I thought that I would give streaming the Expression episode for the podcast, that’ll come out tomorrow, I thought about streaming that online, instead of just recording it here as I usually do behind my mic. So, I mean I do the usual format. I guess, first, I want to give a shout out to the patrons, Veronica Pineal, as well as Maria Haro. Thank you guys so much for being patrons via my Patreon page and supporting the podcast. You guys are amazing. And everyone else who’s been supporting the podcast there too, thank you so much. Crazy fact about Australia. I thought I would start introducing these more at the start of these podcast episodes. Australia is as wide as the distance between London to Moscow. So, if you’re from Europe and you know where London is in England and you know where Moscow is in Russia, Australia’s width goes from London to Moscow. So, how crazy is that? Anyway. Give me a thumbs up, give me a love heart if you guys can hear me okay, if the audio is okay via the live feed. And if you can give it a quick share, ’cause I’m going to do that now quickly just to give it a bit of a boost on Facebook. And then we can get into the expression episode for today. But let me know what you think. Would you like these expression episodes to be streamed on Facebook Live so that you guys can interact with me during and at the ends of these episodes? So, I’ll just give this a quick share. All right. So today’s expression is “to let someone off the hook”, “to let someone off the hook”. And I’m getting these suggested in the Aussie English Virtual Classroom now. So, I’m actually setting it up with a poll each week where any expressions that are suggested I’ll put in the poll, and you guys get to vote on which expression I do. And so, this one this week is “to let someone off the hook”. And it was picked or suggested by Laleh. And then, you guys in the group all voted for this one to be this week’s expression. So, as usual guys, let’s dive in and define the different words or the different verbs, nouns, everything inside the expression. The verb “to let”, “to let”. If you let someone do something you’re allowing the person to do something. So, it means to allow. You’re permitting the person to do something. So, it also means that you permit the person to do something. You could let someone go outside.
