well hello and welcome to a brand
brand new phrase builder and pronunciation
pronunciation practice lesson I'm
I'm so excited this month really I'm
I'm really so excited I i know i say
say i'm excited every month but this
this month in particular I'm incredibly
incredibly excited because I'm getting
getting to show you something really
really important about learning English
English which i'll explain in just
just a moment this
this month in the master class video
video lesson I have a special treat
treat for you where
where we have not two not three but
but four native English speakers Canadians
Canadians Americans Australians all
all sitting around talking and you'll
you'll get to hear lots of different
different phrases and the pronunciation
pronunciation you also get to practice
practice that as well but the most
most important thing about that lesson
lesson is that the grammar is simple
simple but there are some kind of
of phrases that come out which I'll
I'll explain right now these special
special phrases that come out and
and it really shows you how you can
can sound like a native speaker as
as long as you understand pretty
pretty simple grammar but use more
more kind of complicated phrases so
so I'll get into those right now these
these are called English fluency bits
bits
bits there
there are many different pieces of
of a language and it could be for
for English or any other language
language but basically you've got
got things like grammar which is the
the rules of the language and then
then you've got pronunciation or you've
you've got specific phrases like proverbs
proverbs or expressions but then there's
there's a different group that i like
like to call English fluency bits
bits and if you can use them you will
will sound much more native because
because it's a whole phrase and you
you blending it together and you can
can use simple grammar but put the
the English fluency bit phrase in
in the sentence and you'll really
really sound like a very confident
confident educated and intelligent
intelligent native speaker one
one example of an English fluency
fluency bit is be that is
is it me be that as it may be that
that as it may it just means even
even if that's how something is then
then we still have to do something
something else so
so as an example ah the weather is
is kind of a kind of crappy today
today
today a
a friend of yours might say and you
you can say well be that as it may
may
may we're
we're still going running today be
be that as it may were still going
going running today so i can say even
even though it's raining or even though
though the weather is crappy we
we can still go running today this
this is a basic way of using just
just the grammar but if you use the
the English fluency bit be
be that as it may you sound much more
more intelligent ah
ah be that as it may be that as it
it may
it may if
if you're a total fluency program
program member for master English
English conversation you can go into
into your account and you can look
look at the bonus videos that you
you have and you will see a collection
collection of bonus videos that'll
that'll that'll kind of go over lots
lots of different English fluency
fluency bits that you can practice
practice anyway this idea of simple
simple grammar with English fluency
fluency bits is very powerful and
and it's a very quick way of getting
getting fluent so
so in today's lesson I want to go
go over a whole bunch of English fluency
fluency bits and then you will prepare
prepare yourself for when you get
get to see them and hear them in the
the master class video lesson let's
let's get started many English fluency
fluency bits can be used in regular
regular everyday conversations but
but a lot of the ones that you're
you're learning in this video that
that you'll see in the master class
class video lesson can be used at
at the office and any other professional
professional capacity so
so if you're a lawyer or a doctor
doctor or anything else where you
you want to sound more intelligent
intelligent these
these are phrases again we'll we'll
we'll go over lots of them today but
but these are phrases that you can
can use that will really make you
you sound morning get
get this next one listen carefully
carefully this is something that I
I love to use and i used a lot in
in college I think you can make the
the case that listen
listen carefully you can make the
the case that you can make the argument
argument that you can make the case
case that you can say that I'm happy
happy you can make the case that I'm
I'm happy you can make the argument
argument that i am happy remember
remember that English fluency bits
bits they're really just taking simple
simple ideas and kind of making them
them into bigger more complicated
complicated sounding things so that
that you sound more intelligent you
you can usually express the same idea
idea
idea he
he looks happy where he looks happy
happy
happy or
or I can make the case that he looks
looks happy where I can give a reason
reason or an argument make the case
case that make the argument that in
in the grammar focus lesson you practice
practice turning words like when why
why and where into slightly more complicated
complicated academic phrases like
like for which and a twitch so
so we use the same thing for how you
you can take a short word like how
how and change it to in
in what way so if I'm talking with
with my son or my daughter or some
some young child again you
you remember that the the way that
that you use the language depends
depends on the people you are speaking
speaking with so
so if i'm speaking with my my son
son and I have a small child and I
I can just ask how because
because the child understands that
that but if I'm at an office someone
someone is asking me and instead of
of using how i can say in what way
way in what way in what way in what
what way should I make this report
report
report in
in what way should I make this report
report the next English fluency bit
bit is one of my favorite as opposed
opposed to as a pole used
used to as opposed to running I
I prefer swimming a regular basic
basic english sentence might be I
I like running more than swimming
swimming or I prefer running to swimming
swimming again there are lots of different
different ways to say things if you
you only understand basic grammar
grammar
grammar that's
that's just fine and you don't know
know long complex phrases that you
you can add that's also fine but if
if you can understand basic to intermediate
intermediate grammar and you can use
use these longer phrases you will
will sound much more native so as
as opposed to becomes a really great
great way of saying not this but that
that but it's a little bit more polite
polite as opposed to having the meeting
meeting today why
why don't we have it next week now
now listen carefully to the way the
the sounds blend together as opposed
opposed to the D sound gets dropped
dropped as opposed to this week how
how about next week as opposed to
to this week how
how about next week the next phrase
phrase and this brings back so many
many memories from college because
because I studied philosophy and we
we get to talk amongst ourselves all
all of the students and we all want
want to sound more intelligent so
so everyone uses these really big
big phrases and long expressions and
and this one is make a distinction
distinction between make a distinction
distinction between I don't really
really make a distinction between
between two hours and other small
small dogs I
I don't really see a difference or
or I don't make a difference it
it doesn't matter to me I don't make
make a distinction to make a distinction
distinction means you take something
something and you've cut it into two
two different parts so
so you make a distinction this is
is one thing and this is another so
so I'm not making a distinction between
between good and bad I'm
I'm saying both of them are okay or
or there's a gray area your
your next English fluency bit is in
in terms up in terms up in terms of
of is just a fancier longer way of
of saying about or concerning in terms
terms of the company I
I think it could be doing better about
about the company I
I think it could be better about the
the company or about my relationship
relationship with that manager I
I think it could be better so we just
just say in terms of so it makes you
you sound much more intelligent and
and it's a lot more fun to say in
in terms of listen carefully to how
how the sounds blend together in terms
terms of in terms of the up the last
last s becomes more of a Z sound and
and it blends together the next English
English fluency bit is when it comes
comes to things like this ah
ah i love this one be sure to remember
remember this one this is one of my
my favorites I
I know there are so many of my favorites
favorites in one video it's
it's amazing when it comes to things
things like this or when it comes
comes to stuff like this and you can
can use whatever the thing is in the
the sentence when it comes to soccer
soccer
soccer I'm
I'm not very good all this means is
is about or concerning it's the same
same thing as in terms of its really
really just the same idea so
so when you're thinking about building
building your writing especially because
because you can take more time to
to think about soccer i'm not very
very good in terms of soccer i'm not
not very good who
who even better or longer still when
when it comes to soccer I'm not very
very good
very good the
the next English fluency bit is then
then again then
then again i was thinking about going
going to the park today but it's kind
kind of looking cloudy then again
again I'm getting kind of being so
so maybe I should go out and run then
then again just means thinking about
about something again or you're changing
changing your opinion about something
something
something the
the next English fluency bit is be
be synonymous with I really love this
this expression anonymous
anonymous it's got such a such a cool
cool sound to it synonym
synonym or same it just means the
the same thing so
so if something is synonymous with
with something else it
it means like it holds that idea like
like minivans are synonymous with
with with family life and putting
putting kids and taking kids to a
a soccer game so
so it's synonymous the last English
English fluency bit that you'll see
see in the conversation is what happened
happened to or whatever happened to
to if you're thinking about an old
old friend or an old TV show or maybe
maybe a co-worker that used to work
work at your company or somebody else
else you know you can ask people hey
hey what happened to such and such
such or so and so or even a TV show
show
show maybe
maybe i will be talking with my friends
friends about some TV show we used
used to watch when we were kids and
and i can say hey whatever happened
happened to that actor from that TV
TV show
TV show whatever
whatever happened to the guy who played
played so and so in that movie what
what happened to him or what ever
ever happened to him practice
practice all of these phrases when
when you're at work and just every
every day try to pick one and you
you can listen for the particular
particular phrases that other people
people use for an example maybe you
you can if you go back I won't tell
tell you them but if you go back and
and watch previous master English
English conversation less hands
hands where you watch movies where
where you watch any TV show you'll
you'll notice that I have kind of
of the same speaking pattern and i'll
i'll use a lot of the same kinds of
of phrases when I'm explaining things
things
things these
these are called my signature phrases
phrases
phrases lots
lots of people have them like Arnold
Arnold Schwarzenegger when he said
said I'll be back that's
that's his signature phrase a phrase
phrase that he uses very frequently
frequently so I want you to create
create some signature phrases from
from these from these English fluency
fluency bits that you're practicing
practicing today and then every day
day
day try
try to use just one or two or three
three
three however
however many is comfortable for you
you but just try to use them in your
your conversation whatever
whatever happened to such as such
such you can begin a conversation
conversation like that you can say
say in terms of this what do you think
think about that in terms of running
running the company what
what do you think about remote workers
workers there are lots of different
different ways you can be key in conversation
conversation with these English fluency
fluency bits or you can in the kind
kind of introduce them in the middle
middle of a sentence or in a conversation
conversation and you can continue
continue having more intelligent conversations
conversations at work so
so think about all these things go
go out and practice these especially
especially if you're working or if
if you're in an academic environment
environment like a school or another
another professional capacity like
like you're a doctor or a lawyer so
