🔒 British Life: Seeing Someone Off

Anna Tyrie, Bleav
About this episode

Subscriber-only episode

E277: 🎙️ Welcome Plus Members to a special bonus episode of The English Like a Native Podcast where we explore the heartfelt ritual of "seeing off" loved ones. Join me as I share a tender moment from this morning, waving goodbye to my children as they embark on a short adventure with their grandparents.

👋 But "seeing off" isn't just about saying goodbye; it's a symbol of connection and love. Whether it's at the airport, train station, or simply at the front door, this tradition embodies the essence of strong relationships and cherished moments together.

❓ As I reflect on this tradition, I invite you to share your own experiences and cultural customs. Do you practice a similar ritual in your country? Or perhaps you have unique traditions that bring loved ones closer?
