The real English of meeting the in-laws, in slow, clear English — I've heard so much about you, all good, I hope!, please, call me Jack, make yourself at home, can I give you a hand with anything?, thank you for having me. An English learning podcast episode you can take on a walk or a long drive, because there is nothing on screen to miss. Taught through Meet the Parents.

This episode covers the story of Meet the Parents, the comedy about a nurse who flies to Long Island to ask for his girlfriend's father's blessing and discovers that the father is a retired CIA interrogator with a lie detector in his study — plus a vocabulary lesson built right into that story: the English of meeting the in-laws, from "I've heard so much about you" and "please, call me Jack" to "make yourself at home", "can I give you a hand with anything?" and "thank you for having me".

Perfect for intermediate English learners who enjoy movies and want a slow, clear, podcast-friendly way to improve their English listening comprehension and vocabulary on the go — no video required.
