Learn Vocabulary Through Conversation FEELING Advanced English Lesson
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm and I’m Dan and today we’re
gonna talk about the word feeling deeply
are you ready ready
let’s go today we’re gonna talk about
four ways to use the word feeling and if
you enjoy today’s vocabulary video with
Dan feel free to enjoy and learn with
our one our vocabulary lesson every
month in the fearless fluency Club
there’s a just a link in the description
and let’s start with our first way
feeling yes so I wouldn’t know when you
were a kid did you ever go to hands-on
museum a hands-on Museum maybe once or
twice okay well can you describe what a
hands-on museum is well basically at a
hands-on museum you go and feel a lot of
things so you go to one area and you get
to touch and feel different materials
and different tools and you get to
animals yeah you and you get to
experience the feeling of a lot of
different things yeah so you already
used the definition of the word feel the
first definition which is to touch and
you can use these pretty much in the
same situation I like to feel the soft
fur on my cat I like to touch the soft
fur yeah I’d like to feel the texture
yeah I would say touching is quicker
okay maybe that’s a difference yeah so
if you touch something it could be for
one second it could be longer but
feeling is more touching a lot of it
yeah for a longer period and getting a
better understanding of how something
feels physically great so this is
probably the definition of feel that you
learned in school or the most general
idea but let’s talk about the second one
and take it up to the next level hmm
I want to know Dan how are you feeling
today how am I feeling well today I feel
pretty good
pretty good today yeah pretty good not
great but you know I feel okay why don’t
you feel great today no it’s just a day
just a day okay that’s fair enough
so yeah obviously in this sense we’re
talking about emotional feelings yeah or
internal feelings so I feel good today I
don’t feel great but I feel good okay
that’s fine just a normal day people
asked me this a lot how are you feeling
when I was pregnant because you feel a
lot of different ways you might feel
anxious or feel excited or feel sick how
are you feeling so that’s just a really
basic question but I recommend when you
greet someone unless they look like
they’re not feeling great maybe don’t
start with this question
instead of saying oh hey how are you
doing today don’t say hey how are you
feeling yeah it’s a little too personal
you think yeah how are you doing is more
common yeah I think that’s more common
so if you want to ask how are you
feeling maybe that’s better as a third
question or fourth questions deeper it’s
more about your emotions so Dan who do
you think is gonna win your hockey game
next week mm-hmm I have a feeling we’re
gonna win oh really why it’s just a
feeling do you see his gesture here just
a feeling
just a feeling so his shoulders are
moving and that’s really common when you
don’t really know you’re not certain you
can’t say we will win but you just have
a feeling you have an idea it’s a
possibility so maybe you look outside
and say oh I have a feeling it’s gonna
rain later this afternoon because it’s
cloudy a little dark kind of windy so
you have a feeling you have an idea and
this is the full expression I have a
night I have a feeling I have an idea
but you can also use it in another way
that’s similar dan already used this
it’s just a feeling how do you know it’s
just a feeling yeah it’s just a feeling
yeah some and of story yeah into the
story you don’t want to talk about it so
maybe someone
gives you a present for your birthday
and you look at it and it looks like a
book it feels like a book and you say I
think it’s a book yeah and your friend
says hey how do you know and you can say
it’s just a feeling I don’t really know
but it’s really literally by feeling -
yeah you can feel the book and say it’s
just a feeling so that’s the way to
combine both of these but let’s talk
about the final way a special idiom
mm-hmm so Vanessa can you tell me what
you did the other weekend well I went to
a new kind of yoga class I went to a
mama baby yoga class where you bring
your baby to the yoga class and everyone
there has a baby and I tried to do yoga
but I didn’t really know what it was
gonna be like because our baby’s still
pretty young and unpredictable so I
wanted to just go and feel it out and
see what happened and it was pretty good
I think it wasn’t completely successful
because he wanted to be carried a lot
and he wanted to be fed so I was a
little bit distracted but it was a
pretty good experience overall so do you
think you’ll do it again
I think I’ll wait maybe a couple months
until he’s a little bit older but it was
pretty cool I’d say yeah so if you
noticed she used the term feel it out
yes and this means to try something to
get used to it so in this case she
wanted to go to yoga and just try it so
in order to try it if you want to say
that you’re really practicing you could
say feel it out
which means find out how it feels what
it looks like how it smells in there
every aspect not the situation I would
say also that we often use feel it out
especially as a full expression it’s
almost always together with kids feel it
out I went to yoga class and I wanted to
feel it out and now it’s your turn to
use this expression yes we want to know
in the comments what is something you
have a feeling will happen in the next
year
let us now use this expression or use
the other ways of using the word feeling
use this as much as you can and thanks
