REAL LIFE ENGLISH Speak English Like A Native Speaker Episode 1

hey you want to speak english like a

native english speaker right

you want to sound natural you really

want to speak english fluently

well in order to do that you must use

the words and expressions that we

actually use

in real life and that’s exactly why i

created this series

for you real life english now i’m going

to teach you words and expressions that

we really use

are you ready well then i’m teacher

tiffany

let’s jump right in so we’re going to

look at our first

situation a group of young ladies and

we’re going to see

how i as a native english speaker

would describe this situation

now looking at this situation i first

see

these two young ladies in front and i

would say wow

dependable now i want you to watch me

really quickly

after me dependable

excellent one more time after me

dependable

good job now again when i see these two

young women i think of dependable

but what does the word dependable

actually mean

so dependable means trustworthy

reliable and capable of being trusted or

depended on so when i look at those two

young women

i see one is leaning on the other i

think man

she really trusts her she really can

rely on her and maybe in your life

there is someone that you truly rely on

someone that’s always there for you

you can say my friend my mother my

father my sister my brother

wow they’re really dependable

makes sense right now let’s look at an

example sentence right here

repeat after me her boss said

that she was a very dependable

assistant your turn

excellent now we’re seeing in this

sentence how to use

dependable to describe someone

now i do want to remind you really

quickly that this word can be used

all the time not just in a business

environment you can also use it when

speaking to your friends

and in other environments so one more

time after me

dependable excellent all right now let’s

go to our next word

looking at this picture i would next

notice this

young lady right here beautiful smile

and i would say

exuberant exuberant

now after me this was a little tricky

after me

exuberant good last time after me

exuberant good job

now what does the word exuberant mean

this is a word again that popped in my

head when i first saw the situation

exuberant means

joyously unrestrained and enthusiastic

many people tell me a lot teacher

tiffany you’re so enthusiastic

well now you can say teacher you are

such an

exuberant individual makes sense right

now think about someone around you

someone who is

enthusiastic always full of joy someone

that makes

you smile that person is an exuberant

individual now let me show you an

example sentence how to actually use

this word

in real life here we go after me

he has such an exuberant

personality good job

you can use it like this an exuberant

personality now keep paying attention

because we do have a quiz

coming up soon alright so again we

learned

the first one dependable the second one

exuberant

looking at this picture now then my eyes

naturally would go to the top

the top left and i see this young lady

and she

looks reserved

one more time after me reserved

and maybe you’re thinking wow teacher

what does that word mean

why did that word pop up in your head

teacher tiffany

well after me one more time re-served

excellent very good now again if you

need practice and help with your

pronunciation

you can always download my app english

with tiffany the link is right in the

description

there’s a pronunciation course and a

conversation course within the app so

you can download it and get help with

your pronunciation right now

but again this word reserved is very

important

reserved means restrained

in words and actions now i am

not a reserved person i’m very outgoing

i like talking to people but

a reserved person kind of holds back a

little bit

they don’t talk as much to other people

they just kind of are a little quieter

around bigger groups of people just like

in the picture you can tell that the

woman seems

a little bit shy a little bit

reserved maybe someone you know is

reserved one of my closest friends

she is very reserved when we get in big

groups

she kind of gets quiet and just kind of

sits in the background

she is reserved so how would you use

this in a sentence here we go

you can use it like this and repeat

after me my friend is more reserved than

i

am but she loves being around

people makes sense all right repeat

after me again

my friend is more reserved than i am

but she loves being around people

your turn ah

good job excellent job alright so now

you understand

what the word reserved means now i do

want to give you this tip really quickly

this word can be used for people

and for animals maybe you have a pet

maybe you have a dog or a cat and your

dog or cat

loves you but when other people come

around the dog kind of goes in the

background

very shy doesn’t like talking to other

people doesn’t like playing with other

people

you can say ah my dog is a little bit

reserved

makes sense right okay good so now we

have three words we had dependable

exuberant and reserved now when i go

back

and look at this image the next thing i

notice are these other

these other two women right here i

notice these women and i say you know

what

ride or die huh

ride or die why would you say that

teacher don’t you worry i’m going to

explain

now this is actually a slang term so

after me

ride or die good job

now ride or die this actually is

something that you should know

it means to be extreme uh extremely

loyal

so it refers to extreme loyalty to

someone or something

when you are willing to do anything for

someone you love

or someone you really appreciate

in your life you can say

that’s my ride or die you see how i kind

of changed even the way i said it it’s

slang right

so we say my ride or die this person

is so loyal to me they’ll do anything

for me we say

ride or die in english now let me show

you an example sentence that will help

you use this word in real life

here we go my best friend will always

be my ride or die your turn

good job now maybe you have the same

thing you have a best friend that really

is your ride or die my best friend

is my ride or die make sense alright

good job

now when i go back and i look at the

image i see

something else i go back and i look at

these ladies and i notice

within the first two ladies the other

lady on the right

something about her expression she looks

self-assured

again after me self-assured

good last time after me self-assured

great job now self-assured this is when

someone is super confident so this

is an expression this combination of two

words it means

confident in one’s own abilities or

character

and when i looked at that picture and i

saw that woman

she just looked confident

she looked like she could conquer the

world

so the first thing that popped in my

head literally was

self-assured so again now you know the

word

or the expression you can use in this

situation but let’s check

an example sentence here we go after me

the new employees could tell that their

boss was a very

self-assured and confident leader

your turn

good job excellent self-assured

extremely confident so again you can use

this

self-assured in place of confidence if

you’d like

makes sense right now remember i told

you that a quiz is coming

but i want to give you this quick tip

this can be used

self-assured can be used to complement

or insult someone so you must be careful

how you use it okay you can say you’re

too

self-assured that’s kind of an insult

but if you say i love my boss

she’s so self-assured that’s a

compliment so it all depends on the way

that you actually say it makes sense all

right so again

great you’ve learned dependable

exuberant

reserved ride or die and self-assured

so now you know what time it is it’s

time

someone i can rely on

very good so again you learned the words

and you got the quiz questions right

now i do want to quickly give you some

patterns to use

for example dependable you can use this

pattern to make your own sentence

the pattern is the name is the most

dependable person

i know because and then you give the

reason

so let me show you what that would look

like again you can use this pattern if

you want to see this written down just

go to the website

speak englishmativity.com and you’ll see

this post for this youtube video

and you can copy down the notes here’s

what this would look like using the

pattern

mark the name is the most dependable

person

i know because he is always there when

i need him okay makes sense right use

the pattern to actually

make the sentence all right let’s keep

going here we go

next one is exuberant exuberant now with

exuberant

here’s the sentence pattern the

exuberant

person and then a description of the

person

and then an action connected to their

exuberance now i’m going to show you how

to do this all right

it’s the pattern but here’s an example

the exuberant woman that’s the person

with the long hair that’s a description

and what’s the action

enjoys making other people laugh

so using the pattern you’re able to

make a sentence properly in english and

use the word

all right what about reserve we learned

reserved

here’s the pattern person was very

reserved

so person didn’t and then the

action connected to being reserved so

what does this look like

here’s the example sentence using this

pattern

her brother was very reserved

so he person didn’t

speak to anyone at the event so we’re

using the pattern

and making a sentence for the word

reserved

all right now what about ride or die you

know i like that one talking about

someone who’s always be there for you

here’s the pattern

person has been my ride or die since

and then the time period so what about

my best friend

let me show you how i would use this

pattern she

has been my ride or die since we were in

the fourth

grade and that’s true actually she’s

been my ride or die

since we were in the fourth grade person

she her name is wilma

and then time period since we were in

the fourth

grade now last one what about

self-assured

now self-assured here’s the pattern a

self-assured person

usually now change the parentheses

action connected to being self-assured

so here’s what you can say for this one

i said a self-assured person usually

speaks well in front of a crowd of

people so i used the pattern and made a

perfect

english sentence and you can do the same

so again you learned quite a few words

today

real words you learned real life english

that will help you sound

like a native english speaker now i hope

you enjoyed

today’s lesson i hope that you

use the words and expressions

and start sounding like a native english

the link is right in the description

i hope you have an awesome day and an

awesome week and i’ll catch you

next time

you still there ha ha you know what time

it is

it’s story time

eight i said a story time

all right so today i want to tell you a

story about

my ride or die my best friend

so i have to be very careful with the

names that i use in this story just

in case they watch this video later so

this was when i was in college now i had

dated a guy

all through high school at the beginning

of high school and

we also kind of hooked up a little bit

through throughout college

but we weren’t together at the time of

this story

so my best friend and i we were going to

another friend’s

event and this guy just happened to also

be at the event so myself you know i was

going in my ride or die my best friend

was coming with me

so we were at the event and we were

actually sitting at a table about to eat

lunch and she and i were sitting there

talking and the guy

the one i used to date sat right in

front of us

so it was my friend and i sitting next

to each other and then the guy

sat in front of us now we didn’t have a

bad breakup but it was still a little

bit awkward between us

so he sat down and he started talking

now of course he was looking at me

he he knew my best friend um but he was

talking to me

and my best friend could tell that i

wasn’t necessarily comfortable

i wasn’t nervous it was more of why

why are we talking like we’re not

together and you know you’re with

somebody else i’m not

i’m confused why he’s sitting here that

was going on in my mind

and my best friend picked it up so he’s

sitting there talking to me and the

conversation kind of dwindles and kind

of stops a little bit and he’s just

sitting there looking at me

so my best friend let me tell you

something about her yes she’s my ride or

die but she’s also a very

reserved person like we learned she’s a

little bit shy

and she’s not really the person you’ll

see make the first step or make the

first introduction

she’s kind of shy so i was sitting there

and the guy was looking at me and i was

looking at him and it was getting a

little bit awkward

and my best friend who was reserved said

why are you still sitting here and she

was talking to him it caught me off

guard

and he looked at her she said if you’re

done it’s okay to walk away

now the thing is she’s a very reserved

person she doesn’t normally do things

like that

so i looked at her because it caught me

off guard and then i looked at him

and he looked at her and then he looked

back at me and i just shrugged my

shoulders because

i didn’t know what to say she said it’s

okay for you to walk away it’s okay if

the conversation is done

and he did walk away now don’t get me

wrong we’re all still

friends like this happened a long time

ago but

in that moment i realized my best friend

may be reserved but when she needs to

talk

when she needs to speak up she will

let’s just say he never started an

awkward conversation with me again when

she was around now since that time we’ve

had many conversations we’ve talked a

lot on the phone and everything he and i

but i will never forget that situation

because my friend

the reserved person that i thought would

never speak up in certain situations

actually spoke up to stand up for me in

that situation so

maybe you have a friend like that too

your writer died that

maybe he or she is reserved or seems

like they want to be in the background

but

when it’s time they speak up and stand

up for you so

it was a shorter story today but

something that i will never

ever forget all right guys i hope you

enjoyed today’s lesson

i hope you learned a lot and i hope you

continue to study english

i will see you next week
