accents these are different American

accents that you will hear in TV in

movies and if you visit the USA perhaps

in different regions as well so we’re

gonna share and try our best to share

what these accents might sound like but

forgive us in advance if it’s not

perfect anyway let’s begin you want to

start us off alright sure well guess

I’ll go in alphabetical order and my

first one is Boston alright a nice

Boston accent is a sort of classic

strong American accent and they’re

really famous the famous thing that boss

the Boston accent does is it drops the

Rohtak are that are that follows a vowel

so the classic example is if you have a

car you park your car and Harvard Yard

but you don’t say it that way so your

pocket car and have it Yad that’s the

that’s the classic Boston example and

that’s probably all I can do of that oh

I’ve got another one that my mom used to

use for the boston accent er has the

same thing what’s your which was let’s

go up to 33rd and 3rd Street and listen

to the boys chew it that that are sound

it totally it’s totally different from

the way that we’re speaking now yes so

it’s hard I think if you’re not

expecting that

no it’s shocking actually it’s

interesting because I think a lot of

accents in the US and a lot of places

are often regional right therefore a

whole region and sometimes they’re very

specific specific to a city and I think

Boston is that case it’s very specific

to very kind of small location mmm is

this this city in the Northeast yeah you

I think you do see that in movies

actually a lot definitely yes for sure

it’s interesting to me the way that

different accents are associated with

different like stereotypes of people

mm-hmm in movies things like that so in

movies or on television often times that

Boston accent is associated with a kind

of like tough no-nonsense

yeah and I’m sure there are tough

no-nonsense people in Boston I’m sure

there are people that are not so tough

and tolerate a lot of nonsense that is

probably true true anywhere what do you

have for us all right I I’m gonna choose

I’m gonna start where I was born and a

place that I love to make fun of all the

time the Californian accent I say the

Californian accent but there’s not just

one so there may be my favorite accent

to make fun of is what’s called the

valley girl accent the valley girl

accent is known for making all

statements sound like a question and

having a very whiny manner of speech

there’s also this sort of weird thing

that seems to be not specific but very

common in speech among young women

particularly from California and that’s

something called vocal fry' mm-hmm

where women will like drop the pitch of

their voice in order to well just kind

of create a different manner of speech

there are a variety of reasons why

people do that and I didn’t actually

know but I do it I just grew up talking

that way though I never occurred to me I

should use this kind of speech in a

certain like situation or just I just

grew up speaking that way but in recent

years vocal fry' has been the subject of

discussion and some things I’ve read but

anyway so a typical California Valley

girl if I can give an example as like

today I was going to work yeah and I saw

this guy and he was like really really

scary and I didn’t know what to do so

this very like whiny way of sharing

stories and explaining things in not and

actually in that series of example

questions or sorry in that series of

statements nothing I said was a question

but everything had that upward

intonation so those are a few things

that are kind of characteristic sort of

characteristics among women

this way but men on the other hand

there’s this image of the surfer dude

from California and it’s typically like

young men who speak this way and they’ll

be like yeah bro what’s up like let’s

head to the beach sort of thing this

very how would you describe that it’s

like it’s it’s like if you could imagine

your voice being relaxed and yet rough

at the same time sure that’s kind of

what it sounds like do you ever like to

make fun of Californians in the way they

speak it’s my favorite accent to make

fun of well I don’t like to make fun of

accents as a rule Alicia no no I do well

I should say to mimic two minutes fun

it’s my favorite accent to mimic is a

fun accent to mimic and maybe this I

think this accent as as well has certain

associations with it maybe a lot of

people might associate stupidity or

dumbness with a Californian accent which

is unfortunate because that’s not always

the case

there are there are dumb people from

everywhere not only California but this

is an accent that often associate that

with right is unfortunate right that’s

true because of the manner of delivery

and also like apparent like right now

this is vocal fry' I’m not even thinking

about it but like dropping your voice

into a lower register but apparently

people associate that with stupidity

like that people are specifically young

women are trying to alter their voice to

see more intelligent or something like

that right I don’t even think about it

honestly so it is quite interesting but

California has a range of accents

arranged in different ways of talking so

that’s just one there you go anyway back

to your side of the table absolutely

we’re still in alphabetical order which

I like and I am going to do a Chicago

accent now for you

Chicago accent very kind of

stereotypical Midwestern accent I think

there is a wider kind of Midwestern

accent and Chicago accent is maybe a

subset of that it’s not just like the

wider Midwestern accent but there’s a

Chicago accent - I don’t know this

accent super well but I chose this one

because

it’s an accent that I used to see and

one of my favorite Saturday Saturday

Night Live sketches when I was a kid

which were the the Bears fans mmm

the Bears they’re from Chicago and they

loved the Chicago Bears and that’s

that’s the accent so kind of just draws

out what does it do

Chicago draws out a lot of vowel sounds

a lot of Midwestern accent draws out

vowel sounds and makes them a little

higher on your palate I guess there’s

the bears bears yeah and so bears so

it’s a little more like open and back

and up with the vowels mm-hmm mm-hmm I

could not do a Chicago accent to save my

life

Chicago tag oh there you go it’s hard

it’s really hard

yeah it’s a nice accent I like it the

Chicago accent has associations with

like a working-class accent mm-hmm

but maybe that’s just right I don’t know

right yeah that’s a good one

I couldn’t I don’t think I could do it I

don’t want to try saying much more than

Chicago

because that’s just sort of what I would

have tracked right it’s tough thank you

okay come on okay

although north of that then so the next

one that I prepared is I called it

Minnesota so Minnesota is a state that

is north of Chicago Chicago is in

Illinois the state of Illinois so this

is sort of the same region but this is

further north so you’re heading towards

Canada so there are a couple of places

like we talked about Wisconsin is

another state that might have a similar

accent here but Minnesota similar to

Chicago has this very drawn-out vowel

sounds and it’s okay I guess I’ll just

try and let’s let’s see one thing that

we all know how to say is like oh yeah

sure you yes sure you bet oh sure

oh sure Lisa oh oh Irish Minnesota

accents its it sounds very cheery yes I

think so too

it’s kind of what throws people off very

friendly

I shouldn’t say throws people off but

it’s like it sounds kind of joyful just

on its own so anything you say in like a

Minnesotan accent it sounds just more

happy it sounds very sincere to me ah

yeah like if I if I hear a Minnesota mom

saying oh sure you betcha

got some hot dish I know it’s casserole

but they say hot dish hot dish okay yeah

it’s very sincere and warm and friendly

thank you hey see ya around advance

right I’m not sure exactly exactly how

far this accent goes in the region if it

extends into Canada for example like

Canada is like when we talk about a

Canadian accent we use words like ending

sentences with a that kind of thing like

oh yeah Canada that sort of thing but

the a lot of Canadian accents differ

from American accents to in the vowels

rounder longer vowels compared to sort

of a general American accent and I think

Minnesotan accent our Upper Midwest

accents are towards that end of the

spectrum as well so I think Minnesotan

accents are similar to to maybe a

central Canadian X I think the most

famous example of a Minnesotan accent is

from the movie Fargo yeah Coen Brothers

movie which is Fargo is not in Minnesota

it’s in one of the Dakotas right North

to South Dakota North Dakota Ferguson

South Dakota one of the Dakotas okay but

that accent is a very classic Minnesotan

accent right the characters use right

and I was thinking about that too and in

choosing that accent to describe because

and this is part of the reason why I

said it sounds kind of cheerful is that

that movie is it’s a suspense movie it’s

a it’s a murder mystery but everyone is

speaking in this kind of cheerful

sounding voice and that really lends

that kind of gives this really kind of

strange mysterious feel to the film yes

there’s a good contrast there I think

you’re right I never thought about that

yeah I agree with you yeah all right

anyway that’s a bit about Minnesota I

don’t know if it was good enough but

anyway let’s go into your next run

my last one is southern accent and now

southern accents also there there’s a

lot of variety in southern accents

different states in the South different

parts of those states have different

southern accents but there’s also a sort

of general southern accent I’m from the

South I grew up in the South but I do

not have a southern accent but I like to

try and pick out when I hear southern

accent I like to try and guess where

people are from from hearing their

accent but I’m not always right so

there’s sort of a general southern

accent and there are pockets of specific

kind of accents in the south and I also

think there’s a big distinction in

southern accents between like a rural

southern accent and the more urban or

City southern accent the city accents

are a little bit more saw they’re softer

a little more genteel and the rural

accents are twanging year I would say so

for example a gentle southern accent

would be something hey y’all

what’s your heart it’s something like

that whereas a twangy accent would be

hey y’all mmm what’s your heart must

sharper sharper a little more Rodie

maybe okay okay but there’s a there’s a

drawl and an elongation and a slowness

to a southern accent yeah that I think

is very nice right and I think going

back to what you mentioned about the

Boston accent in the way the are sounds

in particular change I think that you

can hear that with kind of like like you

describe the more city version of a

southern accent like I think back to

like when my grandmother would use the

expression she she would say oh lordy Oh

instead of saying oh my god like that

was the southern way of saying lordy

right hurt that was a way of saying oh

my god but she would say as you just

said Oh lawdy like the R sound when we

spell that word on paper it’s lor dy but

when she pronounced it it was like l8w

mm-hmm dy Lord that was that was the way

she made an O and an R sound right - so

this is very soft slow it slow accent a

lot of the sounds kind of blend together

it’s it’s a night I think it’s

nice accent most of the time but

unfortunately a southern accent also has

associations that are generally kind of

negative in other parts of the country a

lot of people here a southern accent and

think that a person with a southern

accent is maybe uneducated not very

smart and again I think that’s very

unfortunate because that’s not always

the case I think that is an unfair

stereotype associated with the accent

for sure okay then let’s all go for my

last one a bit to the west of you I

suppose though this could probably be

blending a little bit with southern

accents I feel I chose Texas for the

next accent so Texas borders Mexico and

I would I was thinking about this

actually in preparing this card and I

was kind of thinking it’s interesting

that you don’t hear more of an influence

at least I should say at least among

like white English speakers in in Texas

and in that region like there’s not more

of an influence in terms of like the way

Spanish speakers talk but instead the

Texas accent the traditional I guess

stereotypical Texas accent sounds much

more similar to a southern accent I

think um they have what’s called the

Texas drawl so a drawl is like this

continuous style of speaking it’s like

this really well it’s not always slow

but it’s like there are no breaks almost

between words sometimes or there they’re

like kind of rolling the words together

so we make like clear distinctions

admittedly a little bit exaggerated for

this show but making clear distinctions

between words but in Texan in Texas

accents you might not hear such a clear

distinction so some kind of maybe famous

things that people say in Texan accents

like even the way the state is

pronounced we say Texas but Texans might

say Texas Texas oh yeah

I don’t know sure why not don’t mess

with Texas right that’s better I can’t

do it very well it’s like it’s it’s

there’s a cadence to it mmm which is

nice I am struggling to make it to make

that sound it’s without embarrassing

myself like it’s like the image that

that kind of speech conjures like I

think you imagine like a cowboy like

don’t you hear somebody who speaks this

way it’s it’s like a big guy to write

like a slow kind of maybe actually kind

of gentle I have an image of like a slow

sort of gentle cowboy it sounds really

weird it’s just a stereotypical image I

think of someone who speaks I think the

sterile Texan accent yes yeah sorry - no

I think that the the stereotypical

southern acts excuse me I think that the

stereotypical Texan accent also it

inserts a lot of these like glide sounds

there’s a lot of neat like why and and

gliding and blended vowels in there so

when you say like don’t mess with Texas

don’t mess with Texas you know you’re

putting in a little why to kind of wedge

that vowel apart right yeah instead of

get sort of get ya get ya that’s a good

one then that sort of e sound gets in

there heat up y’all y’all yeah a lot is

there’s there’s some cross there’s some

influence for the southern accent in

Texas as well it’s a different accent

but the two are often mistaken they’re

very similar yeah and these are just a

few accents really there are so many and

like some small regional variations as

well absolutely so these are just a

couple examples of maybe the ones that

stood out but it’s quite I feel anyway

it’s quite difficult to really replicate

another accent if you’re not used to

using it that much it’s true it’s hard

and I don’t know about you but it I’ve

been very self-conscious me too doing

all of these here hopefully they’re

accurate I think we’re gonna just get

completely roasted in the comments me

how terrible our accent good view but if

you want to know more about these

accents I would recommend just do a

quick youtube search to see what people

actually sound like using these accents

because you know maybe we can do a

Boston accent or like a Californian

accent

okay but if you really want to see a

good example of someone speaking in that

way just do a quick youtube search and

maybe you can find some some better

resources some actual native speaker

resources we often get asked on this

channel what kind of English are we

speaking people usually ask is this

American English is this British English

and the answer is American English we

speak American English on this channel

both of us are American English speakers

but we have different accents actually

we sound fairly similar in most ways but

I am from the west coast I was born in

California and then I was raised in

Oregon so I have a very mmm

West Coast I suppose accent but I think

that that has also been influenced here

in there by the people and the accents

that I’ve spent my time around so it’s

mostly West Coast I would say there’s

not really one specific region for me

right how would you define your accent I

would say I have a fairly standard

American accent and so I grew up in the

south as I said but I don’t have a

southern accent when I go home my

family’s still all in the south when I’m

not in the South now but when I go home

some of my southern accent creeps out

and I kind of let it creep out a little

bit honestly because it helps show

people that I’m from there

I mean accents in a way are like a

membership card to to a community and so

I let myself in accent come out a little

bit when I’m home but otherwise this is

my normal accent sort of standard

American accent and a standard American

accent is sort of like the newscaster

accent it’s the it’s the the flat

overarching accent that you could find

in any part of the country so people

from Boston might not have a strong

Boston accent people from California

might not have a strong California

accent they might have more of a

standard American accent that you might

people might pick up from just watching

growing up which is maybe what happened

with me but I also know that I have one

interesting thing about accents we’ve

been talking a lot about pronunciation

but word choice is also a big part of

accents the different words people use

for different things like for example in

Minnesota it’s hot dish but other parts

of the country

it’s casserole and things like that and

some of the words that I use that I have

in my lexicon in my vocabulary my

internal vocabulary are very New

England’s because my parents are from

the East Coast and so I say I pronounce

your your mother or excuse me or your

mother or father’s sister is your aunt

I say aunt how do you say the word for-4

fur really yeah like I’m gonna go to the

store for some milk

they say fur I might say for if I’m

saying it quickly but I’m more likely to

say for I would say I think well I’m

going to the store for some milk I

definitely safer interesting so how do

you pronounce K and E W K and E W new

yeah I think I say new as well but i

I’ve heard some people kind of they

recognize the K sound and make it more

of like a new new sort of sound okay I

just say new no like in you I knew it I

pronounced it yeah yeah but like

dialects for sure yeah yeah they are a

huge part of language as well not just

accent there is one fierce debate that

has raged for a long time fierce debate

means a strong heated discussion that

has raged for a long time meaning it has

continued for a long time

soda pop coke Cola those four words are

used in different regions of the US a

pop you left off pop or did you say pop

I said pop did you say pop okay okay so

soda pop coke Cola those four words all

mean fizzy carbonated drink when I grew

up in California and in Oregon we used

pop okay we used pop absolutely not coke

because in my mind coke is a brand and

that is specific to one item only what

did you use coke coke because I’m from

the south that’s how people say coke

because coke is a southern brand it’s

from Atlanta but when I moved out of the

south and I moved to the west coast when

I was 18 I realer I taught myself to say

soda I started

so what you started saying soda when you

move to the west coast yes in growing up

in the South I would go to a restaurant

when I was a kid you know with my

parents and what do you want hon I’ll

have a coke please what kind you know

sprite whatever that though all of those

things are coke any soda was coke I

think that that’s changing now maybe

maybe more people are saying soda in the

south but I definitely said coke growing

up changed I changed to coke I think I

said pop alot sure fun vocab for you for

the day mm-hmm if you look at a map say

you have a map of the United States and

down here you’ve got coke and over here

you’ve got soda and over here you’ve got

pop the border between those zones isn’t

isogloss what isogloss isogloss yes and

isoglosses the term used to demarcate

between regions based on dialect it’s

interesting that’s your that’s your word

of the day though I’m interested that’s

it see it’s literally something you

could draw a line down it’s not there’s

a lot of crossover and so you can see

isogloss maps if you just get on google

and you view Google you know United

States isogloss maps you’ll see

different maps for different terms in

different words and sometimes you’ll see

quizzes like these Facebook quizzes kind

of things where how do you pronounce

this word what do you call this insect

and so on and based on how you answer

its those quizzes are pretty accurate at

predicting where you’re from isogloss is

the word is o GL o SS so if you google

isogloss you know United States or

American isogloss map something like

that you can find some very interesting

images that show you how different words

are pronounced or different words that

are used for the same thing in different

parts of the country and the lines are

not sharp there’s a lot of a blending

and gray area where those lines meet

interesting hmm

so maybe if you find an accent that you

like and you want to know more about

that you can use one of those studies

isogloss study some isoglosses never

know it sounds interesting

cool thanks for telling I didn’t know

about that first time I’d ever heard of

an ISIL glossed map are you going very

cool all right well I guess we’ll wrap

it up there so those are a few accents

from the USA again these are not by any

means the only accents in the USA

definitely have a look at some other

videos online if you want to know more

about these accents and definitely check

out isogloss maps as Davie recommended

to learn a little bit more about each

region where different accents are

spoken and phrases for gossip

let’s go oh my god so the first phrase

is oh my god so so oh my god

so is a introductory phrase you can use

to start your topic with like a surprise

factor so you say oh my god and then so

is your transition phrase so for example

oh my god so I have to tell you about

this movie I saw or oh my god so I saw

my neighbor in the shopping mall this

morning or oh my god so did you see my

new dog it’s kind of weird usually it’s

about a person not about a dog but who

knows you won’t believe what happened to

me the other day the next expression is

you won’t believe what happened to me

the other day you won’t believe what

happened to me the other day meaning

something happened to you and you think

it’s going to be a surprise to the

person listening to you you won’t

believe what happened to me the other

day so it’s a very fast phrase because

it sounds like you want to share very

quickly like you won’t believe what

happened to me you can drop the other

day if you want or you said you can say

you won’t believe what happened to me

this morning you won’t believe what

happened to me last night you won’t

believe it happened to me this weekend

you won’t believe what happened to me

over my winter vacation so that you

won’t believe what happened to me gets

very very quick and short so examples

you won’t believe what happened to me

the other day

I’ve ran into my ex boss or you won’t

believe what happened to me the other

day I tripped and fell down a flight of

stairs or you won’t believe what

happened to me the other day I got a new

parrot

sure I don’t know maybe one of you can

use that guess what the next phrase is

very short the next phrase is like an

exclamation so an excited statement and

a question guess what guess what so

guess what is inviting the listener to

guess what happened to you yes what the

full question would be guess what

happened or guess what happened to me

but we only say guess what so guess what

and sometimes the listener guesses and

sometimes the listener just says what

usually the listener just says what ask

so meaning you should continue the story

so if you say guess what I quit my job

or guess what I saw my best friend with

a new guy I haven’t seen before

another example guess what I got a new

car something like that so some kind of

shocking like difficult to guess

situation I haven’t told you about this

yet the next expression is I haven’t

told you about this yet I haven’t told

you about this yet so have not becomes

haven’t I haven’t told you about this

yet so maybe you’ve told you have told

other people but this specific person

maybe you have not told that person your

news or some information yet but this

yet implies you are planning to or you

want to tell them this so it’s it’s kind

of creates a little suspense I haven’t

told you about this yet so we could use

this like I haven’t told you about this

yet I’m going to France next summer or I

haven’t told you about this yet but I

broke up with my boyfriend last night or

I haven’t told you about this yet but

I’m throwing a big party for my coworker

this weekend can you come other examples

I haven’t told you about this yet I saw

my boss out for dinner with someone

who’s not his wife Oh oh my god that’s

not true

I haven’t told you about this yet I

heard

that the company is gonna go bankrupt Oh

also not true okay so those are some

pretty juicy juicy gossip that’s an

expression we use we say juicy gossip is

something that’s like really really

interesting gossip or a really

interesting story about people we say

juicy gossip for that have you heard

about the next expression is have you

heard about blah blah blah have you

heard about can be followed with a noun

phrase have you heard about a person you

can use a person or have you heard about

a situation you can use both you can use

an object - so have you heard about the

new iPhone or have you heard about the

new office policies you can use that for

pretty much anything you want to inform

your listener about so have you heard

about is usually said very quickly have

you heard about so the U becomes

shortened - yeah have you heard about

have you heard about bubble blah so have

you heard about the new secretary have

you heard about our new boss sir have

you heard about my co-worker quitting

his job have you heard about the

neighbors above us they’re moving so you

can use people here for a gossip

expressions or you can use objects in

this expression just to introduce

something new very useful phrase have

you heard about my mum sorry mom I don’t

know why you came into that one okay so

the other day the next expression is

kind of like the beginning to a story so

maybe this can be for gossip maybe it

can just be like a story something

interesting or maybe boring that

happened to you the expression is so the

other day so the other day so the other

day the other day here means not today

some other day which day it doesn’t

really matter it’s not really important

but we say the other day some day in the

past this expression is used for so we

can say so the other day I was sitting

at my desk in the office when my manager

came and

if he could speak to me dun dun dun or

so the other day I was shopping and I

ran into my ex-boyfriend or so the other

day I was renting a car and the former

President of the United States came into

the car rental shop what all right so

the other day just some day in the past

so I was talking with and the next one

you can use maybe for gossip sometimes

but also you can use for making plans

it’s so I was talking with someone and

bla bla bla so I was talking with

someone means you were having a

conversation at another time with a

person and you want to kind of report

information or share something from that

conversation with the person listening

now so I might say so I was talking with

Risa and I think that we should plan a

party for this weekend what do you think

so I was talking with my team about this

and I think that we should make some

changes so that’s a very kind of

everyday work situation use of this

phrase but you can also use it for

gossip like so I was talking to my best

friend and I think I’m gonna move or I

was talking to my parents and I think

it’s best if we break up oh so it can be

for plans it can be for gossip it can be

for just any conversation plus a report

what’s up with the next expression is

kind of a little like mysterious then

the expression is what’s up with bla bla

bla usually what’s up with person for

gossip meaning there’s like the nuance

here is there some problem where it

seems like something’s wrong with this

person they’re unhappy they’re sad

they’re angry some kind of negative

emotion we use this so it’s like what’s

up with Stevens I haven’t heard from him

lately what’s up with your brother he

seems really upset or what’s up with

your neighbor why is he so noisy or

what’s up with your boss he’s so strict

so it sounds

like there’s some problem we usually use

this intonation what’s up with what’s up

with none to introduce somebody who has

a problem we don’t say what’s up it’s

not that it’s not that sort of hello um

expression it’s a it’s an expression for

a problem you can also use a noun phrase

that is not a person here like what’s up

with this new office policy or what’s up

with this new rule at work or what’s up

with this new item on the menu at this

restaurant it’s super weird so what’s up

with wah wah wah has sort of a negative

nuance you can use it for people to talk

about strange behavior what’s up with

you have you heard from lately the next

expression is have you heard from blah

blah blah lately have you heard from

person lately have you heard from

steven’s lately I haven’t seen him have

you heard from your mom lately have you

heard from your dad lately have you

heard from your brother lately have you

heard from your landlord lately I don’t

know why you hear from your landlord but

have you heard from someone lately there

is sort of enix like a little bit of an

expectation that you are in contact with

the person involved in this sentence

like you have some relationship maybe

it’s a family relationship romantic

relationship professional relationship

there’s some relationship with this

person and lately it’s like have you

heard from them recently lately in the

last few days in the last few weeks so

you can use this if for example you are

looking for someone or you’re worried

about someone you can use this here you

can also use it just just to check in

about some other person without asking

that person directly so like if I want

to ask about I’m using risa in my

example Risa is our Japanese Channel

host if I want to ask about how Risa is

but I don’t want to ask Risa I know

maybe she’s busy or I don’t know for

some reason I cult to talk to her I can

ask like a co-worker I’m gonna say hey

have you heard from recent lately it

seems she’s really busy or have you

heard from so-and-so lately it seems

they’re busy so if I want to ask about

another /

sin but I don’t want to bother this

person or that something makes it

difficult I can use have you heard from

bla bla bla recently or lately to ask

about them very useful phrase I have to

tell you about

next expression ah the next expression

is I have to tell you about blah blah

blah I have to tell you so have to

becomes hafta I have to tell you about

it has a nice hmmmmm sound I have to

tell you about papa bah or I have to

tell you about something

so I have to tell you about my weekend I

have to tell you about Stephens I have

to tell you about my mom I have to tell

you about my boyfriend how’d she tell

you about my girlfriend

whatever it is some person used at the

end of this sentence creates a nuance

like there’s exciting news about that

person or I have to tell you about this

thing that happened you can use a

situation at the end of the sentence to

but you’re using I have to at the

beginning of this sentence so that

sounds like it’s really important like I

feel it’s so important it’s my

responsibility to tell you because this

is so exciting of course you can use

this in more boring situations as well

like I have to tell you about the new

office policy you can use it in that way

with a very flat intonation but for

gossip purposes use I have to tell you

about Papapa that sounds really good so

what do you have to tell somebody about

I have to tell you about this new idea I

have for a business or I have to tell

you about what happened to me last night

okay so there are these really exciting

ways that we can introduce things that

happened or that we can talk about

people or whatever okay want to speed up

account right now the difference between

someone everyone and anyone and somebody

anybody and everybody let’s get started

by looking at the meanings of these

words and how we use them okay let’s

begin with someone and somebody to begin

with you can remember someone in

somebody and anyone and anybody follow

very similar rules as some and any if

you’ve seen the video on our channel

talking about some and any maybe you

remember the

that I’m going to explain here you can

check that video for some extra

information about those grammar points

too so let’s start with someone and

somebody we use someone and somebody in

positive statements so a simple

statement not a question in other words

when we make a positive statement we use

someone and somebody in that sentence

structure we also use these two words in

requests and in offers so keep in mind

these are two categories of questions so

a request question or an offer question

let’s take a look at some examples of

this now first of all there’s someone at

the office

so here I’ve chosen someone there’s

someone at the office this is a positive

statement so not a question just a

statement it’s a positive here the next

example can you send someone to help me

can you send someone to help me this is

a request so a specific type of question

a request question can you send someone

to help me the third example sentence is

an offer would you like to talk to

somebody would you like to talk to

somebody so here we have request offer

positive statement we can use someone or

somebody in each of these examples so

I’ve used someone someone and somebody

here but actually we can change each of

these to the other choice both are fine

in each of these example sentences I’ll

talk more about the difference between

one and buddy a little bit later for now

however let’s move on to the difference

between anyone and anybody okay so this

is a key difference between someone and

somebody anyone and anybody this is used

in negative statements these are used in

negative statements someone in somebody

used in positive statements so this

follows the same rule as some and any

so in negative statements and we use any

and anybody in information questions so

that means that not requests not offers

but you’re looking for some kind of

information we use anyone and anybody in

these cases so let’s look at a few

examples of this first I don’t think

anyone is at the office don’t think

anyone is at the office so here we’ve

used anyone because it’s a negative

here’s my negative it’s in the do not so

not right here this is my negative

therefore I’ve used any one here one

more content coming up soon so I hope

that you check out those lessons and I

hope that you can get a good start on

modal verbs studies thanks very much for

sending this along I hope that helps

clear up what a modal verb is okay let’s

move along to your next question next

question comes from trying hi trying

trying says hi Alicia what does get rid

of mean ah get rid of means throw away

we often use the word get rid of when we

want to throw something away quickly or

when we really don’t want that item or

it was really unnecessary we can also

use the phrase

get rid of with people but this is used

when we want to cut someone off of a

group or an organization

like when someone loses their job for

example I finally got rid of my broken

blender our company finally got rid of

that employee who was stealing things

okay so I hope this helps you understand

the expression get rid of something

thanks very much for sending it all

right onward to our next question next

question this week comes from Mohammed

Al Daley heigen mahmoud mohamed says hi

Alicia what’s the difference between

supposedly and supposably and can I use

them interchangeably no use supposedly

supposedly

so supposedly means according to

something else this is true but we use

supposedly when we’re like a little bit

skeptical so skeptical means we don’t

quite believe something is true like

there’s a little bit of like disbelief

there like maybe someone is lying or

someone is hiding something so there’s a

feeling of suspicion but it’s like

saying according to this person this

situation is true but we might not have

all the information so supposedly is the

word that means this some examples

supposedly this is a good company to

work for supposedly he missed his flight

because of traffic so supposedly the

other word you introduced means

conceivable something we are able to

conceive up something that we can

suppose so it does not have this meaning

of according to someone plus disbelief

it doesn’t have the same meaning as

supposedly in American English speakers

will use this word but it’s a mistake

they’re intending they’re planning they

want to use the word supposedly but they

make a mistake and use supposably

instead so please use supposedly not

supposedly I hope that this helps you

thanks very much for the question all

right let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from Mota

had a motive oh hello mother honey

well tejate says hi Alicia is it true

that we use of for something that

belongs to a thing or animal but

apostrophe s for something that belongs

to a human ah no it is not true while

yes it does

sound more natural to use apostrophe s

for something that belongs to a human it

is not a rule to use of to show

possession for something that belongs to

a thing or an animal some examples let’s

compare the cars steering wheel came off

in my hands and the steering wheel of

the car came off in my hands my computer

screen is broken the screen of my

computer is broken so these pairs of

sentences actually mean the same thing

we’re just showing possession in like

different ways I would say that native

speakers will probably use whatever is

the shortest way to describe whatever it

is they want to say so probably the

apostrophe s pattern is most common it’s

certainly not incorrect to use the of

pattern both are fine to use here when

you’re talking about people however it

does sound much more natural to use the

apostrophe s pattern using the of

pattern to show possession for something

we own or something we have sounds very

weird when you’re talking about people

examples my friends hair is beautiful

the hair of my friend is beautiful

your brother’s shirt is so funny the

shirt of your brother is so funny

very weird so in these pairs the second

example sentence that uses of while

grammatically correct sounds very

strange so when you’re talking about

people use the apostrophe s pattern to

talk about their characteristics or the

things that they have if you’re talking

about an object or an animal you can

choose whichever you prefer

as I said native speakers tend to use

the shortest expression possible so in

most cases that’s the apostrophe s

pattern also note that in some formal

situations when we want to make

something sound a bit more like grand or

exciting we will use that of pattern

instead of the apostrophe s pattern like

the palace of the king instead of the

king’s palace so that’s going to make it

sound a little bit more exciting so in

those cases and like those formal really

exciting like luxurious expensive cases

you might hear of used more

okay I hope that that helps you thanks

very much for your question let’s move

along to our next question for this week

next question comes from BA huge hi BA

huge

but he says what’s the difference

between if I and if I will for example

if I do that and if I will do that if

there’s a difference where is it ah this

is a good question but the answer is

that we use if I and not if I will

actually this relates back to our first

question from this week’s episode about

modal verbs when you’re making a

conditional sentence that means a

sentence that uses an if clause and a

main clause we do not use a modal verb

in the if clause if you want to use a

modal verb your modal verb needs to come

in your main clause so that means if you

want to make an if sentence and you want

to use will you can use them in the same

sentence but you have to separate the

clauses that they’re in that means if I

something something something

I will something something something

that’s the pattern that you need to use

you cannot use if I will together in

that way you have to separate these two

some examples if I have the day off

tomorrow I’ll go to the movie theater

if we save enough money this month we

can go to Hawaii this summer so the

second example sentence uses a different

modal verb I used can there instead of

will so just make sure that when you’re

making these conditional sentences that

you don’t use your modal verb in your if

clause use it in your main Clause also

remember you can swap the order you can

switch the order so that its main clause

first if clause second that’s fine the

same rule still applies we can go to

Hawaii this summer if we save enough

money this month so that’s also fine you

can choose whichever you prefer so I

hope that that helps you use if I not if

I will let’s get to your first question

this week first question comes from

Karima hi again Karima Karima says hi

Alicia could you please tell me what

can’t you tell means Thanks yeah we use

the word tell to mean understand

so in casual conversations tell means

understand so it doesn’t mean

share information it means understand or

know we use this a lot in questions so

for example how can you tell how can you

tell means how do you know so can you

tell how can you tell this is quite a

common pattern with this word we would

use can’t you tell in a situation where

we’re trying to confirm that the

listener does not understand or does not

notice something can’t you tell

so we’re using the negative can’t

because we’re confirming can’t you tell

so we would use this in a situation

where maybe the speaker has some like

change or there’s something that they

hope the listener notices but maybe the

listener does not notice and the speaker

wants to confirm for example I got a

haircut

can’t you tell this is an expensive suit

can’t you tell so another way of saying

can’t you tell is like aren’t you able

to notice or aren’t you able to

understand so you’re confirming

something like I got a haircut can’t you

tell it’s like the speaker is surprised

that the listener doesn’t notice so

these are the situations where we would

use the negative can’t you tell when we

use the positive form can you tell we’re

actually asking for information so an

example is like oh no I spilled coffee

on my white pants can you tell meaning

are you able to notice or can you see

that I spilled coffee on my pants for

example I went to a really smoky

restaurant for lunch

can you tell so are you able to notice

like because of the way I smell

so can you tell is asking for

information like can you see can you

notice can’t you tell is a confirmation

question so just remember tell is used

to mean understand I hope that that

helps you thanks very much for the

question okay let’s move on to your next

question next question comes from Bach

Tarkan haibach guitar Bach tear says hi

Alicia what is the meaning of rather I

really can’t use it in a sentence okay

there are a couple of different ways to

use rather

first we can use rather to introduce

preferences so a great example of this

is would you rather a or B so we’re

introducing our options with the word

rather then when we give our preference

we can use rather to do that we can say

I would rather a than B so this is

giving us options we can use to give

those options and we can use it to

explain our choice you can think of

rather like prefer meaning you would

desire one thing more than another thing

so I would rather drink coffee than tea

she would rather watch a movie at home

than go to a theater so rather sounds a

bit more casual than prefer the second

use of rather than is to use the word to

mean a better way of saying something

that I just said I use social media

every day rather I check social media

every day I don’t always post so when we

use rather in a sentence like this it

means a better or perhaps a more

accurate way to say what I just said is

this so in the first sentence I said I

use social media every day then I said

rather which means more accurately or a

better way to say that is I check social

media every day so you can hear with my

intonation I’m focusing on the word that

I’m changing in the first sentence my

verb was used I use social media every

day when I use this rather pattern I’m

emphasizing with my voice the change

that I have made so I check social media

every day that’s the thing that’s more

accurate so when we use rather this is

kind of a common emphasis pattern let’s

look at one more example he hates going

on business trips rather he hates the

paperwork required for going on business

trips so in that case we’re making the

statement a little bit more accurate and

we use rather to explain that so he

doesn’t hate business trips

he hates the paperwork he has to do for

business trips so we use rather in this

way as well so those are two ways to use

the word rather I hope that this helped

you understand

thanks very much for the question okay

let’s move on to your next question next

question this week comes from tan Titian

hi tan tan says number one what’s the

difference between important essential

and significant and two what is the

meaning of time after time year after

year or day after day okay let’s look at

your first question important essential

and significant so important means it

requires attention something that

requires our attention some examples we

have some important news to share

it’s important we have a meeting soon

essential means important and we cannot

do without it like if we don’t have this

thing something negative might happen

some examples health care is essential

for all citizens

it’s essential we solve these problems

as soon as possible so significant means

something very noticeable or to a great

degree to a great extent examples there

was a significant increase in profits

last year we lost a significant amount

of inventory in the storm okay so that’s

a quick introduction to the differences

between important essentially and

significant now let’s go on to your

question about year by year or day by

day and those kinds of patterns we just

use these to emphasize that over time

something happened so like for example

year by year she improved her English

speaking abilities it means like as

years past something occurred gradually

so day by day he grew more and more

proficient at playing the trumpet for

example so it’s referring to something

that continues over a period of time

that’s expressed with this day by day or

year by year so if it’s an everyday

action you could use day by day to mean

like a child growing for example like

day by day the child grew stronger or if

it’s something that’s more long-term

like language studies you could say year

by year our English speaking abilities

grew so we’re talking about a continuing

action over time usually that grows or

like the changes in

way so we can use these kinds of

expressions to talk about that progress

I hope that that helps you okay thanks

very much for the question

let’s move on to your next question next

question this week comes from Bruno

Donizetti bueno hi Bruno Bruno says hi

Alicia please tell me what is the

difference between I go and I will go

okay I go begins a present tense

statement so that’s something that

happens now like part of a schedule or

just something that you regularly do

examples I go shopping every weekend I

go to the dentist once a year

I will go is a future tense statement a

simple future tense statement when you

use will you’re talking about something

that’s probably in the near future and

maybe something you’ve just made a

decision about examples I’ll go with a

latte please

I think I’ll go to the movies after work

so we’ll go is a future tense statement

I go it’s a present tense statement hope

that that helps you thanks for the

question okay let’s move on to your next

question next question for this week

comes from Constantine hi Constantine

Constantine says hi Alicia if there a

difference between because and cause it

seems to me they have a similar meaning

yes yes these are the same so because

and cuz have the same meaning because we

write cuz without B at the beginning

just to be more casual to be a little

bit more friendly so you can use them in

the same way I would recommend if

however you are writing something like

an essay or paper something formal make

sure to use because so always spell the

full word because on the other hand you

may also find an even shorter version a

rather a shorter spelling of this word c

uz cuz so cuz also means because but we

just use this coz because it’s quick and

easy to type but it’s also just the way

that native speakers say because in

everyday speech

we don’t always say because so clearly

we use cuz like I’m going to the store

cuz I want to get something to eat

so cuz see you see

something you might see a lot in texts

or on social media as well so yes

because cause and cuz all have the same

meaning

because thanks very much for the

question hope great work here’s a reward

口音这些

是您将在电视中听到的不同美国口音

电影，如果你访问美国，也许

在不同的地区也是如此，所以

我们将分享并尽力分享

这些口音听起来像什么，但

如果它不完美，请提前原谅我们

让我们开始你想

开始我们好吧当然，

我猜我会按字母顺序排列，我的

第一个是波士顿，好的

波士顿口音是一种经典的

强烈美国口音，他们

真的很有名

波士顿口音老板所做的著名事情是它放弃了

Rohtak 是那是跟在元音后面的，

所以经典的例子是，如果你有一辆

车，你把车停在哈佛院子里，

但你不会那样说，所以你的

袖珍车和它有 Yad，

这就是经典的 Bo ston 的例子，

这可能就是我能做的全部了哦，

我还有另一个我妈妈

用来调波士顿口音的 er 有

同样的东西，你是什么，让我们

去 33rd 和 3rd Street

听男孩们的声音咀嚼它，这听起来

很完美，它

与我们现在说话的方式完全不同

很多地方

通常是区域性的，因此是

整个区域，有时它们

对一个城市非常具体，我认为

波士顿就是这种情况，它对

非常小的位置非常具体，嗯，

这是东北的这个城市，是的，你

我认为您确实在电影中

确实看到了很多肯定是肯定的，

这对我来说很有趣，

不同的口音与

不同的人的刻板印象相关联

有时，

波士顿口音与一种严厉的严肃态度相关联

——是的，我敢肯定波士顿有一些

严肃严肃的人

可能是真的任何

地方你对我们有什么

好不只是

一个，所以可能我最

喜欢取笑的口音是所谓的

山谷女孩口音山谷女孩

口音以使所有

陈述听起来像一个问题而闻名，并且

说话方式非常发牢骚

还有这种奇怪的

这似乎并不具体，但

在年轻女性的演讲中很常见，

特别是来自加利福尼亚的年轻女性，这

就是所谓的声乐混音’嗯

，女性会喜欢降低

他们的声音，

以便创造一个不同的男人

人们这样做的原因有很多，我实际上并不

知道，但我这样做了我只是从小就这样说话

，虽然我从来没有想过我

应该在

某种类似的情况下使用这种演讲，或者只是我

就是这样长大的，但

近年来，声乐油炸一直是讨论的主题，

我读过一些东西，但

无论如何，

如果我能举个例子，就像

今天一样，我是一个典型的加州山谷女孩，我要去工作是的，我看到了

这个人，他真的很

可怕，我不知道该怎么做，

这非常像在一系列示例问题中分享

故事和解释事情的发牢骚的方式，

或者在那个系列的示例问题中抱歉

声明我所说的没有任何问题，

但所有内容都有向上的

语调，所以

这些都是女性特有的一些

特征，

但另一方面

，男性有这张来自加利福尼亚的冲浪者的形象

d 这通常就像

年轻人那样说话，他们

会说是的，兄弟，这是怎么回事，让

我们去海滩吧，

你会怎么形容，

就像你能想象

你的声音很放松，但同时又粗鲁

肯定

这听起来像你曾经喜欢用

他们说话的方式取笑加利福尼亚

人这是我最喜欢

取笑的口音我通常不喜欢取笑

口音艾丽西娅不不我做得很好

我应该说模仿两分钟很有趣

这是我最喜欢模仿的口音是一个

有趣的模仿口音也许我

认为这种口音也与它有一定的

联系也许很多

人可能会联想到愚蠢或

带有加利福尼亚口音的

愚蠢是不幸的，因为并非总是如此，不仅加利福尼亚，到处都有愚蠢的人，

但

这种口音通常

与权利相联系是不幸的权利，这是

真的，因为使用交付方式

，也很明显，就像现在

这是发声’我什至没有

考虑它，但喜欢将你的声音

降低到较低的音域，但显然

人们将这与愚蠢联系在一起，

就像人们特别是年轻

女性一样试图改变他们的声音以使他们

看起来更聪明或类似的

东西我什至没有

诚实地考虑它所以这很有趣但是

加利福尼亚有一系列

以不同方式安排的口音所以

这只是一个你无论如何都要回去的口音

绝对在你那一边，

我们仍然按照

我喜欢的字母顺序，我现在要为你做一个芝加哥

口音

芝加哥口音非常

典型的中西部口音我认为

有更广泛的中西部

口音和芝加哥口音可能是其中的一个

子集，它不仅像

更广泛的中西部口音，而且还有

芝加哥口音——我不太了解这种

口音，但我选择了这个口音，

因为

它我小时候经常看到的口音，

也是我最喜欢的周六周六

夜现场小品

之一只是

画出它的作用

芝加哥画出很多

元音很多中西部口音画出

元音并使它们

在你的味觉上更高一点我猜

有熊熊是的所以熊所以

它更像是开放

然后用元音来回移动 mm-hmm mm-hmm 我

不能用芝加哥口音来拯救我的

生命

芝加哥标签哦，你去吧，这

很难，真的很难，

是的，这是一个很好的口音，我喜欢它

芝加哥口音与

喜欢有关工人阶级的口音嗯嗯，

但也许那是对的我不知道

对不对是的那是一个很好的口音

我做不到我不认为我能做到我

不想尝试说比芝加哥更多的东西

因为这就是我

会正确追踪的很难，谢谢，

好吧，好吧，

尽管在那个北方，

所以我准备的下一个是我叫它

明尼苏达州，所以明尼苏达州

是芝加哥以北的一个州，芝加哥在

伊利诺伊州，伊利诺伊州，所以

这有点像地区，但这是

更北的地方，所以你要去

加拿大，所以有几个地方

就像我们谈到的那样威斯康星

州是另一个在这里可能有类似

口音的州，但明尼苏达州和芝加哥相似，

有这种非常拉长的

元音，它是好吧，我想我会

尝试一下，让我们看看

我们都知道怎么说的一件事，就像哦，是的，

你婊子是的，你打赌，哦，当然，

哦，当然，丽莎，哦，哦，爱尔兰明尼苏达

口音，听起来很愉快，是的，我

想所以

这也是一种让人们失望的东西非常

友好

我不应该说让人们失望但

它就像它本身听起来有点快乐

所以你说的任何话都像

明尼苏达口音听起来更

快乐听起来很真诚对我来说

啊是的，如果我听到明尼苏达州的妈妈

说哦，当然，你肯定

有一些热菜，我知道这是砂锅

菜，但他们说热菜热菜，好吧，是的，

它非常真诚、热情和友好，

谢谢你，嘿，提前见

是的，我不确定

这种口音在该地区到底能走多远，如果它

延伸到加拿大，例如

加拿大就像当我们谈论

加拿大口音时，我们使用的词，比如

用类似哦耶加拿大这样的东西来结束句子

诸如此类的事情，

但是许多加拿大口音

与美国口音不同，

元音较长的元音与

一般的美国口音相比，我认为

明尼苏达州的口音我们的上中西部

口音也接近这一端，

所以我认为明尼苏达

口音可能类似于

加拿大中部 XI 认为

明尼苏达口音最著名的例子

来自电影 Fargo 是的 Coen Brothers

电影 Fargo 不在明尼苏达州

它在北

到南达科他州的一个达科他州北达科他州弗格森

南达科他州一个达科他州还可以，但是

那个口音是非常经典的明尼苏达

口音，角色使用正确

，我也在考虑这个问题，并

选择这种口音来描述，因为

和这个我

说这听起来有点欢快的部分原因是

那部电影是一部悬疑电影

这是一部谋杀之谜但每个人都

在用这种欢快的

声音说话

对这部电影

有一种奇怪的神秘感

让我们进入你的下一场比赛，

我的最后一个是南方口音，现在

南方口音也有

很多南方口音的变化，

南方不同的州，这些国家

的不同部分 tes 有不同的

南方口音，但也有

一种一般的南方

口音试着猜测

人们从哪里听到他们的

口音，但我并不总是正确的，所以

有一种普遍的南方

口音，南方有一些特定

类型的口音，我也

认为南方口音之间有很大的区别

就像农村的

南方口音和更多的城市或

城市南方口音城市口音

更多一点看到他们更

柔和一点更绅士和农村

口音是twanging year 我会说所以

例如温和的南方口音

会是什么嘿，

你们的心是什么，是这样的

，而尖利的口音会是

嘿，你们，嗯，你们的心

是什么？

延长和

南方口音的缓慢是的，我认为

这非常好，我想

回到你提到的

波士顿口音的方式，这些

声音特别变化我认为你

可以听到类似的声音你

描述了南方口音的更多城市版本，

就像我回想起来

当我祖母会使用

她会说的表达时她会说 oh lordy Oh

而不是像这样说 oh my god

是南方的方式说 lordy

正确的伤害那是说哦，

我的上帝，但她会说就像你刚才

说的那样哦，当我们在纸上拼写那个词时，就像 R 音一样，

它是 lor dy，

但当她发音时，就像 l8w

mm-hmm dy Lord 就是这样

她发出了正确的 O 和 R 音 - 所以

这是非常柔和的慢慢重音

很多声音混合在一起

这是一个夜晚我认为

大多数时候这是很好的口音但

不幸的是南方口音也有

联想是基因

在该国其他地区集会有点负面

这里的很多人都有南方口音，并

认为有南方

口音的人可能没有受过教育，不是很

聪明，我再次认为这很

不幸，因为情况并非

总是如此，我认为这是与口音相关的不公平的

刻板印象

当然可以，那么让我们都去我的

最后一个到你西边我

想虽然这可能会

与南方口音混合一点

我觉得我选择德克萨斯州作为

下一个口音所以德克萨斯州与墨西哥接壤，

我想我

在准备这张卡片时实际上正在考虑这个问题，

我有点想有趣的

是，你没有听到更多的影响

，至少我应该说，至少

在德克萨斯州

和那个地区就像说西班牙语的人说话

的方式一样，没有更多的影响，

而是

德克萨斯口音，我想传统的

德克萨斯口音听起来

更像是与南方口音相比，我

认为他们有所谓的

德州拉音，所以拉音就像这种

连续的说话方式，

非常好，并不总是很慢，

但有时单词之间几乎没有中断

，或者他们在那里

就像把单词放在一起，

所以我们做出了明确的区分，

诚然，这个节目有点夸张，

但在单词之间做出了明确的

区分，但是在德克萨斯

口音的德克萨斯人中，你可能听不到如此明显的

区别，所以人们可能会听到一些著名的

东西用德克萨斯口音说，

就像州的

发音一样，我们说德克萨斯，但德克萨斯人可能会

说德克萨斯德克萨斯哦，是的，

我不知道为什么不不

和德克萨斯混在一起，这更好，我不能

做得很好，就像是它

有一个节奏嗯，这

很好，我正在努力让它发出

那种声音它不会让自己尴尬，

就像我想的那样

，那种演讲让人联想到的

形象你想象自己像个牛仔，就像

你没听到有人这样说话

，就像个大个子，写得

像个慢吞吞的，也许实际上

有点温柔

这只是一个陈规定型的形象我

想到一个说话的人我认为

无菌的德克萨斯口音是的是的对不起 - 不

我认为陈规定型的

南方行为对不起我认为

陈规定型的德克萨斯口音也

插入了很多这样的

滑音很多整洁的像为什么和

滑行和混合元音在那里所以

当你说不要惹得克萨斯

不要惹得克萨斯你知道你

在加一点为什么要把

那个元音分开是的而不是

get ya get ya 那是一个很好

的声音然后那种 e 声音在

那里升温

不同的口音，

但两个经常被误认为

它们非常相似

无论如何

，

如果您不习惯使用另一种口音，那么很难真正复制

它，这是真的，这很难

，我不了解您，但是我

一直很自觉，我也在

这里做所有这些

希望它们是准确的

喜欢使用这些口音，

因为您知道也许我们可以使用

波士顿口音或喜欢加利福尼亚

口音，

但如果您真的想看到

某人以这种方式说话的好例子，

只需快速搜索一下 youtube，

也许您可以找到找到一些更好的

资源一些实际的母语人士

资源我们经常在这个频道上被问到

我们说什么样的

英语人们通常会问这是

美式英语还是英式英语

，答案是美式英语我们

在这个频道上说美式英语

我们是说美式英语的人，

但我们有不同的口音，实际上

我们在大多数方面听起来都非常相似，但

我来自

西海岸我

认为这也

受到了人们和我在那里度过的口音的影响

，所以

主要是西海岸

我有相当标准的

美国口音，所以我是

在南方长大的

现在是南方，但是当我回家时，我的

一些南方口音会慢慢冒出来

，我

有点老实说，因为它有助于向

人们表明我来自那里。

我的意思是，口音在某种程度上就像一张

会员卡到一个社区，所以当我在家的时候，

我让自己的口音出来

一点，但除此之外，这是

我的正常口音，有点像标准的

美国口音，标准的美国

口音有点像新闻播音员

的口音

您可以

在该国任何地方找到的总体口音，因此

来自波士顿的人可能没有强烈的

波士顿口音来自加利福尼亚的人

可能没有强烈的加利福尼亚

口音他们可能有更多

标准的美国口音，您

可能会从中学习只是看着

电视

长大，这可能是发生在我身上的事情

，但我也知道我

对口音有一个有趣的事情，我们

一直在谈论发音，

但单词选择也是一个重要

部分 ccents 人们用于不同事物的不同词语

，例如在

明尼苏达州是热菜，但

在该

国其他地区是砂锅菜之类的东西，以及

我使用的一些词语，这些词语

在我的词汇表中我的

内部词汇是非常新

英格兰，因为我的父母

来自东海岸，所以我说我发音

你的母亲或对不起，或者你的

母亲或父亲的妹妹是你的阿姨

我说阿姨你怎么说这个词 for-4

fur 真的是的，就像我一样我要去

商店买些牛奶，

他们说是毛皮我可能会说如果我

说得很快，但我更有可能

说因为我会说我觉得很好我

要去商店买些牛奶我

肯定更安全有趣所以你

怎么发音 K 和 EWK 和 EW new

只是说新的不喜欢你我知道

我说它是的是的，但

就像方言一样，肯定是的，是的，它们

是语言的重要组成部分，不仅仅是

口音，还有一场激烈的辩论，

已经持续了很长时间

很长一段时间

soda pop coke Cola 这四个词

在美国不同地区都用过 a

pop 你没说 pop 还是你说 pop

我说 pop 你说 pop ok ok so

soda pop coke Cola 这四个词都是

fizzy 的意思当我

在加利福尼亚和俄勒冈长大的时候，碳酸饮料我们用

汽水，好吧，我们用汽水绝对不是可乐，

因为在我看来，可乐是一个品牌

，它只针对一个项目，

你用什么可乐可乐，因为我

来自南方人们就是这么说可乐的，

因为可乐是南方品牌，它

来自亚特兰大，但是当

我搬出南方并

在 18 岁时搬到西海岸时，我学会

了说苏打水你

搬到西海岸是的

在南方长大我小时候会去一家餐馆

你知道我的

父母你想要什么亲爱的我

要一杯可乐求你知道什么样的

sprite 不管那

事情是可乐任何苏打水都是可口可乐我

认为现在情况正在改变也许

可能更多的人在南方说苏打水

但我肯定说可乐

长大变了我换成可乐我想我

说流行了很多肯定有趣的词汇给你

-嗯，如果你看一张地图，说

你有一张美国地图

，这里有可乐

，这里有苏打水，这里有汽水，

这些区域之间的边界不是等

角线什么 isogloss isogloss 是的和

isoglosses 这个术语用于

根据方言在区域之间划定界限

有趣的是，这是你的，这是你

的一天，虽然我很感兴趣，

但它确实是你

可以画一条线的东西，不是

有很多交叉所以你可以看到

iso 光泽度图如果您刚上谷歌

并查看谷歌，您知道

美国等光泽度图您会看到

不同单词的不同术语的不同地图，有时您会看到

类似这些 Facebook 测验之类

的事情，您如何

发音这个词你怎么称呼这种昆虫

等等，根据你如何回答

它，这些测验在

预测你来自哪里是相当准确的 isogloss 是

这个词是 o GL o SS 所以如果你谷歌

isogloss 你知道美国或

美国 isoglos 绘制类似的地图

，您可以找到一些非常有趣的

图像，这些图像向您展示了不同单词

的发音方式或

在该国不同地区用于同一事物的不同单词，

并且线条

不清晰有很多混合

和灰色区域这些线条在哪里遇到

有趣的嗯

所以也许如果你找到你喜欢的口音

并且你想了解更多

关于你可以使用其中一项研究等

音线研究一些等音线永远不会

知道这听起来很有趣

很酷谢谢你告诉

我第一次

听说ISIL光泽地图时我不知道你会不会

很酷好吧我想我们会把

它包装在那里所以这些是一些口音

再次来自美国，这些

绝不是美国唯一的口音，

如果您想了解更多

关于这些口音的信息，一定要看一下其他在线视频，并且一定要

查看 Davie 建议的等高线地图，

以了解更多关于每个

说不同口音的地区和八卦短语

let’s go oh my god 所以第一个短语

是 oh my god so so oh my god

so 是一个介绍性短语，你可以用它

来开始你的话题，就像一个惊喜

因素，所以你说哦我的上帝，

然后你的过渡短语也是如此，例如，

哦，我的上帝，所以我必须告诉你

我看过的这部电影，或者哦，我的上帝，所以我

今天早上在购物中心看到了我的邻居，

或者哦，我的上帝，你看到我的了吗？

新狗通常有点奇怪这是

关于一个人不是关于一条狗但谁

知道你不会相信前几天发生在

我身上的下一个表达是

你不会相信前

几天发生在我身上的事情你不会相信前几天

发生在我身上的事情 day 意思

是发生在你身上的事情，你认为

这会让听你的人感到惊讶

你不会

相信前几天发生在我身上的事情，

所以这是一个非常快速的短语，因为

听起来你想很快分享

就像你不会相信

发生在我身上的事情

如果你愿意，你可以放弃前几天，或者你说你可以说

你不会相信今天早上发生在我身上的事情

你不会相信

昨晚发生在我身上的事情你不会

相信这周末发生在我身上

你不会相信

我在寒假中发生的事情所以你

不会相信发生在我身上的事情会变得

非常快速和短暂所以

你不会相信发生在我身上

的例子那天

我遇到了我的前老板，否则你不会

相信的前几天发生在我身上的事

我绊倒并从楼梯上摔下来

否则你不会相信前

几天我发生了什么事我得到了一只新

鹦鹉

确定我不知道也许你们中的一个人可以

用这个猜猜是什么下一个短语

很短下一个短语就像一个

感叹号，所以是一个激动的陈述和

一个问题猜是什么猜是什么所以

猜是什么邀请听众

猜你发生了什么是

完整的问题是什么

猜猜发生了什么或猜猜发生了什么对我来说，

但我们只说猜测什么，所以猜测什么

，有时听者猜测，

有时听者只是说什么，

通常听者只是说什么，

所以意思是你应该继续讲故事，

所以如果你说猜猜我辞掉了工作

或猜猜是什么我看到我最好的朋友和

一个我以前没见过的新人在一起

另一个例子猜猜我买

了什么新车 ssion 是我还没有

告诉你这件事我还没有告诉

你这件事所以还没有变成

我还没有告诉你这

件事所以也许你告诉过你已经告诉了

其他人但是这个具体的人，

也许你还没有告诉那个人你的

消息或一些信息，

但这意味着你打算或者你

想告诉他们，所以这

有点悬念我还

没有告诉你，所以我们可以用

这个就像我还没有告诉你

这个我明年夏天要去法国或者我

还没有告诉你但是我

昨晚和我的男朋友分手了或者

我还没有告诉你这个但是

这个周末我要为我的同事举办一个

盛大的聚会，你能举出其他例子

吗？告诉过你这件事我

听说公司要破产了哦

也不是真的好吧所以这些是

pretty juicy juicy gossip 这是

我们使用的表达方式我们说 juicy gossip

是一种非常非常

有趣的八卦或

关于人的非常有趣的故事我们说

juicy gossip 因为你

听说过下一个表达方式是你

听说过 blah blah blah have 你

听说过可以跟一个名词

短语你听说过一个人你

可以使用一个人或者你听说过

一种情况你可以同时使用你可以使用

一个物体 - 所以你听说过

新 iPhone 或者你听说过关于

新的办公室政策，您几乎可以将其用于

您想

告知听众的任何事情，因此您是否听说

过通常很快就会说出来

您是否听说过所以U变

短了-是的，您听说

过您听说过泡沫吗等等，

你听说过新秘书

吗？你听说过我们的新老板

吗？先生，你听说过我的同事

辞职了吗？你听说过

我们上面的邻居吗？ hey’re move so you

can use people here for a gossip

expression or you can use objects in

this expression 只是为了介绍

一些新的非常有用的短语

你听说过我的妈妈吗对不起妈妈我不

知道你为什么进入那个

所以前几天下一个表情

有点像故事的开头所以

也许这可能是八卦也许它

可能只是一个故事，

有趣或无聊的

事情发生在你身上

day so the other

day the other day 这里的意思不是今天

那天我正

坐在办公室的办公桌前，我的经理

来了，

如果他能跟我说话吗？

和联合国前

总统国家

进入汽车租赁店，一切都好，所以

前几天就在过去的某一天，

所以我正在和下一个交谈，下一个

你有时可以用来八卦，

但你也可以用来制定计划

，所以我正在和某人和

bla bla bla 所以我在和

某人交谈意味着您

在另一个时间与一个人进行对话，

并且您想报告

信息或

与现在正在听的人分享该对话中的某些内容，

所以我可能会说我在说话和

Risa 一起，我认为我们应该

在这个周末计划一个聚会，你觉得怎么样，

所以我和我的团队讨论了这个问题

，我认为我们应该做出一些

改变，这样就可以在

日常工作中使用这

句话，但是你也可以用它来

八卦，就像我和我最好的

朋友聊天，我想我要搬家了，或者我

在和我父母聊天，我认为

我们分手是最好的，哦，所以

它可以用于计划八卦可以是

f 或者只是任何对话加上

报告下一个表达方式

有点神秘，

然后表达方式就是怎么回事 bla bla

bla 通常是八卦的人怎么了

意思就像这里的细微差别

似乎有一些问题

就像这个

人有问题他们不开心他们很伤心

他们很生气某种负面

情绪我们使用它所以这就像

史蒂文斯怎么了我最近没有收到他

的消息你哥哥怎么了他

似乎真的很沮丧或者

你的邻居怎么了他为什么这么吵或者

你的老板怎么了他那么严格

所以

听起来有问题我们通常用

这种语调what’s up what’s up

with none来介绍

有问题的人我们没有说这是怎么

回事不是那种 hello um

表达它是一个它是一个问题的表达

你也可以使用一个

不是一个人的名词短语就像

这个新办公室政策的情况一样

或者这个新规则在工作中是怎么回事，或者这家餐厅菜单上的这个新项目是怎么回事，这非常奇怪，所以哇哇哇有什么负面的细微差别，你可以用它来让人们谈论奇怪的行为怎么了up with you 你最近听说过吗下一个表达是你最近听说过 blah blah blah 你最近从某人那里听说过你最近从 steven 那里听说过吗我没见过他你最近从你妈妈那里听说过你从你的妈妈那里听说过吗爸爸最近你有没有收到你兄弟的消息最近有没有收到你房东的消息我不知道为什么你收到了你房东的消息但你最近有没有听到某人的消息有点像对你的期望与这句话中涉及的人联系就像你有一些关系也许是家庭关系浪漫关系职业关系和这个人有一些关系最近就像您

最近在过去几周的最后几天里有没有收到他们的消息，

所以

您可以使用它，例如，如果您正在

寻找某人或您

担心某人您可以在这里

使用它您也可以使用它只是为了在

不直接询问其他人的情况下查看其他人

，例如如果我

想询问我在我的示例中使用的是 risa

如果我想询问 Risa 怎么样

但我不想问，Risa 是我们的日本频道主持人丽莎我知道

她可能很忙，或者我不知道出于

某种原因我很喜欢和她说话我可以

像同事一样问我会说嘿

你最近有没有听说

她似乎真的很忙或者你

听说过从某某最近看来

他们很忙，所以如果我想问

另一个/

罪，但我不想打扰这个

人，或者某事让

我很难使用，你最近有没有收到

bla bla bla 或者最近要

问他们非常有用的短语我要

告诉你关于

下一个表达啊下一个表达

是我必须告诉你关于 blah blah

blah 我必须告诉你所以必须

成为 hafta 我必须告诉你

它有一个很好的 hmmmmm 声音我必须

告诉你关于 papa bah 或者我必须

告诉你一些事情

所以我必须告诉你我的周末我

必须告诉你斯蒂芬斯我

必须告诉你我妈妈我必须告诉

你我男朋友她是怎么告诉

你我女朋友的，

不管有人在

结束时使用了什么这句话创造了一种细微差别，

就像有关于那个人的令人兴奋的消息，

或者我必须告诉你

发生的这件事你可以

在句末使用一个情况，

但你在这句话的开头使用我必须

这样这

听起来真的很重要我

觉得这很重要我有

责任告诉你因为这

太令人兴奋了当然你可以

在更无聊的情况下使用它

就像我必须告诉你关于新

办公室政策你可以使用它这样

机智语调很平，但出于

八卦的目的，我必须告诉你

关于爸爸的事，这听起来真的很好，所以

你有什么要告诉别人的

我必须告诉你这个

我对企业的新想法，或者我必须告诉

你关于昨晚发生在我身上的事情

好的，所以有这些非常令人兴奋的

方式，我们可以介绍

发生的事情，或者我们可以谈论

某人和任何人与某人

任何人和每个人之间的区别让我们

开始看看这些词的含义

以及我们如何使用它们好吧让我们

从某人开始如果您在我们的频道上看过视频谈论

，那么您可以记住某人中的

某人，任何人和任何人都遵循

与某些人非常相似的

规则 t some and any 也许你

还

记得我将在这里解释的内容，你也可以

查看该视频以

获取有关这些语法点的一些额外信息，

所以让我们从某人和某人开始，

我们在积极的陈述中使用某人和某人，

所以一个简单的

陈述不是换句话说，

当我们做一个积极的陈述时，我们

在那个句子结构中使用某人和某人，

我们也在请求和提议中使用这两个词，

所以请记住

这是两类问题，

所以请求问题或提议问题

让我们现在看看一些例子，

首先有人

在办公室

所以这里我选择了

有人在办公室有人这是一个积极的

陈述所以不是一个问题只是一个

陈述这是一个积极的这里下一个

例子你能派人来帮助我

你可以派人来帮助我这是

一个请求所以一个特定类型的问题

一个请求问题你可以派人

来帮助我第三个例子 senten ce 是

一个提议，你想和

某人交谈你想和某人交谈，

所以在这里我们有请求提供

积极的陈述，我们可以

在每个例子中使用某人或某人，所以

我在这里使用了某人某人，

但实际上我们可以将

每个选项更改为另一个选项

在每个示例句子中都很好我稍后会

更多地讨论 one 和 buddy 之间的区别，

但是让我们继续讨论

任何人和任何人之间的区别，好吧，所以这个

是某人和某人之间的一个关键区别

any 和任何人这

用于否定陈述这些用于

否定陈述某人

用于肯定陈述所以这

与否定陈述中的 some and any so 遵循相同的规则

，我们使用 any

和 any 在信息问题中，

这意味着不要求不提供，

但您正在寻找某种

信息，我们在这些情况下使用任何人和任何人，

所以让我们看看先举几个

例子我认为没有

人在办公室不要认为

任何人在办公室所以这里我们

使用了任何人因为它是负面的

这是我的负面它在不所以

不在这里这是我的否定

因此我在这里使用了任何人

一个例句一个问题

这次有人在这里看到我的钥匙我

用过任何人我用过这个因为这

是一个信息问题我正在

寻找一些我不知道的信息 t have now

这不是请求它不是要约

所以我不应该使用某人或某人我

需要使用任何人或任何人我

正在寻找信息第三个

例句是相同的为什么没有

人在这里回复我的电话

在这种情况下，任何人和我都在寻找信息

为什么这是为什么问题所以再次

不是请求不是要约我

正在寻找新的东西我正在寻找

信息所以我应该再次使用任何人

就像我所说的那样关于与某人和

某人我可以改变这个任何

人任何人任何人都可以在

这里使用另一个词

例如任何人

是一个关键的

区别，好吧，但是让我们现在

继续讨论每个人和每个人，

这将

与某人和任何人产生一种不同的规则，

我们使用每个人和每个人来指代

与某种情况或

与某个群体相关的所有人，所以这可能意味着一个

班级，它可能意味着办公室中的每个人

，也可能意味着一个国家的一个城市，

所以它只取决于群体

或

我们在谈论

与该群体或相关的所有人相关时使用这个词的情况对于这种

情况所以让我们看一些例子

好吧第一个我们班的

每个人都毕业了所以这里我们班的每个人都

毕业了是指

我们班的所有人所以每个人

在这种情况下，那群人中的那群人就是

班级，所以班里的所有人都是

另一个例子，很

高兴在聚会上见到每个人，所以

这里的每个人再次向我们展示所有人，这

可能是一次班级聚会，也可能是一次

家庭聚会，公司聚会，所以这

只是意味着很高兴见到所有
