  Hello, everyone, and welcome to EnglishPod.

• 00:05

  My name is Marco.

• 00:06

  My name is Catherine, and sometimes you're just tired of work, you're tired of everything,

• 00:10

  you want to go somewhere for a nice romantic weekend, you take a holiday or a getaway.

• 00:15

  That's right.

• 00:15

  So why don't we take a look at this word on Vocabulary Preview.

• 00:23

  Okay, so, Marco, the word I mentioned is getaway.

• 00:27

  It has a couple of different meanings in English.

• 00:29

  What are we talking about today?

• 00:30

  Well, to get away from someone would be to, like, leave, right?

• 00:35

  To try and stay... far away.

• 00:37

  But a getaway, so taking it as a noun, a romantic getaway,

• 00:41

  is actually to take a holiday, a romantic escape from the city, escape from your daily normal life.

• 00:47

  That's right.

• 00:48

  So it's usually kind of brief or sudden,

• 00:50

  almost like you're just going to sneak out and then come back in a couple of days.

• 00:54

  Exactly.

• 00:55

  So many people refer to them as island getaways if you go to an island or a romantic getaway

• 01:01

  if you have a romantic two-day vacation or something like this.

• 01:05

  Right.
