hey 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 another
another advanced listening practice
practice lesson at the beginning of
of these i always like to say if you
you are new to my channel or this
this video series please go back and
and watch the previous videos in other
other series like our slang videos
videos or introduction to grammars
grammars or beginning grammar series
series
series anything
anything that will have me speaking
speaking much more slowly so outside
outside of this series and that way
way you will get day I guess the chance
chance to hear what i sound like at
at a slower pace kind of like calm
calm speaking now but a little bit
bit slower than that so
so you can get used to the sound of
of my voice in that way when you come
come and watch this series you can
can get used to the sound of my voice
voice and be able to actually hear
hear and understand a lot of the words
words and complicated expressions
expressions I'm saying so
so i will be speaking at a fast so
so normal or faster than native speed
speed in this series and if you're
you're ready let's begin well
well actually got a an interesting
interesting mail from a learner maybe
maybe that was yesterday or two days
days ago and she was describing i
i guess it was a she didn't say whether
whether it was a she or not but I'm
I'm guessing she was based on the
the mail but she said she had gone
gone to a store and was asking a clerk
clerk about like actually getting
getting a bra fit to have it like
like fit properly so looking for a
a sports bra and trying to figure
figure out like some way to explain
explain to the clerk at the store
store like hey how can i find a bra
bra that doesn't like make my breasts
breasts move too much now
now of course I was like oh that's
that's an interesting topic to write
write about and so I was like okay
okay why don't I just make a video
video about this not because you know
know i don't like breasts or something
something I mean I do well
well I mean area yeah you got me so
so I guess I do but anyway the important
important thing is that in the conversation
conversation or in the mail that she
she was sending she was talking about
about how can i express the fact that
that like I don't want to like say
say that my breasts are jumping out
out of the bra i want to say that
that they're like kind of moving or
or something like that so
so she was using the word jump when
when talking to the clerk about saying
saying she didn't want her breasts
breasts to move when she's doing exercises
exercises that kind of thing but the
the clerk was talking about oh you
you don't want them too bad thanks
thanks so the difference there was
was like do you want them to jump
jump like move around a lot or do
do you want them to bounce and so
so she was talking about kind of a
a problem that advanced learners have
have been so that's what i want to
to address in this video where you're
you're talking about the kind of nuances
nuances of a language and the nuances
nuances are things that like maybe
maybe there's a slight difference
difference in meaning between you
you know one thing in one culture
culture versus one thing and another
another
another or
or you could even be talking about
about the slight differences between
between two verbs like bounce and
and jump now bounce when you think
think about balancing is like something
something kind of goes down it comes
comes back up again like it best look
look my own like a basketball so basketball
basketball falls down and comes back
back up this is to bounce but jump
jump is like you're at a particular
particular standing . and then you
you move up into the air something
something like that so I mean a breast
breast you know if it's in a bra or
or whatever you're jumping around
around it would like kind of move
move around something like that so
so this is more of a bouncing motion
motion than a jumping motion because
because the breast doesn't just like
like look like junk I
I hope not i've never seen that before
before but they do bounce especially
especially if you're moving around
around doing exercises things like
like that
like that anyway
anyway this touches on and this is
is a really great conversation expression
expression to touch on something means
means to be connected with so it's
it's touching on the idea of how do
do we know which were to use in a
a particular situation when like maybe
maybe a slightly different word that
that has a related meeting might be
be a better one to use and
and honestly in the reply that I wrote
wrote to her and when i'm going to
to explain now is that you really
really can't know that unless you
you kind of go deeper into the things
things you want to learn more about
about and so it's just one of those
those things that just like a native
native English speaker if you don't
don't know the language you can kind
kind of talk around what you want
want to say not being able to express
express it exactly using the right
right word so
so you don't have to feel bad about
about this as a non-native speaker
speaker learning the language because
because again native English speakers
speakers don't always know the correct
correct word for a particular situation
situation
situation now
now there are more kind of physical
physical things that i recommend people
people study so especially phrasal
phrasal verbs and i happen to have
have a pen in my hand right now so
so i can just give a quick example
example
example now
now I believe phrasal verbs are so
so important to teach not only because
because they're such a an important
important part of the conversational
conversational language so you might
might not use them as much when you're
you're writing even though they do
do appear a lot but we definitely
definitely use a lot of phrasal verbs
verbs when we speak so phrasal verb
verb would be like come over to someone's
someone's house or to drop by someone's
someone's house and this just means
means to visit but in a more casual
casual in conversational wait so if
if you want to learn phrasal verbs
verbs then that's like something that
that number one is going to be much
much more helpful for conversational
conversational expressions but also
also how you learn phrasal verbs and
and kind of seeing them visually is
is a really great way to learn them
them but this also demonstrates the
the slight differences between different
different words were different verbs
verbs
verbs so
so even though you might not know
know maybe something like politics
politics where you're talking about
about like you know a particular party
party or you get into complicated
complicated language like that like
like you might not know that information
information but you would probably
probably have a good idea if you study
study physical things like physical
physical motions and phrasal verbs
verbs because those come up in many
many different situations like when
when you're talking about politics
politics or business or sports all
all of these physical things you can
can study
can study so
so this kind of limits the number
number of things you have to learn
learn in order to have better conversations
conversations because the physical
physical kind of like whether of emotion
emotion is happening slightly
slightly or in a big way something
something like that that has a much
much bigger important source it's
it's much more commonly appearing
appearing in conversations in particular
particular technical language that
that you might find in like a science
science lecture or a government speech
speech or something like that so
so with my pen here with just got
got the example of falling down Vs
Vs falling over now
now i can use a pin like this and
and I always teach phrasal verbs in
in a visual way just like I do in
in my visual guide - phrasal verbs
verbs because it's such an important
important way to see the differences
differences between phrasal verbs
verbs without someone trying to explain
explain what the difference is it
it that what the differences are I
I can't speak today anyway so if i
i look at a pen and it's falling down
down i'm just going to like have it
it drop like this ok
ok so i've caught it in this hand
hand and it's falling down so
so when you fall down fall means you're
you're moving at the speed at this
this speed or the rate of gravity
gravity so that something is moving
moving very quickly and it's going
going straight down but to contrast
contrast this with fall over this
this is like if I have a tree here
here
here and
and it's falling like this so fall
fall down and fall over now
now i'm demonstrating this just because
because I want to make it very clear
clear that when you're using something
something like this not only should
should you be learning visually but
but really the visual things again
again i just want to make this point
point really clear are the things
things that you should be learning
learning and using much more in conversations
conversations because you can see
see the kind of subtle differences
differences between way the way like
like one thing moves when you're learning
learning it that way so
so you might learn the difference
difference between jump or bounce
bounce or you know bound or something
something else like that so maybe
maybe have like a small hop or a larger
larger jump or other things like that
that but you're really not going to
to get a good sense for these things
things unless you practice them but
but you really don't understand that
that very well unless you see them
them visually so the two key points
points i want you to kind of take
take away from this video are instead
instead of worrying about the technical
technical language you want to kind
kind of develop an advanced understanding
understanding of more verb use and
and kind of basic things but in a
a wider wider wait so you want to
to be learning more things and be
be studying the synonyms and antonyms
antonyms of words and a synonym is
is a related word for something so
so bound and jump are two related
related words and sometimes they have
have the same meaning sometimes they
they don't like a bound maybe you
you could like pop a little bit and
and jump maybe you could hop a little
little bit now
now you don't have to be too particular
particular about these kinds of things
things often you'll get much more
more colorful language where you're
you're using instead of a word like
like jump you'll have a word like
like bound or you know some or the
the other thing like leap like a leap
leap is like a really big jump and
and you'll see this in more literature
literature so
so if you read more maybe fiction
fiction work so books novels that
that kind of thing where they're going
going to give you stories and use
use much more colorful language to
to try to describe something in greater
greater detail now
now the kind of stuff i teach like
like I do teach these things but it's
it's trying to be a bit more explicit
explicit about specific vocabulary
vocabulary that you should be learning
learning and I don't want to go like
like too deep into specific things
things like kind of what i do in normal
normal videos like this just because
because i want to give you a more
more general principles to learn and
and then use those or have you use
use those in order to get full so
so the general principle for this
this video is that you should be trying
trying to focus on learning a wide
wide array of a wide array so an array
array ARRA why array of something
something just means like a wide area
area
area so
so a wide area of verbs and kind of
of basic nouns where you're just describing
describing different things in different
different ways so
so I want you to go deeper that's
that's the takeaway so this is another
another phrasal verb a take away or
or I guess the phrasal now in this
this situation so
so the takeaway from this the thing
thing that I really like you to remember
remember is if you want to have a
a more advanced vocabulary it's not
not about knowing like lots and lots
lots more information it's
it's about going deeper with the few
few things that you do find in conversations
conversations and this includes like
like more basic nouns as well as basic
basic verbs i would even say verbs
verbs are much more important for
for this just because they give you
you a much wider range of describing
describing physical activity and the
the physical things we do every day
day which are really you know requiring
requiring you to have a whole bunch
bunch of technical knowledge in many
many different areas so
so learn a little bit about many different
different subjects whatever those
those things happen to be maybe you
you know like more about science then
then computers or you know whatever
whatever you happen to be interested
interested in but
but if you can also learn a lot more
more about the you know the physical
physical things like you would look
look for a word like jump online and
and then you would check like you
you know I happen to use a my online
online dictionary is merriam webster
webster com so
so em - w.com and you can go there
there and look up not only listen
listen to the sounds of words now
now if you want to hear how they sound
sound but you can also check like
like the synonyms and antonyms of
of words
of words so
so a word it's like the same as that
that word or similar or the words
words that are opposite to that thing
thing as well so maybe like jump might
might not have an opposite word but
but it will have some synonyms where
where they give you like hop and leap
leap and jump and then you can start
start searching through those and
and then i recommend like just trying
trying to put like a single word like
like jump or swim or leap or something
something like that just
just go right here on youtube and
and search for one of those particular
particular words and it will probably
probably come up with a video where
where you'll get to see you know examples
examples of people doing that thing
thing you get to see what it looks
looks like in your kind of maybe one
one day you just spend your time looking
looking at things like climbing so
so you just take one verb and just
just try to go deeper into that verb
verb or you take another one that's
that's like punch and then you're
you're learning about boxing and there's
there's all kinds of different punches
punches you can do like a jab or a
a right hook or an uppercut that kind
kind of thing but you don't learn
learn these things and you can't use
use them in conversations unless you
you actually take the time to experience
experience them for yourself anyway
anyway I don't want to give you too
too much but that's my my tip for
for you for today in this advanced
advanced listening practice lesson
lesson
lesson if
if you enjoyed this video do give
give it a like or give it like eight
eight likes if you can I don't know
know how that's possible to do but
but like you know click on it a bunch
bunch of times something like that
that it maybe you two will say hey
hey like let's get this guy like more
more likes and do share this video
video with some other people if you
you have also found it enjoyable and
and become a subscriber if you're
you're not already subscribe if you
you have any questions or if you can
can think about some other things
things my kind of quick assignment
assignment for you right now would
would be to go in the comments section
section and just find like one verb
verb go online go to merriam-webster
merriam-webster type in one verb like
like climb or jump or swim or you
you know whatever it could be even
even something more complicated like
like did deuce to deduce d educ e
e to do something means to think about
about something I won't even give
give you what the definition is I
I want you to go look it up but a
a pic of urban and look at some of
of the synonyms for that word in the
the antonyms as well so the words
words that are similar in the words
words that are different and put some
some of those in the comments just
just to get you started and looking
looking at some of the wide array
array of different words and expressions
expressions you can use when you're
you're describing different things
things
things well
well that's it for this video I hope
