Welcome to twominenglish.com, teaching you English through two-minute lessons. In this lesson, you will learn phrases that you can use to discuss your future planning.

Hello dear viewer! We plan out things ahead, and we love to share our plans with our family and friends, don't we? When we talk about things we've planned, we use “I’m going to” to start the sentence. In this lesson we’re going to see a lot of ‘I’m going to’ conversations. Do listen to them all, and also make sure you check out the vocabulary section at the end. Let’s get started now!!
