Let's talk about the idiom in touch. Okay, and if you guys have comments, or you want to say something, I will answer and I'm going to say hello to everyone. Hello. Okay, here we go. We say, in touch when we want to maintain contact or communication with the person. So we don't want to lose contact, we want to keep contact and be able to communicate and talk with him, right?

So we could say, stay in touch, be in touch, keep in touch or get in touch, right? So we have four separate ways to use the idiom in touch. And the situation for each could be maybe a little bit different, but in general, they're quite the same. It's all about communication and being able to maintain contact with someone. Okay, so let's do an example using the idiom so it's a little more clear. Okay, here we are.

If I don't get in touch with our lawyer, I won't be able to stay in touch with my ex wife and kids. Hmm. So here the using get get in touch, right? You could you could say if I don't stay in touch with our lawyer, it has a little bit different feeling stay in touch would be to maintain an ongoing relationship, right? Not just one time probably not just to but over and over again. If you say be in touch, if I don't if I'm not in touch with our lawyer, right?

We might not say be in touch exactly here. But we could say if I don't know if I'm not in touch with our lawyer, similar, I'm not in communication. here when it says get in touch. The idea is that I probably communicated with the lawyer before, but I need to do it again. And maybe it's been a while since I communicated with the lawyer. Right.

So If I don't get in touch with our lawyer, then I won't be able to stay. Stay in touch. Right? maintain communication with my ex wife and kids. Hmm. Let's take a look at the word ex wife.

Okay, so ex wife with all the angry pictures. So an ex wife is a woman to whom someone was formerly married, right? But now they they're divorced. Right. Okay. So in this picture over here we can see the heart is broken is broken down the middle.

And, you know, they're divorced. They're no longer together. And unfortunately, the the word ex wife usually has a negative connotation, a negative feeling about it, like maybe she's upset a lot or she's pissed off a lot. But it might not be true, right? Maybe there was just a good reason to separate and they're no longer together. But if someone is referring to the ex wife, it's probably the husband, right?

And the husband was not happy. So when he talks about the ex wife, he talks about how she used to scream and yell and she was horrible, and it was just bad and Oh, right, though they got a divorce. Okay, so let's talk about the word lawyer. Right. I'll give you some other words, which are similar to lawyer. Okay, so here we go.

We have pictures. And it's all about the law, right? The government that makes the laws and the lawyers are the people that basically help other people understand them, or they go to court, they have to interpret the law and use the law to research the law. Right. So lawyer here are other ways to say lawyer. We go we could say attorney we could say legal advisor We could say legal practitioner.

And we could also say, counsel, Counselor, and I think I spelled this one wrong. We'll fix it. Practice. practitioner. There it is, uh huh. leave space for one more wonderful.

You say, counsel, right? These are similar ways to say lawyer. And it might depend on what situation and when you want to use them. Attorney. I need to get my attorney and he'll talk with you. I can be your legal adviser on the matter.

I have a law degree or, you know, I'm a legal practitioner, I practice law and the court. If you're in court, the judge might say please approach the bench counselor and counselors just referring to the attorneys, the lawyers that are present. And counsel is the person who is advising their client they're working with Client saying, you know, maybe it's a good idea. Don't say anything right now, or let me see the contract. And I will review the writing for you and see if it's good, right? All right, let's see here.

Okay, so let's go back to the example once again, oh, wait, Ah, I forgot about something. I think this is important. The word notary, when I was traveling in South America and in Indonesia, sometimes they would say no toddies notario or something that would be similar to notary. And in the United States, the word notary is much different than an attorney. So I think well, depends on the country, and I haven't been to all of the countries. But when I was in Chile, when I was in South America, in Indonesia, the notaries in those countries are basically like attorneys.

So they have the power and the education In, you know the influence of an attorney, so very similar to a lawyer, but in the United States, a notary is not a lawyer, right? It's different. Okay? In the United States in the USA, a notary is not an attorney is very important, right? Because in the US, a notary, you don't have to have a lot of skills or education, but an attorney who you have to have, you know, be certified, you have to go to college, it's you have to have a law degree. So, in the USA, a notary is not an attorney, right?

It's possible that they could have both things. Sometimes a lawyer is an ordering or a notary is a lawyer as well, but they're two separate things. So in the USA, I can't speak for every country in the world but in the USA, a notary confirms the ID of people before they sign a contract, right? So when we say the ID, you know, the passport, maybe the driver's license, something with their picture and their name, which is official, probably from the government saying, this is George George Johnson or something like that. So the notary, they meet the person, they see the ID, and the person will need to sign they're going to sign a contract like in this picture, and the notary makes sure that the person signing puts this, you know, similar signature, the same name as their name in the passport, and then the notary will well depend on the place but my experience, they put a stamp, boom, they put a stamp on the paper like this.

And it's their seal. It's their proof, their promise that the people who signed the contract, show their IDs and their real right it's Actually the person who signed Okay, so remember, in the USA, a notary is not an attorney. You could have a person who is both a notary and an attorney. But an attorney and a notary are are different skill sets, right? different abilities. Okay, tala Sally, me go heart says hello.

Hello, welcome. All right. So this was a notary, and I thought it was important to explain to you that in my country in the United States, an order is not the same as a lawyer, right? A lawyer has more skills more, they can give more advice, more legal stuff, okay. So once again, example. If I don't get in touch with our lawyer, I won't be able to stay in touch with my ex wife and kids.

So I need to talk with our lawyer or else I'm not going to be able to communicate, I won't be able to maintain communication with my ex wife. And kids, right Laila Aveda says Good morning. Good morning. Good evening for me, but hey, good day everywhere in the world. All right
