When I knew to my wife, in the university, I thought that she was from chinese, later I found out that she is from Ecuador

My old friend and I met weding cermony after long time, we are from same Holly Quran school.

I met him at a party. And celebrate life until today.

No, I have not met anyone in an unusual way. I met my husband at an activity at my school, a fundraiser for the graduation of the seniors of that school year.

My husband and I are students at the same university. It is the first time to meet each other when my friends and his friends went to a trip together. At the trip, I noticed he often stares to me. It is always the remembering time for my life.

Not that I remember. I have a partner. We met at work.

Yes I have. When I start a relation with my boyfriend, I don't want my friends to know. So I didn't tell them anything about him. But after my class in university, I went with my boyfriend to eat something. Unfortunately I met my best friends from university in this restaurant and they don't call me almost two weeks .

I met my boyfriend when we went a trip. At this time, his seat is infront of mine in express car. When I took photos of library opening ceremony, he asked me if he had took photos for me. It isn't very unusual way. Now we broke up. I miss him very much but he can't never know how I miss him.

I don't remember that, but i think those situations were been. About ten years ago in the internet i met a girl, wich become my wife.

No, I haven't met anyone in an unusual way.

No I didn't.

I am not remember

When I was in a school scout camp in 10th grade, I played a football game with another school from another village and there was an arrogant player said we will defeat you but we did that and a problem has occurred. After that, at the beginning of university in the first year, we lived with each other in the same student housing.

I am not remember any situation

No, I have not

I met her at bus.

I don't remember any things about an unusual meet.

I not have a partner.

I sometimes meet girls in unusual way through talk with them on the street. There were many interesting conversations.

I thought about an unusual meet but I couldn't remember.

Hello. Many thanks for your all these English lessons. They are very usefully for me to improve my English competency.

I am a shy person. Even though i meet unusual way, i would not talk to her.I would just smile first.

This lesson helps me learn English, start with small detail of simple grammar in simple and small daily interaction within people who speak in English, and also remind me to be careful, pay attention to traffic signs, read and follow the task instructions, read and work on the tasks carefully and patiently. Thank you.

I like the conversation between them.

I like this video

Well, I have never meet someone in an unusual way.

Thank you so much!

Hey..! I'm from the Philippines and I'm currently studying in highschool. I have always dreamed of going to the United Kingdom someday. That's why, at my young age I pursued studying and practicing on how to speak in English properly. I hope one day I could have a conversation with a British person for REAL. Anyway, thank you so much for making this awesome website!

I really like this dialogue

Hello, all student! I am a new student this course and I am very happy will be with you. This video is very interesting and helping me learn English. Thanks. Yes, I met my partner very unusual. He was wrong with the phone number, but he liked my voice. After which he phoned again and invited me to a date.
