| 01:31 | before they expired . Yeah . Mhm Hi everybody welcome | |
| 01:43 | back to ask Alicia the weekly series where you ask | |
| 01:46 | me questions and I answer them . Maybe let's get | |
| 01:49 | to your first question this week . First question this | |
| 01:51 | week comes from Zakaria flip flop high Zakaria . Zakaria | |
| 01:56 | says , hi Alicia , could you please tell me | |
| 01:59 | why we sometimes use the verb do before another verb | |
| 02:03 | . Thank you . Yeah sure . I've talked about | |
| 02:04 | this before in the series but we use do before | |
| 02:09 | another verb when we want to emphasize the opposite of | |
| 02:12 | something . So let's take a look at a few | |
| 02:14 | pairs of sentences to see how this works . Sorry | |
| 02:18 | I don't have time to help you right now , | |
| 02:20 | but you do have time , you're just looking at | |
| 02:23 | facebook and I don't know anything about today's meeting . | |
| 02:27 | Just that they're making a big announcement . Uh huh | |
| 02:30 | . So you do know something . Okay . So | |
| 02:33 | in both of these example sentences we have a person | |
| 02:36 | A . And person B . Person A . Says | |
| 02:39 | something to the effective I don't know something or I | |
| 02:42 | can't do something or I don't have time to help | |
| 02:44 | you as with person A . In both of these | |
| 02:47 | examples and then person B notices something about person A | |
| 02:51 | or about the things that person A . Said and | |
| 02:54 | they emphasize no that's not true and they do this | |
| 02:58 | by including do before the verb . So in the | |
| 03:02 | first example situation the person person A . In this | |
| 03:05 | situation said I don't have time to help you right | |
| 03:08 | now , that person be said . You do have | |
| 03:11 | time . So you'll often hear do emphasize before the | |
| 03:14 | verb that follows to show that's not true . So | |
| 03:18 | that emphasis in the speaker's voice means that's not true | |
| 03:21 | or the opposite of that is true . And the | |
| 03:23 | reason is that person be presumably or we think sees | |
| 03:27 | person A looking at facebook . The same thing happens | |
| 03:30 | in the second situation , Person A . Says I | |
| 03:33 | don't know anything about the meeting just that there's gonna | |
| 03:36 | be a big announcement . And so person B understands | |
| 03:39 | . Wait , so you do know something about the | |
| 03:42 | meeting again ? Do proceeds or comes before the verb | |
| 03:46 | . No , they're so speaker B is emphasizing that | |
| 03:49 | the speaker that speaker a rather actually does know something | |
| 03:53 | . So we're using do before the verb as emphasis | |
| 03:57 | in this way . So I hope that this helps | |
| 04:00 | you . Thanks very much for an interesting question . | |
| 04:02 | All right , let's move on to our next question | |
| 04:04 | . Next question comes from Emma . Hi Emma . | |
| 04:07 | Emma says , hi Alicia . I would like to | |
| 04:09 | know if there are differences between a while for a | |
| 04:13 | while and in a while if there is . Can | |
| 04:16 | you explain ? Thanks so much . Sure . Awhile | |
| 04:19 | means a period of time . So we use for | |
| 04:22 | a while and in a while quite differently for a | |
| 04:26 | while is used when we're talking about a duration of | |
| 04:30 | time , we're using it to talk about the length | |
| 04:32 | of time that something happens . So duration is really | |
| 04:36 | the key here . Let's take a look at a | |
| 04:38 | few example sentences . I stayed in the restaurant for | |
| 04:41 | a while after I finished eating . I'm gonna take | |
| 04:45 | a walk around the neighborhood for a while . I | |
| 04:48 | traveled around Europe for a while when I was in | |
| 04:50 | my 20's . Okay , so let's compare this then | |
| 04:54 | to in a while when we use in a while | |
| 04:57 | , we're talking about an upcoming activities , so this | |
| 05:00 | is not something that's going to happen now , but | |
| 05:03 | it's going to happen soon . So if it's helpful | |
| 05:06 | , you can think about replacing soon for in a | |
| 05:10 | while in the sentence , it has the same meaning | |
| 05:13 | . Let's look at some examples of this . I'm | |
| 05:15 | going to leave the office in a while , we're | |
| 05:18 | going to go to the coffee shop in a while | |
| 05:19 | , you want anything . So a question that maybe | |
| 05:22 | some of you have is what's the difference between these | |
| 05:25 | two sentences , sentences like these ? Like , I'm | |
| 05:28 | gonna walk around the neighborhood for a while and I'm | |
| 05:31 | going to walk around the neighborhood in a while so | |
| 05:34 | they seem very similar . But the for a while | |
| 05:36 | sentence would be said by somebody who is probably leaving | |
| 05:40 | now . Like they are leaving their house now and | |
| 05:43 | they just want to report to someone their upcoming activity | |
| 05:46 | , they're going out of the house to walk around | |
| 05:48 | the neighborhood for a period of time . That's the | |
| 05:51 | duration of the activity . On the other hand , | |
| 05:53 | the in awhile sentence is like they're sharing their upcoming | |
| 05:57 | plan with someone possibly to invite them . Like I'm | |
| 06:01 | gonna walk around the neighborhood in a while . Do | |
| 06:03 | you want to come ? So these are the small | |
| 06:05 | differences that are proposition choices can make , especially with | |
| 06:09 | an expression like a while . So I hope that | |
| 06:12 | this helps you . Thanks very much for the question | |
| 06:14 | . Okay , let's move on to our next question | |
| 06:16 | . Next question is from Sung wan hai san juan | |
| 06:21 | san juan says hi Alicia . What does literally mean | |
| 06:24 | ? Do people use it the wrong way ? Yeah | |
| 06:27 | . Okay literally means the ordinary or the simple meaning | |
| 06:31 | of a word . It can also mean like truly | |
| 06:34 | exactly and so on . So it is used for | |
| 06:37 | emphasis yes but it's also used incorrectly a lot first | |
| 06:42 | let's take a look at the correct way to use | |
| 06:45 | literally for example , we raise literally hundreds of dollars | |
| 06:50 | at the fundraiser . He got his hands dirty literally | |
| 06:54 | helping out at the farm for a T . V | |
| 06:56 | . Show . Okay so these two example sentences show | |
| 07:00 | correct usage of the word literally in the first example | |
| 07:04 | it's literally hundreds . So the speaker wants to emphasize | |
| 07:08 | that exactly , really , truly hundreds of dollars were | |
| 07:12 | raised in a fundraiser . The reason that we use | |
| 07:14 | literally here is because we want to express that this | |
| 07:17 | is not an exaggeration . So an exaggeration means something | |
| 07:21 | that sounds like it's better or bigger than it actually | |
| 07:24 | is . So the speaker wants to communicate , it | |
| 07:26 | was truly hundreds of dollars . They use literally to | |
| 07:30 | do that . In the second example sentence about someone | |
| 07:33 | getting his hands dirty . The speaker wants to communicate | |
| 07:37 | that actually the tv host in this case truly did | |
| 07:41 | physically literally get his hands dirty in the process of | |
| 07:44 | making a T . V . Show . So there | |
| 07:46 | are two reasons that we use literally in this way | |
| 07:50 | . The first as in with the first example sentence | |
| 07:53 | is to show that something is not being exaggerated like | |
| 07:56 | the number or the amount that's described in the sentence | |
| 07:59 | is truly the number . So we're not just doing | |
| 08:02 | it for effect literally some amount . You may see | |
| 08:05 | this used the second use though , as we see | |
| 08:08 | in the second example sentence is with these expressions that | |
| 08:11 | have kind of double meanings , so get one's hands | |
| 08:15 | dirty or to get your hands dirty has two meanings | |
| 08:18 | . Yes , there's the literal meaning which is as | |
| 08:21 | it's written on the page for your hands to physically | |
| 08:24 | become dirty , but there's also another meaning to this | |
| 08:27 | phrase which is to do the work yourself to actually | |
| 08:30 | do work . So to get your hands dirty can | |
| 08:33 | have two meanings . The speaker using literally in the | |
| 08:37 | second example sentence means they want to emphasize that real | |
| 08:41 | true meaning of getting your hands dirty , like physically | |
| 08:45 | having dirt on your hands . So these are the | |
| 08:47 | two reasons that we use literally for emphasis to make | |
| 08:50 | sure that we're not accidentally exaggerating and to to make | |
| 08:55 | it clear that we mean the actual simple meaning of | |
| 08:58 | an expression . So again , to return to your | |
| 09:00 | second question literally is misused all the time . Native | |
| 09:05 | speakers want to use it for emphasis but they use | |
| 09:08 | it incorrectly . So let's take a look at two | |
| 09:11 | examples that are great examples of misuse of the word | |
| 09:15 | , literally I'm literally starving , can we go to | |
| 09:19 | lunch and there were literally millions of people at my | |
| 09:23 | house last night . Okay , so in both of | |
| 09:26 | these example sentences literally is used incorrectly , literally starving | |
| 09:31 | in the first sentence . So the problem here is | |
| 09:33 | that the speaker is probably not actually starving , starving | |
| 09:38 | means they are so hungry that they are actually dying | |
| 09:41 | , so literally starving is untrue . The speaker is | |
| 09:44 | probably not actually starving , they just want to express | |
| 09:48 | that they are very hungry . The correct way to | |
| 09:51 | express that would just be to say I'm starving , | |
| 09:54 | that's fine , you don't need to use literally in | |
| 09:56 | this sentence , but this is something native speakers probably | |
| 09:59 | say all the time . The second example sentence uses | |
| 10:02 | literally with a number , as in there were literally | |
| 10:05 | millions of people in my house last night . So | |
| 10:08 | it's not possible for millions of people to be in | |
| 10:10 | someone's house . The speaker just wants to emphasize how | |
| 10:14 | many people were at his or her home the previous | |
| 10:16 | night . So using literally as unnecessary here , you | |
| 10:20 | could just say there were so many people in my | |
| 10:22 | house last night or there were millions of people at | |
| 10:24 | my house last night . If you just drop literally | |
| 10:27 | from the sentence , we understand that you're exaggerating . | |
| 10:31 | So yes , literally is used incorrectly all the time | |
| 10:35 | and it's usually for these emphasis reasons . So I | |
| 10:38 | hope that this answer helps you . It's a very | |
| 10:40 | interesting question . Thanks very much for sending it along | |
| 10:42 | . Okay , let's move on to your next question | |
| 10:45 | . Next question comes from Andrew , Hi Andrew , | |
| 10:48 | Andrew says what's the meaning of ball game as in | |
| 10:51 | Youtube comments are a whole other ballgame ? Is this | |
| 10:55 | a question about something I tweeted ? That's funny . | |
| 10:57 | Ballgame here means situation , situation . So when we | |
| 11:02 | say a whole other ballgame , this is actually a | |
| 11:04 | set phrase , a whole other ballgame means or is | |
| 11:08 | used rather in situations where we're talking about one topic | |
| 11:12 | and then a second topic is introduced and the two | |
| 11:15 | are very different . So something something is a whole | |
| 11:18 | other ballgame means that second thing has like different rules | |
| 11:22 | and different standards from the first thing . So in | |
| 11:25 | the tweet that you took this expression from , I | |
| 11:27 | was talking about the differences between instagram direct messages , | |
| 11:31 | like random messages on instagram and then another person commented | |
| 11:35 | , like joined my conversation on twitter and said something | |
| 11:38 | about Youtube comments . And I responded , yeah , | |
| 11:40 | youtube comments are a whole other ballgame . So that | |
| 11:44 | means instagram direct messages . Random messages on instagram are | |
| 11:47 | completely different than Youtube comments . So a whole other | |
| 11:51 | ballgame means it's a whole other situation . I hope | |
| 11:54 | that this helps you . Thanks for the question . | |
| 11:56 | Okay , let's move on to our next question . | |
| 11:58 | Next question comes from Claudia . Hi Claudia , Claudia | |
| 12:02 | says , what is the difference between outcome and results | |
| 12:06 | ? Nice question . While in many cases they can | |
| 12:09 | be used in similar ways and to refer to very | |
| 12:12 | similar things . The difference here is in like the | |
| 12:16 | process . So we use results when we've done like | |
| 12:20 | work or research or were actually like actively trying to | |
| 12:25 | do something , we're actually trying to achieve something or | |
| 12:28 | to accomplish something . So we use this like when | |
| 12:31 | we're doing mathematical equations or as I said , like | |
| 12:34 | when we're doing research , maybe , or we're working | |
| 12:37 | together with teammates to achieve some kind of goal . | |
| 12:40 | That's when we use result outcome . On the other | |
| 12:43 | hand , it's kind of like just the way things | |
| 12:45 | ended up , so it's like maybe there wasn't so | |
| 12:48 | much work to achieve a specific goal , but at | |
| 12:51 | the end of the situation , this was like the | |
| 12:54 | thing that we ended up with . So let's take | |
| 12:57 | a look at a few examples . My research results | |
| 13:01 | showed that the new medication was effective , the test | |
| 13:04 | results were positive , everyone expected negative outcomes after the | |
| 13:08 | government's policy change , it wasn't possible to predict these | |
| 13:13 | outcomes . So the feeling here is that result is | |
| 13:16 | something that someone or some group of people worked to | |
| 13:19 | achieve worked to get outcome is kind of like , | |
| 13:22 | this is just the way that things are . So | |
| 13:24 | yes , in some situations you may be able to | |
| 13:27 | use both like for example research results or maybe research | |
| 13:30 | outcomes . But again , when you use outcomes it | |
| 13:33 | sounds like this is just the way it is . | |
| 13:34 | Whereas results sounds a little bit more like we tried | |
| 13:37 | . So this is kind of the difference in feeling | |
| 13:40 | between these words . I hope that it helps you | |
| 13:42 | . Thanks for the question . Hi everybody . Welcome | |
| 13:44 | back to ask Alicia the weekly series where you ask | |
| 13:47 | me questions and I answer them . Maybe . Okay | |
| 13:50 | , let's get to your first question this week . | |
| 13:52 | First question this week comes from Emma . Hi Emma | |
| 13:55 | . Emma says hi Alicia , can you explain the | |
| 13:59 | difference between will and be going to and will be | |
| 14:03 | doing or be going to be doing ? I would | |
| 14:06 | like to know when we use continuous forms instead of | |
| 14:09 | just using simple future tense . Sure , we use | |
| 14:13 | the continuous form when we want to talk about a | |
| 14:15 | future plan that we think will be in progress . | |
| 14:18 | So let's compare two example sentences . I'm going to | |
| 14:22 | start working in a new company soon . Three months | |
| 14:25 | from now . I'm going to be working in a | |
| 14:27 | new company . So in the first example sentence , | |
| 14:31 | I'm going to start working in a new company soon | |
| 14:33 | . We're talking about a future plan . We're just | |
| 14:36 | using simple future tense , going to there to express | |
| 14:40 | a future plan , a future action in this case | |
| 14:42 | using going to because we're quite sure about that plan | |
| 14:46 | in the second example sentence , however , three months | |
| 14:49 | from now I'm going to be working so we're using | |
| 14:53 | a time period or rather a point in time in | |
| 14:56 | the future . Three months from now . That means | |
| 14:58 | I'm indicating or I want to refer to a specific | |
| 15:02 | point in time in the future and talk about an | |
| 15:05 | action that I think will be ongoing at that future | |
| 15:09 | point in time . In those cases we use will | |
| 15:13 | be going to or going to be going to or | |
| 15:15 | something like that , going to be plus the I | |
| 15:17 | N G form of the verb . So we use | |
| 15:20 | that form to refer to an ongoing thing that we | |
| 15:24 | think will happen at a specific point in the future | |
| 15:27 | . You can just use the simple future tense will | |
| 15:29 | and going to to talk about general future plans without | |
| 15:32 | a specific point in time . But if you want | |
| 15:35 | to talk about something in the future , like a | |
| 15:37 | month from now or two months from now or years | |
| 15:40 | from now or whatever and you want to express a | |
| 15:42 | plan or some idea you have about something that will | |
| 15:45 | happen or be happening at that time . You can | |
| 15:48 | use will be going to are going to be plus | |
| 15:52 | the I N . G . Form of over so | |
| 15:54 | I hope that this helps you . Thanks for the | |
| 15:56 | question . Okay let's move on to your next question | |
| 15:59 | . Next question comes from our zoo high . Arzu | |
| 16:03 | Arzu says hi Alicia could you explain the difference between | |
| 16:07 | roughly approximately and nearly ? Yeah sure roughly and approximately | |
| 16:13 | . Mean the same thing . They both mean about | |
| 16:15 | the difference between these two words is that approximately sounds | |
| 16:19 | more formal than roughly ? So you would see approximately | |
| 16:24 | used in very formal writing in like scientific papers in | |
| 16:28 | situations where you need to express data you might hear | |
| 16:31 | roughly in everyday conversation used in place of about . | |
| 16:36 | So there's no meaning difference here . It's just a | |
| 16:39 | formality difference . Some examples Roughly 50 people attended the | |
| 16:43 | event . Approximately 100 people responded to our survey on | |
| 16:49 | the other hand nearly means almost a certain amount . | |
| 16:53 | So we use nearly before a number to express that | |
| 16:58 | we were very , very close to that number , | |
| 17:00 | but not quite . So this does not mean about | |
| 17:04 | it means very close to the number , but not | |
| 17:07 | exactly that amount . So for example , we could | |
| 17:10 | say nearly 50 people attended our event or nearly 100 | |
| 17:15 | people responded to our survey . So that means not | |
| 17:18 | quite 50 people attended or not quite 100 people responded | |
| 17:23 | , but it was very , very close . So | |
| 17:25 | in some approximately and roughly have the same meaning , | |
| 17:28 | just different levels of formality merely means almost but not | |
| 17:33 | quite or very close , but not quite . So | |
| 17:35 | I hope that this helps you . Thanks for the | |
| 17:37 | question . Okay , let's move on to your next | |
| 17:39 | question . Next question comes from mindful Alex , Hi | |
| 17:43 | mindful Alex . Mindful Alex says , hi Alicia , | |
| 17:46 | what tense , present or future must follow . A | |
| 17:49 | command clause . For example , one , let me | |
| 17:52 | know what you find versus let me know what you | |
| 17:56 | will find to let me know what you find versus | |
| 18:00 | tell me what you will find . Thanks a lot | |
| 18:02 | . Yes . You need to use present tense in | |
| 18:05 | these example sentences . So in your case the correct | |
| 18:08 | answers would be let me know what you find and | |
| 18:11 | tell me what you find . The same thing is | |
| 18:14 | true if you change the subject . So for example | |
| 18:17 | , if you're requesting an update from a third person | |
| 18:20 | meaning from someone outside the conversation , you can say | |
| 18:23 | , let me know what he finds or tell me | |
| 18:27 | what she finds . So you still need to follow | |
| 18:30 | this present tense rule . We can't use the infinitive | |
| 18:33 | form of the verb there . So these are examples | |
| 18:36 | of what are called embedded questions . There are questions | |
| 18:39 | that are like inside another question or their questions that | |
| 18:43 | are inside of a statement . So like tell me | |
| 18:45 | what you find , you can see that what you | |
| 18:48 | find is kind of like a question , but it | |
| 18:50 | follows a different word order . So we follow that | |
| 18:53 | subject verb object order inside embedded questions . If you | |
| 18:57 | want to know more about this grammar point , you | |
| 18:59 | can do a search for embedded questions to find some | |
| 19:01 | more information . I've talked about this here and there | |
| 19:04 | in some live streams in the past . So I | |
| 19:06 | hope that that's helpful for you . So yes , | |
| 19:08 | in some you need to use a present tense verb | |
| 19:11 | in a case like this . Keep in mind you | |
| 19:13 | can also use past tense if you want to as | |
| 19:15 | well . I hope this is helpful for you . | |
| 19:17 | Thanks for the question . Okay , let's move on | |
| 19:19 | to your next question . Next question comes from alejandra | |
| 19:24 | . Hi alejandra , alejandra says , how do I | |
| 19:26 | know when to reduce ? I have to I've and | |
| 19:30 | when not to Is there any rule ? Yes . | |
| 19:33 | When you are expressing ownership of something , you should | |
| 19:36 | not use the reduced form . I've always use I | |
| 19:40 | have like , I have a dog or I have | |
| 19:43 | a house or I have a bag you should not | |
| 19:46 | use I've in these cases you should , however , | |
| 19:50 | use I've and other reduced forms when you're using perfect | |
| 19:54 | tense sentence structures . So , for example , I've | |
| 19:57 | been to France or I've never eaten horse . So | |
| 20:01 | when you're using that I have plus past participle verb | |
| 20:05 | form , you can reduce the I have part two | |
| 20:08 | , I've if you are talking about ownership of something | |
| 20:11 | , you cannot reduce the I have to I . | |
| 20:14 | So , yes , that is the rule in this | |
| 20:16 | case for reduction . You may also hear the I | |
| 20:19 | have and I have got to reduce to , I've | |
| 20:22 | as , and I've got to do something , something | |
| 20:24 | something , but this might be a little bit more | |
| 20:26 | common in british english . Generally though you can consider | |
| 20:29 | those first two rules I mentioned , I have for | |
| 20:32 | ownership and I've for perfect tense structure , so I | |
| 20:36 | hope that this helps you . Thanks for the question | |
| 20:38 | . Okay , let's move on to your next question | |
| 20:41 | . Next question comes from Rainaldi high Rinaldi . Rinaldi | |
| 20:45 | says , hi , I'm from Indonesia . Sometimes someone | |
| 20:48 | says opportunity and I'm confused about whether I should respond | |
| 20:52 | with opportunity or chance . What's the difference between those | |
| 20:56 | words and when is the right time to say them | |
| 20:58 | ? Thanks . Okay . Um , opportunity tends to | |
| 21:02 | sound more formal than chance . We tend to use | |
| 21:06 | opportunity in cases where we have received an offer , | |
| 21:10 | some like special offer , like a job offer , | |
| 21:12 | a school offer or maybe an offer of money . | |
| 21:15 | We are presented with some kind of like professional or | |
| 21:18 | formal situation . Chance however , is used to refer | |
| 21:22 | to situations that arise because of luck . So something | |
| 21:26 | that happened because of look , we're not really offered | |
| 21:29 | anything , but it's like the timing is just right | |
| 21:32 | for a situation and we have this chance , we | |
| 21:36 | have this option to take advantage of that situation . | |
| 21:40 | So to take advantage of something means that we can | |
| 21:42 | try to do something that would be to our benefit | |
| 21:46 | in that situation . So opportunity sounds more formal . | |
| 21:49 | It's like something is presented to you like a job | |
| 21:52 | as I said , chances more like for games perhaps | |
| 21:55 | or just something that happens at random and that you | |
| 21:59 | maybe can take advantage of , you can maybe find | |
| 22:02 | some benefits in . So let's take a look at | |
| 22:04 | some example sentences I have two great job opportunities to | |
| 22:07 | consider . Thanks very much for this opportunity . My | |
| 22:11 | flight was delayed so I had a chance to check | |
| 22:13 | out the airport lounge . I haven't had a chance | |
| 22:16 | to read that book . How are your english listening | |

| 23:52 | chocolate products . We are planning a dual product launch | |
| 23:56 | . One is a sweet chocolate containing 30 Cacau . | |

| 24:33 | both ? I think that would be better for the | |

| 27:10 | coffee shop employees are talking about their sales , choose | |
| 27:15 | the graph they are looking at . We had good | |
| 27:21 | sales from december to february . Yes . The limited | |
| 27:25 | edition items worked out very well . But I'm sorry | |
| 27:28 | to see that the new product launched in March didn't | |
| 27:30 | sell well and ended up dragging down overall sales for | |
| 27:34 | that month . We had our worst sales numbers in | |
| 27:37 | october and March in general , our sales were steadily | |
| 27:41 | increasing , but october was the worst month of the | |
| 27:44 | second half . In october , a competitor opened up | |
| 27:48 | a shop nearby and at the beginning they lured in | |
| 27:51 | our customers . I'm relieved to see that our customers | |
| 27:55 | are coming back . Yes , that's good news . | |
| 27:58 | Looking at our customer data by gender and age , | |
| 28:01 | we can see that more than half of our customers | |
| 28:04 | are women in their 20s and 30s . This means | |
| 28:08 | we will have to come up with some new campaign | |
| 28:10 | ideas to keep those customers coming back . Besides our | |
| 28:15 | regular coffee products , we can try to offer more | |
| 28:17 | side dish choices . Yes , but about 20 of | |
| 28:22 | our customers are men in their 20s and 30s . | |
| 28:25 | So we need to think of services that appeal to | |
| 28:28 | them as well , offering free wifi would appeal to | |
| 28:33 | all customers in that age range . You're right . | |
| 28:37 | Let's consider implementing that idea , choose the graph . | |
| 28:43 | They are looking at . Uh huh . Coffee shop | |
| 28:50 | employees are talking about their sales , choose the graph | |
| 28:55 | they are looking at . We had good sales from | |
| 28:59 | december to february . Yes , the limited edition items | |
| 29:03 | worked out very well but I'm sorry to see that | |

| 30:20 | products he bought online . What is he going to | |
| 30:24 | exchange ? Hello , this is the customer service line | |
| 30:31 | . Hello , I just received a package from your | |
| 30:34 | company but it is not what I ordered . I'm | |
| 30:37 | sorry what exactly was wrong ? I ordered a jacket | |
| 30:41 | with three buttons but the one I got has only | |
| 30:44 | two . I see that must be a wrong model | |
| 30:47 | . We are terribly sorry about it . We will | |
| 30:49 | exchange that right away if you just use the prepaid | |
| 30:52 | return shipping label included in your package to send it | |
| 30:56 | back . Great . Also this shirt looks different from | |
| 31:00 | the one I saw on your website . It's not | |
| 31:02 | what I expected . So I want to return it | |
| 31:04 | as well . How is it different ? I thought | |
| 31:09 | it was a T shirt without a collar but it | |
| 31:11 | turned out to be a polo shirt with a collar | |
| 31:14 | . I see . Have you already cut the tag | |
| 31:16 | off ? Yes I have . But this is really | |
| 31:20 | not what is pictured on the website . Can I | |
| 31:22 | still return it sir ? We do have this shirt | |
| 31:25 | both with and without the collar . Our data shows | |
| 31:29 | that you chose the one with it . Really ? | |
| 31:32 | Then I must have clicked the wrong item . We | |
| 31:35 | can exchange a product as long as the tag is | |
| 31:37 | attached but it would be difficult to do so if | |
| 31:40 | it is already cut off . I see then can | |
| 31:44 | you just exchange the jacket please ? Of course . | |
| 31:47 | Again we're sorry for the inconvenience . What is he | |
| 31:54 | going to exchange ? A man is making a complaint | |
| 32:02 | about products he bought online . What is he going | |
| 32:07 | to exchange ? Hello this is the customer service line | |

| 33:28 | Again we are sorry for the inconvenience . Hi everybody | |
| 33:32 | . My name is Alicia in this lesson , I'm | |
| 33:35 | going to talk about how to say thank you in | |
| 33:38 | english . I'm also going to talk about some responses | |
| 33:41 | that you can use if someone says thank you to | |
| 33:44 | you . So let's get started by looking at some | |
| 33:46 | expressions to say thank you in english first let's begin | |
| 33:50 | with the most basic expression , thank you . So | |
| 33:54 | thank you is easy to remember . It's polite and | |
| 33:58 | you can use it in basically any situation you can | |
| 34:01 | use it at work with your friends , whatever slightly | |
| 34:05 | more casual is . Thanks . Thanks . So thanks | |
| 34:08 | is good to use with friends or for small favors | |
| 34:12 | . You cannot say thanks you however you can use | |
| 34:16 | . Thank you or thanks . Some other things we | |
| 34:19 | do with the expression thank you . Are we add | |
| 34:22 | these two words to the end of it . We | |
| 34:25 | use thank you very or thank you so much . | |
| 34:29 | Thank you very much . Or thank you so much | |
| 34:32 | . One thing we do when we use so is | |
| 34:35 | we often make the o sound really long . Thank | |
| 34:38 | you so much . So that can help us show | |
| 34:41 | our appreciation in a more like kind of casual and | |
| 34:45 | friendly way . The difference between so and vary here | |
| 34:48 | is that so sounds more casual I would use so | |
| 34:52 | with my friends and thank you very much in like | |
| 34:56 | a work situation or some some situation where I want | |
| 34:59 | to sound a little more polite . So thank you | |
| 35:02 | so much . Thank you very much . Those sound | |
| 35:04 | great , you can use them anytime . Let's look | |
| 35:08 | at the next three . Then the next three here | |
| 35:11 | I've marked as thank you expressions you can use when | |
| 35:15 | you want to say thank you for a specific action | |
| 35:20 | when you want to use like a verb , thank | |
| 35:22 | you for doing some verb or when you want to | |
| 35:25 | use like a specific noun . So this one this | |
| 35:28 | thank you . There's nothing specific in this expression or | |
| 35:33 | in these three expressions , we want to share something | |
| 35:36 | specific . So these patterns are thank you for something | |
| 35:40 | , something I . N . G . So thank | |
| 35:42 | you for helping me for example or thank you for | |
| 35:46 | cleaning the house . Uh Thank you for studying with | |
| 35:49 | me for example . So in this pattern I'm using | |
| 35:52 | the I . N . G . The progressive form | |
| 35:54 | of the verb . You can change this like thank | |
| 35:58 | you for the gift . Thank you for the present | |
| 36:00 | . Thank you for your time for example . So | |
| 36:03 | you can use a verb as I've done here or | |
| 36:06 | a noun phrase . This one is similar . Many | |
| 36:09 | thanks for something . So again we can use the | |
| 36:13 | same I N . G form of the verb or | |
| 36:16 | we can use a noun phrase . This sounds a | |
| 36:19 | little bit more polite than this expression . Many thanks | |
| 36:23 | for the meeting yesterday . Many thanks for helping me | |
| 36:28 | with the files I needed to put together . So | |
| 36:31 | this one sounds a little bit more formal . I | |
| 36:33 | tend to use this one at the beginning of a | |
| 36:37 | work email . Like many thanks for the information or | |
| 36:40 | many thanks for the files . I like to use | |
| 36:43 | this in work emails if you want to make it | |
| 36:46 | even more formal you can try this one . I | |
| 36:50 | greatly appreciate . I greatly appreciate your time or I | |
| 36:55 | greatly appreciate you attending our conference this year . I | |
| 37:00 | greatly appreciate all the work you did for the event | |
| 37:04 | . So I greatly appreciate sounds really formal or when | |
| 37:07 | you really really want to communicate strong thanks to someone | |
| 37:11 | I greatly appreciate it greatly appreciate . So you can | |
| 37:15 | choose a verb or pronoun to use here . Okay | |
| 37:19 | , so as I said this one is rather formal | |
| 37:23 | . Um we can use an expression like this when | |
| 37:26 | we're working in like an organization . So I mentioned | |
| 37:29 | in this case you might use it for like a | |
| 37:31 | work situation . This next one is similar . We | |
| 37:35 | express our sincere appreciation for something so we express this | |
| 37:41 | , we means like our company , our team , | |
| 37:44 | our organization , we express so expressing , share or | |
| 37:49 | say in some way communicate our sincere . So this | |
| 37:53 | is like sincerely at the end of an email . | |
| 37:56 | Like truly honestly genuinely we express our sincere appreciation are | |
| 38:02 | like gratitude for this thing you did . So here | |
| 38:06 | we see four which means we can follow the same | |
| 38:09 | pattern actually you can remove this , we express our | |
| 38:12 | sincere appreciation . That's fine . That becomes kind of | |
| 38:15 | like a general thank you . But if you want | |
| 38:18 | to make it specific you can add this for and | |
| 38:21 | follow the same pattern we talked about for these phrases | |
| 38:25 | so we express our sincere appreciation for your support . | |
| 38:29 | For example , that's kind of a very uh company | |
| 38:32 | or organization specific uh sentence or expression of gratitude . | |
| 38:38 | We express our sincere appreciation for your donation for example | |
| 38:43 | . So I feel perhaps this one might use noun | |
| 38:46 | phrases more than verbs . Not always , but perhaps | |
| 38:49 | more known phrases here . So yes , this is | |
| 38:53 | good for formal situations , especially in organizations because we | |
| 38:58 | use this , we hear of course you can change | |
| 39:02 | these so that you use we or he or she | |
| 39:05 | like , we greatly appreciate is fine to use as | |
| 39:08 | well . Just depends on your situation . Anyway , | |
| 39:12 | let's continue on to the next expression , which is | |
| 39:15 | thank you kindly for So you'll notice that this is | |
| 39:19 | very similar to the like thank you or thank you | |
| 39:22 | for . The difference here is we have this kindly | |
| 39:25 | . So we're including kindly , which shows I feel | |
| 39:30 | like kind of this gratitude and I want to express | |
| 39:34 | that I have kind feelings for you , thank you | |
| 39:38 | kindly for something . So it's a nice and also | |
| 39:41 | kind of polite expression actually . So you might think | |
| 39:44 | this sounds friendly , but this is something we use | |
| 39:47 | more in work emails . I would not use this | |
| 39:50 | with a friend actually , this would sound too polite | |
| 39:54 | to use with a friend . So this is good | |
| 39:56 | in work situations like thank you kindly for the email | |
| 40:00 | . Thank you kindly for the files . Thank you | |
| 40:02 | kindly for meeting with me this afternoon . So it | |
| 40:05 | sounds formal and it's when you want to express that | |
| 40:08 | kind of kind feeling as well . Okay let's go | |
| 40:12 | to the next one . Um This one is thank | |
| 40:15 | you for your understanding . This is a set phrase | |
| 40:19 | so we don't change this part . This thank you | |
| 40:22 | for your understanding . This always this remains the same | |
| 40:28 | always . So thank you for your understanding , this | |
| 40:31 | is a polite expression , we use it for changes | |
| 40:35 | and for inconveniences . So let's say for example you | |
| 40:39 | receive a letter in the mail and it's from like | |
| 40:42 | your mobile phone company for example and they say there's | |
| 40:46 | a change to your contract , thank you for your | |
| 40:49 | understanding . So it's kind of sharing like some kind | |
| 40:52 | of information . And this expression shows like we appreciate | |
| 40:57 | in advance that you understand the situation . So it's | |
| 41:01 | like we're gonna we're going to make this change . | |
| 41:04 | So thank you , thank you for maybe not getting | |
| 41:07 | angry or thank you for just um understanding the situation | |
| 41:12 | really . So this is a formal expression used for | |
| 41:15 | like changes to things and you'll also see it like | |
| 41:18 | I said for inconveniences , for example , at like | |
| 41:22 | a construction site , if there's lots of noise or | |
| 41:25 | if it's really dirty and dusty , there might be | |
| 41:27 | a sign that says , you know , construction in | |
| 41:29 | progress , which means we're working now we're building something | |
| 41:33 | now thank you for your understanding . So we appreciate | |
| 41:37 | your understanding of the situation . So it's kind of | |
| 41:41 | like an apology and thank you at the same time | |
| 41:45 | . So this is a set phrase . You can | |
| 41:47 | use this in your organization , in your company , | |
| 41:50 | but this is one that's too formal to use with | |
| 41:53 | friends . I would not use this with friends . | |
| 41:55 | Okay , let's move on to the next one . | |
| 41:58 | I really appreciate it . So I have eye and | |
| 42:02 | really in parentheses here because we can drop these from | |
| 42:07 | the sentence and make a very formal . I'm sorry | |
| 42:10 | , a very casual , this is a very casual | |
| 42:13 | uh way to express thanks . So by that , | |
| 42:17 | I mean among friends will often just say appreciate it | |
| 42:21 | or just appreciated as well . Uh if you want | |
| 42:25 | to make a full sentence , you can say I | |
| 42:27 | appreciate it or I really appreciate it . Those are | |
| 42:31 | great too . You will hear native speakers just drop | |
| 42:34 | it though , appreciate it . So it sounds friendly | |
| 42:37 | , it sounds like you really express your thanks and | |
| 42:40 | it's just kind of a quick expression that you can | |
| 42:43 | use . So this is good for your co workers | |
| 42:45 | and colleagues . You can use this with friends as | |
| 42:48 | well . It won't sound too polite , so this | |
| 42:50 | is great . Um Perhaps a little bit more um | |
| 42:54 | polite then just thank you so you can use it | |
| 42:58 | with friends . Like if your friend has done you | |
| 43:00 | kind of an interesting favor , for example . Okay | |
| 43:04 | , let's go on to the last one . The | |
| 43:07 | last one is actually too , but this is kind | |
| 43:10 | of um casual , friendly and perhaps unique to certain | |
| 43:18 | people . So some people might choose to use these | |
| 43:21 | , some people might not . Anyway , the expressions | |
| 43:24 | are thanks a bunch and thanks a million . Thanks | |
| 43:27 | a million . I'm a person who sometimes uses thanks | |
| 43:31 | a bunch . So a bunch means a lot of | |
| 43:34 | something . It's like saying thanks a lot but thanks | |
| 43:37 | a bunch . Which is a casual word um is | |
| 43:40 | less formal . It's very like mm it's very casual | |
| 43:45 | . Something we would use with friends . I would | |
| 43:48 | use this if my friend did something small that helped | |
| 43:52 | me . Thanks a bunch . Um You might get | |
| 43:54 | the feeling that it's used by people who have kind | |
| 43:57 | of like an upbeat personality perhaps . Um I feel | |
| 44:01 | that this tends to be used more among women actually | |
| 44:04 | to Thanks a million . On the other hand , | |
| 44:07 | is one that I don't hear as often as thanks | |
| 44:10 | a bunch . So again , a million . A | |
| 44:12 | million is a big number . We do not say | |
| 44:15 | thanks 100 or thanks 1000 or thanks a trillion . | |
| 44:18 | We only say thanks a million . So again , | |
| 44:21 | this means thank you very much , really , but | |
| 44:24 | it's a casual friendly way of saying it . Um | |
| 44:27 | So like I said , I tend to hear a | |
| 44:30 | bunch more and it tends to be used more for | |
| 44:33 | women though , it's okay for men to use as | |
| 44:35 | well . Um so thanks so much . Thanks a | |
| 44:38 | million . Those are good ones to use with your | |
| 44:40 | friends if you like . So to conclude then how | |
| 44:44 | do you respond when someone says thank you . So | |
| 44:48 | I made a big list of some very common responses | |
| 44:52 | for thank you . So most of these we use | |
| 44:57 | and they don't actually mean anything other than like agreement | |
| 45:02 | . So at the top here is maybe my favorite | |
| 45:05 | . Sure . So someone says thank you . I | |
| 45:07 | say sure or I say sure thing , sure thing | |
| 45:10 | . This is like it's a sure thing . So | |
| 45:13 | it's kind of like saying it's it's real , it's | |
| 45:16 | true . It's genuine . Sure thing . This is | |
| 45:19 | another common one . That's very casual , very friendly | |
| 45:23 | . Many people like to use one of these . | |
| 45:25 | No problem , no problem or no . Prob No | |
| 45:30 | prob so prob is just the short version . The | |
| 45:33 | limb has been cut off problem . so no problem | |
| 45:37 | . Is quite casual , more casual than no problem | |
| 45:40 | . So , these are all okay to use at | |
| 45:43 | work with your friends , with your family members . | |
| 45:45 | I would not use them in a formal situation though | |
| 45:49 | . Continuing you bet you bet . Again , another | |
| 45:53 | one , it's like saying no problem , um not | |
| 45:57 | a problem for me . Of course I will help | |
| 45:59 | you , or of course , no problem , yep | |
| 46:02 | . It's a like a casual way of saying yes | |
| 46:04 | , yep , yep . Instead of yes , so | |
| 46:07 | yes , sounds actually a little too polite . We | |
| 46:10 | don't use yes , so much , we might say | |
| 46:12 | , yep . Instead . Another one , no sweat | |
| 46:15 | , no sweat is kind of cute . Uh no | |
| 46:18 | sweat means like there's no reason for you to sweat | |
| 46:21 | , so we sweat maybe when we get , of | |
| 46:24 | course warm , but when we feel nervous or upset | |
| 46:28 | or anxious about something , so no sweat means like | |
| 46:31 | don't worry about it , it's not a problem , | |
| 46:33 | no sweat . So this one is quite friendly as | |
| 46:37 | well . Another one for sure . This is similar | |
| 46:40 | to sure . Uh so for sure is another very | |
| 46:43 | positive , upbeat quick way to say a response to | |
| 46:47 | thank you . This one is very common in work | |
| 46:51 | situations and this is important . I've made this part | |
| 46:55 | in capital letters , the you here , because the | |
| 46:59 | emphasis on your response here is important . If someone | |
| 47:02 | says thank you and you say no , thank you | |
| 47:05 | , it's like showing that both parties , both people | |
| 47:09 | did something that helps the other person . So for | |
| 47:12 | example , if someone comes to set up the camera | |
| 47:15 | for the shoot and I say thank you , they | |
| 47:18 | might say no thank you because I'm going to make | |
| 47:21 | something with what they've set up . So we're helping | |
| 47:24 | each other so we can use an expression like this | |
| 47:27 | , No , thank you . So your intonation matters | |
| 47:30 | here . Okay . Another one is of course , | |
| 47:34 | of course . So it's like it's like saying , | |
| 47:36 | of course I would help you . Of course I | |
| 47:39 | want to help you . Or like it was no | |
| 47:41 | problem for me . Uh We have a good relationship | |
| 47:44 | . That's the feeling here . I have included this | |
| 47:47 | . You're welcome on the list , but this is | |
| 47:50 | not used that often . It's correct to say if | |
| 47:52 | someone says thank you , you're welcome , you can | |
| 47:55 | use this . Um it's less friendly , I feel | |
| 47:59 | than the other ones . You're welcome , you're welcome | |
| 48:02 | . You can use this if you don't know the | |
| 48:04 | other person or if it's yeah , it's like a | |
| 48:06 | stranger . You might use this like a stranger holds | |
| 48:09 | the door open for you and you say thank you | |
| 48:12 | , that person might say you're welcome . So this | |
| 48:15 | one is less familiar so you can use this . | |
| 48:18 | Um But again perhaps something that's a little bit closer | |
| 48:22 | , like in terms of relationship would be good . | |
| 48:25 | Finally . Not at all . Not at all . | |
| 48:28 | It's like no problem , no problem . So if | |
| 48:30 | someone says thank you , you can say not at | |
| 48:33 | all , it's like it means like it was no | |
| 48:34 | trouble for me , it was no problem for me | |
| 48:38 | . So we can use all of these to respond | |
| 48:40 | to thank you . Um In most cases um you | |
| 48:45 | can apply them to any of these situations like thank | |
| 48:48 | you if someone says thank you sure sure thing , | |
| 48:51 | yep , no sweat , you can use all of | |
| 48:53 | them if you want and you can combine them but | |
| 48:56 | generally just choose one that's fine and try to use | |
| 48:59 | a mix of these two respond . Um Keep in | |
| 49:02 | mind though that if someone uses a more formal expression | |
| 49:06 | , like I greatly appreciate your help or we express | |
| 49:09 | our sincere appreciation for your response should be kind of | |
| 49:15 | matching in that formality level . So we express our | |
| 49:19 | sincere appreciation for your support . If you see that | |
| 49:22 | then you might use like um like for example we | |
| 49:27 | really appreciate the opportunity to work with you . So | |
| 49:31 | something like that where you kind of return the same | |
| 49:35 | expression might be better than just using a casual expression | |
| 49:39 | like these for conversation . So you can kind of | |
| 49:42 | feel that um as you may be level up your | |
| 49:45 | ways to say thank you . But in general these | |
| 49:48 | are some pretty good responses for you to start with | |
| 49:51 | . Okay so I'm gonna end there . I hope | |
| 49:54 | that that was helpful for you . If you have | |
| 49:56 | any questions or comments or have some different ways to | |
| 49:59 | say thank you . There are many or some different | |
| 50:01 | responses . There are many . Please let us know | |

| 50:18 | very much for watching this lesson and I will see | |
| 50:20 | you again soon . Bye bye . Hi everybody . | |
| 50:24 | My name is Alicia In this lesson , I'm going | |
| 50:26 | to talk about phrase all verbs that use go so | |
| 50:30 | remember a phrase All verb is a verb plus a | |
| 50:33 | proposition and then sometimes something extra . So today I'm | |
| 50:37 | going to introduce a few common phrase . All verbs | |
| 50:39 | with go that maybe you haven't heard of . There | |
| 50:43 | are quite a lot with this verb . So I | |
| 50:45 | want to introduce some that hopefully you can use right | |
| 50:48 | away . Let's get started . Ok . The first | |
| 50:51 | phrase , all verb I want to talk about is | |
| 50:53 | go ahead , go ahead . This means permission or | |
| 50:58 | encouragement to do something before others . So I've noticed | |
| 51:03 | on this channel for example , many viewers like to | |
| 51:06 | use go ahead , but they mean please continue , | |
| 51:10 | go ahead , does not have the meaning of please | |
| 51:13 | continue something . It means feel free to do something | |
| 51:18 | before me . So an example of using go ahead | |
| 51:23 | might be go ahead and eat . For example , | |
| 51:26 | I'm going to be home late today , go ahead | |
| 51:31 | and eat dinner . So go ahead means before me | |
| 51:35 | , so go ahead and do something . We'll follow | |
| 51:38 | . Go ahead oftentimes with and go ahead of me | |
| 51:42 | and do something . Some verb will follow this . | |
| 51:46 | So in this case go ahead and eat is a | |
| 51:48 | very common way that we use this one . Okay | |
| 51:51 | , let's move along to the next phrase . All | |
| 51:54 | verb , which is go along with to go along | |
| 51:58 | with something means to temporarily , temporarily means for a | |
| 52:03 | short time only to temporarily believe something that may be | |
| 52:09 | false . So here I put maybe false . This | |
| 52:13 | could be a story . It could be a plan | |
| 52:16 | . It could be like just the way that someone | |
| 52:18 | is behaving , but this means to temporarily believe . | |
| 52:23 | So yes , temporarily can be a very short time | |
| 52:26 | . But this could be over weeks , months or | |
| 52:29 | years . So it's something that perhaps has an end | |
| 52:33 | point at some point in time that doesn't have to | |
| 52:37 | be very soon . But you temporarily believe or you | |
| 52:40 | pretend to believe something . Here's an example . I | |
| 52:44 | don't want to go along with this plan . I | |
| 52:48 | don't want to go along with this plan . So | |
| 52:53 | here there's a noun phrase I don't want to go | |
| 52:56 | along with this plan means I don't want to pretend | |
| 52:59 | this plan is okay . So kind of , the | |
| 53:02 | feeling here of to go along with something is that | |
| 53:05 | you're believing it and you're like pretending that you're agreeing | |
| 53:10 | with that thing or you're participating in that thing . | |
| 53:13 | So to go along with something , it can have | |
| 53:16 | a negative meaning . Uh it can also have kind | |
| 53:19 | of like a positive feeling , like for example , | |
| 53:21 | a surprise birthday party , like um we need her | |
| 53:25 | to go along with the idea that she's not meeting | |
| 53:29 | her friends today . For example , like we need | |
| 53:31 | her to temporarily believe she's not meeting her friends , | |
| 53:34 | but it can have a negative feeling like here , | |
| 53:37 | I don't want to go along with this plan . | |
| 53:39 | Maybe the plan is bad or the plan is kind | |
| 53:42 | of evil somehow . So to go along with something | |
| 53:46 | is to believe something , or to continue doing something | |
| 53:50 | , to pretend to agree with something that may not | |
| 53:53 | be true . Okay , so let's continue on to | |
| 53:56 | the next phrase . All verb , The next phrase | |
| 53:58 | , all verb is to go around to go around | |
| 54:01 | . This has two meanings . Actually . The first | |
| 54:04 | is to be enough for a group to be enough | |
| 54:07 | for a group . The second one is one that | |
| 54:10 | you probably or maybe already know which is to move | |
| 54:14 | past something by moving around it so there is some | |
| 54:17 | obstacle that you face and you move around that obstacle | |
| 54:21 | , so that one is probably a little easier to | |
| 54:24 | understand moving around physically and obstacle in order to pass | |
| 54:28 | the obstacle . However , the one I want to | |
| 54:31 | focus on for this lesson is this one to be | |
| 54:34 | enough for a group to go around . So in | |
| 54:38 | an example sentence , do we have drinks to go | |
| 54:41 | around ? So here , do we have drinks to | |
| 54:44 | go around ? As a question means , do we | |
| 54:46 | have enough drinks for all the people in our group | |
| 54:50 | ? So go around is a shorter way to say | |
| 54:53 | that . So you can imagine if you have a | |
| 54:56 | group of people in a circle , you can like | |
| 54:59 | give each person one of something . So that means | |
| 55:02 | to go around , there's enough of something to go | |
| 55:05 | around . You will sometimes hear people include enough in | |
| 55:09 | a phrase like this . Do we have enough drinks | |
| 55:12 | to go around ? So this refers to having enough | |
| 55:15 | of something for everyone in a group . Okay , | |
| 55:19 | let's move along to the next expression . The next | |
| 55:22 | phrase , all verb is go away , Go away | |
| 55:24 | . This is probably one that many of you know | |
| 55:27 | to go away is often used as a command without | |
| 55:31 | the to just go away command form . So it | |
| 55:35 | means to move away from the current location , like | |
| 55:38 | to move away from the white board , for example | |
| 55:41 | , or to move away from the camera , so | |
| 55:43 | you're moving away from something , so you're not getting | |
| 55:47 | closer , it's the opposite direction , but like I | |
| 55:50 | said , we often use it as commands so to | |
| 55:53 | tell someone to go away , to tell a pet | |
| 55:55 | to go away . Another example , I wish these | |
| 55:59 | bugs would go away . I wish these bugs would | |
| 56:03 | go away . So in other words , go away | |
| 56:05 | from me , go away from me from the speaker | |
| 56:09 | . So when we say go away , it's and | |
| 56:11 | it doesn't have this kind of um like reference point | |
| 56:15 | , it tends to mean like from the speakers location | |
| 56:19 | . So I wish these bugs would go away from | |
| 56:22 | me . Okay , let's move along to the next | |
| 56:24 | phrase over the next one is go back or go | |
| 56:28 | back to . So you'll see these both used . | |
| 56:31 | So to go back to something , let's use that | |
| 56:36 | to go back to something means to return to a | |
| 56:39 | previous location . Or you can use it for a | |
| 56:42 | phase , like a step in a project . Or | |
| 56:45 | you can use it for a person to go back | |
| 56:47 | to a person uh to go back to a certain | |
| 56:51 | phase of your project to go back to a place | |
| 56:54 | . So we use this when we've made progress in | |
| 56:57 | some way , or we have changed our life in | |
| 56:59 | some way and we return to something that we did | |
| 57:02 | earlier or we return to a person that we associated | |
| 57:06 | with earlier . When we use this expression to talk | |
| 57:09 | about people , it's often because we're talking about a | |
| 57:12 | romantic relationship , like for example , he went back | |
| 57:16 | to his ex girlfriend or she went back to her | |
| 57:20 | former boss , for example . So there's something that | |
| 57:25 | like we knew in the past , we knew was | |
| 57:27 | true about the person in the past and they returned | |
| 57:30 | to that point . So we can use go back | |
| 57:32 | to to refer to that more commonly perhaps though is | |
| 57:36 | when we just want to return to something we saw | |
| 57:39 | earlier , for example , go back to slide to | |
| 57:43 | please . So if you're giving a presentation , you | |
| 57:46 | could say go back to slide to please return to | |
| 57:50 | slide too . So everyone saw slide to I the | |
| 57:53 | speaker , the presenter want to return to that slide | |
| 57:56 | for some reason . So go back to something is | |
| 57:59 | to return to something . Okay , let's move along | |
| 58:02 | to another one that's very similar . So we talked | |
| 58:05 | about go back or go back to now let's look | |
| 58:08 | at go back on . So to go back on | |
| 58:11 | something is to choose not to do something as promised | |
| 58:16 | . So we tend to use this expression with promises | |
| 58:20 | or agreements of some kind . Uh so to go | |
| 58:23 | back on a promise means you make the promise and | |
| 58:27 | then your actions do not align with the promise . | |
| 58:31 | So in an example , sentence the President went back | |
| 58:34 | on his promises . So to go back on his | |
| 58:39 | promises , this means the President made a promise and | |
| 58:44 | the president's actions did not match that promise . So | |
| 58:47 | for example , the president of the company said he | |
| 58:50 | would give all employees their birthday off and then uh | |
| 58:55 | the president decided not to do that in the end | |
| 58:58 | . So he made a choice here . She made | |
| 59:00 | a choice not to make that birthday policy happen . | |
| 59:05 | So that would be an example of the president going | |
| 59:07 | back on his promise . So choosing not to do | |
| 59:11 | a thing that you promised to do . In some | |
| 59:13 | cases , people will do the opposite of what they | |
| 59:16 | promised to do . We can use that as well | |
| 59:18 | . So to go back on and to go back | |
| 59:21 | to our quite different . Um Keep in mind to | |
| 59:24 | go back on always sounds quite negative . To go | |
| 59:27 | back to doesn't necessarily sound negative . It can depending | |
| 59:32 | on what is being returned to . Like if you're | |
| 59:35 | if a person is going back to a negative relationship | |
| 59:38 | , for example , it could feel negative . Um | |
| 59:41 | but to go back on does have that negative feeling | |
| 59:44 | of like betrayal . Okay , so let's continue on | |
| 59:47 | to the next phrase over , but which is go | |
| 59:50 | for to go for something to go for something means | |
| 59:54 | to try to obtain something , or someone to try | |
| 59:58 | to get something or to try to get someone . | |
| 60:00 | So when I say to get someone here , um | |
| 60:04 | this can mean like to get someone as like a | |
| 60:07 | boyfriend or a girlfriend or it can mean to try | |
| 60:10 | to get someone to participate in something , so you | |
| 60:15 | want someone to join like a party or a conference | |
| 60:18 | or something similar . You can use this expression in | |
| 60:21 | that case . So let's look at an example . | |
| 60:24 | Um she's going for the gold medal , so very | |
| 60:28 | common in the olympics and sporting events in general . | |
| 60:31 | She's going for here . I have the progressive tense | |
| 60:35 | , she's going for , that means she's trying to | |
| 60:37 | get the gold medal , she's going for the gold | |
| 60:41 | is also a way that we say this , so | |
| 60:43 | in this case it's an object . If you want | |
| 60:46 | to use it to talk about a person , you | |
| 60:48 | could say like , oh I tried to go for | |
| 60:50 | that girl or that guy across the room , but | |
| 60:53 | he or she wasn't interested , for example , so | |
| 60:56 | you're trying to get or you're trying to attract a | |
| 60:58 | person , okay , let's move along to the next | |
| 61:01 | one which is go in on to go in on | |
| 61:05 | something , careful . Go back on and go in | |
| 61:07 | on her quite different . Go in on something . | |
| 61:10 | To go in on something means to become one of | |
| 61:14 | a group of people investing in something . So investing | |
| 61:19 | in many cases , this means investing money in something | |
| 61:24 | . In probably most cases with this expression . So | |
| 61:27 | you and some other people have decided you all want | |
| 61:31 | the same thing and you invest your resources in that | |
| 61:35 | thing . An example . I went in on a | |
| 61:39 | shared office . So here we have past tense . | |
| 61:43 | I went in on a shared office . So shared | |
| 61:47 | office is the thing that each person wants in this | |
| 61:51 | group . We don't know how many people , but | |
| 61:53 | we used I went in on this shows us that | |
| 61:57 | there are other people who want the same thing that | |
| 62:00 | we don't have to mention . The other people . | |
| 62:02 | I went in , I went in on a shared | |
| 62:04 | office , so I invested money perhaps time effort resources | |
| 62:09 | in order to get this shared office with other people | |
| 62:12 | . So to go in on something , um it | |
| 62:15 | does have kind of a cooperative feeling about it . | |
| 62:19 | It's neither positive nor negative . Really ? Okay onto | |
| 62:23 | the next one . The next one is go off | |
| 62:26 | to go off . So to go off , when | |
| 62:29 | you're talking about people to go off , means to | |
| 62:31 | lose your temper means like to shout or to yell | |
| 62:34 | angrily to go off . Um you'll also hear um | |
| 62:39 | when something goes off , it could be like an | |
| 62:41 | alarm , like the alarm went off this morning . | |
| 62:45 | So it has kind of the same feel though , | |
| 62:47 | like when a person goes off , they lose their | |
| 62:50 | temper , they shout , they scream when an alarm | |
| 62:53 | goes off and makes a lot of noise . So | |
| 62:55 | you can imagine it's sort of like an object losing | |
| 62:59 | its temper or an object making a lot of noise | |
| 63:02 | as well . So we can use this for a | |
| 63:04 | few objects . But we , we use it a | |
| 63:06 | lot for people's tempers as well . Their emotions example | |
| 63:10 | , A guy went off at a cop . So | |
| 63:14 | here you'll see . Yes , I've used it in | |
| 63:16 | the past tense . A guy went off at a | |
| 63:18 | cop we can use at after this to show the | |
| 63:23 | recipient of the anger . So in this case a | |
| 63:25 | cop . So cop is slang for a police officer | |
| 63:29 | . So a guy went off , lost his temper | |
| 63:32 | at a police officer . I've used at here . | |
| 63:35 | You will also hear on , like my mom went | |
| 63:38 | off on me is another common one or my mom | |
| 63:41 | went off at me . You might hear both of | |
| 63:43 | those . I think I probably use on more often | |
| 63:46 | , but you may hear at as well . So | |
| 63:49 | to go off on someone means to lose your temper | |
| 63:52 | with someone , okay , on to the next one | |
| 63:56 | . The next one is to go out to go | |
| 63:58 | out . So to go out means just to leave | |
| 64:00 | your home to leave your home . So this can | |
| 64:04 | be used . I feel positively to refer to doing | |
| 64:08 | activities outside of your house . It's like you're going | |
| 64:12 | to do something fun . For example , why don't | |
| 64:15 | we go out tonight ? Why don't we go out | |
| 64:17 | tonight ? So this is one that you can use | |
| 64:19 | when you're thinking about , um like planning activities . | |
| 64:22 | So let's go out or we went out to a | |
| 64:25 | movie last night , for example . So to go | |
| 64:27 | out , sounds like you're out and about doing things | |
| 64:30 | , okay , let's move on to the next one | |
| 64:33 | , then the next one is the expression go together | |
| 64:36 | to go together . So yes , this does mean | |
| 64:39 | to physically go to another location with someone . Like | |
| 64:45 | let's go together , let's go to the movies together | |
| 64:48 | . But this also has the meaning of suiting like | |
| 64:51 | to suit or to combine well , to suit or | |
| 64:55 | to combine well . So we use this a lot | |
| 64:58 | for clothing actually . So a really common example sentence | |
| 65:03 | with clothing . Uh do these shoes and this shirt | |
| 65:06 | go together . So the speaker here is asking about | |
| 65:10 | two things . A pair of shoes . These shoes | |
| 65:13 | the plural and this shirt . So the speaker is | |
| 65:17 | asking do these two sort of parts to my look | |
| 65:21 | go together . So at one point to be careful | |
| 65:24 | about go together does not mean match . So to | |
| 65:28 | match means two things are exactly the same . 100 | |
| 65:32 | the same to go together means they combine well , | |
| 65:37 | they combine nicely . They look good together . So | |
| 65:40 | you'll often hear people actually drop this together . People | |
| 65:45 | will sometimes say like do these shoes and this shirt | |
| 65:48 | go , do they go instead of go together ? | |
| 65:51 | So when we say go in this way , it | |
| 65:53 | means do they suit each other ? Like do they | |
| 65:56 | combine nicely ? So we use this a lot for | |
| 65:59 | talking about our clothes and for our appearance . So | |
| 66:02 | keep an eye out for this one . It's quite | |
| 66:03 | common . Okay , let's move on to the next | |
| 66:07 | one to go with something or to go with someone | |
| 66:11 | to go with or to go , I'm sorry to | |
| 66:13 | go with something to go with . Someone means to | |
| 66:15 | choose to choose . We use this a lot in | |
| 66:18 | restaurants . Uh and kind of in any situation where | |
| 66:22 | we're making plans like um for example , I'm gonna | |
| 66:26 | go with the steak . I'm going to go with | |
| 66:29 | the steak . So here I have , go with | |
| 66:32 | , followed by the object . The speaker chooses . | |
| 66:34 | I'm gonna go with the steak . So I chose | |
| 66:38 | the steak . Or I choose the stake . If | |
| 66:40 | you're using this to talk about a person , you | |
| 66:42 | might be planning something like you're planning a team . | |
| 66:45 | Like I'm gonna go with person A for this role | |
| 66:49 | in my company or this role at the event , | |
| 66:52 | I'm gonna go with person B . For this role | |
| 66:54 | . So when you're choosing people or maybe you're choosing | |
| 66:57 | teams for something you could use go with . It | |
| 67:00 | sounds kind of like a casual way of choosing someone | |
| 67:04 | instead of choose . Like I choose this person . | |
| 67:07 | I choose that person using go with sounds a little | |
| 67:10 | bit lighter , a little less formal . Okay , | |
| 67:14 | so let's continue to the last one in this list | |
| 67:17 | , which is go without , to go without . | |
| 67:20 | So to go without something means to do something without | |
| 67:25 | typical items or typical people . So there's some common | |
| 67:30 | tasks , some kind of well known task or well | |
| 67:33 | known activity , but you have to do that thing | |
| 67:37 | without something that you usually use . So an example | |
| 67:42 | , I had to go without rain gear for my | |
| 67:45 | hike . So imagine it's a rainy day and the | |
| 67:48 | speaker had to go on this hike , but without | |
| 67:52 | his or her reindeer with no rain gear without using | |
| 67:56 | this thing that he or she usually uses . So | |
| 67:59 | to go without something . This does have a negative | |
| 68:03 | nuance that this thing that I need or this thing | |
| 68:06 | that I prefer to have , that it's common to | |
| 68:08 | have . I did not have that for a task | |
| 68:11 | or an activity that I was doing so to go | |
| 68:13 | without something . In another example like maybe I could | |
| 68:17 | say I had to go without a microphone for this | |
| 68:20 | lesson . Like it would maybe make it less of | |
| 68:22 | a good experience . The experience would not be as | |
| 68:25 | good or it would be difficult to do things so | |
| 68:28 | to go without something does tend to sound a little | |
| 68:32 | bit more negative . Okay so this is a lot | |
| 68:35 | of information I know um but this is just a | |
| 68:37 | quick introduction to some phrase . All verbs that use | |
| 68:41 | the word go . Um if you have any other | |
| 68:44 | questions or if you want to know some more about | |
| 68:46 | other phrase all verbs that use go , I would | |
| 68:48 | highly recommend checking a dictionary . There are a lot | |
| 68:51 | of words , a lot of expressions that use go | |
| 68:54 | so please take a look at a dictionary for some | |
| 68:57 | more information . Uh and some more example sentences as | |
| 69:01 | well . Of course if you have questions or comments | |
| 69:03 | or if you want to practise making an example sentence | |
| 69:06 | , please feel free to do so in the comment | |

| 69:22 | lesson and I will see you again soon . Bye | |
| 69:24 | bye . Hi everybody . My name is Alicia in | |
| 69:28 | this lesson , I'm going to talk about all every | |
| 69:31 | and each . I'm going to share some differences in | |
| 69:35 | how we use these words and a lot of example | |
| 69:38 | sentences . So let's get started . OK . I | |
| 69:40 | want to begin this lesson by talking about all all | |
| 69:45 | is a word we use to mean 100 of something | |
| 69:50 | we can use all with the plural form of a | |
| 69:53 | Now . So let's look at some example sentences with | |
| 69:57 | all the first one . All students must purchase the | |
| 70:02 | textbook . All students . So here I've used students | |
| 70:07 | the plural form of students . All students Must purchase | |
| 70:11 | the textbook . This might be on like the class | |
| 70:15 | outline for like a course of some kind at a | |
| 70:18 | school . All students must purchase the textbook . In | |
| 70:21 | other words , 100 of students must purchase the textbook | |
| 70:26 | . In this case , students means students in this | |
| 70:29 | course . For students taking this course , all students | |
| 70:33 | in the course must purchase the textbook . Let's look | |
| 70:36 | at the next example , all the gorillas escaped the | |
| 70:40 | zoo . So this is a strange example sentence . | |
| 70:43 | But here you might notice . Yes , I've used | |
| 70:46 | the plural form all the gorillas . Yes , again | |
| 70:49 | , S form or rather plural form . Here all | |
| 70:54 | the gorillas escaped the zoo . So lots of students | |
| 70:58 | ask why the here know the here we use the | |
| 71:02 | as you'll see in these other example sentences when we | |
| 71:05 | want to refer to something specific to the situation that | |
| 71:10 | we know about from like prior to this sentence . | |
| 71:13 | So before this sentence , we had some information . | |
| 71:16 | So here of course it's an example sentence so we | |
| 71:19 | don't have information , but this is something you might | |
| 71:23 | see in the news . So as a reporter or | |
| 71:27 | someone is sharing information about a story , they give | |
| 71:31 | a small detail like gorillas in this case . And | |
| 71:34 | then when we want to talk about those same guerrillas | |
| 71:37 | later in the conversation , we would use the all | |
| 71:41 | the gorillas . So those gorillas we talked about earlier | |
| 71:44 | in the conversation , so that's why you'll see the | |
| 71:48 | use sometimes and not used in other times . Like | |
| 71:51 | here . Like I could say all the students in | |
| 71:54 | the class must purchase the textbook . That's okay . | |
| 71:57 | We just need to make sure we use the when | |
| 72:00 | the person reading or listening understands like which now you're | |
| 72:05 | talking about . So this is an example of how | |
| 72:07 | it might be used . So All meaning 100 100 | |
| 72:13 | of the gorillas in this situation escaped the zoo . | |
| 72:17 | Let's move on to the next sentence which also uses | |
| 72:20 | the we weren't able to recover all of the files | |
| 72:25 | . We weren't able to recover all of the files | |
| 72:29 | . So here all connects with files . Again , | |
| 72:32 | the plural form files . So again all of the | |
| 72:36 | files or we weren't able to recover all the files | |
| 72:40 | is also okay . You can drop this of if | |
| 72:42 | you like but you may hear it . So again | |
| 72:45 | , we're using the files . So in this situation | |
| 72:49 | we hear they're trying to recover like regain or find | |
| 72:54 | something that's lost or damaged . So what are they | |
| 72:58 | looking for these files in particular ? So there's some | |
| 73:02 | understanding between the speaker and listener here and the speaker | |
| 73:06 | . In this case we , they want to indicate | |
| 73:10 | these files specifically . We weren't able to recover all | |
| 73:14 | of the files . So the files we were talking | |
| 73:17 | about in a previous conversation , for example , Okay | |
| 73:21 | . Finally , All 15 of the students graduated , | |
| 73:26 | all 15 of the students graduated . So again , | |
| 73:29 | I'm using students here . In this case , I | |
| 73:32 | have the , so all 15 students graduated is also | |
| 73:36 | okay . Um , it's just a small nuance in | |
| 73:40 | conversation . If you're talking maybe in a news story | |
| 73:43 | about 15 students who made a special project together or | |
| 73:47 | something maybe , uh , interesting happened to these students | |
| 73:50 | or maybe they had a terrible experience . But you | |
| 73:53 | want to report those same 15 students graduated ? All | |
| 73:58 | 15 of the students graduated , you would use the | |
| 74:01 | to talk about those same students you introduced earlier in | |
| 74:05 | your conversation . So saying something like all 15 students | |
| 74:10 | graduated is also okay , but we use the to | |
| 74:14 | really emphasize those students we referred to earlier . So | |
| 74:18 | we use all to refer to 100 of something and | |
| 74:23 | we use it with the plural form of a now | |
| 74:26 | as we've shown here . Okay , so with this | |
| 74:29 | in mind , let's continue to every everything Every is | |
| 74:34 | used to talk about all parts in a group . | |
| 74:37 | So yes , it means all of something , but | |
| 74:40 | we want to talk about all in terms of the | |
| 74:44 | parts of that thing . So I'll show some examples | |
| 74:48 | of this in just a moment . We use every | |
| 74:51 | with the singular form of the noun . We used | |
| 74:54 | all with the plural form . We're going to use | |
| 74:56 | every with the singular form of the noun . Every | |
| 75:00 | also has uh this use we can use it before | |
| 75:04 | a time period to express frequency . So for example | |
| 75:08 | , every day , every month , every year , | |
| 75:11 | every summer that expresses frequency . So 100 of days | |
| 75:15 | , 100 of summer . You can imagine it and | |
| 75:18 | has that meaning we cannot use all in this way | |
| 75:22 | . Finally , we can use every with single for | |
| 75:26 | emphasis , every single something like every single and mostly | |
| 75:30 | some examples of this . A couple of points I | |
| 75:33 | want to mention here . Uh First let's look at | |
| 75:37 | this one regarding this time period point . Make sure | |
| 75:41 | when you're writing that you use a space after every | |
| 75:45 | so when you write every day , for example , | |
| 75:47 | I've noticed this is a point for many learners . | |
| 75:50 | When you write every day , make sure to write | |
| 75:53 | every space day . Why ? Because every day is | |
| 75:58 | an adjective . So without without a space here , | |
| 76:01 | every day , every day is an adjective . So | |
| 76:04 | that means regular or common or something that's typical . | |
| 76:07 | So for example , what are your everyday activities or | |
| 76:10 | this is an everyday task meaning a regular or common | |
| 76:14 | task . So please be careful every day and every | |
| 76:18 | day have different functions . So please keep this in | |
| 76:21 | mind . Okay with that said , Let's take a | |
| 76:25 | look at some examples . 1st 1 , every single | |
| 76:29 | person in our class failed the test . Every single | |
| 76:33 | person in our class failed the test here . I | |
| 76:36 | have single in parentheses . So this is just sort | |
| 76:39 | of like an optional emphasis expression . Every single person | |
| 76:43 | here , I have the singular . I talked about | |
| 76:46 | how we have to use the singular person here . | |
| 76:49 | Every single person in our class failed the test . | |
| 76:52 | That means we want to emphasize the individual people in | |
| 76:57 | the class . So yes , this means 100 of | |
| 77:00 | people . But when I really want to emphasize the | |
| 77:04 | individuals there as parts of this whole , I use | |
| 77:07 | every and this adds to that emphasis . Every single | |
| 77:12 | okay , let's move on to the next one here | |
| 77:15 | . Every team member has his or her own specialty | |
| 77:20 | . So again , I'm using the singular form . | |
| 77:22 | Every team member , every team member . So here | |
| 77:26 | we have a team . So we know that it's | |
| 77:29 | a group of people and we want to talk about | |
| 77:32 | the individuals in that group as parts of the whole | |
| 77:36 | . So every team member has his or her own | |
| 77:39 | specialty . I use every to talk about that . | |
| 77:42 | I could use single here if I want to do | |
| 77:44 | every single team member and that would make it sound | |
| 77:47 | even stronger . Um , but we use this to | |
| 77:51 | emphasize again , parts in a hole . Okay , | |
| 77:54 | the next example sentence is we go jogging together every | |
| 78:00 | weekend . We go jogging together every weekend . So | |
| 78:04 | this every is this time period one , this frequency | |
| 78:08 | one that I talked about , we go jogging together | |
| 78:11 | every weekend . So every comes before my time period | |
| 78:16 | . This means 100 of weekends , we go jogging | |
| 78:20 | together , we go jogging together every weekend could change | |
| 78:23 | this to every summer or every Tuesday or every day | |
| 78:28 | for example , but again make sure to keep a | |
| 78:30 | space between every and the following words , especially when | |
| 78:35 | you're using day . Okay , finally I listen to | |
| 78:38 | music every single day . So again I'm using this | |
| 78:43 | as a frequency expression . I listen to music every | |
| 78:47 | day . I can use single here as well . | |
| 78:51 | So I'm emphasizing every day in this case I really | |
| 78:54 | want to make it clear like I love music so | |
| 78:57 | I listened to it every single day like without fail | |
| 79:01 | so we can combine this frequency expression every something with | |
| 79:06 | a single to emphasize . Okay great . So this | |
| 79:10 | is an introduction to every , let's move on now | |
| 79:13 | to each . So each is used again similar to | |
| 79:18 | every when we want to talk about the individual units | |
| 79:22 | in something . So the slight difference in feeling here | |
| 79:27 | is that when we're using every we're talking about parts | |
| 79:30 | in a hole . So like every team member for | |
| 79:33 | example or every student in the class there's some whole | |
| 79:37 | like some larger group . We can imagine with each | |
| 79:42 | . Yes , there maybe is like a larger group | |
| 79:45 | but we really want to focus on individuals . We | |
| 79:49 | really want the emphasis to be on the individual unit | |
| 79:53 | of something . Second point . We use each when | |
| 79:57 | there are only two of something . So I'll show | |
| 80:01 | you some examples of when this can be important . | |
| 80:04 | But if there are only two of the thing you're | |
| 80:06 | talking about use each to describe that not every . | |
| 80:11 | Okay . Finally we can use this with the plural | |
| 80:14 | and the singular forms of now and so both are | |
| 80:17 | okay and there are a few different patterns that we | |
| 80:19 | can take . Finally , you might see this expression | |
| 80:24 | , each and every . Each and every is a | |
| 80:26 | set phrase . We cannot use every end each . | |
| 80:29 | We don't use that . Please use each and every | |
| 80:32 | . We use this before a noun or again , | |
| 80:35 | we could use this before like a day or weekend | |
| 80:38 | to emphasize . So this is another emphasizing phrase each | |
| 80:43 | and every Okay , let's look at some examples of | |
| 80:46 | using each first . Each of the computers crashed . | |
| 80:52 | Each of the computers crashed . So this could mean | |
| 80:55 | to computers and both of them crash . That could | |
| 80:58 | mean it . Or it could mean like each computer | |
| 81:00 | in like a computer lab crashed . We could use | |
| 81:04 | it in that way . So sentences like these maybe | |
| 81:07 | don't always give all the information . We need to | |
| 81:11 | know a little bit about this situation , but this | |
| 81:14 | is an example of how we could use each with | |
| 81:17 | a plural noun . Each of the computers crashed . | |
| 81:21 | We cannot say each computer's crashed , we could say | |
| 81:25 | each computer crashed , but we cannot say each computer's | |
| 81:28 | crashed . Each of the computers is okay , okay | |
| 81:33 | , next one , each one of the companies donated | |
| 81:37 | to charity . Each one of the companies donated to | |
| 81:40 | charity . That means in some situation like an event | |
| 81:44 | , for example , and all of the companies that | |
| 81:47 | attended the event . Uh , so each one of | |
| 81:50 | those companies , we want to emphasize the individual companies | |
| 81:54 | , they're so each one of the companies donated to | |
| 81:56 | charity . So again , I'm using the plural form | |
| 82:00 | . So I could say each company donated to charity | |
| 82:04 | as well . That's okay . All right . Let's | |
| 82:06 | move on to some more examples with the singular form | |
| 82:10 | . So each person helped clean the parch . Each | |
| 82:14 | person helped clean the park . So maybe it's a | |
| 82:16 | volunteer organization and many people come and you can say | |
| 82:21 | each person helped clean the park . So again , | |
| 82:24 | emphasizing the individuals there . Finally , marathon participants will | |
| 82:30 | each receive a t shirt . Marathon participants will each | |
| 82:36 | receive a t shirt . So that means if you | |
| 82:39 | participate in the marathon , you will receive a t | |
| 82:42 | shirt . And that's true for 100% of marathon participants | |
| 82:47 | . So we could use maybe all to talk about | |
| 82:51 | this or maybe even every to talk about these situations | |
| 82:54 | . We would just need to make some changes . | |
| 82:56 | Like for example , all marathon participants will receive a | |
| 83:00 | t shirt is okay as well . Um or what's | |
| 83:04 | another good example , like all of the companies donated | |
| 83:07 | to charity . That's okay too . So the difference | |
| 83:10 | in those cases is just that each gives more emphasis | |
| 83:15 | to an individual . All is more about like a | |
| 83:19 | large number of something . So to finish this lesson | |
| 83:22 | , I want to look at a few example sentences | |
| 83:25 | and point out why their natural or unnatural . So | |
| 83:28 | I hope that this helps you first . Actually , | |
| 83:31 | you'll notice these are very similar . First one , | |
| 83:34 | the sentences , okay , she wears earrings on each | |
| 83:38 | ear , she wears earrings on each year . So | |
| 83:41 | I've used each in this sentence and it sounds natural | |
| 83:45 | because there are only two in most situations , I | |
| 83:48 | think people probably have just two years , so each | |
| 83:53 | means one to both of them . She wears earrings | |
| 83:57 | on each ear sounds very natural . The next example | |
| 84:01 | sentence is not natural though . She wears earrings on | |
| 84:04 | every year . This sounds strange because every is used | |
| 84:08 | to refer to part of a group . So we | |
| 84:12 | used to for each and we only have two years | |
| 84:16 | for most of us . So every refers to something | |
| 84:19 | with more than two . In this case it sounds | |
| 84:22 | really strange because we don't expect someone to have more | |
| 84:26 | than two years . So every sounds bizarre . I | |
| 84:30 | don't recommend it . Same thing with the next one | |
| 84:33 | . She wears earrings on all ears . So again | |
| 84:37 | all refers to a large number of something , so | |
| 84:41 | all years does not sound natural because we have just | |
| 84:44 | two years . So in cases like these , like | |
| 84:48 | maybe you're talking about body parts for example , it's | |
| 84:51 | gonna sound much more natural to use each when you're | |
| 84:54 | talking about something . Uh you have only two of | |
| 84:57 | however , let's go on to these next three sentences | |
| 85:01 | , which all sound natural . She wears a ring | |
| 85:05 | on every finger . She wears a ring on every | |
| 85:08 | finger . This sentence sounds fine because for most people | |
| 85:12 | , um we have 10 fingers , it's a large | |
| 85:14 | number . And so we want to say in this | |
| 85:17 | case she wears a ring , the one ring on | |
| 85:20 | every finger . So we're emphasizing these individual parts of | |
| 85:24 | the whole of all of our fingers , This group | |
| 85:27 | , that is our fingers . The next one is | |
| 85:29 | also natural . She wears rings on all her fingers | |
| 85:34 | , You might hear some people drop her . She | |
| 85:36 | wears rings on all fingers . So that means we're | |
| 85:39 | emphasizing like the total here . So we're not talking | |
| 85:42 | so much about the individual fingers , but just all | |
| 85:46 | she wears rings on all her fingers . Finally , | |
| 85:49 | she wears a ring on each finger is also okay | |
| 85:53 | to use . So she wears a ring on each | |
| 85:54 | finger if you really want to emphasize one by one | |
| 85:59 | , these individual fingers . So this one has the | |
| 86:02 | strongest feeling of like individuality . One by one , | |
| 86:07 | every would be next . She wears a ring on | |
| 86:09 | every finger and then when you want to emphasize like | |
| 86:12 | a group feeling , she wears rings on all her | |
| 86:15 | fingers . So just keep in mind sentences like these | |
| 86:18 | are definitely not natural and I don't recommend you use | |
| 86:23 | them because it's going to sound really strange . So | |
| 86:26 | try to focus on uh sentences like these . I | |
| 86:30 | hope that this helps you okay , but if you | |
| 86:32 | have any questions or comments , please feel free to | |

| 86:50 | . And I will see you again soon . Bye | |
| 86:52 | bye . Hi everybody . Welcome back to know your | |
| 86:56 | verbs . My name is Alicia . And in this | |
| 86:58 | lesson we're going to talk about the verb lie . | |
| 87:01 | Let's get started . Yeah , the basic definition of | |
| 87:06 | the verb lie is to be in or to move | |
| 87:10 | to a horizontal position . Examples . I'm gonna lie | |
| 87:14 | on the sofa and read a book . We lay | |
| 87:16 | in the grass enjoying the sun . Yeah . Now | |
| 87:20 | let's look at the congregations of this verb present lie | |
| 87:24 | lies past , lay past participle lane , progressive lying | |
| 87:35 | . Now let's talk about some additional meetings for this | |
| 87:37 | bird . The first additional meaning is to have a | |
| 87:40 | certain place or position . Examples . The town lies | |
| 87:45 | at the base of the mountains . Here lies the | |
| 87:48 | famous poet . So in these example sentences lie refers | |
| 87:52 | to the position of something . In the first example | |
| 87:56 | sentence . The town lies at the base of the | |
| 87:58 | mountains . It means the town is located at the | |
| 88:02 | base of the mountains . The town's position is at | |
| 88:04 | the base of the mountains . In the second example | |
| 88:07 | , sentence here lies the famous poet . It means | |
| 88:10 | here is the famous poet . This is the location | |
| 88:13 | of the famous poet . However , this is sort | |
| 88:16 | of a special expression . Here lies . Person is | |
| 88:19 | used for the body of a person , a person | |
| 88:22 | who has died , a person who has passed away | |
| 88:25 | when we want to describe the location where their body | |
| 88:28 | is . We say here lies so and so here | |
| 88:32 | lies the famous poet . Here lies my former pet | |
| 88:36 | , for example , so you can use it for | |
| 88:38 | pets I supposed to . But here lies before the | |
| 88:41 | person . Let's go to the second additional meaning for | |
| 88:43 | this verb . The second additional meaning is to purposefully | |
| 88:46 | give false information . Examples don't lie to me , | |
| 88:52 | the company found out she lied on her resume . | |
| 88:55 | So this use of lie refers to someone purposefully meaning | |
| 89:00 | they plan to share information that is not true , | |
| 89:05 | it's false or there's something that's not correct about it | |
| 89:08 | . So they're doing it on purpose . It's not | |
| 89:11 | just a simple mistake , it's a plan . So | |
| 89:15 | a lie is typically regarded as a bad thing . | |
| 89:18 | Though there are some situations where we might lie to | |
| 89:22 | don't help a situation that's beside the point . But | |
| 89:25 | in the first example sentence don't lie to me , | |
| 89:28 | it means don't tell me false information , Don't say | |
| 89:31 | things to me that are not true . In the | |
| 89:34 | second example sentence lie is used to refer to lying | |
| 89:38 | on a resume . A resume is a document you | |
| 89:41 | give to a potential employer . It lists your work | |
| 89:45 | experience and your education history , whatever is relevant related | |
| 89:51 | to that job . To lie on your resume means | |
| 89:54 | to submit false information on your resume information that is | |
| 89:58 | not true . So this is a big problem , | |
| 90:00 | This is not a good thing to do . So | |
| 90:03 | lying is considered bad . So we use the verb | |
| 90:05 | lie to refer to that action to give false information | |
| 90:10 | . The third additional meaning is to belong to to | |
| 90:13 | belong to . Let's look at some examples responsibility for | |
| 90:16 | the success of this project , lies with you . | |
| 90:20 | The secret to this dish lies in the sauce . | |
| 90:23 | So this might be a little bit tough to understand | |
| 90:26 | . But let's look at the examples carefully . So | |
| 90:29 | this meaning of lie to belong to can be attached | |
| 90:34 | to like two people to talk about their responsibilities or | |
| 90:38 | their obligations . It can also be attached to objects | |
| 90:41 | as we see in the second example , sentence to | |
| 90:44 | talk about some kind of characteristic or feature of those | |
| 90:48 | things . In the first example , sentence , we | |
| 90:50 | see the responsibility for the success of the project lies | |
| 90:54 | with you . In other words , the responsibility belongs | |
| 90:57 | to you , you have the responsibility of making this | |
| 91:02 | project successful . In the second example , sentence , | |
| 91:05 | we see some special characteristic described . So it's about | |
| 91:10 | the sauce there . So like the secret to the | |
| 91:12 | dishes deliciousness perhaps is uh in the sauce . So | |
| 91:16 | it belongs to the sauce . So there's something special | |
| 91:19 | about the sauce that makes the dish delicious . In | |
| 91:22 | other words , the secret to the dish lies in | |
| 91:25 | the sauce belongs to the sauce . There's something in | |
| 91:28 | the sauce that makes it special . So you can | |
| 91:30 | think of this use of lie as meaning belong to | |
| 91:35 | to describe responsibility or a special feature . Something like | |
| 91:38 | that . There's a special something that uh consists within | |
| 91:42 | that thing . Yeah . Let's go to some variations | |
| 91:48 | Now , some variations with the verb lie . The | |
| 91:50 | first one is to lie low . To lie low | |
| 91:53 | . This means to be quiet or to refrain from | |
| 91:57 | activities usually because you want to hide for some reason | |
| 92:00 | some examples I'm gonna lie low until all this drama | |
| 92:04 | is over . Let's lie low and see what our | |
| 92:06 | competitors do . So the image here of lie low | |
| 92:10 | . Like if you can remember back to the basic | |
| 92:13 | definition of the verb to lie which means to be | |
| 92:16 | in or to move to a horizontal position . Like | |
| 92:19 | you lie in bed . If you lie low it | |
| 92:22 | sounds like you're maybe at that horizontal position but at | |
| 92:25 | a low level , like you're hiding kind of . | |
| 92:28 | So we use this as an expression to mean like | |
| 92:31 | we want to be out of sight , like we | |
| 92:33 | don't want to be seen . So maybe we did | |
| 92:35 | something embarrassing or disgraceful , or maybe there's trouble out | |
| 92:39 | there like at work or in society or something that | |
| 92:43 | we don't want to be involved in , something , | |
| 92:46 | we don't want to be connected in for a while | |
| 92:49 | . So we can say I'm going to lie low | |
| 92:52 | . The idea with this is that it's temporary . | |
| 92:54 | We're not going to lie low forever . Usually we | |
| 92:57 | lie low for a short period of time and then | |
| 93:00 | we come back to our regular way of living life | |
| 93:03 | and doing things . The second variation is to lie | |
| 93:07 | around . To lie around This can refer to two | |
| 93:10 | things . One that an object is in a place | |
| 93:13 | , it's not usually in or to to refer to | |
| 93:17 | a person doing nothing , absolutely nothing . They lie | |
| 93:20 | on the bed or they lie on the sofa and | |
| 93:22 | do nothing . Examples , my phone is lying around | |
| 93:26 | here somewhere . I just want to lie around all | |
| 93:29 | weekend . So in the first example sentence we see | |
| 93:32 | it refers to a phone in a place where it's | |
| 93:34 | not supposed to be , so maybe my phone has | |
| 93:37 | a specific spot in my house . I always put | |
| 93:40 | my phone here , but now it's not there , | |
| 93:42 | I'm looking for it . So I can say my | |
| 93:44 | phone is lying around here somewhere . I don't know | |
| 93:47 | where in the second example sentence , it's about a | |
| 93:50 | person doing nothing . Like I just want to lie | |
| 93:52 | around all weekend . That means I want to do | |
| 93:55 | nothing . I want to relax all weekend , maybe | |
| 93:58 | lying in bed or lying on my sofa lying on | |
| 94:00 | the beach . Perhaps . So this means doing nothing | |
| 94:03 | relaxing . Okay , so those are a few new | |
| 94:06 | ways . I hope to use the verb lie . | |
| 94:08 | There are lots of different ways to use this verb | |
| 94:11 | . So if you have any questions or comments or | |
| 94:13 | if you want to try to make some example sentences | |
| 94:16 | , please feel free to do . So in the | |
| 94:17 | comment section of this video of course , don't forget | |

| 94:28 | much for watching this episode of know your verbs and | |
| 94:30 | we'll see you again soon . Bye bye . No | |
| 94:34 | lies were told in the making of this episode . | |
| 94:37 | To my knowledge . Hi everybody , Welcome back to | |
| 94:40 | know your verbs . My name is Alicia . And | |
| 94:42 | in this lesson , we're going to talk about the | |
| 94:44 | verb match . Let's get started . Yeah . The | |
| 94:49 | basic definition of the verb match is to combine well | |
| 94:53 | with something else examples . The new product lineup matches | |
| 94:58 | our customers needs his shirt , matched his pants nicely | |
| 95:03 | . Yeah . Now let's look at the congregations for | |
| 95:06 | this verb present match matches past matched past participle matched | |
| 95:15 | progressive matching . Now , let's talk about some additional | |
| 95:21 | meanings for this verb , first one to be equal | |
| 95:24 | to another thing or person . Some examples our products | |
| 95:29 | match our competitors quality at a lower price . She | |
| 95:33 | matched her boss drink for drink . So in the | |
| 95:36 | first example sentence the speakers product and the competitors products | |
| 95:39 | have the same level of quality they match in terms | |
| 95:42 | of quality . However , the price of the speakers | |
| 95:45 | product is cheaper . It's at a lower price . | |
| 95:48 | So that's the point of the speaker's statement , same | |
| 95:50 | quality , but our product is cheaper . Maybe a | |
| 95:53 | common sales tactic in the second example , sentence we | |
| 95:56 | see she matched her boss drink for drink . It | |
| 95:59 | means for each drink her boss took , she also | |
| 96:03 | had a drink . So matching drinks is like doing | |
| 96:07 | the same thing as someone else , drinking the same | |
| 96:10 | amount to someone else . So she matched her boss | |
| 96:12 | , she matched her boss so she was equal , | |
| 96:16 | she was at an equal level to her boss in | |
| 96:19 | this respect . Okay , let's go on to the | |
| 96:21 | second additional meaning the second additional meaning is to give | |
| 96:25 | the same amount of money that has been collected or | |
| 96:29 | offered . Examples Will match donations , $1 for $1 | |
| 96:35 | . The store offered to match competitor prices . So | |
| 96:38 | this is a specific use of the word match that's | |
| 96:41 | related to money . Um , so if like a | |
| 96:44 | charity organization is trying to raise money for something . | |
| 96:48 | Oftentimes other organizations or individuals will agree to match a | |
| 96:54 | certain amounts or match the amount of money raised . | |
| 96:57 | We see that in the first example sentence , so | |
| 97:00 | we'll match $1 for $1 means for each dollar that | |
| 97:05 | is donated . This , whoever speaking this organization or | |
| 97:09 | this person will donate $1 also . So if $100 | |
| 97:14 | is like the total amount that's raised , then the | |
| 97:17 | speakers organization of the speaker themselves will also give $100 | |
| 97:22 | . So this amount and this amount will be the | |
| 97:25 | same . That's called matching donations in the second example | |
| 97:28 | sentence then about matching competitor prices . This means that | |
| 97:33 | if a competitor has a lower price for a product | |
| 97:37 | , this shop will offer the same price . So | |
| 97:41 | that means that the shop is changing its price to | |
| 97:43 | match the competitors price . So they're trying to match | |
| 97:46 | the amount offered by the competitor there . So matching | |
| 97:51 | prices in this way , it means that they will | |
| 97:53 | change prices um to offer the best price possible for | |
| 97:56 | the customer . So the next additional meaning is to | |
| 98:00 | be the same as something else . To be the | |
| 98:02 | same as something else . Examples . Her outfit matched | |
| 98:07 | one worn by a model in a magazine . Your | |
| 98:10 | hairstyle matches my dogs . So this means not to | |
| 98:14 | be similar or not to combine well , but to | |
| 98:16 | be the same as something else , exactly the same | |
| 98:20 | as something else . So in the first example sentence | |
| 98:23 | , her outfit matched one worn by a model in | |
| 98:26 | the magazine . It means her outfit is the same | |
| 98:29 | as the one that's in this magazine . So maybe | |
| 98:32 | she was inspired by this outfit in the magazine . | |
| 98:35 | So she matches they are wearing the same thing . | |
| 98:38 | The second one is kind of a joke sentence . | |
| 98:40 | Your hairstyle matches my dogs hairstyle . So I've dropped | |
| 98:44 | hairstyle from that sentence . Your hairstyle matches my dogs | |
| 98:48 | . It means your hairstyle and my dogs hairstyle are | |
| 98:51 | the same . So it's probably a joke . I | |
| 98:53 | can't think of many situations where this would be a | |
| 98:56 | compliment , but just an example sentence . So this | |
| 99:00 | means that these two things are the same . They | |
| 99:03 | are the same . You match you match . So | |
| 99:05 | this is common if you happen to wear like the | |
| 99:08 | same clothes as someone else , if just accidentally though | |
| 99:12 | , like you didn't plan it , you arrived to | |
| 99:14 | something and you're wearing the same thing as someone else | |
| 99:16 | . We can say , oh my gosh , you | |
| 99:18 | match you guys match , you're wearing the same thing | |
| 99:21 | . Yeah , okay , let's move on to some | |
| 99:25 | variations for this verb , the first variation I have | |
| 99:28 | two included for this is to match up or to | |
| 99:31 | match somebody up . This means to introduce somebody for | |
| 99:35 | dating , to introduce two people for dating examples , | |
| 99:39 | my friend tried to match me up with someone , | |
| 99:42 | A coworker matched up to acquaintances quite successfully . So | |
| 99:46 | this match up refers to combining two people . So | |
| 99:50 | we talked about the basic definition of this verb , | |
| 99:53 | like two things that combine together well , in this | |
| 99:56 | case , when we say to match up or to | |
| 99:58 | match somebody up , it refers to finding two people | |
| 100:02 | who are a nice fit , they combine together well | |
| 100:05 | . So you might hear this like to match you | |
| 100:07 | up with somebody , I want to match you up | |
| 100:09 | with somebody . So this means dating , trying to | |
| 100:12 | set up a date . The next variation is to | |
| 100:15 | match somebody against somebody else . This means to put | |
| 100:19 | two people of equal ability levels in competition against one | |
| 100:25 | another . So that means these two people have about | |
| 100:27 | the same level of ability . It shouldn't be out | |
| 100:30 | of balance , ideally it should be about the same | |
| 100:33 | level . Examples , Serena Williams was matched against anna | |
| 100:38 | kournikova . Let's match the top japanese chef against the | |
| 100:41 | top friendship for the competition . So these example sentences | |
| 100:45 | are intended to show situations where there's a pair of | |
| 100:48 | people that are evenly matched , but maybe they have | |
| 100:52 | different abilities , like different specialties , so their abilities | |
| 100:56 | themselves are maybe at the same level , but maybe | |
| 100:59 | they have some kind of different details in there somewhere | |
| 101:02 | . So to match in this way to match one | |
| 101:05 | person against another person is for competitive reasons , for | |
| 101:09 | some contest or sport of something like that . Okay | |
| 101:12 | , so those are a few new ways . I | |
| 101:14 | hope that you can use the word match . If | |
| 101:16 | you have questions , comments or want to leave an | |
| 101:18 | example sentence . Please feel free to do so in | |

| 103:37 | . Okay , let's jump into today's topic . How | |
| 103:44 | to adjust your routine and learn language from home . | |
| 103:47 | Recently . Many people have started to work and take | |
| 103:50 | classes from home with language learning since it's something people | |
| 103:54 | do in their own time . A lot of it | |
| 103:56 | is done at home anyway , but that doesn't mean | |
| 103:58 | that all of this hasn't affected how people learn if | |
| 104:01 | you use the language learning app or listen to lessons | |
| 104:04 | during your commute but you don't commute anymore . The | |
| 104:07 | pandemic has probably ruined your flow . With many of | |
| 104:11 | us spending more time at home . Being able to | |
| 104:14 | learn from home efficiently is a good skill to have | |
| 104:17 | because while learning or working from home sounds good . | |
| 104:20 | It's not exactly easy to do Part one . The | |
| 104:24 | pros and cons of learning at home first the pros | |
| 104:27 | there's convenience . You can learn whatever you want . | |
| 104:30 | You also have more time in the day since you're | |
| 104:33 | not commuting or walking from the train station into work | |
| 104:36 | . It's also easier to practice speaking . Many people | |
| 104:40 | might find it hard to practice on the train or | |
| 104:42 | at a lunch break or in the office during work | |
| 104:45 | . It might sound a little strange but at home | |
| 104:48 | you can dedicate more time to practicing speaking . What's | |
| 104:51 | your favorite pro of learning at home ? Leave us | |
| 104:54 | a comment now . What about the cons distractions ? | |
| 104:58 | There are a lot more distractions at home there's the | |
| 105:01 | tv there's the couch and the food and family members | |
| 105:04 | coming in and out next . There's no physical or | |
| 105:07 | mental separation between rest and work which is crucial for | |
| 105:11 | focus . It's the same reason why people prefer going | |
| 105:14 | to the gym instead of working out from the comfort | |
| 105:16 | of their own home . If you're in a place | |
| 105:19 | where there's only one goal like working out and you're | |
| 105:21 | surrounded by people working out you'll have no problem doing | |
| 105:24 | it . But if you're in a place you associate | |
| 105:27 | with rest eating and watching tv you might have trouble | |
| 105:30 | focusing . But if you're spending more time at home | |
| 105:34 | then you should at least make the best of it | |
| 105:35 | and learn your language at home . Part two How | |
| 105:39 | to successfully learn from home without getting distracted . So | |
| 105:43 | here's how you do it first , pick a dedicated | |
| 105:46 | place for learning and preferably not your bed , just | |
| 105:50 | like an office is associated with working time and your | |
| 105:52 | bedroom is associated with rest . You need a place | |
| 105:55 | associated with language learning , it could be your desk | |
| 105:58 | in the corner of the room , it could be | |
| 106:00 | your basement , as long as it's far from distractions | |
| 106:03 | and places of rest . Second pick a time that | |
| 106:07 | way , for example , when it's nine PM , | |
| 106:09 | you know , it's time to put in 10 minutes | |
| 106:11 | of language learning Three time box , your study sessions | |
| 106:16 | . What's time boxing time boxing is simply setting a | |
| 106:19 | fixed amount of time for an activity . For example | |
| 106:22 | , you're going to dedicate the next 10 minutes to | |
| 106:25 | language and nothing else . If you usually have trouble | |
| 106:28 | concentrating time , boxing is a good way to set | |
| 106:31 | boundaries and get things done . Four start small , | |
| 106:36 | just like with setting small , measurable goals and realistic | |
| 106:39 | routines don't set aside two hours for study time . | |
| 106:43 | Instead try to time box 5 , 10 or 15 | |
| 106:46 | minutes and stick with that for a week or two | |
| 106:48 | . You can always increase your time later once you | |
| 106:51 | get more comfortable with your routine . Five do multiple | |
| 106:55 | sessions in one day instead of trying to master a | |
| 106:58 | lesson and the lesson , dialogue in one shot space | |
| 107:02 | out your learning throughout the day , in the morning | |
| 107:04 | , afternoon and at night . So take an audio | |
| 107:07 | or video lesson and read along with the lesson notes | |
| 107:10 | in the morning , Get acquainted with the conversation , | |
| 107:13 | all the words and Grammar rules . Don't rush to | |
| 107:16 | memorize it all . You'll come back to it later | |
| 107:19 | in the day and do this for around 5 to | |
| 107:21 | 15 minutes during the day . Practice shadowing the dialogue | |
| 107:25 | , practice recalling the words , do this for around | |
| 107:28 | 10 minutes . You can also write out the lesson | |
| 107:31 | . Dialogue practice using the Grammar rules or drill the | |
| 107:34 | words with flash cards and at night come back and | |
| 107:37 | review for about 10 minutes . You can re listen | |
| 107:39 | to the lesson or just the dialogue track by doing | |
| 107:43 | multiple sessions in one day you'll be a lot more | |
| 107:45 | comfortable with the language simply because you spaced out your | |
| 107:48 | learning and came back to review and while it may | |
| 107:51 | feel repetitive it's the repetition that helps you master the | |
| 107:55 | language over the long term six . Use at home | |
| 107:59 | time to practice speaking more . It would be hard | |
| 108:02 | to practice if you were commuting or out on a | |
| 108:05 | walk . But if you're at home you can easily | |
| 108:07 | speak out loud without drawing attention or feeling embarrassed . | |
| 108:11 | So to recap , one pick a specific place for | |
| 108:14 | learning that's far from distractions like your bed , two | |
| 108:18 | Pick a specific time for studying three Time box , | |
| 108:23 | your study sessions , four start small Five do multiple | |
| 108:28 | sessions in one day and six . Use at home | |
| 108:31 | time to practice speaking more . So thank you for | |

| 113:48 | you ever wondered if you could learn a language faster | |
| 113:51 | ? We asked our experience learners for their best tips | |
| 113:54 | so you can steal these and use them for yourself | |
| 113:57 | . In this video you'll discover five tactics for faster | |
| 114:00 | language learning . Number one try more challenging lessons to | |
| 114:05 | improve faster . If you're wondering why should I try | |
| 114:09 | a harder lesson . Think about the gym studying is | |
| 114:13 | a bit like working out . If you want to | |
| 114:15 | get bigger and stronger , you need to exercise with | |
| 114:18 | heavier weights . But you might think if I try | |
| 114:21 | a harder lesson , I won't be able to understand | |
| 114:23 | everything . Remember that's normal . When you can't understand | |
| 114:27 | 100 of a lesson , it means there are things | |
| 114:30 | in a lesson for you to learn . Keep in | |
| 114:32 | mind that you should challenge yourself but not choose lessons | |
| 114:35 | that are impossible and make sure to use the tools | |
| 114:38 | you have to study the things you don't know with | |
| 114:41 | our learning program teachers break down the conversation in every | |
| 114:44 | lesson . You also get the translations and explanations right | |
| 114:48 | there on the lesson page , there are also lesson | |
| 114:50 | notes transcripts and dialogue study tools for you to use | |
| 114:55 | , remember how you felt when you started studying and | |
| 114:58 | try to keep that beginner mindset when you realize you | |
| 115:01 | don't understand something , don't run away from it . | |
| 115:04 | Instead use the tools you have to work to understand | |
| 115:07 | it . This will help you learn faster . Number | |
| 115:10 | two , put your learning on autopilot . Imagine you | |
| 115:14 | have a bunch of learning apps and textbooks . Maybe | |
| 115:17 | you have a bunch of steady tools on your smartphone | |
| 115:19 | or a bunch of books piled on the table you | |
| 115:22 | want to read ? Where do you even begin ? | |
| 115:24 | A lot of learners begin with a lot of enthusiasm | |
| 115:27 | so they buy a lot of resources but then get | |
| 115:30 | overwhelmed . They're not sure where to start or what | |
| 115:33 | to do or how to continue . Let's think about | |
| 115:35 | a textbook . It's easy to understand how to use | |
| 115:38 | a textbook . You follow the pages begin with chapter | |
| 115:41 | one , then go to chapter two , chapter three | |
| 115:43 | and so on . Until you finish the book . | |
| 115:45 | The road forward is clear . You don't have to | |
| 115:48 | think about anything except moving forward with your studies . | |
| 115:51 | So how do you apply this kind of autopilot approach | |
| 115:54 | ? If you're not using a textbook , You can | |
| 115:57 | actually do this with our language learning programs tracking feature | |
| 116:01 | with our progress tracking dashboard . Once you've chosen , | |
| 116:04 | your learning level will give you a recommended lesson pathway | |
| 116:07 | and feed you lessons 1x1 . The dashboard will tell | |
| 116:10 | you which lessons to take from less than one to | |
| 116:12 | lesson two to lesson three . You'll be guided as | |
| 116:15 | you work on improving Number three , read lines from | |
| 116:19 | the lesson dialogue out loud slowly , then reread and | |
| 116:23 | increase your speed . This tactic is powerful for two | |
| 116:26 | reasons . It helps you become able to read faster | |
| 116:29 | and speak faster . Speaking smoothly is something many beginners | |
| 116:33 | say they struggle with . So this kind of practice | |
| 116:36 | can be very beneficial for beginning learners with our language | |
| 116:40 | learning program . For every lesson you get a conversation | |
| 116:43 | , read the dialogue with the line by line , | |
| 116:45 | dialogue , read out loud slowly , once , then | |
| 116:48 | reread a bit faster , then again and keep increasing | |
| 116:51 | your speed until you can say the lines comfortably and | |
| 116:54 | sound like a native . You can take it a | |
| 116:56 | step further and try to memorize the dialogue to try | |
| 116:59 | recalling it after your study session and say the lines | |
| 117:02 | out loud . This kind of review will help you | |
| 117:04 | progress and help you remember number four . Review old | |
| 117:09 | lessons to master them completely . Review is essential for | |
| 117:13 | your learning . If you come across a new word | |
| 117:15 | , you won't remember it . If you see it | |
| 117:17 | only once , it takes repetition to remember something , | |
| 117:20 | make sure to take time to review past lessons , | |
| 117:24 | give your brain a chance to remember the things you | |
| 117:26 | studied previously . For example , if you try our | |

| 119:01 | cultures have a form of music . Music is one | |
| 119:04 | of the most basic tools we can use to learn | |
| 119:06 | a language . Parents use music and songs to teach | |
| 119:09 | their young Children simple words , music can help us | |
| 119:12 | focus , help us remember better and thus help us | |
| 119:15 | as we acquire a language , music can aid our | |
| 119:17 | coordination and physical development too . So how do we | |
| 119:22 | use music to support our language learning ? Now , | |
| 119:24 | as grown people In this video , we'll look at | |
| 119:28 | four ways to use music to study a language imitating | |
| 119:32 | structures and rhythms is important when learning a language and | |
| 119:35 | the same is true for music . When Children play | |
| 119:38 | with other Children , they listen to songs , move | |
| 119:40 | their bodies as they play games and try to imitate | |
| 119:43 | what they see and hear this practice of regular imitation | |
| 119:47 | aids Children as they gain their language skills , repeating | |
| 119:50 | song lyrics like those from nursery rhymes helps kids retain | |
| 119:53 | words and expressions . Children may not know the meanings | |
| 119:56 | of all the words in the songs they sing , | |
| 119:58 | but they remember the songs , the vocabulary and the | |
| 120:01 | rhythms . Children practice making sounds by mimicking the pronunciation | |
| 120:06 | of words . This can be the first step to | |
| 120:08 | the child understanding the meaning and use of a word | |
| 120:10 | , you might not realize it , but you probably | |
| 120:13 | still remember many of the songs and rhymes you learned | |
| 120:16 | when you were a child were able to remember expressions | |
| 120:19 | , words and ideas effectively when they're put to music | |
| 120:22 | . This is also the reason you can memorize the | |
| 120:24 | lyrics of songs you like rather easily patterns like those | |
| 120:28 | in many popular songs are repetitive . We review the | |
| 120:31 | rhythms and the words each time we listen , everybody's | |
| 120:34 | different . So if you want to use music to | |
| 120:36 | support your language learning , we're here to provide four | |
| 120:39 | different ways . Number one passive listening . One way | |
| 120:45 | to study with music is through passive listening . You | |
| 120:48 | can do this with songs you have in your target | |
| 120:49 | language on your computer , a cd , your favorite | |
| 120:52 | streaming site . You can use this method as long | |
| 120:54 | as you have access to music in the language . | |
| 120:56 | You want to study , turn the music on and | |
| 120:59 | let it play in the background while you do something | |
| 121:01 | else like studying , cooking dinner or cleaning the house | |
| 121:04 | , Do this regularly and let your mind get used | |
| 121:07 | to the idea of hearing your target language in your | |
| 121:10 | environment . This kind of familiarity with the language will | |
| 121:13 | help you as you work towards fluency , passive listening | |
| 121:16 | is one form of language immersion as you listen to | |
| 121:19 | the background music over and over and get more comfortable | |
| 121:22 | with it . You'll start to notice keywords , intonation | |
| 121:25 | , grammar patterns and so on . With enough practice | |
| 121:28 | and with enough different music to listen to , you | |
| 121:30 | might even start to recognize certain sounds and words when | |
| 121:33 | you hear them somewhere else . Number two memorization , | |
| 121:38 | you can use music to help build your vocabulary and | |
| 121:41 | memorize words effectively . This method focuses on studying lyrics | |
| 121:45 | and songs to improve your ability to recall the words | |
| 121:49 | . Look up the lyrics to a song you're listening | |
| 121:51 | to and review them line by line . You can | |
| 121:53 | read the lyrics as you listen to the song or | |
| 121:55 | try to remember the next line in the song before | |
| 121:57 | it is sung memorization practice like this enhances your listening | |
| 122:01 | skills and boosts your reading skills . Number three sing | |
| 122:05 | along our first tip in this lesson was to listen | |
| 122:09 | passively . This tip however is to listen actively by | |
| 122:13 | singing along to your music . Look at the lyrics | |
| 122:16 | of a song you like play the song and try | |
| 122:18 | to sing along . You may also be able to | |
| 122:20 | find videos on Youtube of popular songs with the lyrics | |
| 122:23 | included . If it's difficult at first , don't worry | |
| 122:27 | , remember regular review and practice is essential just as | |
| 122:30 | we usually need to hear a song in our native | |
| 122:33 | language a few times before we remember the words you | |
| 122:36 | can expect to need to listen several times over a | |
| 122:38 | few days before you feel comfortable with all the words | |
| 122:41 | . Through practicing this way , you'll learn grammar , | |
| 122:44 | spelling and pronunciation . You'll also get to enjoy a | |
| 122:47 | song you like . Moreover , this type of exercise | |
| 122:50 | will help you work on your reading and listening skills | |
| 122:53 | . A good way to check your progress is by | |
| 122:55 | trying to sing the song by yourself . You can | |
| 122:58 | sing with no music or you can try looking for | |
| 123:00 | a karaoke version of the song you like . If | |
| 123:02 | you can sing all the words great . If not | |
| 123:05 | , you can go back to the lyrics and study | |
| 123:07 | a bit more until you master the track number four | |
| 123:11 | transcription . To do this exercise , listen to the | |
| 123:14 | song as it plays right down or transcribed the lyrics | |
| 123:18 | . You can start and stop the song at the | |
| 123:20 | end of each line to slow things down a bit | |
| 123:23 | . If you begin your studies with this method , | |
| 123:25 | you might catch only a few words but don't get | |
| 123:27 | frustrated . Play the song and write down everything you | |
| 123:30 | can hear . Then play the song again and write | |
| 123:33 | down the words that you missed the first time you | |
| 123:35 | listened with practice like this , you're listening skills will | |
| 123:38 | improve and so will your spelling . These are just | |
| 123:41 | a few ways that you can use music to study | |
| 123:43 | another language , Be patient and don't forget to enjoy | |
| 123:47 | the music you're listening to as you study . If | |
| 123:50 | you want to start simple , try listening to Children's | |
| 123:52 | songs in your target language . The song lyrics tend | |
| 123:55 | to be repeated a lot and this can help you | |
| 123:57 | identify keywords quickly learning a language through music is fun | |
| 124:02 | . It can help you focus your attention and improve | |

| 124:42 | Just click the link in the description when learning a | |
| 124:46 | new language . Everyone should have an ultimate goal to | |
| 124:48 | work towards whether you want to be able to connect | |
| 124:51 | with a relative easily order food while traveling or go | |
| 124:54 | somewhere new . Having an end goal for your learning | |
| 124:57 | can be very motivating a popular but challenging goal is | |
| 125:01 | being able to speak like a native speaker . It's | |
| 125:03 | difficult to measure exactly when you reach this goal and | |
| 125:06 | it's not something you can pick up using textbooks alone | |
| 125:09 | . So how do you work on making your speech | |
| 125:11 | more natural ? That's what we're going to look at | |
| 125:13 | today . Here are three tips to help you practice | |
| 125:16 | talking like a native speaker . Number one focus on | |
| 125:21 | vocabulary . If your goal is to speak like a | |
| 125:24 | native , you might be really focused on speaking quickly | |
| 125:27 | or using as many complex grammar patterns as possible , | |
| 125:31 | but in our native languages were not always trying to | |
| 125:34 | speak as fast as possible and we use complex grammar | |
| 125:37 | patterns when necessary not to show off vocabulary , however | |
| 125:41 | , is extremely important to expressing ourselves naturally . Your | |
| 125:44 | choice of words can reveal a lot about you and | |
| 125:47 | your understanding of the language . Most learners have had | |
| 125:51 | the experience of using a phrase book or a dictionary | |
| 125:53 | to find a word they want to use , trying | |
| 125:56 | the word in conversation and getting a look of confusion | |
| 125:58 | from the native speaker . In some cases , although | |
| 126:01 | your word choice may be grammatically correct , the word | |
| 126:04 | may be inappropriate for the situation or totally unnatural . | |
| 126:08 | This is especially important in business and other formal situations | |
| 126:12 | where the right level of formality and professionalism is key | |
| 126:15 | . Being able to understand nuances and vocabulary words can | |
| 126:19 | also help you understand relationships between people just by listening | |
| 126:23 | to the conversation . Try to listen to many different | |
| 126:26 | types of conversations , listen to how people talk to | |
| 126:29 | their friends , their superiors and in customer service situations | |
| 126:32 | , this will give you a better idea of how | |
| 126:34 | to talk to others naturally . In some languages you | |
| 126:38 | can omit words from sentences or use more direct communication | |
| 126:41 | styles . It's important to be aware of these things | |
| 126:44 | so you can apply them yourself . Colloquialisms and slang | |
| 126:48 | are also commonly used in most languages , as this | |
| 126:51 | sort of vocabulary is always evolving . It can be | |
| 126:53 | difficult to keep up with the latest words , talk | |
| 126:56 | with native speakers and consume media in your target language | |
| 126:59 | to make sure you pick up these kinds of expressions | |
| 127:02 | . Media is a great resource for your learning . | |
| 127:05 | Ultimately knowing the appropriate vocabulary to use for each situation | |
| 127:09 | will really help you sound more knowledgeable . Number two | |
| 127:13 | , perfect . Your accent with every language , there | |
| 127:17 | are unique pronunciation and intonation challenges . Some languages are | |
| 127:21 | tonal languages and a change in pitch can completely change | |
| 127:25 | the meaning of a word . Then there's the fact | |
| 127:27 | that most countries have multiple dialects and so people from | |
| 127:30 | one area of the country may sound different from those | |
| 127:33 | in another . So what is the best way to | |
| 127:35 | listen to a wide range of accents and different pronunciations | |
| 127:40 | ? Video and audio resources are a great way to | |
| 127:42 | do this . Youtube is a perfect place to start | |
| 127:45 | because people from all kinds of different backgrounds upload videos | |
| 127:48 | to the platform . You can watch educational videos , | |
| 127:51 | daily life logs , cooking shows , a travel series | |
| 127:54 | , whatever interests you pay attention to the different ways | |
| 127:57 | people speak . Everyone is unique and then practice speaking | |
| 128:01 | like them . This kind of practice can help you | |
| 128:04 | sound more natural . One note , please be aware | |
| 128:07 | of the type of resources you're using . For example | |
| 128:11 | , if you find a video where a speaker uses | |
| 128:13 | a rare dialect , it might not be a good | |
| 128:15 | idea to use that for your pronunciation . Practice unless | |
| 128:18 | you have a special reason for studying a specific accent | |
| 128:21 | . As a general rule , it's best to try | |
| 128:23 | to search for practice resources that uses standard form with | |
| 128:26 | the language are studying . Yeah . Number three Copy | |
| 128:30 | What You Hear . Do you remember how you learn | |
| 128:33 | to speak as a child ? We rarely learned new | |
| 128:36 | words just listening to them or reading after we learned | |
| 128:38 | how when we were little kids , we imitated the | |
| 128:41 | sounds we heard by repeating the sounds out loud while | |
| 128:44 | you're talking to a friend , watching videos or listening | |
| 128:47 | to audio in your target language . You can do | |
| 128:49 | this to try and replicate the way they speak . | |
| 128:53 | Doing this will help you work on mastering the flow | |
| 128:55 | of the language , your accent , intonation and pronunciation | |
| 128:59 | . Of course , you might also pick up some | |
| 129:01 | new vocabulary this way . Make sure to repeat new | |
| 129:04 | words often . It's a great way to make sure | |
| 129:06 | you remember them . Try doing this using a number | |
| 129:09 | of different mediums and sources that way . You'll be | |
| 129:12 | exposed to the diversity with the language offers and master | |
| 129:15 | the fundamentals of pronunciation . For example , you can | |
| 129:19 | watch and imitate several different Youtube videos and audio cds | |
| 129:23 | but try a few different sources like different creators or | |
| 129:26 | different audio types to make sure you experience a wide | |
| 129:29 | range of communication in your target language . If you're | |
| 129:33 | using our Language learning program , you can even get | |
