on youtube, and I’m sure some of the 49 million listener have watched as well, about a lady in a court, she was responding about some fines that she had had, and she said a phrase to the judge:”Mind you, he won possession of that apartment, so I had to move.” <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What does ‘mind you’ exactly means and when can I use? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I know it is a little long these questions, but I hope you can help me to understand. Thank you so muuuch for your AWSOME and hard work to teach us in this addict way. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We can try to answer your question about what they mean, but mind you,<\/strong><\/em> I don\u2019t watch a lot of TV programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does \u201cmind you\u201d mean?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a super natural and native phrase you can slip into your sentence to mean the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
