cut it out
the next phrase is
cut it out
now
this is usually what a parent would say
to a child when they want them to stop
doing something
stop it in other words cut it out really
it's any situation that you want to have
stopped now let's say my friend likes to
click her pen
all the time
and i'm getting really annoyed i would
turn to her and say
cut it out michelle
i'm upset
the next phrase is
i'm upset
upset
here means
not happy
angry
frustrated
i'm upset you can say this in many
different ways the intonation is
important
if you're trying to remain calm
what's wrong
becky
i'm upset
i mean i'm really upset but i'm not
going to show you or you can really just
yell this like i'm upset with you i'm
upset who do you think you are who do
you think you are
so you say this to someone when you feel
that they're being way too proud maybe
way too selfish they think they're
number one they've done something and
you can't believe
they were so bold as to do that like who
do you think you are superman you can't
run that marathon tomorrow with no
training
who do you think you are who do you
think you are the president of the
universe
watch your mouth
we say this when someone is using bad
language or language we think is too
strong for the situation a lot of
parents will say this to their kids
or a lot of you know people fighting in
a relationship might say that to each
other so i'm not going to use the
language here but if i said something
very strong very rude
my mom or my friend might say hey watch
your mouth
be careful about what you say you're not
listening to me the next phrase is
you're not listening to me
pretty clear right
yeah you're not listening to me let me
say it again
i
don't want to go
or something like that you're not
listening to me is used when we're
getting angry because we really don't
think that person is listening to us so
we say hey you're not listening to me
i've been saying it many times but
you're you're not listening to me let me
say it again i want a raise
let's stay together
loving you whether times are good or bad
happy or sad
al green from let's stay together
our first amazing love quote is
from al greene from his song let's stay
together now first i'm going to say it

let's stay together
loving you
whether times are good or bad

let's stay together
loving you whether
times are good or bad
happy or sad
thank you al green that was beautiful al
green love it every time nice slow song
playing on a friday night with your
girlfriend or boyfriend so this quote i
love it because it means that
al green or whoever is singing it to you
is going to love you
no matter if it's good times or bad
times if you're happy or if you're sad
and it kind of reminds me of the classic
american wedding vows that we say
we say i will love you this is not exact
but we say i will love you in sickness
or in health
till death do we part
i like this song a lot
we should love each other in good times
and bad right it's not true love if
you're just loving in good times right i
want you there in the bad times too
bette midler from wind beneath my wings
our second amazing love quote is
you are the wind beneath my wings
we first heard this from bette midler in
her song wind beneath my wings
now this is a very beautiful song about
it comes from a movie called beaches
that was about two
basically best friends so she's singing
this to her best girlfriend and she's
saying you are the wind beneath my wings
in fact you are the person who
gives me this feeling that i can fly and
you support me
so that i feel like i can fly so you're
the wind kind of beneath my wings
and it's this line is in the chorus uh
repeated many times in the song and
uh it goes like this did you ever
know that you're my hero
you're everything i would like to be
i can fly
higher than anyone
for you are the wind beneath my wings
something like that i love that that
movie will make you cry by the way girls
get the tissues ready oh and then the
spell was cast
and here we are in heaven

edda james from at last
okay our third amazing love quote is
edda james this is from her song at last
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are
in heaven
for you are mine at last
now let me talk for a minute about the
phrase the spell was cast
it's kind of like a witch that can cast
a spell on you
and so if you have a spell cast on you
it's like
you are under this like
this um
command from someone else and
you are acting different because they
made you do something but it's like
you're so in love with this person that
it's like you'll do anything for them
you're under a spell you know we might
say and so it's like we're in heaven
together it feels like we're in heaven
i've been waiting so long to be with you
here we are
um you are mine at last
now this may not surprise you but this
is a popular wedding song
eddie james sang this i want to say back
in the 1960s i might have that wrong but
it also became popular from the beyonce
movie a few years ago where she played
etta james and beyonce sang this song as
well this quote is right in the middle
of the song so don't be don't be
surprised when i start very strong here
here we go
oh
and then
the spell was cast
[Music]
and here we are
in heaven
for you a man
at
last there's a lot of quaver in the
voice

the end of the song sorry not the not
the middle but beautiful song recommend
that song at last check it out by etta
james
i keep the ends out for the tie that
binds
because you're mine i walk the line
johnny cash from i walk the line
our next amazing love quote is from
johnny cash one of my favorites the
quote is a little difficult i think so
listen closely i keep the ends out for
the tie that binds
because you're mine i walk the line the
tie that binds
means a like a tie or a connection to
someone you're bound to that person and
johnny actually wrote this song for his
first wife vivian
as kind of a promise to her that he
would not cheat on her on the road
so by this lyric
he's saying i keep my eye out
in case anyone i keep the ends out here
he says which is like his eye i keep the
i
my ends out for any
potential connection i don't want to be
connected to anyone else
because you're mine
i walk the line now walking the line
means like to follow a strict
line or path and not go out or away from
that line to follow the rules basically
because you're mine i'm following the
rules i am keeping my eye out in case i
make any connections that i'm not hoping
or wanting to make i keep the ends out
for the tie that binds
because you're mine
i walk the line
sorry johnny had to go high on that one
johnny did not follow those rules in
fact when he met his second wife june
carter cash who turned out to be the
love of his life and on the day he met
her he said
you're the woman i'm gonna marry someday
my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
nina simone from my baby just cares for
me
oh my god i love this song oh my god oh
my god i love this song the next amazing
love quote is i'm gonna say it's my
favorite i just love this song it's by
one of my favorite singers of all time
nina simone
absolute legend
wonderful pianist okay here's the quote
my baby don't care for shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
now maybe by the end there you realize
my baby is not her actual baby like baby
no no this is her lover her love
interest
so she's saying my baby don't care for
shows my baby doesn't care about going
to plays or maybe movies
my baby don't care for clothes my baby
doesn't my lover doesn't care about
buying the latest fashion trends
my baby just cares for me my lover just
cares about me so we don't need anything
fancy we don't have to do anything
special
we just need to care and be with each
other
and so it's a it's a great it's a great
quote also notice here the grammar is
completely wrong
my baby don't you should say my baby
doesn't
but this is for a stylistic flair if you
will so here is part of this amazing
song here we go my baby don't care for
shows
my baby don't care for clothes
my baby just cares for me
oh where is my piano back up that song
is gorgeous please check out the whole
song phrase number one i get to check
this off my bucket list
in english we have this phrase to kick
the bucket which means to die
so to make a bucket list is to make a
list of things to do before you die now
for me one of mine was to go in a hot
air balloon i had tried to do it for the
first time in 2009 but the morning i
went the trip was canceled so here i am
again
more than six years later and i'm trying
again and this time it was successful so
i get to check it off my bucket list i
get to do this thing before i die and i
did it english class 101 listeners it
was so exciting so you should make a
list of things to do before you die your
own bucket list phrase number two will
you marry me
so today is actually valentine's day and
it's very popular on valentine's day and
anytime you're planning to propose to
your special someone
to
go to a special place and i can't think
of a more special place than in a hot
air balloon there's enough space trust
me in the basket to kneel down at least
from my country the usa it's customary
to get down on one knee it doesn't
really matter which knee at least i've
never thought so
and you get down you kneel on one knee
and you say will you marry me now
unfortunately listeners i did not see
any marriage proposals on my balloon
yesterday but i bet you today
there are over 30 balloons that go off
here in bagan myanmar i bet you someone
proposed oh it would have been such a
beautiful moment
will you marry me that is phrase number
two phrase number three this is a first
for me so going in a hot air balloon as
i said i had never done it before so it
is a first for me a first being the
first time i have done something i'm
sure there are many firsts that you can
think of in your life that you've had
and maybe many more firsts that you'd
like to have
so this was a first for me or this is a
first for me phrase number three maybe a
first for you could be the first time
that you've ever
had sushi or the first time that you've
ever
climbed a mountain i mean there are so
many firsts that you can have this is a
first for me getting in a hot air
balloon phrase number four the view is
incredible from up here now this is
something that we use in english to say
whenever we've gone to the top of an
observation tower the top of a mountain
the top of a temple like i went to this
morning or really any high place that
you go to to take a great photo or to
get an incredible view we say the view
is incredible from up here phrase number
five what a ride champagne time so at
the end of my balloon ride yesterday as
soon as we dropped into the field below
we had a beautiful picnic basket
unfurled on the field in front of us and
we got to enjoy a glass of champagne to
celebrate and when we finish something
some incredible ride some maybe could be
in the car on a bus
it could be from a bad experience or a
good but we say what a ride what a ride
and when we're about to drink champagne
we say champagne time this expression
from after riding in a hot air balloon
originally came from the pilots of these
balloons wanting to make sure the
farmers
in the fields where they landed didn't
get too upset so they would offer the
farmers some champagne along with any
guests they may have in their balloons
and that's where the tradition first
came from so what a ride champagne time
phrase number five how much is it to
how much is it to
how much is it to the airport
you might ask this question to find out
how much it costs to take a train or a
bus or a taxi to where you need to go
if you get into a taxi for example and
you ask how much is it to the airport
the taxi driver will tell you thirty
dollars he'll tell you the price you
need to pay to get to the airport
if you're taking a train you might ask
the ticket seller how much is it to the
airport
and the ticket seller will tell you the
train to the airport costs ten dollars
for example
that way you know how much it costs to
go to where you need to be
does this bus go to
does this bus go to the suburbs
does this bus go to is a way of asking
whether or not the bus that you're
looking at has the destination that you
need
so you might get on the bus and ask the
bus driver does this bus go to
the suburbs whatever destination and the
bus driver will answer and tell you yes
get on or no you want a different bus
what time is the next bus
what time will the next bus arrive
by asking what time is the next bus
you're asking when the bus is going to
come to the bus stop or whatever station
the bus will stop at
this way you know what time you need to
be at that bus stop
the train is running late
the train is running late again
this is something i say all the time in
new york city the train is running late
if the train is running late
that means you will probably be running
late when you get off the train
where are the ticket machines
where are the ticket machines in this
station
a ticket machine is a machine that you
go to to purchase your tickets
you might see this in any station
whether it's a subway station or a
regular train station or sometimes even
a bus station there will be kiosks that
you can go to
to enter the information and purchase
your ticket by watching english movies
and tv shows and enjoying the feeling
when you can understand a word or a
sentence yeah i do this too
when you enjoy something when you find
entertainment value in something like
music movies tv and you there's that
moment when you pick up or when you
understand what your favorite character
said or you understand like a key point
in the story it's a really really good
feeling it makes you want to continue
watching i think so
that's a really really nice feeling i
think and you can do that by enjoying
media so it's a fun way to learn and
it's a fun feeling to experience okay
the next way to motivate yourself is by
reading english news articles blogs and
magazines to get a feel for formal and
casual language so the style that we use
here like in english class 101 and this
on the videos on this channel is quite
casual most of the time or at least in
these videos it's very casual but the
way that i speak in the way a newspaper
is written the way a magazine is written
the way a
a newscaster presents the information
these are all different ways of
communicating we're using the same
language yes but they're different
styles so it's important to try to
understand those differences
and to become familiar with them so try
to find a few different things that you
can enjoy the next way to motivate
yourself is after dinner you write about
your day in a journal in english okay
this is an interesting idea so just take
a few minutes after dinner or before you
go to bed to write something in english
about what you did that day or maybe
so you have a chance to talk about
future tense or to use the future tense
you can use you can talk about your
upcoming plans or the things you're
going to do the next day so you can talk
about past tense what you did that day
maybe present tense how you're feeling
as you're writing your journal for the
day and future tense to talk about your
upcoming plan so journaling can be a
really effective exercise for motivating
you okay
the next way to motivate yourself is by
practicing with flash cards of useful
words and phrases for 15 minutes every
day on the train i actually do do this i
use but i use an application to study in
japanese to study kanji and 15 minutes
every day
adds up over the course of a week you
can learn a lot of information in a
short period of time and
if you live in the country where
your target language is spoken then you
might even find the word you studied on
the train you see it like after you
leave the train you might see that word
later on in your day so you can
immediately
feel like an extra sense of motivation
by knowing that this thing you're
studying is applicable it's something
you can use right away it's a really
cool feeling so this is a tip i honestly
i use this last
i make sure to thank anyone and everyone
who corrects my english uh yeah i i
think this is really important because
people are really nice they don't want
to correct you when you make a mistake
but sometimes people do they're really
polite about it and they tell you the
more tell you a more natural way or they
give you a suggestion for how to improve
your english make sure you say thank you
like repeat after them and then say
thank you
so that you know it's motivation for
them
to tell you again in the future to help
you again in the future so make sure to
say thank you to anyone who helps you
with your english personally i think
that or i would just use i think that
personally makes it sound a little bit
more polite i think you can use this to
introduce an opinion for example
personally i think that pizza is amazing
personally i think that dinosaurs
would have been delicious
personally i think that
cars should be
made
to
enjoy
with friends
okay i'm gonna edit there
personally i think that you shouldn't
worry about it yes that's probably a
much more useful sentence than dinosaurs
would be delicious
the next expression is what does blah
blah blah mean so where here is the word
you don't know so for example what does
pasta mean what does
stegosaurus mean so a word like
stegosaurus is a really strange word
that you probably don't know stegosaurus
is a type of dinosaur we're on a very
dinosaur is i don't know
jurassic we're on a jurassic adventure
at the moment so this is a pattern you
use when you don't know uh when you
don't know the meaning of the word and
you would like someone to explain it to
you so if you say what does stegosaurus
mean then someone can say oh it's a
dinosaur it's kind of like it's a sort
of short guy it has a bunch of spikes on
its back and it has a long tail and it
gets into a fight with the tyrannosaurus
rex if you saw the movie fantasia by
disney
okay
so
in this sentence what does complication
mean it means problem okay
the next pattern you can use is can you
tell me more about blah blah blah so on
a topic that you would like more
information about you can say can you
tell me more about the soccer game last
week can you tell me more about the
plan for the party next week so
something you would like more
information about you can say can you
tell me more about this thing okay so in
a sentence can you tell me more about
your
sandwich options
that is a useful sentence that is a
useful sentence okay in this sentence
here uh we don't have that back home can
you tell me more about it
this is use the reverse pattern okay
uh the next expression is
if it were up to me if it were up to me
i had to teach this in a class a couple
weeks ago actually if it were up to me
means if i could make the decision if
this was my if this were my decision
uh blah blah blah so meaning if i could
make the choice this is what i would do
but one point here is the nuance is it
is not my decision this is not my
decision but
if it were my decision i would do blah
blah blah so for example if it were up
to me every day would be saturday
but it's not right so
um
that's that's always the underlying
that's always the kind of basic um
nuance of this phrase some this decision
is not mine okay here the example is if
it were up to me
i would
take my boss to dinner
oh my
things just got scandalous
the next pattern is i feel like blah
blah blah you can use i feel like when
you introduce a suggestion or something
that you would like to do especially for
food drinks or activities so for example
i feel like coffee i feel like italian
food i feel like an action movie there's
some activity or something you would
like to do at the end of this pattern i
feel like bowling this afternoon
something needs to go here some sort of
activity
of course
you can use this expression to talk
about your feelings i feel like
something but this something must be a
noun it must be a noun like if you feel
really great i feel like a million bucks
for example if you feel really bad i
feel like
garbage
that's a nice expression that somehow
just came out of my head anyway um you
can use this in two ways but this must
be completed with a noun phrase at the
end of the sentence
