hi everybody my name is Alisha welcome

back to top words today we’re going to

talk about 10 ways to stop translating

in your head let’s get started

identify objects around you in English

the first way to stop translating in

your head is to identify the objects

around you in your target language so if

you’re studying English that means you

look at the objects around the room look

at the things in your life don’t think

of them in your native language first

think of them in your target language

first so if I look around the room I see

a computer I shouldn’t think my native

language word I should think my target

language word so start with the items

and the situations in your everyday life

if I say computer in English maybe I

should say computer in Japanese I should

say not I don’t know water in English I

should say Oh Mesa in Japanese so start

associating the words in your target

language with your everyday life now so

if you’re studying English that means

start getting familiar with the things

in your everyday life in English repeat

phrases you hear native speakers use tip

number two is to repeat the phrases that

you hear native speakers use so if

you’re watching this channel for example

or you’re watching a TV show or a movie

listen for the way that native speakers

make those phrases if you hear a phrase

you have never heard before or you hear

an interesting combination of words try

to repeat them yourself don’t just

listen try to save them yourself if

you’re in a public space and it’s

difficult for you to do that fine

practice in a place where you feel more

comfortable maybe if you have some

private space to practice just repeat

them get your mouth used to saying the

words the way that the speaker’s the

native speakers do so if you never

actually say words if you’re only taking

in if you’re only

singing and you’re not actually

producing the language it’s it’s kind of

hard to to practice and to to really

hone your pronunciation to improve your

pronunciation so when you listen to

native speakers try to repeat after them

so for example if you’re studying

English

you can try to repeat after this video

you can repeat after the things I’m

saying because maybe I’m using an

expression or I’m using a certain series

of vocabulary words together the way a

native speaker would and it’s maybe a

good idea to try to practice the ways

that native speakers put their words

together so try to repeat after native

speakers especially when you’re looking

at media and you can do this when you’re

reading books too you can try to read

out read out loud interesting lines of

books that you find or something that

maybe is difficult for you

very nice practice to make a situation

where you can’t escape into your native

language make a situation where you

can’t escape into your native language

essentially means immerse yourself of

course going to that country are going

to a place where you can speak only that

language is very difficult for some of

you totally understand but if in your

life you can create a situation in your

library in your room in your house

somewhere for just an hour or I don’t

know maybe a day I don’t know what your

schedule is like but if you can create a

situation or create an environment where

you have no choice but to use that

language and you cannot escape meaning

you cannot go back to using your native

language as a crutch you can’t use the

native language at all it forces you to

use the language that you’re studying so

of course if you are lucky enough to

live in the country or to live in a

place where people speak the language

you’re studying great but you have to go

out and interact with people you have to

put yourself in a place where you have

no choice but to speak it’s very hard

and it’s very scary and it’s very

embarrassing at first but if you take

time to find places and to make and

parents that are comfortable for you

where you feel comfortable making

mistakes and asking questions it’s very

valuable for your learning process this

is actually something that I did totally

I totally did this

my Japanese wasn’t very good for a long

time but then I started making friends

who could not speak English actually I

just did this through finding hobbies

there was a hobby that I had I joined a

group I joined actually a school to

where I could learn how to do that hobby

and everything was taught only in

Japanese and the people in my class only

spoke Japanese mostly and then maybe we

would go out for drinks and food late at

night or on the weekends and everybody

spoke only Japanese and if I couldn’t

communicate even simply in Japanese I

had no hope of keeping that friendship

together so it forced me to study it

forced me to think about the words they

were using and to try to learn those

words those patterns as well as how to

produce them naturally myself so I was

learning the vocabulary words the people

around me were using and learning how to

apply them on my own that was only

possible because I had no escape in

those situations so try to do that even

if you can do it yourself in your house

it’s super helpful I think watch TV and

movies in your target language without

subtitles tip number four is to watch TV

and movies in your target language

without subtitles without subtitles so I

think that watching with subtitles can

be very beneficial so if I’m watching

something or if you want to watch

something with subtitles on great let’s

I sometimes find that I can in my case I

think too much about reading the

subtitles and I forget to listen so

maybe if you’ve seen a movie in your

target language a few times with the

subtitles on try turning the subtitles

off and think about the like character’s

body language the words they’re using

you can always look that up later look

up the you know the words you don’t know

in a dictionary but try to do it where

you’re focusing completely on the way

that people are using

words try not to use the subtitles so

kind of play around with it a little bit

if there’s a word that’s difficult for

you to hear you can actually turn on the

subtitles in like the in the native

language of the movie as well that’s

something that I’ve done like if look if

I wanted to study Japanese it’s very

useful when the actual words spoken in

Japanese appear on the screen sometimes

it’s easier for me to catch a word if I

see it visually and I hear it at the

same time so another way to kind of

explore how you can use TV and movies is

to actually turn on the closed captions

like the the words on the screen in the

native language of the movie so so this

is sort of two points in one so one

watch movies without subtitles

meaning subtitles in your native

language and hint to is to watch movies

with closed captioning on but the closed

captioning is in your target language

not in your native language so you can

try those two things with TV and with

movies don’t bring a dictionary to your

lesson tip number five is don’t bring a

dictionary to your lesson okay so it

gives me a second here so I understand

the dictionaries it was especially

electronic dictionaries we have them on

our phones now are very very convenient

of course it’s important to use them and

it’s a they’re a great resource to have

however one thing that really bothers me

and that I think is detrimental it’s not

helpful for students is when students

are in a lesson and they’re practicing

conversation and they reach a point in

the conversation where they don’t know

the word they want to use they know it

in their native language and they don’t

know how to say it in their target

language they pull out their dictionary

they say to this the person listening to

them their practice partner in their

lesson where they have a limited period

of time just a moment and then they look

it up on their phone it takes a few

seconds the flow of the conversation

stops and then they say a word it’s like

wow no that’s not you don’t

have that ability you don’t have the

ability to do that in a conversation

with a native speaker most people like

if you go to a bank and try to open a

bank account are you really going to

pull out your dictionary and sit there

and try to communicate you know just a

moment just a moment as you look up each

word you don’t know no or if you do

that’s not a real conversation

so instead try using a different

strategy by that I mean if you find a

word you don’t know in conversation

explain the word to your conversation

partner maybe they know the word if

you’re speaking with a native speaker

this is a chance for them to teach you a

word I find that when people take the

time to teach me a word

I remember the word much better than

just looking it up on my dictionary so

try to resist maybe you can bring a

dictionary to your lesson but don’t use

it or try not to use it in your

conversation practice it’s just it

destroys the flow of a conversation so

instead practice the skill of describing

the vocabulary word you want to use and

learn how to ask the meaning of a word

or learn how to ask for a vocabulary

word from your partner so you can use an

expression like ah what’s the word that

means pop habla or you know it’s this

thing that does this and this and this

so this is an opportunity for you to

describe characteristics of something or

find a different way you can use your

body language you can use whatever you

have a lot of tools but try not to use a

dictionary in a conversation because

it’s not realistic train responses to

common questions number six is a quick

one I think number six hint number six I

have is just to Train responses to

common questions train responses to

common questions so for example a very

common question in English is hey how

are you you should know how to answer

this question just have a default

response hey how are you I’m good if it

takes you a long time to answer the

question hey how are you

you need to practice I think that’s a

pretty good a pretty good indicator so

for example sometimes I ask

students a question like that they

haven’t quite gotten the idea of how to

respond just yet they’re not so quick at

responding I say hey how are you and

they say yes and then they think and

they go I am I’m a good and it’s like

that’s a very common question so think

about just a default response that you

can spit out that you can quickly say if

it’s how was your weekend or hey what’s

up or what do you want to do for dinner

tonight think about like just a handful

meaning just a few responses to those

questions and train them quickly just

how are you I’m good how are you I’m

okay how are you not bad there’s three

so it’s just training responses to those

questions there’s no reason to be

surprised by a question like how are you

like that’s a very common question so

for those common questions trained

responses so that we’ve got a bunch of

videos especially beginner level videos

for some example responses you can do so

don’t get stuck with these little

questions just train a few responses

practice a few responses till they feel

natural to you it’ll save you time and

it’ll help the person asking the

question to to move forward in the

conversation okay

study with materials that don’t provide

a translation the next tip is to study

with materials that don’t provide a

translation so by this I mean if you’re

using worksheets or some kind of

textbook or whatever and it has your

target language the language you’re

studying and it has your native language

next to it while this can be useful I

feel that if you can studying your

materials only in your target language

and then simplified explanations for

more detailed points also in your target

language can be a little bit better so I

don’t want to say like you should only

study things in your target language and

nothing from your native language

because of course like it can be helpful

sometimes to look up a word or to

understand a grammar point in your

native language but where possible if

you

find something that provides simplified

explanations in your target language it

can be really really helpful because

again you’re thinking you’re learning to

think on like a simpler on a more basic

level about the language you’re studying

in the language that you’re studying so

this can be really really good

so finding some materials to use where

there’s no translation maybe you can

practice of course with with books and

with written materials but also with

like video materials as well so there

are a variety of different ways that you

can find materials in your target

language like in video and TV so some

things to think about there are the

level of vocabulary words people are

using in the media content you’re

watching who the media content is

intended for children young adults

adults the speed at which the speaker is

talking so like I have the ability to

change the level of difficulty of videos

based on the rate of speech the

vocabulary words that I use and how many

like idioms and things I use so I could

make a video very difficult we could

make a very like a very difficult video

series by leveling up our vocabulary use

or by speaking very quickly or as you

might see in like our English in three

minutes series we can also use very

simple vocabulary and speak at a low

rate of speech so maybe right now this

is a very intermediate level video so

please think about that so not just for

written materials but also for your

audio and visual materials think about

who your audience is the level of the

material and so on it can be really fun

and it can be helpful to think about

your your target language in your target

language all right we’re all Muslim

study phrases in addition to single

vocabulary the next tip is study phrases

in addition to single vocabulary words

so yes of course vocabulary is important

but I find it personally very very

useful to look at how a vocabulary word

is used in a phrase because sometimes

using it in a phrase helped

see use understand the nuance of that

vocabulary word really really well so if

I like a word like crazy for example in

English depending on the situation where

the word crazy is used it could mean

something different it could mean like a

person who is mentally confused or mixed

up it could also mean something really

good it could mean something really bad

so if we look only at the word crazy

it’s quite difficult to understand

really the meaning of the word but if

you look at the way the word is used in

a phrase you can get a lot more

information so take a look at the way

people use words in phrases not just a

single vocabulary words you can learn a

lot more that way I think do your daily

activities in English where possible the

next step is to do your daily activities

in your target language so if you’re

studying English that means try to do

some daily activities in English if

possible so this can be very very boring

stuff but just think about it when

you’re doing the activity so like right

now I’m filming a video for English

class 101.com or I’m going to work I’m

cooking breakfast I’m doing the laundry

what do I have to do tomorrow so try

thinking about your everyday life in

English if you’re studying English try

thinking about your everyday activities

the people that you meet what are you

doing so this is a way to help you

practice your verbs so if you don’t know

if you’re I don’t know you’re doing

something at work and you’re like oh my

gosh how do I explain the what’s the

verb for you know a picture like I want

to blah blah blah a picture what’s the

word you can check a dictionary at that

point and go up its draw like I need to

use the verb draw or draw a picture so

you can find these little gaps in your

everyday life these little gaps in your

knowledge if you think about your

everyday activities in your target

language if you don’t think about it in

your target language you might not

realize you have vocabulary gaps or

phrase gaps here and there so this is a

really good and kind of funny actually

way to study use a learner’s dictionary

for new words the last tip is to use a

learner’s dictionary for new words so in

English there are

learners dictionaries available in

English so my favorite my personal

favorite is merriam-webster

merriam-webster is a fantastic

dictionary resource they’re so

interesting and they have tons of like

historical information I really do just

sit and like readings on the dictionary

page lately it’s true

but of course there’s a definition

there’s a meaning for words there are

example sentences for words but

merriam-webster also has what’s called a

learner’s dictionary if you find a word

that you don’t recognize you can check

it in a dictionary in a learner’s

dictionary and it gives you a simplified

a simple explanation in simple English

of that word so instead of checking it

in your native language you can check it

in your target language so again this

helps you to understand the word that

you are that you’re focused on but you

understand it from the language you’re

studying not from your native language

so using a learner’s dictionary can be

really really useful as well yeah all

right so those are ten tips those are 10

tips to help you stop translating in

your head I know it’s very difficult but

it’s it takes time and it takes practice

and I hope that these are a few

strategies that can help you as you

study any language of course this is an

English language channel an English

language learning channel but I think

these tips are pretty good for learning

just about any language really so I hope

those are useful for you if you have

the first thing you say to someone when

you see them in the morning good morning

sir would you like a cup of coffee

good morning could I please get some

more

jous good morning I’m still tired from

the night before hello hello is the most

common greeting you’ll hear that and hi

hello is a polite nice way to greet

someone when you see them hello

everyone says it you cannot go wrong

saying hello hello can be used at any

time of the day no matter whether it’s

morning or at night or at 4:00 a.m. when

you see someone you can say hello and it

will still be appropriate long time no

see long time no see it’s not

necessarily grammatically correct but

it’s a saying that we have hey long time

no see what it means is that you haven’t

seen that person in a long time so it

literally means long time no see long

time no see is something you say to

someone when you haven’t seen them in a

while hey John long time no see how are

the wife and kids

how have you been hey how have you been

I haven’t seen you in a long time

how have you been is asking someone how

they’re doing and how they’ve been for

the past however long if you haven’t

seen them in a while

you might say hey long time no see how

have you been how have you been that’s

past tense it implies that you haven’t

seen them in a while and you want to

hear about how they are and how they’ve

been for all of that time that you

haven’t seen them Hey long time no see

how have you been how are you how are

you means how are you doing how are you

feeling how is everything it’s a

standard thing that you might say to

anyone even if you’ve seen them the day

before you might see them today I’d say

hey how are you how’s it going hey how’s

it going how’s it going is a more

informal way to say how are you so how

are you and how’s it going they mean the

same thing it’s asking how you’re doing

how you are feeling is everything okay

with you what’s up what’s up is another

way of saying hey how is it going but

this one is even more informal so you

might say this to friends hey what’s up

and they’ll say nothing just living my

life you know day in and day out hey

what’s up hey what’s up good afternoon

good afternoon how are you would you

like some lunch good afternoon is a

polite way to greet someone in the

afternoon so if you run into your boss

you might say good afternoon it’s very

nice it’s polite not a lot of people say

it to their friends but it’s it’s a

polite way to greet someone good evening

good evening is a nice way to greet

someone in the evening time you can only

use this phrase in the evening because

it’s wishing someone a good evening it’s

saying hello at a certain time of day

good evening would you like some dinner

good evening have you eaten yet all of

my examples involve food it seems it’s

nice to meet you it’s nice to meet you

this is something that’s very common to

say the first time that you meet someone

hi everyone i’m christine from english

class 101 comm in this video we’ll be

talking about how to curse like an

english native speaker piss a slang term

for urine for example don’t piss your

pants you can say this when you’re

really scared or anxious for example if

you’re about to go onstage to make a

speech or perform someone can say don’t

piss your pants you can do it pissed off

to be really angry when I’m angry I can

say hey I’m really pissed off at you

right now

why did you do that for loser used to

describe an uncool person in high school

my friends and I would use this a lot

and we would say hey loser how’s it

going idiot

used to install people by saying they’re

not intelligent of all the mean things

that you can say this is on the lighter

side but people still use it shoot this

is used to show disappointment or

frustration without using a stronger

curse word shoot I spilled my coffee

shut up you can use this when you want

them to be quiet or there’s something

surprising that you just heard you can

say shut up no way

ticked off to be really angry you can

say this with pissed off so this is

actually an older term not many people

use this as much anymore because most

people actually just use pissed-off fool

this is similar to saying someone is

like a clown you can say you’re acting

like a fool right now jerk this is a

light insult used to describe someone

who is mean for example if there’s

someone bullying another person that

person is being a jerk whip this means

someone who isn’t strong there is a

movie out right

now called Diary of a Wimpy Kid have you

seen it have you not I haven’t yet so

how was it if you have any more

questions please leave a comment below

see you next time

hey everyone I’m Parris from English

class 101.com in this video we’re

talking about how to ask and give

directions let’s start to the left the

first phrase is where is the where is

the for example you can ask where is the

bank this can be used to ask for a

general location or detailed directions

don’t be surprised if you only receive

basic information for example next to

the grocery store the next phrase is I

need to go to the I need to go to the

for example you can say I need to go to

the police station the word need is used

but this is used for non-emergencies as

well how do I get to the how do I get to

the for example you can say how do I get

to the museum this question can be used

to ask for step-by-step directions

instead of a general location is the

near here is the near here for example

you can say is the library near here if

you’re unfamiliar with an area you can

ask to get this information about a

specific place where you want to go is

the bathroom near here excuse me

do you know where the is excuse me do

you know where the is for example you

can say excuse me

do you know where the park is only use

excuse me when you’re starting a

conversation with a stranger another

common phrase is is the far from here is

the far from here for example you can

say is the post office front from here

this is an indirect way to ask for

directions people will tell you how far

the place is and probably tell you the

best way to get there walking taking a

bus driving uber now let’s take a look

at expressions to give directions turn

left

turn left for example you can say turn

left after two blocks this gives you

information about how far you should go

before you make any changes in this case

you should go left to the left turn

right turn right for example you can say

turn right at the third traffic light

this also gives you information about

how far you should go before taking

another action in this case you should

go right go straight go straight

this simply tells you to go in one

direction it also implies that if you

keep going straight that you will

eventually find what you’re looking for

go past go past for example you can say

go past the church a landmark is just an

easily noticeable place for example a

movie theater restaurant at the corner

of at the corner of for example you can

say it’s at the corner of this means

that a place is located at the corner or

two streets meet in front of in front of

for example you can say the bus station

is in front of the supermarket we use

front to refer to the main entrance of a

building it can also mean visible from

the front and doesn’t necessarily mean

it’s directly in front of something

behind behind for example you can say

the parking lot is behind the movie

theater we use behind to say that

something is at the rear of a building

the front of a building is its main

entrance so which side it’s facing the

street is really not important next to

next to for example you can say the

restaurant is next to the part this is

an example of using a nonspecific

location to give general directions next

to can be anywhere beside in front of or

around a place McDonald’s is next to my

house between between for example you

can say the store is between the coffee

shop and the pet store the

queen is used with two other places when

using between the main place will always

be in the middle of the two other places

okay that’s all for this lesson which

phrase do you like the most

leave us a comment and let us know and

I’ll see you next time guys bye hey guys

I’m Parris from English class 101.com in

this video we’ll be talking about making

complaints in English so let’s get

started the first complaint is I’m

starving I’m starving this is an

exaggeration you can use when you’re

hungry I am always starving even right

now the next complaint is its noisy its

noisy this kind of complaint is one that

you would make to a friend telling the

staff of a restaurant won’t help since

they can’t tell people to be quiet

I hate when it’s noisy restaurants save

that for another time then we have it’s

hot it’s hot this can be used to talk

about the weather or the temperature of

a room you can add a request like can

you turn on the air-conditioner I am

never hot so I like that

the next complaint is it’s cold it’s

cold this can be used to talk about the

weather or the temperature of a room you

can add a request like can you turn on

the heater I always make this request

because it’s always too cold everywhere

everywhere it’s too expensive it’s too

expensive even if you have enough money

to buy something it may be more money

than you want to spend it would probably

be considered rude to say this to

someone who works at a store but I

always think okay I’m in Gucci it’s way

too expensive another common complaint

is I’m tired I’m tired use this

complaint to imply that you want to sit

down relax go home take a break when I

babysit my five-year-old cousin I leave

thinking I’m tired the next complaint is

common complaint among people who

commute to work by car certain roads are

especially bad during rush hour which is

the time in the morning or night most

people are going home or to work if I

LA it took me 30 minutes to get here and

I drive really really fast and it still

took me 30 minutes the next complaint is

the Wi-Fi here is too slow the Wi-Fi

here is too slow this is just a general

complaint you may have about the

internet speed if you’re at a cafe or

somewhere with Wi-Fi you can request

that they reset the Wi-Fi to improve the

speed if you’re having a party and

you’re having friends over and your

Wi-Fi is too slow you might as well end

that party now no Wi-Fi no party my boss

is annoying

to mean that someone does things that

you don’t like or they ask you to do

things that you don’t like either way an

annoying boss is a bad experience I am

very familiar with this hey Paris grab

name is Alisha and today I am joined

again in the studio by my goal hello and

today we’re going to be talking about

things that were cool in the 90s the

things that were interesting or things

that maybe we were interested in in the

90s I’m guessing that we’re going to

have some very different opinions based

on our experiences of the 90s so let’s

get right into it Michael your first

item please okay boy bands so I remember

boy bands were very very popular when I

was a kid in the 90s I had three older

brothers who had punched me and tell me

boy bands are for girls don’t like boy

bands so that was my experience with

them and they became kind of uncool I

feel like after the 90s and then they

never were uncool in like Korea and like

a lot of Asian countries they still had

like a strong boy band kind of scene or

whatever my band’s now is that really

what they’re called I don’t know I just

mean I think I feel like boy they’re boy

bands then are now becoming boys to men

maybe so I mean now they came now it

came back like what is that what’s the

British one now it’s kind of cool again

well one direction one direction yeah so

I think it’s come back it’s full circle

didn’t they just break up I’m gonna go

with something that I loved in the 90s

this is probably way too specific uh

probably

but it’s this show called Doug that was

on Nickelodeon and there weren’t a whole

lot of episodes of Douglas I don’t know

like twenty or thirty I feel like not

even that many did you see this show

yeah that’s very nostalgic for me I

don’t twenty thirty episode I feel I

feel like I had I’d seen them all so I I

know that I saw them all because I paid

it would come back it would come on one

day after school and I bet I’ve seen

this episode but the whole the whole

idea with Doug is Doug was like this

just this plain kid and he had an older

sister he went to school he had a dog

get a best friend and he would just

encounter these every day of life

scenarios that would be kind of

troubling or he

know how to deal with them but like he

was kind of a role model I feel like he

was kind of being like a good kid or

sometimes he would get into trouble but

then you know eventually he would solve

the problem or he’d find a way out of it

so but I really loved that show I really

loved Nickelodeon in general I’m during

the 90s it yeah did you watch that

channel of course I love to Nickelodeon

um I think I was more like Fox stuff

like that but I guess I’ll segue into

another one of mine you’re talking about

wholesome so something that’s my

childhood I was raised on TV those

sitcoms so I think this is kind of died

down again like the boy bands wear it

people think it’s cheesy now it’s all

reality TV shows that kind of stuff but

that’s that is my childhood right there

is you know full house and these kinds

of shows step by step where there’s a

moral at the end of the story and so

everyone there’s always kind of like the

the protagonist is always like maybe

he’s unsure but by the end they know the

right thing to do and they play like the

violin kind of sad not quite sad but

like heartwarming music you know like

well and then they give a speech and as

a kid you know you don’t really like

think about it but that gets into your

like I move man deep because a full

house if you lie I’ve learned this as

deep in my subconscious if you lie and

then you keep lying

it’s snowballs and it gets worse and

worse and worse so it’s best to just

right away tell the truth that was a

really common theme and most sitcoms I

think that like they’re just trying to

teach kids don’t lie it’s bad you’re

right you’re right sitcoms are youjin by

the way sitcoms is is a portmanteau

portmanteau meaning two words put

together of situation and comedy so

situation and comedy equals sitcom in

this case okay nice nice I’m gonna go to

my next one let’s see I think probably

every little girl in the 90s in America

anyway knew what this was I don’t know

if you knew it’s this brand called Lisa

Frank um Lisa Frank are you aware of

Lisa Frank

are you aware elesif right no okay she

knows she knows and Lisa Frank is so

Lisa Frank is just bright it was always

like brightly colored school supplies

like pinks and purples and blues and it

would always have unicorns and doll

and mystical creatures he was just

bright and everybody all the girls loved

it I loved it I had Lisa Frank just

whatever I could get my hands on it’s B

pencils or erasers or just pinks and

rainbows and hearts and stuff like that

so I think every every girl who grew up

in the 90s knows what Lisa Frank is okay

so talking about style in whatnots

grunge grunge is something that I hits

close to home for me and I think that

came out of the 90s is I mean everybody

knows around the world I think most

people know Nirvana yeah Kurt Cobain and

this is something that I guess was

brought to the world from Seattle and it

was a music genre and it was kind of

it’s like rock but sometimes slower

almost emo kind of like sad usually

undertones but anyways the style that

came with it was the opposite of like

the 80s and early 90s of really bright

colors you know it was the opposite you

just wear holey jeans you don’t really

shower that much you don’t shave and

like plaid and just really like dreary

colors so that was really popular I at

least I remember in like the early

nineties yeah and it’s as soon as I saw

that card grunge as I got Nirvana that

was that’s the first thing that comes to

mind when I hear about when I hear

grunge I didn’t get into the grunge

scene though I was I was busy with boy

bands but like grunge for me was never

really I was aware I was aware of

Nirvana

but I did not I was not up the Nirvana

God okay I’m gonna go to a style point

then too because you’ve read up a style

point I’ll put up bring up maybe a

female style point scrunchies still

popular perhaps among some people what

is a scrunchie a scrunchie let’s see I

don’t have so there’s regular rubber

bands that you can use to tie back long

hair he’s making a no shirt with his

hands yes it’s a very descriptive very

descriptive no I’m the prop and then you

go like this you could take it take it

take it

there’s like that if there’s an awesome

video team somewhere in the world

somewhere that can put make this country

like right here anyway

yeah scrunchie it’s just it’s just a

piece of elastic with some kind of

colorful cloth wrapped around it and but

when not in use so you would go and it

would scrunch I think I think this is

why we call it a scrunchie but then when

you pull out it you could expand it a

bit and wrap your hair up in it and then

when you’re finished doing that it would

kind of close around it I had a couple

Nintendo anything any game related stuff

I remember gameboy is anything handheld

except when I was a kid it wasn’t like

this fancy 3d high you know highly like

vibrant colors it was like black and

white and like you’d play it in the car

and you had to squint and it hurts your

head you know if you’re playing too much

you’re getting like carsick and you’re

like you can barely see Mario that’s my

game boy game boy all right any like

there was handheld - there was like

Atari and stuff like that and like Sega

Sega was pretty good that would light up

I was thinking about NES when you said

Nintendo I imagined by any yes the one

that like when it wasn’t working

correctly you could just pull the

cassette on deck put it back in so you

put the cartridge in here right and

sometimes if it was really stubborn and

it didn’t work

you would blow into this part and you

try and it really doesn’t make a

difference but you would take turns like

me and my brothers would be like no you

want to be the one to get it to work so

you take turns hitting I don’t know let

me let me let me and just by luck you

would work you’re like see see ya know

this is super nostalgic I love Nintendo

I have a game two pogs do you have pod

ok pogs are either simultaneously the

most brilliant game in the stupidest

game ever invented

they’re just discs of cardboard about

this size and on one side there’s a

picture and on the other side there’s

just nothing and then you had a thing

called a slammer which was essentially

just a heavy POG that she would use and

you had to flip you had to use the

slammer to flip the plain cardboard ones

what I don’t even know it was that

stupid and forgettable of a game but it

was like crazy when I was about I don’t

know like 2nd or 3rd grade or something

everybody had pogs like we had pogcham

days at my school I remember thank you

America we’re really obese let’s go into

the gym and sit there and smash fogs and

like I was telling I was telling her

before we started this like one day like

my mom wanted me to get a haircut and I

was just being stubborn and I wasn’t

having it I was in the malls like I want

to get a haircut she’s like I’ll buy you

pogs and she did it was like this giant

tube of pogs and I was just so thrilled

and I agreed to get my haircut well that

was a lot of things that was that were

exciting and or popular and or we were

into in the 90s what were you into in

the 90s what was popular in your country

I really have no idea what was popular

around the world at that time maybe some

of these things are similar please let

us know in the comments I’m very

interested to find out we read these by

the way any thoughts any other any

closing thoughts about the 90s you’re

not gonna sing a song for us

oh that’s copyright we can’t do that

just like blare that all out no that was

that was very accurate so I’m sure we

can use that very accurate I mean

totally wrong clearly we’re very good at

talking about the 90s okay but we hope

that you are too we hope that you learn

something exciting about the 90s that’s

all for us today thanks very much for

watching and we will see you again soon

bye hi everybody my name is Alisha and I

am joined again in the studio by Michael

hello and today we’re going to be

talking about English conversation

strategies so let’s get right into it

let’s start with Michael what is your

first strategy for keeping an english

conversation going this is very

important don’t

say I’m fine thank you and you you hear

this all the time from second language

English learners or non-native speakers

you learn this it’s one of the first

things you learn in an English class

it’s easy it’s good it’s a basic its

foundation okay that’s fine but as soon

as you can switch it up because to me

when I meet a foreigner and they come up

and if they say hey how are you say oh

I’m fine you know I’m good whatever how

about you and they say I’m fine thank

you and you and it’s just it’s almost

robotic because I’ve said it so many

times and when I hear that I think their

English isn’t that good and inside I’m

just gonna be really polite and say

hello and talk slowly and try to get out

of there as quick as I can

so really impress the foreigner in my

opinion I think the best way to do it is

say something you know you use a big

word or just like a slang word something

like that when I hear that I go wow man

I want to know what this person thinks I

want to get their point of view and I’m

really excited and then I’ve had great

conversations because of that um yeah

that’s a really really good one actually

I think on this YouTube channel actually

from a couple years ago there’s a video

all about better answers to the question

how are you then I’m fine thank you and

you or if someone says hey how are you

I’m good you are fine you never I’m fine

thank you and you never but try to

actually use you know afraid that a

native speaker would use and then that’s

a clue to the native speaker that oh

maybe this person is ready for a

conversation beyond you know basic

English so that’s a really good point I

like that I didn’t think of things not

to do I only thought of things to do oh

okay cool um let’s see let’s go to my

first one oh so this strategy in general

is just ask the other person a question

I think and I’m guilty of this too when

I’m learning another language I tend to

only get input like somebody else is

always asking me the questions and then

I forget myself to ask the other person

a question so one question that I like

to ask or you know a variation any kind

of WH question is good like a food

question what where something like this

if you’ve been paying attention you can

use any way to transition in your

conversation this was in a previous

video

you can ask something like anyway up to

anything fun this weekend this is a

pretty casual conversational question

that you can ask just about anybody

whether you’ve just met them or whether

you’ve known them for a while but just

just get in the habit of asking other

people the question don’t wait for

someone else to ask you the question so

that that’s one strategy that I try to

use to keep things going yeah me too I

agree and I’m gonna say samesies because

actually two of my questions were

exactly what you said

agree 100% this is kind of cheating

these should be one but so always ask

questions so you know again you forget

it’s really easy I’m really guilty of

this English non English whatever I’m

guilty of this and the other thing is

ask deep open-ended questions so if you

ask a yes-or-no question so again like

Alicia was saying it just dead ends you

can’t just say you know do you like

cheese yes or no right so you want to

say what do you think about cheese what

is your favorite kind and kind of open

it up to something else and let it let

it just kind of snowball yeah I think I

think that’s that’s really a key like I

have another variation I wish I guess

I’ll just continue on to cuz it kind of

relates to what you’re talking about

like he’s saying always ask questions

always ask deep open-ended questions so

like you met you just said don’t ask a

yes-or-no question because yes or no

ends with the yes or the no so one of

the things that I’ll do is use a pattern

similar to this like hey did you see or

hey did you hear about blah blah blah so

you can use this little blah blah blah

as your you can ask about the news you

can ask about something funny you saw on

the internet you can ask about you know

some something that you heard from

another friend of yours whatever it’s

just a way to check in with the other

person and say oh did you also

experience this thing that I experienced

let’s talk about that so that might be

another question is you can use with

people I like that one I really like

that one because you got to stay within

people’s comfort zone so maybe you ask

and maybe they don’t want to write so a

good thing is did you hear about it

that’s up to them maybe they don’t want

to talk about it they can say oh yeah I

heard about that and you can kind of

feel the the atmosphere and and realize

maybe I shouldn’t talk about this change

the subject or they get passionate and

they start talking about it and there

you go and just let it go

yeah absolutely one thing again I’m

guilty of is is you do got to keep keep

returning it right don’t let it don’t

just say oh yeah and what I think about

that bring you back ask them what about

you that’s a common thing I forget about

yeah yeah yeah okay um good I have one

more this one um use when you see fits

don’t I guess just okay I’ll just

introduce it compliment the other person

or compliment the other person this can

be a nice strategy just to show that

you’re enjoying the other person’s

company it can be as simple as oh I like

your shirt today or oh that’s a nice

dress you’re wearing today or oh did you

get a new haircut that looks good on you

something like that so this is a nice a

nice way to make the other person maybe

you want to spend more time with you I

think yeah I agree 100%

two things one I think it’s a good

conversation starter sometimes if you’ve

got to be careful with the stranger it

can be creepy it can be a little

uncomfortable what you’re complimenting

right but if it’s something like if they

have a t-shirt and it’s a band that you

both like that’s a great conversation

starter and you feel wow we’re connected

you know number two the second thing I

was thinking about is that keep it

honest I love I love a sincere

compliment it really means a lot more

and it really does butter them up kind

of get them open to having more

conversations deeper that kind of thing

but one of the things people do which

which I don’t like is let’s say they say

hey nice shirt and then the person out

of habit will say oh you too I like your

shirt too just my opinion I don’t think

this feels really natural doesn’t really

feel sincere so I would I would save it

make a mental note and go hmmm I need to

return the favor I need to give them a

compliment but wait until you notice

something you really do like and say hey

actually I love blah blah blah yeah I

think that’s a great point like when you

you can sense whether someone is being

sincere or not what is your next energy

for continuing an English conversation

well don’t be afraid to open up I like

this one I think this is good a lot of

people will be kind of shy they won’t

open up too much again within within

your comfort zone but I like this one

because people will return the favor

because if you’re just having small talk

and you say you know the weather is nice

today blah blah blah you can only go so

far so don’t

be afraid to say something personal

again trust your judgment there’ll be a

creeper don’t go we don’t want to hear

certain things about your life don’t

don’t be a creep don’t be a creep don’t

be weird don’t be strange and like what

you’re saying about opening up open up

is just a phrase that means share

something about yourself so it can be as

simple as what you did last weekend or

what you’re going to do this weekend or

a project that you have coming up

it doesn’t mean that you have to spill

all of your life secrets to the other

person but just showing that you’re

willing to share something more personal

about yourself can help ingratiate

yourself or can help you know make the

other person help the other person

understand you a little bit better

that’s a good tip I like that tip that’s

hard to do though it’s hard it’s a

little bit scary I think to share parts

of yourself but it’s good it’s good way

to meet people and make friends all

right I think that’s all is that all

that you have yeah that’s all I got okay

all right well those are some

interesting strategies to keep an

english conversation going so give them

a try if you’re ever at a loss for words

and don’t know what to say you can try

one of these strategies and hopefully it

will help you out please let us know if

you have any other strategies or

anything else that you would like to use

or you try to use when you are having

trouble keeping a conversation going

leave us a comment and let us know what

it is we will see you again next time do

you have anything else you’d like to add

that’s about it

101.com hi everybody welcome back to top

words my name is Alisha and today we’re

going to be talking about 10 breakup

lines these are lines that you can use

when you want to end a romantic

relationship Wow let’s go I need my

space

I need my space I need my space so if

you feel the other person is maybe just

always with you always looking for time

or just bothering you whatever doesn’t

matter you don’t want to spend time with

that person anymore you can say I need

my space how do you want to go to the

movies with me this weekend it was so

much fun to see you yesterday and we can

do something tomorrow and then we can go

to the movies together too don’t you

think it’ll be great

actually I need my space I need to focus

on my career I need to focus on my

career ooh

so maybe you’re really really busy with

work or you’re just looking for an

excuse to break up with the person to

break up with someone you can say I’m

really sorry but right now I need to

focus on my career I think we need a

break I think we need a break this is

after you’ve been seeing someone for

some time and you decide that maybe

they’re not the right person for you you

can say I think we need a break be

careful though this phrase sounds like

there’s a chance you may get back

together in the future

if you don’t feel that there’s a chance

you’ll be continuing to see this person

maybe choose a different line to break

up with them I think we’re moving too

fast this is an expression you might use

towards the beginning of a relationship

maybe for example you meet someone and

then you start dating them and and then

a month later they’re like let’s move in

together and then three months later

it’s like oh let’s get married or

whatever the pace of the relationship

seems too fast you can say I think we’re

moving too

fast so if you say this phrase maybe it

doesn’t mean that you want to break up

but just this pace is too fast for me

let’s slow down I’m just not ready for

this kind of relationship I’m just not

ready for this kind of relationship this

could have many different meanings maybe

the relationship is very serious and

you’re not looking for a serious

relationship you can say I’m not ready

for this kind of relationship saying I’m

not ready sounds like it’s me it’s my

problem

I’m not ready for this kind of

relationship it’s not you it’s me it’s

not you it’s me there’s no problem with

you rather I have a problem maybe

they’re just struggling with some things

that they’re not mm-hmm

they don’t want to bring into a

relationship or maybe they’re just

trying to be polite maybe it is you

maybe it is you but the other person is

trying to be kind so you can say it’s

not you it’s me

let’s just be friends let’s just be

friends you’ve been in a relationship

with someone for a while and you decide

maybe it’s better if we don’t date each

other

but I still like this person so let’s

just be friends

We Need to Talk oh no we need to talk

the dreaded we need to talk if someone

says we need to talk in that tone we

need to talk or if you get like a text

message that says we need to talk it’s

never we need to talk I want to get a

puppy it’s never a happy thing if you

see if you hear We Need to Talk

it’s oh no something is bad in my

relationship and I’m about to hear about

it dun dun dun

so you can follow We Need to Talk with

an actual issue that you need to discuss

about your relationship or it can mean

the end of the relationship you want to

talk about ending the relationship we

should start seeing other people

the next breakup line is we should start

seeing other people

ouch means I don’t want to see you

anymore at one point about this when we

are in a relationship with someone there

are a couple of different verbs that we

use we use the verb seeing to see

someone and to date to go out with those

are a few so in this expression we see

we should start seeing other people so

it doesn’t mean

like like stand across the room no I see

another person I see you hey no it means

date it means be in a relationship with

we use the verb to see for that one of

the things that is said about this

phrase is that if someone uses the

phrase we should start seeing other

people there’s a good chance that person

is already seeing someone else

ouch Oh check you deserve better

the next phrase is you deserve better Oh

so if someone says to you you deserve

better I think we should end the

relationship you deserve better it means

that the person feels they are not good

enough they’re not enough for you

and so they think you should find

someone better than the person saying

the phrase again this could be a sincere

expression or it could just be a very

polite and kind way to end a

relationship with someone how are your

inside is apple fresh apple I hope large

feasts often have an apple pie for

dessert in a sentence my mom cooks an

apple pie every Thanksgiving

childhood feel about a chocolate chip

cookie in a sentence when I was a child

I made chocolate chip cookies with my

mom and my brother that’s true hamburger

the next food is probably the first food

you thought of when I said we were

talking about American foods today it is

pieces of bread and depending on your

preference you can put anything you like

on your hamburger many people like to

use cheese thereby making it a

cheeseburger you can use lettuce ketchup

tomato onion mustard relish whatever go

crazy bacon avocado anything really I

love trying new and interesting

hamburger combinations jellybeans

jellybeans this is an interesting

American food they’re colorful they

usually come in a package about this

size may be this big they are kind of a

squishy jelly like candy very very

sugary and they usually have some kind

of fruit flavor you can find the regular

jelly beans which are sweet and

delicious

or you can find jelly beans which are

maybe a mysterious mixture in a sentence

when I was a kid I loved eating jelly

beans

some degree so you can see they’re like

bins to scoop the candy out of there’s a

bin to like pour candy from this is

amazing American candy is just unreal

a weird big bird that we almost always

eat at Thanksgiving

sentence every year my family cooks a

turkey for Thanksgiving dinner Boston

baked beans the next food is Boston

baked beans this is something I haven’t

guessed it’s an East Coast style food

from Boston so Boston style baked beans

are typically sweetened with molasses or

to make a chili later today with Boston

baked beans grits this is a food that

comes from the southern part of America

just a ball of dough that is fried

that’s it a very very simple food very

very healthy surely know uh in a

sentence I haven’t had hush puppies yet

and I really want to try them but they

don’t seem very healthy so it’s not high

on my to-do list biscuits and gravy

okay great the next food is biscuits and

gravy it’s a very simple dish as you can

guess it’s just a biscuit and gravy the

gravy is usually very very rich very

very fatty very fattening this is a dish

that is typically eaten for breakfast

hi everybody and welcome back to top

words my name is Alisha and today we’re

going to be talking about ten words you

can use to talk about music so let’s go

concert the first word for talking about

music is concert concert is a live show

concert is yeah the performance is

happening in front of your eyes so

concerts are really popular worldwide I

think depending on where you live you

might hear them called live shows but

usually in American English we just say

concert a concert so in a sentence I’m

going to a concert this weekend to see

in concert the next expression is the

verb we use for a live show so the next

expression is to see in a concert or to

see in concert so we use the artists

name along with this phrase so for

example I’m going to see Coldplay in

concert I’m going to see Adele in

concert so you use I’m going to see

artist name in concert or in a concert

what are say in concert or in a concert

both are okay so in a different sentence

I’m going to see my favorite band in

concert meaning live who do I want to

see in concert I want to see Michael

Jackson in concert yeah I would have

loved to see him in concert he’s my

favorite to listen to music to listen to

artist the next word or the next phrase

is to listen to Plus music or to listen

to an artist so you can use this

verb with the type of music or with the

specific artist or band or group that

you like so I like to listen to rock

music I like to listen to pop music

whatever another sentence is I like

listening to Beyonce I like yes so you

can use to listen to or listening to

both are fine here I like listening to

funk it’s fine I like listening to funky

artists is fine I like listening to

Queens of the Stone Age it’s fine all of

these are great who do you listen to I

listen to to write a song to write music

the next expression is to write a song

or to write music so if you want to make

music yourself you can say write a song

which just means one song maybe three or

four minutes usually in popular music or

to write music in general so you can use

both of these expressions song is more

specific music is more general so in a

sentence my friend started writing songs

recently or in a different sentence

writing music is really fun track the

next expression is track track so we can

use song yes but for example when you

look at an album like on iTunes or maybe

like a CD for example each each song is

assigned a number that’s the track

number so we can say I like track number

3 or track 3 we use track to talk about

a song so you can say this is a good

song or this is a good track both are ok

to use song and track are both fine so

in a sentence I really like that track

from his album beat the next word is

beat so the beat is sort of the feeling

of a song that usually it’s easy to hear

because there’s like a bass drum or

there’s some kind of heavy feeling it

gives you the sense of rhythm of a song

so in a sentence we would say like song

should have a catchy beat or that that

that song has a really catchy beat or I

like the beat

of that song tempo so tempo the next

word is tempo tempo means the pace of a

song how fast or how slow a song goes so

you can have songs with a fast tempo or

with a slow tempo or somewhere in

between so you can change the tempo of a

song and maybe change the feeling in a

sentence tracks with a slow tempo are

nice on quiet evenings

upbeat the next word is upbeat so this

word uses beat which we talked about

before but upbeat this is an adjective

that we use for something maybe it’s a

faster tempo song maybe it sounds kind

of positive or a cheerful a little bit

happy so an upbeat track or an upbeat

song sounds maybe it has it has a good

positive feeling about it or a good

positive vibe something like that so in

a sentence this song is really upbeat

upbeat we can use upbeat for people to

like my best friend is really a beat

something positive or happy down tempo

next we’ll go to maybe the opposite of

upbeat the next word is down tempo tempo

means pace and down meaning like

decreased or slower so a down tempo song

has a slow tempo it’s more relaxed yeah

maybe it’s good for just kind of hanging

out or it’s a little bit slow or maybe

you hear this at a restaurant or a cafe

perhaps a down tempo song so in a

sentence I like down tempo music genre

the next word is a great pronunciation

point for many students its genre genre

so not John do or Gen ray I don’t know

but genre is the correct pronunciation

of this word genre means the type of

music you can use genre to talk about

movies as well books too

but it means the type of something so

type of maybe art you could consider or

type of creativity so genre into in

music is for example rock pop funk house

old is

go heavy-metal classical country rap

hip-hop lose all these are genres of

music so there types of music you can

say what type of music do you like or

what genre of music do you listen to so

in a sentence I listen to lots of

different genres of music hi everybody

and welcome back to top words my name is

Alisha and today we’re going to talk

about 10 words for talking about sleep

let’s go to wake up the first word is to

wake up to wake up is to open your eyes

probably in your bed or the place where

you are sleeping to wake up is to to

become conscious to become awake every

day you wake up presumably hopefully in

a sentence I woke up three times last

night to get up to get out of bed

alright the next word is to get up or to

get out of bed so that means to

physically move your body from your bed

out of bed to stand up from your bed to

get out of your bed we say to get up or

to get out of bed in a sentence I got up

at 8 o’clock this morning to snooze the

next word is to snooze so we have to

snooze and alarm and also to snooze so

to snooze means to take a short sleep to

have a short sleeping time or to snooze

and alarm is when your alarm goes off in

the morning you have a button most alarm

clocks have some button you can press so

the alarm will turn on again in like you

know five or ten minutes or something so

to snooze an alarm is to like to ask

your alarm to wake you up again a few

minutes later that’s to snooze so we

have to snooze an alarm and to snooze

meaning like a short light sleep in a

sentence

I always snooze my alarm at least once

that is usually true to oversleep the

next word is to oversleep to

oversleep means to sleep too much or to

sleep late actually no it doesn’t mean

to sleep late to sleep late means just

to sleep until a late time in the day

oversleep means sleeping beyond the time

you wanted to get up so for example if

my alarm is set for 8 o’clock but I wake

up at 9 o’clock I overslept

I slept beyond my wake-up time so we can

use oversleep to talk about times when

you sleep too much you sleep more than

your body needs you to so maybe your

body needs depending on the person like

six to nine hours or so but if you sleep

like 14 hours we can say that’s over

sleeping you’re sleeping too much hmm

that’s the nuance here in a sentence I

overslept on my first day of work

nap the next word is nap nap is a short

sleep so a nap is maybe thirty minutes

one hour just a short sleep a short rest

so a lot of people will take a nap in

the afternoon for example or maybe

children actually take naps for example

in preschool or when they’re very very

young they have a an afternoon nap a

short sleep like hmm yeah just a like an

hour or so I imagine in a sentence I

love naps actually I do like naps I

don’t like naps because when I take a

nap

it becomes asleep it’s always like I

wake up four hours later and I’m like

okay well I’ve destroyed my sleep

schedule dream the next word is dream

dreams so dreams are those those visions

those images you see those experiences

it seems like you have when you are

asleep in a sentence I always have weird

dreams nightmare so the next word is

nightmare nightmare is a word which

means bad dream or scary dream negative

dream so children maybe have nightmares

a lot they wake up crying or they’re

really upset by nightmares monsters

terrifying things

opening and so on in a sentence do you

ever have nightmares to go to bed the

next word is to go to bed so before we

talked about to get up or to get out of

bed this is the opposite to go to bed

means to get in your bed to to try to go

to sleep to go to bed in a sentence I

usually go to bed fairly late to hit the

hay to hit the sack the next expression

is kind of ass I don’t know a slang

expression we have to hit the hay and to

hit the sack these both mean to go to

bed they both mean to try to fall asleep

but we just use them in more casual

situations the image here of hit the hay

is with your body hitting hay like

laying down in hay I believe

historically because hay was used to

stuff things that people slept on so

that’s why we have this expression to

hit the hay with your body

same thing for to hit the sack so a sack

full of something soft to sleep on is

where this expression comes from in a

sentence I think I’m gonna hit the hay

to fall asleep the next expression it is

to fall asleep to fall asleep you’re in

bed and you finally you lose

consciousness you you stop being aware

you are asleep in that moment we say you

fall asleep in a sentence it takes me a

long time to fall asleep all right hi

class 101 calm in this video we’ll be

talking about 10 phrases to help you in

an emergency let’s begin help use this

phrase when you need help or when you

want someone to rescue you in case of an

emergency dial 911 in the united states

the phone number you can dial in case of

an emergency is 9-1-1

also dialed 9-1-1 the number is the same

for calling the police it’s easy to

remember call the police please use this

phrase when you need someone to call the

police

please state the nature of your

emergency this is what the 9-1-1 call

center or an officer will say to ask for

more details about your emergency I need

a doctor use this phrase when you are

not feeling very well and want to get

medical help I need an ambulance use

this phrase when you need an ambulance

to come and take you to the hospital

there’s a fire this is a very simple way

to catch people’s attention in case of a

fire after saying this you need to

explain what happened and where the fire

is I want to report a crime use this

phrase when you want to report a crime

that has happened to you or someone else

my location is when you call for help

through the phone you’ll need to say

where you are start your explanation

with this phrase hi everyone it’s

Christine welcome back to another

episode of top words today we’ll be

talking about 10 reasons to start

learning a language let’s go it’s a

beautiful language every language has

specific characteristics and some people

like the way certain languages sound

some languages might sound better to you

than others my family comes from a place

where the language is spoken for many

people their cultural heritage is very

important to them if your family speaks

another language you might not be able

to talk to some of your relatives or

fully understand your background so many

people try to learn the language of the

place they’ve descended from I love the

culture and the people who speak the

language

if you’re really interested in a

specific country and its culture this

can be a great reason to learn a

language that’s also shown that being

interested in a culture motivates

language learners to work harder and get

better results I just love learning

languages some people learn because they

have to and some people just learned

because they find it interesting

learning a language takes time and

effort and some people love the

challenge the language is useful for my

job gaining new skills is important for

many professionals being able to speak

another language can potentially help

your business make more money and maybe

even get you a promotion I live in a

country that speaks the language living

in a country and not being able to speak

the language can be hard learning the

language of the place you live can help

you make friends get a job and have an

easier life I want to open my mind and

become more international for many

people feeling connected to other

cultures and broadening their horizons

is especially important learning a new

language can change how you interact

with the world I want to understand my

favorite songs movies and TV shows if

you’re really into a culture learning

that cultures language can help you

enjoy even more learning a new language

can add depth to your appreciation of a

culture I love traveling people who have

been bitten by the travel bug but

traveling to a place where you don’t

know the language can be hard for

example if you can speak Spanish there

are so many different countries you can

visit it’s part of my university studies

most universities require you to take

language class for a few semesters to

graduate but it doesn’t have to feel

like work learning a language for

university can open great opportunities

in the future vamos hi everybody welcome

back to top words my name is Alisha and

today we’re gonna be talking about ten

gamers speak words I am excited about

this one

let’s go first word is achievement

achievement is used when you have

completed a mission in some games

there’s a very famous phrase that says

like achievement unlocked good feeling

beta beta it

for something that’s not quite finished

but that’s maybe in like a testing phase

you could hear like the beta release of

something or like the beta test version

of blah blah blah for example I am beta

testing a running game right now that is

true

next is boss if you ever played a video

game probably you know about a boss

battle you’ve been playing through a

level and at the end of that level

there’s a boss that you have to fight

it’s kind of interesting now thinking

about it how we use boss for the main

challenger that you have to defeat in a

video game level but we also use it for

like our managers at work so the next

word is role-playing game role-playing

game is commonly abbreviated commonly

shortened to RPG this is a very popular

style of game a role-playing game

meaning you play a role role-playing

games have evolved over years now you

can play for example MMORPGs massively

multiplayer online role-playing games I

have been playing role-playing games

since I was like 11 and my brother

convinced me to play Final Fantasy 7 the

next word is checkpoint you might also

hear save point you save your game and

then you continue on in the game and

then if you die you go back and you

respawn you come back to life from that

checkpoint

I feel like checkpoint is used more in

like a racing game but save point is

used more in an RPG the next one is noob

and oob I love the word noob I mostly to

talk about myself actually when I’ve

made like a really stupid decision noob

means rookie it means someone who is

inexperienced at something you can use

noob in a game if you find someone who

has just joined the game they’re a brand

new player there are a noob they don’t

know anything

farming let’s talk about farming in

gaming terms it means you are trying to

collect a certain item it has like kind

of a reputation for being a bit boring

because you’re just killing like the

same creature over and over again NPC

NPC means non playable character there

are other characters within the game

that move the story forward but that you

cannot play as you cannot become that

character but you interact with them I

have to talk to an end piece

in order to move this quest forward next

is camper a camper is someone who is

waiting for a creature to spawn so a

person who’s waiting for the monster to

appear is called a camper you can use

camping as a verb too to talk about that

like I’m camping this monster really

people camp other players

I suppose so depending on the kind of

game you’re playing MMO is a massively

multiplayer online game means you can

play online with a lot of different

people essentially want to speak real

English class 101.com learning to carry

a conversation is vital to mastery of

any language even beginners can quickly

learn conversational language well

enough to carry on real conversations

with native speakers of course beginners

won’t be able to carry a conversation

the same way they could in their native

language but just knowing a few tips

like which questions to ask to keep a

conversation going are all you need to

speak and interact with real native

speakers before we get to specific

suggestions let’s first take a closer

look at how having real conversations in

your target language is so vital to your

mastery of the language communicating

with other people is the very point of

language and conversation comes easily

in our native tongue for beginners or

anyone learning a new language

conversations aren’t easy at all and

even simple greetings can be

intimidating and awkward nothing kills a

conversation faster than long periods of

awkward silence so you need practice and

specific strategies to avoid them when

you know what to say to keep a

conversation going

communication becomes much easier and

you make a better impression on your

listener nothing will help you learn to

speak a language faster and truly master

the language than having real

conversations with native speakers

conversations quickly expose you to

slang cultural expressions and

vocabulary that force you to absorb and

assimilate information faster than any

educational setting and that’s a great

thing

but how can you possibly have real

conversations with real people if you’re

just starting out here are three proven

methods that even beginners can quickly

use to learn conversational language to

make a great impression and avoid

awkward silences first ask questions to

keep a conversation going for beginners

and even more advanced speakers the key

is to ask questions to keep a

conversation going of course they can’t

be just random questions or else you may

confuse the listener but by memorizing a

few key questions and the appropriate

time to use them you can easily carry a

conversation with minimal vocabulary or

experience and remember the more

conversations you have the quicker you

will learn and master the language

second learn core vocabulary terms as

quickly as possible you don’t need to

memorize thousands of words to learn

conversational language in fact with

just a couple hundred words you could

have a very basic conversation and by

learning maybe 1,000 to 2,000 words you

could carry a conversation with a native

speaker about current events order in

restaurants and even get directions to

help you get started with this check out

our 2,000 common words also known as our

core list these 2,000 words are all you

need to learn to speak fluently and

carry a conversation with a native

speaker third study video or audio

lessons that you can play and replay

again and again if you want to know how

to carry on a conversation then you need

exposure to native speakers and the more

the better

studying video or audio lessons is ideal

because they provide contextualized

learning in your native language and you

can play them again and again until you

achieve mastery our instructors have

created more than 2,500 video and audio

lessons that you can play over and over

and the best part is they don’t just

teach you vocabulary and grammar they

are designed to help you learn to speak

and teach you practical everyday topics

like shopping ordering and more although

it may seem intimidating for a beginner

the truth is that it’s very easy to

learn conversational language just learn

a few core vocabulary terms in which

questions to ask to keep a conversation

going

our language learning program has the

world’s largest online collection of

video and audio lessons by real

instructors plus tons of advanced tools

hi everybody my name is Alisha and today

we’re gonna be talking about ten of the

hardest words to pronounce according to

you guys so we collected some

information from you on Facebook thanks

very much for sending in your ideas and

these were the top ten most difficult

words for you to pronounce so let’s get

started absolutely absolutely absolutely

it might be tough to pronounce

absolutely means 100% absolutely is an

agreement phrase are you going to that

music event next week absolutely yes

100% definitely absolutely loot like a

loot Lu te big rhyme the crime

apparently means dirty I’ve never heard

nor used this word before but perhaps

it’s difficult to pronounce big rhyme

the door to my apartment was big rhymed

in the storm last week breakfast the

next word is breakfast breakfast is hard

to pronounce but that is the meaning of

breakfast you’re breaking the fast so

fast is a period of time without eating

and to break means to just well in this

case breaking something is doesn’t

four it’s like crushing a thing but

stopping something to break the fast of

the night in other words so you’re

fasting during the night you’re not

eating so you wake up in the morning you

break the fast but we don’t say break

fast we say breakfast in a sentence this

morning from breakfast I ate a bowl of

cereal with grapes and I had a coffee

too

colleague colleague yes colleague many

of my students struggle with this they

say colleague or they say colleague you

or something cuz the spelling of this

word is really really strange there’s

that gue at the end and we’re more

commonly I feel it’s just co-worker

colleague sounds slightly more formal to

me than co-worker somebody who you work

with or somebody who you have a business

relationship with in some sense could be

a person from another company could be

somebody from your own company anyone

who you do business dealings with is

your colleague can be your colleague in

a sentence I’m going to a networking

event with my colleagues next week

miscellaneous that mis see miscellaneous

so just as the spelling I think maybe

it’s confusing for this word

miscellaneous miscellaneous just means

other stuff or just other uncatted

Erised stuff I keep a lot of

miscellaneous items in a drawer in my

house maybe they don’t they don’t really

fit into one category like it’s not

kitchen things it’s not clothing it’s

just sort of a mixture of things

miscellaneous things negotiation the

next word is negotiation negotiation

yeah there are two T’s in this but

neither T is a hard T they’re both very

soft at shish sound because they’re

followed by the eye and another vowel

that she a negotiation negotiation

refers to a compromise between two

people you’re trying to make a decision

and you negotiate in this case that’s a

noun form negotiation business

negotiations continued for more than a

month with this important deal realm

realm I see why this one’s hard it’s

that role part that realm it’s a weird

word isn’t it it’s used to talk about

just like the kind of a fantasy world is

sort of the nuance of this phrase the

realm in a sentence lets us go to the

realm where the elves live and eat their

bread unfortunately

the next word is unfortunately

unfortunately unfortunately just means

too bad you can use this to to start bad

news for example like unfortunately I

can’t come to work today because I’m

sick or unfortunately I broke my arm at

the basketball game last week or

unfortunately my haircut is bad

vocabu-larry vocabu-larry vocabu-larry

vocabu-larry vocabu-larry vocabu-larry

just refers to the words in a language

my vocabulary in my second language is

really really low I need a bigger

vocabulary so that I can express myself

more clearly world world oh I see why

this one’s hard world world hard to

pronounce that rld I think together is

tough Plus that W at the beginning as

well it’s such a short word but you have

to say so many weird things at the same

time world your tongue is going like

this in a sentence I have traveled all

over the world and the best food is in

my stomach that’s in so those were 10

hard to pronounce words give them a try

slowly at first and just kind of try to

work up to him saying it a more natural

about office supplies

what will the man order every month you

need to check our office supplies and

order any items that are running low

this time

let’s take a look at them together

here’s the checklist okay that sounds

good

well starting with the paper it looks

like there’s only one box left we use

lots of paper every day so let’s order

two more boxes okay the printer is out

of color ink should we order that we

don’t really print documents in color so

we don’t need to worry about that hmm

okay

looks like these whiteboard markers are

running out of ink right those need to

be replaced we get a discount if we

order them in sets of five so let’s do

that okay and while we’re at it can we

order a mouse sometimes it works but

sometimes it doesn’t that’s probably

because it’s running out of batteries

let’s check the stock of batteries and

order more if we don’t have many left

sure well we have three batteries here

you can take two of these for your mouse

but buy a six pack of batteries to

replace them

for directions to the airport at an

information center

how is she going to get to the airport

[Music]

excuse me I need to go to the airport

would you tell me how to get there

sure there are a few ways if you take

bus number one it takes about one and a

half hours to the airport it’s the least

expensive way bus number two is a

non-stop bus it’s more expensive and

leaves once every hour but it only takes

fifty minutes I see what about taxis

there’s a taxi stand in front of the

building and they take about an hour but

they use the expressway and charge extra

for a lot of luggage so it’s going to be

a lot more expensive than the bus I

guess that makes sense and I’d like to

avoid paying too much you didn’t by

chance buy anything at shopping world

while you were here they offer

complimentary shuttle service to the

airport for customers who make a

purchase there Wow I didn’t know that I

haven’t bought anything yet but I was
