or someone? Today, learn new ways to talk about healing after a big disappointment and find out why this is a connection skill.

There's a big difference between understanding English and participating in English. Understanding means you follow the conversation. You participate by adding your ideas, reacting naturally, and keeping the conversation moving. Many English learners are strong listeners but hesitant speakers. Once you know your current fluency level, it becomes much easier to close that gap. Take our free two-minute quiz to discover your level and what to focus on next.

How do you become fearless and fluent in English?

Lindsay McMahon 2:04
Hey, Aubrey, I have a question for you. Oh, let's hear it. When is the last time that you saw the spelling of something and it was actually very different from what you expected?
Aubrey Carter 2:14
Okay, this has happened to me a couple of times recently. The first was, you said in a recent episode, Pesci. And I was just checking the transcripts to make sure it was spelled correctly. And I looked up the name and it was spelled so differently. I was really surprised.
Lindsay McMahon 2:31
That's so funny. How did you even look that up? Like, how did you...
Aubrey Carter 2:34
Like I saw the name, it was just P-E-S-H-I. And so then I searched, it was like Pesci tennis, something. And it all came up, right? It was like French tennis player, Giovanni Pesci, but the Pesci is spelled M-P-E-T-S-H-I, which is very surprising. It doesn't sound like that, right? When people say it. So I was surprised. And then another one I just saw a couple of days ago, was AI had transcribed something and it said, everyone's going to get past it in a couple days, which should be spelled get and then past P-A-S-T. But it wasn't. It had been spelled P-A-S-S-E-D, which sounds exactly the same when you're speaking, but doesn't make sense, would mean something totally different. And then it also inspired this episode.
Aubrey Carter 3:22
So I was like, oh, that's interesting. Get past it. And other phrases for getting over something.
Lindsay McMahon 3:27
Right. Can we get past the mistakes that AI makes, right?
Aubrey Carter 3:30
Exactly. We have to. We have to.
Lindsay McMahon 3:33
AI is still making mistakes, guys. It's not perfect. Be aware. If you are learning English with AI, you may be learning mistakes.
Aubrey Carter 3:41
Yes, absolutely. If you just are getting AI transcripts somewhere, I guarantee you they're full of mistakes. Yeah, for sure. Unfortunately.
Lindsay McMahon 3:48
And by the way, a Pesci, just so let's just have some context, is where you turn, if you're a tennis player, if you can do this, it's a very advanced skill. You turn around and you hit the ball between your legs. So that's why it's such a fun term and everyone loves it.
Aubrey Carter 4:02
Such a fun move. If ever somebody pulls it off, we're very impressed.

What are effective ways to talk about healing after disappointment?

Lindsay McMahon 4:05
Very impressed. But yeah, so today's episode then is really all about moving past things. Like, what would be another way of saying that, Aubrey?
Yeah.
Aubrey Carter 4:14
Yeah, get over it. We are going to share a few today. We have five different ways that we say this in English. So let's dive into the first one here. But of course, if all of this sounded unfamiliar, if you missed that conversation about the peshy, you might not be following the podcast, you might be missing great episodes. So hit follow wherever you listen.
Lindsay McMahon 4:33
Yeah, guys, hit that follow button right now. I mean, you know, so it depends on what happens here in terms of how quickly we're able to get over something, right?
