  • Hello and welcome to the English we speak from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Neil and with me is Fei.

  • Fei.

  • Hello.

  • You seem a bit tired, Neil.

  • Late night?

  • Yeah, I had to go to this old university reunion thing, which was fine,

  • but by the time all the goodbyes and the air kisses were over, it was really late.

  • Air kisses?

  • You were kissing the air?

  • You know those kisses people give each other where their lips never actually touch each other's?

  • They just make the noise.

  • Ah, yes, I know.

  • When you meet up with people, you know, at a social event and to greet and say goodbye, you pretend to kiss.

  • That's it.

  • Usually you touch cheeks on either side and make a kissing noise.

  • But the lips no never touch.
