ENGLISH IN 5 MINUTES Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone Breadwinner And Generalize
hey i’m teacher tiffany and i’m ready to
teach you some new english words and
expressions now
remember all of these words and
expressions come from today’s podcast
episode
the speak english with tiffany podcast
so after you learn the words and
expressions
you can click the link in the
description to listen to the podcast
episode alright here we go our first
expression our first idiom actually is
step out of your comfort zone
one more time after me step out of
your comfort zone good job now
what does this actually mean to step out
of your comfort zone
so this is an idiom and it means to do
something
new that scares you or makes you
nervous in order to grow so
let me explain a situation that really
matches this idiom
now i lived in south korea for 10 years
but prior to going to south korea i had
never
lived abroad my comfort zone
was america where my family and friends
lived
but i decided that i wanted to be a
missionary i decided to leave my family
and friends to go to another country
so i stepped out of my comfort zone
make sense nice you got it so again
after me
step out of your comfort zone
good job now number two here we go the
next one is
bread winner
bread winner don’t worry it’s not about
food
one more time after me bread winner
good job now what does this actually
mean let’s see again so
breadwinner is a very popular word used
in
english now breadwinner is the person
usually only one who earns the money to
support
their family or household so remember i
said it’s not about food
it’s actually the person that brings
home the money
that’s right the person that works the
most and brings home the money
to prepare food to buy food and buy
things that are necessary for a family
so we say bread winner
good job all right now our third one
this one is also a very good one and
it’s important for you to know
generalize good job now for
pronunciation again
generalize good now
generalize is something that you may
have heard before but i want to make
sure you understand the meaning it’s a
verb right
it means to make a broad statement
or assumption about a whole group
of people again to make a broad
statement or assumption
about a whole group of people we say to
generalize
so for example i am an african-american
woman i’m very proud of my culture
but when i went overseas i realized that
there are individuals who have other
views
of african americans right because of
movies or because of maybe television
programs
they think that all black people all
african americans are one way so when i
went to korea for example
and i met a korean on the street they
immediately had
a view i had an opinion of me as a black
woman
because of what they saw in a movie or
on a television program
now i was fine i had good experiences in
korea
but many of my students would say oh we
thought
all black people da da da for example
we thought all black people uh were
athletic or
could dance or could sing now it is true
many of us can sing and dance
but that was a generalization right
they generalized or they made an
assumption about an entire group of
people
remember we’re all different so does
that kind of make sense
to generalize i think you got it so
again let’s go back over again what we
learned here we go
the first one was the first one the
idiom you got it
step out of your comfort zone was the
second one
nice the money bringing the money home
you got it
bread winner and finally we learned
