hi there I'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and it is a pleasure
pleasure to welcome you to a brand
brand new series here on YouTube this
this is the English fluency guide
guide well what i'll be doing in this
this new series is taking the wealth
wealth of content that's available
available on YouTube instead of trying
trying to create a whole bunch of
of content myself and then just explaining
explaining it to help you understand
understand it really the goal of this
this channel is to help you move from
from an English learning channel to
to understanding and enjoying all
all of the natural native content
content that's already available right
right here on youtube so when you
you move from this channel 2 other
other channels this will help you
you meet more people to practice with
with so native speakers that you could
could comment with as well and it
it will also help you understand the
the native accent and developer better
better pronunciation and overall fluency
fluency there are a lot of great reasons
reasons to do this and
and so when I finally had this idea
idea I thought okay let's make a video
video very quickly let's try it out
out and see if other people enjoy
enjoy it as much as I think you will
will
will so
so in this first video you can see
see I'm here in Ellen's studio ok
ok so when I asked my people or my
my followers my fans on my newsletter
newsletter subscribers what
what i should do first for this a
a bunch of people were saying AI like
like watching The Ellen Show can you
you help me understand some parts
parts of it something like that so
so what we're going to do today is
is cover five little phrases five
five conversational phrases that appear
appear in one particular clip from
from The Ellen Show let's
let's get into it for a bit of background
background the video we're covering
covering today features Kate
Kate McKinnon a comedian from the
the show Saturday Night Live visiting
visiting Ellen on The Ellen Show now
now the ellen show is a popular daytime
daytime TV show and the reason I chose
chose it again is because we have
have a lot of people that were interested
interested in seeing that a lot of
of people that watch the show but
but maybe don't understand everything
everything they hear so
so I wanted to cover a few phrases
phrases from it and what you'll see
see in the video is Kate McKinnon
McKinnon pretending to be Ellen and
and so we'll talk about a couple of
of the phrases that are related to
to this and even just from the conversation
conversation in general right
right now our first phrases to do
do someone to do some way now
now when you do someone it means you're
you're impersonating them or
or you're doing an impression of that
that person so when you see Kate McKinnon
McKinnon come on the show she has
has a wig on and the clothes and other
other things she doesn't start like
like that at the beginning of the
the clip when she comes back on later
later you'll see her looking like
like Ellen and she's doing Ellen
Ellen she's doing an impression of
of Ellen to do someone the
the second phrase is the old me or
or the new meat now
now when Kate McKinnon comes onto
onto the show Ellen is saying I've
I've seen some videos of you doing
doing me
doing me so
so impersonating me but that's not
not really the way I look now so that's
that's the old me the old meat so
so as an example maybe
maybe I start wearing like t-shirts
t-shirts and jeans all the time where
where i've been wearing that but now
now i start wearing a suit or tuxedo
tuxedo every day so t-shirts and jeans
jeans that's the old me this
this is the new me with a nice suit
suit on the new me or the old me our
our next phrase is to treasure something
something or to treasure something
something forever when
when you receive a great compliment
compliment from someone or typically
typically when you receive a physical
physical gift from someone like you
you receive a necklace from your mother
mother for your anniversary or your
your birthday or something you can
can say well i really like this what
what a great conversation but really
really a kind of longer need of expression
expression is I will treasure this
this forever now
now a treasure this is a physical
physical thing like gold or jewels
jewels or something like that but
but when you have the verb here to
to treasure something it means you
you really like that thing and you
you care for it and it's especially
especially important to you now
now in the clip that you'll see when
when you link to or when I link to
to this you'll be able to see Kate
Kate McKinnon saying I will treasure
treasure this forever so she's getting
getting these clothes from Ellen and
and she's kind of making a joke this
this is being sarcastic and saying
saying WOW these clothes from Eleanor
Eleanor the most important thing I've
I've ever seen so
so she's using a very typical phrase
phrase but using it in a sarcastic
sarcastic way I will treasure this
this forever next
next you'll see Kate McKinnon pick
pick up a book so she's got some copies
copies of Eleanor ellen has some copies
copies of her own book on a little
little table in the clip and kate
kate mckinnon picks up a book and
and she also has a small copy of the
the book and she uses the phrase it
it comes
it comes in
in a little size or it comes in a
a tiny book or something like that
that when you're buying something
something that has different sizes
sizes are different variations you'll
you'll often hear people talking about
about something coming in or being
being available in a particular size
size so maybe this white shirt i'm
i'm wearing right now also comes in
in black or it comes in blue or it
it comes in a smaller size so
so again Kate McKinnon is making a
a joke saying that the book and usually
usually because we don't talk about
about books coming in different sizes
sizes
sizes she
she was noticing something funny about
about that so we've got a large regular
regular book and then the book also
also comes in a smaller cute size
size like a cute goat she
she says our final conversational
conversational phrases to catch something
something or to catch someone on a
a TV show are at a particular time
time at the end of the clip you'll
you'll see Ellen use this and it's
it's a little bit difficult to hear
hear because both she and Kate are
are talking at the same time they're
they're kind of talking over each
each other but Ellen does say that
that you can catch Kate on saturday
saturday night live where you can
can catch her on saturday night live
live or you can catch saturday night
night live at some time whatever on
on saturdays it is i think it's maybe
maybe nine or ten o'clock or something
something like that I
I forget exactly but anyway to catch
catch something at a particular time
time this is what people usually use
use the conversational natural way
way of expressing that you can watch
watch something or you can see something
something at a particular time so
so in the same way that you can catch
catch a train and you can catch a
a taxi something like that you
you can also catch a TV show so you
you can watch her or you can hold
hold her something like that the same
same kind of idea but in a more conversation
conversation way well
