oh answer my costs uh he was kidding me
what's up brother what up with it yo
hey combo good to see you welcome to my
humble abode
good deal mover good deal
yo bash hey have a cool man
hey everyone today we're learning
vocabulary around the house
or home with the help of our favorite tv
series of course
now you could say that the word house is
an umbrella term
meaning it's a term used to describe a
broad category of things
this is because there are many different
types of houses
of course there are apartments in the
u.s and
flats in the uk then a cottage
a small house in the country a hut as
you see in the picture
is a small simple building with only one
or two rooms
a bungalow is a common type of house in
the u.s
and in parts of the uk which you could
describe as a small house that
is on only one level
most people though if not in apartments
live in your normal run-of-the-mill
house
if you're with your friends and want to
be informal you might say crib in
american english
joey look at this crab that's so cute i
know i found it on the street
are you sure oops sorry wrong clip
that's literally
a crib a bed for a baby check out this
example
oh it's from my car sir he was kidding
people what's up brother what up with it
yo
hey combo good to see you welcome to my
humble abode
good deal mover good deal
yo bass hey oh cool crib man
hey it echoes hello did you notice how
jesse referred to his house as
a boat i know what you're thinking this
is a strange word but it's a synonym of
house like jessie we would say it in a
humorous tone
welcome to my humble abode
oh hey mark welcome to my humble abode
well
thank you oh this is way cleaner than
the last time i was here
you've been here another funny thing
jesse said in that clip is
casa which is spanish for house huh
so what do you think casa de joey
huh i decorated it myself
something else that we often say
humorously in spanish
is the translation of something we say
to guests when we want them to feel
comfortable in our home
that's the phrase feel at home or make
yourself at home
and anyway great meanwhile anything you
need just ask huh
that's right mikase oh thanks jack
you too in american culture the house is
a big part
of what's known as the american dream as
defined by merriam-webster the american
dream is a happy way of living that is
thought of as something that can be
achieved by anyone in the u.s
especially by working hard and becoming
successful
others in very few words describe the
american dream as
two kids a dog and a white picket fence

picket fences are a common feature of
certain american houses and they
symbolize the ideal middle class
suburban life
with a family and children large house
and peaceful living let's see how this
concept of family and lifestyle is
used in some tv shows hey
i love you and i i love the idea of
raising our kids with a lawn and a white
picket fence but we have our whole lives
to decide when and if we want to do that
[Music]
the only reason i'm not here now darling
is i'm at work to make enough money to
buy you a house
a picket fence without dogs and children
we'll now walk into the house and
explore the different rooms
we'll start with the basic ones that you
probably already know
the bedroom the bathroom and the kitchen
there's a chance you're not pronouncing
them correctly
let's see do you pronounce this as
bedroom or
bedroom if you're like most learners
you're probably pronouncing this as two
separate words
you'll notice that it's even easier to
pronounce it as
bedroom the same with bathroom let's see
some examples
i i just cannot believe that you ate
that so that i wouldn't feel bad
well actually i i didn't eat mine it's
still in the bathroom
no it isn't i ate that
and we left ours in monica's bedroom no
got it and got yours too
now the detail you might be missing with
the word kitchen
is that the tea is silent
okay see if you look in the kitchen i
will look in the back closet i can save
you time ladies i'm right here
a loft is a room or space directly under
the roof of a house
or another building used for
accommodation or storage
it can also be referred to as an attic
in the uk
it's very common to have a loft
conversion meaning that this space is
converted into another room or bedroom
rather than keeping it as a storage
space
the next two most common rooms in a
house are the living room
there's the coffee table they stole from
us oh those bastards let's go
that fan kind of looks like ours and the
bird cage and
this wait is that this is our exact
living room
and the dining room in american houses
many times the dining area and the
kitchen
are in the same room you've probably
noticed in movies that american houses
tend to have basements
this is the part of the house that's
below ground level
so you dragged us over here went in
there pretended to talk and that snuck
out the basement am i right
the basement connected to another
basement which connected to a garage
which is where my boy picked me up a
garage is an extension of some houses
usually connected to one side and is a
place people keep their cars and store
other items
did you hear the way he pronounced it
here connected to a garage
which is where my boy picked me up the
american and british pronunciation are
quite different
in britain we say garage
do you struggle to understand fast
speaking natives
