English Listening Practice for Beginners: My Weekend! (A1-A2)

Hello. What did you do last weekend? Was it exciting, boring, interesting? I am going to tell you about my weekend. first slowly then normally learning English doesn't have to be difficult or complicated. It can be easy. Over the weekend, I took the bus to my parents house. My mom and my dad, they both live together with my little brother, Hain. He edits these videos. I decided to visit my parents last minute around 4:00 p.m. But at 4:00 p.m. The traffic in Mexico City is crazy. So I decided to wait for the traffic to settle down. Traffic never settles down in Mexico City, but around 8 p.m. it's not too crazy anymore. But there was still so much traffic. I was sat in traffic for about 2 hours and then he finally started driving. He drove all the way to my hometown where my dad picked me up in his car. He drove his car to the bus station and he picked me up. I hopped in and I sat in the front seat of the car, not the back seat, the front seat. Because my mom wasn't there. So, I got to sit in the front seat. I was a little hungry because I hadn't had any dinner yet. So, my dad drove me to get some eskes. Eskites have corn, mayonnaise, lime, tahin. It's a mixture of good stuff. It's the perfect late night snack. We bought two eskes, one for me and one for my mom, and we drove home. We ate our eskes and we hung out listening to music, watching videos. And the next morning we all went to the cafe where they sell breakfast, coffee. You can sit down and chat with friends or family while you eat breakfast. I ordered a maple doughut with bacon. That was the perfect combination. Maple with bacon. So good. The doughnut was fluffy and soft but crunchy on the outside. I also ordered a omelette with spinach and I ordered a cappuccino. My dad drove us all back home and we watched a movie called Roommates on Netflix. It was really good. It's one of those movies that keeps you on your toes just waiting for the next thing to happen. It wasn't suspenseful or scary. It was just frustrating and just annoying to see how her roommate got away with everything again and again. But it was really good. Later, my dad drove me to my nail appointment. As you can see, I got my nails done again. I used to never get my nails done, but lately with my videos and my rings, I really love looking down while I'm working and seeing my nails and saying, "Those are cute nails." I chatted and I gossiped with the nail technician and I loved my nails. Do you like them? Same as do you like them? But quickly. Do you like them? I decided on the color pink. I don't know if pink is really my color. But lately, I've been really obsessed with pink. I just bought a new purse with pink polka dots. These are polka dots. So, I thought I think pink nails would go well with my new bag. You know what I mean? That's something I noticed. I say a lot. Native speakers say it a lot. Do you know what I mean? kind of to reaffirm that you understand. So if I say, "Yeah, I got my pink nails because they match my new bag and pink is just a pretty color." Do you know what I mean? You know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? That's something you could use just if you want to make sure that somebody understands your point, your idea. You know what I mean? After my nail appointment, I had some lunch with my mom and I took the bus back to my apartment. I took a shower and I got ready because I had a techno event to go to. Just an event where they play techno music. I did my makeup. I put some eye shadow on, some lip gloss, and some cute earrings. By the way, do you want me to make my next video about makeup, the vocabulary, the steps in simple English? Let me know. I went to the techno event and I danced all night and the next morning I got breakfast at Tox. tox is a chain of restaurants. It's very popular in Mexico. Do you have any restaurant chains in your country? If so, which one is your favorite and why? I slept all day and then I went with my sister to walk around some cute bazaars and markets in Mexico City. And I bought this necklace. It's my favorite flower, the hakarandas. And they made it a necklace. I love it. It's my new favorite necklace. I also recorded a few videos for the week. I worked on my English community and then I went to sleep again. It was a really special weekend. I saw family, friends, and I spent time with myself. What about you? What did you do this weekend? You know what I mean? Try and integrate this phrase into a sentence you use today. It's a fun phrase to use, I think. Now, here goes the normal speed. So, over the weekend, I took the bus to my parents house. my mom and my dad, but my dad was the only one who picked me up at the bus station. We chatted in the car for a little bit and I was a little hungry because I hadn't had anything for dinner. So, he took me to get some eskes. An eskee is a mixture of corn, mayonnaise, lime, taheen, sometimes cheese, but I don't eat that much cheese because it's bad for my acne. We all hung out. We ate eskees together, and we listened to music and watched YouTube videos. Next day, we went to my favorite cafe in my hometown, and I ordered the most delicious doughnut. It was a maple doughnut with sprinkles of bacon on top. The bacon wasn't too crispy or too soggy. It was perfect and so was the doughnut. The doughnut was fluffy and soft on the inside, but the outer layer was crunchy where the maple was. It was really good. I also ordered an omelette with spinach and I had a cappuccino coffee. Then my dad drove us home and we watched a movie on Netflix called Roommates. It's really good, but it just keeps you on your toes. It keeps you kind of on the edge of your seat because you're like, "What's going to happen next? What's she going to do to her next?" It was a little frustrating to watch, but really interesting. Then my dad drove me to my nail appointment. I got my nails done and I chatted and gossiped with my nail technician. I got pink to match some accessories that I've been buying. I just bought this brown purse with pink polka dots and I thought that my nails would match it perfectly. After that, I took my bus back to my apartment and I rushed to take a quick shower. I did some quick makeup, eye shadow, put on some cute earrings, and I head to a techno event with my friends. We danced all night and then we had breakfast together at Dulks. It's a chain of restaurants in Mexico that's very popular. And I think I've ordered some enchilada Swissas. If you've never had enchilada Swissas before, if you ever go to Mexico, you need to try them. They're so good. Um, but I'm curious, do you have any restaurant chains in your country? And if so, which one is your favorite? It was a really fun weekend, and I'm curious, what did you do this weekend?
