Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Catherine and we're going to a family party today, right Marco?
That's right.
We're gonna go see our family our relatives and we're gonna talk about all the different family members that you can have so there's some very very specific family members that sometimes you don't really know the names of.
That's right.
So we're not talking about mother, father, brother, sister.
We're talking about what we call in English extended family.
So that means not just the people you live with but also people you're related to who are maybe in different parts of your family.
That's right.
So let's listen to our dialogue and we'll be back in a bit.
What are you doing this weekend?
My brother-in-law is having a small get-together at his house, and he invited me.
Is it a family thing or just friends?
A bit of both.
Some cousins, aunts, and uncles will be there, but also some friends from the neighborhood.
Is your great-uncle Rick going to be there?
He is really funny.
Yeah, he's gonna be there with his stepson and his ex-wife.
You mean your sister?
