Welcome back to JForrest English. I'm Jennifer, and today I'm going to test your listening
skills to see how well you can understand fast English and how well you can understand advanced
expressions that native speakers use. Are you ready? Let's get started. Here is how this
lesson will work. I'll say a sentence three times and you need to write down exactly what you hear.
After, I'll explain the pronunciation changes that I used in spoken English,
and I'll explain what the expression means. Are you ready for your first listening exercise?
Get out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here.
Did you get this one? I said get out of here. Let's talk about a common reduction out of.
Out of side by side you can pronounce as outta, outta, get outta here,
get outta here. And if you don't feel comfortable using that in your speech,
that's fine. But you should understand it because native speakers use it the majority of the time
in spoken English. Outta Get outta Here, Get outta here. And maybe you understood the words.
But did you understand the expression? This might be a trick question because there are
actually two totally different meanings for this expression. There's the more literal meaning where
I want you to leave the room that I'm currently in. Being here. Get out means leave, leave.
Of here of the room I'm currently in. So I'm recording this video and my annoying little
sister barges in and starts talking. Get out of here. That's what I would say. Now most
likely you're going to say it with a little bit of anger or annoyance. Get out of here.
And it's not a very polite expression. So if you politely want to ask someone to leave,
don't say get out of here, you should say Would you mind leaving? Could you please leave? Because
I need to film a video. Get out of here is also used as an expression to show shock or surprise.
At what someone said. So let's say my friend just told me she's going to move
from Chicago to Australia around the world and she has lived in Chicago her entire
life. To show my surprise or even shock, I could say get out of here, get out of here.
It's almost like saying really, wow, I can't believe it.
Get out of here. Get out of here. Now with this expression,
it will be lighter. There won't be that anger or annoyance in it. Get out of here. There'll
be more surprise in it. Get out of here. So the meaning will depend on the overall
context of the situation. And also look for the tone of voice, because that can be very helpful
to decide our next listening exercise. I'll say it three times. Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Give me a break. Did you get this one? Give me a break. Pretty easy, right? Did you hear that
reduction? Give me. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Again. You might not feel comfortable using reductions
in your speech, but you should understand them because native speakers use the most of the time.
Give me. Give me a break. What does this mean? This is another expression. We use
this to express disbelief in what someone says.
Let's say I am watching TV late at night and I see an advertisement for a pill.
That is supposed to help me lose 20 pounds overnight. That's what the ad says. If I want
to show my distrust or disbelief with this ad, I can say give me a break, give me a break. There's
no way that's true. Give me a break. So that's a fun expression you can use and remember that tone.
You'll want to add some sarcasm into this. Oh, give me a break. Do you want to keep improving
your listening skills of fast English? Well then I want to tell you about the Finally Fluent
Academy. This is my premium training program where we study native English speakers on TV,
movies, YouTube, and the news so you can improve your listening skills,
learn common expressions, and learn advanced grammar as well. Plus you will have me as your.
Personal coach. You can look in the description For more information on how to join. Are you ready
for another listening exercise? I'll say it three times. My sister will know. My sister will know.
My sister will know. I said. My sister will know. Did you hear the verb? Will my sister will know?
Probably didn't hear it, but maybe based on the grammar, you understood that it has to
be there. Because my sister No, doesn't make any sense. Something's missing. My sister will know.
You probably know that we form a subject will contractions. I will go. I'll go.
You'll go, he'll go. She'll go, it'll go, will go, they'll go. Those are
subject pronoun contractions, and they are grammatically correct. Learning contractions
is another must when you want to understand native speakers, In this case a noun phrase. My sister.
Isn't contracted grammatically, but in spoken English we combine them together anyway,
even though grammatically this isn't done simply to be able to speak faster and confuse
students. But remember, grammatically we only contract subject pronouns with will,
so in your writing, make sure you don't write my sister.
Will as a contraction. But in spoken English you'll hear it. Another listening exercise.
I'll say it three times. You ought to call her. You ought to call her. You ought to call her.
Did you get this one? You ought to call her. So here ought to a very common reduction. Oughtta.
Otta ought to is a modal verb used to express necessity. More commonly you should call her, but
you can also use ought to You ought to call her in spoken English. Native speakers will say otta
the majority of the time. Now did you hear call her? Maybe to you it sounded like one word caller.
Collar like a dog collar. That's because we drop the H sound on her
and it sounds like ur ur but we also combine it with the previous word call
ur and then we combine them. Collar. Collar. Again. Based on context, you'll understand.
That I'm not saying collar like a dog collar. And I'm in fact saying call
her. You ought to collar. How about one more listening exercise? I'll say it three times.
I had an inkling sheet Bale. I had an inkling sheet Bale.
I had an inkling sheet Bale. Oh, did you get this one? I had an inkling sheet Bale.
She'd bail she would as a contraction. This is a grammatically correct contraction. She'd bail.
I had had can also be in a contraction with a subject pronoun when it's the
auxiliary verb. So if I turn this into the past perfect, I had gone.
I can say I'd gone because then had is the auxiliary verb. I'd gone, I'd gone. But here,
because it's the main verb, we don't turn it into a contraction. I had an inkling she'd bail.
What does it mean she'd bail? Bail. Well, when someone bails,
this is an expression that's used when someone doesn't.
Do what they said they were going to do, and we specifically use this with plans and arrangements.
So let's say I made a plan with my friend to watch a movie on Saturday at 7:00 o'clock, then Saturday
7:00 o'clock. No friend. She bailed. She bailed on me. I can't believe she bailed on me again.
She didn't do what she said she was going to do. And again, we use this frequently with plans and
arrangements. Now what an inkling. An inkling. I had an inkling sheet bail. An inkling is a slight
indication, a slight hint, a slight suggestion. So something my friend said made me think.
She was going to bail. Maybe she didn't sound that excited about seeing the movie.
Maybe she's been talking about how tired she is. So that's an inkling. An inkling. That's
fun to say. An inkling. I had an inkling she'd bail. So how did you do with these listening
