I Survived! 8 English Phrases to Use Aft...

BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson, you’ll learn 8 common English phrases that you can use after doing something difficult, stressful, or challenging.

Sometimes we use these phrases seriously, and sometimes we use them as funny exaggerations. You might say “I survived!” after your first week back at work, “What a relief!” after finding something you lost, or “The hard part is over” after finishing something stressful.

In this lesson, you’ll learn phrases like I survived, I did it, I made it, the worst is behind me now, I lived to tell the tale, what a relief, the hard part is over, I weathered the storm, and I made it through in one piece.

I’ll explain what each phrase means and give you an easy-to-understand example so you’ll know how to use it in your next English conversation.

I hope you enjoy the lesson and that it helps you learn some useful, natural English phrases. Have a great day!
