In this All Ears English podcast episode, Lindsay and Aubrey explore the nuances of using "wish" and "wishing" in English, differentiating between expressing regret, general desires, and hopes for others. They highlight how "I'm wishing" often conveys immediate regret, while "I wish" is for more general, ongoing desires. The hosts also discuss the idiomatic use of "wishing you" for conveying good luck or speedy recovery, particularly in written form, and they emphasize how these phrases foster connection. They use a role-play set in a fall festival to illustrate these points, and they encourage listeners to check out a related Business English Podcast episode.
