0:46
and polite or even just mourning with your close friends
0:49
or close co-workers the next phrase is good night good night is fine we
0:54
don't use this to greet other people we use it
0:56
when we're saying goodbye to other people at night uh family members particular mothers
1:00
and fathers to say good night to their children before they put them to
1:03
bed you can say it to your friend in a text message
1:05
or in an email
1:06
if you've been talking for a
1:07
while good night so the next word to talk about is goodbye uh use
1:11
it when you say goodbye to your friends
1:13
when you leave your friends goodbye bye of course take care have a nice
1:18
day peace out that's another way to say goodbye okay the next phrase is
1:22
I'm plus your name of course this is a way to introduce yourself you
1:25
can use I'm in my case Alicia I'm Alicia to introduce yourself in any
1:29
situation new friend I'm Alicia okay the next phrase is what's your name what's
1:34
your name is used to ask someone else what their name is
1:37
so what is your name sounds a bit tried to use what's your name
1:41
if you forget someone's name you can say sorry what's your name
1:44
or sorry what's your name again next phrase is nice to meet you nice
1:48
to meet you anytime you meet someone new nice to meet you is fine
1:52
good to meet you is a little more casual great to meet you sounds
1:55
very excited pleasure to meet you sounds like a maybe a formal situation
2:00
or a business context okay the next phrase is how are you how are
2:04
you is it's just a friendly way to check in with the other person
2:08
you can use it with friends your family your co-workers maybe even your boss
2:11
to a certain degree uh how are you how you doing the next phrase
2:16
is I'm fine thanks
2:18
and you uh if you saw English in three minutes we talked a lot
2:20
about this phrase uh instead of I'm fine thank you
2:23
and you say I'm good thanks how are you just shorten it make it
2:27
a little bit more natural how are you good how are you great how
2:31
are you not so good how are you okay
2:35
and so on so
2:35
when someone says how are you offer I usually say I'm good this week
2:40
I blah blah blah give some information about what you've been up to maybe
2:44
a hobby something that you did recently an event something interesting you saw whatever
2:48
people want to make
2:49
that connection with you
2:50
and it's a good chance for you to continue speaking the next word is
2:53
please please is a polite phrase used
2:56
when you want something from someone else you can use this
2:58
as a response when
2:59
when someone offers you something like in a restaurant for example would you like
3:03
more water would you like something to drink oh please the next phrase is
3:07
thank you thank you is used to express your appreciation you can use thank
3:10
you with everybody the next phrase is you're welcome you're welcome
3:14
when someone says thank you you can say you're welcome no biggie I use
3:19
no biggie as in no biggie is short for no big problem the next
3:22
word is yes yes of course yes means is any positive expression someone asks
3:30
you a question and the answer is a positive answer you say yes yep
3:34
uh-huh yeah we no next I'm guessing I know it yep the next word
3:40
is no no is a negative response to something
3:43
when you have to give a negative answer
3:45
so as you can probably guess um the long form of no is negative
3:50
I like to use nope it's very very casual not going to happen my
3:54
parents would use that with me to soften
3:56
that a little bit
3:57
if you want to show a negative response to something like let's go out
4:00
for dinner tonight what do you want to do like do you want to
4:02
go out not really no I don't think
4:07
so to soften it the next word is okay okay this word comes from
4:13
copy editors okay when they had to check a manuscript um they had to
4:18
label the manuscript all clear AC
4:20
but because they were copy editors
4:22
and they have a very very sick sense of humor they thought they would
4:25
mark it k for all clear to make a joke
4:28
because o and K do not not start all
4:30
and clear but it caught on among everybody in the world anyway okay uh
4:37
is used to agree with somebody else well it can be used actually to
4:41
express a positive or kind of a slight negative I feel transitioning in your
4:45
conversation you can say okay now we're going to talk about blah blah blah
4:49
okay the next phrase is excuse me excuse me it's used to get someone's
4:53
attention in English when you don't know the other person for example in a
4:57
store a supermarket Maybe stranger on the street you need to ask directions you
5:01
can use Excuse me you can use Excuse me in the supermarket excuse me
5:05
can you tell me where the hot sauce is
5:07
if you've done something rude in public you can use Excuse me I personally
5:11
do not do rude things in public ever I'm sorry is the next word
5:15
we're going to talk about I'm sorry is used to apologize
5:18
when you have made a mistake
5:19
or someone you know has made a mistake
5:21
and you're connected to it
5:21
or you just feel bad you can use I'm sorry you made a mistake
5:25
at work I'm sorry you forgot to feed your cat I'm sorry sorry sorry
5:31
about that you bump someone next to you oh sorry what time is it
5:34
is the next phrase
5:35
when you need to check what time it is what time is it
5:38
when you ask someone else what time it is maybe you say this to
5:41
yourself too check your watch check your phone check a clock pretty straightforward phrase
5:45
there aren't really any short versions
5:47
so that's an easy one where is the plus a location
5:51
so you can use this for um a building
5:54
or a store we don't we're not going to use this where is the
5:57
for a place a city name
5:58
or a estate name name
5:59
or a country name to do
6:01
that you would need to remove the
6:03
but where is the bank where is the Post Office you can use this
6:05
to ask directions to ask for help in your house
6:08
or at work where is the copy machine where is the file I need
6:13
where is the blah blah blah where is the bathroom is perhaps a very
6:17
important question to know the next one is may I use the restroom may
6:21
I use the restroom is a polite uh
6:23
and soft expression that you can use
6:24
if you need to use the toilet you need to use the washroom
6:27
when you're at someone's house for the very first time
6:30
when you're in a place
6:31
that you're that is new to you you can ask may I use the
6:33
restroom more casually can I go to the bathroom to be very polite you
6:37
can say may I go to the bathroom the next phrase is I would
6:40
like to order something you can use this at a restaurant probably
6:44
or in any situation where you need to place an order I'd like a
6:48
pizza I'd like a beer can I get the check please this will be
6:53
used at a restaurant
6:54
when you've finished your meal
6:55
and it's time to go can I get the check please in a very
6:58
very casual situation you can just say check please that's fine the next phrase
7:02
is see you soon see you soon is used with friends
7:05
and family members perhaps uh
7:07
when you expect to see them again soon after saying goodbye to them this
7:10
is used at the end of the conversation you're going separate directions you say
7:13
see you soon see you is also good
7:16
or just see you to make it a little more formal you can say
7:18
I'll see you again soon make a full sentence out of it
7:21
that way the next phrase is see you later see you later is very
7:24
similar to see you soon
7:25
but the point is with see you later is
7:27
that you're probably going to meet
7:29
that person again later on in the same day the last phrase is really
7:33
really is a very useful word
7:34
because you can use it to show you interested in a conversation with upward
7:37
intonation really really tell me more
7:41
or to show that you're not
7:42
so interested in the conversation with downward intonation really
7:46
so there are many other words
7:47
that you can use similar to really in this way like seriously
7:50
or oh oh and
7:53
so on so it's a really good practice for your intonation uh
7:56
so those are 25 very common words uh
7:59

English okay these are just a few hi everybody my name is Alicia
16:27
and today we're going to be talking about the the top 25 English nouns
16:30
these are the top 25 most commonly used nouns in English
16:34
so let's get started the first noun is the word name name of course
16:38
is used in common questions like what's your name my name is
16:41
and so on my favorite actor's name is Harrison Ford something like
16:44
that say my name say my name the next word is time time is
16:49
used of course to express the point in the day is used in questions
16:54
like what time is it can you tell me what time it is I
16:57
don't have any time lately
16:59
if you're really busy have you any time it's time for my favorite show
17:05
House of Cards Kevin's spy is cool the next noun is man please be
17:10
careful man is one of those words
17:11
that has an irregular plural form
17:13
when you need to use the plural of the word man you should say
17:16
men do not say mans it's very funny
17:18
but uh don't say it who's
17:20
that man or what's up man you can use man with men
17:24
or women interestingly enough the next word is woman women also has an irregular
17:29
plural form please say women
17:31
when referring to more than one woman not women's
17:35
or woman even though the uh the singular
17:38
and the plural form of women
17:39
and woman have the same spelling at the beginning w m the pronunciations are
17:44
different woman women so watch out for
17:47
that when you say this pretty woman the next word is person person you
17:52
can use it to refer generally to either a man
17:54
or a woman please be careful person's uh plural form becomes people
17:58
when you want to talk about another culture for example you can say such
18:02
and such country's people
18:03
or the people in
18:04
that country speak blah blah blah language the next word is thing generally an
18:09
inanimate object something that is
18:11
that just doesn't move like a water bottle
18:13
or you know a sweater a thing you can use it
18:16
when you don't know the word for something
18:17
so thing is very very useful what is this thing uh I like many
18:22
things for example Where the Wild Things Are a movie that's already out
18:26
that I totally knew about the next word is mother mother is the person
18:32
the woman who gave birth to you isn't
18:34
that exciting mother is commonly shortened to Mom
18:37
or mama or mommy ma Madre
18:40
if you speak Spanish mom Mamba
18:44
if you're me Mamita the next word is day of course day is used
18:50
in all of the days of the week Monday Tuesday Wednesday th Frid Satur

19:12
science this is an upcoming technology
19:15
or in the world of literature he's one of the most famous authors
19:19
so worlds can be used to refer just just to um kind of a
19:22
more specific hobby or a specific interest
19:25
or just a specific person's life war of Worlds father father is your dad
19:31
um other other common words used for father are dad Papa pop daddy po

FAA I use that one with my dad
19:40
while mother is used to refer to kind of like nurturing kind of like
19:44
you know the Earth
19:45
or things that like kind of give life to others father at least in
19:48
my mind there's kind of this image of um someone who's a little bit
19:51
more strict in your life the next word is Sister a female sibling is
19:56
your sister you can also use sister for a female person
19:59

20:42
but Brothers is abbreviated
20:43
as b r oos Super Mario Bros yeah just be careful about your use
20:46

next word is right this can be used to refer to the direction right
29:19
as in the opposite of left
29:21
or it can be used to refer to something
29:22
that is correct so in a sentence like you're right it means you're correct
29:27
that is the correct answer it can also be used to mean right
29:30
as in make a right turn uh
29:32
but you'll have to listen to the context to decide
29:34
which meaning is the true meaning this is not right could mean something that's
29:39
not fair or that you disagree strongly with this is not right the next
29:43
word is hi High refers to something
29:45

29:55
form just refer to something higher
29:57
or taller than something else highest meaning the most high squeaky level is high
30:02
I like high volume uh music the next word is different not the same

30:10
that having many different friends is a lot of fun do you enjoy listening
30:15
to different kinds of music the next word is small small smaller smallest small
30:20
and little are extremely similar I would pretty much use them in the same
30:24
way uh however we don't say
30:26
when I was a small kid we say
30:28
when I was a little kid
30:30
or you can say
30:31
when I was small the next word is large large
30:34
and big are very much the same I will say
30:36
though that large is used on clothing sizes big is not
30:39
when we talked about big we talked about how big can be used to
30:41
refer to something that's very popular large is not used to refer to something
30:45
that's that's popular large is used um for for sizing I feel only
30:50
so like a house can be large
30:52
but it's used to refer to like the physical size of something uh large
30:55
and in charge large large largest this is the largest H hippopotamus in the
31:04

31:45
come on guys uh younger younger Generations have a lot of uh new technologies
31:52
to experiment with young the next word is important important more important most important
31:59

32:00
that practicing another language is more important than playing my banjo I don't have

a banjo you can find something that's important to you
32:10
and put your time into it I think drinking a lot of water every
32:13

32:39
in my class I'm the shortest person in the room short just refers to

32:43
so it can refer to a size
32:44
or it can also refer to a concept um
32:46

33:19
was a story about a tomato
33:22
if I don't do anything this will be really boring oh far referring to
33:29
distance something that is not near to you is far how can I go
33:33
farther far the farthest I've ever run is 7 kilm I'm not a runner

34:22
that came out so let's talk about them come on the first word the
34:26
first phrase is come on come come on is a phrase that's used to
34:29
encourage other people like let's go to the party come on
34:32

though don't say that out loud maybe
34:47
because they might get upset with you come on over come on over baby
34:52
that's a good one yeah come on over to my house
34:55
or come on over to the bar you this weekend it's going to be
34:58
a good time so you can use it
35:00
as part of a separate phrase
35:01
as well not just by itself believe the next word is believe believe is
35:06
used a verb it's a verb um
35:08
when you trust in something
35:11
or that you feel
35:11
that you know uh
35:12
that something exists or something is possible
35:15
or something is capable um many people use it
35:17
as in like uh I believe in you to show
35:20
that they think that the other person
35:22
or the other group of people is capable of doing something
35:24
or um people use it for their faith
35:27
as well like I believe in God
35:28
or I don't believe in God for something
35:31
that you you have your faith in
35:33
and another person or in religion whatever
35:36
that might be consistency consistency is a noun the consistency of a liquid can
35:42
be really thick or kind of thin
35:44
or you can also use consistency to talk about um something that's important
35:48
that you need when you're studying a language for example consistency
35:52
so consistency refers to doing the same thing the same way over
35:56
and over and over again studying every day
35:58
or making a habit out of studying creating consistency in your study patterns will
36:01
really help you in learning another language watch our videos every week we're consistent
36:06
friend friend that's good I'm glad
36:09
that that was a word
36:09
that was chosen from the Facebook thing friend um yeah
36:12
so someone that you feel close to
36:14
or someone that you get along really well with is your friend in a
36:17
sentence I went out drinking with my friends yesterday
36:20
and that was a bad idea friend also can be used um for the
36:23
people who follow you
36:24
or the people who you're connected to on social media
36:26
so your Facebook friend maybe Twitter you can have Twitter friends um maybe Instagram
36:31
friends people that you haven't actually met
36:33
but that you somehow have a connection with online people are now calling them
36:36
your friends um but whether
36:38
or not they are true friends remains to be seen what is a true
36:43
friend a true friend is someone who you can tell all your things to
36:50
and they won't judge you for it Gate Crash this this uh Gate Crash
36:56
means to go to an event without having been invited to the event I've
37:00
also heard um just crash I haven't heard it with gate
37:02
but I've just heard crash
37:03
as in to crash a party
37:05
so in a sentence I once crashed a house party I wasn't invited
37:08
but someone somehow we had a connection
37:10
and we just showed up
37:12
and had a good time
37:13
but usually gate Crashers are perceived
37:14
as um they're very unwelcome like you you shouldn't be there great great is
37:20
just a positive word how are you I'm great oh how was
37:23
that movie it was great anytime
37:25
that you want to express some sort of positivity you can use the word
37:29
great great you're great E Pizza is pretty great I haven't eaten Pizza in
37:34
a while Pizza I don't know I love the phrase I don't know I
37:38
talked about this phrase in um one of the English topics videos
37:41
that we did with Michael check
37:43
that out if you haven't already I don't know of course is used
37:46
when you do not know information you don't know the answer your teacher asks
37:50
you a question in math class
37:51
or something and you can say I don't know for I have no ideas
37:55
so you can use it in this way
37:57
but I like to use I don't know a lot to transition in my
38:00
speech when I don't have a good idea
38:02
or when I'm out of things to say
38:05
and I want to kind of pass the conversation to the next person I
38:08
go I don't know I don't know you can use this
38:10
when you're trying to make a decision for example
38:12
and you kind of want to encourage the other person to like help make
38:15
the decision so one person might say what do you want to do
38:18
and you can say I don't know what do you want to do I
38:20
don't know what do you want to do
38:22
and eventually somebody has to make the decision
38:24
but you can kind of pass back
38:25
and forth with I don't know I don't know
38:27
and this sort of soft way never mind yeah never mind means don't worry
38:32
about it or um maybe like stop thinking about
38:35
that I don't need to think about
38:37
that anymore never mind like you want to move on in the conversation you
38:40
can say never mind
38:41
or you make an embarrassing comment never mind what is happening there was there's
38:44
like a creaky cracky thing happening never mind oh I just used it never
38:50
mind no it wasn't on purpose
38:53
so I just used never mind
38:54
that was pretty good passion passion passion refers to something
38:59
that you feel very strongly about positively usually
39:02
so you can feel passion for your studies you can feel passion for your
39:05
hobby you can feel passion for your family
39:08
or your friend I think we use passion more
39:10
so to talk about um like a love relationship of a romantic relationship
39:15
so you can say I have passion for my wife I have passion for
39:18
my husband or like I have passion for this hobby
39:20
that I do it's a really positive word
39:22
so in a sentence let's see I think a relationship should be full of
39:26
passion have passion for music I do I have passion for music I constantly
39:31
listening to music uh from the moment I wake up in the morning I
39:34
literally have headphones in in my bed
39:36
and I'm listening to my latest the latest new things on my SoundCloud stream
39:39
that's true sparkler why did you guys pick sparkler sparkler a sparkler is a
39:46
a small firework like a handheld firework
39:48
that you can use like in Fourth of July you light one end of
39:52
it and it kind of goes it makes
39:53
that sound too it goes
39:55

40:04
do on the 4th of July in America is to light sparklers with my
40:07

40:10
so those were let's see how many 10 those were 10 really cool words
40:14
that you guys chose uh from Facebook thanks a lot for participating
40:17
and sending in those words uh it's interesting to see what you guys chose
40:21
uh thanks again for watching today
40:23
and we will see you again next time bye we're stirring the pot here
40:26
at English class 101 1com hi everybody my name is Alicia
40:42
and today we're going to be talking about 10 of the hardest words to
40:45
pronounce according to you guys
40:46
so we collected some information from you on Facebook thanks very much for sending
40:50
in your ideas and these were the top 10 uh most difficult words for
40:54
you to pronounce so let's get started absolutely absolutely absolutely might be tough to
41:00
pronounce absolutely means 100% absolutely is an agreement phrase are you going to
41:06
that music event next week absolutely yes 100% definitely absolutely loot like a loot
41:14
l u t e b Grime B Grime apparently means dirty I never heard
41:20
nor used this word before
41:22
but perhaps it's difficult to pronounce big Grime the door to my apartment was
41:27
beg grimed in the storm last week breakfast the next word is breakfast breakfast
41:34
is hard to pronounce
41:35
but that is the meaning of breakfast you're breaking the fast
41:37
so a fast is a period of time without eating
41:40
and to break means to to well in this case breaking something it doesn't
41:44
refer to like crushing a thing
41:47
but um stopping something to break the fast of the night in other words
41:52
so you're fasting during the night you're not eating
41:54
so you wake up in the morning you break the fast
41:56
but we don't say breakfast we say breakfast in a sentence this morning for
42:00
breakfast I ate a bowl of cereal with grapes
42:04
and I had a coffee too colleague colleague yes colleague many of my students
42:10
struggle with this they say colleague
42:12
or they say call
42:14
or something cuz the spelling of this word is really really strange there's
42:17
that gu e at the end
42:19
or more commonly I feel it's just co-worker uh colleague sounds slightly more formal
42:23
to me than cooworker somebody who you work with
42:25
or somebody who you have a business relationship with in some sense could be
42:29
a person from another company could be somebody from your own company anyone who
42:33
you do business dealings with is your colleague can be your colleague in a
42:37
sentence I'm going to a networking event with my colleagues next week misscellaneous
42:43
that m i c miscellaneous it's just the spelling I think maybe is confusing
42:49
for this word miscellaneous miscellaneous just means other stuff
42:54
or just other uncategorized stuff I keep lot of miscellaneous items in a drawer
42:59
in my house maybe they don't they don't really fit into one category like
43:04
it's not kitchen things it's not clothing it's just sort of a mixture of
43:08
of things miscellaneous things negotiation the next word is negotiation negotiation yeah there are
43:14
two T's in this
43:15
but neither T is a hard T they're both very soft
43:18
that sh sh sound
43:19
because they're followed by the I
43:21
and another vow the she a negotiation negotiation refers to a compromise between two
43:28
people you're trying to make a decision
43:29
and you negotiate in this case this a noun form negotiation business negotiations continued
43:35
for more than a month with this important deal realm realm I see why
43:40
this one's hard it's
43:41
that R part little realm it's a weird word isn't it it's used to
43:46
talk about just like kind of a fantasy world is sort of the Nuance
43:49
of this phrase the realm uh in a sentence let us go to the
43:52
realm where the elves live
43:55
and eat their bread unfortunately the next word is unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately just means
44:04
too bad uh you can use this to to start bad news for example
44:08
like unfortunately I can't come to work today
44:10
because I'm sick or unfortunately I broke my arm at the basketball game last
44:15
week or unfortunately my haircut is bad vocabulary vocabulary vocabulary vocab vocabulary VOC abary
44:29
vocabulary vocabulary just refers to the uh words in a language my vocabulary in
44:36
my second language is really really low I need a bigger vocabulary
44:40
so that I can express myself more clearly world world a I see why
44:46
this one's hard world world hard to pronounce
44:49
that rld D I think together is tough plus
44:52
that w at the beginning
44:53
as well it's such a short word
44:54
but you have to say
44:55
so many weird things to same time world your tongue is going like this
45:01
in a sentence I have traveled all over the world
45:05
and the best food is in my stomach that's the end
45:11
so those were 10 hard to pronounce words give them a try slowly at
45:15
first and just kind of try to work up to saying it at a
45:18
more natural speed if you like thank you

45:29
and we'll see you again next time bye you don't need new shoes you
45:37
need new feet why is the Jurassic Park them songs coming out hi everybody
45:54
my name is Alicia
45:55
and today we're going to be talking about 15 questions
45:57
that you should know
45:58
so these are 15 questions
46:00
that not necessarily um you need to know how to ask them perhaps you
46:04
know um some of the questions already
46:06
but you will probably also hear these questions
46:08
as well so um we'll practice a few different answers for these questions too
46:13
so let's get started do you like American food the first question is do
46:18
you like American food you will probably be asked this question do you like
46:22
American food you can either say yes
46:24
or no or you can give a specific example example someone says do you
46:28
like American food yes I love Philly cheese steaks I would recommend saying yes
46:33
or a little or
46:36
or or you can just say I don't know what do you recommend have
46:39
you been to the United States the next question is have you been to
46:43
the United States have you been to the United States
46:45
so someone asks you have you been to the United States you should reply
46:49
with either yes I have
46:50
or no I haven't
46:52
or maybe no I haven't yet
46:54
but I want to
46:55
when you want to ask someone this question you can say have you been
46:58
to Japan have you been to Egypt have you been to China whatever you
47:02
can use your own country
47:03
when you ask this question how are you how are you
47:06
when someone asks how are you don't say I'm fine thank you
47:10
and you please don't say
47:12
that please say something more natural like good great I'm good how are you
47:18
something like that is much better than I'm fine thank you
47:21
and you be a little more genuine in your reply also
47:24
when you ask this question maybe one point to help sound a little more
47:27
natural when you ask someone else don't like try to say how are you
47:31
how are you instead of how are you
47:33
or uh and make make sure your intonation is correct I've had a few
47:36
people ask me uh how are you like a little too like yeah with
47:41
this question or like how are you
47:44
but how are you should be the intonation with this how are you how
47:48
are you is a little bit more natural how long have you been studying
47:52
English how long have you been studying English how long have you been studying
47:56
English English great question to know the answer to your answer should be I
48:00
have been studying English for blah blah blah years
48:04
or blah blah blah months
48:05
or blah blah weeks
48:06
but if that's too much for you you can just use the time how
48:09
long have you been studying English 6 years how long have you been studying
48:13
English two months so just pick the time uh
48:16
if if the whole sentence is quite long for you how old are you
48:19
we don't really go around asking people how old they are like just the
48:23
first time you meet them necessarily especially uh
48:26
if they're old old much older than you like uh in particular it's sometimes
48:30
considered rude to ask especially women uh how old they are
48:33
so just be careful with this question
48:35
but if you're about the same age group um you know maybe you're at
48:37
an event or a party
48:39
or something and you just want to check how old the other person is
48:41
you can use this phrase
48:43
when you reply to this just say uh I'm plus the number to make
48:48
a really simple response
48:49
so how old are you I'm 15 how old are you I'm 42 whatever
48:53
the answer is just stick I'm in front of it not I
48:56
but I'm I am
48:58
but use the contracted form to sound more natural I'm number
49:01
if you want to make a full sentence you can say I'm Number years
49:05
old don't forget that s in years I'm a million years old what did
49:11
you say what did you say
49:13
if you couldn't quite hear something
49:14
that someone else said you can use this question to confirm sorry what did
49:18
you say it's a little nicer than just saying what what did you say
49:22
or what did you just say sorry what did you say I couldn't hear
49:26
he you what's this what's this
49:29
when you don't know what something is what's this
49:31
when you're out for dinner you're out for lunch
49:33
or something and you find a new food you
49:35
or you just you're curious just say what's this to reply to this question
49:39
just say it's blah blah blah what's your name what's your name of course
49:44
you should know how to ask this question
49:46
and how to answer this question what's your name is a little more natural
49:50
than what is your name again contracted form will help you sound much more
49:54
natural so what's your name someone asks you you can just give your name
49:58
Alicia that's fine you can say Alicia you can say I'm Alicia that's fine
50:02
too you can say my name is
50:05
or my names Alicia either any of those are fine in a more formal
50:11
situation a business situation I would I would use my name is blah blah
50:14
blah while I shake hands
50:16
or something what's your phone number the next one is what's your phone number
50:20
I would not ask this question right away like maybe you've met the person
50:24
a few times but You' like to contact them whether it's
50:26
because you're romantically interested in them
50:28
or because you want to be better friends with them
50:30
but just if you meet someone for the first time
50:34
and you're like what's your phone number it's like a little it's a little
50:38
too much so use this question after you've met the person a few times
50:42
and you know you want to become better friends
50:44
when you want to give your phone number just say it's
50:47
and the number that's fine just it's blah blah blah
50:50
or my phone number is blah blah blah with the number 5551 million 526
50:57
when is your birthday
50:58
so maybe you want to plan a birthday party for example
51:00
or it's just another fun question the first time you meet someone
51:02
when is your birthday
51:04
so when you want to tell someone your birthday just give the month
51:07
and the date um January 15th August 42nd that's a real day
51:14
if you want to make a full sentence you can say my birthday is
51:18
month date where are you from the next word the next question is where
51:22
are you from this can refer to your country
51:25
or your city M
51:26
but I I feel like prop more stuff in it refers to your country
51:29
so where are you from your answer should be I'm from place I'm from
51:34
China I'm from Japan I'm from Vietnam I'm from America whatever I'm from where
51:40
did you learn English the next question is where did you learn English where
51:44
did you learn English
51:46
if you're speaking great English you can say I learned English at englishclass101.com cuz
51:52
you did cuz you're watching now anyway where did you learn English in this
51:57
case in the case of like these videos I learned English online
52:00
or I learned English from uh
52:02
and then the school name
52:03
or the program name
52:04
so I learned English from englishclass101.com for example
52:07
if you studied English at University you can say I learned English at University
52:12
or I learned English from my friends perhaps where do you live where do
52:17
you live depending on the situation where you ask this this can mean your
52:21
country like uh I live in America I live in China sometimes it's about
52:26
the place in in the city where you live sometimes it's about the country
52:28
where you live so you can kind of feel I think
52:31
which question which type of question is being asked where do you work where
52:35
do you work is talking about your job you can use the pattern I
52:40
work at company name
52:43
or I work for company name either is fine I work at ABC company
52:49
I work for ABC company either is okay
52:51
but you know if
52:53
if you have answered with the wrong information the other person will just ask
52:56
you like oh I mean where is your office
52:58
or oh I mean
52:59
which company do you work for use the force for this one where is
53:03
the bathroom where is the bathroom very important question where is the bathroom in
53:07
American English where is the bathroom
53:09
or where is the restroom is more common than where is the toilet using
53:13
the word toilet is a little bit too Direct in American English
53:16
so I recommend bathroom
53:17
or restroom so those are 15 questions
53:20
that you should definitely know um know how to ask these questions
53:23
and know how to answer these questions they are very useful uh
53:27

because you're amazing did you know my birthday is January 15th before you said
53:48
that no is it really yeah is it really yeah Thunderdome in my stomach
53:55
that's going at the end of a video I'm sure steak hi everybody my
54:11
name is Alicia and welcome back to top words today's topic is 10 lines
54:15
you need for introducing yourself
54:17
so let's go hello it's nice to meet you hello it's nice to meet
54:21
you you can only use this the first time
54:24
that you meet someone
54:25
if you say this to somebody after you have met them already you're going
54:28
to seem either a like you've completely forgotten meeting them
54:31
or B like you are a very strange person for saying it's nice to
54:34
meet you again so
54:36
when you use this the first time you can shake hands with someone
54:39
and say hello it's nice to meet you my name is the next phrase
54:44
is my name is blah blah blah in my case my name is Alicia
54:49
you can use this again
54:50
when you're introducing yourself
54:51
or if you need to reintroduce yourself you can use this pattern
54:55
when you meet somebody at a party for example you can say my name
54:58
is blah blah blah my name is Barbara my name is Stevens you can
55:06
shorten this you can say my names my names blah blah blah I'm from
55:11
after you've said your name after you've shaken hands you can say I'm from
55:14
the US I'm from Japan I'm from Turkey I'm from your mom's house I'm
55:20
from I'm from a cave in southern Europe I'm from your country
55:27
or I'm from your city I'm from the future I have to go I
55:35
live in I live in blah blah blah you can use your city uh
55:40
you can use your country you can use even maybe
55:42
if you live near a certain station you can use the name of the
55:45
station uh where you live
55:46
so for example I live in America is fine I live in Los Angeles
55:51
is fine I live in New York is fine
55:53
so your neighborhood is fine
55:55
if someone says where do you live
55:57
and you say I live in an apartment it's like H what uh
56:02
so please use your the region
56:04
or the location where you live not the type of place where you live
56:08
IMA if you hear the question what do you do it it's asking about
56:13
your job in English people don't say what is your job that's not the
56:17
question that we ask instead the question is what do you do
56:20
and the correct response to
56:21
that is I'm a
56:23
or I'm an blah blah blah followed by your job title
56:26
so if someone says what do you do you can say I'm a teacher
56:30
what do you do I'm an engineer what do you do I'm a dut
56:36
shop tester I'm years old
56:40
when someone asks how old are you you can say I'm blah blah blah
56:44
years old don't forget the S at the end of this
56:47
if you like you can shorten this phrase to just I'm plus your age
56:51
so I'm 65 I'm 13 whatever I'm this many sometimes children will say
57:00
that how old are you they'll say I'm this many it's kind of cute
57:03
first time you meet someone you might not ask how old are you
57:06
if it's in a friendly case like a in a party after you've spoken
57:09
to the person a little bit it's okay um
57:12
but just try to be sensitive to the context try to be sensitive to
57:16
the people around you
57:17
and if you sense
57:17
that maybe there's a very large age gap between you it might be better
57:21
just not to ask the question at all I enjoy many of my students
57:25
say what is your hobby um
57:27
but that's not something
57:29
that native speakers will say no native speakers say what is your hobby instead
57:33
we ask uh what do you like to do
57:35
or what do you do in your free time this is a much more
57:38
natural question than what's your hobby the answer to this
57:41
then is I enjoy
57:43
or I like plus a noun phrase
57:45
so for example what do you like to do I like listening to music
57:50
or I enjoy listening to music what do you do in your free time
57:53
I like watching movies what do you do in your free time time I
57:56
like baking cakes what do you do in your free time I enjoy tap
58:02
dancing what do you do in your free time I enjoy making new friends
58:09
a one of my hobbies is one of my hobbies is blah blah blah
58:14
with this one it's probably better to use a short easily
58:18
or easy to understand hobby
58:20
if you're explaining a hobby people are going to expect
58:22
that it's going to be something
58:24
that they know about like photography you're cooking
58:26
or dancing or swimming
58:28
or whatever so try to pick something
58:30
that will allow you to to continue the conversation that's why movies
58:33
or cooking or books
58:34
or you know sports are a good thing to share one of my hobbies
58:38
is snowboarding I've been learning English for
58:42
if you are learning English
58:43
if you're studying English you can use this expression
58:45
if someone asks you how long have you been studying English you can say
58:49
I've been studying English for amount of time
58:53
or I've been learning English
58:54
or I've been practicing English
58:55
or I've been speaking English for a certain amount of time I've been studying
59:00
English since elementary school is also okay to use I've been studying English since
59:05
I was in college just be careful for is used for a length of
59:09
time and since is used for a specific point in time at
59:12
which you started something
59:13
so you can try
59:14
and mix it up
59:15
and use a few different uh Expressions there
59:17
so I've been learning English for a long time I'm still learning English you
59:23
should do that too okay I'm learning English englishclass101.com this probably could be used
59:29
in response to where did you learn English
59:32
or where are you studying English
59:34
or how are you studying English you can respond with I'm learning English at
59:38
englishclass101.com or I'm learning English at uh my school I'm learning English at uh
59:45
my private teacher's house for example
59:47
so a little bit of grammar in this sentence why do we use the
59:51
progressive tense I'm learning English
59:53
if you say I'm learning it sounds like you're still continuing your studies
59:57
if you say I learned English at englishclass101.com it sounds like you're finished uh
60:02
like you you're finished studying there's nothing else for you to study uh
60:04
so you're done um
60:06
so it's it's much much more natural to actually use the progressive I'm learning
60:11
or I'm studying uh
60:12
when you're talking about your studies
60:14
when you're talking about your hobbies um than it is to say I learned
60:17
or I studied and
60:19
and and and uh
60:21
so those were 10 lines
60:22
that you need to introduce yourself
60:24
and to help give the other a little bit of information
60:27
and carry the conversation forward
60:29

65:46
again for watching and we'll see you again soon bye I guess I don't
65:51
really need to do
65:52
that I'm so sorry amped all the time Japanese Bug Battle hi everybody my
66:10
name is Alicia and today we're going to be talking about 10 phrases
66:14
that you never want to hear
66:15
so let's get into it have you gained weight recently the first phrase is
66:20
have you gained weight recently
66:21
if someone is asking you this question it means you look bigger than you
66:26
did before so for most people this is not a good thing have you
66:31
gained weight recently yeah I have I've been eating too much junk food
66:35
or I don't think
66:36
so or no I don't have your money today
66:41
so this phrase means maybe you were expecting money from someone
66:45
and they don't have it for you today
66:47
so if your boss says this for example you're probably going to be really
66:50
upset I'm sorry but I don't have your money today really I really needed
66:55
it today I told you
66:56
so kidss might use this phrase I told you
66:58
so this is kind of an overconfident phrase I Told You
67:02
So if you say told you it's a little bit lighter
67:06
but I told you
67:07
so like nobody wants to hear
67:09
that oh I was wrong
67:10
or maybe this other person thinks oh they're they were correct like they're making
67:14
it into like I'm I somehow know more than you do
67:17
so in a situation let's see oh I shouldn't have gone out drinking last
67:21
night I should have gone home
67:22
when you went home I told you
67:24
so drunk person it's not you it's me
67:28
but this is a very common phrase for breakups to show like you don't
67:31
want to hurt the other person's feelings it's just it's just some problem I
67:35
have but either way nobody nobody wants to hear this phrase it's not you
67:39
it's me look I'm really sorry
67:41
but I think that it's better
67:42
if we end our relationship here it's not you it's it's me it's not
67:46
you it's me really I'm
67:47

67:53
make you pie sorry forgot sorry I forgot I'm guilty of using this phrase
67:59
quite a lot unfortunately I am I am a terrible forgetful human
68:03

71:41
your own flashcard decks
71:42
and finally Master English okay let's get started first is insignificant insignificant insignicant
71:55
so the word insignificant means something
71:57
that is not important it's not special
72:00
if we break this word down we have the prefix in
72:03
which means not or no
72:05
and the word significant
72:06
which means something that is important
72:08
or something that we need to care about
72:10
or pay attention to a lot
72:12
so together this means not significant
72:14
or not important or not something
72:16
that we need to care
72:17
or think about a lot insignificant insignificant amount insignificant amount insignificant amount famous famous
72:36
famous so something that is famous is something
72:39
or someone that is very very well known
72:43
so this is usually someone like a celebrity like an actor
72:46
or an actress maybe they're a musician they're part of a band perhaps they're
72:51
an artist they create paintings
72:53
or maybe they write something
72:54
that very very well known
72:56
so someone who is famous is known by many different people
73:00
and something that is famous is also known by many different people for example
73:05
famous actor famous actor famous actor sneeze sneeze sneeze
73:20
so sneeze is a verb
73:21
and a noun to sneeze the verb means
73:24
that feeling that you have in your nose
73:26
when your body needs to move air out of it really quickly we have
73:29
thatw right that's called the noun form sneeze
73:32
and as a verb we say to sneeze
73:35
so that means to do
73:36
that action for example the woman is sneezing the woman is sneezing the woman
73:44
is sneezing casual casual casual
73:53
so casual is the opposite of formal casual means something
73:57
that is kind of relaxed something
73:58
that is laidback something that's not super polite
74:02
so when we have everyday conversations with our friends we usually use casual language
74:07
or we dress in casual clothes
74:09
or we have kind of a casual feeling for example casual clothing casual clothing
74:22
casual clothing guitar guitar guar this word has kind of an interesting spelling it
74:27
starts with GUI but we pronounce this
74:30
as G so a guitar is a musical instrument we play it like this
74:34
usually and this is something
74:36
that is played all over the world there are lots
74:38
and lots of talented people who play guitar
74:40
and they are called guitarists for example some of them play a six string
74:46
guitar six string guitar six string guitar next is breathe breathe breathe breathe okay
74:58
this word is a verb it means to take air into your body
75:01
and to put air out of your body this process of getting air into
75:05
your body and moving it out is called breathing make sure you're cautious of
75:10
the spelling of this to breathe this word has an e at the end
75:14
yeah we also have a noun
75:17
that looks very similar
75:18
and is related to this process that's called breath
75:20
but there's no e at the end
75:22
so be careful when you use this
75:23
as a verb make sure you don't forget
75:25
that e for example breathe deeply breathe deeply breathe deeply spit spit spit
75:38
so this is kind of a gross vocabulary word
75:41
but it's important to know this is a noun
75:43
and a verb so
75:45
as a verb to spit means to force whatever is in your mouth out
75:49
of your mouth so
75:50
if you're eating something for example
75:52
and you spit it out
75:53
that means you force it out out of your mouth
75:55
if you have nothing in your mouth just the water the liquid in your
75:58
mouth and you put
75:59
that out of your mouth that's called spitting
76:02
so two spit means to force something out of your mouth
76:05
as a noun spit means just the liquid inside your mouth
76:09
so an example no spitting no spitting no spitting dentist dentist dentist
76:21
so the dentist is the tooth doctor
76:24
so when you you need to have your teeth cleaned
76:26
when you need to talk to a doctor about something happening in your mouth
76:31
with your teeth with your gums these kinds of things you visit a dentist
76:35
it's important to see a dentist regularly
76:37
so for example see a dentist see a dentist see a dentist cavity cavity
76:52
cavity so a cavity usually refers to a hole in your tube tooth
76:55
so this is a very common type of tooth damage
76:58
when you have a cavity you need to go
77:00
and see a dentist to get it repaired for example deep cavity deep cavity
77:08
deep cavity asthma asthma Asma
77:16
so this word has very interesting spelling there's a th in the middle
77:19
but we don't say Asma we say Asma
77:23
so kind of ignore
77:24
that but try to remember remember it
77:25
when you're spelling this word
77:26
so asthma is a very very common type of illness
77:30
that affects the lungs
77:31
so someone who has asthma may have trouble breathing normally
77:35
or maybe they are irritated their lungs get irritated by some kind of allergic
77:40
reaction or maybe they have to take some kind of medication to help them
77:44
to breathe regularly so different people have different kinds of asthma
77:48
but this is a very common illness
77:50
that affects the lungs
77:51
so here's an example expression asthma inhaler asthma inhaler Asma inhaler let's review I'm
78:03
going to describe a word
78:04
or phrase in English see
78:06

78:16
the word that means something
78:18
that is not big something
78:20
that is not important something
78:22
that is not significant insignificant insignificant next do you remember how to describe someone
78:38
or something that many many people know about lots of people around the country
78:44
around the city around the world famous famous what about the word we use
78:59

79:06
or when we feel sick what word means to quickly expel air from the
79:21
nose sneeze sneeze do you remember how to say the word that's the opposite
79:26

82:47
word is a noun
82:49
and Allergy is a negative reaction
82:52
that you have to something else
82:54
so for example people might have an allergy to a certain food to a
82:59
certain kind of plant maybe to an animal
83:01
so this causes a reaction in the body for example maybe your eyes get
83:07
really really watery or you start to sneeze a lot these are examples of
83:11
allergies for example allergy to pollen allergy to pollen allergy to pollen next is
83:22
boarding pass boarding pass boarding pass okay a boarding pass is a piece of
83:31
paper or a digital pass
83:33
that you can show to Airline staff

when you need to get on a plane
83:37
so a boarding pass includes your flight number your seat number probably the gate
83:43
that your flight will take off from
83:45
so a boarding pass is necessary to get on a plane for example boarding
83:50
pass for the flight boarding pass for the flight boarding pass for the flight
83:59
next is education education education okay education is a noun education refers to the
84:12
things that we learn usually in school
84:15
or as well in our lifetime
84:17
so when we talk about going to school we talk about receiving education
84:22
so that's all of the different kind of knowledge
84:25
and the different experiences
84:27
that we have as kids becoming adults
84:29
and then after that we have other forms of Education other forms of knowledge

so English is a very interesting language it pulls inspiration from many other languages
85:11
and countries and cultures around the world with English we have kind of interesting
85:15
spellings to think about interesting ways to pronounce words
85:19
and there are many different dialects to consider in English
85:22
as well here's an example sentence Mr Suzuki teaches English Mr Suzuki teaches English
85:29
Mr Suzuki teaches English next is law law law
85:39
so law can refer to two different things law can refer to a country
85:45
or a city or a state's rules their formal rules are called laws
85:50
and when we go to school to study those things
85:53
because we want to become lawyers we also refer to the study of those
85:58
things as law for example law school law school law school next is flute
86:15
flute flute so a flute is a musical instrument a flute is played in
86:19
this position so we use our two hands next to our face to play
86:23
the flute it's a long kind of tube shaped instrument
86:26
that makes a high pitched sound this is very very common in orchestras
86:31
and in Symphonies and in maybe High School bands
86:34
as well for example silver flute silver flute silver flute okay next is it

Department it Department it Department okay
86:54
and an IT department is a very very common section in many companies
86:59

so usually the IT department is responsible for helping people with their computer problems
87:10
with other technology problems media problems
87:13
and so on for example call the IT department call the IT department call
87:20
the IT department next is business trip business trip business trip a business trip
87:32
is a trip that you take specifically for business
87:36
so that means it's different from a vacation
87:38
when you take a vacation it's just for fun
87:41
when you have a business trip you have to go somewhere for work
87:44
and maybe you have some fun
87:46
while you're there also
87:47
but the main purpose of your travels is work

or sell goods and services to other people
88:24
so that can mean creating advertisements it can mean writing things on a company
88:28
website and so on for example marketing department marketing department marketing department next is
88:44
popular popular popular so popular means something
88:47
that many people like
88:49
so when something is popular
88:51
that means that a lot of people think
88:53
that it's really really good be careful not to confuse popular
88:57
and famous when something is famous it means many people know about it
89:01
or maybe many people know about a person
89:03
when something is popular it means lots of people know about it
89:06
and lots of people like it
89:08
so we can talk about people in this way we can talk about places
89:11
like restaurants and we can also talk about things with the word popular for
89:16
example popular man popular man popular man let's review I'm going to describe a

93:43
and finally Master English okay let's get started first is accounting accounting accounting accounting
93:54
refers to keeping track of money
93:57
so in companies and organizations there is usually an accounting department it's a department
94:04
of the company that is responsible for keeping track of money related things
94:08
so where does the money go where are the receipts what was the money
94:12
used for and so on we also have personal accounting where we track our
94:16
own money for example accounting documents accounting documents a account in documents next is
94:32
bonus bonus bonus a bonus means something extra it means something
94:36
that is not part of the original plan
94:39
and in many cases it refers to extra money
94:42
so if you receive a bonus from your job for example it means
94:46
that you receive extra money at your job you might also just get something
94:51
called a bonus at something like an event
94:53
or at a restaurant
94:54
or maybe at some kind of concert
94:56
that you go to where you receive something extra
94:59
as a kind of gift
95:00
but usually this refers to money from work for example annual bonus annual bonus
95:12
annual bonus next is light light light
95:17
so there are a couple of different uses of the word light
95:21
but for this video I want to focus on the one
95:23
that refers to weight
95:25
so this light is the opposite of heavy
95:28
so something that is heavy weighs a lot it's difficult to pick up something
95:33
that is light does not weigh a lot it's very easy to pick up
95:36
for example light feather light feather light feather next is trombone trombone trombone a
95:53
trombone is a very common musical instrument this is a brass instrument it's very
95:57
unique in that it's played by moving a slide up
96:01
and down to change the pitch of the instrument for example brass trombone brass
96:08
trombone brass trombone next is departure departure departure
96:21
so departure refers to the time usually
96:24
that you leave somewhere we see this word a lot
96:26
as part of a schedule we can use departure with a time
96:30
or a place to talk about the location
96:32
or the time at
96:34
which we leave some place
96:36
so for example departure date departure date departure date next is arrival arrival Aral
96:50
arrival refers to the opposite of departure departure means to leave someplace arrival means
96:56
to come to someplace
96:57
as your destination so arrival can be used to talk about a schedule
97:01
and it can also be used to talk about a location for example arriv
97:05
Ral gate arriv Ral gate a rival gate next is violin violin violin a
97:22
violin is a very common
97:22
and very popular musical instrument this is a string instrument
97:26
that is small enough to be held in the hands next to the face
97:30
it's played by drawing a bow across the strings of the instrument for example
97:35
play the violin play the violin play the violin earth science earth science earth
97:50
science earth science is probably easy to guess it is science
97:54
that is related to the Earth
97:57
so the study of natural parts of our planet
98:00
so that can mean rocks
98:01
and trees and nature
98:02
and how the Earth moves
98:04
and so on all of these things are related to earth science here's an
98:08
example phrase earth science research earth science research earth science research next is science
98:24
science s science science is a very very big category of study science is
98:29
related to the study of many different things in the world
98:32
that are naturally occurring
98:34
so this could be people it could be animals it could be the planet
98:38
and environment it could be volcanoes it could be space it could be chemical
98:42
reactions these are all types of science here's an example phrase study of science
98:49
study of science study of science next is prescription prescription prescription a prescription is
99:06
something a doctor gives to you
99:07
that you then take to a farmacy to receive medicine
99:12
so in the past we would receive a written prescription the doctor would write
99:15
the name of the medicine on a piece of paper
99:18
and give it to us now some people might have digital prescriptions
99:22

104:17
that you take with you on your trip
104:20
when you bring a suitcase a backpack a hand hand bag another type of
104:24
bag we call all of
104:26
that luggage so some people like to travel with a lot of luggage
104:30

104:33
which means they don't bring a lot of luggage here's an example phrase travel
104:37

a bandage is a piece of cloth

heal so for very very small injuries maybe you know things like Band-Aids
105:09
which we have that are like little sticky kind of pieces of cloth
105:13
that we can put on our skin to help wounds heal
105:16
but if you have a very big injury you may need a much larger
105:20
bandage like you need to wrap some cloth around a maybe very damaged part
105:24
of your body or you might even break a bone
105:27
and need to wrap a very very big bandage called a cast around your
105:31
arm or your leg no matter what these are all referred to

106:00
doctor so although we have this word patient
106:02
which means someone who is very calm
106:04
and can wait for things for a long time the word patient in medical
106:09
situations refers to the person who goes to the hospital who goes to the
106:13
clinic who meets with the doctor in order to receive care
106:17
so whenever someone in like a doctor
106:19
or a nurse position talks about a patient
106:22
or the the patient they are referring to the sick person
106:25
or the person who needs care
106:27
so an example of this is sick patient sick patient sick patient okay the
106:37
next word is Department Department Department a department means part of an organization
106:48
or part of a company
106:49
or even part of a store
106:51
so when we talk about a Department it's usually
106:54
because we want to talk about something specific
106:57
that we can buy in
106:58
that section or something specific
107:00
that people in that section do
107:03
so in a company
107:04
or in an organization different departments have different Specialties for example accounting
107:10
or marketing or sales
107:13
and in say a department store you might find different departments based on the
107:17
type of item for example the shoe department
107:20
or the clothing department
107:22
or the LIF style
107:23

107:57
to keep track of our finances our money
108:01
and to help us to file information with our governments to make sure we
108:05
pay the correct amount of taxes
108:08

a lawyer is someone who is specialized in the rules
108:35
and regulations of a country
108:37
or maybe even the rules of a specific region like a city
108:41
or a state so a lawyer is someone who interprets
108:44
or who understands laws
108:47
so in this word lawyer we see l a w
108:50
which is law so law refers to to the rules of a specific place
108:55
a lawyer is someone who understands
108:57
and interprets those rules
108:59
so here's an example expression company lawyer company lawyer comp lawyer the next word
109:10
is wage wage wage
109:19
so a wage is the amount of money
109:21
that you are paid to do a job
109:23
so depending on the job your wage is different
109:25
and depending on your experience your wage may be different
109:29
so a wage is commonly expressed
109:32
as a certain amount per hour for example $5 per hour is a wage
109:38
or maybe $10 an hour is a wage
109:41
so there are many different wages according to different jobs experience levels

a piano is a very large usually instrument
110:10
that has 88 black
110:12
and white keys and we play by moving our hands in this motion
110:15
so a piano can be very very big like the ones you see in
110:19
concert halls and we can also have digital
110:21
or electric pianos which many people have in their homes here's an example expression
110:27

110:40
number flight number a flight number is the number of a specific plane

110:56
flight number so you can pass
110:58
that information to someone who's going to pick you up at the airport
111:01

111:05
whatever the flight number has the details like the departure time the arrival time
111:10
the arrival gate and
111:11
so on so a flight number is a very important part of your travel
111:15
itinerary here's an example flight number 345 flight number 345 flight number 345 next
111:29

188:22

188:25
so let's get started the first noun is the word name name of course
188:30

188:33
and so on my favorite actor's name is Harrison Ford something like
188:36

188:51
if you're really busy have you any time it's time for my favorite show
188:57
House of Cards Kevin spy is cool the next noun is man please be
189:02
careful man is one of those words
189:03
that has an irregular plural form
189:05
when you need to use the plural of the word man you should say
189:08
men do not say mans it's very funny
189:10
but uh don't say it who's
189:12
that man or what's up man you can use man with men
189:16
or women interestingly enough the next word is woman woman also has an irregular
189:21
plural form please say women
189:23
when referring to more than one woman not women's
189:27
or woman even though the uh the singular
189:30
and the plural form of women
189:31
and woman have the same spelling at the beginning w m the pronunciations are
189:36
different woman women so watch out for
189:39
that when you say this pretty woman the next word is person person you
189:44
can use it to refer generally to either a man
189:46
or a woman please be careful person's uh plural form becomes people
189:50
when you want to talk about another culture for example you can say such
189:53
and such countries people
189:55
or the people in
189:56
that country speak blah blah blah language the next word is thing generally an
190:01
inanimate object something that is
190:03
that just doesn't move like a water bottle
190:05
or you know a sweater a thing you can use it
190:08
when you don't know the word for something
190:09
so thing is very very useful what is this thing uh I like many
190:13
things for example Where the Wild Things Are movie that's already out
190:18
that I totally knew about the next word is mother mother is the person
190:24
the woman who gave birth to you isn't
190:26
that exciting mother is commonly shortened to Mom
190:29
or mama or mommy ma Madre
190:32
if you speak Spanish mum Mamba
190:36
if you're me mamasita the next word is day of course day is used
190:42
in all of the days of the week Monday Tuesday wedes Thurday Friday Saturday
190:45
Sunday time period when the sun is out the day

or the daytime have a nice day the next word is world world just
190:56

191:00

191:04
science this is an upcoming technology
191:07
or in the world of literature he's one of the most famous authors
191:11
so worlds can be used to refer just just to um kind of a
191:14
more specific hobby or a specific interest
191:16
or just a specific person's life war of Worlds father father is your dad
191:23
um other other common words used for father
191:25
or dad Papa pop daddy P FAA I use
191:31
that one with my dad well mother is used to refer to kind of
191:34
like nurturing kind of like you know the Earth
191:37
or things that like kind of give life to others father at least in
191:40
my mind there's kind of this image of um someone who's a little bit
191:43
more strict in your life the next word is Sister a female male sibling
191:47
is your sister you can also use sister for a female person
191:51
that you feel very very close with
191:52
so I might call my female friend who's I'm very close to my sister
191:57
my brother likes to shorten it to sis you might also hear sistera
192:01
as well if you are silly sister whoopy Goldberg was in a famous movie
192:06
called Sister Act the next word is brother brother is a male sibling uh
192:11
you can also use brother to refer to a close male friend common variations
192:15
of brother are brother bro bra brosie brosi depending on what kind of person
192:20
you are you can choose to use any number of those like I might
192:24
sarcastically say to my friend cool story bro like
192:27
if he's told me a story that's not very exciting in Mario for example
192:30
the name of the Mario games is actually Super Mario Brothers
192:34
but Brothers is abbreviated
192:35
as b r oos Super Mario Bros yeah just be careful about your use
192:38
of bro because it sounds a little bit like a college age boy uh
192:43
that's kind of the kind of the feeling of the word bro Oh Brother
192:46
Where Art Thou the next word is daughter daughter is a female child daughter
192:53
do you have a daughter I have a daughter I don't have a daughter
192:57
taken it's son a male child is someone's son son s o n is
193:03
pronounced exactly the same
193:04
as s u n Sun what are you talking about Sun the next word
193:08
is i e ye e i your eye is the round thing
193:13
that you use to see with eye is used in a lot of expressions
193:17
and idioms in English
193:18
as in I've got my eye on you meaning I'm watching you
193:21
or keep your eye out for something meaning please look for something
193:26
or please pay close attention I'm waiting for something to happen the next word
193:30
is hand body part give me a hand
193:33
or can I give you a hand means please help me
193:36
or can I help you to give someone a hand head this thing on
193:41
the top of your body your head we use head to refer to the
193:44
top of things as in the head of a company the head of group
193:47
the head of the line
193:48
so whoever is first in the line whoever is top at the company they
193:51
are the head if you have a head dance
193:56
if you have a head
193:56
then dance the next word is foot this is another word
194:00
that has a weird plural form one foot to feet foot interestingly enough foot
194:06
is used of course to refer to your body part uh a foot also
194:10
is a unit of measurement
194:11
if you are from America
194:12
or I believe one other country in the world uses this system sorry we're
194:16
not on board with metric thing in America
194:18
but foot uh is 12 in about this long
194:21
so if head refers to the top of things foot is used to refer
194:24
to the bottom of things
194:26
if you've written a paper on Microsoft Word for example um at the very
194:29
bottom of the page there will be a space called the footer meaning the
194:32
bottom where you can put little notes uh to your reader the next word

or can we have the part part at your place is a little bit
194:48
more natural than I want to go to your house the next word is
194:52
work be careful about using work
194:54
as a noun and work is a verb your work refers to your job
194:58

197:28
that you should know
197:29
so let's go do you have any recommendations the first phrase is do you
197:34
have any recommendations this is great to use
197:37
when you get to a restaurant where you don't know what the food is
197:40
you don't know anything about the local Cuisine
197:42
or you're just feeling a little bit adventurous you can ask the weight staff
197:46
do you have any recommendations how much is this how much is this this
197:50
is useful when you're out shopping
197:51
or when you're in a restaurant
197:52
and the price is not clearly marked
197:54
or something is not clear to you
197:57
so you can ask how much is this usually
198:00
when you point to something I would recommend like pointing to the menu
198:03
or pointing to an item how much is this I'd like this you can
198:08
point to something and say I'd like this uh
198:11
if you want to say I'd like uh one for example I don't know
198:14
you're getting beer I'd like one of these
198:18
if however you're in a situation where you can't point you can say I'd
198:21
like 10 of the blah blah blah I'd like 10 of the blue t-shirts
198:26
please can I try this on is useful
198:29
when you're shopping for clothes
198:31
so you find something
198:32
that you'd like to try just ask the staff can I try this on
198:36
you can just say I want to try this on
198:39
if you like do you speak English you might get asked this phrase
198:43
so you should say
198:44
if you're watching this video you should probably say yes
198:46
or you can say yes a little
198:48
if you're not feeling very confident
198:50
if you're watching this video
198:51
and you're understanding this part
198:52
and you say no
198:54
then things that's a little strange I have a reservation usually the staff will
198:59
greet you and you can say I have a reservation hello I have a
199:03
reservation it's at 7:00 the name is Alicia usually we say the name is
199:08
or it's under meaning the reservation is under my name
199:13
or um it's for name
199:16
or uh it's in name water please depending on
199:20
which country you're from water may
199:22
or may not automatically be brought to your table
199:24
when you're at a restaurant
199:26
if you would like more water however you can say water please to make
199:30
it a little more polite I would like wave at the weight staff
199:33
and say could I please have some more water do you take credit cards
199:37
do you take credit cards in case you're not sure
199:40
if the shop that you're in will accept credit cards
199:43
or debit cards you can ask them do you take credit cards
199:46
so it doesn't mean do you take meaning are you going to take my
199:50
card but this take means do you accept credit cards this isn't what I
199:55
ordered so if you're at a restaurant you order steak
199:58
and you get Lobster instead you can look at it
200:00
and go oh this isn't what I ordered be careful
200:03
though say this politely
200:05
if you look at the weight staff
200:07
and you say this isn't what I ordered they're going to be like I
200:11
don't know just be a nice customer excuse me
200:14
but I don't think this is what I ordered
200:16
or this isn't what I ordered can you please check could we have the
200:20
menu please if for some reason you don't receive a menu
200:23
when you come to the table you can again just wave at a member
200:28
of the staff and say could we have the menu please could you give
200:32
me a discount could you give me a discount means uh I would like
200:36
a cheaper price essentially it depends on
200:38
which country you're in
200:39
if haggling or bargaining meaning uh talking to the seller to try to reduce
200:44
the price my family didn't bargain we didn't haggle
200:47
so I don't haggle depends on you
200:49
and your culture but uh just yeah just be be aware of the culture
200:53
that you're in and the place
200:54
that you're in before you ask this question do you have any vegetarian dishes
200:58
ah this is useful some people uh have specific eating requirements
201:03
or eating needs maybe food allergies for example you can replace vegetarian with the
201:09
specific dietary requirement that you have do you have any vegan dishes do you
201:13
have any gluten-free dishes do you have any lowfat dishes do you have any
201:17
low carb dishes do you have any fish-free dishes do you have any could
201:23
you take a picture of me please
201:25
if you are in a location where you would like to take a picture
201:28
but you don't want to do a selfie
201:30
or you don't have a selfie stick
201:32
or whatever you want someone else to take a picture of you a stranger
201:36
that you don't know you can ask them could you take a picture of
201:39
me please or excuse me would you mind taking a picture of me please
201:44
I'm allergic to blah blah blah
201:46
if you have a food allergy
201:48
or even a an allergy to a medicine this is the phrase you can
201:52
use to explain that I'm allergic to wheat
201:56
or I can't eat wheat for example is the Wi-Fi free meaning can I
202:01
use the Wi-Fi free of charge keep in mind some places have a a
202:06
a password that you have to ask the staff for
202:09
so you can say is the Wi-Fi free
202:11
if they say yes you can
202:13
then follow that up with can I have the password I'd like to have
202:17
a non-smoking seat please
202:19
so when you go to a restaurant you have an option between smoking
202:22
and non-smoking sections the staff will say smoking
202:25
or non-smoking you can say I'd like to have a nonsmoking seat please quite
202:30
honestly though the most natural response is just to say non-smoking could I get
202:35
a map maybe it's h a map of the subway system for the city
202:39
that you're in or maybe it's a map of the area around your hotel
202:43
you could say could I have a map
202:45
as well could I have the check you're finished at your Cafe you're finished
202:48
at the restaurant and it's time to leave it's time to pay
202:51
so you say to the weight staff excuse me could I have the check
202:55
another more common expression perhaps is excuse me check please you might also hear
203:00
Bill excuse me can I have the bill where is the bathroom very important
203:05
question if you're traveling in America we don't really use the word toilet
203:09
or washroom very much we use bathroom
203:11
or restroom to talk about um toilet facilities excuse me can you tell me
203:16
where the bathroom is uh
203:18
or excuse me I'm looking for the bathroom
203:20
or I'm looking for the restroom is this the train for blah blah blah
203:25
or is this the train
203:26
that goes to blah blah blah to confirm with someone
203:31
that I'm indeed on the correct train line
203:33
if I say is this the train Bound for San Francisco you can use
203:37
that to check if you're correct
203:39

205:19
is I'm plus your name of course this is a way to introduce yourself
205:22
you can use I'm in my case Alicia I'm Alicia to introduce yourself in
205:26
any situation new friend I'm Alicia okay the next phrase is what's your name
205:31
what's your name is used to ask someone else what their name is
205:34
so what is your name sounds a bit tried to use what's your name
205:38
if you forget someone's name you can say sorry what's your name
205:42
or sorry what's your name again next phrase is nice to meet you nice
205:45
to meet you anytime you meet someone new nice to meet you is fine
205:49
good to meet you is a little more casual great to meet you sounds
205:52
very excited pleasure to meet you sounds like a maybe a formal situation
205:57
or a business context okay the next phrase is how are you how are
206:01
you is it's just a friendly way to check in with the other person
206:05
you can use it with friends your family your co-workers maybe even your boss
206:09
to a certain degree uh how are you how you doing the next phrase
206:14
is I'm fine thanks
206:15
and you uh if you saw English in 3 minutes we talked a lot
206:18
about this phrase instead of I'm fine thank you
206:20
and you say I'm good thanks how are you just shorten it make it
206:24
a little bit more natural how are you good how are you great how
206:29
are you not so good how are you okay
206:32
and so on so
206:33
when someone says how are you offer I usually say I'm good this week
206:37
I blah blah blah give some information about what you've been up to maybe
206:41
a hobby something that you did recently an event something interesting you saw whatever
206:46
people people want to make
206:46
that connection with you
206:47
and it's a good chance for you to continue speaking the next word is
206:50
please please is a polite phrase used
206:53
when you want something from someone else you can use this
206:56
as a response when someone offers you something like in a restaurant for example
207:00
would you like more water would you like something to drink oh please the
207:03
next phrase is thank you thank you is used to express your appreciation you
207:07
can use thank you with everybody the next phrase is you're welcome you're welcome
207:11
when someone says thank you you can say you're welcome no biggie I use
207:16
no biggie as in no biggie is short for no big problem the next
207:20
word is yes yes of course yes means is any positive expression someone asks
207:27
you a question and the answer is a positive answer you say yes yep
207:31
uh-huh yeah we no next I'm guessing I know it yep the next word
207:37
is no no is a negative response to something
207:40
when you have to give a negative answer
207:43
so as you can probably guess um the long form of no is negative
207:47
I like to use nope it's very very casual not going to happen my
207:51
parents would use that with me to soften
207:53
that a little bit
207:54
if you want to show a negative response to something like let's go out
207:57
for dinner tonight what do you want to do like do you want to
208:00
go out not really no I don't think
208:04
so to soften it the next word is okay okay this word comes from
208:10
copy editors okay when they had to check a manuscript um they had to
208:15
label the manuscript RT all clear AC
208:18
but because they were copy editors
208:19
and they have a very very sick sense of humor they thought they would
208:22
mark it okay for all clear to make a joke
208:25
because o and K do not start all
208:27
and clear but it caught on among everybody in the world anyway okay uh
208:35
is used to agree with somebody else well it can be used actually to
208:38
express a positive or kind of a slight negative I feel transitioning in your
208:42
conversation you can say okay now we're going to talk about blah blah okay
208:47
the next phrase is excuse me excuse me it's used to get someone's attention
208:51
in English when you don't know the other person for example in a store
208:55
a supermarket maybe a stranger on the street you need to ask directions you
208:59
can use Excuse me you can use Excuse me in the supermarket excuse me
209:03
can you tell me where the hot sauce is
209:04
if you've done something rude in public you can use Excuse me I personally
209:09
do not do rude things in public ever I'm sorry is the next word
209:12
we're going to talk about I'm sorry is used to apologize
209:15
when you have made a mistake
209:16
or someone you know has made a mistake
209:18
and you're connected to it
209:19
or you just feel bad you can use I'm sorry you made a mistake
209:22
at work I'm sorry you forgot to feed your cat I'm sorry sorry about
209:28
that you bump someone next to you oh sorry what time is it is
209:31
the next phrase when you need to check what time it is what time
209:35
is it when you ask someone else what time it is maybe you say
209:38
this to yourself too check your watch check your phone check a clock pretty
209:42
straightforward phrase there aren't really any short versions
209:44
so that's an easy one hey where is the plus a location
209:48
so you can use this for um a building
209:51
or a store we don't we're not going to use this where is the
209:54
for a place a city name
209:56
or a state name
209:57
or a country name to do
209:58
that you would need to remove the
210:00
but where is the bank where is the Post Office you can use this
210:03
to ask directions to ask for help in your house
210:05
or at work where is the copy machine where is the file I need
210:11
where is the blah blah blah where is the bathroom is perhaps a very
210:14
important question to know the next one is may I use the restroom may
210:18
I use the restroom is a polite uh
210:20
and soft expression that you can use
210:22
if you need to use the toilet you need to use the washroom
210:25
when you're at someone's house for the very first time
210:27
when you're in a place
210:28
that you're that is new to you you can ask may I use the
210:31
restroom more casually can I go to the bathroom to be very polite you
210:34
can say may I go to the bathroom the next phrase is I would
210:37
like to order something you can use this at a restaurant probably
210:41
or in any situation where you need to place an order I'd like a
210:45
pizza I'd like a beer can I get the check please this will be
210:50
used at a restaurant
210:52
when you've finished your meal
210:53
and it's time to go can I get the check please in a very
210:55
very casual situation you can just say check please that's fine the next phrase
211:00
is see you soon see you soon is used with friends
211:02
and family members perhaps uh
211:04
when you expect to see them again soon after saying goodbye to them this
211:07
is used at the end of the conversation you're going separate directions you see
211:11
you soon see you is also good
211:13
or just see you to make it a little more formal you can say
211:15
I'll see you again soon make a full sentence out of it
211:18
that way the next phrase is see you later see you later is very
211:21
similar to see you soon
211:22
but the point is with see you later is
211:24
that you're probably going to meet
211:26
that person again later on in the same day the last phrase is really
211:30
really is a very useful word
211:32
because you can use it to show you interested in a conversation with upward
211:35
intonation really really tell me more
211:38
or to show that you're not
211:39
so interested in the conversation with downward intonation really
211:43
so there are many other words
211:44
that you can use similar to really in this way like seriously
211:48
or oh oh and
211:50
so on so it's a really good practice for your intonation uh
211:53

214:00
that it's even better than good you can say it's great greater is the
214:04
comparative form greatest is the superlative form the greatest invention of all time was
214:10
the light bulb for example what do you think is your greatest achievement one
214:16
of life's greatest Pleasures is finding people to be good friends with is great
214:22
the next word is little this is a very common uh word
214:25
that gets used in an expression like
214:26
when I was little referring to
214:28
when you were a kid
214:29
so when I was little I really likeed to play outside
214:31
or when I was little I was really into Pokémon I have said very
214:34
little about the word little the next word is near near nearer nearest you
214:39
probably know the location of the nearest maybe Supermarket to your house
214:42
or the nearest post office I live near a very fashionable store the next
214:47
word is big big is used for anything
214:49
that is large in size
214:51
or large conceptually so for example you can say an elephant is a big
214:57
animal or in terms of concept you can say um let's see
215:00
that fashion is really big right now
215:02
or that artist is really big right now
215:04
and that refers to popularity big movies are exciting to watch with friends do
215:09
you have any bigger sandwiches I'm really hungry next word is other other just
215:16
refers to something else something different from what is currently happening the other thing
215:22
the other person my other friend is a DJ my other friend is a
215:27
cook my other friend is a Dancer my other friend I have very interesting
215:32
friends what other things have you done with your life the next word is
215:37
old old it can be used to refer to people it can be used
215:40
to refer to animals to Art anything
215:43
that has a long history
215:45
so maybe maybe I like old movies
215:47
or I don't like old art
215:49
or I think my grandpa is really really old this is getting old the
215:52
next word is right this can be used to refer to the direction right
215:56
as in the opposite of left
215:57
or it can be used to refer to something
215:59
that is correct so in a sentence like you're right it means you are
216:03
correct that is the correct answer it can also be used to mean right
216:07
as in make a right turn uh
216:09
but you'll have to listen to the context to decide
216:11
which meaning is the true meaning this is not right could mean something that's
216:15
not fair or that you disagree strongly with this is not right the next
216:20
word is hi hi refers to something
216:22
that is very tall very way up somewhere
216:25
so many people might say like I have a fear of high buildings
216:28
or I have a fear of high places it can also in the comparative
216:32
form just refer to something higher
216:33
or taller than something else highest meaning the most high squeaky level is high
216:38
I like high volume uh music the next word is different not the same
216:44
as something else different I think
216:47
that having many different friends is a lot of fun do you enjoy listening
216:52
to different kinds of music the next word is small small smaller smallest small
216:57
and little are extremely similar I would pretty much use them in the same
217:01
way uh however we don't say
217:03
when I was a small kid we say
217:05
when I was a little kid
217:07
or you can say
217:07
when I was small the next word is large large
217:11
and big are very much the same I will say
217:13
though that large is used on clothing sizes big is not
217:16
when we talked about big we talked about how big can be used to
217:18
refer to something that's very popular large is not used to refer to something
217:22
that's that's popular large is used um for for sizing I feel only
217:27
so like a house can be large
217:28
but it's used to refer to like the physical size of something uh large
217:32
and in charge large larger largest this is the largest bottom is in the
217:41
zoo I have to go the next word is easy easy is the next
217:45
easy easier easiest this is a good one
217:48
that you can use anytime something seems very simple for you for example this
217:52
test is easy or
217:53
that was the easiest thing I've ever done
217:55
or I hope this test is easier than the last test you oh gosh
218:00
don't call a person easy Lea uh don't ever call a person easy unless
218:03
you're trying to be really rude my driving test was really easy
218:07
or what's the easiest language you've ever studied the next word is difficult uh
218:11
difficult is something that seems hard to do what is the most difficult thing
218:15
you've ever had to do the most difficult thing I've ever had to do
218:18
was move to a different country the next word is young young younger youngest
218:22
come on guys uh younger younger Generations have a lot of uh new technologies
218:29
to experiment with young the next word is important important more important most important
218:35
what is important to you I think
218:37
that practicing a another language is more important than playing my banjo I don't
218:44
have a banjo you can find find something that's important to you
218:47
and put your time into it I think drinking a lot of water every
218:50
day is important putting on your shoes before you leave the house is very
218:54
important I have to go it's very important
218:57
that I go next word is interesting interesting anything
219:00
that you think is cool anything
219:02
that you find that makes you go ooh is something that's interesting I think
219:06
that this type of music is the most interesting type of music your mom
219:10
is interesting the next word is short short shorter shortest I am the short
219:15
shortest person in my class I'm the shortest person in the room short just
219:18
refers to something that is not long
219:20
so it can refer to a size
219:21
or it can also refer to a concept um
219:23
as in a length of time
219:25
so like I'm going to travel abroad for a short period of time bad
219:31
you know I'm bad I'm bad you know bad something
219:36
that is not good bad food will give you bad feelings in your stomach
219:42
you're a bad dog who's a bad dog you're
219:45
that dog the next one is boring something
219:48
that is not interesting something
219:50
that does not make you go ooh
219:52
but something that makes you go H the most boring story I've ever heard
219:56
was a story about a tomato
219:58
if I don't do anything this will be really boring far referring to distance
220:06
something that is not near to you is far how can I go farther
220:11
far the farthest I've ever run is 7 km I am not a runner
220:17
okay that's the end of the top 25 English adjectives you probably used these
220:21
if you're studying English
220:23
and if you haven't try to experiment with them um
220:25
and see what kind of interesting sentences
220:27
that you can make up try to use the uh the normal form
220:30
and the comparative form
220:31
and the negative form
220:32
and the superlative form you can express a lot with just these 25 words
220:35

the right chart shows
242:10
that the campaigns we ran in April
242:12
and August were fairly effective I see
242:15
but the sales decreased in May
242:16
and September following the campaigns yes
242:19
but this kind of decrease is unavoidable I expect the annual sales for this
242:23
year will show an increase over last year
242:25
if we can keep increasing our sales
242:30
which two charts is he using for his presentation a man is reporting about
242:39
his company's sales performance at a meeting
242:43

242:48

242:57
this year now please have a look at the left chart it shows
243:01
that sales have been steadily increasing over the past 3 years
243:04
and if we can keep increasing our sales the total sales for this year
243:08
will show an increase over last year next please look at the right chart
243:13
the R chart shows
243:14
that the campaigns we ran in April
243:16

243:19
but the sales decreased in May
243:20
and September following the campaigns yes
243:23
but this kind of decrease is unavoidable I expect the annual sales for this
243:27

243:29
if we can keep increasing our sales a man is joining a sports club
243:35
and getting information on its policies what type of membership will he choose let
243:44
me start by explaining our club's different membership options
243:47
as described in this brochure regular members can use the gym
243:50
and the pool at any time on any day of the week
243:53
but we also offer early morning memberships where people can use the facilities only
243:57
in the early morning
243:59
and night memberships for people who only want to come in the evening what
244:03
are the hours for early morning members early morning members can use the facilities
244:07
from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
244:09
and night members can use them from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
244:13
I see so early morning members can stop by
244:16
and use the facilities on their way to work exactly the early morning type
244:20
is popular among people with 9 to five jobs
244:23
and we also offer memberships just for the gym
244:26
or just for the pool
244:27
if you only want to use one of those I want to use both
244:30
the gym and the pool I think I'll use the gym in the early
244:34
morning before going to work on weekdays
244:36
and then use the pool on the weekend do you have a membership
244:39
that covers something like early mornings for the weekdays

258:31
month you need to check our office supplies
258:32
and order any items
258:33
that are running low this time let's take a look at them together here's
258:38
the checklist okay that sounds good well starting with the paper it looks like
258:43
there's only one box left we use lots of paper every day
258:47
so let's order two more boxes okay the printer is out of color ink
258:52
should we order that we don't really print documents in color
258:55
so we don't need to worry about
258:56
that hm okay looks like these whiteboard markers are running out of ink right
259:03
those need to be replaced we get a discount
259:05
if we order them in sets of five
259:07
so let's do that okay
259:09
and while we're at it can we order a mouse sometimes it works
259:13
but sometimes it doesn't that's probably
259:15
because it's running out of batteries let's check the stock of batteries
259:19
and order more if we don't have many left sure well we have three
259:23
batteries here you can take two of these for your mouse
259:27
but buy a six-pack of batteries to replace them what will the man order
259:38
a man and a woman are talking about office supplies what will the man
259:43
order every month you need to check our office supplies
259:46
and order any items
259:47

260:46
directions to the airport at an information center how is she going to get
260:51
to the airport excuse me I need to go to the airport would you
260:57
tell me how to get there sure there are a few ways
261:01
if you take bus number one it takes about 1
261:03
and 1/2 hours to the airport it's the least expensive way bus number two
261:08
is a Non-Stop bus it's more expensive
261:11
and leaves once every hour
261:12
but it only takes 50 minutes I see what about taxis there's a taxi
261:18
stand in front of the building
261:19
and they take about an hour
261:21
but they use the expressway
261:23
and charge extra for a lot of luggage
261:25
so it's going to be a lot more expensive than the bus I guess
261:29
that makes sense and I'd like to avoid paying too much you didn't by
261:32
chance buy anything at Shopping World
261:34
while you were here they offer complimentary shuttle service to the airport for customers
261:39
who make a purchase there wow I didn't know
261:42
that I haven't bought anything yet
261:44
but I was going to stop by
261:45
and get some souvenirs there anyway
261:48
then you can use
261:51
that how is she going to get to the airport a woman is asking

then you can use
263:01
that a woman and a supplier are talking on the phone what is the
263:06

263:13

267:58
thank you very much a man is choosing an insurance plan
268:06
which plan is he going to sign up for what kind of trip will
268:13
you be taking I'm going scuba diving since I'll be bringing all my own
268:17
equipment I'm a bit worried about getting it stolen very smart of you insurance
268:23
against theft is included in all of our plans since scuba diving equipment is
268:28
an unusual type of baggage only plan a can cover it
268:32
though alternatively you can get insurance specifically for scuba diving equipment
268:37
and add it to other plans plan a is the most expensive one right
268:42
what's the difference between Plan B
268:44
and plan C okay for example
268:48
if you happen to stay in a hospital abroad Plan B covers flight tickets
268:52
for your family to visit you
268:54
but plan C doesn't I see
268:57
if I get the special contractor scuba diving equipment
269:00
and add it to plan b
269:01
or plan C would it be more expensive than plan a with Plan B
269:06
that would make it a little more expensive
269:09
but with plan C it would be less expensive okay by the way is
269:13
there any plan that's cheaper than plan C yes we have Plan D
269:19
but it doesn't cover accommodation
269:20
if your flight gets delayed
269:22
or cancelled so we don't recommend this plan got it I agree
269:26
that I need coverage
269:27
but I don't think I need coverage for family plane tickets
269:31
so I'll take this plan
269:32
and combine it with the insurance for scuba diving equipment
269:39
which plan is he going to sign up for a man is choosing an
269:48

and combine it with the insurance for scuba diving equipment a woman is reporting
271:23
to her boss about the results of a questionnaire
271:28
which graph represents the employees from the B Branch last week we asked 200
271:37
employees to answer a questionnaire about their Fitness habits the focus of this questionnaire
271:43
was on how many hours they exercise each week did you tally up the
271:48
results for the A
271:49
and B branches separately yes
271:52
and employees had four options less than an hour around 1 to 2 hours
271:58
around 3 to 5 hours
272:00
and 6 hours or more here are the results
272:04
so employees in both branches answered about 1 to two hours the most looks
272:09
like they're exercising about once a week yes
272:13
and after that employees in the a branch were most likely to answer about
272:18
3 to 5 hours
272:20
while in the B Branch the next most common answer was less than an
272:25
hour H not even 10% of employees at the B Branch exercise more than
272:30
6 hours that's right
272:33
so I was thinking we could organize weekly sports events there
272:36
that anybody could casually join that's a good idea it' give employees a good
272:41
chance chance to socialize too I'll leave it to you thank you I'll take

a woman is giving a report about the sales of bags
333:09
which bag is selling best here's a report on the bags
333:16
that we started selling last month first of all
333:19
when it came to color black was the number one seller it's followed by
333:24
white and sky blue yellow didn't sell very well
333:29
so yellow was a dud well what about the size bigger bags sold more
333:35
than smaller ones bags
333:37
that could fit a magazine
333:38
or a regular letter siiz notebook in them were the most popular okay regarding
333:44
handles leather was more popular than ones made with a metal chain I see
333:51
it looks like bags with a more formal style sell better that's right I
333:56
think we should use more neutral colors such
333:58
as beige or brown for our new collection okay

352:49
quiz let us know
352:50
if you have any questions hi everybody my name is Alicia
352:53
and welcome back to top words today's topic is 10 lines you need for
352:57
introducing yourself so let's go hello it's nice to meet you hello it's nice
353:02
to meet you you can only use this the first time
353:05
that you meet someone
353:06
if if you say this to somebody after you have met them already you're
353:09
going to seem either a like you've completely forgotten meeting them
353:12
or B like you are a very strange person for saying it's nice to
353:16
meet you again so
353:18
when you use this the first time you can shake hands with someone
353:21
and say hello it's nice to meet you my name is the next phrase
353:26
is my name is blah blah blah in my case my name is Alicia
353:30
you can use this again
353:31
when you're introducing yourself
353:33
or if you need to reintroduce yourself you can use this pattern
353:36
when you meet somebody at a party for example you can say my name
353:40
is blah blah blah my name is Barbara my name is Stevens you can
353:47
shorten this you can say my names my names blah blah blah I'm from
353:52
after you've said your name after you've shaken hands you can say I'm from
353:56
the US I'm from Japan I'm from Turkey I'm from your mom's house I'm
354:01
from I'm from a cave in southern Europe I'm from your country
354:08
or I'm from your city I'm from the future I have to go I
354:16
live in I live in blah blah blah you can use your city uh
354:21
you can use your country you can use even maybe
354:23
if you live near a certain station you can use the name of the
354:26
station uh where you live
354:28
so for example I live in America is fine I live in Los Angeles
354:32
is fine I live in New York is fine
354:35
so your neighborhood is fine fine
354:36
if someone says where do you live
354:38
and you say I live in an apartment it's like what uh
354:43
so please use your the region
354:46
or the location where you live not the type of place where you live
354:50
IMA if you hear the question what do you do it it's asking about
354:54
your job in English people don't say what is your job that's not the
354:58
question that we ask instead the question is what do you do
355:02
and the correct response to
355:03
that is I'm a
355:04
or I'm an blah blah blah followed by your job title
355:08
so if someone says what do you do you can say I'm a teacher
355:11
what do you do I'm an engineer what do you do I'm a dut
355:17
shop tester I'm years old
355:21
when someone asks how old are you you can say I'm blah blah blah
355:25
years old don't forget the S at the end of this
355:29
if you like you can shorten this phrase to just I'm plus your age
355:33
so I'm 65 I'm 13 whatever I'm this many sometimes children will say
355:41
that how old are you they'll say I'm this many it's kind of cute
355:45
first time you meet someone you might not ask how old are you
355:48
if it's in a friendly case like a in a party after you've spoken
355:50
to the person a little bit it's okay um
355:53
but just try to be sensitive to the context try to be sensitive to
355:57
the people around you
355:58
and if you sense
355:59
that maybe there's a very large age gap between you it might be better
356:02
just not to ask the question at all I enjoy many of my students
356:07
say what is your hobby um
356:09
but that's not something
356:10
that native speakers will say no native speakers say what is your hobby instead
356:14
we ask uh what do you like to do
356:17
or what do you do in your free time this is a much more
356:19
natural question than what's your hobby the answer to this
356:23
then is I enjoy
356:24
or I like plus a noun phrase
356:27
so for example what do you like to do I like listening to music
356:31
or I enjoy listening to music what do you do in your free time
356:35
I like watching movies what do you do in your free time I like
356:38
baking cakes what do you do in your free time I enjoy tap dancing
356:44
what do you do in your free time I enjoy making new friends a
356:51
one of my hobbies is one of my hobbies is blah blah blah with
356:56
this one it's probably better to use a short easily
357:00
or easy to understand hobby
357:02
if you're explaining a hobby people are going to expect
357:04
that it's going to be something
357:05
that they know about like photography
357:07
or cooking or dancing
357:08
or swimming or whatever
357:10
so try to pick something
357:11
that will allow you to to continue the conversation that's why movies
357:14
or cooking or books
357:16
or you know sports are a good thing to share one of my hobbies
357:19
is snowboarding I've been learning English for
357:23
if you are learning English
357:24
if you're studying English you can use this expression
357:26
if someone asks you how long have you been studying English you can say
357:31
I've been studying English for amount of time
357:34
or I've been learning English
357:35
or I've been practicing English
357:37
or I've been speaking English for a certain amount of time I've been studying
357:41
English since elementary school is also okay to use uh I've been studying English
357:46
since I was in college just be careful for is used for a length
357:50
of time and since is used for a specific point in time at
357:54
which you started something
357:55
so you can try
357:55
and mix it up
357:56
and use a few different uh Expressions there
357:58
so I've been learning English for a long time I'm still learning English you
358:04
should do that too okay okay I'm learning English at englishclass101.com this probably could
358:10
be used in response to where did you learn English
358:13
or where are you studying English
358:15
or how are you studying English you can respond with I'm learning English at
358:20
englishclass101.com or I'm learning English at uh my school I'm learning English at uh
358:26
my private teacher's house for example
358:29
so a little bit of grammar in this sentence why do we use the
358:32
progressive tense I'm learning English
358:34
if you say I'm learning it sounds sounds like you're still continuing your studies
358:38
if you say I learned English
358:40
and englishclass101.com it sounds like you're finished uh like you you're finished studying there's
358:44
nothing else for you to study uh
358:46
so you're done um
358:47
so it's it's much much more natural to actually use the progressive I'm learning
358:52
or I'm studying uh
358:54
when you're talking about your studies
358:55
when you're talking about your hobbies um than it is to say I learned
358:59
or I studied and
359:01
and and and uh
359:02
so those were 10 lines
359:04
that you need to introduce yourself to help give the other person a little
359:07
bit of information and carry the conversation forward
359:10
so please try them please go crazy with them make them your own thanks
359:14
very much for joining us for this episode of Top worth
359:16
and we'll see you again soon bye I'm from your neighbors dogghouse fish Glo
359:25
Glo oh yes I like to go spelunking in North Africa every summer welcome
359:33
to englishclass101.com English in 3 minutes the fastest easiest
359:39
and most fun way to learn English hey everyone I'm Alicia in this series
359:44
we're going to learn some easy ways to ask
359:47
and answer common questions in English it's really useful
359:50
and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn how
359:55
to ask a really basic question in a polite
359:58
but natural way how old are you in your English textbook one of the
360:04
first lessons may have been how to add ask someone's age by saying just
360:08
how old are you however in many English language cultures asking an adults age
360:14
directly particularly a woman's age is not polite
360:18
if you suddenly ask how old are you to someone you've just met they'll
360:23
understand you but they might not be too happy about answering such a blunt
360:27
and direct question so how do you find out someone's age without offending them
360:33
you just add a magic phrase to the beginning of the question this phrase
360:38
is do you mind me asking this is an incredibly useful phrase
360:42
that you should definitely memorize it comes in handy whenever you want to ask
360:47
a question that may be a little personal
360:49
or come across as a little too direct native speakers of English use it
360:54
all the time so the full question would be do you mind me asking
361:00
how old you are be sure to pay attention to the word order of
361:04
this sentence rather than do you mind me asking how old are you it's
361:10
do you mind me asking how old you are the answer to this can
361:15
be simple I'm 25 years old
361:18
or just I'm 25
361:21
or it can be a little more detailed
361:23
if you've just had a birthday you can say I've just turned 25
361:28
or if you're about to have a birthday you can say I'll turn 25
361:33
this month or I'll turn 25 in July it's more natural here not to
361:39
give your exact birthday like July the 9th
361:42
but just the month
361:44
so again to turn this question back on the asker
361:47
and find out his
361:48
or her age all you have to do is use
361:50
that other magic phrase We introduced in previous lessons how about you here it's
361:56
okay not to worry about being polite since the other person asked you the
362:00
question first now it's time for Alicia's advice we mentioned
362:05
that asking someone's age might not be polite
362:08
but if you do decide to ask this question here's another tip some people
362:12
like to reply with another question how old do you think I am be
362:17
careful if you say an age that's older than the person's true age they
362:21
might be very offended
362:23
so it's always safer to say a number lower than what you actually think
362:27
so if you think the person looks 40 say 35
362:32
and see how happy they look see you next time want to speak real

362:41
hi everybody welcome back to English topics my name is Alicia
362:46
and I'm joined by Davey hi Davey
362:48
so today our topic is going to be how to start a conversation in
362:54
English so both of us have tried to prepare a few tips uh
362:59
that might help you
363:00
as you try to start conversations uh in your English language studies
363:05
so so let's begin you want to start first again oh okay I'll start
363:10
start first I'll start okay first we're giving tips on how to start a
363:14
conversation I will start today my first tip very important I trying to follow
363:18
myself right now don't be shy very important tip uh this isn't really
363:24
so much a language learning tip well it doesn't seem like a language learning
363:27
tip but I think it really is
363:29
because whenever you communicate uh in a second language
363:33
or a foreign language it can be really nerve-wracking it can make you very
363:38
nervous and very anxious to try
363:39
and do that especially
363:41
if you're talking to someone for the first time uh
363:44
and so the first thing is just to remind yourself
363:47
that it's not a big deal
363:50
and to not be shy
363:51
and be confident and
363:52
if you can maintain
363:53
that attitude as you begin to talk to talk to someone it will be
363:57
much easier I think I agree I agree
363:59
or even like you say even
364:01
if you are shy just pretend
364:04
that you're not shy that's a good tip you know it's like even
364:08
if you can just pretend just for a few minutes just to start the
364:11
conversation or to continue a conversation a little bit it can be good even
364:16
if you feel shy I agree
364:18
and you might find too oftentimes people who would say
364:21
that they are shy
364:23
when they talk to someone in another language they can have a different personality
364:27
it's a chance to have a different personality in a different language um
364:32
so if you tell yourself
364:33
that too uh when you speak English
364:35
when you speak speak another language you're more confident than you are
364:37
when you speak your own language yeah that's true I've heard
364:41
that before actually people who say
364:42
that they feel like they're more outgoing
364:44
when they speak English
364:46
if that's the case maybe that's good for you also just in general another
364:49
point about um maybe not only starting conversations
364:53
But continuing them um where comfortable English language speakers are with interruptions to some
364:59
point like you shouldn't always interrupt the other they are pretty comfortable with it
365:03
see he just did it
365:04
so we're we're kind of we're very comfortable with it
365:07
so you don't need to wait for an invitation to speak in a conversation
365:11
you can just join in
365:13
or maybe agree with the person who's speaking
365:15
or disagree with the person who's speaking
365:18
as a way to join a conversation that's already in progress yeah nice one
365:22
that's a good one okay I will share a tip mine are a little
365:27
bit I don't know they're very dependent on maybe who you're talking to uh
365:32
maybe what your relationship is
365:34
so let's say for this one you are in a place where like a
365:40
I don't know a restaurant
365:41
or a bar or something
365:42
and you don't know the person you'd like to speak to
365:45
but maybe I don't know there's someone attractive you'd like to speak to
365:49
or maybe you want to speak with the bartender something
365:52
so um maybe okay maybe this is better
365:54
if you're trying to speak to a fellow customer
365:56
so I have it's it's sort of small make a simple comment about something
366:01
happening in the surroundings
366:03
so this should be uh one a a simple comment at two something
366:08
that the other person can clearly see
366:11
and three something that you can agree on easily
366:15
so for example if somebody uh has just walked by the restaurant wearing like
366:20
a crazy hat I don't know you could say like oh did you see
366:22
that guy something like
366:24
that something that it's easy to agree on to initiate the conversation
366:28
or maybe I don't know there's a TV in the bar um like whoa
366:32
did you see that play
366:33
or something that maybe you can identify
366:36
that you maybe shared with the other person um during the time you've been
366:40
in that space together
366:42
so this should be a very simple comment don't make a weird comment here
366:46
make it make it very very relaxed create a relaxed environment
366:51
that the other person feels they can join in easily that's a very good
366:56
tip I don't know I'm trying to think of maybe a time
366:59
that I used this
367:00
or maybe I wanted to make a comment like
367:04
and there was another person
367:05
that happened to be there
367:06
and we had a moment where we agreed on something
367:09
but then the conversation didn't really continue
367:12
so it's kind of a good way to test
367:14
and see if that other person wants to speak to you too yes yeah
367:19
that's a good point
367:20
and it makes me think this isn't one of my tips this is an
367:22
ex a free tip you're getting a free freebie tip now is I think
367:25
uh tips everywhere they every they're flying around
367:28
so many to be be patient wait for your opening too
367:32
because you might want to talk to this person next to you
367:34
but if you just butt in with a question out of nowhere it might
367:37
seem very strange but
367:38
if you wait and have have a moment wait for
367:41
that guy with the funny hat to walk
367:44
and then you have your opening
367:45
then you have a natural Point uh
367:47
that you can enter the a conversation with someone yeah
367:51
and so be patient totally
367:52
and going back to your point about not being shy like don't be
367:56
so focused on waiting for
367:58
that moment that you just pick something really strange like
368:02
if I like walked up to you I don't know you in a bar
368:05
I was like did you hear
368:06
that noise like that's a really strange question maybe he did hear
368:10
that noise but that's a really strange question um to introduce yourself yeah it's
368:15
true this actually all this this kind of relates too to my my second
368:19
tip which is very similar to to to your tip about U making an
368:23
a kind of comment was ask an indirect question
368:25
and I noticed a lot of the comments your your tip was to make
368:29
a comment but a lot of your comments the examples you gave are questions
368:32
right and importantly I think
368:34
that those questions should be kind of indirect questions for example
368:37
if I'm standing at the bus stop
368:40
and I want to start a conversation with someone else standing at the bus
368:44
stop let's say it's very very hot
368:46
but if I turn to
368:47
that person and say do you think it's hot that's very strange
368:51
but if I say something like oh it's pretty hot today right you know
368:55
that's a little bit more casual a little bit more informal yeah um you
368:59
don't want to scare people with these very direct questions that's true that's true
369:03
and and even even a question that's a great example do you think it's
369:07
hot is a really weird question very strange question
369:10
but but again keeping
369:12
or giving people that opportunity to agree with you like you're you're throwing a
369:17
little opinion out there it's hot right oh yeah it's hot that's true that's
369:21
a really really good one I totally agree
369:23
or and I but I think for
369:25
that exact same reason I've had some people come up to me
369:27
and they they tried to begin a conversation with how are you
369:31
and I'm like that's yeah that's a that's a that's an intro ction
369:35
that you use for people
369:36
that you already know yes um
369:38
so don't try to start a conversation with how are you it sounds too
369:42
familiar and it's a little confusing to the person strangers don't always want to
369:47
tell you how they are that's true what
369:48
if I'm bad I don't want to tell you what
369:51
if I feel bad
369:51
that day yeah so don't use how are you to introduce yourself nice one
369:56
okay what do you have next um actually okay maybe this is somewhat related
370:01
to the one you just um mentioned okay um I've got okay this is
370:06
maybe in a like a party
370:08
or a social event situation I have energetically introduce yourself
370:12
and ask a question about where you are um
370:16
so this might be a little specific
370:17
but if you go to a social event where you're there to meet people
370:21
and to speak to people
370:23
if you go up to someone
370:24
and you just introduce yourself with a big smile
370:27
and say hi my name is Alicia have you ever been to one of
370:30
these events before something like
370:33
that can get the conversation started um
370:35
but again this is I feel like it's a tip that's good in a
370:39
place where um maybe everyone is there for a similar purpose
370:42
if you do that like on to use your example at the bus station
370:46
it's a little bit weird
370:47
or if you're if you're just in public you pass someone on the street
370:51
it's a little strange to just walk up
370:53
and introduce someone energetically um
370:56
but if you're in a location where you have this chance um there are
371:00
a couple of nice little introductory questions you could use um for events like
371:04
I don't that's one
371:05
that I would I've used like hi is this your first time here
371:09
or um who do you know at this party something like
371:12
that how did you find out about this event
371:15
that sort of thing also similar kind of question in those situations is asking
371:18
someone for help or for information
371:21
because it lets that other person know
371:23
that you're not a a scary
371:26
or threatening person in
371:27
that situation either if you're asking for help you know oh can you can
371:30
you tell me where the kitchen is I need to put this in the
371:33
refrigerator something like that
371:35
and then that that shows the other person
371:36
that you're not you're not an expert on this you're asking for their help
371:40
and that kind of gives people uh an easy thing to engage you on
371:44
easy thing to talk about yeah absolutely asking for help can be a nice
371:47
way too yeah that's a good point I think asking for help it also
371:49
kind of puts you in a slightly vulnerable position it makes you seem a
371:53
little bit like oh I need help
371:55
so you know please take care of me it's a little bit interesting
371:58
so that's a good tip too I think okay uh I think we're on
372:01
to number three for you we are uh my last one is very important
372:05
one this comes at the end
372:07
though is uh don't take it personally
372:11
if the person doesn't want to talk a lot of times
372:15
if you try and start a conversation with a stranger they don't always want
372:18
to talk to you people try
372:20
and talk stranger tries to talk to me I might be very busy I
372:22
might have had a bad day I may not want to talk to them
372:26
that doesn't mean that they're a bad person
372:28
or they can't speak English
372:30
or anything like that
372:31
so if you have
372:32
that experience you know my first tip was don't be shy you might be
372:34
very nervous about starting a conversation with someone
372:38
and then you work up the courage you go
372:40
and you ask them a question
372:41
and they don't want to talk to you that's okay don't take it personally
372:46
it has nothing to do with you um you know you can find someone
372:49
else to talk to that's true that's true
372:52
and I think that's especially important
372:53
because especially depending on the culture
372:56
that you're from you might have heard like oh English speakers particularly Americans they're
373:00
so friendly or so outgoing
373:02
but but you know
373:03
if a stranger tries to speak to me
373:05
or to you maybe we're going to ignore you on the street
373:07
because we don't know who
373:08
that person is or you know maybe like you say we've had a bad
373:12
day or whatever it is there are
373:14
so many reasons not to want to talk to a person
373:17
that you don't know
373:18
so don't be offended don't be sad don't be discouraged don't don't think
373:24
that oh my my English is
373:25
so bad this person didn't want to talk to me don't think
373:28
that that it could be any any other reason why someone doesn't want to
373:31
talk to you that's true that's true nice tip that's really important okay
373:35
then we will move on maybe to my last one uh okay
373:38
so for my last one this is maybe uh among people
373:42
that you have some acquaintance with
373:44
so maybe uh you're not super close to them
373:47
but you've seen them before uh
373:49
or maybe it's co-workers you're not super close to
373:52
but anyway you'd like to make your relationship with those people deeper you can
373:56
share a story about something you did recently something interesting a small short story
374:02
don't tell a long 10minute story about I don't know going shopping for milk
374:07
on the weekend that's that's boring
374:09
but something interesting that you did relatively recently
374:13
that maybe they can find something of Interest
374:16
or something of value in
374:18
so maybe you found a new restaurant
374:19
that was good maybe you went to a concert
374:22
and that was exciting maybe you met someone interesting
374:25
so if there's something
374:26
that you can share about yourself
374:28
that the other person might find valuable that's a good way um to to
374:33
initiate conversation yeah so on
374:36
that point if I can add another another free tip oh my gosh on
374:39
on that note it made me think you spoke earlier about being vulnerable asking
374:43
uh asking for help can show
374:45
that You're vulnerable tell an embarrassing story that's good too don't don't brag don't
374:49
talk about this great new car
374:50
that you bought no one wants to hear
374:52
that talk about how you you lost your car keys immediately after you bought
374:57
your new car tell an embarrassing story tell something
374:59
that will make the person laugh
375:01
and will make you um be vulnerable
375:03
and and look like a a normal person that's true that's true like telling
375:07
actually that's a good strategy it's called self-deprecation
375:11
so making it means to make yourself look bad
375:14
or to put yourself in a lower status a lower position
375:17
and it can be very effective for making friends
375:20
and like making people laugh uh I totally do this it's it's actually a
375:25
lot of fun when you think about it like a story about something bad
375:29
happening is often times more interesting than a story about something good happening that's
375:34
true so all the best comedies are about terrible things happen yeah
375:39
so if you have something like a little yeah like you lost your car
375:43
keys or you had some kind of funny episode where maybe you don't look
375:47
like the hero of the story that's a really good one to share have
375:51
you had anything happen to you recently oh my gosh I probably have I
375:57
lost my bag I just came back from uh traveling in Europe
376:00
and my bag got lost between Dubai airport
376:04
and to too airport
376:06
and so my bag didn't uh arrive
376:09
so I had to go 2 days without any of my clothes
376:11
or anything um and
376:13
then when I finally got my bag I was like Yay I got it
376:15
from the I got it from the delivery guy I was
376:18
so happy I opened it up
376:19
and like my sunscreen had exploded inside my bag I was like at least
376:26
I have my objects I have my clothes
376:28
and things and they won't get sunburned exactly now I won't sunburn any of
376:32
my clothes so yeah
376:33
so I mean it's like a small relatable
376:37
that moped small relatable story uh
376:40
that maybe someone else can identify like oh
376:43
that happened to me one time
376:45
and then the conversation rolls from there
376:47

as a greeting you can greet your friends you can greet your co-workers your
377:44
family with this phrase just by saying hello hey hi what's up hello sup
377:49
yo pretty much any time of day you can use hello hello the next
377:54
phrase is good morning good morning is used
377:56
as a greeting in the morning you can kind of feel
377:58
when morning ends for you good morning is nice
378:01
and polite or even just morning with your close friends are close co-workers the
378:06
next phrase is good night good night is fine we don't use this to
378:10
greet other people we use it
378:11
when we're saying goodbye to other people at night uh family members particularly mothers
378:15
and fathers to say good night to their children before they put them to
378:18
bed you can say it to your friend in a text message
378:21
or in an email
378:21
if you've been talking for a
378:22
while good night so the next word to talk about is goodbye uh use
378:26
it when you say goodbye to your friends
378:28
when you leave your friends goodbye bye of course take care have a nice
378:33
day peace out that's another way to say goodbye okay the next phrase is
378:37
I'm plus your name of course this is a way to introduce yourself you
378:40
can use I'm in my case Alicia I'm Alicia to introduce yourself in any
378:44
situation new friend I'm Alicia okay the next phrase is what's your name what's
378:49
your name is used to ask someone else what their name is
378:52
so what is your name sounds a bit tried to use what's your name
378:56
if you forget someone's name you can say sorry what's your name
378:59
or sorry what's your name again next phrase is nice to meet you nice
379:03
to meet you anytime you meet someone new nice to meet you is fine
379:07
good to meet you is a little more casual great to meet you sounds
379:10
very excited pleasure to meet you sounds like a maybe a formal situation
379:15
or a business context okay the next phrase is how are you how are
379:19
you is it's just a friendly way to check in with the other person
379:23
you can use it with friends your family your co-workers maybe even your boss
379:27
to a certain degree uh how are you how you doing the next phrase
379:31
is I'm fine thanks
379:33
and you uh if you saw English in 3 minutes we talked a lot
379:36
about this phrase instead of I'm fine thank you
379:38
and you say I'm good thanks how are you just shorten it make it
379:42
a little bit more natural how are you good how are you great how
379:47
are you not so good how are you okay
379:50
and so on so
379:51
when someone says how are you offer I usually say I'm good this week
379:55
I blah blah blah give some information about what you've been up to maybe
379:59
a hobby something that you did recently an event something interesting you saw whatever
380:04
people want to make
380:04
that connection with you
380:05
and it's a good chance for you to continue speaking the next word is
380:08
please please is a polite phrase used
380:11
when you want something from someone else you can use this
380:13
as a response when someone offers you something like in a restaurant for example
380:18
would you like more water would you like something to drink oh please the
380:21
next phrase is thank you thank you is used to express your appreciation you
380:25
can use thank you with everybody the next phrase is you're welcome you're welcome
380:29
when someone says thank you you can say you're welcome no biggie I use
380:34
no biggie as in no biggie is short for no big problem the next
380:38
word is yes yes of course yes means is any positive expression someone asks
380:45
you a question and the answer is a positive answer you say yes yep
380:49
uh-huh yeah we no next I'm guessing I know it yep the next word
380:55
is no no is a negative response to something
380:58
when you have to give a negative answer
381:01
so as you can probably guess um the long form of no is negative
381:05
I like to use nope it's very very casual not going to happen my
381:09
parents would use that with me to soften
381:11
that a little bit
381:12
if you want to show a negative response to something like let's go out
381:15
for dinner tonight what do you want to do like do you want to
381:17
go out not really no I don't think
381:22
so to soften it the next word is okay okay this word comes from
381:28
copy editors okay when they had to check a manuscript um they had to
381:33
label the manuscript all clear AC
381:36
but because they were copy editors
381:37
and they have a very very sick sense of humor they thought they would
381:40
mark it okay for all clear to make a joke
381:43
because o and K do not start all
381:45
and clear but it caught on among everybody in the world anyway okay uh
381:53
is used to agree with somebody else well it can be used actually to
381:56
express a positive or kind of a slight negative I feel transitioning in your
382:00
conversation you can say okay now we're going to talk about blah blah blah
382:04
okay the next phrase is excuse me excuse me it's used to get someone's
382:09
attention in English when you don't know the other person for example in a
382:13
store a supermarket maybe a stranger on the street you need to ask directions
382:16
you can use Excuse me you can use Excuse me in the supermarket excuse
382:20
me can you tell me where the hot sauce is
382:22
if you've done something rude in public you can use Excuse me I personally
382:27
do not do rude things in public ever I'm sorry is the next word
382:30
we're going to talk about I'm sorry is used to apologize
382:33
when you have made a mistake
382:34
or someone you know has made a mistake
382:36
and you're connected to it
382:37
or you just feel bad you can use I'm sorry you made a mistake
382:40
at work I'm sorry you forgot to feed your cat I'm sorry sorry about
382:46
that you bump someone next to you oh sorry what time is it is
382:49
the next phrase when you need to check what time it is what time
382:53
is it when you ask someone else what time it is maybe you say
382:56
this to yourself too check your watch check your phone check a clock pretty
383:00
straightforward phrase there aren't really any short versions
383:02
so that's an easy one he where is the plus a location
383:06
so you can use this for um a building
383:09
or a store we don't we're not going to use this where is the
383:12
for a place a city name
383:14
or a state name
383:14
or a country name to do
383:16
that you would need to remove the
383:18
but where is the bank where is the Post Office you can use this
383:21
to ask directions to ask for help in your house
383:23
or at work where is the copy machine where is the file I need
383:28
where is the blah blah blah where is the bathroom is perhaps a very
383:32
important question to know the next one is may I use the restroom may
383:36
I use the restroom is a polite uh
383:38
and soft expression that you can use
383:40
if you need to use the toilet you need to use the washroom
383:43
when you're at someone's house for the very first time
383:45
when you're in a place
383:46
that you're that is new to you you can ask may I use the
383:49
restroom more casually can I go to the bathroom to be very polite you
383:52
can say may I go to the bathroom the next phrase is I would
383:55
like to order something you can use this at a restaurant probably
383:59
or in any situation where you need to place an order I'd like a
384:03
pizza I'd like uh beer can I get the check please this will be
384:08
used at a restaurant
384:09
when you've finished your meal
384:10
and it's time to go can I get the check please in a very
384:13
very casual situation you can just say check please that's fine the next phrase
384:17
is see you soon see you soon is used with friends
384:20
and family members perhaps uh
384:22
when you expect to see them again soon after saying goodbye to them this
384:25
is used at the end of the conversation you're going separate directions you say
384:28
see you soon see you is also good
384:31
or just see you to make it a little more formal you can say
384:33
I'll see you again soon make a full sentence out of it
384:36
that way the next phrase is see you later see you later is very
384:39
similar to see you soon
384:40
but the point is with see you later is
384:42
that you're probably going to meet
384:44
that person again later on in the same day the last phrase is really
384:48
really is a very useful word
384:49
because you can use it to show you were interested in a conversation with
384:52
upward intonation really really tell me more
384:56
or to show that you're not
384:57
so interested in the conversation with downward intonation really
385:01
so there are many other words
385:02
that you can use similar to really in this way like seriously
385:06
or oh oh and
385:08
so on so it's a really good practice for your intonation uh
385:11

387:26
and much more common first hey how's it going hey how's it going you
387:35
can answer this in many ways
387:37
if you're feeling good you can say good good pretty good pretty good not
387:47
bad not bad once more good pretty good not bad here's a tip even
387:57
though these answers mean the same thing
388:00
as I'm fine you can't answer how's it going with I'm fine it will
388:06
sound a bit strange
388:09
if you're not feeling good you can say not
388:12
so good not so good not great not great
388:19
or not so well not
388:22
so well be careful
388:25
if you say one of these the other person will usually ask why what's
388:30
wrong to be polite
388:33
then you will have to explain another casual
388:37
but very common version of how are you is what's up what's up to
388:44
reply use a cheerful voice
388:46
as you say not much not much
388:50
or nothing much nothing much this means you're free
388:55
and able to chat since what's up is just another way of saying hello
389:02
you can also reply with hey hey
389:04
or hi now it's time for Alicia's advice a lot of the time
389:11
when we ask questions
389:12
that mean how are you in English we're not actually asking about the other
389:17
person's health we're only asking to be polite you should think of these questions
389:23
as another way of saying hello a way for the conversation to get started
389:28
instead of actual literal questions in fact
389:32
when someone asks you you what's up you don't even have to answer just
389:37
say what's up in reply welcome to englishclass101.com English in 3 minutes the fastest
389:50
easiest and most fun way to learn English hey everyone I'm Alicia in this
389:56
series we're going to learn some easy ways to ask
390:00
and answer common questions in English it's really useful
390:04
and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn how
390:09
to ask what someone's job is in natural English of course you can just
390:15
say what is your job this is correct English
390:19
but it sounds too direct
390:20
and awkward native English speakers almost never say this in a social situation instead
390:27
they use a different question
390:29
but before we master
390:30
that we need to compare it to a very similar question what are you
390:36
doing I'm presenting a video about English what do you do I'm an English
390:43
teacher do you see the difference these two questions what are you doing
390:49
and what do you do sound similar
390:52
but mean different things the first one is asking what you are doing right
390:58
now this minute you answer it using an ing verb what are you you
391:04
doing I'm reading I'm watching TV
391:08
while the second is actually a shortened version of what do you do for
391:13
a living this is how we ask what is your job in natural English
391:18
let's practice this question what do you do what do you do
391:24
when native speakers of English ask this question it can come out very fast
391:29
and sound more like what do you do in order to tell it apart
391:33
from what are you doing just listen for the in sound on the end
391:38
of the question if it's not there
391:41
then you're being asked what your job is
391:44
so how would you answer this question just think of it
391:48
as if the other person is asking you what is your job you could
391:53
answer with I am plus your job I'm a teacher I'm a teacher
392:00
or I'm an engineer
392:02
if you want to learn more job names go to englishclass101.com

392:20
that you work at starting with I work at I work at a hospital
392:26
I work at a hospital I work at a law firm I work at
392:32
a law firm if you work for a big company
392:36
that is well known you can say I work for
392:40
and then the name I work for Microsoft I work for Microsoft I work
392:47
for the New York Times I work for the New York Times now it's
392:53
time for Alicia's advice
392:55
when you ask the question what do you do
392:58
and the other person tells you their job it's polite to make some kind
393:03
of POS positive comment about his
393:05
or her job for example how interesting
393:09
or that must be exciting

393:47
to ask what someone's hobbies are without using the word Hobbies you've probably seen
393:54
the question do you have any hobbies
393:57
or what are your hobbies in an English textbook before however native English speakers
394:05
almost never use the word Hobbies
394:08
when asking about them a much more natural way to ask the same question
394:13
is what do you do for fun let's practice this question what do you
394:19
do for fun what do you do for fun you can also ask what
394:26
do you do in your free time what do you do in your free
394:32
time so how would you answer this question let's look at how native speakers
394:38
would do it the easiest way is to say I like to
394:43
or just I like followed by what you like to do for example
394:49
if you like watching movies you could say I like to watch movies
394:54
or I like watching movies I like to watch movies
394:59
or I like watching movies
395:03
and if you like golf you could say I like to play golf
395:07
or I like playing golf I like to play golf
395:12
or I like playing golf you can emphasize how much you like your hobby
395:18
by adding a word like really in front of like for example I really
395:24
like watching movies on the other hand
395:27
if you want to play Down how much you like something you can say
395:32
kind of for for example I kind of like playing tennis now it's time
395:38
for Alicia's advice if you don't have any special Hobbies
395:43
or don't want to be specific a good way to reply is I like
395:49
hanging out with my friends
395:50
and stuff like that I like hanging out with my friends
395:55
and stuff like that just use I like
396:00

and stuff like that welcome to englishclass101.com English in 3 minutes the fastest easiest

and most fun way to learn English hey everyone I'm Alicia this series explains
396:24
some easy ways to ask
396:26
and answer common questions in English it's really useful
396:31
and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn some
396:37
different ways people will ask you where are you from first
396:41
though where are you from can mean many things it can mean what city
396:48
are you from or what state are you from in fact Americans ask this
396:54
question to each other all the time to learn what part of America the
396:58
other person comes from of course
397:01
though it can also mean what country are you from
397:05
if you want to answer this question there are two ways to do it
397:10
you can say I'm plus your nationality
397:14
as in I'm Japanese
397:16
or I'm Brazilian or you can say I'm from plus the country you are
397:24
from as in I'm From Italy
397:28
or I'm from Thailand
397:30
if you're from a really famous city
397:33
or place you can say
397:35
that too for example I'm from Beijing
397:39
or I'm from New Delhi many times
397:43
though Americans won't ask what country are you from
397:47
or even where are you from in many casual situations they will say it
397:53
in a simpler way where are you from this is just like where are
397:58
you from but they take out the are where are you from you can
398:04
use this too in casual situations of course in the United States
398:10
as in other parts of the world people may be a little more indirect
398:15
because they want to be polite to do this they might ask you
398:19
if you are from the place where they meet you for example
398:24
if you meet someone in New York they might ask are you from New
398:29
York or if you are in San Diego they might ask are you from
398:34
San Diego many parts of the United States are very Multicultural
398:40
so asking the question this way avoids what could be an embarrassing mistake you
398:47
can answer this the same way you answer where are you from just add
398:52
a simple no in front for example you can say no plus I'm plus
399:01
nationality no I'm French
399:04
or no plus I'm from plus country no I'm from Russia now it's time
399:14
for Alicia's advice since the United States is very large People You Meet may
399:20
take great pride in the place
399:22
or region they come from
399:25
if you ask someone about where they're from they may respond by saying something
399:30
like West Coast or the East Coast Coast
399:34
or California or the South
399:37
or the Midwest if they answer in this way it usually means they are
399:42
interested in talking more about their region
399:45
and how it differs from others welcome to englishclass101.com English in 3 minutes the
399:58
fastest easiest and most fun way to learn English hey hey everyone I'm Alicia
400:05
this series will teach you some easy ways to ask
400:09
and answer common questions in English it's really useful
400:13
and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn some
400:19
new ways to ask someone what's your name including one
400:24
that you can use
400:25
when you have forgotten someone's name now what is your name was probably one
400:31
of the first questions you learned
400:33
when you started studying English I have to tell you
400:37
though that most native speakers of English would never say this in English just
400:44
like in other languages it is often more polite to be a little indirect
400:50
of course the easiest way to avoid asking the question directly is to not
400:55
ask at all just introduce yourself
400:59
and most people will respond by doing the same
401:02
when introducing yourself simple is nearly always best just say hi I'm Alicia to
401:11
show that you want to know the other person's name just add
401:15
and you at the end hi I'm Alicia
401:20
and you hi I'm Alicia
401:24
and you just like before take out my name Alicia
401:30
and put your name in its place after you you say this the other
401:34
person will tell you his
401:36
or her name okay now let's talk about an embarrassing situation
401:41
that happens to everybody you have already met this person once before
401:47
but you have forgotten their name the most polite thing to do in this
401:52
situation is to apologize
401:54
and ask again there's a simple way to do this that's also polite I'm
402:00
sorry what was your name again I'm sorry what was your name again this
402:08
sentence is very similar to what's your name
402:12
but it has three important differences first we say I'm sorry a small apology
402:20
can go a long way after
402:23
that we say what was your name this is just like what is your
402:28
name but instead of is we use the past tense was this is really
402:34
important as it tells the other person
402:37
that you remember meeting them you haven't forgotten him
402:41
or her you have just forgotten the name this little word makes all the
402:47
difference I'm sorry what was your name finally we add again to the end
402:55
this is another hint
402:56
that tells the other person
402:58
that you remember learning his
403:00
or her name before
403:02
but you just can't can't recall it right now I'm sorry what was your
403:07
name again this phrase is appropriate for both formal
403:11
and informal situations now it's time for Alicia's advice in the United States it's
403:19
normal to address people by name in conversation more than once in both formal
403:24
and informal situations it's a way to show respect
403:28
or interest in the other person
403:30
and can help you make friends it is also a great way to practice
403:35
someone's name so you don't forget it
403:37
if you are talking to someone named an for example instead of just what
403:42
do you do for fun you could say an what do you do for
403:47
fun you can also put the name at the end of the sentence what
403:52
do you do for fun an you don't want to say the person's name
403:56
too often or it will sound a little strange
404:00
but if you practice someone's name like this you won't forget it
404:04

and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn some
404:37
ways to get in touch with someone after you have met them once already
404:42
in a lot of textbooks you've probably seen the question what's your phone number
404:48
what's your phone number it's a very useful question
404:53
but there are two problems with it first it can sound a little too
404:58
direct especially when talking to members of the opposite sex
405:03
and second people use the phone a lot less these days than they used
405:07
to instead they might prefer to connect by email
405:12
or on a social network like Facebook to start
405:16
though a simple variation on what's your phone number
405:20
that sounds a little less direct is could I get your number could I
405:26
get your number we start the sentence with could
405:30
which softens the request next next say I
405:35
then get and finally your number
405:38
which is short for your phone number this question is slightly casual
405:44
but it can be used in almost any situation recently many people prefer to
405:50
use email rather than the phone to communicate asking someone for his
405:55
or her email address is also a little less direct than asking for their
406:00
phone number could I get your email email address could I get your email
406:06
address we just took could I get your number
406:10
and replaced number with email address it's
406:15
that simple could I get your email address
406:18
if someone asks you either of these questions you can reply by saying sure
406:24
my phone number is sure my phone number is
406:30
or sure my email address address is sure my email address is
406:38
or sure it's and
406:40
then say your phone number
406:42
or email address at the End by the way

or an online chatting service like Skype to communicate people might ask you about
407:18
these especially if they are younger
407:21

407:54
can connect with you on one of these Services of course
407:59
if you're not on one of these Services they won't be able to contact
408:03
you if you still would like to stay in touch with the person

408:09
but my email address is
408:11

408:32
or or some other form of contact information they will usually give it to
408:37
you if you have gotten to know them a little beforehand
408:41
if you ask too early in the conversation

but here are some of the most common you could say do you know
409:45
and then the name of the area you live in do you know Twin
409:48
Pines or you could mention a local Landmark like near the library near the
409:55
movie theater you could also answer by telling the person what train line you
409:59
live on if your city has a train Network
410:02
or what station is the nearest to your house on the Green Line near
410:07
Central Station so as you can see there are lots of possible ways to
410:11
answer the question where do you live once you've told them the other person

might respond in one of the following ways oh yeah I know it I
410:21
live near there or maybe I'm afraid I don't know it the other person
410:26
is just being polite by showing interest
410:28
so you can reply by saying something like oh really since the other person
410:33
is asking you this question to be polite a good way to continue the
410:37
conversation is to ask them the same question in return you can just say
410:42
how about you or where do you live put some stress on the you
410:48
where do you live now it's time for Alicia's advice asking where someone lives
410:54
is a way to try to find something you have in common with the
410:57
person you're talking to
410:59
so if you're familiar with the area the other person lives in make some
411:02
comments about it that's a really nice area
411:06
or the park there is really pretty anything is fine
411:09
as long as you don't say anything negative

that could be taken

and it only takes 3 minutes in this lesson you're going to learn how
411:47
to ask someone where they went to school
411:49
or college asking someone where they went to college is a good small talk
411:54
question and conversation starter however you have to be careful not to offend people
411:59
if they didn't go to college we'll tell you how to do this this
412:03
the question is simple
412:04
if the other person is over 22 it's likely they will have left College
412:09
already so you ask using the past tense where did you go to college
412:14
you could also say where did you go to school in American English depending
412:19
on context School often means the same
412:21
as College if the other person is British
412:24
or european however they're more likely to say where did you go to university
412:29
the answer to this question is really easy oh you say is I went
412:33
to University in city I went to Southern Oregon University in Ashland
412:40
if the name of the city
412:41
or town is part of the University's name like Tokyo University
412:45
or Oxford University you can add the name of the country instead I went
412:50
to Tokyo University in Japan once you've heard the other person's answer it's polite
412:55
to make some kind of comment for example wow that's a really famous university
413:01
or just oh really sometimes
413:04
when you ask where did you go to college the other person might reply
413:08
I didn't go to college in this situation you should be careful how you
413:12
reply so as not to appear rude it's polite to not act surprised
413:17
but instead make a positive comment like oh really
413:20
or ask a question like did you go straight into a job now it's
413:24
time for Alicia's advice a good follow-up question to keep the conversation going is
413:30

or what was your major this gives them an opportunity to talk about something
