Maura: So today we are going to do a Chatterbox episode. And that is where Harp and I chat. We chat about all different kinds of topics of interest, sometimes we interview people. But today we are going to talk about…

Harp: Relaxing!

Maura: Ah. Just saying the word makes me want to sit back in my chair and put my hands behind my head.

Harp: Maura, snap out of it. We’ve got work to do here.

Maura: So today we’re gonna talk about relaxing and what people do in their free time, when they’re not working.

Harp: Yep. So we’re gonna start with talking about some vocabulary that we use when we’re talking about relaxing and when we talk about free time.

Maura: And then we’re going to also share with you what people do in Canada when they’re relaxing, and specifically what Harp and I like to do in our free time.

Harp: Exactly. Then we’re gonna talk about the ultimate relaxation: when you go on a vacation.

Maura: That is definitely a time to relax.

Harp: Yep. So let’s get started. Let’s talk about some vocabulary related to relaxing.

Maura: You know, all of the vocabulary that we use to talk about relaxing is really relaxed. I just feel relaxed saying the words.

Harp: Yeah, I agree.

Maura: So one of the first ones is to chill, or chilling.

Harp: Yep. So to chill is when you relax, when you’re not doing anything special or important. You’re just doin’ nothin’, usually.

Maura: Yeah. You’re just chillin’. And that’s something that’s interesting to note, too, is because this word is so relaxing, often people don’t even say the g on the end. They just say, “I’m chillin’.” Harp: Exactly.

Maura: So it’s a word that is most often used by people who are a bit younger, but really, anybody can chill.

Harp: Yeah, exactly. You could chill on the weekend or in the evening.

Maura: Yeah. Oh, I like chillin’.
