We’ve all had them… those painfully awkward moments you wish you could rewind and do differently.

In this episode of Mind Your English, Chris shares some of his own embarrassing stories — from things he accidentally blurted out at the worst possible time to social situations that didn’t quite go to plan. Expect relatable moments, a bit of self-deprecating humour, and plenty of natural British English along the way.

As always, you’ll pick up useful phrasal verbs and expressions in context — including gems like blurt out, along with other everyday phrases that native speakers actually use when talking about awkward or uncomfortable situations.

This episode is perfect for intermediate learners who want to:

• Improve their listening with clear, natural British English
• Learn phrasal verbs in real-life context
• Get used to informal storytelling and everyday expressions
• Feel more confident understanding spontaneous speech

So whether you’re out for a walk, on your commute, or just putting the kettle on, press play and prepare to cringe (just a little).

Don’t forget — you can download the full transcript using the link in the episode description to review new vocabulary and expressions.
