In today's video I'm going to teach all of you guys phrasal verbs about socializing.

And one of the most important phrasal verbs about socializing is hang out.

What does 'to hang out' mean?

To hang out means to spend a lot of time in a place or  with someone.

And I'm in the middle of Chicago (I'm all alone)

and I want to hang out with my friends.

So let me call up my friends Mateo and Lisanna.

Hey Mateo and Lisanna! What are you up  to today?

Do you want to meet up at the Chicago Riverwalk?

Okay nice I'll see you then!

Hey, I'm over here.

Hey Lisanna! Hey Mateo!

How've you guys been?

We've been great.

What are your plans for today?

We would like to go to the Trump Tower.

Awesome! Well let's go check it out.

Let's go!

When you hang out with people, you go to a place.

So right now I'm at Trump Tower on Terrace 16

and I'm hanging out with my friends and enjoying the beautiful city,

looking at all of the beautiful buildings and skyscrapers around me.

Normally when you hang out with your friends

you can hang out at a place.

And I like to hang out at places that are free.

Right now we're at the Trump Tower and this Terrace is free

but you can also go to different  places that are free like the park

and you can just talk and catch up with your friends.

I have a question for both of my friends, Mateo and Lisanna...

When you guys normally catch up with your friends and hang out with them,

do you guys normally go to places that are free

like strolling around a park or walking around the city?

Or, do you guys normally go to places that are expensive?

Maybe an expensive restaurant?

Well we really love free places.

We prefer to talk more with friends and spend time in free places rather than spend a lot of money.

Maybe a little coffee, something to eat,

but I would say more middle range not too expensive.

I'm the same. I'm like Mateo I like to go stroll around the park.

I like to walk a lot like you so I don't like to spend a lot of money.

And then I also do like to spend some money going out to eat,

drinking a cup of coffee at a cafe.

I would rather walk 10 kilometers instead of paying $100 for an attraction.

And for my audience (my subscribers),

where do you guys normally like to hang out with your friends?

Let me know down below.

Now Mateo and Lisanna, let's go ahead and stroll around the city

because we have a lot to catch up on.

Let's go!

Right now we're in front of the coffee shop and I'm with my friend Lisanna

and I think a coffee shop is a great way to go and catch up with your friends

because you can hang out with them, you can ask them a lot of questions,

catch up about their life.

I haven't seen my friend Lisanna in a while,

so I'm going to ask her how her life is in Estonia inside the coffee shop.

Also, inside the coffee shop you can chitchat with your friends,

drink a cup of coffee, and enjoy the environment because it's  pretty quiet.

Lisanna, what's your favorite coffee?

I love a warm cappuccino with oat milk.

Awesome! I think I might order a white chocolate mocha

so let's go ahead and head on over to the coffee shop.

Normally when I invite my friends to hang out with me,

I like to treat them with something.

So if we go out to drink a cup of coffee I like to pay for their cup of coffee.

But normally Americans will just pay separately when they pay for their things.

So today I'm going to treat my friends, Mateo and Lisanna.

I'm going to pay for their cup of coffee

and I'm going to ask them some questions about their life

because I want to catch up with them and see what they've been up to,

what have their lives been up to traveling all over the world.

Because if you guys haven't seen their YouTube channel,

they are both travel vloggers and they go all around the world and they visit different countries,

different cities, and I'm sure they have a lot of good stories to tell me.

Hey guys! Before continuing the video,

I want to emphasize Open English.

It is one of the best if not the best platform to learn English online.

I know this because I've been using the platform

and I was impressed by how professional they are.

I've also seen how many of their students have significantly improved their  English in a short time.

I personally recommend it since their teachers are native speakers like me

and they have helped me improve my way of teaching English.

I have learned a lot from them.

They also have very flexible schedules since they have classes 24/7

and you can access them from  any device at any time.

And best of all (you won't believe it),

all of their teachers are native so  you will have the opportunity to practice your English

and improve your pronunciation.

Trust me, go and click on the link in my description

to start becoming more bilingual every day.

Don't miss out on it!

I just bought my cup of coffee and I gave Lisanna a cup of coffee for free

because she's my friend.

And I also bought us a bundt cake for us to share.

Mateo, why didn't you order something?

Because coffee gives me anxiety (anxiety).

And I cannot eat chocolate because I am on a diet.

Okay, you're on a diet.

You wanna cut out the sugar from your diet.

The sugar, the coffee, and the alcohol as well.

I paid $13.92 for two cups of coffee (a small and a medium and a cake).

Do you guys think that's expensive or do you guys think it's cheap?

Let me know down below.

And I also think that this is a pretty cheap price for me

because you can sit down with your friends, hang out with them, chit-chat, and catch up about their life

so I'm going to ask Mateo and Lisanna some questions about their  life

because they are both travel vloggers that travel all around the world.

So both of my friends are not from the United States States.

He's from Argentina.

He's Argentinian.

Lisanna is from Estonia.

She's Estonian.

I have a question...

So I know you guys travel all around the world.

Where do you guys live right now?

We actually live in Estonia.

This is our place it's where we have our house.

Do you guys think you'll live there your whole life?

Or, since you're traveling so much do you think you'll move to a different place?

We are very spontaneous so we never know, but right now it's Estonia.

What country have you guys traveled to lately?

Lately, we've been to....

maybe Lisanna remembers more than me.

We went to Japan, United Arab Emirates, and Maldives.

What are your favorite types of food?

Or, what is the best food you've had in these countries or countries in South America?

For me, the best one is ceviche from Peru.

And also I love beans, rice, and meat.

Which is a typical Latin American food.

The most delicious thing recently that I tried was Japanese tomato Ramen.

And I know both of you travel around the world

and you guys work with YouTube (you guys make videos on YouTube),

so what is the best thing about your job?

In my opinion it's that I have a lot of fun

and I do this job because I can have fun.

I love that we have a free schedule.

So if I want to wake up at 10 a.m. and start my day later I can do it.

And if I want to start really early also I can do it.

I feel like with YouTube you're your own boss.

You know, you can wake up when you want to wake up,

you can work when you want to work,

but you're also having fun and traveling the world

so I think that's such a cool job that you guys have.

It's amazing.

[It] also has the negative sides like any kind of other job,

but we love what we do so far.

What do you think are the negatives to working with social media and  online?

I would say that you have to be online the whole time.

And then that drowns your energy a lot.

And also you have to travel from one country to another all the time

and sometimes you want to stay at home and have a normal routine

instead of just keep changing the places all the time.

That can be really exhausting.

I definitely think it can be exhausting especially traveling all around the  world.

You're changing your time.

You know, Europe is 6 hours ahead, here it's a different time.

It can be difficult adjusting to the time, adjusting to the food if you've never tried the food before.

I think it's great that you guys have more positives than negatives about your job

because you guys wouldn't be doing it, right?

That's for sure, yes. We are very thankful to have this life and job.

I know both of you are so intelligent and you guys speak so many languages.

You're from Estonia you speak Estonian, Spanish, and you also speak English.

And you speak Spanish as well, and Portuguese, and English as well.

Do you guys think English is necessary to travel all around the world?

I would say that English is not important anymore.

I think it's essential.

You must speak English (in my opinion).

If you speak English you will open the doors of the world of the opportunities

and your life I'm pretty sure will improve and get better if you speak English.

I think also because it's an international language

and not only it allows you to travel, it allows you to study, to work, and maybe even meet someone.

Now that I have caught up with my great friends, Mateo and Lisanna,

I'm going to drink my cup of coffee (she is too)

and we're going to share this bundt cake together.

I just got done drinking my cup of coffee with my friends Mateo and Lisanna

and I had a great time chitchatting with them,

getting to know them a little bit more, and hearing the stories they have from around the world.

And later I'm going to meet up with my friends and hang out with them again.

We are going to the NBA game where the Chicago Bulls are going to play against the Brooklyn Nets.

Okay guys I'll meet up with you later and I'll see you then, okay?

All right. See you later, bye!

My friends just left and I'm all  alone right now

because they went to explore the city of Downtown Chicago

because it's their first time here.

Also, I told them that I'm going to meet up with them later.

What does the phrasal verb "meet  up" mean?

That means that I'm going to see them at a specific time or location.

And I'm going to meet up with them at the NBA stadium.

Also, let me know down below what questions you guys normally ask to your friends when you meet up with them.

Hey Mateo and Lisanna!

How are you guys?

Good, good.

What did you guys end up doing while you were in downtown Chicago?

Oh we walked all around the city it was super awesome.

Really? Was it cold?

It was pretty cold and windy but it was okay not too bad.

What places did you guys go to?

What places did you visit?

We went to visit the... what was the name of the...?

Navy Pier.

Navy Pier.

The Navy Pier. Yeah, that's right.

Well I'm glad we met up and we're finally at the NBA Stadium.

We're going to watch the Chicago Bulls play  basketball.

I'm so excited.

Let me know down below if you guys in the future want me to go to an NBA stadium

and record a video teaching you guys English at a basketball stadium.

Go ahead and subscribe to their channel, Mateo and Lisanna

because they are travel vloggers and they speak Spanish too.

So if you're a Spanish speaker, go ahead and subscribe to them.

I'll see you guys next week for the video. Bye!
