Transcript


00:00	Hi , I'm jennifer from english with jennifer and I'd
00:04	like to share a lesson to help you learn english
00:06	vocabulary and understand american culture a little better thanksgiving is
00:12	a time when we gather with family sadly my family
00:17	is so spread out that we can't easily gather for
00:20	holidays . My relatives don't just live in different towns
00:24	or even different states . They live in different countries
00:28	thankfully I have some things in my home that makes
00:31	me feel closer to family . For example , I
00:36	have serving dishes from my grandmother like this one and
00:41	this one when I see them and use them .
00:45	I think of all the thanksgiving dinners we had with
00:48	family around the table . My extended family is quite
00:52	large . Mhm Do you know what I mean by
00:56	extended family in this lesson , we'll go beyond basic
01:00	family vocabulary and we'll talk about different branches on your
01:04	family tree . Yeah . Yeah . Mm . When
01:14	you're a kid , your immediate family is your parents
01:17	and your siblings . Some call this the nuclear family
01:21	. I think sometimes the words are interchangeable nuclear family
01:25	immediate family . But what I understand is that the
01:28	nuclear family is under one roof . The household of
01:32	a nuclear family consists of the parents and the Children
01:36	. My concept of immediate family is a bit bigger
01:42	as adults . Many of us get married and have
01:45	Children . You could say that my nuclear family now
01:48	is my husband and our Children . But when I
01:51	think of immediate family , I still include my parents
01:55	and my brothers . Does that make sense ? But
01:59	those relatives are not necessarily considered immediate family for my
02:04	Children . For them , their immediate family is me
02:10	, my husband , their father and each other get
02:14	it . You hear the term immediate family in the
02:20	context of rules and policies . For example , at
02:24	a hospital , a very sick patient would be allowed
02:27	to receive visits only from immediate family and at work
02:32	, you would be allowed to take off a certain
02:34	number of days for a family emergency , That's a
02:38	kind of emergency that concerns immediate family . Not some
02:42	distant cousin , extended family refers to relatives outside the
02:49	nuclear family , grandparents , aunts , uncles , cousins
02:55	, all those more distant branches on your family tree
02:58	are part of your extended family . Did you know
03:04	your great grandparents ? Maybe you're fortunate enough to still
03:07	have them around today ? I knew my great grandmother
03:11	, she was my grandfather's mother and she came to
03:15	the U . S . From hungry . She married
03:17	my great grandfather , who came from Serbia . My
03:21	great grandparents on my grandmother's side were from Poland and
03:25	they didn't live long enough for me to meet them
03:28	. Obviously I didn't have the chance to meet my
03:31	great great grandparents . I met my paternal grandparents ,
03:35	my father's parents because they visited us from the Philippines
03:39	when I was a child . Note how we can
03:44	use these phrases to clarify which part of the family
03:48	tree were referring to . On my mother's side ,
03:53	on my father's side , my maternal grandparents , my
03:58	paternal grandparents . Now this is where it gets a
04:05	little confusing . Who is the sister of your grandmother
04:10	or grandfather ? That's your great aunt , Some say
04:15	grand aunt , but I don't hear that too much
04:18	. I knew at least two of my great aunt
04:21	on my mother's side , my grandmother's brother needed regular
04:26	care . So he lived with my grandparents who was
04:30	he . To me , he was my great uncle
04:34	and I was his grand niece . My brothers were
04:37	his grand nephews . You will also hear great knees
04:41	and great nephew . Same thing . Just remember that
04:45	we use great to indicate that we're one generation removed
04:49	from that person . We add on another great for
04:53	each generation . Can you name your great great grandparents
05:01	? Do you know how I called my relatives and
05:03	childhood forms of address vary from family to family ,
05:07	especially in intercultural marriages . I called my grandparents on
05:12	my mother's side , grandma and grandpa up . I
05:15	called my grandparents on my father's side , Lola and
05:19	Lolo . My great uncle was uncle Jim , my
05:23	great aunt was and Kasia . And note how I
05:26	said aunt in american english , you can say aunt
05:31	or aunt . I just happened to say aunt ,
05:34	my aunt Kasia , my Children call my husband's mother
05:39	babushka . Their grandmother is in Russia . What do
05:45	you call your grandparents ? How do you address aunts
05:48	and uncles ? My father immigrated from the Philippines so
05:54	I didn't get to know his side of the family
05:56	to , well I did get the chance to meet
05:59	most of his sisters . They were and are my
06:02	aunts on my mother's side . I didn't have any
06:06	answer uncles because she was an only child . But
06:12	my grandmother came from a very large family and her
06:16	siblings had Children . So my mother and I had
06:19	lots of cousins growing up . A first cousin is
06:25	the child of an aunt or an uncle . 2nd
06:28	cousins share great grandparents . Think about that for a
06:33	moment . My grandmother had one child , my mother
06:39	, my grandmother's sister , my aunt , Kasia also
06:43	had Children . Those Children were first cousins to my
06:47	mother , their Children and I share a set of
06:51	great grandparents . So we're second cousins , at least
06:55	that's how I understand it when it gets really confusing
06:59	, which is called people cousins . I have a
07:02	lot of cousins back in pennsylvania , my home state
07:07	. You can get into third cousins when you start
07:10	talking about Children of second cousins . But if it
07:13	gets too confusing than just call people cousins or simply
07:17	family , you can call relatives family , you're related
07:24	. They're part of your extended family . When we
07:29	can't remember exactly how we're related , we sometimes refer
07:32	to someone as a distant cousin . You know that
07:35	you're related by blood , sometimes you'll hear once removed
07:42	or twice removed . This refers to how far apart
07:45	you are in generations . My mother's first cousin and
07:51	I became quite close . She is my first cousin
07:54	. Once removed . For my Children , she is
07:57	their first cousin . Twice removed . They simply think
08:00	of her as a cousin . It's simpler that way
08:06	. Let's not forget about in laws . When you
08:09	get married , you marry into another family . My
08:13	husband's parents are my in laws . My mother in
08:16	law and father in law were able to attend our
08:19	wedding because we got married in Russia . My husband
08:23	has a sister . She is my sister in law
08:26	, and my brothers became my husband's brothers in law
08:32	. Note these plural forms mothers in law , fathers
08:37	in law , sisters in law , brothers in law
08:45	. But to talk about the mother and father of
08:47	your spouse , you can simply say in laws ,
08:51	for example , we're spending thanksgiving with my in laws
08:56	or my in laws are visiting this weekend In modern
09:02	society . We have different kinds of families . 2nd
09:05	and third marriages are fairly common . So we have
09:09	blended families . That's when two families become one ,
09:13	a couple gets married and they bring with them Children
09:17	from a previous marriage . The ex husband or ex
09:22	wife are no longer immediate family to the person who
09:26	got remarried in a blended family or in a second
09:31	marriage . We can talk about step parents and step
09:34	Children , stepmother , stepfather , stepsister , stepbrother .
09:42	When you think about parents and siblings and cousins of
09:46	a stepmother or stepfather , it gets a little confusing
09:50	. You can explain that someone isn't a blood relation
09:53	there not a blood relative , but they're still family
09:57	. You can be related by birth or by marriage
10:03	. The funny thing is that we can be very
10:05	close to someone who isn't a blood relative , but
10:09	they're like family . We say she's like a sister
10:12	to me . I consider him family . Here are
10:18	a couple more words . You need to know .
10:20	What do we call to Children who share only one
10:24	parent . They're half brothers and half sisters . For
10:32	fun and for practice , talk about your family .
10:35	See how many people you can name on your family
10:38	tree . Use vocabulary from this lesson . Here's a
10:44	quick quiz You can answer in the comments , Who
10:49	is your mother's new husband ? Who is your grandmother's
10:56	brother ? Who is your aunt's son ? Who is
11:05	your wife's sister ? Who is the son of your
11:12	father and stepmother ? Who was your great uncle's granddaughter
11:21	? Mm . Mhm . What's a blended family ?
11:29	Yeah . Name . two different ways . People can
11:33	be related . That's all for now . I hope
