Hello everyone and welcome to the Culeps English Podcast. I'm Andrew, your Canadian English

study buddy, and you're listening to Catch Word, where we teach you the idioms, expressions, and

phrasal verbs that native speakers use each and every day. In just a moment, I'll be joined

by Indiana, my co-host from the USA, and we've got two expressions that I hear all the time

to teach you. They are knee-jerk reaction and off the cuff. They're both super useful for

describing how people respond to situations without thinking. Something that I do too often,

I think. We'll walk you through exactly how and

when to use these expressions, and of course we'll be giving you plenty of examples from real

life along the way. Before we get started with this lesson, let me tell you all about being

a Cule-Lips member. As a member, you'll get access to our weekly speaking classes,

our exclusive member only series, the fluency files, and add free audio for all our episodes.

You'll also get an interactive transcript, a helpful study guide, and a comprehension quiz

for this episode, and in fact, all of the episodes from our library.

So if you're serious about improving your English, join us as a Culeps member. Just visit our website,

Discord server where you can connect with English

learners from all over the world.

After this episode, pop on over to our Discord to practice using the expressions that

you'll learn in this lesson with other members of the Culebs community.

It's the best way to make them stick and to remember them.

Alright, now it's time to get started.

Let's welcome Indiana to the show and we'll get things going.
