Have you ever wanted to describe a close friend in English… but didn’t know the words to explain your connection?

In this episode, we explore the exact vocabulary and natural phrases you need to talk about friendships—whether you’re describing a childhood friend, a long-distance friendship, or how a relationship has changed over time.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Describe types of friendships in English (work friends, lifelong, long-distance…)

  • Use emotional vocabulary to talk about connection and trust

  • Talk about how friendships begin, grow, or drift apart

  • Express what makes a friendship strong and how to maintain it
