easy english expression rehashed hello everybody my name is coach shane and welcome to easy english expressions come on let's master english Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression number 565. Coach Shane here. How you doing?

Hey, if English is important to you, I have three communities that you might be interested in. The first is school.com slash LME, S-K-O-O-L.com slash L-M-E.

Especially if you're a beginner and you want to improve your English speaking and listening, conversation skills, you want to learn how to stop translating, go to that site. It's amazing. Now, if you really are serious about improving your speaking, School.com slash speaking, S-K-O-O-L.com slash speaking, S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G. And that has my newest perf speaking lessons.

So if it's important to you to improve your speaking skills, that's where you want to go. And finally, if listening is what you want to work on, you want to be able to hear what Americans or TV shows, movies and stuff like that, you want to hear and understand everything, then school.com slash listening. is the site you want to go to, S-K-O-O-L dot com slash listening, L-I-S-T-E-N-I-N-G.

They're pretty easy to remember, LME, speaking and listening. These are fantastic places where you can study with me. We have over 100 live classes where you can get one-on-one training, personalized training to fix your speaking and listening skills, especially pronunciation. It's so important.

So I would love to have you in my communities. Studying eCubed is a lot of fun and it's very useful. But if you want to actually improve your English, you need to use it. And these communities will allow you to use it every single day.

So it's fantastic. So anyway, today we have eCube number 565, a lovely expression. Check it out. Let's go back in time. Well, if everything is okay, I have arrived in Chicago.

And I've moved. Well, I'm still moving my stuff and everything. Lots of work. But now, if I'm lucky, I'll have a new neighbor. When I lived in the desert, there were no neighbors.

I mean, there were old people. But I'm talking about animals that would live next to me. But here in Chicago, there are squirrels and deer and fish. And I hope to be really close to those guys.

Today's expression is to be chummy with. someone to be chummy c-h-u-m-m-y with someone that means to be very close to someone have a very good friendly relationship check out the dialogue why are you being all chummy with lima you don't know don't know what he's one of the owners of manchester united

That makes me so angry when people try to be chummy with you or someone else in order to receive a benefit. I hate that. So if I'm chummy with, for example, some fish, I'm not going to eat them. I just want to be friends with them.

Just hang out with them and swim with them. Maybe I'll go fishing. They can tell me who to catch. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's a great expression. And it does have that possible meaning.

So I'm chummy with somebody. I'm close to somebody. I'm good friends with somebody. But also, if you're chummy with somebody in order to get something, in order to be someone special, that's not too cool.

Right? Yeah. It happens though. I mean, people are people. And I'll be honest. If my neighbor in Chicago has like a really cool truck or maybe a big snowmobile or a nice motorcycle or a nice boat.

Yeah, I must admit I'll probably be chummy with the guy. Please take me on your boat, please. Alright, that's today's expression. I hope I'm moving in nicely.

Please keep your fingers crossed. And together, let's master English! Why are you being all chummy with Lima? You don't know? Don't know what? He's one of the owners of Manchester United!
