enjoyable
will starts his song off with a
variation of the expression on your mark
get set go this is what athletes such as
runners are told before competing in a
race wheel here uses it to just mean get
ready
why are you ignoring me all right on
your mark
look I didn't mean to weird you out
yesterday stop it I'm not falling for
these little mind games that's it it's
not a game it's how I feel I said enough
Sanjay Sanjay he must know something we
don't
stop running to the trap then he says
dancefloor Pro the dance floor is the
area generally of a club or discotheque
that's dedicated to dancing
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
dance sores on my face oh oh I can't
now a dancefloor pro is how will is
referring to a person who can dance very
well which of these would be another way
to say pro as you'll see the main theme
of this song is dancing in fact the name
of this song is get jiggy with it to get
jiggy is hip-hop slang that means to
start dancing to go psycho it means to
go crazy
which figuratively means to become very
enthusiastic about something in this
line joint means song a very uncommon
slang and hit means play we often would
say hit it meaning start playing the
music so he's saying that when his new
song is played he can't sit which means
he can't help to start dancing we often
use the collocation can't sit still
meaning we need to move example my
little brother can't sit still he needs
constant entertainment from his Prince
of Bellaire days to his recent Aladdin
movies you probably know Will Smith
never misses the chance to bust some
moves when the opportunity presents
itself
stuff in agility your friend
honey is a term of endearment similar to
baby usually used for a romantic partner
here he is simply asking a girl to dance
with him come ride DK and why is a
fashion brand Prada is an even more
famous luxury fashion firm known for its
shoes and bags
the thing with Prada Bags is that they
are enormous plus he says to the girl
that she has a lot of stuff in it why
does he say that
well carrying a big Prada bag is not
practical when you want to get jiggy or
start dancing so he says give it to your
friend let's spin here let's spin is
another way to say let's start dancing
[Music]
Glantz is one of the many verbs that
mean to see or look but that have a
different nuance or connotation so to
glance or to take a glance at something
is to look at something quickly okay
look I know you're giving a speech on
your own but I wrote up a few talking
points for you to take a look at hope
you don't mind
Dunc glanced at it in the lyrics of this
song however glance is used with the
sense of just looking at someone
continuously maybe because he is
attractive or skilled so which of these
verbs is not similar to glance this is a
cigar the most widely recognized cigars
come from Cuba he's saying that he likes
to just put the cigars in his mouth but
not actually smoke it he does it for the
look you can see here that Joey also
thinks that a cigar in his mouth makes
him look cool an interesting thing to
note here is that Will Smith has always
tried to be a positive role model he
doesn't talk about violence he doesn't
curse and he doesn't talk about drugs or
other and healthy things this shows in
this line because he doesn't want to
condone smoking that's why he says he
doesn't light the cigar never hurt any
of these words before
well that's because this is pig latin a
way to transform words so others can't
understand you translated Avery's will

to continue to improve your
pronunciation and comprehension natives

foreplay is the sexual activities such
as kissing and touching the people might
do before they have sex depending on how
it is done dancing can be considered
foreplay then he says his cardio is
infinite he's referring to his stamina
stamina is your ability to perform a
physical cardiovascular activity like
running dancing swimming etc for a long
time without getting tired we have two
pronunciation tips in this lesson with
will and Ellen first do you know how to
pronounce these words did you pronounce
them like wil and Alan do here
you're a very energetic and adventurous
yes person energetic and adventurous yes
and that's a dangerous combination yeah
words with this ending can be tricky to
pronounce for some learners however it's
not so hard if you take just a moment to
focus on the vowel sounds at play here
to learn understand and then with
practice master the sound combination
what's important to know is that these
are just two schwa sounds schwa sound
sound like this ah ah repeat after me
adventurous adventurous dangerous
dangerous
let's see other examples of words with
this ending this is preposterous it's
not exactly glamorous up there that's
that's very generous how do you
pronounce these numbers let's see how
will says this number part of what I've
been doing in my 50th year can you
recognize the individual sounds you said
for my 50th birthday you jump out of a
plane for me all these numbers that end
in zero from 20 to 90 and in an ye sound
the th on the other hand is pronounced
however between these two sounds we add
an S sound and so we say 30th for year
50th etc the traditional 20th gift is
China
also my parents 40th anniversary is
coming up and I can't think of a thing
to get them your wedding day your
honeymoon your 50th anniversary no you
know when I was younger I thought that I
wanted to do that it was kind of a dream
of mine and as I got older and wiser I
decided I don't want to do this should
do it together no no we would break the
internet we did it I'm sure we wouldn't
I don't need to do that I've done it on
the Oscars and I don't need to break it
again all of its correct no no I think
that I and I am I'm scared of heights
yeah and I like to I think the feeling
would be amazing but I can't imagine
like on the edge yes terrible right
before no no no your destiny that's the
bad part that's that part right but then
once you're out it's like it's such a
lesson in life right and part of what
I've been doing in my 50th year I've
been trying to experience all the things
that I never let myself experience
before and I'm doing you know my my
bucket list experiences and sort of what
I discovered is how how cancerous ear
can be in experience in a life if you're
like you can't be happy if you're scared
you know so I'm really confronting all
the things that I've ever been scared of
and I'm just finding this really
exuberant freedom and life you know when
you want to ask someone about an
experience they have had you should use
the present perfect
a common mistake some lower intermediate
and intermediate learners usually make
is to use this simple pass for questions
like these for example when meaning to
ask have you ever watched that movie
they might say did you watch that movie
5 years 10 a long time in a boat before
yeah
do you fringe the time you got stuck on
a small world ride at Disneyland as you
never been to the Caribbean I went there
three years ago for spring break and got
stung by a jellyfish my friend had to
pee on my leg chill love oh no and you
have I decided I don't want to do this
should do it together no no we would
break the Internet we did it I'm sure we
wouldn't I don't need to do that I've
done it on the Oscars and I'm how's your
knowledge of the conditional tenses can
you identify which type of conditional
sentence this is this is the second
conditional and we use it to talk about
a hypothetical imaginary situation and
its consequences the hypothetical
situation here is will and Ellen jumping
together the consequence the internet
getting broken also notice that you can
invert the format of the sentence will
says we would break the internet if we
did it together but you can also say if
we did together we would break the
internet by the way we say to break the
internet when a person usually a
celebrity does something that receives
an immense amount of attention in other
words it goes viral in 2014 Ellen broke
the internet when she shared a selfie
she took at the Oscars with other
celebrities we also saw Jennifer Aniston
recently break the internet when she
posted a picture of a reunion with the
other cast members of friends to form
the second conditional we use if plus a
simple past then in the other half of
the sentence we use would plus an
infinitive verb let's take a look at
some other examples of the second
conditional if I was a superhero who
could fly and be invisible that would be
the best
if I had one wish would be to build a
time machine go back to when I was seven
when Jimmy Hauser had the chickenpox I
would grab that kid and rub him all over
my face instead of wood you can also use
should or could if you wanted to punish
them you should have just made them hang
out here if you want to learn more about
the conditional sentences you should
definitely check out this lesson that
teaches you all about them now if
something is not all that it's cracked
up to be
it's not everything that you hoped based
on what other people have said about it
example everyone loves that new ice
cream place but it's really not all it's
cracked up to be
to be honest darling having children is
born it's cracked up to be
given my chance again I'm not sure I'd
happening another way we would express a
similar idea is saying it doesn't live
up to its reputation it doesn't live up
to expectations or to the hype you can't
force your kids to live up to your
unreal expectations they're not perfect
you love them anyway also applies to
adults probably more solvent hey if you
enjoyed this lesson well there's more
that came from you can check out all of
our lessons featuring Will Smith in this
playlist after you finish this video and
I like to I think the feeling would be
amazing but I can't imagine like on the
edge after right before no no no your
best yeah that's the bad part that's the
bad part right the edge is the outside
limit of an object area or surface here
they're talking about the edge of the
plane which is where they stand right
before jumping I've been trying to
experience all the things that I never
let myself experience before and I'm
doing you know my my bucket list
hey experiences a bucket list is a
number of experiences or achievements
that a person hopes to have or
accomplish during their lifetime for
example traveling to a specific place
could be on your bucket list maybe
learning English is something on your
bucket list which you can cross off
meaning you've already achieved it
example learning to play the guitar has
always been on his bucket list he's
finally doing it
five years ago I made a bucket list it
was time to start crossing things off so
I'm really confronting all the things
that I've ever been scared of and I'm
just finding this really exuberant
freedom in life you know this is an
adjective meaning extreme happiness and
enthusiasm
it also means abundance plentiful so
when will says exuberant freedom he said
he felt a deep feeling of freedom
[Applause]
with a lotta stuff in it give it to your
friend
my jig with this
Just My Luck I don't
we make it tonight
it
[Music]
have you ever jumped no you know when I
was younger I thought that I wanted to
do that it was kind of a dream of mine
and as I got older and wiser I decided I
don't want to do this should do it
together we would break the internet we
did it I'm sure we wouldn't I don't need
to do that I've done it on the Oscars
and I'm don't need to break it again was
it always correct no no I I think that I
am I'm scared of heights
yeah and I like to I think the feeling
would be amazing and I can't imagine
like on the edge yeah that's terrible
right before no no no your destiny
that's the bad part that's that part
right but then once you're out it's like
it's such a lesson in life right and
part of what I've been doing in my 50th
year I've been trying to experience all
the things that I never let myself
experience before and I'm doing you know
my my bucket list experiences and sort
of what I discovered is how how
cancerous ear can be in experience in a
life if you're like you can't be happy
if you're scared you know so I'm really
confronting all the things that I've
ever been scared of and I'm just finding
this really exuberant freedom in life
all right you're killing it don't stop
the next step would be to watch another
lesson that I never gonna love with Will
Smith in this player and now it's time
to go beyond the classroom and live your
English oh yeah
