Be careful with packaging that describes food as "No Salt".
Also, an explanation of the expression "Take something with a pinch of salt".

The Social Evolutionary

What does "NO SALT" mean? No salt, right?

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).

Kev's English Podcast: Episode 16: The Importance of Discipline!

Jag pratar om hur man pratar om hur man mår på svenska och engelska, de språk jag kan. Jag undrar om det finns några språk där människor faktiskt säger hur de mår och inte bara svarar "Jag mår bra" Varför är det inte lika acceptabelt att svara "Jag mår dåligt eller jag mår inte så bra"?  Varför finns det inte fler känslospektrum när man talar om hur man mår borde bli större, våga säga, jag mår inte så bra för jag är nervös, jag är stressad så jag mår sådär, jag mår dåligt för jag har ont i ryggen OSV. 

Detta podcast-avsnitt är en uppmaning till er att VÅGA säga hur ni faktiskt mår när ni får frågan. Jag ska försöka göra detsamma, jag vet hur svårt det är. Det är så himla mycket enklare att säga "Jag mår bra..." än att faktiskt vara ärlig.
