whenever i’m ready

all right hi everybody welcome back to

top words my name is alicia and today

we’re going to be talking about 10 words

for connecting thoughts these are going

to be 10 words that you can use to

transition between ideas very useful in

both speech and in writing let’s

go

also

also also is a word that you can use to

add information

i went to the store this morning also i

went and got coffee

that’s true

however

however however is used to contrast or

to contrast depending on your

pronunciation to

differentiate to show a difference

between two pieces of information a good

pattern would be a however

b so

for example

i love tonkotsu ramen however it is very

high in calories so i don’t eat it often

also true on the other hand on the other

hand on the other hand is i feel used

more commonly in speech than it is in

writing um again it’s used to present

like two sides to a story or two sides

to some information so for example

i’m thinking about visiting taiwan

sometime this year but on the other hand

i’m also thinking about visiting

thailand

still

so it might be common to use still with

the word like but or a word like even

though so you’re saying even though

there’s some other factor like like i’m

really really tired this week or even

though i have a lot of homework to do i

still want to go out with my friends or

i still want to

see a movie this weekend so there’s this

other there’s this thing that’s maybe

makes this other action difficult to do

or tough to do or whatever

but even though

there’s this you still have this over

here so maybe the two are kind of used

as a pair i still want to go out later

even though i’m tired

then

then yes a very useful word we use then

when telling stories a lot um so for

example if i could tell a story about my

morning today when i got up i

brushed my teeth and then

i

cooked breakfast then i did a little bit

of work then i took a shower

then i did some cooking blah blah blah

you’ll often hear and then as well and

then i and then we and then you and so

on so then is is really really useful

for sequencing so a useful word i think

besides besides so it’s commonly used in

a pattern like besides that meaning

other than something else i went out

with my friends this weekend but besides

that i didn’t really do much so

another way to say that sentence is i

went out with my friends this weekend

but other than that other than that

activity i didn’t do very much

okay meanwhile meanwhile or you might

hear the similar expression in the

meantime it means

while you’re doing action a at the same

times maybe somewhere else action b is

happening this is used while telling

stories a lot so for example i was

working at my office all week last week

meanwhile my co-workers across town were

having a party without me

so these two things are happening at the

same time

but maybe separate from one another

meanwhile

likewise

okay likewise i don’t really use this

word personally myself at all it’s often

used after an introduction

similar to the pleasure is all mine in a

formal situation so

maybe somebody

says you know hey it was really great to

see you last weekend thanks very much

for coming to my barbecue you can say

yeah likewise it was really good to see

you in your family so likewise means i

have the same feeling or i have the same

idea it’s kind of a friendly phrase but

personally i don’t really use that to

transition between thoughts

um i would just use and i suppose but no

that’s how i would use it

instead

instead so

so instead it’s used like instead of i

want to

a instead of be

can be used to express your plans or

what you want to do i want to have

chinese food instead of italian food

tonight so you’re presenting two

alternatives essentially so instead of

means in place of or as a substitute for

so

i

should have drank a lot of water

this morning but instead i drank a lot

of coffee

that’s true

uh i wanted to

have dinner with my friends this weekend

instead i had dinner at home

in addition in addition this is a really

good word for more formal situations i

like to use in addition

in writing i don’t really use in

addition in speaking unless i’m trying

to be very formal for some reason

similar to additionally as well so you

make point a and point b and then when

you want to make one more point that’s

related to point a and point b you can

say in addition point c so you’re like

building an argument and in addition can

be used to kind of finish that argument

off a little bit our new marketing plan

worked really well last month we noticed

increased sales in product a in addition

uh we’ve gained a lot of new customers

something like that so just you’re

you’re quickly presenting a series of

ideas that are related to one another

you can use in addition to finish it off

all right so that’s the end of 10 words

for connecting thoughts i hope you get

to use a lot of these try to mix it up

it’s good to use a variety of different

words thanks very much for watching this

episode and we will see you again next

time for more fun stuff bye

[Music]

whenever i’m ready all right welcome

back to weekly words i’m alicia and this

week

we’re going to talk about commonly

mispronounced mispronounced wow

this week we’re going to talk about

commonly mispronounced words words that

are often pronounced incorrectly

this is funny i enjoy mispronouncing

this first word the first word is

hyperbole hyperbole um it’s not

hyperbole though it does sound very

funny to say that

hyperbole just means to exaggerate

something um or to make to blow

something up make it really extreme my

friend uses a lot of hyperbole when she

talks about her life stories i really

don’t think some of those things happen

to her

hyperbole not hyperbole

next

antarctic

not

ah

oh i see antarctic is the correct

pronunciation of this word some people

say

and and tart antarctic

really oh i guess when you’re saying

this word quickly you might leave out

that first sea in the antarctic

so don’t say that don’t do that say

antarctic

the the very very cold region the arctic

is the north cold region on the planet

earth the south is the ant arctic

there’s sort of like almost a hiccup in

the word they’re antarctic

oh

uh in a sentence i’m thinking about

taking a cruise to the antarctic what do

you think i need

a penguin suit etc not etc oh yeah okay

i’ve heard i hear this ek x thing a lot

etc is just used at the end of a list to

imply that you mean other things

so the list is not

exclusive to the things that you’ve

listed other things can also be included

in it so in a sample sentence

types of fruits are apples oranges

peaches etc

there are others as well so don’t say

etc that’s not correct etc it’s good

the next word is jewelry

what not mones

the next word is jewelry jewelry i think

i’m probably guilty of this

mispronunciation i can’t say that word

mispronunciation

where the word kind of gets a little bit

smushed together uh and we say jewelry

instead we miss that that second e sound

in there it should be jew ellery uh in a

sample sentence maybe you would say i’m

shopping for some jewelry for my mother

for her birthday

jewelry we’re too lazy

prescription

not

prescription

okay a prescription is something that a

doctor gives you when you’re sick and

you require medicine the doctor will

write you a prescription some people

might say

prescription wow okay i didn’t even

notice and i was doing it while i was

telling you guys not to do it that’s

embarrassing

prescription a doctor writes you a

prescription not a prescription

uh when you go to the doctor’s office

the doctor might say here is your

prescription

end all right well we’ve learned that i

apparently can’t pronounce some words

the way that they’re meant to be

pronounced so please work on your

pronunciation i will work on my

pronunciation too thank you for joining

us on weekly words this week i will see

you next time bye bye

welcome back to weekly words my name is

alicia and this week we’re going to talk

about commonly quoted movie lines ooh

i hope i know these i’ll be back a lot

of people like to try and do an arnold

schwarzenegger impression this comes

from the movie terminator where arnold

schwarzenegger plays a robot from the

future and it’s really awesome you can

use this with your friends you can use

this in in common everyday situations

where you have to leave some place but

you want to tell people in a kind of a

funny way that you plan on coming back

you can say i’ll be back inconceivable

say this with a lisp inconceivable if

you have seen the movie the princess

bride inconceivable so to conceive of

something something you can think about

um putting that in

uh at the beginning of the word means

can’t con are not able to conceive of

something you can’t even think about it

you can’t believe it in other words this

is one word that means i can’t believe

it or this is just ridiculous so you can

use this anytime you’re just shocked by

something you just can’t believe that

something is happening you can say

inconceivable this is a very good one a

recent one from the movie anchorman will

ferrell says this he says i immediately

regret this decision i immediately

regret this decision it’s a very long

phrase

but it means you’ve just made a choice

and you very quickly immediately

realized this was a bad decision i

should not have done this you can say i

immediately regret this decision but

with kind of like a flat tone to it

it’s a little bit funny okay next is a

very famous quote from the movie forrest

gump tom hanks was in this movie his

character famously says mama always said

life was like a box of chocolates the

next line is you never know what you’re

gonna get so this refers to picking a

piece of chocolate out of a box of

chocolates uh maybe you’ve seen kind of

the fancy ones that have a number of

different styles of chocolate in them

when you bite into it oftentimes you

don’t know what’s on the inside so the

character is saying that life is like

that too you might try to do a few

different things but you never know

what’s going to happen until you

actually try to do it so this is an

interesting phrase to use maybe if your

friend is having trouble in their life

in some way you can maybe try to console

them or cheer them up by saying mama

always said life was like a box of

chocolates the next quote comes from the

movie apollo 13 a very famous space

movie the quote is houston we have a

problem houston refers to the control

center nasa’s control center and the

astronaut is famously quoted as saying

we have a problem

anytime you run across a problem

at work or with your friends with your

family whatever you can say houston we

have a problem meaning you’re just

trying to alert the other people around

you that something is wrong you need

help with something perhaps

so

it’s usually not a very serious problem

though i should say that so don’t use it

for like a medical emergency use it for

something you know like oh i’m out of

eggs houston we have a problem you know

if you’re cooking something very very

light-hearted is good and that’s the end

of some famous movie quotes so try to

use a few of these if you like they’re

kind of fun and if you use them with the

right timing they can be very very funny

and people will generally appreciate

that you use such interesting references

in your conversation uh thanks very much

for joining us this week and we’ll see

you again next time bye here’s looking

at you

kid what does that even mean though

a classic goodbye line kind of

welcome back to weekly words i’m alicia

and this week we are going to do

words with strange plural forms this is

good practice i bet let’s start yeah

antenna the plural form of antenna is

antennae i think i would say antennae

antennae

i think i probably actually just say

antennas

an antenna on an old tv set for example

would be it would kind of look like this

we’d call it bunny ears where you had to

adjust the bunny ears you had to just

adjust the antennae to make the signal

on your tv come in more clearly bugs

they have antennae from their heads the

next word is millennium the plural is

millennia a millennium is a period of a

thousand years a thousand years is a

millennium a series of thousands of

years would be called millennia you

might say

many millennia have passed since the

earth

was formed

cactus

is the next word a cactus is a plant uh

these are the arms of the cactus i

couldn’t make the trunk of the cactus

wow

you can put a picture on the screen

instead of my amazing

cactus the plural of cactus is cacti or

cactuses i think i’m more inclined to

say cacti so when you go to the desert

you might say keep an eye out for cacti

if you step on one it could really hurt

you

the next one is an interesting one i

don’t think i’ve ever used this word in

the singular like if you have a swimming

pool or if you’ve seen a pond or

whatever it’s that green sort of scummy

stuff that accumulates on top of it or

on the sides of your pool if you haven’t

cleaned it in a while algae bacterias

and things that like to live in the

water there’s a singular form and i’m

just i’m looking at it for the first

time i don’t know how alga to use the

plural then you would say i need to

clean my pool there’s a lot of algae in

it

yeah

next is ox ox uh the plural of ox is

oxen

these animals used to be used for

farming i don’t know that they are very

much anymore i don’t have much personal

experience with farming um but they’re

they look like really really big cows

with huge horns huge horns yeah okay

next is the end uh

plural words that have weird plural

forms so please keep them in mind when

you are

trying to use them in conversation and

use the correct form of the plural thank

you for joining us again this week for

weekly words next time we will see you

for more weekly words that was weird

we’ll see you again next week for more

fun information take care bye

oh no

all right welcome back to weekly words

my name is alicia and this week we are

going to talk about commonly used

onomatopoeia this is going to be a fun

one we talked briefly about an

onomatopoeia zoom

in a previous episode of weekly words

we’re going to talk some more about some

more talk some more about some more

we’re going to talk about more today the

first word is beep oh

beep beep is any kind of electronic

sound or a car sound and was also in a

popular american cartoon wiley coyote

and the roadrunner the roadrunner would

commonly say meat meat a car sound will

usually make a beep or a honk sound for

electronics however the beep becomes a

little bit more robotic we’ll often see

like beep beep beep beep beep

so in a sentence let’s say you have a

computer problem you tell your friend

the computer won’t stop beeping at me

what do i do next is the sound jingle

jingle is any kind of light ringing

sound this word gets used a lot uh in

holiday seasons particularly christmas

thanksgiving new year’s any jingling

sound is um very commonly assigned to

bells like the song jingle bells for

example is a perfect example of this

jingle is just the sound that a bell

makes in a sentence let’s see you might

say she has a

small bell attached to her phone so she

jingles everywhere she walks it’s really

irritating

okay the next word is thump a thump is

for something to hit heavily to give an

example the people who live in the

apartment above me often thump on the

floor it sounds like maybe they’re

dropping something heavy or

they’re stepping very heavily all right

next is splash anything that falls into

liquid lands in liquid makes a splash

it’s that

sort of sound that comes from water or

any other liquid really we refer to that

as a splash sound there is also a

popular tom hanks mermaid movie called

splash

this has nothing to do with that about

him falling in love with a mermaid i

made a big splash when i jumped into the

swimming pool this summer that has kind

of a double meaning

oh mysterious next is blurt it means to

say something quickly i blurted out the

news as soon as i heard it like i

blurted out the secret i couldn’t hold

it any longer it means you just say

something without thinking to blurt the

first part of the word what that blur

sound it sounds like something is just

kind of

sort of slips out on accident and then

the harsh

blurt

the t at the end is like a kind of a

final like oh my gosh i’ve just said

something i’ve slipped and then i’ve

said something oh no i didn’t think

about that all right that’s the end of

that one so i hope you learned a few new

onomatopias that you can try out next

time thanks for joining us for weekly

words and i will see you again next time

bye-bye

hi

hey and welcome back to weekly words my

name is alicia and this week we’re going

to talk about interjections this is

going to be fun let’s start the first

word is ba b-a-h

maybe you’re upset about something or

you’re tired of dealing with something

people will often throw up their hands

like this when they say they’ll go ba

and walk away bo humbug is a very very

well-known

use of this interjection is from uh the

story a christmas carol one of the

characters says bah humbug at all these

things that upset him

all right the next interjection is aha

is used whenever you feel surprised

about something or when you have a good

idea about something for example sitting

at work

actually maybe you shouldn’t do this at

work because your co-workers will think

you’re crazy if you’re feeling really

excited about your idea you can go like

this with your finger and go aha i have

an idea for my presentation next week

okay

the next one is meh this one i think has

only become popular in the last i don’t

know it started being used i think it

started more on the internet and now it

has come to be used in everyday life

that is just when you’re you’re not very

excited about something um maybe you

went to a party your friend asks you how

it was and you’re like yeah i went it

was pretty meh we use it like an

adjective actually or you can just use

it as a one word interjection meh meh

meh

okay the next word is oh oh is a very

very useful one you can use o in a

number of situations when you’re

surprised when you’re thinking of

something when you want to have kind of

a soft introduction to whatever you’re

saying i think i tend to use it as a

question or when i’m feeling surprised

so when my friend tells me something

like oh hey i have this great news i’ll

say oh just by itself as a question to

get somebody’s attention i might say oh

did you see that new movie last week a

sentence starter for me anyway okay the

next word is hmm

we use

when we’re thinking about something when

we need a minute to consider our

thoughts it can be used at the beginning

of a sentence or just while you’re

thinking on its own hmm what might be a

good example sentence for hmm

and

end those are all

interjections those are all

interjections try to use them if you use

these correctly in your speech

throughout your speech it’ll help you to

sound a lot more natural and a lot more

smooth

in your speaking ability so give them a

try thanks again for joining us this

week and i will see you next time for

more weekly words bye begin hi everybody

welcome back to weekly words my name is

alicia and this week we’re going to look

at some common english idioms let’s

begin the first word or phrase rather is

about to about to means you’re going to

start something you’re going to begin

doing something for example i’m about to

start explaining this idiom to you hey

hey

okay the next word or phrase idiom the

next idiom is by the way the word here

they’ve used is incidentally it’s a way

to transition to another topic that’s

related to what you’re talking about for

example this week i’m going to a party

by the way did you hear about the party

happening next week so they’re somewhat

related

okay uh the next idiom is in a way in a

way

this is kind of in a way it was a good

thing that the burrito shop was closed

because otherwise i would have eaten way

too much and you can use this to show

that there are maybe two sides to a

situation maybe some things are negative

maybe some things are positive next is

on the other hand i hear this a lot on

the other hand is a way of just saying

however or to share two different sides

to a story for example i think my

co-worker is really irritating on the

other hand at parties he’s really funny

so you can show two maybe different

sides to a point with this phrase next

is a matter of fact as a matter of fact

as an idiom this is a long way to just

say actually or really it’s a little bit

more formal sounding so you might use it

in a business meeting for example

everybody at the business meeting might

feel a little bit unsure about the

previous month’s sales

and you can begin your presentation by

saying something like i know everybody

was a little bit unsure about last

week’s or last month’s sales performance

but as a matter of fact things improved

and that’s the end those are some common

idioms that you might hear in english

give them a try they’re pretty useful

and you might hear a lot of them in

conversation thanks very much for

joining us this week and we’ll see you

again next time for more information bye

hi welcome back to weekly words my name

is alicia and this week we’re going to

talk about ways to say hi this should be

fun let’s get started first is yo

this one is a little bit casual in case

you couldn’t tell used for close friends

maybe family members if you have kind of

a silly relationship with them just

quick short easy to do in a sentence yo

how’s it going howdy howdy uh

traditionally associated with cowboy

culture i suppose you should play a

banjo maybe or you’ve just gotten off a

horse i don’t know i use howdy from time

to time howdy howdy howdy howdy

that’s my banjo

yeah in a sentence you might say

howdy folks

welcome to the

barbecue place

next is hey

hey is good friendly phrase you can

usually use hey with a wave and smile

look happy if you don’t people might

think that you’re down in the dumps

people might think you’re not in a very

good mood in a sentence hey

uh i heard you got engaged last week

congratulations something like that it’s

usually kind of a cheery happy

expression all right next is what’s up

uh what’s up is the long form of sup

this does not literally mean what is

above you right now if you want to be

funny you can say the ceiling or the sky

but that joke gets old really fast and

chances are the person you’re talking to

has already heard it before it just

means what are you up to what is going

on with you in a sentence what’s up did

you have a good weekend typical response

to what’s up is not much find out some

more responses in english in three

minutes we did an episode on this

nothing much how about you that’s pretty

good pretty good pretty good pretty good

[Laughter]

i don’t know what i’m doing the next one

is long time no see you can use this

when you haven’t seen the other person

for a long time you’re at a party or an

event or whatever any time it’s been a

long break you can decide how long long

is not the day before or the week before

maybe a few weeks or a month whatever is

unusual for you and this other person

when you see them you can say hey long

time no see how have you been uh that’s

the end so those are a few different

ways to say hi in a few different

situations i hope that you have a chance

to try them out the next time you meet

someone or you greet someone thanks very

much for joining us this week and we’ll

see you again soon bye

instead of saying sup i like to say soup

soup

hi everybody welcome back to top words

my name is alicia and today we’re going

to be talking about 10 different phrases

that you can use to respond to the

question how are you so let’s go i’m

great

the first phrase is i’m great if someone

says how are you you can say i’m great

try to say i’m great with a kind of an

upbeat voice

so something like how are you i’m great

i’m feeling bad

i’m feeling bad if you say i’m feeling

bad the other person is probably if

they’re a friend of yours or a co-worker

going to ask you why what happened so if

you want to use i’m feeling bad make

sure you have an explanation ready

anyway somebody says how are you and you

go i’m feeling bad

maybe i went out for drinks last night

with my co-workers oops i’m okay

i’m okay i feel like this is one of

those intonation practice ones i’m okay

with that ah i’m okay it’s like sort of

upward intonation you’re like cool but

if someone says how are you and you’re

like i’m okay

they’re like oh no

what happened

so you can use your intonation with i’m

okay to make it a good thing or another

good thing but either way it’s not like

a very super serious response thank you

for asking yeah

i imagine this would be in a more formal

situation like if my friend said to me

how are you

and i was like thank you for asking

they’d be like

what i would say i’m fine or i’m doing

well i’m doing great plus thank you for

asking so

how are you i’m doing very well thank

you um oh that’s how i would use it

and you the next one is and you like the

least natural response to how are you is

i’m fine thank you and you like just get

out of put it just take it out of your

head nobody says that i always say how

about you that’s a much more natural

thing how are you

how are you how are you can be a

response again after you have given your

answer to the question how are you

i’m great how are you how are you i’m

good how are you i’m great how are you

i’m okay how are you

how have you been recently how have you

been recently this is only useful if you

haven’t seen the other person for a

while i’m not bad i’m not bad i’m not

bad how are you i’m not bad i’m not bad

things could be worse i would probably

do this

i’m sleepy the next expression is i’m

sleepy

it’s like so specific if someone said

how are you i would probably say i’m

okay but i’m a little sleepy i don’t

know that i would just say i’m sleepy

unless it’s a really good friend of mine

it’s a person close to you you can say

i’m so tired i’m i would say i’m super

tired or i’m really tired

and i feel like that’s a little bit more

natural than just i’m sleepy i’m good

one that i use a lot if someone says how

are you i say i’m good

that’s just probably my go-to response

yeah i’m good i’m good maybe i’ll repeat

it

while smiling i’m good i’m good yeah

thanks for asking great

how are you that is the end those are 10

phrases that you can use to respond to

the question how are you if there’s one

takeaway from this and from other things

that we’ve done over the last few years

in this channel just get rid of that i’m

fine thank you and you and pick one of

these that we’ve talked about today um

of course if there’s another expression

that you use

for a response to

how are you

i’d be very interested to learn about

that but

uh in general you’re pretty safe if you

stick with these i think so thanks very

much for watching this episode of top

words and we will see you again soon bye

that means

we’re going to the

movie theater right all right uh hi

everybody my name is alicia welcome back

to top words today we’re going to be

talking about must-know expressions for

agreeing and disagreeing very useful so

let’s go

exactly exactly when you agree 100 with

something someone else has said you can

say exactly for example ramen is one of

the best foods in the world exactly i

don’t agree i don’t agree you have a

different opinion from the other person

they tell you i think that soccer is the

best sport you can say i don’t agree but

be prepared to provide your own opinion

after this i think soccer’s the best

sport i don’t agree i think that

football is

oh that could cause some problems soccer

football americans say football when we

mean american football but the rest of

the world says football when they mean

soccer

maybe maybe is when you don’t know when

you can’t make a decision or when you’re

not sure about something okay so someone

tosses you an opinion someone says their

their idea to you i think it’s gonna

rain tomorrow you can say yeah maybe you

don’t know for sure yes or no but it’s

possible it’s a good sort of in-between

expression but if you use maybe all the

time it’s going to sound really strange

and it’s going to sound like you can’t

make a decision so use maybe very

sparingly don’t use it so often maybe is

very commonly used as a soft nose it’s

up to you to figure that out among the

people that you’re talking to though do

you want to stay over my house this

weekend and maybe

i couldn’t agree with you more

you

are in complete agreement with the other

person and really want to communicate

that to them you think that what they

have just said is really really correct

super correct yes you are completely on

board with that idea you can say i

couldn’t agree with you more i couldn’t

the negative form i could not agree with

you more meaning it’s not possible that

i could agree more with what you’re

saying next week

it’s really important that we have a

barbecue because summer is ending and

then your friend can say i couldn’t

agree more that’s a fantastic idea i’ll

buy

steak

i think we’re going to have to agree to

disagree agree to disagree this is a

kind of it seems like a simple phrase

agree to disagree so you’re agreeing

with the other person you agree

that we have a different opinion agree

to disagree i would use this expression

at the end of a discussion so person a

and person b have different opinions and

they’ve been discussing those opinions

for a long time and person a is not

changing his or her opinion person b is

not changing his or her opinion so you

can say at the end of the conversation

okay we have to agree to disagree let’s

just accept our different opinions and

move on in the conversation you have a

point there this is not necessarily an

agreement or disagreement phrase it’s a

small agreement within a larger

discussion so maybe you’ve been

discussing a topic for a long time and

you’ve disagreed with the other person

until this this time this person says

something and you agree with that ah you

have a point there so there’s one thing

that this person has said that you can

agree with you can say you have a point

there i think that’s correct or i agree

with that point that’s exactly how i

feel that’s exactly how i feel

meaning my feeling is the same as your

feeling or my opinion is the same as

your opinion that’s exactly how i feel

maybe you can use this if someone

describes your feeling very accurately

for example you can say i feel like the

company is really heading in a nice new

direction you can say yeah that’s

exactly how i feel i really like the new

boss i don’t think so i don’t think so

it’s

soft it’s not so direct it’s not a hard

i disagree but just i don’t think so of

course you can use it to discuss

opinions but you can also use it when

you’re making plans are you going to

that party this weekend and i don’t

think so it’s not a disagreement but it

can be used as a negation phrase a

negative

response to something when used as an

opinion i think chinese is the hardest

language to learn you can say i don’t

think so i think that arabic is the

hardest language to learn yes

you’re right yes you’re right means

you’re correct yes i agree with you i

think that’s the right information i

think that’s the correct opinion just a

very clear agreement phrase you’re right

it also has the nuance of being correct

so maybe there was

there was a possibility the other person

could be incorrect did you know that

pepperoni pizza is the most delicious

pizza in the world yes

you’re right you can change it to that’s

right for that opinion you can use your

to talk specifically about the person

itself but that’s right yes that’s right

that information is correct i guess so i

guess so it’s so it’s an agreement but

it’s sort of a flaky agreement i guess

so it’s like you don’t really want to

make a decision uh but you don’t feel

strongly in one like in agreement or

disagreement you can say i guess so it’s

usually said with this tone of voice i

guess so you know we don’t really say i

guess so generally it’s like you can’t

quite make a decision or you don’t want

to make a decision you can say i guess

so hey we’re going to go for chinese

food for dinner tonight do you want to

come yeah i guess so you don’t feel

strongly either way i guess so i’m

afraid i disagree it’s a rather polite

expression that you can use in a

business situation for example i’m

afraid here doesn’t mean i’m actually

scared or i’m really frightened but just

it’s a softener that’s used at the

beginning of sentences to introduce a

negative opinion so i’m afraid i

disagree or i’m afraid i can’t agree

with you for example i think that you

need to adopt a new policy for your

company i’m afraid i disagree it’s a

soft disagreement that sounds a bit more

formal than some of the other phrases

we’ve talked about so far absolutely

absolutely means 100 percent yes exactly

precisely definitely it’s a quick and

clear and can be polite as well as

casual

word that means you agree with the other

person hey do you want to go to the

beach this weekend yeah absolutely

absolutely

oh that’s the end

so

those are some phrases that you can use

to agree and disagree with other people

there are a lot of them so and you can

kind of mix and match them as you see

fit

so give them a try thanks very much for

watching this episode of top words and

we’ll see you again soon bye

hi everybody my name is alicia and today

i’m joined again in the studio by

michael hello hi michael thanks for

joining us again today today we’re going

to be looking at a few tips for learning

another language so each of us have

prepared a few things that we think are

really useful when learning another

language both of us have studied another

language to some degree uh so we’re

going to talk about things that were

useful for us and which might be useful

for you as you practice your english

skills so let’s begin do you want to

start

sure go for it um i would say

absorb media this is something that

actually when i meet someone and they

sound like a native english speaker and

i go you know where are you from are you

from australia america no no i’m from

blah blah blah what

you mean you’re not a native english

speaker and every single time they tell

me i said you know how did you learn

please i’m an english teacher i want to

know i want to help people blah blah

blah

and every single time they tell me oh i

just love

blah blah culture so usually i love

american culture i love justin bieber

and lady gaga blah blah blah and so all

day every day they’re reading they’re

watching movies they’re sitting on

youtube and just absorbing it and it

doesn’t feel like you’re studying but

you are

um and so then you’re more likely to

study so it’s like a fun way to study um

it’s it’s helped me i’ve changed

everything on my ipod so even when i’m

lazy i have no choice but to listen to

the language i’m learning yeah i think

that’s a really good tip i had the same

thing essentially mine was just phrased

slightly different i said find something

that interests you in your target

language so if english is your target

language whatever it might be if it’s

music if it’s movies if it’s comic books

i don’t know if it’s if you’re

interested in some dating someone who

speaks your target language whatever it

is find something to motivate you

something that’s going to make you want

to study and make you want to learn that

language so that you have that you know

that that drive to do it i totally agree

with you yeah i think it’s a great tip

okay cool so we had one thing that was

the same i guess i’ll share another one

of mine if that’s okay

um my next one

is one that i try to do myself but i

know that i i miss i mess up every once

in a while um

practice every day even if it’s just a

few minutes uh whether you can spare an

hour or two hours or just

i myself study while i’m you know

commuting to work on on the subway uh

just find something that you can do

every single day so that you don’t lose

you know lose your place in your studies

just whether it’s vocabulary or picking

a new grammar point to be looking at or

just you know finding a new phrase on tv

that you thought was interesting just

being an active learner every single day

really really contributes i think to

your abilities to speak and to

understand another language it’s just

practice every single day something

i think this is a really useful

piece of advice for anything

i think a lot of people you get

overwhelmed and you know you think man i

want to be here whether it’s exercising

or playing the piano or whatever and you

just want to finish you know a year’s

worth of time in one day and so you

study really hard you know you

procrastinate and then one day you do

you cram as much as you can you get

burnt out and then you don’t do it for

weeks months and that’s not the way

humans work we’re creatures of habit any

of the best the greatest whether they

speak a language like you is as

wonderfully as you do or whatever or

play piano or whatever

every single time you ask them and it’s

brick by brick by brick so i i agree 100

and i also don’t follow this advice all

the time it’s tough i think the key is

to not give up so for me honestly my my

languages aren’t i’m not as confident

but as far as exercise you know you’ll

get lazy and you’ll pig out and you go

down yeah but you can’t just give up and

just let it go down right just remember

the big picture that you are making

progress even if there’s some some some

decline so if you get busy with work

whatever get back on it keep practicing

yeah english get back on

englishclass101.com

[Laughter]

what is your next tip

um so my next tip is uh

also related to practice every day is

practice fearlessly so this means

you know it’s easy to learn some basic

phrases in english hello i’m fine thank

you and you and you sound like a robot

and you feel comfortable comfortable in

your little like comfort zone but you

don’t expand you got to be willing to

make mistakes and i think it’s the same

as with dancing

if you’re afraid you look stupid if

you’re you’re reserved and you’re off on

to the side of the club and you’re just

kind of moving like one shoulder in your

little comfort bubble it looks really

stupid it looks way more stupid than if

you were actually going all out and just

having fun with it yeah i think it’s the

same thing with language don’t just

stick to your little comfort of hello

i’m fine thank you and you and sound

like a robot yeah you got to have some

fun with it try to use those big words

that maybe you mess up that’s okay

that’s how you learn just like a kid

um so let’s see your other one my tip my

last tip then uh is kind of general i

guess i’ve just chosen immersion um this

doesn’t necessarily mean that you have

to go to the country you know where they

speak the language that you’re studying

but just find a way to

even if it’s just for a short period of

time every day or once a week or

whatever it is if there’s some some way

that you can immerse yourself in the

language that you’re studying for a

period of time and only study you know

spanish or only study english in your

case uh for for a period of time every

day or every week every month whatever

it is on a regular basis so you get used

to just hearing that and just

experiencing that i think is really

really helpful i think

yeah i agree um i think that’s

no no that’s not the other one um

i thought i thought i wrote it down

um yeah i agree one of the things that

uh most people don’t realize is that now

it’s the 21st century everyone’s

connected so a lot of people just assume

that if you move to the country you’re

going to pick up the language because

immersion is is one of the best most

you know time and time again proved way

proved ways to learn a language

but that’s not always the case like i

have a lot of friends in different

countries who don’t learn it at all

they’re married to a local but they just

it’s easy to just sit on facebook and

talk to your old friends and never

actually you know practice and put it

out there so um

if you can’t make it out to another

country don’t worry about it because

even if you do sometimes you know it’s

that mindset it’s actually doing it yeah

yeah i agree i agree good okay what’s

your last tip my last tip is

take grammar with a grain of salt

so of course grammar is essential for

learning a language absolutely there’s

no doubt about it you should definitely

focus on that but what i’ve found is

that when you’re learning from a

non-native english speaker

they feel safe teaching grammar because

their set rules they can teach even if

their pronunciation isn’t correct or any

of that

and

you know you you you can just get into

that rut but the reality of most

languages is we break those rules all

the time so don’t worry too much if

you’re if your grammar’s a little off or

you’re having trouble learning it just

just kind of go with it and just try to

repeat what you hear yeah i don’t know

about you though no i think that’s an

interesting point though because i think

that like you say i think grammar is a

really safe place for a lot of people

because like you say there are there are

rules it’s clear that i can see that you

know if i put a noun and a verb like

this then i’m going to make a sentence

that says this and i understand that

it’s really easy to understand but i

think that’s something that a lot of

learners and myself i’m guilty of this

too is that there’s a limit to how much

grammar that you can learn like once you

learn the grammar you’re you’ve you’ve

learned the grammar like it’s possible i

think to master the grammar of any

language but it’s the vocabulary that

continues to change every year there are

new words and every single language that

get developed people are making up new

words every day especially in english so

experiment you know once you find that

you know you’ve learned you’ve learned

the grammar

move on you know keep keep exploring new

vocabulary find new and interesting

things to do with the tools that you’ve

given yourself so don’t be afraid to

experiment with your vocabulary too if

you find something that you might like

to try to make a verb out of like google

for example

give it a try see if it works if the

other people around you are confused

maybe it didn’t work if the other people

around you laugh or you know continue

with the conversation hey maybe you just

made a new word you never know so give

it a try uh thanks very much for joining

us for our english tips on this lesson

we will see you again next time bye is

it recording hi there welcome back to

weekly words my name is alicia and today

we’re going to talk about commonly

looked up words these are words that are

the most commonly uh searched for on

merriam-webster online which is a

popular english dictionary so let’s get

started the first word is pretentious

pretentious is a word that means you’re

trying to impress other people or

someone who tries to impress other

people by making themselves seem more

exciting or more important or cooler

than they really are in a sentence you

might say my co-worker is so pretentious

he’s always exaggerating his stories to

make himself sound important don’t be

pretentious the next word is ubiquitous

ubiquitous just means something that you

see everywhere smartphones smartphones

smartphones

that’s ours still laughing about

smartphones it’s a fern that’s really

smart you can tell when you need extra

oxygen

in a sentence uh you might say

smartphones are ubiquitous everybody has

one now and i have one too albeit uh

albeit just means although in a sentence

she was making progress albeit rather

slowly the next word is ambiguous

ambiguous just means something that’s

the meaning is not really very clear to

you maybe if you’re reading the

newspaper for example and a sentence is

written kind of strangely you might say

hmm the meaning of this is rather

ambiguous all right

love really

baby don’t hurt me

love is just that intense feeling where

you really really like somebody else

could be your family member it could be

a partner a romantic partner whatever it

could be a food you really like as well

just anytime you have that really deep

strong emotion you can use the word love

for example i love pizza it’s my

favorite food

okay

and that’s the end of commonly searched

for words in the dictionary i hope you

learned a few new things give them a try

and we’ll see you again next time for

more weekly words bye

[Music]

this doesn’t sound natural to me

roll and roll and rolling

okay hi welcome back to weekly words i’m

alicia and today we’re going to talk

about phrases that aren’t cool anymore

woohoo

i probably say a whole lot of these

phrases so i’m about to embarrass myself

the first phrase is sweet oh sweet’s not

cool anymore sweet means cool sweet

means something that’s good you might

say oh man that skateboard trick you

just did was sweet

groovy i still say groovy um groovy

means cool groovy means good um it was

used in the 70s when you know funky

groovy music was popular uh in a

sentence like oh hey um those are some

groovy moves on the dance floor

i don’t know if we can use that going

steady going steady is kind of an

old-fashioned phrase as well going

steady just means you’re dating someone

who is dating someone else like me and

trisha are going steady it just means

you’re dating you’re a couple

not oh this is this word is actually

what the entire holiday of april fool’s

day is based around

that’s a lie particularly i would say

for junior high school students this

phrase is um

very popular they might say something

like hey

um steve thinks you’re cute not

so in other words it’s often used as an

insult

duh is used when someone says something

really stupid or something really

obvious

so if you say something like

oh hey it’s raining the other person who

can also maybe look out the window

you’re both sitting in front of might

say duh

because you’ve just indicated something

very very obvious you can also use duh

to make fun of yourself when you do or

say something really stupid

as soon as you realize this you can go

ah duh yeah i’m learning today but i’m

not cool

that’s the end oh okay well those are

some phrases that are no longer cool i

hope you learned something about things

that are no longer cool but you can

still use these words just you know

don’t expect to sound really interesting

or hip

to the lingo if you use these words okay

thanks for joining us and i will see you

again next time bye bye hi everybody

welcome back to english topics my name

is alicia and i’m here today again with

michael hello and today we’re going to

be talking about questions that we have

been asked so let’s begin what is the

first question that you would like to

discuss today michael i would like to

discuss

what’s the main difference between

british and american english

so

for me

i’d like to get this out of the way um

canadians and americans sound pretty

much the same it’s hard for us to tell

the difference uh even even native

english speakers there’s a couple

telltale signs you know they’ll say some

things but it’s usually regional so i

guess north americans and then like uk

english um and again there’s a lot of

different

um accents and dialects you know it all

depends but for me the easiest way

is

americans

enunciate every word we’re very loud and

we open our mouths a lot hello how are

you where are you from

teacher water we enunciate every sound

so um for me a dead giveaway is that

that r that end r

right it’s tough uh i listen for vowel

sounds and try to guess based on that so

your question is about uh british

english and american english there’s

also australian english there’s scottish

english there’s irish english there’s so

many different english-speaking dialects

and honestly sometimes it’s hard for us

to understand we’re both from relatively

the same part of america so we have the

same speaking style our accents are the

same um but to go through all of the

different dialects to try and

approximate the to try them to try and

say them badly to would probably just be

a waste of time but you’re on the

internet

look it up

okay i guess we’ll go to the next one um

let’s see my questions

let’s see i’m going to start with a

grammar question that i get a lot uh a

grammar question that i come across

students ask me this question

the present tense versus the progressive

tense uh what is the difference when

should i use present tense versus

progressive tense so by this i mean of

verbs the present tense uh is used for

uh facts things which are always true

things which are part of your regular

schedule the progressive tense has a few

different meanings to it a few different

uses to it but one of the meanings or

one of the uses is to express something

which is temporary which is not part of

your regular schedule or another uses to

describe a trend to use a very common

mistake

as an example if i ask the question

where do you work

a lot of times the response i get from

my students is i am working in america

um

depending on on

on the situation that sentence could be

correct but if you’re talking about the

place where you work always every day

you go to that job it could be the

location of your office it could be the

country or the city where you work if

it’s a part of your regular schedule you

want to explain a fact that is true

about your life you should use the

present tense not the progressive tense

so um the correct version of that

sentence should be i work in america

that’s part of my regular schedule if

however you’re only in america for the

week for example

you can use the progressive tense but

it’s more natural to say for example

this week i’m working in america that’s

a much much more natural sentence to use

how do i pronounce the th sound

so

you know depending on who i’m

teaching english to they’ll have

problems with different pronunciation

sounds but for me i think one that’s

that’s common with a lot of different

cultures is the th sound and um i think

again this goes back to like the

different ways of speaking and how

americans we enunciate every word and we

push our the way we speak to the very

tip of our mouth uh that’s the th sound

so most people are

capable of of making the th sound but

they’re just a little shy and it just

doesn’t seem natural it’s almost as if

you can bite the tip of your tongue off

when you say the

sound

right

uh and then just another thing to note

is that th can have a hard or a soft or

voiced or unvoiced sound so

the is hard or voiced you hum

the

the and then with like think it’s a soft

or unvoiced you don’t hum you don’t

vibrate you just say

think

but it’s still the tongue goes touches

your teeth

think

that

um this is another grammar point that i

get questions about from time to time it

is the present perfect tense versus the

simple past tense um the question is

when do i use them so present perfect

tense uh let’s see an example of present

perfect tense would be i have been to

paris

uh simple past tense would be uh i went

to paris what is the difference we use

the present perfect tense to talk about

a life experience or something which

occurred in the past but which still

affects the present so in this case in

my paris example sentence it’s something

that happened in the past but when

exactly when is not important we just

want to say i have had the life

experience of going to paris

simple past however is used to refer to

a specific point in time in the past so

for example i went to paris last summer

it’s important that you know i went last

summer if the time point when you went

to paris is not important use the

present perfect tense um so this is

really useful for talking about your

travel experiences for talking about

your study experiences foods you have

and have not eaten

um so keep just try to keep in mind when

when you should use these two uh they’re

very commonly used together like for

example you might use the present

perfect tense to introduce a question

have you ever been to paris and the

follow-up answer oh yes i have been to

paris using the present perfect tense

again but then a common pattern is to

follow that answer up with a simple past

question when did you go so you can see

it changes from present perfect tense to

simple past tense so a larger life

experience to a more simple life

experience um so they’re used together

but just be careful try to be aware of

am i talking about an overall life

experience or a very specific life

experience this is one that many of my

students struggle with

this is more cultural

why do americans wear shoes inside the

house

on the bed etc

um

i feel like this depends and this is

starting to change i take my shoes off

in most houses but i guess it’s more so

for comfort whereas i feel like on the

east

side of the world

it’s more of like a

cleanliness kind of a thing and if you

do still wear your shoes it’s pretty

taboo whereas in the states i feel like

most people from my experience anecdotal

evidence just personal experience

most

places you take off your shoes but if

they have a party they let people wear

shoes inside the house they don’t care

and a lot of my friends will see

american movies and they see somebody a

main character wearing their shoes on

the bed on the couch something like that

um

again from my experience it’s not that

big of a deal but typically you wouldn’t

do that for me the the the rule of thumb

like the the unsaid rule is that you can

put your shoes up

but you don’t let your shoes um touch

the couch you kind of you hang off right

so you can if you want to lay on the

couch without taking your shoes off you

let your feet hang off um because yeah

of course they’re going to get dirty but

yeah it’s just not as emphasized as much

in our culture i don’t know the last

question i have is can i ask a question

the answer is yes

the answer is yes and in probably 95

percent of cases the answer to the

question can i ask a question is yes um

okay

why did i choose this question my

students sometimes will put their hands

up in my lesson and say

can i ask a question like one this is

your english class yes please ask

questions um but two also this is a

discussion i’ve been having with a few

people recently just about the mindset

that i think is really important when

speaking english

we have experience teaching in asia

where maybe there’s a different approach

to conversations i don’t know if this is

the same cultural approach to

conversations that people from other

countries have but um don’t wait for

permission to speak don’t wait to jump

into a conversation just go for it um

don’t wait for someone to say

oh would you like to speak now because

that’s never going to happen

so don’t be shy get your tongue out

and say things and don’t worry if it

sounds rude or too polite or whatever um

yeah i couldn’t agree more yeah yeah

just it’s a shift in mindset if you when

you when you start speaking that second

language like you said if you just

change your mind just a little bit just

make a small shift in your mindset maybe

you’ll see

ah that’s what it takes just let go a

little bit

of of your home language and see what

happens

great so those are some questions that

we have been asked about teaching about

english about culture

if you have any other questions by the

way please make sure to leave them in a

comment for us or if there’s something

that you’ve always wondered about or if

there’s something that you’ve

encountered recently that confused you

whatever leave it in a comment for us

and maybe we’ll talk about it in the

future

welcome back to weekly words my name is

alicia and this week we’re going to talk

about commonly misspelled words i’m

excited about this because i like

catching misspellings believe

to believe something just means to

accept something as true or not true in

the negative believe is commonly

misspelled do they spell it the live

well believe is commonly misspelled

don’t do that

so if you’re having trouble remembering

the correct way to spell the word

believe consider that the word lie is in

the middle of the word which is kind of

counter-intuitive if you’ve been paying

attention to the weekly word series uh

if you’re trying to persuade a friend to

do something you might say please

believe me this is going to be the best

party ever you have to come okay the

next is a lot this is commonly

misspelled because people like to put

the uh and the lot together it’s

actually two separate words ah and lot

a lot just means a large number of

something or a large amount of something

many of something in a sentence you

might say something like i have a lot of

hobbies i like skiing snowboarding and

white water rafting so just spell them

separately don’t put it all together

oh the next

there there and there students of

english tend to be better about spelling

these words than native speakers of

english and i find that very interesting

the first there t-h-e-r-e

refers to a place as in he lives over

there the book is over there somewhere

other than where you are right now the

second form

t-h-e-i-r is the possessive form of they

as in that’s their house that’s their

dog something that belongs to some other

group of people and the last form

t-h-e-y apostrophe r-e they are

refers to equality about another group

of people as in they are the students

they are the teachers it’s the

contracted form of they are onward the

next word is grateful grateful the

meaning of grateful grateful just means

that you’re appreciative of something in

a sentence you might say oh i feel so

grateful my teacher took time after

class to explain this concept to me uh

grateful is commonly misspelled because

this g-r-a-t-e

sounds just like the word great

g-r-e-a-t

but actually that great good meaning is

uh not the correct spelling for this

word we use great instead

this spelling of grade is also used as a

verb as integrate things in the kitchen

um

i don’t know if that has any relation to

this or not probably not it’s g-r-a-t-e

next is receive receive to receive

something as a verb means um to be given

something or to get something receive

can be kind of tricky because of the i

and the e a place where the i before e

except after c rule applies um it’s not

a 100 true rule um but typically after

the letter c

if the letters e and i need to follow it

after the letter c i is typically not

the first letter to come usually it’s e

that’s the first letter so it should be

c e i v e receive rather than recive or

something like that uh in a sample

sentence you might say uh i received a

gift from my friend on my birthday i was

really happy about that

the next word is end all right end is

not very commonly misspelled uh but

thank you for joining us for this

episode of weekly words please watch

your spelling with these words as it can

be very important to get them right

thanks again and i will see you next

week bye bye

want to speak real english from your

first lesson sign up for your free

lifetime account at englishclass101.com

welcome back to weekly words i’m alicia

and this week we are going to do

words with strange plural forms this is

good practice i bet let’s start yeah

antenna the plural form of antenna is

antennae i think i would say antennae

antennae

i think i probably actually just say

antennas

an antenna on an old uh tv set for

example would be it would kind of look

like this we’d call it bunny ears where

you had to adjust the bunny ears you had

to just adjust the antennae to make the

signal on your tv come in more clearly

bugs they have antennae from their heads

the next word is millennium the plural

is millennia a millennium is a period of

a thousand years a thousand years is a

millennium a series of thousands of

years would be called millennia

you might say

many millennia have passed since the

earth was formed

cactus

is the next word a cactus is a plant uh

these are the arms of the cactus i

couldn’t make the trunk of the cactus

wow

you can put a picture on the screen

instead of my amazing

cactus the plural of cactus is cacti or

cactuses i think i’m more inclined to

say cacti so when you go to the desert

you might say keep an eye out for cacti

if you step on one it could really hurt

you

the next one is an interesting one i

don’t think i’ve ever used this word in

the singular like if you have a swimming

pool or if you’ve seen a pond or

whatever it’s that green sort of scummy

stuff that accumulates on top of it or

on the sides of your pool if you haven’t

cleaned it in a while algae bacterias

and things that like to live in the

water there’s a singular form and i’m

just i’m looking at it for the first

time i don’t know how alga to use the

plural then you would say i need to

clean my pool there’s a lot of algae in

it

yeah

next is ox ox uh the plural of ox is

oxen

these animals used to be used for

farming i don’t know that they are very

much anymore i don’t have much personal

experience with farming but they’re they

look like really really big cows with

huge horns huge horns yeah okay

next is the end uh

plural words that have weird plural

forms so please keep them in mind when

you are

trying to use them in conversation and

use the correct form of the plural thank

you for joining us again this week for

weekly words next time we will see you

for more weekly words that was weird

we’ll see you again next week for more

fun information take care bye

welcome back to weekly words my name is

alicia and this week we are going to

look at commonly misinterpreted phrases

the first phrase is i couldn’t care less

people will often say i could care less

but that doesn’t really mean the same

thing as i couldn’t care less short for

i could not care less it is not possible

for me to care any less about this

situation so it’s just emphasizing that

whatever is going on it doesn’t bother

you in a sentence my

coworkers project wasn’t successful and

i couldn’t care less

oh

jerk all right next is nip it in the bud

many people say nip it in the butt it

should be nip it in the bud bud in this

case might refer to a flower before it

blossoms that small shape before the

flower actually opens up we call that a

bud so to nip something would mean to to

take something quickly like biting

taking motion to nip something in the

bud would mean to stop something before

it becomes

something else stopping something

negative from happening

knitting a sweater because i was

knitting a sweater earlier there’s a

section of the sweater where the thread

the yarn has started to unravel and you

think to yourself oh my gosh i need to

nip this in a butt nip this in the bud

so you decide to fix it right away

instead of letting the sweater just

slowly unravel as you work on it next is

one and the same not one in the same i’m

probably guilty of this one actually one

and the same just refers to

something that is maybe has two names um

but both of those names refer to the

same thing or the same person my teacher

and my father are one in the same person

maybe you know if your dad is your

teacher in school you could use this

expression on tenterhooks on tenterhooks

is the next expression this isn’t a

phrase that i’m familiar with i don’t

use this one but it seems that some

people use the phrase on tenderhooks i’m

not really sure what tenderhooks are

this expression is used when people are

looking forward to learning the outcome

of something or kind of

maybe there is anticipation they’re

anticipating something maybe you would

use this when you’re watching a movie

perhaps like i was on tenterhooks to

learn about the end of the story

something like that maybe next moot

point not mute point but moot point

something that is irrelevant something

that there’s just no point in talking

about it it is mooch there’s no meaning

a mood point

a moo point that’s funny i don’t know

ah let’s ask the internets hey siri oh

no

okay you’re looking for a guy to fill a

position and you find a guy and he’s a

great programmer and he’s fantastic but

it’s a moot point because he’s a convict

onward wow that was a long one and

that’s the last one okay that’s the end

of commonly misinterpreted phrases be

careful when you use these phrases and

make sure to get them right thank you

very much for joining us this week we’ll

see you again next time for more bye

you’re excited about something anxious

or like looking forward to something the

origins of this phrase are unclear hi

everybody my name is alicia and today

i’m joined again in the studio by

michael hello

and today we’re going to be talking

about bad habits in english so these are

some things that we’ve heard before or

mistakes that native speakers and

non-native speakers of english make and

that drive us crazy so

let us begin

you start what’s your first

thing um this doesn’t bug me too much

until

someone points it out about me and then

it drives me nuts

um

ah yeah okay once you tell someone that

they say

um

or like

too much

then every time they say it they notice

it and it’s really hard to get a thought

out because these are filler words that

you almost always use or i always use

maybe americans always use but

it’s yeah it’s really tough not to use

the word like or um i think when you’re

just speaking casually right

yeah right well yeah i mean like

right now

why would you have to make it the first

word why did you have to make it the

first one actually we talked about that

we have a video i think from probably

like a year ago one of the english

weekly words videos where uh the word

like was one of the words that americans

overuse uh i don’t know where that

information came from but um that was

see oh my god now i’m suddenly aware of

it why oh

this whole thing i’m gonna be thinking

about how often i say liking them okay

let’s see i’m gonna go to one that i

think all of us talked about and all of

us were aware of before we even turned

the camera on but um this is a this one

is written this is a written problem

that drives me nuts and there are so

many variations on this with other words

but this is the big one your y-o-u-r

this is a do not equal sign y-o-u

apostrophe r-e so this one your while

you are

uh is a possessive word this is your

shirt your bag your whatever y o u

apostrophe r e is a contracted form of u

r

interestingly enough though i will say

that i rarely see non-native speakers of

english make this mistake most of the

time it’s native speakers who make this

mistake come on guys

really

i just it just drives me nuts yeah that

one only drives me nuts that one bugs me

too because it’s it’s really simple i

mean there’s another one that still kind

of bugs me but i’m more forgiving is

it’s and it’s

because they’re both

its

and one of them has an apostrophe and in

both cases

it seems reasonable because you can use

an apostrophe for possessive or for a

contraction so both seem reasonable and

you just have to do like you know a

pneumonic device figure it out there’s

rules i’m sure there’s a you know

english language english class 101

episode on it you know no apostrophe is

the one that’s the possessive the

apostrophe s is the one that’s stored

for it has or it is

right

but it makes sense it’s kind of tough

for some people to remember um

you or you’re in your that that really

upsets me yeah just because it’s so easy

it’s simple that and uh there we talked

about this earlier before this there

there and there

the possessive t-h-e-i-r

for that’s their house that’s their dog

t-h-e-r-e it’s over there and t-h-e-y

apostrophe r-e they are there are three

different there there there’s sound the

same but they have different meanings

and they should be spelled differently

too so come on native speakers

gets together

okay all right next one for you what’s

your next one

ah along the same lines of being uh just

like correct

could of so i think the problem with a

lot of these words

is so it’s supposed to be could have

but when you’re speaking the language

any language you you make it quicker and

quicker and you kind of slur the words

together so like for example grandma

or grandma you like native speakers you

don’t really say the d you said grandma

grandma and so as a kid i thought that’s

how you spelled it and i remember

spelling g-r-a-m-m-a

someone told me no that’s not it

so it could have it makes sense why

people would say could of but it doesn’t

it’s not proper and you shouldn’t get in

the habit of doing it i think most of

these things you can be forgiving when

they’re kids but it’s best to to nip it

in the bud because

you know it just becomes a bad habit

yeah and i mean with could have there is

a correct contracted spelled version

it’s just could of apostrophe v e

could’ve i mean i would argue that it’s

more casual and it’s perhaps not the

most correct um thing to write i would i

probably would just write could have i

probably wouldn’t use the contracted

form so much use of contractions will

make you sound more casual if you want

to write a formal letter you should i i

feel you should not use contractions if

you’re writing an academic paper as well

don’t use contractions

spell it out spell the whole thing out

you’ll sound much more formal and more

at least in my mind more educated

all right uh great this topic is getting

me all like

fancy okay let’s see i’m gonna go to

okay another another pronunciation issue

that i feel like almost is cool now

okay

let me ask you a question

this pronunciation okay so i’ve written

acts on this card but the it’s

ask ask let me ask okay so this lemmy

which we talked about in a previous

video which is short for let me i’ve

contracted it here to the very casual

lemmy but i’ve used lemmy here because

this is this is typically said in a very

very casual setting let me ask you a

question but the pronunciation of ask

should not be ax it’s ask let me ask you

a question i want to ask you something

it’s not ax

it’s ask

ask yeah this one

again so like lemmy lemmy is okay i

think most people say lemmy i think

that’s okay but for some reason acts i

think a lot of these just are not even

close at all let me when you say it

really fast it sounds like lemmy i mean

right but when you say

acts it’s just totally wrong well it’s

reversing the the consonants in the word

ask right it’s not faster you’re not

making it quicker you’re not slurring or

making you know putting it into one

little like fluid blob

it’s just you just switch the two

uh yeah syllables similarly i hear this

with the word uh asterisk as well the

little star that’s on like the number

eight on your keyboard or whatever that

this looking thing it’s not an asterisk

or what i don’t even know it’s asterisk

so

over pronunciation so this one is kind

of the opposite direction so this whole

time we’ve been kind of nitpicking when

you use the incorrect version of a word

i think overpronunciation can also be

equally as damaging but instead of

making you look stupid it makes you look

pretentious so for example

we don’t say in english we don’t use all

of the syllables with chocolate so it’s

cha like when you spell it chocolate

wait chocolate right

and so like maybe in spanish or

something like that they would still say

that like chocolate or something

whatever but with english we took it out

and so even though you still spell all

of those syllables native speakers now

say chocolate chocolate or like

comfortable

comfortable that’s how it’s spelled but

native english speakers we say

comfortable

and this is like now it’s it’s

i think it’s like unanimous so maybe

when it becomes when slang becomes so

popular that it’s part of the new

language it’s the language has now

evolved if you don’t go with the flow

even though it’s incorrect i think you

sound pretentious that’s a great one i

like that a lot all right uh i’m gonna

wrap it up i have two actually i’ll just

i think i can do them quickly though do

you have any more by the way

no no okay then i’ll go quickly um these

are two the my last two are just a

couple that my students actually

struggle with um so maybe this this is

something that you can work on as well

um this one uh just an example sentence

i want to go to there i’ve underlined

the word to here

we use the word too when we’re talking

about a specific city or a specific

country like i want to go to new york i

want to go to europe but there is not a

specific location i want to go to there

is is not a specific place so we you

don’t need to use two in this sentence i

want to go there it’s perfectly fine so

this is a mistake that um non-native

speakers it seems seem to make from time

to time

um perhaps okay

and then another one that i’ve heard a

lot recently is this phrase

in case of and then a country

so for example in case of china in case

of egypt or whatever

where someone is trying to explain like

the political situation or a policy in

that country

in case of in case of

but actually you don’t need to use k-sub

just in

china in europe in japan whatever you

don’t need to use kasiv this pattern in

case of is used for like an emergency

situation or used uh to talk about

alternate plans often to to do with

weather so for example in case of rain

the event will be canceled or in case of

tornado please

go to your nearest evacuation center i

don’t know something like that so it’s

used for like an emergency situation

it’s not used to talk about

policies in the countries just use in

plus the place it’s much better much

more natural so those are a few things

that i’ve noticed that non-native

speakers uh struggle with sometimes so

perhaps they’ll be helpful for you as

well so thanks very much for watching if

you have a bad habit that you’ve noticed

when you’re speaking english or

if you’ve noticed a bad habit and

somebody else in their english speaking

or their writing or whatever please

leave it in a comment and let’s compare

it might be interesting to see if there

are any other things that people tend to

struggle with thanks very much for

watching this episode and we will see

you again soon bye

here we go here i go here i go hi

everybody my name is alicia welcome back

to top words today we’re going to be

talking about 10 phrases that make you

look like a fool hopefully you never use

them let’s start i don’t need to learn

anything anymore i don’t need to learn

anything anymore if you say this you

sound like i know all the information

ever i’m done learning i’m done studying

you need to study please don’t say this

phrase i don’t need your advice i don’t

need your advice i don’t need your

advice you sound like you don’t

learning english see how stupid that

sounds

i’m right and you’re wrong i’m right and

you’re wrong uh you sound awful when you

say this nobody likes to hear that

they’ve made a mistake and that you’re

happy about that that’s what the nuance

of this phrase is i’m right you’re wrong

don’t say this phrase unless you’re very

very close with the other person and you

know that it’s okay to joke together i’m

right you’re wrong

it’s too hard don’t even try it’s too

hard don’t even try this sounds like

you’re giving up before you’ve even

started doing something if you don’t try

what do you think don’t even try it’s

way too hard oh really you think it’s

too hard

hmm okay i guess i won’t

don’t do that

just do what i say just do what i say

just do what i say parents might use

this phrase a lot with their children

actually but if you say this to your

friends or to your colleagues you’re

going to sound like a really mean or

difficult to work with person just do

what i say

we can’t do that the next phrase is we

can’t do that this could also be changed

to i can’t do that again this sounds

like you’re giving up before you even

tried to do something i can’t do that

you’re just you’re not prepared or

you’re not even willing to try hey

stevens do you think that you could take

care of this report for next week we

don’t think i can do that no that’s

that’s not my job that’s not my

responsibility you’re not very smart

you’re not very smart that’s not a nice

thing to say if someone makes a mistake

and you say oh you’re not very smart

that’s so mean it’s so rude everybody

makes mistakes from time to time don’t

tell them that they’re stupid don’t say

you’re not very smart that’s hurtful and

an example of what not to do i’m so so

sorry about this mistake that i made in

promise i’ll fix it and i’ll send it to

you right away i can’t believe you made

such a simple mistake you’re not very

smart are you

everybody makes mistakes you’ll never

succeed you’ll never succeed you’ll

never succeed this is a phrase that

shows you’re not supporting the other

person and maybe you’re even trying to

hold them back how awful is that who

would say that don’t say that and i hope

no one ever says this to you i’m going

to join a marathon race next summer i

can’t wait a marathon you’re never gonna

succeed with that do you know how hard

those are have you even started training

well no but i think i can do it i just

need a few months and you know i need to

take care of myself and work hard no way

there’s no way that you can do that it’s

not possible oh you really think so i

was so looking forward to it too

thank goodness that’s the end oh my gosh

those were some sad phrases i hope that

nobody says those phrases to you but i

hope also that you don’t use these

phrases with other people because

they’re hurtful really try to be

positive so thanks very much for joining

us for this lesson and we will see you

again soon bye

i’m very insecure about my acting

abilities oh there’s sound coming

through this

i love the awkward pauses

today’s video is on words americans

overuse i haven’t seen these words yet

but apparently it’s going to be a series

of words that we as americans i’m

american um we overuse we use too often

so let’s start uh oh the first word is

definitely

definitely is definitely a word that

americans overuse we use it to

put emphasis at the end of a phrase to

put emphasis at the end of a sentence uh

as in

oh

that party last week was so great yeah

definitely or to agree with somebody

like that uh oh god literally oh just in

the last few days i’ve seen the word

literally so many times on the internet

and used in just such stupid ways the

word literally

uh means actually or truly something

this is literally the best hamburger

i’ve ever eaten

so

literally meaning truly or actually

would mean that in that person’s entire

life that is the best hamburger they’ve

ever eaten however it gets misused a lot

in sentences um like george bush was

literally supporting the war in iraq or

something like that taking a phrase like

that literally would have to mean that

you know the president former president

would be you know physically supporting

a war with his body onward

onward hilarious hilarious is the next

word i like to use the word hilarious

when something is actually funny

hilarious of course means something that

is really funny super funny it’s a step

above funny maybe two steps three steps

i don’t know however people like to use

this word in place of laughter

so uh for example friends are talking

and instead of just laughing the friend

will say that’s hilarious

well if it’s so hilarious just laugh oh

this must be the last one because this

is the worst one this word is like

um i’ve probably said it

several times already today for the for

the purposes of this video

the word like is used as a filler word

so it’s the same as something

such as um or uh or hmm for example we

use like

as a filler word when we’re trying to

think of something

it’s not uncommon to hear the word

repeated like three four five times in a

row when someone is thinking they’ll say

oh you know that party that i went to

like

like uh like uh like

do you know who was there it just

invades your speech sometimes when

you’re trying to think of something and

no other filler words come out but the

word like does

ah this wasn’t the last word there is

another one seriously

seriously is used oh it’s good for

anytime you receive bad news

um well not from your boss it’s a really

casual word um but if you hear something

um like your friend lost their job and

you can sympathize with them or maybe

empathize with them by saying seriously

oh that’s too bad or oh tell me like all

your problems oh my god i just use like

oh god oh i hate myself is that the end

it’s the end all right well i hope you

enjoyed learning about a few

um

words that americans overuse i’m sure

that there are more words that americans

overuse but perhaps you’ll find those

out on your own thanks very much for

最重要的词 我的名字是艾丽西亚，今天

我们将谈论 10 个词

为了连接想法，这些

将是 10 个单词，您可以使用它们

在想法之间进行转换，

在演讲和写作中非常有用，让我们

走吧，

也是一个可以用来添加信息的单词

我今天早上去了商店，我也是

去喝咖啡

，这是真的，

但是，

它用于

根据您的发音进行对比或对比，

以

区分以显示

两条信息之间的差异，一个好的

模式将是 a 但是

b 所以

例如

我喜欢 tonkotsu ramen 但是它非常

热量高，所以我不经常吃它

另一方面也是正确的

另一方面是我觉得

在演讲中比在写作中更常用，

嗯，它是 用于呈现

故事的两个方面或

某些信息的两个方面，例如，

我正在考虑

今年某个时候访问台湾，但另一方面，

我还在考虑访问

泰国，

因此可能很常见仍然使用 用

“like but”这个词，或者一个“like like”，

即使你说的是，即使

还有其他一些因素，比如我

这周真的很累，或者

即使我有很多作业要做，但我

仍然想出去玩 我的朋友，或者

我

这个周末仍然想看电影，所以

还有这个其他的，这可能

会让这个其他动作很难做

或者很难做，或者其他什么，

但即使

有这个，你仍然有这个，

所以也许这两个是 有点

像一对我仍然想出去，

即使我累了，

然后是的，这是一个非常有用的词，我们

在讲很多故事时会使用，

例如，如果我可以讲一个关于我今天早上的故事，

当我 起床

我刷牙 h 然后

我

做了早餐然后我做了

一点工作然后我洗了个澡

然后我做了一些

你会经常听到的烹饪等等等等

然后我然后我们然后你等等

等等 is 对排序真的很有用

，所以我认为这是一个有用的词，

除此之外，它通常用于

一种模式，例如除此之外的含义，

除此之外我周末和我的朋友出去的其他事情，但除此之外

，我并没有真正做太多

其他事情 说这句话的方式是我

这个周末和我的朋友出去了，

但除了那个活动之外，

我同时做的不太

好，或者你可能会同时

听到类似的表达，

这意味着

当你在做动作时 a

同时，也许其他地方正在发生动作 b

这在讲

故事时使用，例如

，上周我整个星期都在我的办公室工作，

而我在镇上的同事在

没有我的情况下举行派对，

所以这两个 ings 发生在

同一时间，

但可能彼此分开，

同时

同样

好，同样，我个人并没有真正使用这个

词，它

经常在类似的介绍之后使用

你知道，嘿，

上周末见到你真是太好了，非常感谢你

来参加我的烧烤，你可以说

是的，同样很高兴

在你的家人中见到你，所以同样意味着我

有同样的感觉或者我有同样的

想法 一种友好的短语，但就

我个人而言，我并没有真正使用它来

在想法之间进行转换，

嗯，我只是使用，我想，但不是

那样，我会改为使用它

，

所以改为使用它，而不是我

想要的，

而不是 be

可以用来表达你的计划或

你想做什么我今晚想吃

中餐而不是意大利菜，

所以你基本上提出了两种

选择，而不是

手段代替或 作为替代品，

所以

我

今天早上应该喝了很多水，但我喝了

很多咖啡

，这是真的，

嗯

，我这个周末想和我的朋友共进晚餐，

而不是我在家里吃晚饭

，此外，这真的

很好 表示更正式的情况的词，我

喜欢

在写作中使用另外，我不会

在口语中使用，除非我

出于某种原因试图变得

非常正式 当

你想再提出一个

与点 a 和点 b 相关的点时，你可以

说另外点 c，所以你就像

建立一个论点，此外

可以用来在

我们的新营销中稍微完成这个论点

上个月的计划运作得非常好，我们注意到

产品 a 的销售额增加了，此外，

我们已经获得了很多类似的新客户

，所以只要

你快速提出一系列

彼此相关的想法，

你就可以 你 除了完成它之外，

好吧，所以这是连接想法的 10 个单词的结尾

我希望你

能使用很多这些尝试混合

它使用各种不同的

单词很好非常感谢观看这一

集 下次我们会再见到

更多有趣的东西再见

[音乐]

只要我准备好了欢迎

回到每周的话我是艾丽西亚本周

我们将讨论常见的

发音错误的错误哇

这周我们' 重新谈论

通常发音错误的单词 经常发音错误的

单词 这很有趣 我喜欢错误地发音

第一个单词 第一个单词是

夸张 夸张 嗯，这不是

夸张，尽管说

夸张只是意味着夸大

某事听起来很有趣，嗯或 为了让

事情变得非常极端，我的

朋友在谈论她的生活故事时使用了很多夸张

我真的

不认为其中一些事情发生

在她的

夸张而不是炒作身上 rbole

next

antarctic

not

ah

oh i see antarctic

是这个词的正确读音 有些人

说

和 tart antarctic

真的 哦，我想当你

快速说出这个词时，你可能会忽略

南极的第一个海洋

所以不要说 那不说

南极非常非常寒冷的地区北极

是地球上的北方寒冷地区

南方是蚂蚁北极

在这个词中有点像打嗝

他们是南极

哦

呃造句 我正在

考虑乘船去南极，

你认为我

需要企鹅套装吗？等等，哦，是的，好吧，

我听说我经常听到这个 ek x 的东西，

等等，只是在列表的末尾使用来

暗示 你的意思是其他的东西，

所以这个列表不是

你列出的东西的唯一性

等等这是不正确的等等这

在日常生活中使用它

，你必须离开某个地方，但

你想以一种

你计划的有趣方式告诉人们 回来，

你可以说我会回来，

不可思议，如果

你看过电影公主

新娘不可思议，那么用口齿不清说这个不可思议，所以

想出一些你可以考虑的东西，

嗯，把那个 在

uh 这个词的开头，意思是

can’t con are not able to ceive of

things 你甚至

想都不敢想

这太荒谬了，所以你可以

在任何时候使用它，你只是被

一些事情震惊了，你简直不敢相信

正在发生的事情你可以说

不可思议这是一个非常好的

电影主播将

ferrell 说这个他说的最近的一个 我立即为

是电影

阿甘正传汤姆汉克斯在这部电影中的一句

名言，他的角色有句名言，妈妈总是说

生活就像一盒

巧克力 你永远不知道

会得到

什么 你经常咬它，你

天线天线的复数形式是

天线我想我会说天线

天线

我想我可能实际上只是说

天线一个旧电视机上的天线例如

会是 它看起来像这样，

我们称之为兔子耳朵，您必须

调整天线以使

电视上的信号更清晰地

进入他们的头上有天线的错误

下一个词 是千年 复数是

千年 一千年是一千年的时期 一

这些是仙人掌的手臂 我

无法制作仙人掌的树干

哇

你可以在屏幕上放一张图片

而不是我神奇的

仙人掌仙人掌的复数是仙人掌或

仙人掌 是的，我想我更倾向于

说仙人掌，所以当你去沙漠时，

你可能会说，

如果你踩到一个仙人掌，它真的会伤害

你，下一个是一个有趣的，我

不认为我认为我 “曾经用过这个词

的单数形式，比如如果你有一个

游泳池，或者你见过一个池塘，或者

其他什么地方，如果你没有的话，

它会堆积在上面或

池边上的那种绿色的渣滓”

一会儿就清理干净了藻类细菌

和喜欢生活在

水中的东西有一个单数形式，我

只是我第一次看它

我不知道如何使用

复数藻类然后你会 说我需要

清理我的游泳池，里面有很多藻类

是的，

下一个是 ox

很多个人

的农业经验，嗯，但

它们看起来真的很像大牛，

有巨大的角 巨大的角 是的，

试图在对话中使用它们时请记住它们并

使用复数的正确形式谢谢

每周的单词下次我们会看到

更多的每周单词很奇怪

我们下周再见更多

有趣的信息保重再见

好吧欢迎回到每周单词

我的名字是艾丽西亚本周我们

将讨论常用的

拟声词这是 会很

有趣 我们

在上一集的每周单词中简要讨论了拟声词放大

我们将再谈一些关于

更多的讨论更多关于一些更多

我们今天将讨论更多

第一个词是 beep oh

beep beep 是任何一种电子

声音或汽车声音，也出现在

流行的美国卡通 wiley coyote

和 roadrunner 中，roadrunner

通常会说肉肉汽车声音

通常会发出哔声或喇叭声 但是对于

电子产品来说，哔声变得

有点机器人化，我们经常会

看到哔哔哔哔哔哔

所以一句话让我们说你有一个

电脑问题你告诉你的

朋友电脑不会停止对我哔哔我

该怎么办 接下来是声音 jingle

jingle 是任何一种轻响的

声音 这个词在节日期间经常使用呃，

尤其是圣诞节

感恩节新年任何叮当的

声音是非常常见的分配给

铃铛，例如歌曲 jingle bells

就是一个很好的例子 of this

jingle is just the sound that a bell

made in a sentence 让我们看看你可能会

说她的

手机上附有一个小铃铛，所以

她走到哪里都叮当

作响 举个

例子，住

在我楼上公寓里的人经常在地板上怦怦直跳，

这听起来像是他们正在

掉一些重物，或者

他们接下来会迈得很重

是飞溅 任何

落入液体中的东西都会引起飞溅

它是

那种来自水或

任何其他液体的声音 我们

称之为飞溅声 还有一部

流行的汤姆汉克斯美人鱼电影叫做

飞溅

这没什么 关于

他爱上美人鱼的那件事

我今年夏天跳进游泳池时引起了轰动，

这有

一种双重含义

哦，神秘的下一个是脱口而出的意思

是说快点我

很快就脱口而出这个消息 当我听到它，就像我

脱口而出的秘密，我再也忍不住了，

这意味着你只是说了

什么，而不加思索地脱口而出

这个词的第一部分那个模糊的

声音听起来像是什么东西只是

有点溜出来 意外，然后

在结尾处的 t 刺耳脱口而出，就像是一种

决赛，我的天哪，我刚刚说了

一些话，我滑倒了，然后我

说了一些话，哦，不，我没

想到这一切 对，就是这样

那个，所以我希望你学到了一些新的

拟声词，下次你可以试试

名字是艾丽西亚，本周我们

将讨论感叹词这

会很有趣让我们开始第一个

单词是ba bah

也许你不高兴 关于某事，或者

你厌倦了处理某事，

当他们说他们会去 ba 然后走开时，人们经常会像这样举起手

来 bo humbug 是这个感叹词的一个非常

著名的

用法，来自 uh the

story a 圣诞颂歌，其中一个

角色对所有这些

让他心烦意乱的

事情说 bah

humbug y 也许你不应该在工作中这样做，

因为

如果你

对自己的想法感到非常兴奋，你

的同事会认为你疯了 一周

好 下一个是 meh 这个我认为

最近才流行 我不

知道它开始被使用 我认为它

开始更多地在互联网上现在它

已经开始在日常生活

中使用 你

对某事不是很兴奋，嗯，也许你

参加了一个聚会，你的朋友问你

感觉怎么样，你说是的，我去了，这

很漂亮，我们实际上把它当作形容词使用，

或者你可以直接使用

它 作为一个单词感叹词 meh meh

meh

Ok 下一个词是 oh oh 是一个非常

非常有用的词 你可以在

很多情况下

使用 对你所说的任何内容的软介绍

我想我倾向于将其用作

问题或何时使用 我感到很惊讶，

所以当我的朋友告诉我

类似哦，嘿，我有这个好消息时，我会

说哦，只是作为一个问题来

引起别人的注意，我可能会说

哦，你上周看过那部新电影吗？

无论如何，对我来说，好吧，

下一个词是

我们在思考某事时使用的嗯，当

我们需要一分钟来考虑我们的

想法时，它可以用在

句子的开头，或者当你

自己思考时，嗯，什么可能 做一个

很好的例子，hmm

and

end 这些都是

感叹词 这些都是

感叹词 尝试使用它们 如果你

开始某事 你将要开始

做某事 例如我要

开始向你解释这个成语 嘿嘿

好吧 下一个词或 短语成语

下一个成语是顺便说一句，

他们在这里使用的词是顺便说一句，这是

一种过渡

到与您正在谈论的内容相关的另一个主题的方式，

例如本周我将顺便参加一个

聚会 你听说

下周要举行聚会，所以他们有点

相关，

好吧，嗯，下一个成语在

某种程度上是这样的，在某种程度上

，墨西哥卷饼店关门是件好事，

否则我会吃

太多了，你可以用它来表明

情况可能有两个方面 也许有些事情是消极的，

也许有些事情是积极的 接下来是

另一方面，我听到很多

另一方面是一种表达方式

但是还是要共享两个不同的 sid

以一个故事为例，我认为我的

同事

在聚会上真的很烦人，他真的很有趣，

所以你可以用这句话展示两个可能不同的

方面 一个成语，这是一个很长的路要走，只是

说实际上或真的

听起来有点正式，所以你可以

在商务会议中使用它，例如商务会议上的

每个人都可能

对上个月的销售额感到有点不确定

，你可以 开始你的演讲，先

说我知道每个人都

对

上周或上个月的销售业绩有点不确定，

但事实上情况有所改善

，到此为止，这些是

好 愉快的快乐

表达 ssion 好吧，接下来是怎么回事

uh what’s up 是 sup 的长形式

这并不是字面上的意思，

如果你想

搞笑的话，你可以说天花板或天空，

但这个笑话很快就会过时，而且很有

可能 与您交谈的人是否在

这之前已经听过它只是

意味着您在做什么

您在发生什么用

一句话您有一个愉快的周末

三分钟内用英文回复

我们做了一集

没什么你怎么样

rson 当你看到它们时，你可以说，好久不见，

你最近怎么样

您遇到

某人或向某人打招呼非常感谢您

本周加入我们，我们

很快就会再见

而不是说 sup 我喜欢说

汤汤 大家好，欢迎回到最重要的词

我的名字是艾丽西亚，今天我们是

将谈论 10 个不同的短语

，你可以用它们来回答

问题，你好吗，所以我们走吧，我

很好，第一句话是我很好，如果有人

说你好吗，你可以说我很好

用一种乐观的声音说我很好，

比如你好吗我很好

我感觉很糟糕如果你说我感觉很糟糕我感觉

很糟糕

如果对方是 你的朋友或同事

会问你为什么会这样，所以如果

你想使用我感觉不好，请

确保你 不管怎样，你已经准备好解释

了，有人说你好吗，

我感觉很糟糕，

也许我昨晚

和我的同事出去喝酒了，哎呀，我很好，

我很好，我觉得这是其中

一种语调 练习那些

我没关系啊，我很好，这就像一种

向上的语调你很酷，但

如果有人说你好吗，你

就像我很好，

他们就像哦，不

，发生了什么，

所以你 可以用你的语调说我

很好，让它成为一件好事或另一

件好事，但无论哪种方式，这都不是

一个非常严肃的回应，谢谢你

的提问，是的，

我想这将是一个更正式的

情况，就像我朋友说的那样 对我来说

，你好吗

，我就像谢谢你问

他们

会说我很好或者我做得

很好我做得很好加上谢谢你

问

我过得怎么样 很好，

谢谢，哦，我就是这样用的

很好，谢谢你，你喜欢别说

它只是把它从你的

脑海里拿出来没有人说我总是说你怎么样

，这是一个更自然的

事情你

好吗你好吗你可以

在你之后再次回应 已经给出了你

对这个问题的回答，

你好吗，我很好

最近这只有在你

有一段时间没见对方的

情况下才有用 可能

会这样做

我困了 下一个表达是我

困

了 如果有人说

你好吗 我可能会说我

很好 但我有点困 我不

知道我会 说我困了

除非是我的好朋友

那是你身边的人 你可以说

我太累了 我会说我超级

累或者我真的累了

ke这

比我困了要自然一点

我很好，也许我会

在微笑的时候重复一遍我很好，我很好是的，

谢谢你问得很好

，你好吗，到此结束

，你可以用 10 个短语来回答

这个问题，如果有一个

外卖，你好吗 从这个和

过去几年我们

在这个频道中所做的其他事情中，摆脱我

很好，谢谢你和你，然后

选择我们今天讨论过的其中一个

，当然，如果还有另一个

你

用来回答

你好吗？

很快就会再见到你，

这意味着

我们要去

电影院，好吧，嗯，

大家好，我的名字是 艾丽西亚，欢迎

回到今天的热门词，我们将

讨论必须知道的表示

同意和不同意的表达方式，非常有用，所以

让我们

准确地说，当你同意 100 与

别人说过的事情时，你可以

准确地说出来，例如拉面是其中之一

世界上最好的食物正是我

不同意 在此之后你自己的看法

我认为足球是最好的

运动我不同意我认为

足球是

哦这可能会导致一些问题

足球美国人在我们

指的是美式足球

时说足球但世界其他地方可能在他们指的是足球时说

足球

也许是当你不知道什么时候

你不能做出决定或者你

不确定某事是否还好所以有人

向你提出意见有人

向你说出他们的想法我想

明天会下雨你可以 说是的，也许

你不确定是或不是，但

它可能是一种很好的中间

表达，但如果你一直使用

它，它听起来会很奇怪

，听起来你

做不到 一个决定，所以使用可能非常

谨慎不要经常使用它可能

非常常用作为一个柔软的鼻子这

取决于你在与

你交谈的人中弄清楚虽然

你想留在我的房子这个

周末，也许

我不能同意你更多

你完全同意另一个

人，真的想和

他们交流你认为

他们刚刚说的是真的非常正确

超级正确是的，你完全

同意 想法你可以说我

不能更同意你我

不能否定形式我不能同意

你更多意思是

我不可能更同意你

下周所说的话

我们有一个非常重要的

烧烤，因为夏天是结束 ng

然后你的朋友可以说我不能再

同意了 这是一个绝妙的主意 我会

买

牛排

我想我们将不得不

同意 不同意 同意 不同意

这似乎是一个简单的短语

不同意，所以你

同意另一个人 你

同意我们有不同的

意见 很长一段时间，A 人没有

改变他或她的意见 B 人

没有改变他或她的意见，所以你

可以在谈话结束时说

好吧，我们必须同意不同意，让

我们接受我们的不同意见并

继续前进 谈话 你有一个

观点 这不一定是一个

同意或不同意的短语，它是

一个更大的讨论中的一个小协议，

所以也许你已经

讨论了一个话题很长时间并且

你不同意另一个人

unti l 这次这个人说了

些什么，你

同意了 这正是我的

感受 这正是我的感受

意思是我的感受和你的感受一样，

或者我的观点和

你的观点一样 这正是我的感受

如果有人

非常准确地描述了你的感受，也许你可以使用它

，例如你可以 说我觉得

公司真的在朝着一个不错的新

方向前进 你可以说是的 这

正是我觉得我真的很喜欢新

老板 我不这么认为 所以我不这么认为 所以

它很

软 它不是那么直接 很难，

我不同意，但我不这么认为，

当然你可以用它来讨论

意见，但你也

可以在制定计划时使用它，你

这个周末要去那个派对吗？我

不这么认为 分歧，但它

可以用作否定

我认为中文是最难

学的语言 你可以说我不这么

认为 所以我认为阿拉伯语是

最难学的语言 是的，

你是对的，是的，你是对的 表示

您是正确的，是的，我同意您

的看法 人

可能是不正确的 你知道

意大利辣香肠比萨是世界上最美味的

比萨吗 是的

你是对的 你可以把它改成那是

正确的 你可以用你

来专门谈论这个人

本身 但那是对的 是的 那是对的

我猜那个信息是正确的，所以我

猜是这样的 同意或

不同意你可以说我猜所以

通常用这种语气说我

猜所以你知道我们并没有真正说我

猜所以一般来说就像你不能

完全做出决定或者你不想

做出 一个决定你可以说我猜

所以嘿我们今晚要去吃

中餐晚餐你

想来吗是的我猜所以你不会感觉很

强烈我猜所以我

恐怕我不同意这是一个相当

您可以在商业场合使用的礼貌表达，

例如，我

害怕在这里并不意味着我真的很

害怕或我真的很害怕，而只是

它是一种软化剂，用于在

句子的开头引入

负面意见，所以

恐怕我不同意，或者我不能

同意你的观点，例如，我认为你

需要为你的公司采用一项新政策，

我担心我不同意这是一种

软性的不同意见，听起来

比你更正式一些

到目前为止，我们讨论过的其他一些短语绝对

绝对意味着 100 百分比 是 完全

准确 绝对 这是一个快速而

清晰的词，可以是礼貌的也可以是

随意的

词，表示你同意另一个

人 嘿，你

这个周末想去海滩吗 是的 绝对

绝对

哦，这就是结束

所以

这些是一些短语 你可以用它

来同意和不同意其他人

，他们有很多，所以你

可以根据自己的喜好混合和匹配它们，

所以试试看非常感谢

想从第一堂课开始说真正的英语

在englishclass101.com 注册您的免费终身帐户

大家好，我的名字是艾丽西亚，今天

我再次加入工作室 by

michael hello hi 迈克尔感谢您

今天再次加入我们今天我们

将研究一些学习

另一种语言的技巧所以我们每个人都

准备了一些我们认为

在学习另一种语言时非常有用的东西

我们在一定程度上学习了另一种

语言，嗯，所以我们

将讨论

对我们有用的东西，

以及在你练习英语

技能时可能对你有用的东西，所以让我们开始吧，你想

开始

肯定去吧，嗯，我 会说

吸收媒体这

实际上是当我遇到某人时，他们

听起来像一个以英语为母语的人，

我去你知道你来自哪里，你

来自澳大利亚，美国不，不，我来自

等等等等，

你的意思是你是 不是以英语为母语的

人，每次他们告诉

我我说你知道你是怎么学习的，

我是一名英语老师我想

知道我想帮助人们等等等等

，每一次他们告诉我哦，我

只是爱

等等等等文化，所以我通常喜欢

美国文化，我喜欢贾斯汀·比伯

和 Lady gaga 等等等等等等，所以他们

每天都在阅读他们在

看电影，他们坐在

youtube 上，只是吸收它，

感觉不到 就像你在学习，但是

哟 你是

嗯，所以你更有可能

学习，所以这是一种有趣的学习方式，

嗯，它对我有

帮助 我正在学习的语言 是的，我认为

这是一个非常好的技巧 我有相同的

东西 基本上我的只是措辞

略有不同 我说找到

你感兴趣的目标

语言所以如果英语是你的目标

语言，不管它可能是

音乐 如果是电影 如果是漫画书

我不知道是不是你是否有

兴趣 约会

会说你目标语言的人 不管

是什么 找到能激励你的

东西 让你

想学习的东西 让你想去 学习那门

语言，这样你就知道你知道

这样做的动力我完全

同意你的观点是的，我认为这是一个很好的提示，

好吧很酷，所以我们有

一个相同的东西我想我会分享我的

另一个，如果 没关系，

嗯，我的下一个

是 我试着自己做，但我

知道我想念我每隔一段时间就会搞砸

每天练习，即使

只有几分钟，呃，你是否可以腾出一个

小时或两个小时，或者

我自己在我学习的时候学习 你知道

通勤在地铁上工作，

呃，找一些你每天都可以做的事情，

这样你就不会失去

你知道失去你在学习中的位置，

无论是词汇还是选择

一个新的语法点来看看

只是你知道在电视上找到一个

你认为很有趣的新词组

每天成为一个积极的学习者

真的真的真的有助于

你说话和

理解另一种语言的能力 它只是

每天练习

我认为这真的是

对任何事情有用的建议

我认为很多人你

不知所措而且你知道你认为男人我

想在这里无论是锻炼

还是弹钢琴或其他什么你

只想完成你知道一年的

一天花的时间，所以你

学习非常努力，你知道你会

拖延，然后有一天你会

尽可能多地补习，你会

筋疲力尽，然后你几周几个月都没有这样做

，这不是人类的方式

工作，我们是习惯的创造者，无论

是最好的还是最伟大的，无论他们

说像你这样的语言，都和你一样

出色，或者

弹钢琴或其他什么，

每次你问他们时，都是一

砖一瓦，所以我同意 100

而且我也不会一直遵循这个建议这

很难 懒惰，你会被淘汰，你

会失败，是的，但你不能就这样放弃，

就让它失败，只要

记住你正在取得进步的大局，

即使有一些

下降，所以如果你很忙 工作

无论如何 恢复它 继续练习

是的 英语 恢复

englishclas s101.com

[笑声]

你的下

一个秘诀是什么，嗯，所以我的下一个秘诀，嗯，

也与每天练习有关，

无所畏惧地练习，所以这意味着

你知道学习一些基本

的英语短语很容易你好，我很好，谢谢

你和你 你听起来像个机器人

，你在

你的小舒适区感觉很舒服，但你

不会扩大你必须愿意

犯错误，我认为这

就像跳舞一样，

如果你害怕你看起来很愚蠢，如果

你 ‘你是不是很保守，你

在俱乐部的一边，你只是

有点像在你的

小舒适泡泡里移动一个肩膀它看起来真的很

愚蠢它看起来比

你真的要全力以赴更愚蠢 出去

玩，玩得开心 是的，我认为这

和语言是一样的，不要只

拘泥于你的小安慰，你好，

我很好，谢谢你，你

听起来像个机器人，是的，你必须

玩得开心试试 用

那些你可能搞砸的大词

没关系 这就是你像孩子一样学习的方式

嗯所以让我们看看你的另一个我的小费我的

最后一个小费然后呃有点笼统我

想我只是选择了沉浸式嗯这

并不一定意味着你必须

去你所在的国家 知道他们

在哪里说你正在学习的语言，

但只要找到一种方法，

即使只是

每天或每周一次的一小段时间，

或者如果有某种方法

可以让你沉浸在

语言中 你学习了

一段时间，只学习你知道

西班牙语或只学习英语

，呃，每天或每周每个月的一段时间，

不管

它是定期的，所以你

习惯了 听到这个并

体验到我认为真的

很有帮助 没有意识到

现在是 21 世纪 ev 每个人都有

联系，所以很多人只是假设

，如果你搬到这个国家，你

就会学习这门语言，因为

沉浸式是你所知道的最好的语言之一，

一次又一次

证明了学习语言的方法，

但那是 并非总是如此，就像我

在不同国家有很多

朋友根本不学，

他们嫁给了当地人，但他们

只是坐在 Facebook 上

和你的老朋友聊天很容易，但

实际上你从来不知道 练习并把它

放在那里，所以嗯，

如果你不能去另一个

国家，不要担心，因为

即使你有时你知道这是

那种心态，它实际上正在这样做

是的，我同意我同意很好，

你的 最后一个提示 我的最后一个提示是

对语法持

保留态度，所以当然语法对于

学习一门语言是必不可少的，这是

毫无疑问的，你绝对应该

专注于这一点，但我

发现当你从

非母语英语 演讲者

他们觉得教授语法是安全的，因为

即使

他们的发音不正确或任何其他

的，他们也可以教他们设定的规则

，

你知道你可以进入

那个常规，但大多数语言的现实

是我们都打破了这些规则

如果你的语法有点偏离或者

你在学习它时遇到困难，请不要太担心，

只是顺其自然，试着

重复你听到的内容，是的

，虽然我不了解你 不，我认为这是一个

有趣的观点，因为我

认为就像你说的那样，我认为语法

对很多人来说是一个非常安全的地方，

因为就像你说的那样有

规则很明显，我可以看到你

知道如果我放一个 像这样的名词和动词，

然后我要造一个句子

说这个，我明白

这真的很容易理解，但我

认为这是很多

学习者和我自己的事情，我也对此感到内疚，

因为有一个

限制你可以学习多少语法 就像一旦你

学会了语法，你就是你，你已经

学会了语法，我认为有可能

掌握任何语言的语法，

但词汇量

每年都在不断变化，有

新词和每一种语言

得到发展的人

每天都在编新词，尤其是用英语所以

实验你知道一旦你发现

你知道你已经学会了你已经学会

了语法

继续前进你知道不断探索新

词汇找到新的和有趣的

事情要做 你给自己的工具，

所以不要害怕

尝试你的词汇，如果

你发现一些你可能

想尝试用谷歌这样的动词来制作动词的东西，

试试看它是否有效，如果

你周围的其他人很困惑

如果你周围的其他人

笑或者你知道

继续对话可能没有用，嘿，也许你刚刚

创造了一个你永远不知道的新词，

所以试试吧，非常感谢 j 向

我们寻求本课的英语技巧

我们下次

再见 最常见的是在

流行的英语词典，所以让我们

开始吧

看起来比实际更

令人兴奋或更重要或更酷

的一句话你

可能会说我的同事太自命不凡

他总是夸大他的故事以

使自己听起来很重要不要

自命不凡下一个词无处不

在无处不在只是意味着 您

随处可见 智能手机

智能手机

我们的智能手机仍在嘲笑

智能手机 这是一种非常聪明的蕨类植物

您可以知道何时需要额外

氧气造句呃你可能会说

智能手机无处不在，每个

人现在都有一个，我也有一个，尽管呃，

虽然只是意味着虽然在一个句子中

她正在取得进步，尽管相当

缓慢

对你来说真的很清楚

也许如果你在看

报纸，一个句子

写得有点奇怪，你可能会说

嗯，这个意思有点

模棱两可

你真正喜欢别人的地方

可能是你的家人 可能

是伴侣 浪漫的伴侣

可能是你真正喜欢的食物 也可能是你真正喜欢的食物

只要你有非常

强烈的情感 你可以用爱这个词

例如我爱 比萨 这是我

最喜欢的食物

好吧

，这就是字典中常用词的结尾

我希望你

学到了一些新东西 试试看

，我们再见 下次再来

更多每周的话再见

[音乐]

这对我来说听起来不自然

滚动和滚动

好的欢迎回到每周的话我是

艾丽西亚今天我们要

谈论不酷的短语

哇哦，

我可能说了很多这样的

短语，所以我要让自己难堪

了 第一个短语是甜的哦，甜的不再

酷了 甜的意思是酷 甜的

意思是很好的东西 你可能会

说 哦，伙计，你

刚刚做的滑板技巧很甜

groovy 我还是说 groovy 嗯 groovy

意味着很酷 groovy 意味着好 嗯它

在 70 年代使用过，当你知道时髦的

groovy 音乐很流行

时 我们可以使用“

稳”字，“稳”是一个

老式的短语

夫妇

不是哦这是这个 这个词实际上

是整个愚人节

假期的基础，

这是一个谎言，特别是我

会对初中生

说这句话非常流行，他们可能会说

类似嘿，

嗯，史蒂夫认为你很可爱，不是

那么换句话说 它通常被用作侮辱

duh 当有人说一些

非常愚蠢或非常

明显的

事情时使用，所以如果你说类似

哦，嘿，正在下雨，另一个

可能也可以看着窗外的人，

你们都坐在前面

呃，

因为你刚刚指出了一些

非常明显的事情，你也可以

在你做或说一些非常愚蠢的事情时用杜赫来取笑自己

，一旦你意识到这一点，你可以去

啊，是的，我今天正在学习，但我

不酷

，就这样结束了哦，好吧，这些是

一些不再酷的短语，我

希望你学到了一些关于

不再酷的东西，但你

仍然可以使用这些词，只是你知道

不要期望听起来 r

如果你使用这些词，真的

很有趣或很

时髦 我们

将讨论我们

被问到的问题所以让我们开始你今天

要讨论的第一个问题是什么

迈克尔我想讨论

英式英语和美式英语之间的主要区别是什么

所以

对我来说

我会 想把这个排除在外，

加拿大人和美国人听起来几乎

一样，我们很难

区分，即使是母语为

英语的人，也有一些

迹象表明你知道他们会说一些

话，但通常是地区性的，所以我

猜北美人，然后喜欢英国

英语，嗯，还有很多

不同的

口音和方言，你知道这一切都

取决于，但对我来说，最简单的方法

是

美国人

说出每一个词，我们都很l oud，

我们张开了很多嘴，你好，

你在哪里，

水老师，我们发音每一个声音，

所以嗯，对我来说，一个死的赠品是

那个 r 结束 r

对，这很难 uh 我听

元音并尝试猜测 所以

你的问题是关于英国

英语和美国英语

还有澳大利亚英语有苏格兰

英语有爱尔兰英语有

很多不同的英语

方言老实说有时我们

很难理解我们都来自

相对相同的部分 美国，所以我们有

相同的说话风格，我们的口音是

相同的，嗯，但是要通过所有

不同的方言来尝试和

近似来尝试他们尝试

说他们不好可能

只是浪费时间，但你是 在

互联网

上

查一下好吧我想我们会去下一个嗯

让我们看看我的问题

让我们看看我要从一个

语法问题开始，我得到了很多呃一个

语法问题，我来了 ss

学生问我这个

问题现在时与进行

时uh有什么区别

我应该何时使用现在时与

进行时所以我的意思是

动词现在时uh用于

呃事实事物总是真实的

事物 是您的常规

日程的一部分，进行时态对它有一些

不同的含义，它有一些不同的

用途，但其中一个含义或

用途之一是表达

不属于

您的常规日程或其他用途的暂时的东西

描述一种趋势

正确，但如果你说的

是你每天上班的地方，

那可能

是你办公室的位置，如果是的话，可能是

你工作的国家或城市

作为你常规日程的一部分你

想解释一个

关于你生活的事实你应该使用

现在时而不是进行时

所以那个句子的正确版本

应该是我在美国工作

这是我常规日程的一部分如果

但是 例如，你只在美国呆了

一周，例如

你可以使用进行时态，

但更自然的说法是，例如

本周我在美国工作，这是

一个更自然的句子，使用

我如何发音 th 声音

所以

你知道取决于我

教谁英语，他们

会有不同发音的问题，

但对我来说，我

认为在许多不同文化中常见的一个

是 th 声音，嗯，我

再次认为这可以追溯到喜欢

不同的说话方式以及

美国人如何发音，

我们将说话的方式推到

嘴尖

只是有点害羞，

看起来不自然，当你说出正确的声音时，几乎就像

你可以咬掉你的

舌尖，然后另一件事要注意的

是，它可以有一个硬或软或

有声或无声的声音，

所以是硬的或有声的你哼

那个然后像认为它是一个软的

或清音你不哼你不

振动你只是说

想想

但它仍然是舌头去触摸

你的牙齿

想想

那个

嗯 这是另一个语法点，我

不时会收到有关它

是现在完成时与

简单过去时的问题，嗯，问题是

我什么时候使用它们所以现在完成

时呃让我们看一个现在

完成时的例子是我 去过

巴黎

呃 简单的过去时 呃 我去

了巴黎

巴黎 例句它是

过去发生的事情，但是

确切的时间并不重要，我们

只想说我有过去巴黎的生活

经历

简单的过去但是用于指代过去

的特定时间点

，例如 我去年夏天去了巴黎

，重要的是你知道我去年夏天去了

如果你去巴黎的时间点

不重要，请使用

现在完成时 um 所以这

对于谈论你的

旅行经历和谈论

你的学习经历非常有用 你

吃过和没吃过的食物

嗯，所以请记住什么

时候应该使用这两种食物

巴黎和

后续答案哦，是的，我再次

使用现在完成时去过巴黎

，但是一个常见的模式是

用一个简单的过去问题来跟进这个答案，

你什么时候去的 所以你可以看到

它从现在完成时变为

简单的过去时，所以一个更大的生活

体验到一个更简单的生活

体验，嗯，所以它们被一起使用，

但要小心尝试意识到

我是在谈论整体生活

体验还是 一种非常具体的生活

经历 这是我的许多

学生都在努力的经历

这更具文化性

为什么美国人在

房子

里的床上穿鞋等等

嗯，

我觉得这取决于，这

开始改变了 我

在大多数情况下都会脱鞋 房子，但我想这更

适合舒适，而我觉得

在世界的东边，

它更像是

一种清洁的东西，如果

你仍然穿你的鞋子，那是相当

禁忌的，而在美国，我觉得

大多数人 根据我的经验，轶事

证据只是个人经验，

大多数

地方你脱鞋，但如果

他们有派对，他们会让人们

在屋内穿鞋，他们不在乎

，我的很多朋友都会看到

ameri 可以看电影，他们看到有人

在沙发上的床上穿着鞋子的主角，

嗯，从我的经验来看，这

没什么大不了的，但通常你

不会为我这样做，就像经验法则

一样 没有说的规则是你可以

把鞋子放在上面，

但你不能让鞋子

碰到沙发，你可以直接挂在沙发上，

所以如果你想躺在

沙发上而不脱鞋，你可以

让你的 脚挂掉，嗯，因为是的

，它们当然会变脏，但是

是的，

在我们的文化中并没有那么强调它我不知道我的最后一个

问题是我可以问一个

问题答案是肯定

的答案是 是的，在大约 95

% 的情况下，

我可以问一个问题的答案是肯定的

你的英语课是的，请

提问，嗯，但是 二这也是

我最近和几个人讨论的

关于

我认为在说英语时非常重要的心态

我们有在亚洲教学的经验

可能有不同

的对话方式我不知道是不是这样 是

与其他国家的人进行对话的相同文化方式，

但是不要等待

发言的许可不要等待

进入对话就去做就

行了，不要等别人说

哦，你愿意吗？ 现在说，因为

这永远不会发生，

所以不要害羞，伸出你的舌头

，说一些事情，不要担心这

听起来很粗鲁或太客气，或者其他什么嗯，

是的，我不能同意更多是的，是的，

只是它的转变 心态如果

你开始说第二

语言的时候就像你说的 如果你

只是稍微改变一下你的心态 只是

在你的心态上做一个小的转变 也许

你会明白

啊这就是它所需要的只是放手

一点 你家的 e语言，看看

发生

了什么，所以这些是

我们被问到的一些关于文化英语教学的问题，

如果您有任何其他问题

，请确保将它们留在

评论中给我们，或者如果您有

什么问题 一直想知道，或者

您最近是否遇到了什么让您感到困惑的事情，

无论您在评论中留下什么给我们

，也许我们以后会讨论它

非常感谢您观看这一

集英语话题，请

确保 如果您还没有订阅我们的频道

，我们

下次再见，

欢迎回到每周用词我的名字是

艾丽西亚，本周我们将

讨论常见的拼写错误的词

捕捉拼写错误

相信相信某事只是意味着

在否定中接受某事是真的还是

假的

不要那样做，

如果你在记住

单词的正确拼写方式时遇到困难，请

考虑一下 lie 在

单词的中间，

如果你一直在

关注每周，这有点违反直觉 单词系列 呃，

如果你想说服朋友

做一些你可能会说的事情，请

相信我，这将是有史以来最好的

派对，你必须来，好吧，

下一个很多，这通常是

拼写错误，因为人们喜欢

把 uh and the lot together 它

实际上是两个独立的词 ah and lot

a lot 只是表示大量的

东西或大量的东西

很多东西在一个句子中你

可能会说我有很多

爱好我喜欢滑雪单板滑雪和

白水漂流，所以只需分别拼写

不要把它们放在一起

哦，下一个

那里和那里的

英语学生往往

比以英语为母语的人更擅长拼写这些单词

，我觉得这很有趣

那里的第一个

是指一个地方，因为他

住在那里，书在那里，

而不是你现在所在的地方。

第二种形式

是他们的所有格形式，

因为那是他们的房子，是他们的

狗，属于某些人的东西 other

group people 和他们的最后一个形式

他们是撇号

表示对另一

组人的平等，因为他们是学生，

他们是老师，

是他们向前的缩写形式，

下一个词是感激的，感激感激的

意思 只是

表示你很感激

你可能会说的句子中的某事哦我很

感激我的老师在课后花时间

向我解释这个概念呃

感激通常是拼写错误因为

这个格栅

听起来就像这个词一样伟大

但实际上 great good meaning is

uh not the correct spelling for this

word we use great 相反

，grade的这个拼写也用作

动词，如integ 给厨房里的东西

打分 嗯，

我不知道这是否与

此

有关 因为 i

和 ea 在 e 之前

除了 c 之后的 i 规则适用的地方 um 这

不是 100 条真正的规则 um 但通常

在字母 c 之后，

如果字母 e 和我需要

在字母 ci 之后遵循它通常

不是 第一个来的字母通常是 e

那是第一个字母所以它应该是

ceive receive 而不是 recive 或

类似的东西 uh 在一个

例句中你可能会说 uh 我

在生日那天收到了我朋友的礼物我

真的很

高兴 下一个词是结束 好吧 结束

不是很常见的拼写错误，嗯，但是

感谢您加入我们的这一

集每周单词请注意

您的这些单词的拼写，因为

正确地把它们弄好非常重要，

再次感谢，我 我们

下周见 是

好习惯我打赌让我们开始是的

天线天线的复数形式是

天线我想我会说天线

天线

我想我实际上可能只是说

天线

例如旧电视机上的天线会是这样的

样子 我们称之为兔子耳朵，

你必须调整兔子耳朵你

必须调整天线以使

电视上的信号更清晰地进入

错误他们的头上有天线

下一个词是千禧年复数

是千禧年a 千年是一千年的时期

一千年是一

千年 一连串的

千年将被称为千年

你可以说

自从地球形成以来已经过去了许多千年

仙人掌

是 ext word 仙人掌是一种植物 呃

这些是仙人掌的手臂 我

无法制作仙人掌的树干

哇

你可以在屏幕上放一张图片

而不是我神奇的

仙人掌仙人掌的复数是仙人掌或

仙人掌我想我 ‘我更倾向于

说仙人掌，所以当你去沙漠时，

你可能会说，

如果你踩到一个仙人掌，它可能真的会伤害

你，下一个是我

认为我从未使用过的有趣的仙人掌 这个词

是单数的，比如如果你有一个

游泳池，或者你见过一个池塘，或者

其他什么东西

一段时间藻类细菌

和喜欢生活在

水中的东西有一个单数形式，我

只是我第一次看它

我不知道藻类如何使用

复数然后你会说我需要

清洁我的游泳池 里面有很多藻类

是的

下一个是

ox 用于

农业

我不知道它们不再是

很多

了 有奇怪复数

形式的单词，所以当

你

尝试在对话中使用它们时请记住它们，并

使用正确的复数形式谢谢

你本周再次加入我们

每周的单词下次我们会看到

你更多的每周单词 这很奇怪，

我们下周再见，以获得更多

有趣的信息，请注意再见，

欢迎回到每周的单词我的名字是

艾丽西亚，本周我们将

看看常见的误解

短语第一句话是我不在乎更少的

人 经常会说我可以不在乎，

但这并不意味着

我不在乎那么短，因为

我不在乎我不可能

不在乎这种

情况，所以它只是强调

无论 我的

同事项目没有成功，

我不在乎

哦，

混蛋，接下来就是把它扼杀在萌芽状态

很多人说把它扼杀在屁股上，它

应该扼杀它 在这种

情况下，芽可能是指一朵花开花前

的小形状，在

花实际开放之前我们称之为

花蕾，所以咬住某物意味着

快速采取某物，例如咬，

采取动作咬住

花蕾中的某物 意思是在

事情变成

其他事情之前阻止某些

事情发生

编织一件毛衣因为我

早些时候在编织一件毛衣 毛衣的

一部分在那里

纱线已经开始解开

你对自己说我的天哪我需要 将

其扼杀在萌芽状态，

因此您决定立即修复它，

而不是让毛衣

在接下来的工作中慢慢解开，这是

一件又一件的事情，而不是同一件，我

可能会内疚 如果这个实际上是一个

并且相同的只是指的

是可能有两个名字的东西，

但是这两个名字都指的是

同一件事或同一个人我的老师

和我父亲是同一个人

也许你知道你爸爸是否 是你

在学校的老师吗？你可以

在紧张的时候用这个表达吗？ 我

不太确定

当人们

期待了解

某

事的结果时，这个表达是什么意思 提心吊胆地

了解故事

的结尾 可能是下一个有争议的

问题 不是无声的问题，而是有争议的问题

无关紧要的事情

谈论它没有意义 e 没有意义

一个情绪

点 一个很有趣的 moo 点 我不知道

啊让我们在互联网上问 嘿 siri 哦

不

好吧 你正在寻找一个人来填补一个

职位 你找到了一个人，他是一个

伟大的程序员，他太棒了

但这是一个有争议的问题，因为他是一名

罪犯，这是一个很长的时间，

这是最后一个，好吧，这

是通常被误解的短语的结尾

当你使用这些短语时要小心，并

确保它们是正确的，

非常感谢你加入我们 本周我们

下次再见，再见，

你对某事感到兴奋

或喜欢期待某事

这句话的起源尚不清楚

大家好，我的名字是艾丽西亚，今天

我再次加入工作室

迈克尔你好

，今天我们将

讨论英语的坏习惯，所以这些是

我们以前听说过的一些事情，或者

说英语为母语和

非英语母语的人犯的错误，

这让我们发疯，所以

让我们

开始吧 s tart 你的第一件事是什么，

嗯，这并没有让我太烦，

直到

有人指出我的问题，然后

它让我发疯，

嗯，

是的，好吧，一旦你告诉某人

他们说

嗯

或喜欢

太多，

然后每次他们说 注意

它，真的很难想

出来，因为这些是

你几乎总是使用的填充词，或者我总是使用，

也许美国人总是使用但

它是的，不使用这个词真的很难不使用

或者我认为当你

只是 随便说说 对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对对

对很好

在英语

每周单词视频中，“

like”这个词是美国人过度使用的词之一

我会想的事情

关于我说喜欢他们的频率，好吧，

让我们看看我要去一个我

认为我们所有人都在谈论并且

我们所有人甚至在我们打开相机之前都知道

但嗯这是一个

这个写这个是 一个

让我发疯的书面问题，

这与其他词有很多变化，

但这是一个很大的问题，你的，

这是一个不等号，你的

撇号，所以这个是你的，而

你

是的，这是一个所有格词，这是 你的

衬衫 你的包 你的任何东西 你的

撇号 re 是 ur 的缩写形式

有趣的是，虽然我会

说我很少看到非英语母语人士

犯这个错误大多数

时候是母语人士犯这个

错误拜托伙计们

真的

我 只是它只会让我发疯

和 其中一个有撇号，在

这两种情况

下似乎都是合理的，因为您可以

使用撇号表示所有格或

收缩，所以两者看起来都很合理，

您只需要像您知道的那样做一个

肺炎设备弄清楚它有

规则我敢肯定 有一个你知道的

英语 英语课 101

集你知道没有撇号

是所有格

撇号 s 是为它存储

的那个，或者它是

正确的，

但它是有道理的

，有些人很难记住 嗯，

你或你在你的，这真的

让我心烦意乱，是的，因为它是如此简单，

它很简单，嗯，我们

在此之前在那里讨论过这个，

那里和那里

的所有格他们

因为那是他们的房子，那是他们的狗

，它在那边 它们是

撇号，它们是三个

不同的，那里的声音

相同，但它们有不同的含义

，它们的拼写也应该不同，

所以请用本地人 演讲

者聚在一起

好吧 好吧 下一个给你 什么是

你的下一个

重新说这种语言

任何语言，你让它变得越来越

快，你有点把这些词混

在一起，比如

奶奶或奶奶 以为这

就是你拼写的方式，我记得

拼写 gramma

有人告诉我不，不是这样，

所以它可能有道理为什么

人们会说 can of 但

它不是不正确的，你不

应该养成这样做的习惯 我认为大多数

这些事情在他们还是孩子的时候你都可以原谅，

但最好把它

扼杀在萌芽状态，因为

你知道这只会变成一个坏习惯，

是的，我的意思是可能有

一个正确的缩写拼写

版本 恰巧 ld 的撇号

ve 我的意思是我会争辩说它

更随意，这可能不是

最正确的写法

如果你想写一封正式的信，会让你听起来更随意，

你应该 ii

如果

你正在写一篇学术论文，

你不应该使用缩略语 不要使用缩略词

拼写出来 拼出整个事情，

你会听起来 正式得多

，至少在我看来，受过更多教育，

好吧，太好了，这个话题让

我都很喜欢，

好吧，让我们看看我会去

好吧另一个

我觉得现在几乎很酷的发音问题，

好吧，

让我问 你问

这个发音没问题所以我已经

在这张卡片上写了行为但是它是

问问让我问好

所以我们在之前的

视频中谈到的这个 lemmy 是让我在

这里把它承包到非常 休闲

旅鼠 但我在这里使用了 lemmy 因为

这通常是在一个

非常随意的环境中

说的 不是斧头，

它是问

再问

一次，所以就像 lemmy lemmy 还可以

快，听起来像 lemmy，我的意思是

正确的，但是当您说

行为时，这完全是错误的

有点像流体斑点

，只是您只需切换两个

uh 是的音节，类似地，我听到

这个词是 uh asterisk 以及

小星星，就像

键盘上的数字 8 或其他任何

东西，它不是星号

或什么 我什至不知道它是星号

所以

发音过度

所以这个是相反的方向所以

一直以来当

你使用不正确的单词版本时我们一直在吹毛求疵

我认为过度发音也

同样具有破坏性但是 而不是

让你看起来很愚蠢，而是让你看起来

自命不凡，例如，

我们不会用英语说我们不会使用所有

的音节和巧克力，所以

当你拼写它时，它就像你拼写巧克力

等巧克力

一样，所以就像在西班牙语中一样 或

类似的东西，他们仍然会

说巧克力之类的东西，

但是用英语我们把它拿出来了

，所以即使你仍然拼写

所有这些音节，母语人士现在

说巧克力巧克力或

舒适

舒适，这就是它的拼写方式，但

以英语为母语的人 我们说

舒服

，这就像现在，

我认为它就像是一致的，所以也许

当俚语变得如此

流行以至于它成为新语言的一部分时

如果你不随波逐流，

即使它是不

正确的，语言现在

已经进化了 只是

我想我可以快速完成它们虽然

你还有更多顺便说一句

不不好吧那我会很快去嗯这

是两个我的最后

两个只是我的学生实际上

与嗯斗争的一对所以也许这个 是

你也可以做的事情，

嗯，这个，嗯，只是一个例句，

我想去那里我已经

在这个词下划线了，

当我们

谈论一个特定的城市或特定的

国家时，我们也使用这个词 我想去纽约 我

想去欧洲

但是没有一个具体的地方

很好，所以

这是一个错误，嗯，非母语

人士似乎

不时犯

嗯，也许可以

，然后我最近经常听到的

另一个词是这个短语

，如果是，然后是一个

国家，例如，在中国的情况

下，在埃及的情况下，或者

任何有人试图解释的地方，

比如政治局势或

该国家/地区的一项政策

以防万一

但实际上您不需要在

中国在欧洲在日本使用k-sub无论您

不需要使用kasiv这种模式

以防万一用于紧急情况

情况或用来谈论

经常与

天气有关的备用计划，例如，如果

下雨，活动将被取消或在龙卷风的情况下，

请

去您最近的疏散中心，我

不知道这样的事情，所以它被

使用了 因为像紧急情况一样，

它不习惯谈论

国家的政策，只是在

加上它更好更自然的地方，

所以这些是

我注意到非

母语人士有时会遇到的一些事情，所以

也许他们 会是 对你也有帮助，

所以非常感谢

你观看你是否有一个坏习惯，

你在说英语时

注意到了这个坏习惯，或者你注意到了一个坏习惯，以及

其他人在说英语

或写作或任何其他方面

把它留在评论中，让我们比较

一下，看看人们是否

还有其他问题可能会很

有趣，非常感谢

观看这一集，我们

很快就会再见到你，再见

，我们去这里，我去这里，我去

会听起来像一个非常刻薄或

难以与人一起工作的人，只做

我说的

我们做不到的下一个短语是我们

不能这样做，这也可以更改

为我不能再这样做了，这听起来

就像您在尝试做之前就放弃了

我不能做的事情

积极态度，所以非常感谢你加入

我们的这一课，我们

很快就会再见到你，

我很不安全 我的表演

能力哦，有声音

从这里

传来，我喜欢 awkwa rd pauses

今天的视频是关于美国人

过度使用的词我还没有看到这些词，

但显然这将是一系列

的词，我们作为美国人，我是

美国人，嗯，我们过度使用，我们经常使用，

所以让我们开始吧，哦，第一个词

绝对绝对

绝对是

美国人过度使用的一个词 我们用它

来强调短语

的结尾 强调句子的结尾 uh

as in

oh that the party last week was so great 是的，

绝对是，或者同意

像这样的人 哦，天哪，就

在过去的几天里，我

在互联网上多次看到这个词，

并以如此愚蠢的方式使用这个

词，这个词的

字面意思是实际上或真正的东西，

这真的是我吃过的最好的汉堡包

曾经吃过

如此

字面意思真正或实际上

意味着在那个人的整个

生命中，这是他们吃过的最好的汉堡包，

在句子中被滥用很多，就像乔治布什

从字面上支持战争一样 在伊拉克或

通过认真地说

哦，这太糟糕了，或者像你所有的问题一样告诉我

哦 我的上帝，我只是像
