This could mean doing something as simple as vegging out after a long day at work, or taking a vacation for some serious R&R. Get comfortable, put your feet up, and listen to this one!

Maura: Today we are going to talk about…
Harp: Relaxing!
Maura: Ah. Just saying the word makes me want to sit back in my chair and put my hands behind my head.
Harp: Maura, snap out of it. We’ve got work to do here.
Maura: So today we’re gonna talk about relaxing and what people do in their free time, when they’re not working.
Harp: Yep. So we’re gonna start with talking about some vocabulary that we use when we’re talking about relaxing and when we talk about free time.
Maura: And then we’re going to also share with you what people do in Canada when they’re relaxing, and specifically what Harp and I like to do in our free time.
