know anything about the local cuisine or00:00:32
you're just feeling a little bit00:00:33
adventurous you can ask the wait staff00:00:35
do you have any recommendations how much00:00:38
is this how much is this this is useful00:00:40
when you're out shopping or when you're00:00:41
in a restaurant and the price is not00:00:43
clearly marked or something is not clear00:00:45
to you so you can ask how much is this00:00:49
usually when you point to something i00:00:51
would recommend like pointing to the00:00:53
menu or pointing to an item how much is00:00:55
this00:00:56
i'd like this you can point to something00:00:58
and say i'd like this uh if you want to00:01:01
say i'd like uh one for example i don't00:01:04
know you're getting beer i'd like one of00:01:06
these00:01:07
if however you're in a situation where00:01:09
you can't point you can say i'd like 1000:01:12
of the blah blah blah i'd like 10 of the00:01:15
blue t-shirts please can i try this on00:01:18
is useful when you're shopping for00:01:20
clothes so you find something that you'd00:01:22
like to try just ask the staff can i try00:01:25
this on you can just say i want to try00:01:28
this on if you like do you speak english00:01:31
you might get asked this phrase so you00:01:33

you should probably say yes or you can00:01:36
say yes a little if you're not feeling00:01:38
very confident if you're watching this00:01:40
video and you're understanding this part00:01:41
and you say no then00:01:44
things that's a little strange i have a00:01:46
reservation usually the staff will greet00:01:48
you and you can say i have a reservation00:01:51
hello i have a reservation it's at seven00:01:54
o'clock the name is alicia usually we00:01:57
say the name is or it's under meaning00:02:00
the reservation is under my name or um00:02:03
it's for name00:02:05
or uh it's in name water please00:02:09
depending on which country you're from00:02:10
water may or may not automatically be00:02:13
brought to your table when you're at a00:02:14
restaurant if you would like more water00:02:17
however you can say water please to make00:02:19
it a little more polite i would like00:02:22
wave at the wait staff and say could i00:02:24
please have some more water do you take00:02:26
credit cards do you take credit cards in00:02:28
case you're not sure if the shop that00:02:30
you're in will accept credit cards or00:02:33
debit cards you can ask them do you take00:02:35
credit cards so it doesn't mean do you00:02:37
take meaning are you going to take my00:02:39
card but this take means do you accept00:02:42
credit cards this isn't what i ordered00:02:45
so if you're at a restaurant you order00:02:47
steak and you get lobster instead you00:02:49
can look at it and go ah this isn't what00:02:51
i ordered be careful though say this00:02:54
politely if you look at the wait staff00:02:56
and you say this isn't what i ordered00:02:59
they're gonna be like00:03:01
i don't know just be a nice customer00:03:03
excuse me but i don't think this is what00:03:05
i ordered or this isn't what i ordered00:03:07
can you please check could we have the00:03:09
menu please if for some reason you don't00:03:12
receive a menu when you come to the00:03:14
table you can again just waive a a00:03:17
member of the staff and say could we00:03:19
have the menu please could you give me a00:03:22
discount could you give me a discount00:03:24
means uh i would like a cheaper price00:03:26
essentially it depends on which country00:03:28
you're in if haggling or bargaining00:03:31
meaning talking to the seller to try to00:03:33
reduce the price my family didn't00:03:35
bargain we didn't haggle so i don't00:03:37
haggle depends on you and your culture00:03:39
but uh just yeah just be be aware of the00:03:42
culture that you're in and the place00:03:43
that you're in before you ask this00:03:45
question do you have any vegetarian00:03:47

the staff will say smoking or00:05:15
non-smoking you can say i'd like to have00:05:17
a non-smoking seat please quite honestly00:05:20
though the most natural response is just00:05:22
to say non-smoking could i get a map00:05:25

compliment that you can use anytime you00:07:14
can use it uh to your with your friend00:07:16
with your00:07:18
not with your boss your boss might use00:07:19
it with you an employee a co-worker a00:07:22
colleague a pet even whatever it's it's00:07:26
just00:07:27
a very small scale very easy to use00:07:29
compliment that means you think whatever00:07:32
has just happened is good i use great00:07:34
job all the time i use great job and i00:07:36
use good job sometimes00:07:38
when i make a mistake or something funny00:07:41
happens that i'm alone at my house and i00:07:43
want to make fun of myself i'll be like00:07:45
yeah great job alicia00:07:47
but if i'm if i'm trying to be positive00:07:50
about a failure or laugh at myself a bit00:07:52
but in general it's just a good easy00:07:55
compliment to give someone great job you00:07:58
have a way with words you have a way00:08:00
with words this can be speaking this can00:08:03
be writing it means you think that the00:08:06
other person is a good communicator or00:08:09
maybe even more so than just a good00:08:10
communicator you think that the way they00:08:13
speak or the way that they write is00:08:15
particularly good so that could mean00:08:17
funny it could mean romantic it could00:08:19
mean dramatic something about the way00:08:22
they speak or the way that they write00:08:24
you really enjoy that you can say you00:08:26
have a way with words00:08:28
it's quite a nice compliment i think00:08:30
it's kind of like a you know bit smart00:08:32
it's a bit of a smart thing you have a00:08:34
way with words or you can say you're00:08:36
good with words you're really good with00:08:37
words yeah all right next one you look00:08:40
gorgeous you look gorgeous very nice00:08:42
compliment to give just be very careful00:08:45
with the way that you say this for an00:08:47
everyday compliment i tend not to say00:08:50
you look nice or you look gorgeous today00:08:53
or something like that because the00:08:55
underlying comment there is on the other00:08:58
days that person doesn't look nice00:09:00
like00:09:01
so00:09:02
if i want to compliment someone's00:09:03
appearance i try to pick a specific00:09:05
thing i'm like oh i've never seen you00:09:08
wear that sweater before it looks nice00:09:10
on you something like that like00:09:12
yesterday my friend had a new dress on00:09:14
and i was like is that a new dress and00:09:16
because i thought she looked nice00:09:18
but i didn't i didn't want to make it00:09:20
sound like i don't think she looks nice00:09:21
every day so i said is that a new dress00:09:23
and she goes yeah i said i think that00:09:26
color is really really nice on you it00:09:27
looks really good and she was so happy00:09:30
about that so00:09:31
i yes there there are these compliments00:09:34
like you look nice you look great you00:09:35
look gorgeous and so on but i personally00:09:38
kind of prefer to level them up a little00:09:40
bit and just say pick a specific thing00:09:42
like did you get a new haircut did you00:09:44
dye your hair or you did you get00:09:45
something did something happen like what00:09:48
whatever it is try to pick up on a00:09:50
specific thing because then that shows00:09:51
you're paying attention to the other00:09:53
person00:09:54
and you think that whatever they have00:09:55
chosen to do whatever like clothing or00:09:58
whatever haircut whatever it is you00:10:00
think that they have good sense there00:10:01
too or good style so it's kind of like a00:10:03
double that's a very subtle double00:10:05
compliment00:10:06
yeah00:10:07
the next word is you have good taste you00:10:10
have good taste this can be for00:10:12
food uh fashion style for decorating00:10:16
sense00:10:18
music in movies whatever if you think00:10:20
that that person's uh artistic selection00:10:24
is in whatever capacity if you think00:10:26
that that person makes good choices with00:10:28
uh their00:10:30
their appearance or their hobbies or00:10:32
whatever you can say you have good taste00:10:34
this is a fairly sophisticated00:10:36
compliment i think00:10:38
we use you have good taste for something00:10:40
like it's it sounds a bit more00:10:42
sophisticated maybe if you both choose00:10:44
the same bottle of wine perhaps like it00:10:47
has kind of a more formal adult-ish00:10:50
sophisticated feeling about it this00:10:51
compliment00:10:52
so yeah maybe00:10:55
maybe wine is a good example of that00:10:57
yeah oh nice bottle choice like i really00:10:59
like that you have good taste you can00:11:01
follow this by the way you have good00:11:03
taste in blah blah00:11:05
you have good taste in movies you have00:11:07
good taste in music if you want to be00:11:09
specific about something that you think00:11:11
that person is really good at choosing00:11:14
you have good taste in00:11:15
noun00:11:16
okay yeah okay00:11:18
um next one is you have a great sense of00:11:21
humor you have a great sense of humor00:11:23
this is the this is the underlying00:11:25
compliment in the phrase you are so00:11:27
funny this is the underlying compliment00:11:30
you have a great sense of humor means00:11:31
the other person thinks you're funny00:11:33
that you are good at telling jokes or00:11:35
you make them laugh this is actually one00:11:38
of my favorite compliments to get you00:11:39
have a great sense of humor um00:11:42
yeah because i think that like you know00:11:45
people like to laugh so it's an if00:11:47
someone makes you laugh you can say this00:11:49
you have a great sense of humor or00:11:50
you're very funny yeah it's a good one00:11:53
it's a really good one00:11:54
um00:11:55
so you can say after a joke for example00:11:57
or00:11:58
after maybe you've you're you've00:12:00
finished laughing at something the other00:12:02
person has said you can say oh you have00:12:04
a great sense of humor good next one is00:12:07
your resume is impressive00:12:10
this is a weird compliment to say to00:12:12
your friends00:12:14
unless you're like reviewing your00:12:16
friend's resume it's a bit weird this is00:12:18
something that perhaps uh someone00:12:21
interviewing another person for a job00:12:23
would say the candidate comes in for the00:12:25
interview the interviewer says wow your00:12:28
resume is very impressive i'd like to00:12:30
ask you a few questions about it yay00:12:33
so this is good to hear in a work00:12:35
situation yeah you really probably won't00:12:38
need to use this with your friends if00:12:41
you do it's kind of weird oh wow this00:12:44
next one is quite a compliment00:12:47
nobody's ever said this man00:12:50
to be fair if somebody said this next00:12:52
one to me i would feel a little bit of00:12:53
like pressure the compliment here is you00:12:55
make me want to be a better person this00:12:57
is something that i think you see in00:12:59
movies from time to time first yeah i've00:13:02
had i had one person say like like00:13:04
uh oh that something you did inspired me00:13:07
and that was like really like oh that00:13:09
was really exciting like somebody was00:13:10
inspired by something like wow that's00:13:12
great i want to be like you that's a00:13:14
really cool compliment but if someone00:13:16
says you want to make me be a better00:13:18
person it's like oh wow like that means00:13:21
i'm really important to that person00:13:23
which is really flattering00:13:24
but at the same time if someone said00:13:27
that i would also be like00:13:29
if it's like my friend i would be like00:13:32
but i i want you to be you like i think00:13:34
you're a cool person already yeah it's00:13:36
like oh you make me want to be a better00:13:38
person like in that person's viewpoint00:13:40
you're like somehow above them and00:13:41
that's uncomfortable00:13:43
yeah just i would rather say00:13:46
you inspire me i think that that or like00:13:48
this thing that you did really inspired00:13:50
me like if somebody said like i saw that00:13:52
picture that she posted on twitter of00:13:53
that pizza today alicia and it really00:13:55
inspired me and i made my own pizza i'd00:13:57

states00:15:08
okay the second way to motivate yourself00:15:10
when you're studying english is to study00:15:13
other aspects of the culture too which00:15:15
makes it more rewarding to study english00:15:17
okay so this means of course studying00:15:20
english as a language but if there's a00:15:22
specific country that you would like to00:15:23
visit or a specific part of that00:15:25
country's culture try to learn about00:15:28
that too if you like music if you like00:15:30
the food if you like the history try to00:15:33
find something about a specific country00:15:36
or a specific part of that country's00:15:38
culture that you enjoy in addition to00:15:40
studying the language okay00:15:43
way number three to motivate yourself is00:15:45
finding funny words in english okay so00:15:48
finding a word that sounds funny or a00:15:50
word that you enjoy using or a phrase00:15:53
that you enjoy using can really increase00:15:55
your motivation for using that word and00:15:58
for interacting with people so if you00:16:00
can find those phrases that you think00:16:01
are funny or are fun they can be really00:16:04
really helpful for you as you learn your00:16:06
language the next way to motivate00:16:08
yourself is to make friends with people00:16:10
who speak english00:16:11
so of course if you don't have any00:16:13
friends who are english speakers00:16:15
especially native english speakers it's00:16:17
a really good idea to make some friends00:16:20
this way you can practice with them you00:16:22
can learn from them and you can just see00:16:24
maybe what their life is like and how00:16:26
their life is different from yours so00:16:28
this is a great way to practice a great00:16:30
way to learn and a great way to think00:16:33
more internationally as well the next00:16:35
way to motivate yourself is watching00:16:37
youtube videos of other people who have00:16:40
successfully learned english so you can00:16:43
listen to people what worked for them00:16:45
how did they study where did they go00:16:48
what materials did they use00:16:50
what did they find not helpful00:16:53
so you can try to find a strategy that00:16:55
works well for you through using00:16:58
resources like youtube for example it's00:17:00
a great way to find people00:17:02
that maybe match with what you need okay00:17:06
the next way to motivate yourself is by00:17:09
watching english movies and tv shows and00:17:11
enjoying the feeling when you can00:17:13
understand a word or a sentence yeah i00:17:16
do this too00:17:17
uh when you enjoy something when you00:17:20
find entertainment value in something00:17:22
like music movies tv and you there's00:17:25
that moment when you pick up or when you00:17:27
understand what your favorite character00:17:29
said or you understand like a key point00:17:32
in the story it's a really really good00:17:34
feeling it makes you want to continue00:17:36
watching i think so00:17:38
that's a really really nice feeling i00:17:40
think and you can do that by enjoying00:17:43
media so it's a fun way to learn and00:17:45
it's a fun feeling to experience okay00:17:48
the next way to motivate yourself is by00:17:51
reading english news articles blogs and00:17:53
magazines to get a feel for formal and00:17:56
casual language so the style that we use00:17:58
here like in english class00:18:00
101 and this on the videos on this00:18:03
channel is quite casual most of the time00:18:06
or at least in these videos it's very00:18:08
casual but the way that i speak in the00:18:10
way a newspaper is written the way a00:18:12
magazine is written the way a00:18:14
a newscaster presents the information00:18:17
these are all different ways of00:18:19
communicating we're using the same00:18:21
language yes but they are different00:18:22
styles so it's important to try to00:18:25
understand those differences00:18:27
and to become familiar with them so try00:18:30
to find a few different things that you00:18:31
can enjoy00:18:33
the next way to motivate yourself is00:18:35
after dinner you write about your day in00:18:39
a journal in english okay this is an00:18:41
interesting idea so just take a few00:18:43
minutes after dinner or before you go to00:18:45
bed to write something in english about00:18:48
what you did that day or maybe00:18:50
so you have a chance to talk about00:18:52
future tense or to use the future tense00:18:54
you can use you can talk about your00:18:57
upcoming plans or the things you're00:18:58
going to do the next day so you can talk00:19:01
about past tense what you did that day00:19:04
maybe present tense how you're feeling00:19:06
as you're writing your journal for the00:19:07
day and future tense to talk about your00:19:10
upcoming plan so journaling can be a00:19:12
really effective exercise for motivating00:19:14
you okay00:19:16
the next way to motivate yourself is by00:19:18
practicing with flashcards of useful00:19:20
words and phrases for 15 minutes every00:19:22
day on the train i actually do do this i00:19:25
use uh but i use an application to study00:19:28
in japanese to study kanji and 1500:19:31
minutes every day adds up over the00:19:33
course of a week you you can learn a lot00:19:35
of information in a short period of time00:19:38
and00:19:39
if you live in the country where00:19:42
your target language is spoken then you00:19:44
might even find the word you studied on00:19:46
the train you see it like after you00:19:49
leave the train you might see that word00:19:50
later on in your day so you can00:19:52
immediately00:19:54
feel like an extra sense of motivation00:19:56
by knowing that this thing you're00:19:58
studying is applicable it's something00:20:00
you can use right away it's a really00:20:02
cool feeling so this is a tip i honestly00:20:05
i use this last00:20:07
i make sure to thank anyone and everyone00:20:09
who corrects my english uh yeah i i00:20:12
think this is really important because00:20:14
people are really nice they don't want00:20:16
to correct you when you make a mistake00:20:18
but sometimes people do they're really00:20:20
polite about it and they tell you the00:20:22
more tell you a more natural way or they00:20:24
give you a suggestion for how to improve00:20:26
your english make sure you say thank you00:20:28
like repeat after them and then say00:20:30
thank you00:20:31
so that you know it's motivation for00:20:33
them uh to tell you again in the future00:20:37
to help you again in the future so make00:20:38
sure to say thank you to anyone who00:20:40
helps you with your english hi everybody00:20:43
my name is alicia welcome back to our00:20:45
english class channel today we're going00:20:47
to be talking about the difference00:20:48
between by and until so let's get00:20:52
started00:20:54
okay so first we're going to talk about00:20:56
buy buy marks a deadline for an action00:20:59
to finish buy marks the point where an00:21:01
action completes or is replaced by00:21:04
another action so really think about00:21:06
using buy to express a deadline00:21:09
something is going to stop or you must00:21:12
finish an action00:21:14
at this point in time so00:21:16
um we can think about by00:21:21
as marking some point in the future00:21:24
so by marked some point in the future00:21:27
where an action00:21:29
is going to finish an action is going to00:21:32
be completed so in an example sentence i00:21:35
have i'll be at the office by 7 pm so in00:21:39
this sentence the speaker is not at the00:21:42
office but00:21:44
7 pm is the deadline this is the point00:21:48
in time at which the speaker will be at00:21:51
the office the speaker is not at the00:21:54
office now but00:21:56
by 7 pm by the 7 pm deadline the speaker00:22:00
will be at the office this will shows us00:22:04
this is a future tense expression00:22:07
and by shows us the deadline the point00:22:10
at which that expression or the point at00:22:12
which that action is going to be00:22:14
completed00:22:15
so this is how we use by to think about00:22:18
it like a deadline some point in time at00:22:20
which an action will be completed or00:22:23
finished okay so let's continue on to00:22:26
the other grammar point for today which00:22:29
is until00:22:30
until also has a more casual form we can00:22:34
use till00:22:35
t-i-l-l or apostrophe t-i-l you might00:22:39
see both spellings used for until till00:22:43
or till00:22:44
in most cases it's good to use until in00:22:47
casual speaking and maybe in casual00:22:49
writing you can use the casual form but00:22:53
until is always polite and is always00:22:55
correct00:22:57
okay so when we use until let's talk00:23:00
about when to use until we use until to00:23:04
talk about a continuing situation or a00:23:07
continuing state00:23:09
now in the present or in the future00:23:12
but it's going to change or stop00:23:16
so the key difference one key difference00:23:19
here perhaps is a continuing situation a00:23:22
continuing state with bi00:23:25
the nuance is a deadline something is00:23:27
going to finish at a deadline here00:23:30
however until gives us the nuance of00:23:33
something that's continuing00:23:35
something true now for example00:23:39
but that may not be true in the future00:23:41
until00:23:42
marks the point where that action or00:23:45
that state is going to finish or change00:23:49
okay so00:23:51
we can think of it00:23:54
rather than as a deadline as a key point00:23:57
in the future somewhere00:23:59
where action a continues00:24:04
until a point where we use until and00:24:08
then a second action begins00:24:11
something is going to change at the00:24:14
until point with by however we don't00:24:17
have the nuance of an action changing we00:24:20
only have the nuance of a deadline so00:24:22
here until is used to show that00:24:25
something different is going to happen00:24:28
or something something will finish00:24:30
but there's going to be a change00:24:33
after the the until point so for example00:24:37
this sentence very similar to the by00:24:40
example sentence is i'll be at the00:24:43
office until00:24:45
7 pm00:24:47
so here we have the future tense aisle i00:24:50
will i'll be at the office until 7 pm00:24:55
this sentence shows us the speaker is at00:24:57
the office right now however00:25:01
at 7 pm00:25:03
until shows us that 7 p.m is the point00:25:06
at which00:25:08
the situation or the state is going to00:25:10
change so at 7 pm the speaker is00:25:14
probably going to leave the office00:25:17
until shows us that right here the00:25:20
action or the state is going to change00:25:23
so please keep that in mind until shows00:25:25
you a change in something bi shows more00:25:29
of a deadline for an action00:25:31
that is continuing so i hope that we can00:25:34
practice this in a few example sentences00:25:36
now00:25:38
okay00:25:39
so let's try to choose the correct word00:25:42
to use in these example sentences should00:25:44
we use buy or should we use until in00:25:47
these cases so the first one i have is00:25:50
he has to find a new job00:25:53
blah blah blah march so in this case00:25:56
we see00:25:57
a point in time00:26:00
we can think about it should we use buy00:26:02
or until here if we use buy we see that00:26:07
the deadline00:26:08
the deadline nuance matches here he has00:26:11
to find a new job by march00:26:15
if we use until he has to find a new job00:26:18
until00:26:19
march there's no information in this00:26:21
sentence that shows us a hint or that00:26:24
gives us a hint about how the action is00:26:27
going to change00:26:28
until does not make sense for this00:26:30
question so we should use buy in this00:26:33
case he has to find a new job by march00:26:36
is the correct answer for this sentence00:26:40
in the second sentence00:26:41
i'm not going to go to bed blah blah00:26:43
blah i finish this movie so in this00:26:47
sentence we have at the end00:26:49
i finish this movie so there's some00:26:52
action00:26:53
maybe that's continuing here00:26:56
and we have another action i'm not going00:26:59
to go to bed in this case it's a00:27:01
negative so there are two actions here00:27:04
this is a pretty good hint that there's00:27:06
an action that's going to change at some00:27:09
point instead of the nuance of a00:27:11
deadline so for this sentence until is00:27:15
the best answer i'm not going to go to00:27:17
bed until00:27:21
until i finish this movie this shows us00:27:24
that at this point the point where i00:27:26
finish the movie i'm going to go to bed00:27:29
this marks the change in the continuing00:27:32
state or the continuing situation00:27:35
so the next sentence is they need to00:27:38
write their reports blah blah blah00:27:40
tomorrow so this sentence there's no00:27:43
change in the sentence we don't have any00:27:45
hints about some kind of different00:27:47
action that's going to happen instead we00:27:50
have maybe what seems to be a deadline00:27:53
some requirement here too00:27:56
so if we try to use until it doesn't00:27:59
make sense there's no changing action we00:28:02
can't guess about what might happen in00:28:05
the future or a change that might happen00:28:08
so buy is the best answer here they need00:28:11
to write their reports by tomorrow00:28:13
tomorrow is the deadline so we can guess00:28:17
that tomorrow is the deadline here by00:28:19
shows us that it's the deadline in this00:28:22
case for this task00:28:24
all right00:28:25
let's take a look at something a little00:28:28
bit different here we have we can't00:28:30
leave the house blah blah blah your00:28:32
mother calls so again there are two00:28:35
situations there are two actions00:28:39
involved in this sentence we have leave00:28:41
the house and your mother calls makes a00:28:44
phone call so because there are two00:28:47
actions here00:28:49
we can guess that there's some change00:28:51
that's going to happen so because we00:28:54
learned that until00:28:56
marks a change in actions we know that00:29:00
until00:29:01
is the better answer here00:29:04
okay00:29:05
we can't leave the house until your00:29:06
mother calls would be the correct00:29:08
sentence here00:29:10
all right00:29:11
uh so let's look at the next sentence00:29:13
though this one is a tricky sentence00:29:16
this one is a little bit difficult we00:29:18
have i'm not going to be there something00:29:21
something 8 pm00:29:24
so here00:29:25
we have 8 p.m at the end of a sentence00:29:27
which looks like a deadline right00:29:30
we have uh going to be there00:29:34
so should we use by or until for this00:29:37
sentence it's difficult because actually00:29:40
both are okay for this sentence00:29:43
i'm not going to be there00:29:46
by 8 pm is correct and i'm not going to00:29:50
be there00:29:52
until 8 pm is also correct however the00:29:55
meanings are very different just as we00:29:58
practiced00:29:59
in these two sentences i'll be at the00:30:02
office until i'll be at the office by 700:30:05
pm00:30:06
the same is true here i'm not going to00:30:09
be there by 8 pm00:30:11
means i'm not going to be there at 8 pm00:30:15
it's not possible for me i can't go00:30:19
however i'm not going to be there until00:30:22
8 pm00:30:23
this sentence means00:30:25
after 8 pm or beginning at 8 pm and00:30:29
after i'm going to be there so please be00:30:32
careful in some cases both by and until00:30:35
are correct but they change the meaning00:30:38
of the sentence okay00:30:41
let's continue to another example so00:30:45
the next example sentence is also a00:30:47
little bit difficult00:30:49
it's if my date doesn't arrive something00:30:51
something 7 pm i'm leaving okay so here00:30:56
we have we do have two actions uh00:30:59
doesn't arrive my date doesn't arrive a00:31:03
negative point and i'm leaving so it00:31:06
seems like there are two actions here00:31:09
however we have this 7 pm this marks a00:31:13
deadline right so00:31:16
if my date doesn't arrive there's some00:31:20
deadline here00:31:22
if this is not uh completed00:31:26
something is going to happen the person00:31:28
is going to leave so in this case 7 pm00:31:31
is showing a deadline00:31:33
so we have to use00:31:35
buy if my date doesn't arrive until 7 pm00:31:39
we could use that00:31:41
but it doesn't sound so natural so00:31:45
the nuance again here is of a deadline00:31:47
there's something that is going to00:31:49
happen uh at 7 pm 7 pm marks the end00:31:53
point in this situation so we use buy00:31:56
here okay00:31:58
let's go to the next pair again these00:32:00
are very interesting points00:32:03
we have to leave the beach blah blah 1000:32:06
a.m00:32:07
and we have to stay at the beach blah00:32:10
blah blah 10 a.m okay so these two00:32:14
sentences i included because i wanted to00:32:17
show the emphasis of changing actions00:32:20
and continuing actions so we can see the00:32:23
verbs00:32:24
are different here in the first sentence00:32:26
we have leave so this is a change00:32:30
leaving a location in the second00:32:32
sentence i have stay which shows a00:32:35
continuing action stay in one place00:32:38
so here as you can guess then we have to00:32:41
leave the beach blah blah blah 10 a.m00:32:44
some change some deadline so00:32:47
we'll use bye to show our deadline00:32:51
in the second sentence we have to stay00:32:53
at the beach stay shows a continuing00:32:56
action00:32:57
and then it's going to finish here so00:33:00
we'll use until we have to stay at the00:33:02
beach00:33:03
until00:33:04
10 a.m this shows us a continuing action00:33:08
and maybe at 10 a.m we'll leave the00:33:11
beach00:33:12
all right00:33:13
uh let's go on to the next sentence i'm00:33:16
not going to travel abroad blah blah00:33:18
blah i learn english okay so here00:33:22
there's no time point there's no 10 a.m00:33:25
8 p.m00:33:27
uh tomorrow and so on so this is a00:33:29
little more complex maybe we have travel00:33:33
abroad and learn english so it seems00:33:36
there's no real00:33:38
deadline here00:33:40
but we have maybe a change maybe this00:33:43
shows us some kind of change learning00:33:45
english marks a change so00:33:48
i'm not going to travel abroad until00:33:52
i learn english00:33:54
this shows us that something different00:33:56
is going to happen in the future so we00:33:59
should use until to mark that change00:34:02
okay00:34:03
our last example sentence for today is00:34:05
we told him to wake up blah blah blah 600:34:09
a.m so once more our last sentence may00:34:11
be a little bit uh simple but 6 a.m00:34:15
shows us an action sort of this deadline00:34:17
you can see a lot of these use a time to00:34:21
mark a deadline for an action so here we00:34:24
told him to wake up by 6 a.m this is the00:34:27
point at which something must happen so00:34:31
we should use buy here00:34:34
okay00:34:35
great00:34:36
so those are a few example sentences00:34:39
that you can have a look at and think00:34:41
about00:34:42
when you're trying to decide whether to00:34:44
use by or until keep in mind however00:34:47
there are some cases where both by or00:34:50
until are correct00:34:52
but the meaning is going to change00:34:54
significantly depending on the one you00:34:56
use00:34:57
so i hope this lesson was useful for you00:35:00
if you have any questions or if you want00:35:02
to try to make an example sentence using00:35:04
buy or until please be sure to leave us00:35:07

ten words for connecting thoughts these00:35:30
are going to be 10 words that you can00:35:31
use to transition between ideas very00:35:34
useful in both speech and in writing00:35:37
let's00:35:38
go00:35:39
also00:35:40
also also is a word that you can use to00:35:43
add information00:35:45
i went to the store this morning also i00:35:49
went and got coffee00:35:51
that's true00:35:53
however00:35:54
however however is used to contrast or00:35:57
to contrast depending on your00:35:59
pronunciation to00:36:00
differentiate to show a difference00:36:03
between two pieces of information a good00:36:05
pattern would be a however00:36:08
b00:36:09
so for example00:36:11
i love tonkotsu ramen however it is very00:36:14
high in calories so i don't eat it often00:36:18
also true on the other hand on the other00:36:20
hand on the other hand is i feel used00:36:23
more commonly in speech than it is in00:36:26
writing00:36:27
again it's used to present00:36:29
like two sides to a story or two sides00:36:32
to some information so for example00:36:36
i'm thinking about visiting taiwan00:36:38
sometime this year but on the other hand00:36:41
i'm also thinking about visiting00:36:43
thailand00:36:44
still00:36:45
so it might be common to use still with00:36:49
the word like but or a word like even00:36:51
though so you're saying even though00:36:52
there's some other factor00:36:54
like um like i'm really really tired00:36:56
this week or even though i have a lot of00:36:58
homework to do i still want to go out00:37:00
with my friends or i still want to00:37:03
see a movie this weekend so there's this00:37:05
other there's this thing that's maybe00:37:07
makes this other action difficult to do00:37:09
or tough to do or whatever00:37:12
but even though00:37:13
there's this you still00:37:15
have this over here so maybe the two are00:37:18
kind of used as a pair i still want to00:37:20
go out later even though i'm tired00:37:23
then00:37:24
then yes a very useful word we use then00:37:27
when telling stories a lot um so for00:37:30
example if i could tell a story about my00:37:32
morning today when i got up i brushed my00:37:36
teeth and then00:37:38
i00:37:39
cooked breakfast then i did a little bit00:37:42
of work then i took a shower00:37:45
then i did some cooking blah blah blah00:37:47
you'll often hear and then as well00:37:50
and then i and then we and then you and00:37:53
so on so then is is really really useful00:37:56
for sequencing so a useful word i think00:37:59
besides besides so it's commonly used in00:38:02
a pattern like besides that meaning00:38:04
other than something else i went out00:38:06
with my friends this weekend but besides00:38:08
that i didn't really do much so another00:38:11
way to say that sentence is i went out00:38:14
with my friends this weekend but other00:38:16
than that other than that activity i00:38:19
didn't do very much00:38:21
okay meanwhile meanwhile or you might00:38:23
hear the similar expression in the mean00:38:26
time it means00:38:28
while you're doing action a00:38:31
at the same times maybe somewhere else00:38:34
action b is happening00:38:36
this is used while telling stories a lot00:38:39
so for example i was working at my00:38:41
office all week last week00:38:43
meanwhile my co-workers across town were00:38:47
having a party without me00:38:50
so these two things are happening at the00:38:52
same time00:38:54
but maybe separate from one another00:38:56
meanwhile00:38:57
likewise00:38:59
okay likewise i don't really use this00:39:02
word personally myself at all it's often00:39:04
used after an introduction00:39:06
um00:39:07
similar to the pleasure is all mine in a00:39:10
formal situation so00:39:12
maybe somebody says you know hey it was00:39:15
really great to see you last weekend00:39:16
thanks very much for coming to my00:39:18
barbecue you can say yeah likewise it00:39:21
was really good to see you in your00:39:23
family so likewise means i have the same00:39:26
feeling or i have the same idea it's00:39:29
kind of a friendly phrase but personally00:39:31
i don't really use that to transition00:39:33
between thoughts00:39:35
um i would just use and i suppose but00:39:38
no00:39:40
that's how i would use it00:39:41
instead00:39:42
instead so00:39:44
so instead it's used like instead of i00:39:47
want to00:39:48
a instead of be00:39:50
can be used to express your plans or00:39:52
what you want to do i want to have00:39:54
chinese food instead of italian food00:39:56
tonight so you're presenting two00:39:58
alternatives essentially so instead of00:40:00
means in place of or as a substitute for00:40:04
so00:40:05
i00:40:06
should have drank a lot of water00:40:09
this morning but instead i drank a lot00:40:12
of coffee00:40:13
that's true00:40:15
uh i wanted to00:40:17
have dinner with my friends this weekend00:40:20
instead i had dinner at home00:40:25
in addition in addition this is a really00:40:28
good word for more formal situations i00:40:31
like to use in addition in writing i00:40:34
don't really use in addition in speaking00:40:37
unless i'm trying to be very formal for00:40:39
some reason00:40:41
similar to additionally as well so you00:40:43
make point a and point b and then when00:40:46
you want to make one more point that's00:40:47
related to point a and point b you can00:40:49
say in addition point c so you're like00:40:52
building an argument and in addition can00:40:55
be used to kind of finish that argument00:40:57
off a little bit our new marketing plan00:41:00
worked really well last month we noticed00:41:02
increased sales in product a in addition00:41:06
uh we've gained a lot of new customers00:41:08
something like that so just you're00:41:10
quickly presenting a series of ideas00:41:13
that are related to one another you can00:41:15
use in addition to finish it off 2000:41:17

earth uh i think that's where palm trees00:42:50
tend to grow it's kind of an image of00:42:52
the beach00:42:53
so palm trees00:42:55
there are a lot of palm trees near the00:42:57
beach in california00:42:58
that palm tree is almost 60 feet tall00:43:01
seashell00:43:02

start to have trouble if there's an00:44:48
accident at the beach the lifeguard at00:44:51
the beach is responsible for handling00:44:53
that problem so they'll call an00:44:55
ambulance or they know how to do first00:44:58
aid to save people00:45:00
so in a sentence it's important to go to00:45:03

if it gets dirty or sandy usually a00:46:21
beach chair is easy to fold or easy to00:46:24

castles or these really complicated00:46:52
mazes or something they make things make00:46:54
buildings out of sand we call those sand00:46:57
castles00:46:58
um so in a sentence my brother and i00:47:00

when we were kids that's true in this00:47:05
sentence get the buckets and we'll make00:47:07
a sand castle cooler00:47:09
so cooler is a noun in this case cooler00:47:13
is the place you keep your drinks and00:47:15
your food it's a it looks like a00:47:17
suitcase but it has a special lining00:47:20
inside that keeps cold things cold so00:47:24
you can put ice inside and it will keep00:47:26
your food and drinks cold while you are00:47:29

tide and low tide high tide means the00:47:55
water level at the beach is high low00:47:58

how high or low the water is in this00:48:05
sentence uh the tide ebbed and revealed00:48:08
a starfish ebbed means it went away a00:48:11
little bit so tide is the flow of water00:48:14

so tan is uh00:48:17
we use it as a noun like to get a tan in00:48:20
a sentence it means that your skin turns00:48:24
a darker color so um be careful there00:48:26
are two words we use in english tan00:48:29
means your skin gets a little bit darker00:48:31
and we also use the word sun burn or00:48:34
just burn00:48:35
burn means your skin gets red it means00:48:37
like it's damaged it maybe your skin00:48:40
peels a bit so00:48:42
in america anyway in the u.s anyway a00:48:44
tan is usually considered a positive00:48:47
thing many people want uh tan skin but00:48:51
sun burn where your skin is red and00:48:53
damaged is bad so be careful those are00:48:56
two different words we use to talk about00:48:58
this the changing skin color i got a tan00:49:01
last summer at the beach in this00:49:03
sentence you got such a nice tan in00:49:05

fun snorkeling is swimming but you have00:49:13
a like a hose you have a pipe00:49:15
that you can breathe through as you swim00:49:17
so you can you usually put goggles you00:49:20
wear goggles as you're swimming in the00:49:22
ocean you can look down and see fish or00:49:25
you can see things in the ocean but you00:49:27
can still breathe so this is a really00:49:29
fun thing to do to look at fish or just00:49:32
to just to hang out and see a different00:49:34
point of view i went snorkeling for the00:49:37
first time maybe when i was 22 23. in00:49:41
this sentence she bought goggles so that00:49:43
she could go snorkeling in hawaii00:49:46
flip-flop the next word is flip-flop00:49:49

like in california i know especially in00:50:03
beach towns everybody just wears00:50:04
flip-flops it's very comfortable00:50:06
so flip-flops kind of have an image of00:50:08
being a little bit cheap or just very00:50:11
very simple it's it's the most basic00:50:13
possible sandal why are they called flip00:50:16
flops because i always thought it was00:50:18
because of the sound that they make00:50:21
sound i guess maybe it sounds like00:50:22
flip-flop in a sentence i usually don't00:50:25
wear flip-flops in this sentence these00:50:27
flip-flops keep breaking00:50:29
sunscreen next word is sunscreen00:50:32

block these are00:50:37
products you can put on your skin to00:50:39
prevent00:50:40
a tan or to prevent a sunburn00:50:43
sun screen so it's a protection it's a00:50:46
protection against the sunlight i just00:50:48
hit this screen so sunscreen is00:50:51
quite important like it is said that you00:50:54
should use sunscreen to prevent to help00:50:56
prevent skin cancer in a sentence i'm00:50:58
out of sunscreen i need to buy more in00:51:01
this sentence mom i don't need sunscreen00:51:04
bikini00:51:05

but bikini is usually a swimsuit for00:51:14
women and it's00:51:16

upper half and oftentimes the the top00:51:20
half of the bikini or sometimes the00:51:22
bottom half you have to tie a knot or00:51:24
you have to latch something i suppose if00:51:27
you don't tie it carefully it can create00:51:29
a problem like it could fall off so00:51:31
bikini it's a popular style of swimsuit00:51:33
for women are you going to wear your00:51:35
bikini to the beach tomorrow in this00:51:37
sentence my bikini came undone in front00:51:39
of everyone it was so embarrassing five00:51:42
sentence patterns that you can use as a00:51:45
beginner of english let's go the first00:51:48
expression that you can use as a00:51:50
beginner is personally i think that or i00:51:53
would just use i think that personally00:51:56
makes it sound a little bit more polite00:51:58
i think you can use this to introduce an00:52:01
opinion for example personally i think00:52:04
that pizza is amazing personally i think00:52:07
that dinosaurs00:52:10
would have been delicious00:52:12
personally i think that00:52:15
cars should be00:52:19
made00:52:20
to00:52:21
enjoy00:52:23
with friends00:52:26
okay i'm gonna edit there00:52:28
personally i think that you shouldn't00:52:29
worry about it yes that's probably a00:52:31
much more useful sentence than dinosaurs00:52:33
would be delicious00:52:35
the next expression is what does blah00:52:37
blah blah mean so where here is the word00:52:40
you don't know so for example what does00:52:43
pasta mean what does00:52:47
stegosaurus mean so a word like00:52:49
stegosaurus is a really strange word00:52:52
that you probably don't know stegosaurus00:52:54
is a type of dinosaur we're on a very00:52:56
dinosaur00:52:57
i don't know00:52:58
jurassic we're on a jurassic adventure00:53:00
at the moment so this is a pattern you00:53:02
use when you don't know00:53:04
uh when you don't know the meaning of00:53:06
the word and you would like someone to00:53:07
explain it to you so if you say what00:53:09
does stegosaurus mean then someone can00:53:11
say oh it's a dinosaur it's kind of like00:53:14
it's a sort of short guy it has a bunch00:53:16
of spikes on its back and it has a long00:53:18
tail and it gets into a fight with the00:53:19
tyrannosaurus rex if you saw the movie00:53:21
fantasia by disney00:53:24
okay00:53:26
so00:53:27
in this sentence what does complication00:53:29
mean it means problem okay00:53:32
the next pattern you can use is can you00:53:34
tell me more about blah blah blah so on00:53:37
a topic that you would like more00:53:39
information about you can say can you00:53:42
tell me more about the soccer game last00:53:44
week can you tell me more about the00:53:47
plan for the party next week so00:53:49
something you would like more00:53:50
information about you can say can you00:53:53
tell me more about this thing okay so in00:53:57
a sentence can you tell me more about00:53:59
your00:54:00
sandwich options00:54:02
that is a useful sentence that is a00:54:04
useful sentence okay in this sentence00:54:07
here we don't have that back home can00:54:10
you tell me more about it00:54:12
this is use the reverse pattern00:54:14
okay00:54:15
uh the next expression is if it were up00:54:18
to me if it were up to me i had to teach00:54:20
this in a class a couple weeks ago00:54:22
actually if it were up to me means if i00:54:25
could make the decision if this was my00:54:27
if this were my decision00:54:29
uh blah blah blah so meaning if i could00:54:32
make the choice this is what i would do00:54:35
but one point here is the nuance is it00:54:39
is not my decision this is not my00:54:41
decision but if it were my decision i00:54:45
would do blah blah blah so for example00:54:47
if it were up to me every day would be00:54:50
saturday00:54:52
but it's not right so00:54:54
um00:54:55
that's that's always the underlying00:54:57
that's always the kind of basic00:55:00
nuance of this phrase some this decision00:55:02
is not mine okay here the example is if00:55:06
it were up to me00:55:07
i would00:55:09
take my boss to dinner00:55:11
oh my00:55:13
things just got scandalous00:55:16
the next pattern is i feel like blah00:55:19
blah you can use i feel like when you00:55:22
introduce a suggestion or something that00:55:24
you would like to do especially for food00:55:27
drinks or activities so for example i00:55:29
feel like coffee i feel like italian00:55:32
food i feel like an action movie there's00:55:34
some activity or something you would00:55:36
like to do at the end of this pattern i00:55:39
feel like bowling this afternoon00:55:42
something needs to go here some sort of00:55:44
activity00:55:45
of course00:55:47
you can use this expression to talk00:55:49
about your feelings i feel like00:55:51
something but this something must be a00:55:54
noun it must be a noun like if you feel00:55:57
really great i feel like a million bucks00:56:01
for example00:56:02
if you feel really bad i feel like00:56:06
garbage00:56:08
that's a nice expression that somehow00:56:10
just came out of my head anyway00:56:12
you can use this in two ways but this00:56:14
must be completed with a noun phrase at00:56:17
the end of the sentence 10 things to do00:56:19
in the summer in the united states so00:56:22
let's go to travel abroad to travel00:56:26

travel to a place not the united states00:56:35

this expression so many of my students00:56:40
will say this00:56:41
summer i'm going europe you need to use00:56:44
two before the place you do not however00:56:47
need to use two before there so like00:56:50
students sometimes will say uh i want to00:56:53
go to there you can't do that you have00:56:56
to use two before the specific name of a00:56:58
place there is not a specific place so00:57:01
you don't need to use two keep that one00:57:04
in mind to relax at the beach00:57:06
to relax at the beach ah that sounds00:57:09
fantastic right now to relax at the00:57:11
beach you go to the beach and you just00:57:14

means to sit in the sun or lay in the00:59:14
sun and let the sun00:59:17
change the color of your skin be careful00:59:19
there's there are two expressions in00:59:21
english there is one to get a tan and00:59:24
another is to get a sun burn so in us00:59:28
culture anyway getting a tan means like00:59:30
your skin turns like a darker brown00:59:32
color but when it turns red it's bad00:59:35
that means you've burned your skin so00:59:38
tan good burn bad so we'd have two00:59:41
separate words to describe that in a00:59:43
sentence you'll find me poolside getting00:59:46
a tan00:59:47
to go hiking the next expression is to00:59:49

in this sentence i'm going to hike the01:00:05
pacific crest trail01:00:07

have your summer vacation it's a chance01:00:19
for you to earn a little bit of money by01:00:21
working at a part-time job01:00:24
in a sentence unfortunately she can't go01:00:26

summer but which you can do01:00:51

because it sounds like maybe you missed01:01:20
something in regular school01:01:22
but for some people maybe there's a01:01:24
special course they want to attend or01:01:26
like a special internship program or01:01:28

father father father is the person who01:01:56
did not give birth to you but who01:01:59
helped make you happen01:02:02
so we say father dad daddy paw pop my01:02:05
father is a very level-headed person01:02:07
that's also true sister sister is a01:02:10
female sibling so my brother might say i01:02:13
have an older sister anyone who is01:02:16
yeah01:02:17
a female sibling or someone you can use01:02:19
this for friends that you feel very very01:02:21

like sister you can use brother for any01:02:35
male that you feel is similar to a01:02:38
brother someone you feel very close to01:02:40
so he's like a brother to me or you're01:02:43
like my brother grandmother grandmother01:02:46
when you put grand plus something else01:02:49
it means the next generation or the the01:02:52
previous generation so you have your01:02:54
mother and father in this case grand01:02:56
mother means your mother or your01:02:58
father's uh mother it can be either of01:03:00
them so grandmother my grandmother was01:03:04
born a long time ago01:03:06
grandfather grandfather so just like01:03:09
grandmother01:03:10
your mother or your father's father is01:03:12
your grandfather my grandfather liked to01:03:15
play tennis that's true uncle uncle your01:03:19
uncle is either your mother or your01:03:21
father's brother someone uh directly01:03:25
related to one of your parents who is a01:03:27
man is your uncle uh my uncle is very01:03:30
good with woodworking also true01:03:33
aunt01:03:34

cousin cousin a cousin01:03:52
is01:03:53
your aunt or uncle's children it can be01:03:56
on any side so typically these people01:03:59
are of the same generation as you not01:04:01
always but cousins are generally about01:04:03
the same age at least in my family they01:04:06
are it's really fun to see all my01:04:08
cousins at family barbecues nephew01:04:11
nephew a nephew is a sibling's01:04:14
male child so if you have a brother or a01:04:18
sister and they have children any male01:04:21
children are your nephews nephews01:04:24
i don't have any nephews01:04:26
niece01:04:27
niece niece so your brother or your01:04:30
sister's female children01:04:32
any female children they have you can01:04:34
say she's my niece or i have two nieces01:04:37
how many nieces do you have or i have a01:04:39
lot of nieces01:04:41
wife01:04:43
wife so this is a01:04:45
female partner that you are married to01:04:49
she is my wife or how is your wife wife01:04:52
is only used when you are married to01:04:55
that person husband husband is a male01:04:58
that someone is married to so uh01:05:02
how is your husband this is my husband01:05:04
again husband is only used when you are01:05:06
married to that person01:05:08
parent parent parent it's typically used01:05:12
generally for a mother or a father like01:05:14
i'm a parent he is my parent she is my01:05:16
parent01:05:17
it's often used in the plural they are01:05:20
my parents these are my parents my01:05:22
parents are home my parents are not at01:05:24
home01:05:25
but you can also use parent to describe01:05:27
someone who raised you so maybe your01:05:29
biological mother or father did not01:05:32
raise you but someone else like an aunt01:05:34
or an uncle or perhaps a different01:05:36
figure in your community did raise you01:05:38
you can say she's like a parent to me or01:05:40
she had a parenting role in my life01:05:44
child child child is a01:05:48
a small human a small human as a child01:05:51
it doesn't necessarily have to be of01:05:53
your family like if you're just at the01:05:55
park and you see kids running around you01:05:57
can say ah look at that child you can01:06:00
use a child in the singular but be01:06:02
careful child changes in the plural form01:06:05
to children so not childs but children01:06:09
one child two children please be careful01:06:11
this has an irregular plural form maybe01:06:14
i'll have a child someday son01:06:17
son is a male child a male offspring01:06:21
my01:06:23
uncle has a lot of sons that's not true01:06:26
daughter daughter a daughter is a female01:06:29
child i wonder if i will ever have a01:06:32
daughter brother-in-law brother-in-law01:06:35
so we use in-law to mean our married01:06:38
partners family members01:06:41
not my brother but my partner's brother01:06:43
in-law is used after any family member's01:06:46
position or family member's title01:06:49
to show they they belong to my partner's01:06:52
family originally but now they're part01:06:54
of my my extended family as well i'm01:06:57
going out for drinks with my01:06:58
brother-in-law tomorrow night01:07:00
father-in-law01:07:01
father-in-law so we have in-law here01:07:04
meaning01:07:05
my partner's father so my father-in-law01:07:08
is very kind01:07:10
mother-in-law01:07:11
mother-in-law meaning my partner's01:07:14
mother in a sentence my mother-in-law01:07:16
and i get along really well01:07:18
hi everybody my name is alicia today i'm01:07:21
going to be talking about the simple01:07:24
future tense today i'm going to talk01:07:26
about will and won't and going to and01:07:31
not going to so these are a few grammar01:07:34
points that learners make mistakes with01:07:36
when should you use will or won't when01:07:38
should you use going to or not going to01:07:41
so i'm going to talk about a few of01:07:43
these points a few basic points that i01:07:46
hope can help you decide when to use01:07:49
will and when to use going to so let's01:07:51
begin01:07:53
okay01:07:54
the first point i want to talk about is01:07:56
going to or not going to uh the positive01:08:00
form and the negative form going to not01:08:03
going to01:08:04
uh for today i want to talk about two01:08:07
times when we'll use these grammar01:08:10
points so the first time uh the first01:08:13
situation where you use going to or not01:08:16
going to is for plans decided before the01:08:20
conversation so if you make a decision01:08:23
about your future plans or someone else01:08:26
makes the decision before the01:08:28
conversation about their plans for the01:08:30
future you should use going to or not01:08:34
going to01:08:35
it's something that is probably going to01:08:38
happen a high certainty01:08:41
so this is a plan that has a high level01:08:43
of certainty meaning there's a good01:08:46
chance this plan is going to happen you01:08:49
decided it before the conversation01:08:52
meaning you've probably had some time to01:08:54
plan uh your future to plan your01:08:57
schedule a little bit so please use01:09:00
going to for something you decide before01:09:02
the conversation so on a timeline it01:09:06
might look like this we have past01:09:08
now and future here01:09:11
so your plan is for the future yes01:09:15
but01:09:16
you decided01:09:18
on the plan sometime before the01:09:21
conversation so if this point this is01:09:24
now this is your conversation you made01:09:27
the plan you made the decision before01:09:30
the conversation in this case01:09:34
use going to i'm going to at the01:09:36
beginning of this video i said i'm going01:09:39
to talk about simple future tense will01:09:41
and going to i decided before this video01:09:45
started01:09:46
about my plans i decided what i was01:09:48
going to talk to you about before the01:09:50
video started so i used going to to01:09:54
introduce that plan01:09:55
uh so please keep this in mind okay but01:09:58
let's talk about will now so01:10:01
we use will and won't for decisions that01:10:04
are made at the moment of speaking01:10:07
so keep in mind will is the positive01:10:09
form won't is the negative form here so01:10:13
a decision made at the moment of01:10:15
speaking this is one way to use will or01:10:18
won't01:10:19
you can use this for example at01:10:21
restaurants you can use this to talk01:10:24
about plans you make quickly after01:10:26
learning information from a friend keep01:10:30
in mind will and won't01:10:32
tends to have a lower certainty there's01:10:35
a lower chance the plan is going to01:10:38
happen01:10:40
because you've made the plan at the01:10:42
moment of speaking going to is used for01:10:45
plans made before the conversation but01:10:48
will is used for a plan made spur of the01:10:50
moment or a very quick plan you've just01:10:53
made so that's kind of the image is the01:10:56
decision you just made01:10:58
use will or use won't in those cases if01:11:01
you made the decision before the01:11:03
conversation there's a good chance you01:11:05
should use going to01:11:07
so01:11:09
to go back to our timeline here if going01:11:12
to is used for a decision you made in01:11:14
the past about your future plans01:11:18
will01:11:19
is used for a decision01:11:21
you make in the conversation during the01:11:24
conversation the plan01:11:26
can be any time in the future01:11:29
but the decision01:11:31
the point at which you make the decision01:11:35
is the difference here01:11:38
one point about this two points about01:11:40
this actually first will01:11:42
if you've made a decision at the moment01:11:44
of speaking and you therefore should use01:11:47
will to communicate that decision you01:11:49
can improve or you can communicate that01:11:52
there's a high chance01:11:55
it's going to happen with the word01:11:57
probably01:11:58
so01:11:59
here01:12:05
i'll show you this in an example01:12:06
sentence in a moment but you can use01:12:08
probably with will and won't i'll01:12:10
probably i probably won't remember that01:12:14
order though i'll probably or i probably01:12:17
will or probably won't01:12:20
point number two i want to mention about01:12:22
both of these grammar points is to make01:12:25
your pronunciation a little more natural01:12:28
try shortening both of these expressions01:12:31
going to shortens to gona g-o-n-n-a01:12:35
gonna i'm gonna i'm not gonna this01:12:38
sounds much more natural at least than01:12:40
american english01:12:42
for will and for won't01:12:44
when you use will use the contracted01:12:46
form with your subject for example i01:12:49
will becomes isle you will becomes yule01:12:53
they will becomes veil using the01:12:55
contracted form sounds a lot more01:12:57
natural in everyday conversation it's01:13:00
correct to say you will they will but it01:13:03
sounds really stiff and unnatural so01:13:05
please use the contracted form to sound01:13:08
a bit more natural you can use the01:13:11
contracted form with probably for will01:13:13
i'll probably they'll probably wheel01:13:16
probably these are all01:13:18
pretty good okay so let's practice using01:13:21
them01:13:22
all right01:13:23
first example sentence maybe something01:13:26
something go hiking tomorrow so how do01:13:29
we know01:13:30
is this a will sentence or a going-to01:13:33
sentence we have a hint here maybe maybe01:13:37
so meaning there's a low level of01:13:39
certainty perhaps a low chance that this01:13:42
is going to happen so01:13:45
let's say maybe01:13:48
i'll go hiking tomorrow this is probably01:13:51
the best answer maybe i'm going to01:13:54
while you can communicate the idea yes01:13:58
it sounds like you decided your plan01:14:00
before the conversation01:14:02
but you're using maybe so it doesn't01:14:05
quite match instead use aisle maybe i'll01:14:07
go hiking tomorrow01:14:09
okay01:14:10
let's look at the next sentence i'm01:14:13
there's a big hint here a grammar hint01:14:15
i'm something something go to france01:14:18
next year so next year this go to france01:14:22
next year this is a pretty big decision01:14:25
most people probably01:14:27
would not make this decision at the01:14:29
moment of speaking so we should use01:14:32
going to01:14:36
i'm going to go to france next year this01:14:39
is the correct01:14:40
use of going to in this case a decision01:14:43
made before the moment of speaking and01:14:45
there's a high level of certainty here01:14:48
okay01:14:49
uh let's look at the next one i decided01:14:52
here's a hint past tense decided if you01:14:54
watched a different video01:14:56
oops i decided01:14:58
that i'm something something go out for01:15:02
dinner i'm too tired okay so past tense01:15:06
this shows us a big hint past tense01:15:09
decided01:15:10
this implies the decision was made01:15:13
before the conversation01:15:17
so i'm something something go out for01:15:20
dinner i'm too tired here's another hint01:15:23
so go out for dinner and too tired01:15:26
this should probably be01:15:28
i'm not01:15:30
going01:15:32
to go out for dinner i'm too tired01:15:35
so this person has decided01:15:38
i'm not going to go out for dinner we01:15:41
should use going to the negative not01:15:43
going to because the speaker made the01:15:46
decision before the conversation happen01:15:49
and there's a high level of certainty01:15:52
there's a high chance that this is going01:15:54
to happen so we should use going to in01:15:57
this sentence okay01:16:00
okay so the next sentence i included01:16:02
because i think it's a really good one01:16:04
to remember anytime you visit a bar a01:16:07
restaurant some kind of service01:16:08
situation you can use this pattern01:16:11
specifically to make a request for01:16:13
something so let's take a look01:16:16
here my example sentence is i something01:16:19
something have a glass of wine please in01:16:22
this case maybe it's at a restaurant or01:16:24
at a bar01:16:25
but in this case you've just made the01:16:28
decision looking at the menu01:16:30
looking at a catalog looking at01:16:33
something01:16:34
you made a decision01:16:36
just then at that moment and you're01:16:38
asking for that item you're asking for01:16:40
that service so01:16:43
we'll use01:16:45
will i'll have a glass of wine please01:16:48
so in this example sentence i used glass01:16:50
of wine to show my request to ask for a01:16:54
glass of wine but if you want to use01:16:56
this pattern to make a request in a01:16:58
service situation just replace glass of01:17:01
wine with the item or service that you01:17:04
would like so for example i'll have a01:17:06
beer i'll have a steak i'll have a01:17:09
hamburger these are all things you can01:17:11
order at a restaurant or at a bar01:17:14
if you're shopping you can say i'll have01:17:16
the blue one please for example so just01:17:19
make your request01:17:21
using the same pattern but replacing01:17:23
that glass of wine section that i used01:17:26
in my example sentence01:17:28
okay next one uh this one is maybe a01:17:32
little bit challenging uh it's you're01:17:35
running late so you something something01:17:38
have to take a taxi to your next meeting01:17:41
so maybe this is an assistant or someone01:17:44
supporting another person with their01:17:46
schedule01:17:47
okay so in the next sentence we're01:17:50
looking at a situation where there's01:17:52
been a sudden or quick change to a01:17:54
schedule someone is running late and01:17:57
there's a new decision that's made at01:17:59
the moment of speaking or a new decision01:18:01
is made to reflect the new situation so01:18:04
let's take a look01:18:06
you're running late so01:18:08
you'll01:18:10
or you will01:18:12
have to take a taxi01:18:14
you could say uh you're running late so01:18:17
you have to take a taxi but maybe this01:18:19
is a future plan something that's going01:18:22
to happen in an hour from now maybe this01:18:25
is something01:18:27
the speaker is planning for01:18:30
later in the day so you will is a nice01:18:33
way to use that you're running late so01:18:35
you'll have to take a taxi01:18:38
to the next meeting okay01:18:41
the last one i want to talk about this01:18:42
uses probably which i mentioned over01:18:45
here so probably remember we can use01:18:47
probably to sort of improve or we can01:18:51
use probably to communicate a higher01:18:54
level of certainty with the decision we01:18:56
made at the moment of speaking so01:18:59
here01:19:00
you're not going to the party then i01:19:03
probably something something go either01:19:06
okay so either is a big hint here01:19:09
remember we use either to show agreement01:19:13
but negative01:19:15
okay so in the last example sentence for01:19:17
today we're going to look at a situation01:19:20
where the listener has heard some new01:19:23
information they use the expression01:19:25
you're not going to go to the party so01:19:27
they're confirming new information they01:19:30
have just heard01:19:32
after that they're going to make a01:19:34
decision about what their plans are for01:19:36
the party so let's take a look01:19:40
we know that probably01:19:43
can be used with will and won't01:19:46
and we know01:19:48
from then01:19:49
the speaker just made this decision01:19:52
and we know it's a negative with either01:19:55
so01:19:56
we should use01:19:57
won't01:19:59
you're not going to go to the party01:20:02
then i probably won't go either01:20:05
so the speaker uses uh won't hear to01:20:08
show a decision made at the moment of01:20:10
speaking but the speaker also uses01:20:12
probably won't to show there's a high01:20:15
chance that this is going to happen01:20:18
there's a high chance that this is the01:20:19
future plan probably won't okay so01:20:23
there's a lot of information01:20:24
communicated there with small words like01:20:27
then and either and probably as well so01:20:30
please keep this in mind when you're01:20:32
trying to decide when to use will won't01:20:35
going to and not going to okay01:20:39
so01:20:40
uh so that's my recap of a few useful01:20:43
grammar points how to talk about your01:20:45
future tense plans01:20:47
so i'm going to finish the lesson now01:20:50

bye bye01:21:26
hi everybody my name is alicia today01:21:28
we're going to be talking about simple01:21:30
past tense we're going to talk about how01:21:32
to make simple past tense statements in01:21:35
english so let's get started okay01:21:38
so first let's talk about when we should01:21:41
use the simple past tense simple past01:21:44
tense statements for today01:21:46
are for actions that started and ended01:21:49
in the past so these are things that01:21:51
both started or began and ended in the01:21:55
past both of those must be true to use01:21:58
simple past tense01:22:00
the second point for today is these are01:22:02
actions which happened at a specific01:22:05
point in time so a specific point in01:22:08
time can be yesterday it can be01:22:12
an hour ago it can be last year it can01:22:15
be when you were a kid all of these are01:22:18
a specific point in time but the key is01:22:20
that we know when the action happened so01:22:24
a specific point in time is point two01:22:26
for this grammar point01:22:29
third uh we can use simple past tense01:22:32
for repeated actions in the past so01:22:35
things you did every week or every month01:22:38
or every year every summer every hour if01:22:41
you like but one point about this01:22:44
make sure to include a frequency01:22:47
indicator if you want to talk about an01:22:49
action that repeated in the past01:22:51
frequency indicator01:22:53
for example i just mentioned a few every01:22:55
week every month every year so frequency01:22:58
meaning how often an indicator shows how01:23:02
often you did that so you can use01:23:04
repeated actions with past tense to show01:23:08
let's see something you did a lot in the01:23:11
past for example so to give you a visual01:23:14
uh the past is down here now is this point01:23:17
here and future is up here01:23:20
when we use the simple past tense it's01:23:23
an action that started01:23:25
and ended01:23:26
in the past somewhere before now that's01:23:30
one it's at a specific point in time so this01:23:34
action and this action we know when they01:23:37
happened it could be this morning it01:23:39
could be01:23:40
yesterday for example but we know when01:23:42
these actions happen01:23:44
third we can use for repeated action so01:23:47
maybe these actions repeat01:23:50
but we know01:23:53
when the repetition happened we know01:23:55
when we repeated these actions so it's01:23:58
okay to use simple past tense to01:24:00
describe those okay01:24:02
so now we know uh when we should use01:24:06
simple past tense we know why we should01:24:08
use simple past tense but how do we make01:24:11
simple past tense statements so when you01:24:14
want to use the simple past tense to01:24:16
explain an action that happened in the01:24:19
past you need to conjugate your verb you01:24:22
need to change your verb so that means01:24:24
when you're using a regular verb you do01:24:27
verb plus ed so verb plus e d is the01:24:32
basic form for simple past tense verbs01:24:35
uh but keep in mind this is only for01:24:38
regular verbs not all verbs are regular01:24:40
verbs so for example some common ones01:24:43
are talk which becomes talked01:24:46
start which becomes started and enjoy01:24:49
which becomes enjoyed please be careful01:24:51
however you'll notice that the past01:24:54
tense form of verbs has a few different01:24:56
pronunciations so for example start01:24:59
becomes started it has an id sound it's01:25:03
not an ed sound but an id sound you01:25:06
might hear a word like walked also which01:25:09
has a sort of t sound about it walk01:25:12
becomes walked started becomes started01:25:15
and id sound and then there's also a01:25:17
sound like in breathed a very soft d01:25:20
sound so there are three past tense verb01:25:23
sounds to listen for an id sound started01:25:26
a soft d sound like breathed and then a01:25:30
more hard t sound like walked so pay01:25:33
attention to that when you're trying to01:25:34
make these past tense verb conjugations01:25:38
okay01:25:39
but01:25:40
some verbs are irregular verbs irregular01:25:43
verbs do not have a simple rule for01:25:46
understanding past tense conjugation how01:25:49
to change them in past tense there's no01:25:52
rule for these you simply have to01:25:54
practice you have to remember them read01:25:57
them listen to them01:25:59
until you can remember the correct01:26:01
conjugation the correct way to change01:26:04
these verbs into the past tense so for01:26:07
example some common ones are eat which01:26:09
becomes eight01:26:11
speak becomes spoke and make becomes01:26:16
made01:26:17
if you see a verb somewhere that that01:26:19
seems a little odd or you're not sure01:26:21
what the present tense form would be you01:26:24
can check a dictionary and try to01:26:25
remember it from there so01:26:27
now we've talked about simple past tense01:26:30
irregular and regular verbs let's try to01:26:32
use them to make some sentences i01:26:34
prepared a few example sentences so01:26:37
let's take a look01:26:38
okay first sentence he something01:26:41
something a towel and sunglasses to the01:26:44
beach so the verb here is bring i want01:26:46
to use the verb bring01:26:48
bring however is an irregular verb so i01:26:51
can't use the ed rule for regular verbs01:26:55
the correct conjugation is brought01:26:57
b-r-o-u01:26:59
g-h-t he brought a towel and sunglasses01:27:03
to the beach this is the correct01:27:04
conjugation here so bring is an01:27:06
irregular verb01:27:08
okay01:27:09
let's go to the next sentence they01:27:11
something something to the gym every day01:27:14
last week so here i'm showing you a01:27:17
repeated action here i'm using everyday01:27:19
this is a frequency indicator how often01:27:22
did i do that action and last week shows01:27:25
the specific point in time so i'm using01:27:28
both of these two points in addition to01:27:32
a simple past the basic simple past01:27:35
structure here so the verb that we want01:27:37
to use here is go but go is an irregular01:27:40
verb so we can't use goad for example go01:27:44
changes to went in the past tense so01:27:47
went is the correct answer for this01:27:49
sentence here okay01:27:51
let's try the next one01:27:53
i something something to tell my boss01:27:55
about my schedule01:27:58
so the verb i want to use here is forget01:28:01
forget is a very useful word i think to01:28:03
remember but again forget is not a01:28:06
regular verb forget is an irregular verb01:28:09
so we cannot use the ed form forget in01:28:13
the past tense becomes forgot01:28:16
okay01:28:18
so i forgot to tell my boss about my01:28:21
schedule it's the correct sentence here01:28:24
all right let's go to something a little01:28:26
bit different uh here's a negative01:28:28
sentence i don't think they something01:28:31
something a reservation at the01:28:33
restaurant okay so here i'm using a01:28:37
phrase i want to use the phrase make a01:28:39
reservation to make a reservation so the01:28:42
verb here is make this was one of my01:28:45
example verbs for the irregular form so01:28:48
make becomes made i don't think01:28:52
they made01:28:53
a reservation at the restaurant is the01:28:56
correct verb form to use here all right01:28:59
uh the next sentence we something01:29:01
something junk food almost every day01:29:04
last month so here again i have uh every01:29:08
day but i have almost here so almost every01:29:11
day not every day but close to every day01:29:15
and then last month last month is my01:29:17
specific point in time in this case so01:29:21
here we have junk food that means that01:29:23
the verb we want to use is probably eat01:29:26
and we learn that eat01:29:28
is an irregular verb there's no rule for01:29:31
conjugating this we just know that eat01:29:34
becomes eight we ate junk food almost01:29:36
every day last month01:29:38
great okay01:29:40
so next sentence01:29:42
has two spaces for verbs actually okay01:29:46
so the next sentence that i've prepared01:29:48
i included because a lot of my students01:29:50
ask about how to report information when01:29:53
you want to report information share01:29:56
something that you heard from a friend a01:29:59
past tense action you need to conjugate01:30:02
the reporting verb for example say01:30:04
becomes said or hear becomes heard you01:30:07
need to conjugate this verb and you need01:30:10
to conjugate the information that you01:30:12
heard so there are two past tense01:30:14
conjugations that should happen when you01:30:17
report information let's take a look so01:30:20
here we have she something something she01:30:23
something something a great time at the01:30:26
party so here01:30:28
she blah blah blah a great time at the01:30:30
party01:30:31
so we use the expression to have a great01:30:35
time to have a great time again have is01:30:38
an irregular verb so we conjugate it to01:30:41
had she had01:30:45
a great time at the party okay01:30:48
but then to report your speech so01:30:51
someone01:30:52
gave you information past tense give01:30:55
becomes gave you information01:30:58
so the verb for giving information a01:31:00
neutral way to pass information is say01:31:04
so01:31:05
to conjugate say into the past tense01:31:07
it's an irregular verb so we use sed say01:31:11
becomes said so01:31:13
she01:31:14
said01:31:16
she had a great time at the party okay01:31:19
please be careful of your pronunciation01:31:21
with the word said a lot of people i've01:31:24
heard use said say it is not correct so01:31:27
please use sed it sounds like s-e-d the01:31:30
pronunciation01:31:32
but it's said s-a-i-d is the spelling01:31:35
say becomes said she said she had a01:31:38
great time at the party okay01:31:41
so last one01:31:43
okay so the last example sentence for01:31:45
today includes spaces for a few01:31:47
different verbs i included this because01:31:49
i wanted to show you that you can use a01:31:52
lot of different information in one01:31:54
sentence just by connecting your past01:31:56
tense verbs together so let's take a01:31:58
look01:31:59
okay yesterday i something something01:32:02
late something something shocking and01:32:05
something something to my mother okay01:32:08
so the verbs i want to use for this01:32:10
sentence are sleep go and speak sleep go01:32:15
and speak these are all01:32:17
irregular verbs there are no regular01:32:19
verbs in this sentence so01:32:22
sleep in past tense becomes slept01:32:26
go in past tense becomes went01:32:31
and speak in past tense becomes spoke01:32:35
so here in one sentence i have i have01:32:38
explained three things about my day01:32:40
yesterday01:32:41
uh yesterday i slept late i went01:32:44
shopping and i spoke to my mother so you01:32:47
can explain a lot of things with past01:32:49
tense and a few connecting words in this01:32:52
case i've just used and to connect the01:32:54
last two things in this sentence so01:32:56
please keep this in mind when you're01:32:58
sharing information about your past01:33:01
events01:33:02
so today we talked about the simple past01:33:04
tense and we talked about how to01:33:06
conjugate both regular and irregular01:33:09
verbs it might seem a little bit01:33:10
difficult to understand which verbs are01:33:12
regular and which verbs are irregular01:33:15
but with some practice it will become01:33:17
easier so i hope that you enjoyed this01:33:19

questions too01:34:29
so01:34:30
let's get started do you like american01:34:33
food the first question is do you like01:34:35
american food you will probably be asked01:34:38
this question do you like american food01:34:40
you can either say yes or no01:34:42
or you can give a specific example01:34:44
someone says do you like american food01:34:46
yes i love philly cheesesteaks i would01:34:48
recommend saying01:34:50
yes or a little01:34:52
or01:34:53
or or you can just say i don't know what01:34:55
do you recommend01:34:56
have you been to the united states the01:34:58
next question is have you been to the01:35:00
united states have you been to the01:35:01
united states so someone asks you have01:35:03
you been to the united states you should01:35:05
reply with either yes i have or no i01:35:08
haven't or maybe no i haven't yet but i01:35:12
want to when you want to ask someone01:35:14
this question you can say have you been01:35:15
to japan have you been to egypt have you01:35:17
been to china whatever you can use your01:35:20
own country when you ask this question01:35:22
how are you how are you when someone01:35:24
asks how are you01:35:25
don't say i'm fine thank you and you01:35:28
please don't say that please say01:35:30
something more natural like good01:35:33
great i'm good how are you something01:35:35
like that is much better than i'm going01:35:37
thank you and you be a little more01:35:39
genuine in your reply also when you ask01:35:42
this question maybe one point to help01:35:43
you sound a little more natural when you01:35:45
ask someone else don't like try to say01:35:47
how are you how are you instead of how01:35:49
are you or01:35:51
and make make sure your intonation is01:35:52
correct i've had a few people ask me uh01:35:55
how are you like a little too01:35:58
yeah with this question or like how are01:36:00
you but how are you should be the01:36:03
intonation with this how are you how are01:36:05
you is a little bit more natural01:36:08
how long have you been studying english01:36:10
how long have you been studying english01:36:12
how long have you been studying english01:36:14
great question to know the answer to01:36:16
your answer should be i have been01:36:18
studying english for blah blah blah01:36:20
years or blah blah blah months or blah01:36:22
blah weeks but if that's too much for01:36:24
you you can just use the time how long01:36:26
have you been studying english six years01:36:28
how long have you been studying english01:36:30
two months so just pick the time uh if01:36:33
if the whole sentence is quite long for01:36:34
you01:36:35
how old are you we don't really go01:36:37
around asking people how old they are01:36:39
like just the first time you meet them01:36:41
necessarily especially if they're older01:36:44
much older than you like in particular01:36:46
it's sometimes considered rude to ask01:36:48
especially women how old they are so01:36:50
just be careful with this question01:36:52
but if you're about the same age group01:36:54
you know maybe you're at an event or a01:36:55
party or something and you just want to01:36:57
check how old the other person is you01:36:58
can use this phrase when you reply to01:37:00
this just say01:37:02
uh i'm plus the number to make a really01:37:05
simple response so how old are you i'm01:37:07
15 how old are you i'm 42. whatever the01:37:10
answer is just stick i'm in front of it01:37:13
not i but i'm i am but use the01:37:15
contracted form to sound more natural01:37:17
i'm number if you want to make a full01:37:19
sentence you can say i'm number years01:37:22
old don't forget that s in years i'm01:37:25
a million years old what did you say01:37:29
what did you say if you couldn't quite01:37:30
hear something that someone else said01:37:32
you can use this question to confirm01:37:34
sorry what did you say it's a little01:37:36
nicer than just saying what01:37:38
what did you say or what did you just01:37:41
say sorry what did you say i couldn't01:37:43
hear you01:37:44
what's this01:37:45
what's this when you don't know what01:37:47
something is what's this when you're out01:37:49
for dinner you're out for lunch or01:37:50
something and you find a new food or you01:37:53
just you're curious just say what's this01:37:55
to reply to this question just say it's01:37:57
blah blah blah what's your name what's01:38:00
your name of course you should know how01:38:02
to ask this question and how to answer01:38:04
this question what's your name is a01:38:06
little more natural than what is your01:38:08
name again contracted form will help you01:38:10
sound much more natural so what's your01:38:12
name someone asks you you can just give01:38:14
your name alicia that's fine you can say01:38:16
alicia you can say i'm alicia that's01:38:19
fine too you could say my name is or my01:38:22
name's alicia01:38:24
either any of those are fine in a more01:38:27
formal situation a business situation i01:38:29
would i would use my name is blah blah01:38:31
blah while i shake hands or something01:38:33
what's your phone number the next one is01:38:36
what's your phone number i would not ask01:38:38
this question right away like maybe01:38:40
you've met the person a few times but01:38:42
you'd like to contact them whether it's01:38:43
because you're romantically interested01:38:45
in them or because you want to be better01:38:46
friends with them but just01:38:48
if you meet someone for the first time01:38:51
and you're like what's your phone number01:38:52
it's like a little01:38:55
it's a little too much so use this01:38:57
question after you've met the person a01:38:58
few times and you know you want to01:39:00
become better friends when you want to01:39:02
give your phone number just say it's and01:39:04
the number that's fine just it's blah01:39:06
blah blah or my phone number is blah01:39:09
blah blah with the number 555 one01:39:11
million and five two six01:39:14
when is your birthday so maybe you wanna01:39:16
plan a birthday party for example or01:39:17
it's just another fun question the first01:39:19
time you meet someone when is your01:39:20
birthday so when you want to tell01:39:22
someone your birthday just give the01:39:24
month and the date01:39:26
january 15th august01:39:28
42nd01:39:30
that's a real day if you want to make a01:39:32
full sentence you can say my birthday is01:39:34
month date01:39:36
where are you from the next word the01:39:38
next question is where are you from this01:39:40
can refer to your country or your city01:39:43
but i i feel like prob more stuff and it01:39:45
refers to your country so where are you01:39:47
from your answer should be i'm from01:39:49
place i'm from china i'm from japan i'm01:39:52
from vietnam i'm from america whatever01:39:55
i'm from01:39:57
where did you learn english the next01:39:59
question is where did you learn english01:40:01
where did you learn english if you're01:40:03
speaking great english you can say i01:40:05
learned english at englishclass101.com01:40:08
because you did because you're watching01:40:10
now01:40:11
anyway where did you learn english in01:40:13
this case in the case of like these01:40:15
videos i learned english online or i01:40:17
learned english from01:40:19
and then the school name or the program01:40:20
name so i learned english from01:40:22
englishclass101.com for example if you01:40:24
studied english at university you can01:40:26
say i learned english at university or i01:40:29
learned english from my friends perhaps01:40:32
where do you live where do you live01:40:34
depending on the situation where you're01:40:36
asked this this can mean your country01:40:38
like uh i live in america i live in01:40:41
china sometimes it's about the place in01:40:43
the city where you live sometimes it's01:40:45
about the country where you live so you01:40:47
can kind of feel i think which question01:40:48
which type of question is being asked01:40:50
where do you work where do you work is01:40:53
talking about your job you can use the01:40:56
pattern i work at company name or i work01:41:01
for01:41:02
company name either is fine i work at01:41:05
abc company i work for abc company01:41:07
either is okay but you know if if you01:41:10
have answered with the wrong information01:41:12
the other person will just ask you like01:41:13
oh i mean where is your office or oh i01:41:15
mean which company do you work for use01:41:17
the force for this one01:41:19
where is the bathroom where is the01:41:21
bathroom very important question where01:41:23
is the bathroom in american english01:41:25
where is the bathroom or where is the01:41:26
restroom is more common than where is01:41:28
the toilet using the word toilet is a01:41:31
little bit too direct in american01:41:32
english so i recommend bathroom or01:41:34
restroom so those are 15 questions that01:41:37
you should definitely know know how to01:41:39

thunderdome in my stomach01:42:11
that's going at the end of a video i'm01:42:13
sure01:42:14
hi everybody my name is alicia and today01:42:16
i'm joined again in the studio by01:42:18
michael hello and today we're going to01:42:20
be talking about bad habits in english01:42:23
so these are some things that we've01:42:25
heard before or mistakes that native01:42:27
speakers and non-native speakers of01:42:29
english make and that drive us crazy so01:42:32
let us01:42:33
begin01:42:35
you start what's your first01:42:38
thing um this doesn't bug me too much01:42:41
until01:42:43
someone points it out about me and then01:42:45
it drives me nuts01:42:48
yeah okay once you tell someone that01:42:51
they say01:42:52
um01:42:53
or like01:42:55
too much then every time they say it01:42:57
they notice it and it's really hard to01:42:58
get a thought out because these are01:43:00
filler words that you almost always use01:43:02
or i always use maybe americans always01:43:03
use but01:43:04
it's yeah it's really tough not to use01:43:06
the word like or um i think when you're01:43:08
just speaking casually right01:43:10
yeah right well yeah i mean like01:43:14
right now see why did you have to make01:43:16
it the first word why did you have to01:43:18
make it the first one actually we talked01:43:20
about that we have a video i think01:43:22
probably like a year ago one of the01:43:24
english weekly words videos where uh the01:43:27
word like was one of the words that01:43:29
americans overuse uh i don't i don't01:43:31
know where that information came from01:43:33
but um that was see oh my god now i'm01:43:35
suddenly aware of it why oh my god01:43:39
this whole thing i'm gonna be thinking01:43:40
about how often i say liking them okay01:43:42
let's see i'm gonna go to one that i01:43:45
think all of us talked about and all of01:43:46
us were aware of before we even turned01:43:48
the camera on but um this is a this one01:43:51
is written this is a written problem01:43:52
that drives me nuts and there are so01:43:54
many variations on this with other words01:43:56
but this is the big one your y-o-u-r01:43:59
this is a do not equal sign y-o-u01:44:01
apostrophe r-e so this one your y-o-u-r01:44:06
is a possessive word this is your shirt01:44:09
your bag your whatever01:44:11
y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e01:44:13
is a contracted form of u-r01:44:16
interestingly enough though i will say01:44:18
that i rarely see non-native speakers of01:44:21
english make this mistake most of the01:44:23
time it's native speakers who make this01:44:25
mistake01:44:26
come on guys01:44:28
really01:44:29
i just it just drives me nuts yeah that01:44:32
one really drives me nuts that one bugs01:44:34
me too because it's it's really simple i01:44:36
mean there's another one that still kind01:44:38
of bugs me but i'm more forgiving is01:44:39
it's and it's01:44:41
because they're both01:44:42
i-t-s01:44:44
and one of them has an apostrophe and in01:44:47
both cases01:44:48
it seems reasonable because you can use01:44:50
an apostrophe for possessive or for a01:44:52
contraction so both seem reasonable and01:44:56
you just have to do like you know01:44:57
mnemonic device figure it out there's01:44:58
rules i'm sure there's a01:45:00
you know english language english class01:45:01
101 episode on it you know no apostrophe01:45:04
is the one that's the possessive the01:45:06
apostrophe s is the one that's stored01:45:07
for it has or it is01:45:09
right01:45:11
but it makes sense it's kind of tough01:45:12
for some people to remember um01:45:14
you or you're in your that that really01:45:17
upsets me yeah just because it's so easy01:45:18
it's simple that and uh there we talked01:45:20
about this earlier before this that01:45:22
they're there and there the possessive01:45:24
t-h-e-i-r01:45:26
for that's their house that's their dog01:45:28
t-h-e-r-e it's over there and t-h-e-y01:45:32
apostrophe-r-e they are they're three01:45:35
different there there theirs sound the01:45:37
same but they have different meanings01:45:39
and they should be spelled differently01:45:41
too so come on native speakers01:45:43
get us together01:45:44
okay all right next one for you what's01:45:46
your next one01:45:48
ah along the same lines of being uh just01:45:51
like correct01:45:52
could of so i think the problem with a01:45:54
lot of these words01:45:56
is so it's supposed to be could have01:45:59
but when you're speaking the language01:46:00
any language you you make it quicker and01:46:03
quicker and you kind of slur the words01:46:04
together so like for example grandma01:46:08
or grandma you like native speakers you01:46:10
don't really say the d you say grandma01:46:12
grandma and so as a kid i thought that's01:46:14
how you spelled it and i remember01:46:15
spelling g-r-a-m-m-a01:46:17
someone told me no that's not it01:46:19
so could have it makes sense why people01:46:21
would say could've but it doesn't it's01:46:23
not proper and you shouldn't get in the01:46:24
habit of doing it i think most of these01:46:26
things you can be forgiving when they're01:46:27
kids but it's best to to nip it in the01:46:29
bud01:46:30
because01:46:31
you know it just becomes a bad habit01:46:34
yeah and i mean with could have there is01:46:37
a correct contracted spelled version01:46:39
it's just could of apostrophe v e01:46:42
could've i mean01:46:43
i would argue that it's more casual and01:46:44
it's perhaps not the most correct01:46:47
thing to write i would i probably would01:46:49
just write could have i probably01:46:50
wouldn't use the contracted form so much01:46:53
use of contractions will make you sound01:46:55
more casual if you want to write a01:46:56
formal letter you should i i feel you01:46:58
should not use contractions if you're01:46:59
writing an academic paper as well don't01:47:01
use contractions01:47:03
spell it out spell the whole thing out01:47:04
you'll sound much more formal and more01:47:06
at least in my mind more educated01:47:08
all right uh great this topic is getting01:47:11
me all like01:47:14
fancy okay let's see i'm gonna go to01:47:17
okay another another pronunciation issue01:47:19
that i feel like almost is cool now01:47:24
okay01:47:26
let me ask you a question01:47:28
this pronunciation okay so i've written01:47:31
acts on this card but the it's01:47:34
ask ask let me ask okay so this lemmy01:47:38
which we talked about in a previous01:47:39
video which is short for let me i've01:47:41
contracted it here to the very casual01:47:43
lemmy um but i've used lemmy here01:47:45
because this is this is typically said01:47:47
in a very very casual setting let me ask01:47:49
you a question01:47:50
but the pronunciation of ask should not01:47:52
be ax it's ask let me ask you a question01:47:56
i want to ask you something it's not ax01:47:59
it's ask01:48:00
ask yeah this one01:48:02
again so like lemmy lemmy is okay i01:48:04
think most people say lemmy i think01:48:06
that's okay but for some reason acts i01:48:08
think a lot of these just are not even01:48:10
close at all let me when you say it01:48:12
really fast it sounds like lemmy i mean01:48:15
right but when you say01:48:17
ax it's just totally wrong well it's01:48:19
reversing the the consonants in the word01:48:21
ask right it's not faster you're not01:48:23
making it quicker you're not slurring or01:48:25
making you know putting it into one01:48:27
little like fluid blob01:48:28
it's just you just switch the two01:48:31
uh yeah syllables similarly i hear this01:48:34
with the word uh asterisk as well the01:48:36
little star that's on like the number01:48:38
eight on your keyboard or whatever that01:48:40
this looking thing it's not an asterisk01:48:43
or what i don't even know it's asterisk01:48:45
so01:48:46
overpronunciation so this one is kind of01:48:49
the opposite direction so this whole01:48:51
time we've been kind of nitpicking when01:48:54
you use the incorrect version of a word01:48:57
i think overpronunciation can also be01:49:00
equally as damaging but instead of01:49:01
making you look stupid it makes you look01:49:03
pretentious so for example01:49:05
we don't say in english we don't use all01:49:07
of the syllables with chocolate so it's01:49:09
choc like when you spell it chocolate01:49:15
and so like maybe in spanish or01:49:16
something like that they would still say01:49:17
that like chocolate or something01:49:19
whatever but with english we took it out01:49:21
and so even though you still spell all01:49:23
of those syllables native speakers now01:49:25
say chocolate chocolate or like01:49:28
comfortable01:49:30
comfortable that's how it's spelled but01:49:32
native english speakers we say01:49:34
comfortable01:49:36
and this is like now it's it's01:49:38
i think it's like unanimous so maybe01:49:40
when it becomes when slang becomes so01:49:42
popular that it's part of the new01:49:43
language the language is now evolved if01:49:46
you don't go with the flow even though01:49:47
it's incorrect i think you sound01:49:49
pretentious that's a great one i like01:49:51
that a lot all right uh i'm gonna01:49:54
wrap it up i have two actually i'll just01:49:57
i think i can do them quickly though do01:49:58
you have any more by the way01:50:00
no no okay then i'll go quickly um these01:50:02
are two the my last two are just a01:50:04
couple that my students actually01:50:05
struggle with um so maybe this this is01:50:07
something that you can work on as well01:50:09
um this one just an example sentence i01:50:12
want to go to there i've underlined the01:50:14
word to here01:50:17
we use the word too when we're talking01:50:19
about a specific city or a specific01:50:20
country like i want to go to new york i01:50:22
want to go to europe01:50:24
but there is not a specific location i01:50:26
want to go to there uh is is not a01:50:29
specific place so we you don't need to01:50:31
use two in this sentence i want to go01:50:33
there it's perfectly fine so this is a01:50:35
mistake that um non-native speakers it01:50:37
seems seem to make from time to time01:50:40
um perhaps okay uh and then another one01:50:43
that i've heard a lot recently is this01:50:45
phrase uh in case of and then a country01:50:49
so for example in case of china in case01:50:52
of egypt or whatever01:50:54
where someone is trying to explain like01:50:56
the political situation or a policy in01:50:58
that country uh in case of in case of um01:51:01
but actually you don't need to use kasib01:51:04
just in china in europe in japan01:51:09
whatever you don't need to use kasiv01:51:11
this pattern in case of is used for like01:51:14
an emergency situation or used uh to01:51:16
talk about01:51:17
alternate plans often to to do with01:51:20
weather so for example in case of rain01:51:23
the event will be cancelled or in case01:51:25
of tornado please01:51:27
go to your nearest evacuation center i01:51:30
don't know something like that so it's01:51:32
used for like an emergency situation01:51:34
it's not used to talk about01:51:36
policies in the countries just use in01:51:38
plus the place it's much better much01:51:40
more natural so those are a few things01:51:42
that i've noticed that non-native01:51:43
speakers uh struggle with sometimes so01:51:46
perhaps they'll be helpful for you as01:51:48
well so thanks very much for watching if01:51:50
you have a bad habit that you've noticed01:51:52
when you're speaking english or01:51:54
if you've noticed a bad habit and01:51:55
somebody else in their english speaking01:51:57
or their writing or whatever please01:51:59
leave it in a comment and let's compare01:52:01
it might be interesting to see if there01:52:03
are any other things that people tend to01:52:04
struggle with thanks very much for01:52:06
watching this episode and we will see01:52:07
you again soon bye01:52:10
hi everybody my name is alicia and today01:52:12
we're going to be talking about 10 of01:52:14
the hardest words to pronounce according01:52:15
to you guys so we collected some01:52:17
information from you on facebook thanks01:52:19
very much for sending in your ideas and01:52:20
these were the top 10 uh most difficult01:52:23
words for you to pronounce so let's get01:52:25
started absolutely01:52:27
absolutely absolutely might be tough to01:52:30
pronounce absolutely means 10001:52:32
absolutely is01:52:34
an agreement phrase are you going to01:52:36
that music event next week absolutely01:52:38
yes 100 definitely absolutely01:52:42
loot like a loot l-u-t-e01:52:46
big rime01:52:47
the grime apparently means dirty i've01:52:49
never heard nor used this word before01:52:52
but perhaps it's01:52:53
difficult to pronounce big grime the01:52:56
door to my apartment was begrimed in the01:52:58
storm last week01:53:00
breakfast01:53:01
the next word is breakfast breakfast is01:53:04
hard to pronounce but that is the01:53:05
meaning of breakfast you're breaking the01:53:07
fast so a fast is a period of time01:53:09
without eating and to break means to01:53:11
just well in this case breaking01:53:13
something it doesn't refer to like01:53:15
crushing01:53:16
a thing but um stopping something to01:53:19
break the fast of01:53:21
the night in other words so you're01:53:22
fasting during the night you're not01:53:24
eating so you wake up in the morning you01:53:25
break the fast but we don't say01:53:27
breakfast we say breakfast in a sentence01:53:29
this morning for breakfast i ate01:53:31
a bowl of cereal with grapes and i had a01:53:34
coffee too01:53:36
colleague01:53:37
colleague yes colleague many of my01:53:39
students struggle with this they say01:53:41
colleague or they say call you01:53:44
or something because the spelling of01:53:45
this word is really really strange01:53:47
there's that g-u-e at the end or more01:53:49
commonly i feel it's just co-worker01:53:51
colleague sounds slightly more formal to01:53:53
me than co-worker somebody who you work01:53:55
with or somebody who you have a business01:53:57
relationship with in some sense could be01:53:59
a person from another company could be01:54:01
somebody from your own company anyone01:54:03
who you do business dealings with is01:54:04
your colleague can be your colleague in01:54:06
a sentence i'm going01:54:08
to a networking event with my colleagues01:54:11
next week01:54:12
miscellaneous01:54:14
that misc miscellaneous it's just the01:54:17
spelling i think maybe is confusing for01:54:19
this word miscellaneous miscellaneous01:54:21
just means01:54:22
other stuff or just other uncategorized01:54:25
stuff i keep a lot of miscellaneous01:54:28
items in a drawer in my house maybe they01:54:31
don't they don't really fit into one01:54:32
category like it's not kitchen things01:54:34
it's not clothing it's just sort of a01:54:37
mixture of of things miscellaneous01:54:39
things negotiation the next word is01:54:42
negotiation negotiation yeah there are01:54:44
two t's in this but neither t is a hard01:54:47
t they're both very soft that sh sound01:54:49
because they're followed by the i and01:54:51
another vowel that she01:54:52
a01:54:53
negotiation negotiation refers to a01:54:56
compromise between two people you're01:54:58
trying to make a decision and you01:55:00
negotiate in this case it's a noun form01:55:02
negotiation business negotiations01:55:04
continued for more than a month with01:55:06
this important deal01:55:08
realm01:55:09
realm i see why this one's hard it's01:55:11
that rome part little01:55:13
realm it's a weird word isn't it it's01:55:15
used to talk about just like the kind of01:55:17
a fantasy world is sort of the nuance of01:55:18
this phrase the realm uh in a sentence01:55:21
let us go to the realm where the01:55:24
elves live and eat their bread01:55:27
unfortunately the next word is01:55:29
unfortunately unfortunately01:55:32
unfortunately it just means too bad uh01:55:35
you can use this to to start bad news01:55:37
for example like unfortunately i can't01:55:39
come to work today because i'm sick or01:55:41
unfortunately i broke my arm at the01:55:44
basketball game last week or01:55:45
unfortunately01:55:47
my haircut is bad01:55:50
vocabulary vocabulary vocabulary vocab01:55:54
vocabulary vocabulary01:56:00
vocabulary just refers to the01:56:03
uh words in a language my vocabulary in01:56:06
my second language is really really low01:56:08
i need a bigger vocabulary so that i can01:56:10
express myself more clearly world01:56:13
world01:56:14
ah i see why this one's hard world world01:56:17
hard to pronounce that rld i think01:56:20
together is tough plus that w at the01:56:22
beginning as well it's such a short word01:56:24
but you have to say so many weird things01:56:26
at the same time whirled your tongue is01:56:28
going01:56:29
[Music]01:56:31
like this in a sentence i have traveled01:56:33
all over the world and the best food is01:56:36
in01:56:39
my stomach that's the end so those were01:56:41
10 hard to pronounce words give them a01:56:44
try slowly at first and just kind of try01:56:46
to work up to saying it at a more01:56:48

hi everybody my name is alicia and i'm02:02:01
here in the studio today with michael02:02:03
hello02:02:04
and today we're going to be talking02:02:05
about things that every american kid02:02:07
knows so let's get right into it these02:02:09
are going to be things that we think02:02:10
that maybe02:02:12
now i imagine02:02:14
most or all american kids are aware of02:02:16
or have done to some degree02:02:19
so let's compare why don't you start us02:02:21
off um02:02:23
ah this is a good one i think everybody02:02:25
knows this everybody still should know02:02:27
this is the magic word02:02:30
so usually when you want to like get02:02:31
someone to say please you're trying to02:02:33
teach little kids uh02:02:35
how to be polite teach them proper02:02:37
manners and so you say what's the magic02:02:38
word02:02:39
and they say please so like for example02:02:41
hey mom can i have a cookie02:02:44
what's the magic word can i have a02:02:46
cookie please and then you give them the02:02:47
cookie yep yep it's it's better than02:02:49
saying say please i feel like saying02:02:51
what's the magic word is i don't know02:02:53
it's kind of like a more fun way to to02:02:55
tell kids like be polite you know02:02:57
say please and thank you kind of02:02:58
hypocritical to be like say please yeah02:03:01
well that's not very polite mom yeah02:03:03
yeah that's true nice nice one okay good02:03:06
uh all right i'll go to my first one i02:03:08
picked02:03:09
okay you'll see in a second maybe what i02:03:11
picked um let's start with let's see oh02:03:15
i'll start with this one02:03:16
i think kids probably all over the world02:03:18
are aware of this one or some variation02:03:20
i don't know what it's called many02:03:21
different languages but hide and seek um02:03:23
hide and seek is a very very02:03:26
basic game i mean the the game is02:03:28
explained pretty much here hide and seek02:03:30
so a bunch of kids hide and then one02:03:32
person usually seeks or looks for all02:03:34
the other kids um so this was one of02:03:37
those games that you'd play with a group02:03:38
of friends or even just you know like02:03:40
with one of your siblings uh if you02:03:42
don't have a whole lot of people um but02:03:44
um the basic concept of the game is02:03:47
one or more people hide and then a few02:03:49
seconds later you go look for those02:03:51
people um02:03:53
i i assume that you played this game i02:03:55
assume that every child played this game02:03:57
hours and hours and hours spent playing02:03:59
this game so i mean there's different02:04:01
variations of the game but like you have02:04:03
a home base usually and so that's where02:04:05
the person starts and you usually count02:04:06
to like what 30 100 yeah something like02:04:09
that yeah yeah and so you close your02:04:10
eyes the person who's it and they okay02:04:12
one two three and then when you are02:04:14
finished you say ready or not here i02:04:16
come and you try to find them um02:04:19
and then if you are hiding02:04:21
and you make it to the home base and you02:04:22
touch it you're free you made it you win02:04:24
yeah um02:04:26
or like02:04:27
i don't know multiple people can win02:04:28
it's it's really like a young young kid02:04:29
game yeah like i don't think i played it02:04:31
after nine years old yeah i think maybe02:04:34
around junior high school was probably02:04:36
the last time that i played it yeah okay02:04:38
uh hide and seek yeah play hide and seek02:04:41
if you haven't i don't know i bet it'd02:04:42
be fun as an adult too in the right in02:04:44
the right situation make it a drinking02:04:46
game something like that you said it so02:04:48
i didn't have to okay um let's go to02:04:51
your next one what's your next one um02:04:53
i guess talking about games02:04:56
thumb war02:04:58
thumb02:04:59
so i think most people do this around02:05:00
the world they they know the thumb war02:05:02
which is like02:05:04
like this and you you try to catch them02:05:07
but the thing that not everyone knows is02:05:09
and i think every american kid knows is02:05:11
you say02:05:12
one two three four i declare a thumb02:05:15
more ready go yeah did you not have02:05:17
already go i don't remember that last02:05:19
part i had to ready go okay and then you02:05:21
try to get him so yeah you try to you02:05:22
try to fight02:05:24
you keep the other person's thumb down02:05:27
in retrospect that's not a very good02:05:28
game is it nah yeah these are all02:05:30
terrible game02:05:32
yeah yeah i did it too though i did it02:05:34
too though but like02:05:36
people would always people would always02:05:38
kind of like get a little bit too into02:05:40
it and then they'd sort of like kind of02:05:41
try and rip their hands out of like02:05:42
right or do the you use this finger you02:05:44
cheat what is that called the hook like02:05:46
no hooks am not aware of that so like02:05:48
this02:05:49
and then you use this finger so you're02:05:50
trying to do it it's hard and then you02:05:53
ha you just cheat basically so yeah it's02:05:55
stupid game for little kids basically02:05:56
there's like it's like tic tac toe you02:05:58
can play it like a million times02:06:00
and usually you get a tie it's just like02:06:02
something to do when the teacher's02:06:03
talking and it's just easy you don't02:06:05
need a ball you're just kind of like02:06:06
okay let's play them02:06:08
you're a terrible child orange yeah i02:06:09
was pretty bad never listen02:06:11
okay02:06:12
all right i'm gonna go to my next one02:06:14
another game i picked duck duck goose02:06:19
yes02:06:20
yeah02:06:22
as i was writing this card i was02:06:23
thinking to myself why is it called duck02:06:25
duck goose of all things okay so the02:06:26
game is very very simple i think you02:06:29
need you need a group of people for this02:06:30
one though but uh you form a ring a ring02:06:33
of children usually and then there's one02:06:35
person who walks around the outside of02:06:36
the ring and they touch each each person02:06:39
on the head as they walk by and say duck02:06:41
duck duck and then randomly this one02:06:44
person will select one child and say02:06:47
goose you're the goose and so if you are02:06:49
chosen as the goose you have to get up02:06:52
and chase the other person around the02:06:54
circle02:06:55
and try to get back to your the place02:06:57
where you were sitting down before them02:06:59
no you have to tag them right02:07:01
the the person who02:07:03
was going duck duck duck and then goose02:07:06
they try to run around the circle and02:07:08
steal your spot right and you if you're02:07:10
fast enough you can run around and if02:07:11
you tag them then they keep going and02:07:13
you get your spots too right right so02:07:15
it's it's it's like a seated version of02:07:17
tag almost but i don't know why we call02:07:19
it duck duck goose yeah no clue i don't02:07:22
know okay02:07:24
so this one is actually i think it's02:07:26
like from02:07:27
scotland or something i don't know i02:07:28
forgot i looked it up but02:07:30
eeny meeny miny moe so usually when02:07:33
you're trying to decide who let's say02:07:35
you want to play hide and seek02:07:37
and you don't know who's gonna be the02:07:38
one who's it so then you'll go eenie02:07:41
meenie miney moe02:07:43
catch a tiger by his toe if he hollers02:07:46
make him pay a thousand dollars every02:07:50
day okay you're it and there's a few02:07:51
variations of that02:07:53
um pretty much everyone knows that i02:07:54
still use it to this day honestly02:07:58
most people shorten it though because02:07:59
the tiger the whole tiger thing is quite02:08:01
long so i think eeny meeny miny moe it's02:08:04
just a rhyme to choose someone i mean02:08:05
you could flip a coin or do like rock02:08:08
paper scissors or something like that02:08:09
but for whatever reason we do this eenie02:08:11
meenie miney moe thing02:08:13
did you ever do nose goes02:08:15
uh02:08:16
as a child no as an adult for a drinking02:08:18
game02:08:20
see this is the yes all the things that02:08:22
were like children's games become adult02:08:24
drinking games when you grow up02:08:26
slowly get perfect very very mature okay02:08:29
uh my last one is truth or dare um02:08:33
perhaps this is um more for like junior02:08:36
high school and high school age when you02:08:39
start getting a little bit more like02:08:42
curious is maybe the right word02:08:45
so the game is um you have there are two02:08:47
choices that you can make this game02:08:48
truth where your friends will ask you a02:08:50
question and you have to reply with the02:08:53
truth to that question so usually truth02:08:55
is like who's who's the person that you02:08:57
like or do you want a boyfriend or do02:08:59
you want a girlfriend usually it's02:09:00
something like that if you don't choose02:09:02
truth then you have to choose dare so02:09:04
dare02:09:06
is the choice where your friends get to02:09:08
tell you to do something and it's02:09:09
usually something crazy02:09:11
um so you either have the option of02:09:13
being in other words humiliated by02:09:15
sharing something secret or humiliated02:09:17
by doing something embarrassing um it's02:09:20
a it's a fun game of humiliation to play02:09:22
with your friends um02:09:24
i i've i have some i actually have some02:09:26
good memories playing this game nothing02:09:27
nothing like bad really just really02:09:30
really silly stuff actually like singing02:09:32
weird songs in front of like my my02:09:34
friend's parents that kind of thing02:09:35
right put underwear on your head or02:09:36
something yeah yeah yeah the one i02:09:38
remember that just came to mind is they02:09:39
told me i was like okay dare and then02:09:41
they said to uh go outside act like a02:09:44
cow get on all fours and take a big02:09:46
mouthful of the grass and chew it02:09:48
so that was kind of that's a creative02:09:50
dare yeah yeah that was like that's why02:09:51
i still remember it because usually02:09:52
they're just kind of like i dare you to02:09:54
like i don't know drink too much ketchup02:09:56
or something i don't know just something02:09:57
kind of uh-huh i don't know i was pretty02:09:59
good i'm drinking too much ketchup no02:10:01
maybe i've never heard that wearing too02:10:03
much ketchup is that that's too much02:10:05
ketchup02:10:06
i decided two tablespoons is adequate02:10:09
it's like the and you win02:10:13
sorry every every time all right uh i'm02:10:16
out i think maybe you're out okay great02:10:19
so those are a few things that perhaps i02:10:22
think most if not all american kids know02:10:24
or are aware of a lot of them were games02:10:27
maybe you have similar games in your02:10:29
country so if you uh if you've had some02:10:31
interesting experiences playing these02:10:33
games or if you have a game that's02:10:35
similar um to one of the games or one of02:10:37
the02:10:38
ideas that we've talked about here02:10:40
please let us know in a comment and it'd02:10:41
be interesting to compare any other02:10:43
ideas that's about it that's about it02:10:46
okay well thanks very much for joining us for02:10:48
this episode of english topics and we02:10:50
will see you again soon take care bye02:10:53
hi everybody welcome back to top words02:10:55
my name is alicia and today we're going02:10:57
to talk about 10 different ways to02:10:58
remember words so these are actually02:11:01
some ways to remember words that you02:11:03
have sent in to us so i'm really excited02:11:06
to see what your recommendations are i02:11:08
study other languages so let's talk02:11:10
about it let's see02:11:11
i associate new words with words that02:11:13
sound similar in my native language if02:11:16
you're studying english02:11:17
your native language might share some02:11:20
words so like i'm studying japanese and02:11:23
for example the word chocolate sounds02:11:25
very very similar in in japanese so in02:11:28
english the word is chocolate in02:11:30
japanese the word is chocoreto so it02:11:32
sounds similar so that's an easy word02:11:34
for me to remember i learn about the02:11:36
roots of words and how different words02:11:38
are related to each other many words in02:11:41
english have roots in02:11:43
very very old languages like latin so a02:11:46
word like omniscient for example can be02:11:49
broken down into maybe two parts02:11:51
the omni omni meaning all or everything02:11:54
and shint the sheen part relates to02:11:57
knowledge or knowing so together the02:11:59
word means all knowing omniscient maybe02:12:02
you can guess the meaning even if it's02:12:04
the first time you've seen the word okay02:12:06
i listen to songs and memorize the02:12:08
lyrics this is also a common way to to02:12:11
help kids learn things too through songs02:12:14
opposite of b plus or minus the square02:12:17
root b squared minus four is e all over02:12:19
2a it's a quadratic function equation02:12:22
because it's a song it's still in my02:12:24
head thank you mrs time02:12:26
i often watch tv or youtube videos that02:12:29
are designed for young children that's02:12:31
how children in the native language02:12:33
learn so it's a great tool for you don't02:12:35
be embarrassed to do that i do that in02:12:38
english we have dora the explorer we02:12:40
have sesame street we have another02:12:42
channel that's made for children's02:12:44
content but it could be useful for you02:12:47
it's called kids versus life so please02:12:48
be sure to check that out i speak as02:12:51
often as possible with native speakers a02:12:53
native speaker can go ah that's that's a02:12:55
strange thing that you're saying so02:12:56
there are a lot of small factors that02:12:58
you can't get unless you're speaking02:13:00
with a native speaker so this is a02:13:02
really really great tip if you're02:13:04
interested in doing this with us we have02:13:07
on englishclass101.com02:13:09
a special subscription which is called02:13:11
the elite level of subscription where02:13:13
you get to actually study with one of02:13:15
our teachers here02:13:17
so if if you don't have somebody that02:13:19
you can study with now that might be a02:13:21
way to do it please check that out if02:13:23
you're interested i try to use the02:13:25
language routinely in the context of02:13:27
daily life02:13:28
when you're alone uh just doing stuff at02:13:31
home like making breakfast or cooking or02:13:32
doing the laundry if you use the02:13:34
language just to say like now i'm going02:13:37
to i don't know cut vegetables or oh i02:13:39
need to do laundry later today or02:13:42
thinking about your appointment whatever02:13:44
another good example is really i put my02:13:46
phone into my target language you're02:13:48
telling little stories when you're02:13:49
having conversations with people so get02:13:51
used to telling yourself the story i use02:13:54
repetition reading writing and speaking02:13:57
words over and over again keep repeating02:13:59
in your studies um even if it feels like02:14:02
you know you're not making any progress02:14:04
you are just just the act of doing that02:14:06
repetition can be helpful for you if a02:14:08
football player never throws a football02:14:11
he's not going to be able to throw it02:14:13
very well is he you have to repeat02:14:15
repeat repeat and then when you're faced02:14:17
with the actual situation where you need02:14:19
to throw the football you need to use02:14:21
that vocabulary word you're ready you02:14:23
already know how to say the word so yes02:14:25
repeat it's good i try to think in02:14:28
english so it becomes natural to my02:14:29
thought process02:14:31
i do this02:14:32
i think about what i need to do i think02:14:34
about what i have done i think about02:14:35
what i'm going to do02:14:37
and so in that way you can practice past02:14:39
tense future tense and present tense02:14:41
recently this has been happening to me02:14:43
i've started dreaming in japanese from02:14:44
time to time or i dream bilingually it's02:14:47
exciting i think i try to use the word02:14:49
in a simple sentence so i learn whole02:14:51
phrases not just individual words yes02:14:54
this is a huge tip so vocabulary is02:14:56
important of course if you don't know a02:14:59
key word02:15:00
you might miss the meaning of something02:15:02
but context is important too so there02:15:04
might be two words which seem very02:15:06
similar like big and large for example02:15:09
but when should i use large when should02:15:10
i use big like if you're close shopping02:15:12
and you say02:15:14
do you have this in a big size it might02:15:16
not be the correct way to use the word02:15:18
instead do you have this in a large size02:15:21
is the correct phrase so learning how to02:15:23
use the correct vocabulary word at the02:15:25
correct time is important and you can do02:15:28
that through studying sentences and02:15:30
phrases instead of just vocabulary this02:15:32
is why reading is important i feel02:15:35
reading as much as possible especially02:15:37
the newspaper helps me to remember words02:15:39
when i was a kid i just read everything02:15:41
i was i was so into reading i loved it02:15:44
and i think that it helped it actually02:15:46
helped my language skills improve even02:15:48
in my native language again at first02:15:50
it's really hard to do and you might02:15:52
have to use a dictionary a lot but02:15:54
you'll learn gradually more natural02:15:56
speaking patterns more natural writing02:15:58
patterns too which will help you to02:16:00
sound more natural when you speak and02:16:02
maybe it can help your listening skills02:16:04
too when you can listen for those02:16:06
patterns that you see in textbooks that02:16:08
you see in newspapers in novels whatever02:16:10
it's a great tool reading and thank02:16:12
goodness that's the end so those are 1002:16:15
tips that you can use to remember new02:16:18
words and new phrases try them out i'm02:16:20

after this is the phrase02:21:58

please02:22:04
together it's02:22:06
could you spell your name please02:22:09
to respond02:22:10
you would give the spelling of your last02:22:12
name first name or both02:22:15
now you try02:22:17
say the hotel clerk's line when he asks02:22:20
gustavo to spell his name02:22:23
thank you very much mr silva02:22:31
could you spell your name please02:22:34

next is the word02:22:49
please02:22:50
together it's02:22:53
a wake-up call please02:22:55
keep in mind that you will also have to02:22:57
tell the hotel clerk what time you want02:23:00
the wake-up call02:23:02
now you try02:23:03
say gustavo's line to request a wake-up02:23:06
call02:23:08
oh02:23:14
and a wake-up call please02:23:17
in the scene02:23:19
how did gustavo ask what time breakfast02:23:21
is served02:23:23
what time's breakfast02:23:26
the first word is02:23:28
what02:23:29
next is a contraction of the words time02:23:33
and is02:23:35
times02:23:37
last is the word02:23:39
breakfast02:23:40
together it's02:23:43
what times breakfast02:23:45
this is a very useful02:23:47
shortened way of asking about what time02:23:50
something is happening02:23:51
you try02:23:53
say gustavo's line to find out when02:23:55
breakfast will be served02:23:58
but02:24:04
what time's breakfast02:24:10
now the lesson focused here's how to02:24:12
check in at a hotel ready02:24:17
do you remember the first thing gustavo02:24:20
said to the hotel clerk in the scene02:24:22
after he introduces himself02:24:25
i have a02:24:26
reservation02:24:28
first is the phrase02:24:30
i have02:24:32
next is the phrase02:24:34
a reservation02:24:36
together it's02:24:38
i have a reservation02:24:41
use this expression to indicate that02:24:43
you've reserved a room in advance02:24:46
you can also use this phrase in other02:24:48
situations where you made a reservation02:24:50
such as at a restaurant02:24:52
now you try02:24:54
imagine you have just come to a02:24:56
restaurant where you've made a02:24:57
reservation02:24:58
what would you say02:25:05
i have a reservation02:25:08
now imagine you've booked a rental car02:25:10
online and you're checking in to pick up02:25:13
your car02:25:14
what would you say02:25:21
i have a02:25:22
reservation02:25:24
do you remember how gustavo asked if the02:25:27
hotel has a shop02:25:29
is there a shop in this hotel02:25:31
first is the phrase02:25:34
is there02:25:35
and next is the phrase a shop02:25:39
last is the phrase02:25:42
in this hotel02:25:44
together it's02:25:46
is there a shop in this hotel02:25:49
this structure allows you to easily ask02:25:52
if something is nearby or in a02:25:54
particular location02:25:56
start your question with02:25:58
is there02:25:59
and then insert something you are02:26:01
