[02:28] English that I personally use

[02:32] around 19 phrases that I and a lot of

[02:36] other people who speak English use on a

[02:39] daily basis let's get started with our

[02:41] phrases while I like to imagine that I

[02:44] have a huge vocabulary and I use all

[02:48] kinds of interesting and beautiful

[02:50] phrases every day the truth is that I

[02:54] repeat myself quite often from one day

[02:57] to the next I cling on to to words like

[03:00] a magnet and I use them again and again

[03:03] and again until people say can you stop

[03:05] saying that please like most of you I

[03:07] spend most days doing similar activities

[03:10] working eating hanging out with friends

[03:14] hanging out with my pets actually and I

[03:16] have a bank of phrases that I use every

[03:18] day without even thinking about them and

[03:21] that's what I want to give you in this

[03:23] lesson my bank and I'm not talking about

[03:25] my money I'm talking about my personal

[03:27] vocabulary Bank learn these phrases and

[03:30] you'll be able to get through a lot of

[03:33] the day in an English-speaking

[03:35] environment without having to think too

[03:37] hard about what you're saying and that's

[03:40] what we want in life to not think too

[03:42] hard I'm going to start with some

[03:44] general phrases that I say any time and

[03:47] any place number

[03:49] one what a

[03:51] shame what a shame what a shame this is

[03:55] such a great response to something

[03:57] negative or unfortunate that happens or

[04:01] someone tells you about it's better to

[04:03] use it for small inconveniences like our

[04:07] favorite restaurant is booked up on our

[04:09] anniversary what a shame or Jean can't

[04:13] come tonight she's busy what a

[04:16] shame don't use this When someone tells

[04:19] you that their pet died or something

[04:21] more serious happened I don't feel it's

[04:24] strong enough for that number two I

[04:27] haven't got a clue I haven't Haven a

[04:30] clue I haven't got a clue this phrase

[04:32] means I really don't know now I wouldn't

[04:35] recommend using this phrase with your

[04:37] boss or when something is very important

[04:40] CU it can seem a bit too casual like you

[04:43] don't care that you don't know I haven't

[04:45] a clue I haven't got a clue we normally

[04:47] use got with haven't I haven't got a pen

[04:50] I haven't got time but in this phrase

[04:54] sometimes we go a bit more oldfashioned

[04:56] and say I haven't a clue I use I haven't

[04:58] got a clue with friends or family do you

[05:01] know where the binoculars are I haven't

[05:04] got a clue sorry okay number three I use

[05:07] this all the time to cut a long story

[05:10] short to cut a long story short I really

[05:13] do need to work on making my long

[05:15] stories shorter I have the habit of

[05:18] starting a story with a lot of

[05:20] enthusiasm especially in front of a

[05:21] group of people and then I just I lose

[05:25] the plot I it doesn't go anywhere I I I

[05:27] don't finish it I just Trail up to cut a

[05:30] long story short we use this phrase to

[05:33] say I'm going to tell you the main point

[05:36] of the story I'll cut out all the extras

[05:38] I'm going to make this long story

[05:40] shorter by just telling you the

[05:42] essential information we often say this

[05:45] when we realize that we've been waffling

[05:48] on for a while and we need to get to the

[05:50] point to Waffle or here I used it in a

[05:53] phrasal verb to Waffle on is to talk for

[05:56] a long time without saying anything

[05:59] really of value or anything really

[06:01] interesting sorry I've been waffling on

[06:04] for hours I've been waffling for hours

[06:07] you add the preposition on to turn

[06:09] waffle into a phrasal verb and it just

[06:12] adds emphasis implies that this is an

[06:14] ongoing action I actually can't believe

[06:17] I've been waffling on about the phrase

[06:20] to waffle and to Waffle on that is just

[06:23] so explanatory let's go back to to cut a

[06:27] long story short sometimes we prefer

[06:30] this phrase with anyway which is another

[06:33] word I use about 150 times a day anyway

[06:36] to cut a long story short I am sorry if

[06:39] I go on a bit I just get really excited

[06:42] by words and phrases I want you to know

[06:45] them all let's go to number four which

[06:48] is make up your mind make up your mind

[06:51] this is the last General one and it

[06:53] means decide or make a decision we tend

[06:57] to use this phrase when we're a bit

[06:59] frustrated because someone can't or

[07:02] won't decide I say it to my dog Diego

[07:05] when he's standing in the doorway

[07:07] wondering whether to go outside or not

[07:10] letting in lots of cold air and lots of

[07:13] leaves make up your mind Diego make a

[07:17] decision okay so those are my general

[07:19] phrases now I'm going to move through my

[07:21] work day from morning to evening so

[07:24] let's get cracking let's get on with it

[07:27] I'm starting in the morning but I only

[07:28] have three phrases to put here because I

[07:32] don't talk a lot in the morning however

[07:34] if I am saying anything at 700 a.m.

[07:37] these are the ones I'd use mine if I

[07:40] grab the last mind if I'd grab the last

[07:43] mind if I grab the last piece of toast

[07:46] Bagel tea bag this is a way to ask if

[07:49] you can eat or use or take the last of

[07:52] something it's a question I ask my

[07:55] husband or he asks me several times a

[07:58] day notice how we emit do you from the

[08:02] beginning of the question this is called

[08:04] Ellipsis and it's really common in

[08:06] informal questions mind if I grab the

[08:09] last number six I use this a lot I've

[08:12] got to dash or just for short got a dash

[08:16] got a dash this means I have to leave

[08:19] quickly normally because I'm late you

[08:21] can use it at any time of the day but I

[08:24] often say it in the mornings because

[08:25] that's usually when I'm in a hurry

[08:27] number seven another similar one let's

[08:30] get a move on or let's get going this is

[08:33] a phrase we often say when we really

[08:35] want to leave or we need to leave with

[08:38] someone else it means come on we need to

[08:42] go let's get going let's get a move on

[08:45] it's quite colloquial quite casual

[08:47] informal and it's not rude but it also

[08:51] isn't polite I feel annoyed when will

[08:54] says it to me if he says let's get a

[08:57] move on he's implying that I'm being

[08:58] slow or I'm going to be late and I I

[09:01] know I know I'm slow I know I'm going to

[09:03] be late you don't have to tell me

[09:05] because of that use it with your friends

[09:06] and family but don't use it with your

[09:08] boss let's move on to some things that I

[09:10] say every day during my

[09:13] workday let's get cracking I said that

[09:16] one at the beginning do you remember it

[09:19] means let's begin I love using this

[09:22] phrase because it's more interesting

[09:24] than just saying let's start let's get

[09:28] cracking let's get on with it number

[09:30] nine I really do say this a lot I've got

[09:32] backto back meetings today backto back

[09:36] meetings if I'm not filming a video

[09:38] which is my favorite part of the job I'm

[09:41] probably in a meeting and because will

[09:43] and I work from home and work together

[09:45] and our entire team is remote I have a

[09:49] lot of Zoom meetings if my meetings are

[09:52] back to back it means I have one meeting

[09:55] after another with no breaks you could

[09:57] use it with any task need to do one

[10:00] after another backtack presentations

[10:03] backtack classes backtack filming maybe

[10:06] you've got backto back social occasions

[10:08] over the holiday period number 10 I'm up

[10:11] to my ears I'm up to my ears and this

[10:14] one is related to the previous phrase it

[10:17] means I'm very busy I'm up to my ears is

[10:20] short for I'm up to my ears in work I

[10:23] might use it in texts if someone invites

[10:26] me out I'll say I'm so sorry I can't

[10:28] come out tonight I'm up to my ears

[10:30] number 11 I'm going to power through I'm

[10:33] going to power through this is a phrase

[10:36] I say when I'm going to work until I

[10:39] have finished we often say this when

[10:41] we're tired or if the task is

[10:43] particularly difficult you can also say

[10:46] power on through now I absolutely love

[10:48] filming and making videos but I have a

[10:52] six video limit you know that I post one

[10:56] YouTube video a week but I've been

[10:58] working really hard hard behind the

[11:00] scenes to film a lot of videos for my

[11:02] courses and when I get to that sixth

[11:05] video because after then my tongue

[11:07] doesn't work properly but I don't

[11:09] realize so I waste a lot of time filming

[11:11] videos that cannot be used and have to

[11:13] be refilmed when I get to that sixth

[11:16] video I tell myself I just need to power

[11:19] through this one and then I can take a

[11:21] break number 12 is give me a minute give

[11:24] me a minute when someone needs me I

[11:27] often want to finish what I'm working on

[11:30] and when I'm speaking quickly give me

[11:32] becomes gimme give me a minute I'm just

[11:34] finishing something I don't know about

[11:36] you but I find it quite hard to focus at

[11:40] the best of times so if someone takes my

[11:42] focus away it takes me another 20

[11:45] minutes to get focused again so

[11:47] sometimes I'm trying to hold on to my

[11:49] focus and say give me a minute give me a

[11:50] minute I'm just focusing on something

[11:52] I'll get to you afterwards number 13 I

[11:55] need to clear my head I need to clear my

[11:58] head I use this phrase to say that I

[12:00] need to take a break or do a different

[12:02] activity for a while usually because I'm

[12:05] feeling stressed or confused if I've had

[12:08] back-to-back meetings or filming I often

[12:11] need a bit of fresh air to clear my head

[12:14] and number 14 the final daytime phrase I

[12:18] could do with a little pickme up I could

[12:20] do with a little pickme up I use this

[12:22] once a day normally at around 400 p.m.

[12:26] can you relate super healthy all day

[12:29] nourishing meals and then at 400 p.m.

[12:32] I'm like I need chocolate or crisps I

[12:35] don't mind which I just need something I

[12:38] really have to fight those 400 p.m.

[12:40] Cravings often at 4 p.m. I have a little

[12:42] energy dip I'm sure it's something

[12:45] biological that's probably a dip in

[12:47] blood sugar or something and I need a

[12:50] little pickme up to boost my energy a

[12:53] drink or a snack I often have some

[12:55] coffee or a cereal bar in the afternoon

[12:58] in American English people often say I

[13:00] could use a little pickme up let's move

[13:02] on to the evening at last the day is

[13:05] coming to an end here are some things I

[13:06] say every evening 15 I'm just wrapping

[13:11] up for the day this one means I'm

[13:14] finishing my work or finishing my tasks

[13:16] for the day wrapping everything up

[13:19] making sure everything is finished so I

[13:22] can leave work and not think about work

[13:24] anymore 16 next rounds on me next round

[13:29] on me when I lived in London it was very

[13:31] common to go for afterwork drinks at the

[13:34] pub this phrase means I will buy the

[13:37] next set of drinks for our group I've

[13:40] talked a bit about rounds before in my

[13:42] videos it's very common in the UK

[13:45] Ireland Australia and some other

[13:48] English-speaking countries for people in

[13:50] a group to take turns buying drinks for

[13:53] everyone so if you're in a group of four

[13:55] you buy the first round of four drinks

[13:57] then the next person buys the second

[13:59] second round and so on and so on be

[14:01] careful when you get into a round of

[14:03] drinks with a big group of people

[14:05] because you might end up buying eight

[14:06] drinks and maybe even drinking eight

[14:08] drinks which is not a good idea and I

[14:10] don't encourage that I also said on me

[14:14] the next rounds on me that means I'm

[14:16] buying it this one's on me I'm paying

[14:19] for this one dinner's on us we're paying

[14:22] for dinner number 17 peckish I'm a bit

[14:25] peckish after the pub or at dinner time

[14:28] we need to eat something this means I'm

[14:31] hungry not super hungry I don't want a

[14:33] full meal but I could eat I could eat my

[14:36] husband always says that when I'm

[14:38] Distributing the food I have cooked for

[14:40] our evening meal together I say how

[14:42] hungry are you wanting to know how much

[14:44] food do I put in your plate and he

[14:45] always says I could eat I'm like well

[14:49] that doesn't give me any indication as

[14:50] to how much food I should put in your

[14:52] plate I'm sorry you don't need to know

[14:54] this let's move on to number 18 fancier

[14:57] night cap I I always fancy a night cap

[15:01] but I try not to have night caps this

[15:03] one is about alcohol it means do you

[15:05] want one last drink before you go to bed

[15:09] it's usually alcohol but it can actually

[15:11] refer to any drink hot cocoa tea herbal

[15:16] tea they could all be night caps but

[15:19] most English speakers will think that

[15:21] you're offering them an alcoholic drink

[15:23] like a whiskey or a brandy or something

[15:26] like that and number 19 the last one I'm

[15:29] going to turn in I'm going to turn in

[15:31] going to informal contraction going to

[15:34] this phrase means I'm going to bed and

[15:37] that's exactly how I end my day oh

[15:39] actually I have a bonus phrase for you

[15:42] um because it slipped my mind no that's

[15:44] it that's the phrase it slipped my mind

[15:47] this means I forgot but it's a nicer

[15:51] softer way of saying it I'm so sorry

[15:54] about forgetting your birthday it

[15:55] totally slipped my mind or it slipped my

[15:59] mind to post that letter yesterday it

[16:01] means I really wanted to I tried to

[16:03] remember but it just disappeared from my

[16:06] mind it wasn't my fault I say this all

[16:08] the time all day every day I've just got

[16:10] a lot going on okay which of those

[16:12] phrases do you think you'll use the most

[16:14] make up your mind let me know in the

[16:16] comments are you ready to give your

[16:18] fluency another boost in the next part

[16:20] of the lesson I've got 25 phrases

[16:23] guaranteed to help you sound more

[16:25] natural when chatting to friends

[16:28] acquaint ENT es colleagues and even

[16:30] strangers let's get started I'm going to

[16:33] bring you 25 sentences for daily

[16:36] conversational use when we have

[16:38] conversations we often use the same

[16:41] sentences again and again and again so

[16:44] I've got some alternatives for you some

[16:46] new smart sentences that you may not

[16:49] have heard before but they're definitely

[16:51] ones that we use a lot especially in the

[16:54] UK and around the rest of the world as

[16:56] well first let's discuss free we can use

[16:59] when we meet someone that we either do

[17:02] or do not know these are different

[17:05] situations the first phrase is nice to

[17:08] bump into you it's nice to bump into you

[17:11] now you would use this phrase if you are

[17:13] at the very least familiar with them so

[17:15] maybe you know of them to know of

[17:17] someone is to have heard about them to

[17:20] know their name if you have seen someone

[17:21] recently you can say nice to bump into

[17:24] you again now the literal meaning of to

[17:26] bump into someone is to collect lied

[17:29] with someone for example I bumped into

[17:31] someone at the supermarket and dropped

[17:34] my milk for example however in this

[17:36] context the context of meeting someone

[17:38] to bump into someone means to meet

[17:41] someone unexpectedly for example I might

[17:44] say I bumped into your mom at the

[17:46] swimming pool meaning I unexpectedly met

[17:49] your mom now the next one number two is

[17:51] a phrase that we use if we don't know

[17:53] someone we haven't met them before but

[17:56] we have maybe heard of them before or we

[17:59] have communicated with them digitally

[18:02] maybe we've been talking over email or

[18:04] something like that it is it's great to

[18:07] finally meet you in person it's great to

[18:09] finally meet you in person I say this so

[18:12] much after the pandemic I met so many

[18:14] people online over zoom and now I can

[18:17] finally meet them in real life so I say

[18:20] ah it's so nice to finally meet you in

[18:22] person number three is speak of the

[18:25] devil speak of the devil and this has a

[18:28] very specific usage this is said when a

[18:31] person appears just after being

[18:34] mentioned for example if I'm talking to

[18:36] a colleague about someone's excellent

[18:39] presentation and then that person

[18:41] appears I could say speak of the devil

[18:44] we were just talking about your

[18:46] excellent presentation this can be a

[18:48] great way to make someone new feel

[18:49] included especially if you have been

[18:52] complimenting them behind their back

[18:54] number four another one to use if you

[18:56] haven't met someone before but you want

[18:58] to pay the a nice compliment you can say

[19:01] I've heard so much about you I've heard

[19:03] so much about you obviously only say

[19:05] this if you actually have heard good

[19:07] things said about this person a really

[19:09] good response to this is all good things

[19:12] I hope or all positive I hope and the

[19:14] last one number five this is a nice way

[19:17] of saying I don't know who you are so

[19:19] please introduce yourself to me avoids

[19:22] an awward situation it is I don't think

[19:25] we've crossed paths before I don't think

[19:28] we've crossed paths before to cross

[19:30] paths with someone is to meet someone by

[19:32] chance and if we haven't crossed paths

[19:35] before well we've never met but I think

[19:37] it's a bit nicer than saying who are you

[19:40] I don't know who you are I don't think

[19:42] we've crossed paths before okay next

[19:45] section let's say for now that you've

[19:47] met someone that you do know you're

[19:49] going to want to catch up with them and

[19:51] to catch up with someone is to talk

[19:52] about everything that's happened since

[19:55] you last saw each other so we have

[19:57] number six which is

[19:59] how is everything going how is

[20:01] everything going and if you can't

[20:03] specifically remember what they've been

[20:05] doing how is everything going is a great

[20:08] way to let them lead the conversation it

[20:11] gives them room to open up this might

[20:14] refer to their family their work their

[20:16] personal life romantic life who knows

[20:19] but you can let them lead the

[20:20] conversation because they decide what

[20:23] everything is we also have number seven

[20:26] which is what have you been up to

[20:29] what have you been up to and this is a

[20:31] really friendly phrase if you are up to

[20:34] something it means that you are doing

[20:36] something mischievous you're doing

[20:38] something Troublesome but this phrase is

[20:40] very warm and friendly it's saying you

[20:43] know what trouble have you been causing

[20:45] what have you been doing it's something

[20:47] that we use a lot with children or

[20:50] animals I often say to my dog what have

[20:53] you been up to Diego because I know he's

[20:55] been doing something mischievous we use

[20:57] it with friends as well well it's very

[20:59] casual so it's not appropriate for

[21:01] professional situations uh but it is

[21:04] appropriate if you know the person quite

[21:05] well a good response to what have you

[21:07] been up to is ah not much or I've not

[21:10] been up to much we also have number

[21:12] eight which is what have I missed what

[21:15] have I missed fill me in so if you

[21:17] haven't caught up with someone for a

[21:19] while this is a good way to ask them

[21:22] what has happened since you last spoke

[21:25] to fill someone in is to give someone

[21:27] missing information or to inform someone

[21:30] more fully of a situation so if I'm

[21:32] saying fill me in I'm saying tell me all

[21:36] this missing information another good

[21:38] one is we've got so much to catch up on

[21:41] this means we've got so much to talk

[21:42] about so much has happened since we last

[21:45] saw each other now number 10 is one that

[21:47] you can use if you've seen or met

[21:49] someone that you know you need to spend

[21:51] a long talking to but it's not the right

[21:54] time it is there's so much to say but I

[21:57] can't go into it now I can't go into it

[22:00] now to go into something is to discuss

[22:03] or explain something in a careful and

[22:05] detailed way and this implies that there

[22:08] are lots and lots of details too many

[22:10] for now maybe it would be impolite to

[22:13] talk a lot maybe there are some people

[22:15] around that shouldn't hear what you're

[22:16] talking about it's a good one to use or

[22:19] a good one to have up your sleeve and

[22:21] that means to have something ready for

[22:23] later right so we've discussed talking

[22:25] to people that we have met before now

[22:27] what should we do with people people

[22:28] that we haven't met before we should get

[22:31] to know them shouldn't we we should ask

[22:33] some good open-ended questions to get

[22:35] them talking often we want to ask people

[22:39] how did you get your job how did you end

[22:41] up working here but that's not so polite

[22:43] so a really good alternative is number

[22:46] 11 which is how did you get into X how

[22:51] did you get into marketing how did you

[22:52] get into Finance to get into something

[22:56] in this context is to become involved

[22:58] with how did you become involved with

[23:01] marketing then they can tell you their

[23:03] life story another nice way of getting

[23:05] to know someone is to ask them what they

[23:07] do for fun and in American English

[23:10] especially what do you do for fun is a

[23:13] very common question I would say that

[23:15] it's not so common in the UK but we do

[23:18] see it in movies and TV shows a lot I

[23:21] just noticed this question asked to me a

[23:23] lot when I visited the US and I thought

[23:25] it was really nice it was a really good

[23:27] way of making conversations

[23:29] that isn't about work so what do you do

[23:31] for fun in British English we might say

[23:32] something more like what do you do

[23:35] outside of work or what do you do when

[23:36] you're not working it's maybe a bit

[23:38] nicer than asking someone what they do

[23:40] for fun because I know when someone asks

[23:42] me what I do for fun I think oh my word

[23:45] I'm not that fun of person I like

[23:47] running is running fun enough to answer

[23:49] this question do they think that running

[23:51] is fun enough yes so those other

[23:52] Alternatives what do you do when you're

[23:53] not working what do you do outside of

[23:55] work they're pretty safe another good

[23:57] thing to talk about about is motivation

[23:59] and we want to know what motivates

[24:01] people but instead of just simply saying

[24:04] what motivates you you could say what

[24:06] makes you tick what really makes you

[24:09] tick and this is sort of asking what are

[24:11] you passionate about what keeps you

[24:14] going for example helping my students

[24:17] gain confidence really makes me tick

[24:20] another similar one is what gets you out

[24:22] of bed in the morning what do you get up

[24:25] for or a really fun and cheeky one is

[24:28] what floats your boat that means what

[24:30] brings you Joy that comes from the

[24:32] phrase whatever floats your boat

[24:34] whatever you like this is something that

[24:35] we say when someone says they like

[24:37] something that we think is a bit strange

[24:39] so for example if someone says they like

[24:41] running marathons every weekend I might

[24:44] say whatever floats your boat not my

[24:47] thing but good for you the question what

[24:49] floats your boat is a variation of that

[24:52] now when we meet people and we have a

[24:53] really really good conversation the next

[24:56] step is to ensure further contact

[24:58] to create further contact but we don't

[25:00] just want to say what's your number I

[25:03] would like to talk again although I

[25:05] quite like the direct approach there are

[25:07] some other ways of doing this like

[25:09] number 16 I'd love to carry this on at a

[25:12] later date or I'd love to carry this on

[25:15] at another time and this is basically

[25:17] saying I would like to continue this

[25:19] conversation so you're sort of stopping

[25:21] them there saying pause but let's

[25:24] continue this later on another good one

[25:26] to use if you can see that a

[25:27] conversation is is coming to an end

[25:29] maybe it's like a break in a conference

[25:31] and you know that the next lecture is

[25:33] starting but you still want to make sure

[25:35] that you remain in contact with this

[25:37] person you could say something like I

[25:39] feel we've got so much more to talk

[25:41] about I feel we've got so much more to

[25:43] talk about and this one is really nice

[25:45] because it's sort of passing the pattern

[25:47] it's passing the responsibility over to

[25:49] the other person and it gives them the

[25:51] opportunity to say well let's stay in

[25:53] touch let's exchange contact details

[25:56] it's good to use if you don't know if

[25:58] they want to stay in touch if you're

[25:59] kind of testing the water if they say

[26:02] yeah let's stay in touch brilliant if

[26:05] they don't well there we are at least we

[26:07] know the next one number 18 is to

[26:10] discuss something over a consumable a

[26:13] food or a beverage for example we should

[26:16] discuss this over lunch or we should

[26:18] chat over coffee we should talk over

[26:20] dinner if you think about it using the

[26:22] word over is quite appropriate because

[26:24] normally two people having a meeting at

[26:27] dinner are speaking over the top of the

[26:30] food the conversation flows over the

[26:32] food or drink another very simple very

[26:35] casual one is number 19 we should do

[26:38] this again we should do this again it's

[26:40] implying we should see each other again

[26:43] and the last one number 20 if you want

[26:45] to be very direct and give your contact

[26:48] details you can say here's my email

[26:51] here's my number drop me a line and

[26:53] we'll sort something out to drop someone

[26:56] a line is to write a brief message so it

[26:58] could be a text a WhatsApp an email we

[27:01] can also say drop me a text or drop me a

[27:03] WhatsApp to sort something out is to

[27:05] organize something we'll arrange another

[27:07] meeting and the last set of phrases and

[27:10] for me the hardest part of any

[27:14] conversation is leaving the conversation

[27:16] I'm terrible at parties I end up talking

[27:18] to one person intensely for the whole

[27:21] event and then it comes to the end and I

[27:24] think I have not met many people here

[27:27] it's just awkward isn't it if you don't

[27:29] have much time you can use 21 which is O

[27:33] I'm a bit pressed for time I'm a bit

[27:35] pressed for time and this is a nice way

[27:37] of saying I don't have any time I need

[27:40] to go or number

[27:42] 22 right I need to make a move and in

[27:45] the UK we always sort of clap our hands

[27:48] together or if we're sitting down we

[27:50] slap our thighs and say right I've got

[27:53] to be going to make a move is to begin

[27:56] to leave or to leave I'm going to make a

[27:59] move I'm going to leave it's a nicer way

[28:01] of saying it because we're beating

[28:03] around the bush we're avoiding the topic

[28:06] I don't want to say I'm leaving so I'm

[28:08] going to say I'm making a move another

[28:11] similar one is I'm going to have to get

[28:13] going I'm going to have to get going or

[28:16] I need to get going again this is to

[28:18] begin to leave but by saying I have to

[28:22] it's implying that you don't want to I

[28:24] just have to I'm obliged to leave it's

[28:26] not my choice I need to now a really

[28:28] nice one it's interesting but ever so

[28:31] slightly manipulative but I learned it

[28:33] from someone that I really respect an

[28:36] older woman in my Village I always enjoy

[28:38] talking to her at parties in our village

[28:41] but I probably enjoy speaking to her

[28:43] more than she enjoys speaking with me

[28:45] and once she said this wonderful thing

[28:47] when she wanted to leave our

[28:49] conversation but she did it in such a

[28:51] nice way she said I don't want to hog

[28:53] you so I'm going to go over here and I

[28:56] felt like oh she doesn't want to hog

[28:58] me to hog something is to take or use

[29:01] something good all for yourself so that

[29:03] other people can't have it and she was

[29:05] saying I don't want to keep you all to

[29:07] myself so I'm going to make sure other

[29:09] people can talk to you too and it's

[29:11] implying that whoever you're talking to

[29:13] is so great that they need to talk to

[29:14] lots of people lots of people can

[29:16] benefit from talking to them it wouldn't

[29:19] be right to deny others the chance of

[29:21] talking to this person I thought it was

[29:23] really interesting kind of like reverse

[29:25] psychology instead of making me feel

[29:27] abandoned it made me feel flattered oh

[29:31] I'm so weak okay and the last one number

[29:34] 25 I've already taken so much of your

[29:37] time I've already taken so much of your

[29:39] time that's a lovely way of saying you

[29:41] know I don't want to leave but I've

[29:43] wasted your time so I'm going to go

[29:45] because it's fair on you okay those are

[29:48] your 25 smart sentences for daily

[29:51] conversation really good if you're going

[29:53] to a new place you're going to meet lots

[29:55] of new people or you're going to see

[29:57] lots of people that you you haven't seen

[29:58] in a while it's also great for

[30:00] networking if you're going to have to

[30:02] have lots of conversations and leave

[30:05] conversations frequently okay in this

[30:07] next part of the lesson I have compiled

[30:10] 100 of the most common English words it

[30:14] is a long one so make sure you're

[30:15] sitting comfortably or doing something

[30:17] else it's going to help you with your

[30:19] pronunciation too I want you to guess

[30:22] how many words do you think there are in

[30:25] the English language don't Google it I

[30:27] will tell you the answer well there have

[30:29] been various studies and some of them

[30:32] say that there are over

[30:34] 170,000 words in the English language

[30:37] that's a lot of words but on average a

[30:40] native English speaker will know between

[30:43] 15 and 20,000 words this is an insane

[30:48] amount of words I can't even count to

[30:50] 20,000 but don't despair it is claimed

[30:54] that the top 100 words in English make

[30:58] up 50% of the language today I thought

[31:02] it would be an excellent idea to help

[31:05] you to perfect those top 100 words in

[31:08] English I'll break this down into the

[31:11] different parts of speech I'll show you

[31:14] how to spell the words how to pronounce

[31:16] them in both their weak form and their

[31:19] strong form I'll also give you an

[31:21] example with the word in use let's get

[31:24] started with the first section of this

[31:26] video it's all about about nouns a noun

[31:29] is a word that refers to a place a

[31:32] person an idea a thing a quality or an

[31:36] activity let's take a look at 10 of the

[31:38] most common nouns in the English

[31:40] language and most importantly their

[31:42] pronunciation first we have man man the

[31:47] man sat quietly on the chair

[32:44] could play the piano better than anyone

[32:46] now let's move on to pronouns a pronoun

[32:50] can substitute a noun or a noun phrase

[32:53] in a sentence we can only use a pronoun

[32:56] if the noun or noun phrase has been

[32:58] referred to previously we have 20 to

[33:00] look at today and they include both

[33:03] strong and weak forms he or he he or he

[33:09] he likes to go out ice skating her or H

[35:28] Y your sister came over yesterday

[35:30] looking for you now let's move on to

[35:33] verbs every sentence needs a verb and we

[35:36] use them to represent actions feelings

[35:42] come

[37:28] year now let's move on to auxiliary

[37:31] verbs these are incredibly useful in

[37:34] English they're also referred to as

[37:36] helping verbs or modal verbs they help

[37:39] to form certain verb tenses voices and

[37:42] moods let's take a look at them b or

[37:47] b b or B I'll be swimming tomorrow

[39:12] describe nouns and they provide more

[39:14] detail

[40:56] adverbs these are words that help you to

[40:58] describe an adjective a verb another

[41:02] adverb or even an entire sentence you

[41:04] may have learned that most adverbs end

[41:07] in ly and this is true but you will be

[41:10] surprised at some of the most common

[41:12] ones let's take a look

[01:27:37] theme and take a look at 17 incredibly

[01:27:41] useful phrases introduced with a story

[01:27:44] you are going to learn the English that

[01:27:46] I use on a daily basis and I'm going to

[01:27:49] teach you in the most interesting way

[01:27:50] possible through a real story as I go

[01:27:54] through this story you're going to hear

[01:27:55] some English phrases that I use every

[01:27:57] day and these are real world English

[01:28:00] expressions and idioms that I use in my

[01:28:02] everyday speech and you're going to hear

[01:28:03] them in context which is very important

[01:28:07] and then after I'll explain exactly what

[01:28:09] they mean using these Expressions will

[01:28:11] make you sound natural and more native

[01:28:13] when you speak in English you ready to

[01:28:15] hear my story so this was a few years

[01:28:17] ago now and as many of you might know my

[01:28:20] husband will used to be a farmer we

[01:28:22] worked together running English with

[01:28:23] Lucy now but previously he was a farmer

[01:28:26] and because his birthday is in June and

[01:28:28] clashes with the High season the busy

[01:28:30] season in his particular area of farming

[01:28:34] he had never had a birthday party as an

[01:28:36] adult ever and this broke my heart it

[01:28:39] was going to be his 30th birthday so I

[01:28:41] wanted to arrange something really

[01:28:43] special for him and so I settled on

[01:28:45] surprising him with a golf tournament

[01:28:47] with all of his friends but I wasn't

[01:28:50] quite sure how to get it off the ground

[01:28:53] so I turned to one of Will's good

[01:28:55] friends Charlie who first told me it was

[01:28:58] the best idea ever go me and then he

[01:29:01] gave me some advice he said if I were

[01:29:04] you I'd call the club first then get a

[01:29:07] small group together to play and invite

[01:29:09] the partners for dinner afterwards okay

[01:29:10] I'm going to interrupt myself here and

[01:29:13] draw your attention to a few of those

[01:29:15] everyday English phrases and the first

[01:29:18] was to get something off the ground

[01:29:20] which means to make something start to

[01:29:23] happen or to succeed and this is such a

[01:29:26] common phrase among native speakers an

[01:29:28] example I have so many ideas but I never

[01:29:31] seem able to get them off the ground the

[01:29:33] next phrase was the best idea ever and

[01:29:35] we use this structure with a superlative

[01:29:38] a lot in English to respond with

[01:29:40] enthusiasm and in speech we often omit

[01:29:43] the and just say best idea ever or worst

[01:29:47] film ever hardest exam ever and the last

[01:29:51] one there was if I were you I and you

[01:29:54] might recognize this as the second

[01:29:56] conditional and this is such a common

[01:29:58] use of this structure because we love

[01:30:01] giving advice I don't like receiving it

[01:30:02] but I love giving it an example if I

[01:30:05] were you I wouldn't invite Jack to the

[01:30:07] party he always gets over excited okay I

[01:30:09] want to continue my story now so I went

[01:30:12] to the local golf club and I told them

[01:30:14] what I wanted and they were all what a

[01:30:16] brilliant idea blah blah blah and they

[01:30:18] told me that they had a special menu

[01:30:20] available around the time that I was

[01:30:22] planning Will's get together the Chef

[01:30:24] even popped out and said H you're in for

[01:30:26] a treat now it looked a bit pricey but

[01:30:29] they assured me it was well worth the

[01:30:30] money then they started recommending me

[01:30:32] some very expensive whiskey that I could

[01:30:34] have ready for will when he finished

[01:30:36] playing I politely said hm I'm not sure

[01:30:39] about that let me let me have a think

[01:30:41] all right let me interrupt myself again

[01:30:44] for a moment the first phrase I want to

[01:30:46] draw your attention to is they were all

[01:30:48] now I'm sure you understood that I meant

[01:30:51] they all said but native speakers use

[01:30:53] the expression

[01:30:54] he was all or I was all Etc in spoken

[01:30:58] English often to convey that someone had

[01:31:00] strong feelings about something whether

[01:31:02] or not we think they're being sincere

[01:31:04] you might have heard something similar

[01:31:05] with they were like or I was like that's

[01:31:08] more about just saying something they

[01:31:11] were all I was all implies that we don't

[01:31:14] know that they're being sincere an

[01:31:16] example I invited Jerry to the party and

[01:31:18] she was all awesome I'll be there and

[01:31:21] then she didn't turn up the next phrase

[01:31:23] was you're in for a treat you're in for

[01:31:25] a treat and we love using this phrase to

[01:31:27] say that something is a good idea we

[01:31:30] also sometimes use it sarcastically to

[01:31:32] say that something is going to be

[01:31:33] challenging or just not very good for

[01:31:36] example I signed up for a spinning class

[01:31:38] with Helen tomorrow oh you're in for a

[01:31:40] treat and the last phrase was one that

[01:31:42] we bretts use all the time because we

[01:31:45] hate saying no or disagreeing directly

[01:31:47] I'm not sure about that or I'm not so

[01:31:49] sure about that if you hear that phrase

[01:31:52] from a British person it always means no

[01:31:55] I think we should have a picnic for

[01:31:56] Olivia's birthday I'm not sure about

[01:31:59] that it's going to rain I followed that

[01:32:01] up with the phrase let me have a think

[01:32:04] let me have a think and this is another

[01:32:06] really common expression that basically

[01:32:08] means no but I don't want to say it

[01:32:10] right now very British sorry oh God I

[01:32:13] said sorry okay back to my story I got

[01:32:15] the ball rolling with the invitations by

[01:32:17] calling some of Will's closest friends I

[01:32:19] said are you free on Saturday the 3rd of

[01:32:22] June do you fancy coming down to

[01:32:24] celebrate Will's 30th okay we got three

[01:32:26] more great everyday English expressions

[01:32:28] in there the first was to get the ball

[01:32:31] rolling and this means to make something

[01:32:33] start to happen very similar to to get

[01:32:36] it off the ground to get something off

[01:32:38] the ground to get the bll rolling or to

[01:32:40] start the ball rolling an example it

[01:32:42] looks like no one wants to speak first

[01:32:44] so I'll get the ball rolling next we had

[01:32:46] are you free on are you free on and this

[01:32:50] is one of the most common ways to ask

[01:32:52] someone to attend an event that you're

[01:32:53] planning are you free on Sunday we're

[01:32:55] thinking of going out for a pub lunch

[01:32:57] and the last one was do you fancy do you

[01:33:00] fancy which is another way to ask if

[01:33:02] someone wants to do something do you

[01:33:04] fancy going out for a bite to eat would

[01:33:07] you like to does this interest you

[01:33:09] before I get back to my story there's

[01:33:10] one extra thing I want to mention I said

[01:33:13] Will's 30th not Will's 30th birthday

[01:33:17] it's very common to shorten significant

[01:33:19] birthdays like this Lucy's 18th Pete's

[01:33:22] 60th you can do for less significant

[01:33:24] birthdays my 25th on my 24th for my 58th

[01:33:29] okay here's the final part of my story

[01:33:31] and this is where it gets good the

[01:33:33] forecast said it was going to rain on

[01:33:34] the day but I decided to play it by air

[01:33:37] and didn't make any other plans it

[01:33:39] turned out to be gorgeous weather and

[01:33:40] Will was over the moon when I told him

[01:33:43] what was happening when we got to the

[01:33:44] golf club it turned out that I had been

[01:33:47] told the wrong prices and instead of £0

[01:33:50] ahead it was £ 100 ahead on Saturday

[01:33:53] days I literally trembled as I handed

[01:33:56] over my credit card he and his mates

[01:33:58] played a round of golf and had a Tipple

[01:34:00] between holes we finally sat down to eat

[01:34:03] and will who was feeling very happy

[01:34:06] slightly Tipsy and very generous

[01:34:10] accidentally said ah don't worry guys we

[01:34:12] got this he accidentally offered to pay

[01:34:14] for everyone's meal now bear in mind

[01:34:16] that the golf club had already put their

[01:34:18] prices up so it was going to be

[01:34:20] incredibly expensive but we were also in

[01:34:22] the middle of a mortgage AG application

[01:34:25] so cash was a bit tight at the time when

[01:34:27] I had to pay for all of those rounds of

[01:34:29] golf and a meal for I think about 14

[01:34:32] people but what could we do everyone had

[01:34:35] an amazing time and they said the food

[01:34:38] was out of this world we finally called

[01:34:40] it night at about midnight I needed a

[01:34:42] little lie down when I saw the bill but

[01:34:45] it was Will's first birthday party and

[01:34:47] about 10 years so no regrets so that's

[01:34:50] my story i' would love to know has

[01:34:51] anything similar ever happened to you

[01:34:53] you have you ever ended up spending a

[01:34:56] lot more than you originally planned

[01:34:58] I'll remind you to write about it in the

[01:34:59] comments at the end of this lesson but

[01:35:02] right now we have to look at the final

[01:35:04] set of English Expressions that I use

[01:35:06] virtually every day and the first one is

[01:35:08] to play it by ear which means to deal

[01:35:10] with the situation as it develops rather

[01:35:13] than making plans an example I don't

[01:35:15] know how many people are coming we'll

[01:35:17] have to play it by air the next is to be

[01:35:19] over the moon to be over the moon which

[01:35:21] is how will felt when I told him about

[01:35:23] my plan this means to be very happy and

[01:35:25] we use this idiom a lot my sister was

[01:35:28] over the moon when I offered to babysit

[01:35:30] her children for the night we also have

[01:35:32] the phrase we've got this or we got this

[01:35:35] if you say I've got this or I got this

[01:35:38] it means I'll pay for this don't worry I

[01:35:40] got this i got this as very slang I've

[01:35:42] got this is slightly less slang because

[01:35:45] it's more grammatically correct don't

[01:35:46] worry about lunch today I've got this I

[01:35:48] owe you one next was to bear in mind to

[01:35:52] bear in mind and this is such a common

[01:35:54] expression that we Ed to say to remember

[01:35:57] or to consider a piece of information

[01:35:59] bear in mind that I only cooked for 10

[01:36:01] people but over 30 turned up the next

[01:36:04] one was out of this world which is a way

[01:36:06] to emphasize how fantastic something is

[01:36:09] the decorations were out of this world

[01:36:11] the second to last phrase is to call it

[01:36:14] a night to call it a night we normally

[01:36:16] say to call it a night when something's

[01:36:17] finishing quite late and to call it a

[01:36:20] day when it's finishing at normal work

[01:36:22] time but they are used interchangeably

[01:36:24] an example at 10: p.m. I decided to call

[01:36:27] it a night and finish up in the morning

[01:36:29] and finally my final English word that I

[01:36:31] use every day is a lie down or as part

[01:36:35] of a phrase to have or to need a lie

[01:36:38] down now we often use this literally

[01:36:40] when we're feeling sleepy but we also

[01:36:42] use it metaphorically to say that

[01:36:44] something shocked us so much that we

[01:36:46] needed to lie down after seeing the

[01:36:48] price tag on the dress I needed a lie

[01:36:50] down okay how are you doing do you need

[01:36:53] to have a lie down please don't tell me

[01:36:55] you're going to call it a day you've got

[01:36:57] this we've already covered more than 300

[01:37:00] words we are over halfway through I

[01:37:03] think this is the perfect opportunity to

[02:00:23] with you 15 of my favorite words the

[02:00:27] words that I find most beautiful in

[02:00:30] English spoiler lots of them are

[02:00:33] borrowed from other languages I'm going

[02:00:35] to give you their pronunciation

[02:00:37] definitions examples words that I think

[02:00:41] we should all use more often I've

[02:00:44] selected these words because I find that

[02:00:46] they roll off the tongue or at least

[02:00:49] some of them do and others just have

[02:00:51] really beautiful meanings right let's

[02:00:53] get started with word number one

[02:00:57] appealing appealing I love that long e

[02:01:01] sound appealing appealing this means

[02:01:04] attractive or interesting to me it

[02:01:08] sounds slightly flirtier than just

[02:01:10] saying something or someone is beautiful

[02:01:14] they're appealing I'm interested in them

[02:01:17] an example his Rich vocabulary made him

[02:01:20] sound so appealing this is actually a

[02:01:22] word that my mother uses quite a lot if

[02:01:25] she sees something delicious or smells

[02:01:28] some nice food she will always say that

[02:01:31] looks so appealing number two ineffable

[02:01:35] ineffable this means too great or too

[02:01:39] beautiful to describe in words something

[02:01:42] so wonderful that you can't express how

[02:01:46] wonderful it is it's ineffable an

[02:01:50] example when I heard of their pregnancy

[02:01:53] I was filled with ineffable Joy number

[02:01:56] three quite different

[02:01:59] nefarious nefarious I love that a sound

[02:02:03] I know lots of Learners of English

[02:02:05] struggle with that e sound you're always

[02:02:09] taught to pronounce it as

[02:02:14] e however I have a little pronunciation

[02:02:17] secret that I use with my students and

[02:02:20] my students tend to find it a lot easier

[02:02:23] to think of it as an extension of an e

[02:02:27] sound e e just bring the volume down

[02:02:31] slightly at the end e e nefarious now

[02:02:36] nefarious is a beautiful word in my

[02:02:39] opinion but it doesn't necessarily have

[02:02:41] a very beautiful meaning it means

[02:02:44] criminal or extremely bad I find this

[02:02:47] word appealing because I find it very

[02:02:51] expressive an example they hacked into

[02:02:54] my bank account and used the funds for

[02:02:57] nefarious purposes word number four has

[02:03:00] a story behind it for me the word is

[02:03:04] ethereal ethereal and it means extremely

[02:03:07] light and beautiful or seeming to belong

[02:03:11] to another more spiritual world now

[02:03:14] obviously this word as it is is

[02:03:16] beautiful and the meaning is beautiful

[02:03:19] too but what I think is really fun funny

[02:03:22] about it is that to me it represents how

[02:03:26] difficult English pronunciation and

[02:03:28] spelling can be and as you might have

[02:03:30] noticed the way English words are

[02:03:32] spelled often gives no indication as to

[02:03:35] how they ought to be pronounced ethereal

[02:03:37] is a clear example of that for me when I

[02:03:40] was young I remember being seven 8 n

[02:03:44] years old reading this word in a book

[02:03:48] and simply presuming that it would be

[02:03:50] pronounced e real e real not real e real

[02:03:56] I was always quite shy at school but one

[02:03:58] day I felt particularly confident and I

[02:04:01] put my hand up in an English class and I

[02:04:03] told the teacher that I found something

[02:04:05] to be ever real luckily it was a very

[02:04:09] sweet English teacher and they didn't

[02:04:11] shoot me down or make fun of me they

[02:04:13] just giggled and told me they could see

[02:04:16] why I pronounced it like that but it's

[02:04:17] actually ethereal so that's why this

[02:04:20] word is very deserving of of being on

[02:04:22] this list cuz I think it has a really

[02:04:24] beautiful story behind it for me at

[02:04:26] least an example of ethereal in a

[02:04:29] sentence at Sunrise the London Skyline

[02:04:33] almost looks ethereal number five if you

[02:04:37] know me well if You' followed me for a

[02:04:38] long time you might understand why I

[02:04:41] love this word so much it's epiphany

[02:04:45] epiphany it means a sudden and

[02:04:47] surprising moment of realization and 3

[02:04:51] years ago when I started creating online

[02:04:54] English courses I named my first

[02:04:57] pronunciation course after this word

[02:05:00] Epiphany I've since changed the name of

[02:05:02] my online Language School to simply

[02:05:04] englishwith lucy.com because it's easier

[02:05:07] for everyone but that word Epiphany

[02:05:09] still means a lot to me I want my

[02:05:11] students to have an epiphany a moment of

[02:05:13] realization and understanding when it

[02:05:16] comes to their language skills and their

[02:05:17] pronunciation an example when she took

[02:05:20] the course she had an epiphany and

[02:05:23] everything became clear number six it's

[02:05:25] short it's sweet it's angst it's a

[02:05:29] feeling of great worry or concern about

[02:05:31] your situation or your life and you

[02:05:34] often hear teenage anst I wrote

[02:05:37] emotional poetry when I was full of

[02:05:39] teenage angst number seven Euphoria

[02:05:43] Euphoria I think it's the name of a TV

[02:05:45] show this means an extremely strong

[02:05:48] feeling of excitement or happiness that

[02:05:52] usually only lasts a short while an

[02:05:55] example after receiving the letter of

[02:05:57] acceptance I was in a state of euphoria

[02:06:00] number eight cherish cherish I actually

[02:06:04] met someone the other day whose first

[02:06:07] name was Cherish and she really deserved

[02:06:10] that name she was so lovely this is a

[02:06:11] verb meaning to love someone or

[02:06:13] something very much and to want to

[02:06:16] protect them or it an example I will

[02:06:20] always cherish the letter he wrote to me

[02:06:22] before he passed away number nine is

[02:06:26] eternity eternity and this simply means

[02:06:30] time without end for example A Mother's

[02:06:33] Love lasts for eternity number 10

[02:06:38] quintessence quintessence you may have

[02:06:41] heard this in its adjective form before

[02:06:44] quintessential which is also very

[02:06:46] beautiful but I think this one is used

[02:06:48] less frequently and it should be used

[02:06:50] more frequently because it's a very

[02:06:52] lovely word quintessence it means the

[02:06:55] perfect example of something if you see

[02:06:58] a perfect Country Cottage with beautiful

[02:07:01] light Stone and Roses up it you can say

[02:07:04] that it is the quintessence of an

[02:07:06] English Country Cottage my 11th

[02:07:09] beautiful word is feces Fe I'm joking

[02:07:14] it's not feces that means poop I just I

[02:07:18] don't know I listen to my intrusive

[02:07:20] thoughts then number 11 is plethora

[02:07:23] plethora and this one really does roll

[02:07:25] off the tongue it means an amount that

[02:07:28] is greater than is needed or can be used

[02:07:31] number 12 love this one I mean I love

[02:07:33] all of them that's why I've put them in

[02:07:35] this list but I really like number 12

[02:07:38] pristine pristine this word is so

[02:07:41] expressive it means fresh and clean as

[02:07:44] if new her house was pristine and that's

[02:07:48] another one that my mother uses a lot

[02:07:50] and her house

[02:07:51] really is always pristine you could

[02:07:55] literally eat off my mother's flaws I

[02:07:58] don't suggest you try to eat off my flaw

[02:08:00] number 13

[02:08:02] surreptitiously surreptitiously it means

[02:08:05] in a quick or secret way so that people

[02:08:08] don't notice for example she

[02:08:10] surreptitiously slid her phone number

[02:08:14] under his napkin napkin is another word

[02:08:17] for seriet number 14 dulet dulet dulet

[02:08:23] means sounding sweet or Pleasant and

[02:08:26] it's often collocated with tones dulet

[02:08:31] tones if you're talking about somebody's

[02:08:34] dulet tones it means their sweet voice

[02:08:37] an example I can always recognize her

[02:08:40] dulet tones I can always recognize her

[02:08:43] lovely voice you might hear Brits using

[02:08:46] this one sarcastically if someone is

[02:08:48] speaking with a very loud and unpleasant

[02:08:51] pleas voice you might say ah I know

[02:08:54] those dlet tones well or o I recognize

[02:08:57] those dulet tones and number 15 the last

[02:09:01] one is docile docile I love that o sound

[02:09:06] doile this means quiet and easy to

[02:09:09] control and we often use it to talk

[02:09:11] about animals that have a very sweet

[02:09:13] nature an example the puppy is calm and

[02:09:16] Incredibly docile said no puppy owner

[02:09:20] ever my puppy was doile for the first

[02:09:22] week and then it was chaos for a year

[02:09:25] and a half and now he's docile again I

[02:09:27] can't believe he's nearly six okay so

[02:09:29] I'm dying to know which one did you find

[02:09:31] the most stunning let me know in the

[02:09:33] comments I chose a lot of those words as

[02:09:36] I love pronouncing them they just seem

[02:09:38] to roll off the tongue the next video is

[02:09:40] packed full of advanced Expressions that

[02:09:43] are really fun to say are you ready for

[02:09:45] some rhyming slang we're going to be

[02:09:47] covering the topic of slang but more

[02:09:50] importantly rhy timing slang I'm going

[02:09:52] to teach you how and why we use phrases

[02:09:56] like holy moly nitty-gritty fuddy duddy

[02:10:01] higgledy piggledy it's the ultimate

[02:10:04] vocabulary grammar and slang and

[02:10:07] pronunciation lesson today I'm going to

[02:10:09] teach you about something that most

[02:10:10] native speakers won't even realize they

[02:10:12] do and they certainly wouldn't be able

[02:10:14] to explain why we're going to talk about

[02:10:17] rhyming reduplication okay I've written

[02:10:20] a little poem for you and and there's a

[02:10:22] reason behind it I've not just gone into

[02:10:24] poetry there was once a teacher from

[02:10:27] Britain who gave classes to Alonso the

[02:10:30] kitten but he didn't like reading he

[02:10:32] just wanted feeding so he munched up

[02:10:34] what Lucy had

[02:10:36] written Alfonso is the name of my cat

[02:10:39] now there is something inherently

[02:10:40] satisfying about rhyming words isn't

[02:10:43] there apparently it makes our brains

[02:10:45] really happy when they hear the sound

[02:10:47] patterns that occur in Rhymes now we do

[02:10:50] this a lot in English especially to say

[02:10:53] something in a lighthearted way for

[02:10:56] example holy moly there are a lot of

[02:10:59] examples holy moly is an interjection

[02:11:03] showing surprise now don't worry I'm

[02:11:05] going to show you the nitty-gritty the

[02:11:08] nitty-gritty is the important detail

[02:11:11] we're going to go from the itsy bitsy

[02:11:14] and itsy bitsy means very very small to

[02:11:17] the higgledy piggledy higgledy piggledy

[02:11:20] means confused or jumbled trust me these

[02:11:24] expressions are the bees knees the bees

[02:11:28] knes is an idiom that means excellent

[02:11:32] oky doie let's go oky doie means okay

[02:11:36] see there are a lot of them okay so

[02:11:38] these rhyming expressions are called

[02:11:40] rhyming reduplication and in rhyming

[02:11:44] reduplication we alter the beginning of

[02:11:47] the word and generally this is a

[02:11:49] consonant or a a consonant cluster for

[02:11:53] example e ease bees knes bees KN is a

[02:11:58] copy apart from the consonant sounds at

[02:12:01] the start of the words two-part

[02:12:03] expressions like this sound extremely

[02:12:06] informal and bring the register right

[02:12:09] down to a fun level so that you won't

[02:12:11] sound hoyy toyy another one hoyy toyy is

[02:12:16] behaving like you are better than

[02:12:18] everyone else I hate all this hey toyy

[02:12:21] here are a few more boogie woogie I love

[02:12:32] that one does sound a little

[02:12:34] oldfashioned this one does too but not

[02:12:36] in the same way fuddy duddy fuddy duddy

[02:12:40] this noun or sometimes adjective

[02:12:42] describes someone who is old-fashioned

[02:12:45] or something that is old-fashioned I

[02:12:47] find it adorable though don't be such a

[02:13:00] children who aren't behaving in a

[02:13:02] sensible way we also use it a lot with

[02:13:05] our pets because we treat our pets as

[02:13:07] our children in the UK the tone of voice

[02:13:10] is important with this one as otherwise

[02:13:11] it could sound pretty insulting oh you

[02:13:13] are a silly Billy take that bucket off

[02:13:16] your head fun fact I actually got a

[02:13:19] bucket stuck on my head as a child I put

[02:13:22] it on like this and put the strap under

[02:13:24] my chin to look like a soldier I was

[02:13:26] definitely a silly Billy it had to be

[02:13:37] magical activity often used to trick

[02:13:40] someone just be honest stop all this

[02:13:55] romantic adjective for people who show

[02:14:03] of affection mom and dad are far too

[02:14:13] type of slide that goes all the way

[02:14:15] around like that you'll find it in a

[02:14:16] playground or an adjective to describe

[02:14:20] hurrying and confusion we had a Helter

[02:15:03] about it first we also have jeeper

[02:15:07] creepers jeepers creepers and this is an

[02:15:10] exclamation showing surprise or shock

[02:15:14] and I'm pretty sure that it comes from

[02:15:16] avoiding saying something Blasphemous um

[02:15:19] avoiding saying Jesus Christ cuz we have

[02:15:22] Jesus Christ Jeepers Creepers some

[02:15:25] people want to avoid that it's quite a

[02:15:26] nice one to use Jeepers Creepers knock

[02:15:30] on the door before you just come in next

[02:15:32] time now let's move on to the topic of

[02:15:51] works well with two syllable names

[02:15:52] anyone can make rhyming reduplications

[02:15:55] about anything and there's a really

[02:15:57] common format it often happens by

[02:15:59] replacing the first consonant with W in

[02:16:03] the

[02:16:04] reduplication it's very childlike as you

[02:16:07] can hear my friend Jenny wenny wrote a

[02:16:10] bookie Wookie about a doggy Wy okay one

[02:16:13] more thing I want to cover rhyming SCH

[02:16:17] miming rhyming SCH miming why do we say

[02:16:20] things like that this is

[02:16:23] called

[02:16:24] reduplication I repeated the word

[02:16:27] rhyming but I replaced the first

[02:16:29] consonant with shma rhyming shiming I

[02:16:33] used it here as an intensifier to make

[02:16:35] the concept more memorable here we have

[02:16:37] some more money money this kind of means

[02:16:40] like money is not important or money's

[02:16:43] No Object homework

[02:16:54] schmor this is sort of confrontational

[02:16:56] it's like saying I don't believe you you

[02:17:01] schma reduplication originated in

[02:17:04] Yiddish and it's generally used to

[02:17:06] indicate irony sarcasm skepticism to be

[02:17:11] dismissive or as an interjection it

[02:17:14] really depends on the context and the

[02:17:16] intonation and it's very informal do not

[02:17:19] use this in a job interview I thought it

[02:17:21] would be valuable to mention it because

[02:17:23] you do hear it in a lot of movies

[02:17:26] especially ones based in New York you

[02:17:28] might hear people saying I feel fancy

[02:48:34] visual processing center okay now it's

[02:48:37] time to face some face facts let's start

[02:48:40] with the windows of the soul the eyes

[02:48:43] now the eyes are pretty complex the

[02:48:46] colored part is called your eye Iris

[02:48:50] Iris the black hole in the middle it's

[02:48:54] just like you it's a pupil a pupil a

[02:49:00] also the black hole in your eye pupil it

[02:49:03] gets bigger when there's not much light

[02:49:05] and it shrinks when there's bright light

[02:49:08] when I was at University I used to get

[02:49:11] rejected from nightclubs because my

[02:49:14] pupils were always so big they're very

[02:49:16] sensitive to light or lack of light the

[02:49:18] bouncers thought I had taken an illegal

[02:49:20] substance but really I was just

[02:49:22] struggling to see in the dark and what

[02:49:25] about the white part of the eye I'm

[02:49:27] going to be honest I had to look this

[02:49:28] one up it's called the clearer cleer and

[02:49:32] if you want to remember it I came up

[02:49:35] with a way you can say it's clearer than

[02:49:38] the rest of your eye okay it's clearer

[02:49:41] now let's talk about the flap of skin

[02:49:44] that's always moving up and down the

[02:49:47] eyelid for some reason I have crazy

[02:49:50] control of my eyelids and my eyes in

[02:49:52] general I don't know if you can see this

[02:49:54] this is my party trick look at my

[02:49:59] irises can anyone else do that yeah

[02:50:03] amazing eye control I guess if this

[02:50:05] career doesn't work out I could just go

[02:50:07] to the

[02:50:08] circus back to eyelids eyelids help to

[02:50:12] keep the eyes moist and protected and

[02:50:15] what about your hairs on your eyelids

[02:50:17] they're your eyelashes your eyelashes

[02:50:22] protection for the eyes just above the

[02:50:25] eyes we have the eyebrows eyebrows which

[02:50:28] also play an important role as they help

[02:50:31] to keep sweat out of your eyes what

[02:50:34] about this little dip in between the

[02:50:36] eyebrows this is called the globella

[02:50:39] globella and it's from the Latin word

[02:51:03] the little indentations in their cheeks

[02:51:05] when they smile these are called dimples

[02:51:09] dimples I've always wanted dimples

[02:51:12] they're actually caused by a split in

[02:51:14] the muscle that runs through the cheek

[02:51:16] not everyone has them but perhaps that's

[02:51:18] why so many of us find them so cute okay

[02:57:44] shoulder blades as I'm sure you will

[02:57:46] never forget the scapula

[02:57:49] however running right down the middle of

[02:57:51] your back is the spine the spine or

[02:57:55] sometimes called your backbone it's not

[02:57:58] just one long bone though it's usually

[02:58:01] made up of 33 individual Bones called

[02:58:06] vertebrae vertebrae or vertebrae too

[02:58:11] although some of these usually Fus

[02:58:13] together leaving more of us with only 24

[02:58:16] the spine is divided in into different

[02:58:18] regions we have the cervical cervical or

[02:58:23] cervical spine is in your neck the

[02:58:27] thoracic or thoracic spine is in your

[02:58:30] upper back the lumber spine is in your

[02:58:34] lower back and the sacrum or sacrum is

[02:58:38] at the bottom of your spine finally the

[02:58:42] coxic Cox six that's a lot of consonant

[02:58:45] sounds there Cox six or tailbone is at

[02:58:50] the bottom another fun fact we're born

[02:58:52] with around 300 bones but as we grow

[02:58:55] some of them Fus together and by the

[02:58:57] time we're adults we only have around

[02:59:01] 206 okay next the reproductive system so

[02:59:05] people generally have either ovaries

[02:59:08] which produce eggs and hormones a uterus

[02:59:13] which is where a fetus develops during

[02:59:15] pregnancy fallopian tubes which eggs

[02:59:18] pass along from the ovaries to reach the

[02:59:21] uterus a cervix A narrow opening at the

[02:59:25] lower end of the uterus a vagina which

[02:59:29] is a passage that connects the cervix

[02:59:32] and the outside of the body and a vula

[02:59:36] which are the outer parts of the sex

[02:59:38] organs so these are typically found in

[02:59:42] female bodies but not always or people

[02:59:46] tend to have among other things these

[02:59:49] body parts typically found in male

[02:59:52] bodies but not always we have

[02:59:55] testicles testicles which produce sperm

[02:59:58] and testosterone a scrotum scrotum which

[03:00:02] holds and protects the testicles and a

[03:00:06] penis penis which is the external male

[03:00:10] sex organ now note that some people will

[03:00:13] have both of these some people will have

[03:00:16] none of these it's not a clear divide

[03:00:19] I'm simply happy to equip you with the

[03:00:22] vocabulary okay time for arms and hands

[03:00:26] we have the biceps which are at the top

[03:00:28] of your upper arm and they are the

[03:00:30] muscles that move when you Flex at the

[03:00:33] back we have the triceps here and as we

[03:00:36] move down further we have the forearm

[03:00:40] forearm at the end of that is the wrist

[03:00:43] which is really flexible thanks to the

[03:00:46] small bones in there called the carpes

[03:00:50] carpes then we've got the hand with the

[03:00:52] inner flat part called the palm palm we

[03:00:56] don't tend to pronounce the L there just

[03:00:58] palm palm the Bendy joints on each

[03:01:01] finger are called Knuckles Knuckles the

[03:01:05] K is silent let's zoom in on the fingers

[03:01:07] at the end of each finger we have a

[03:01:10] fingertip fingertip and they're

[03:01:12] generally super sensitive great for

[03:01:15] touching and feeling things the

[03:01:17] fingernail grows from the nail bed and

[03:01:20] around the edges we have the cuticle

[03:01:22] keeping the nail in place mine are not

[03:01:25] naturally pink I may have had some

[03:01:27] assistance with these okay let's tackle

[03:01:29] the legs and feet at the front of the

[03:01:33] thigh the thigh which is the top part of

[03:01:36] the leg just above the knee there are a

[03:01:38] group of muscles a group of four muscles

[03:01:41] called the

[03:01:43] quadriceps quadriceps sometimes we

[03:01:46] shorten it to quads if we head down

[03:01:48] further we find the knee which is pretty

[03:01:52] damn complex behind the knee we have the

[03:01:55] hamstring and the hamstring is made up

[03:01:58] of the muscles and tendons which run

[03:02:01] along the back of the leg tendons are

[03:02:03] the tissues that join muscles to bones

[03:02:06] we have the kneecap kneecap or patella

[03:02:11] patella that's the round bone at the

[03:02:14] front of your knee and did you know that

[03:02:16] there's also a little FL fluid filled

[03:02:18] sack called a burer burer that helps

[03:02:22] your knee move smoothly you can find

[03:02:24] bers next to lots of large joints like

[03:02:27] the shoulders and the hips moving down

[03:02:30] to the lower leg we have the calf the

[03:02:33] calf at the back that's the same as the

[03:02:35] word we use for a baby cow a calf it's

[03:02:38] the bulgy muscle that helps people stand

[03:02:41] on tiptoes at the front there is the

[03:02:44] shin the shin and the bone there is

[03:02:46] called the ti IA the tibia that's the

[03:02:49] one that's really painful to knock on a

[03:02:51] coffee table and the tibia is the second

[03:02:54] largest bone in your body after your

[03:02:56] femur femur which is your thigh bone at

[03:03:00] the back of the ankle you have your

[03:03:02] Achilles tendon Achilles tendon and it

[03:03:06] was named after the Greek hero who is

[03:03:08] invulnerable everywhere except his heel

[03:03:10] it's the strongest tendon in your body

[03:03:12] but it's also one of the most commonly

[03:03:14] injured now for your feet the heel is

[03:03:17] the bir bone at the back of the foot and

[03:03:19] it's called the calanus calanus it's the
