J on let them talk TV we're going to
look at the way that native English
speakers and learners of English use
different phrases in everyday situations
that's right
intermediate learners will use one
phrase but a native English speaker or
an advanced learner might use another
expression and in this video we get
outing what you're shouting I wasn't
shouting would you mind not interrupt me
I'm trying to give a lesson here if you
stop shouting I wasn't shouting yes you
were
who invited you anyway it's a free
country though I want look shut up okay
at least while you're here you could at
least be useful how okay you're going to
say a phrase that an intermediate
learner would use what I'm going to say
a phrase that's a native speaker or an
advanced learner might use okay but you
don't look right what can you change
your clothes you look too British can
you look a bit more European you want me
to look like a generic foreigner
yes okay but this is so stupid
just do it the shouting I'm not shouting
okay so this video is to get you moving
up from intermediate to advanced level
and this will help your speaking and
your understanding to find out more stay
tuned
[Music]
[Applause]
ah you look good feel like an idiot
are you ready okay do I have to say in a
foreign accent
no no just read it in your normal voice
it's very cold today it's a bit nippy
I'm angry with you I'm so pissed off
with you I'm going into the cafe for a
moment to buy matcha latte to take away
I'll be back soon I'm just going to pop
into the cafe to grab a match shower
latte I'll be back in a mo I'm hungry
would you like to get some Indian food
I'm famished
fancy a curry I'm going to read the
Financial Times now for investment
opportunities I'm going to peruse the
Financial Times for investment
opportunities I got confused while
reading the Financial Times I went into
the ladies toilets by mistake I go into
a muddle while perusing the Financial
Times and I went into the ladies toilets
by mistake I'm going to be late because
something unexpected he's preventing me
I've been waylaid so I'll be late I'm
afraid $200,000 for a flight on Virgin
Galactic I'll think about it
$200,000 for a flight on Virgin Galactic
I'm mulling over I had to carry my
double-bass all the way to Paddington
Station I had to lug my double base all
the way to Paddington Station put your
double bass down over there and come and
have a cup of tea prompt your double
bass over there and come and have a cup
of tea
you have intentionally ignored my advice
you have willfully ignored my advice
I don't know who stole your ukulele but
I will try and find out I don't know who
pinched your ukulele but I will endeavor
to find out stop stop stop stop stop
stop stop stop stop stop
wait a minute down there did you get all
that I'm not sure so let's take a breath
and pause the video we need to get a bit
more academic here so while I'm playing
this completely irrelevant time-lapse I
want you to go and get a pen and a piece
of paper so you can take some notes okay
have you done that now we're going to
look at these phrases again in more
detail are you ready now having this
page on the left hand side we've got the
intermediate level expressions now
remember these are perfectly okay to use
native speakers will use them too but
the phrases on the right column are
going to nudge up your level towards
advance so you should learn them too
let's go it's cold the advanced
expression it's nippy now that's rather
British you could say it's chilly that's
a neutral expression now remember this
is only for the weather
don't say the ice cream is nippy no no
it's a bit nippy out you should take a
sweater I'm angry I'm pissed off
that's quite strong if you want a mild
expression you could say I'm peeved I
was a bit peeved that my brilliant idea
was ignored to enter or to go into to
pop in which means to enter a place for
a short amount of time just popping in
to the post office for a second back
soon you could say back in ammo which of
course means back in a moment I'm hungry
you could say I'm famished
I'm starving I'm starving I could eat a
horse
instead of read you could say peruse
which means read in detail I perused the
sports pages of the newspaper to get
confused
you might hear to get into a model or
muddled up
I got muddled up in my rush to finish
the work before the weekend and I got
everything wrong to get distracted you
could say waylaid sometimes use as an
excuse for lateness I've being waylaid
so I won't come tonight to think about
how about using mull over this means
seriously consider especially when you
talk about making important decisions
you are from your job in the factory
mm-hmm I'll Mull it over so just to be
clear you can't always replace think
about with mull over I'm mulling over my
girlfriend no no no that's wrong I'm
thinking about my girlfriend mulling
over is about considering decisions I'm
mulling over whether I should propose to
my girlfriend that's okay
to carry here you could say to lug or to
drag both imply carrying something heavy
or something with great difficulty I
lugged my big suitcase to the airport to
put down you could replace that with to
plunk something down which implies you
do it with little attention i plumb my
books in a pile on the kitchen table
intentionally now there are several
synonyms on purpose deliberately and
willfully willfully has a more negative
meaning the accused willfully destroyed
the evidence still that's correct of
course but a native speaker might use
another word such as pinch
who pinch my trousers try that's good
that's correct but a good advanced
alternative is endeavour which means to
try hard to achieve a goal so for
example I will endeavour to be the best
striker this team has ever had and ever
can also be a noun so let's have a look
at an example of that
it is my endeavor to make videos that
you enjoy instead of I'm going try I'm
off or I'm out of here I'm going now I'm
out of here
so there you are so now go out and start
using these advanced phrases okay but
tip Cheers
I'm off
