Finally, I can understand British now without subtitles. I am so proud of myself a little bit. Thank you, BBC for this video. More contents like this please.
To be honest, I'm not good in English and I do grammatical error all the time but your show helps me a lot. Love and support from Philippines.

Thank You for this lesson, hope you will carry it

[@huajie666liu8]

Thanks for the program. I share a story about catfishing my friend. My friend used dating app to know someone who was not that person claimed in the profile. My friend fell in love, which was a tragedy because my friend was cheated not only affection but also money. It turned out the scammer was hiding in another country for intentionally stealing money from people by leading them to believe they were loved. And then they would ask the victims to do some kind of investments of gambles. So, people! Be careful online. It can give chances but it also can create traps. But no matter what, hope all the people who are kind and loving find their true love soon. ❤️

In my opinion, dating online has become more useful in our reality. I dated a lot. Now i know how it feels like dating with somebody. So u know as an introvert person when you get shy while talking to someone, it's more comfortable way to have a relationship. It helps me to chiil out when i feel anxious too. I want to try out this words too. Thanks, BBC. You help to many people to improve their English

But I feel like you cannot find suitable reliable guys on the dating sites! I would say, over 80% of good guys are out of any such sites! They would look for a thorough inspection. Instead academic forum etc are pretty reliable sources to get a good guy! For instance, my boyfriend would never use dating sites. No, but he has profiles on academic forums/sites.

[@abduraoofp7084]

Can we use these as nouns like " he is a catfish" and "she is a wokefish" ?

[@bbclearningenglish]

Great question! It is possible to call people, like online scammers, 'catfish'. 'Wokefishing' is still a relatively new term, so it's not entirely clear how it will be used yet... Hope that helps!
