So-jun's British colleagues invited him to their weekly pub quiz. Not wanting to seem unsocial, he said yes - despite having no idea what a pub quiz actually was. This episode follows So-jun through an evening of questions he's never heard of, cultural references he doesn't understand, and the growing realisation that he's completely out of his depth. You'll learn 8 social phrasal verbs while recognising that universal feeling of nodding along when you have no idea what's happening.

• ask along - invite someone to join an activity ("They asked me along to dinner")

• show up - arrive or appear ("I showed up early")

• work out - figure out or succeed ("I tried to work it out logically")

• cut in - interrupt someone speaking ("Sorry to cut in, but...")

• write down - record something on paper ("They wrote down their answer")

• light up - when someone's face shows sudden happiness ("His face lit up")

• get into - become involved in something ("What did I get into?")

• turn out - how something results or ends ("Things didn't turn out as planned")
