Do you know how to respond when someone shares their experiences with you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way you respond or react to a story a person shares with you matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vocabulary you use will be different depending if you have experienced the same thing or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s episode, Lindsay and Aubrey share with you English phrases that show empathy and will build the strongest connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coffee or Tea? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey asks Lindsay if she prefers coffee or tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindsay loves coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says it is the best drink for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing better than smelling fresh coffee in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey is team coffee as well. In the evening, she would drink chamomile tea but in the morning she definitely needs coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindsay also drinks tea, but she is absolutely a coffee person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindsay continues to share that when she was in Taos, New Mexico, they went to a coffee shop and ordered dark roast coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the person at the bar said that they try not to brew dark roast coffee and offered either a medium to light roast coffee instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aubrey found it amusing that it seemed like the person taking her order was judging her preference for coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindsay laughed and agreed because she is aware that in the hip coffee world standards, dark roast is considered burnt coffee beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s episode was inspired by a previous episode done by Lindsay and Aubrey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was episode AEE 1793: Wikipedia English and Why You Shouldn\u2019t Trust The Dictionary<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that episode, they mentioned the expression \u201cthere\u2019s nothing worse than\u2026\u201d and promised they\u2019ll do an episode on how to use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is such a great native phrase to use to exaggerate and here they are fulfilling that promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nothing Better Than English Expressions <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lindsay and Aubrey point out that native English speakers often are dramatic when sharing stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase \u201cthere\u2019s nothing worse than\u2026\u201d is often used with an intonation that is exaggerated as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding this to your vocabulary will definitely make you sound more native and natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of ways you can use this phrase and Aubrey and Lindsay share with you some of them along with variations of the expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
