Vol331.日常英语学习Native Speed Listening Challenge

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888Hello, my name is Eevee and this is a video at native speed English to help you practice your listening comprehension. Feels funny to say that at normal speed, but this is the 100,000 subscriber special. So, I thought maybe I should mix it up a little bit. This is going to be eight minutes of me speaking at native speed. I would love to know how much you can understand. So, watch the whole thing and comment down below if you could understand me or not.I am making this video because I am about to hit 100,000 subscribers. I'm about 1,000 away right now, but I wanted this video to be filmed and ready so that I could upload it for when I hit 100K, because that is so freaking cool.I've been running my channel now for about 4 months. I think it's actually 4 months today since my first upload. And this is the exact beach that I filmed in my very, very first vlog. I was so nervous in that video. My voice was shaking and I had to keep retaking the video because I was so scared. And that was just four months ago. So, it feels pretty cool to be here now, and hopefully I come across a little bit more relaxed.Speaking to Advanced Learners vs. Native SpeakersIn this video, I wanted to talk about a couple of things:The difference between how I speak to an advanced English learner and how I speak to a native.The future of this channel.The first thing I wanted to talk about was the difference between the way I speak to an advanced English learner and the way I speak to a native, because these are actually two different things.When I speak to an advanced English speaker—like even somebody who's C1 or C2, they're basically fluent and can work in English—I do still change my language. Even when I've made friends with people from other countries, my English is completely different compared to how I would speak with a native speaker.The Key DifferencesVocabulary Choice: The main difference is not necessarily the speed, but the words that I choose and use.Slang and Idioms: When I speak to an advanced English speaker, I will avoid really heavy slang, and I'll avoid using too many expressions or colloquialisms.Humor and Sarcasm: I avoid leaning too much into the sarcasm. For example, if I'm speaking to another Brit, I will literally be like, "Shut up." Brits are very sarcastic and very dry; we like to take the piss out of each other. Sometimes I speak to my advanced students, and they might even find this video a bit difficult because I'm speaking faster and I'm using more specific words and phrases.The Challenge of Socializing Abroad & The Reality TV SolutionI don't know if any of you have moved abroad at some point in your life to an English-speaking country, because I think this is one of the main times that people really feel that difference between an advanced English speaker and a native speaker. In particular, if you make friends with natives, it's fine when you're one-on-one. But the minute that you end up going into a bar, a group, or a big social event where there are lots of natives who are speaking to each other, that's actually when a lot of people find that their listening comprehension drops a lot, even though they are super advanced speakers (B2/C1).The biggest problem there is a lack of cultural understanding. You need to understand the jokes, the culture, and the background of the country that you're in order to pick up on the jokes, the intonation, and the kind of banter that goes back and forth between people. I think the UK is particularly bad for this because we're very dry and sarcastic.My Advice for Advanced LearnersIf you struggle with this, or if you are an advanced speaker and my regular videos are too slow or you want something more challenging, you need to watch reality TV.I know it's not for everyone, and people don't always enjoy reality TV like dating shows. But they are so important to watch because that is one of the only times that you will hear natives speaking to each other—particularly in these small-talky, getting-to-know-each-other contexts—without having their language changed at all.How to watch: Watch reality TV with no subtitles. If there's a word or a phrase that you don't get, then just turn them on.If you want to be conversational and make friends in English, watch reality TV to get from that advanced level to that native-level banter. Once you're comfortable with that, then start watching comedies. That will give you the cultural understanding, and if you can get the joke, you're going to be fine.Channel Reflection and the Philosophy of ImmersionIt's now been about six minutes, so I want to talk a little bit for the last couple of minutes here just to reflect on my channel and everything that's gone on in the last few months.I started this back in January because I noticed that a lot of videos that help you learn English are very educational. By that I mean—and there's nothing wrong with this—they do a lot of stuff like, "Let's go to a supermarket and I'm going to tell you what all of these words are." That's fine and it's very useful, you need that sort of content.But I am of the opinion that if you want amazing English or to learn any language, it needs to become a part of your life. Every single morning, whatever you would normally watch in Spanish, Korean, or Portuguese, you need to be watching that in English. As soon as you start replacing all of your habits with habits in English, your fluency is going to go through the roof because your brain needs this kind of immersion.I wanted to make content that you would actually want to sit and watch after a day of work. At least for me, when I finish work, I like watching vlogs or lifestyle content. So, I tried to make content like that in English, but just for people who are learning. That was the idea behind my channel. That's why I've not done any vocabulary builder videos or anything like this; I'm trying to make native content that's accessible.

Vol330.日常英语学习Life Lessons from Fathers and Sons

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888Conversation 1Dad, you wanted to talk to me.Remember, I have to work today, so I don't have much time.Yes, I know that, but I don't know. I'm not sure I can tell you this.Well, you will have to hurry up because I will be late for a meeting. Come on.That's the thing. You're always busy. It's Sunday, but you have to work anyway.I can't believe you're telling me this. You perfectly know why I have to work hard.I know that. I mean, I thought I knew, but I don't anymore. Why?How do you think we can pay for all these things? This luxury house, the new car, the school. It costs a lot of money. We have talked about this topic many times. Don't you remember?Yeah, I know we have a lot of things. We have money. In fact, I think we have too much money. And that's the thing. Why don't we go on vacation together as a family?We do that. We go on vacation once a year, usually in December.No, I mean, why don't we just go together as a family? When we travel, you work anyway.I think you don't understand. I will explain it to you. Pay attention.Your dad hasn't always been a rich man. In fact, I was really poor when I was a child.I was born in a poor family. It was a huge family. We were seven brothers and two sisters. Our house was nothing compared to this one.We lived in a very small and poor house. It was an old house. The walls were made of wood, and the ceiling was falling apart.It was dangerous to live there, but we didn't have any other options since we didn't have money to move.Despite all that, your mother worked hard so we could have something to eat every day. She had to sell a lot of things: old flowers, toys, many things.Life was not easy back then.When I was your age, I had to start working. I got a job selling food on the beach. It was one of the most horrible jobs I could have.The weather was horrible, really sunny. I had to wake up at 4:00 in the morning so I could go to my boss's house to prepare the meal.So, not only did I sell the food, but I also had to prepare it early in the morning.I was hungry all the time. Hungry and tired. We used to eat only a piece of bread and some coffee for breakfast. And for lunch, just a little food. It wasn't enough.I usually finished work at 10:00 or 11:00 in the evening. I arrived home very late. And I had to work every day. Believe me, that job was horrible.And like that job, I had many others. I had to work, otherwise I wouldn't eat.I also helped a mechanic. I was a carpenter. I worked as a waiter in a restaurant. I had many jobs.We didn't have money, so I had to help my mom. Difficult times.Then I decided I wanted to study something. Maybe that way I could live better. So I studied in an institute near my house.It was not very famous, but it was cheap. And I worked and studied at the same time.It was not easy, but I could make it. Three years later, I graduated. I was so happy. I was really happy.Because I thought my life was going to change, you know?Now that I graduated, I could get a good job, earn a lot of money, buy a beautiful house, get an expensive car, and travel around the world.I thought my life was going to be perfect.Unfortunately, none of that happened. I couldn't get a job. And when I got one, it was horrible, and the payment sucked. So, I decided to quit.Then I made the decision to start my own business. I made a plan, asked for a loan, invested more money, and now here we are.What I mean is, it wasn't easy. I had to work really hard to get all these things.That's why I have to work today. Because that's the only way to get good things in life. You need to understand, son.That's why I don't have much time now.I understand that. I understand you have to work to improve your lifestyle. And I really appreciate all you do for this family.But you have everything now, am I right?We have a big house, an expensive car, and I study in one of the most famous schools.And you told me you have millions of dollars in your bank account. Is that correct?Maybe I shouldn't have told you that. But yeah, you're right.Yeah, so I understand you went through difficult times, but when will it be enough for you?How much money should you have to be happy?What do you mean? We need the money to have a good life, and you know that.Yes, we need money, but you already have it.When will you start enjoying that money?You already have millions of dollars in the bank, a house, cars, apartments, savings.Don't you think it's time to enjoy life more? To spend more time with your family?I need you. I'm sure my mom misses you, too. We need you to be with us.Please, just spend more time with us. Stop working too much. I need my dad.I didn't know you felt that way. I thought I was a good father. I thought so.You are a great father, but you deserve more. It's time for you to relax and enjoy your life.It's time for us to be happy. Come on. Please, Dad.You're right, son. I have worked hard, and now it's time to relax.Let's go. We need to buy some tickets so we can go on vacation.Conversation 2Hello, Father. Finally, I could come here to visit you. Sorry for not coming sooner as I promised.Don't worry, son. You look happy to see me. That's not very common.Yeah, I know. What happened is that the advice you gave me last time I was here really worked for me.I could solve my problem, and I want to thank you. And I want to hear more.I'm so happy you could solve that problem. So, do you want to hear more life advice?Yes, Dad. You have a lot of experience since you are old.Well, maybe you're right. Soon, I will leave this world, and it's a great idea to pass on my experience and knowledge to the next generation.So, I will give you the best life advice.The number one is: stop trying to feel happy.You should strive for happiness, but trying to feel happy is a losing strategy.The truth is, you can't self-help yourself into a perfect life. And it's impossible for humans to feel happy all the time.Understanding that, and instead taking conscious actions that make your day-to-day life more joyful, is the key to true happiness.What I mean is, if you have to try to be cool, you will never be cool.Do you understand?If you have to try to be happy, then you will never be happy.People these days are just trying too hard.It is temporary. Always. So, live the moment. Those temporary moments.Another piece of advice I want you to know is: don't make impossible affirmations.Affirmations create belief traps.Standing in the mirror and saying, "I'm a gorgeous model," will only make you feel more inner turmoil because you won't believe the words you're saying.Instead of affirmations, trade up to realistic beliefs that you can accept."I look amazing for my age."What I mean is, do not exaggerate. You could think it makes you feel better, but no. Being realistic is the best option.What else?Let go of your ego.Your ego tries to protect you from looking stupid.Your ego will keep you from signing up for a dance class, playing a sport, or attending a trivia night, even when those things are good, interesting, and fun.Instead of listening to it all the time, learn when it's okay to let go of your ego and do something different.Learn to accept the essence of something.Life isn't fair, but it can still be wonderful.Sometimes, you simply can't have something in life.Maybe you can't have children. Your dream job didn't work out. Or your relationship with your brother will never be good.Instead of chasing something you can't have, accept that you can have the essence of something.People who can't have babies can adopt.People who don't have their dream career can pursue their interests as hobbies.And people with frayed family bonds can make close connections with friends instead.But there's always a way to enjoy these things.Also, you need to understand what true freedom is. It's very important.Freedom isn't having tons of money or being able to travel all the time. Of course not.Instead, freedom is having a greater ability to control your emotional state, no matter what happens in life.That's what freedom really means.So, the question for you is: are you really free?Be happy instead of right.That's probably some of the best advice I can give you.We talked about not trying to find happiness. That's true.But it's also true that one way to guarantee more happiness in your life involves choosing to be happy instead of right.You can try this the next time you're arguing with your wife, partner, brother, or friend.Ask yourself: would I rather be right or happy?That way, the argument will end peacefully.And something important: this doesn't mean you are being the bigger person, nor does it mean that you are allowing yourself to be pushed around.All it means is that you see that there's a better way.Not every situation should lead to one winner and one loser.By taking this step, you not only preserve your own happiness, but also the happiness of all involved.So, decide to put ego aside and try it.What else?Live according to your values.A lot of us don't always behave in accordance with our values.Let me explain it to you.You can value honesty, creativity, freedom, and ingenuity.But if your beliefs, actions, and lifestyle don't mirror your values, you won't be satisfied with your life.Take stock of your life and see if it matches the values you hold dear.If not, it's time to make some changes.Another thing: whatever you do, give it 100%.Seriously.Whatever you find yourself doing at work or in your personal life, do the very best you can do.To do something mediocre harms both our psyche and our prospects.It negatively impacts our credibility, lets people down, and erodes our self-esteem.So, give your work your all.Do it with excellence. Do it more efficiently. Make it more interesting. Improve it or automate it.Give care to even the smallest task.You'll stand out if you do.Many people today would rather be noticed than do something noteworthy.Choose to do something noteworthy. Getting noticed will then be a byproduct.And one example of this is when people want to learn English.They do what's necessary, but that's all. They just do what they have to do.But if you want better results, you should give 100% of your effort to obtain better results.I hope these life tips are useful to you, son.Soon I will no longer be here to help you.Don't say that. You will live many more years.So, I want more life advice, please.I would be happy to, but only if the people watching these videos like the idea.

Vol329.日常英语学习Zootopia 2- Meet Gary the Snake

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888There's a snake.Once again, there's a conspiracy in Zootopia, and it's up to Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde to uncover the truth. In today's lesson, we'll learn with some scenes where Judy meets Gary the Snake, the first snake to be seen in Zootopia in a century, and she discovers that snakes are not dangerous as she's been told.And here's the best part. To help you not only learn all of the expressions we'll cover in today's scenes, but also never forget them, we want to give you all the smart flashcards for today's lesson for free. You can practice them in our app by clicking the link below. Thousands of learners just like you are becoming more fluent every day and having fun while doing it. If that sounds like something that you'd like, be sure to try our method. You only need a few minutes a day to see real progress. Now, let's see Judy's first encounter with Gary.Stop. Please, you don't have to hurt him. Hurt him.Snakes never hurt anyone. We aren't the bad guys. They are. And this journal holds the secret that will prove it. I have to prove it. Please. This is our only chance to set things right. And when I do, my family will finally be able to come home.Part 2: Language Breakdown & Connected SpeechSo Gary is immediately trying to convince Judy that snakes have been misunderstood all along. Let's break down the language he uses to make his case.Snakes never hurt anyone. We aren't the bad guys. They are.In everyday English, "bad guys" means the villains, the people doing harm, breaking rules, or causing trouble. The opposite, naturally, is the good guys. It's a very casual, informal way of talking about heroes and villains. You might recognize this from Billie Eilish's hit song Bad Guy:"I'm that bad guy type. Make your mama sad type. Make your girlfriend mad tight. Might seduce your dad type. I'm the bad guy."Here, Billie playfully flips the whole idea. She's the one claiming to be the bad guy. And then Gary reveals that the Lynxley's journal is the key to Zootopia's biggest mystery.And this journal holds the secret that will prove it.When something holds a secret, it means that it contains hidden or crucial information that others don't know about. We use the verb hold because the object is keeping something inside, like a container. You could say, "This old letter holds the answer." Or, "Her expression held a secret." Listen to these other examples."This candle holds the miracle given to our family.""Use this magic to get your father back." / "I can't. Not yet." / "I don't understand. This holds a power no human can access.""I think the clock holds a clue. So, I need to get back to the garden and to Hattie."And I mentioned the real life app earlier. It really holds the secret for you to be able to speak confident natural English. Why am I so sure? Well, I've personally learned six languages and we've taught millions of English learners just like you over the last 15 years. We used our experience to build the only English app you'll ever need.If you feel too busy to dedicate enough time to studying, or you feel like you've been stuck at the same level forever, let me share with you a method to go from being a lost, insecure English learner to being a confident, natural English speaker, even if you only have 10 to 15 minutes per day.Watch a short lesson like this one with Zootopia 2. Practice the new words with smart flashcards which use science to help you remember new words forever and speak the new words in a real conversation so you feel confident using them in any situation and practice pronunciation. The great thing is we make it super easy for you to do this on the real life app. And in fact, you can use the new words you're learning in a guided speaking conversation based on this exact lesson with Zootopia 2 right now. Stop just recognizing and forgetting new words and start being able to actually speak them naturally. So try for free. Just click the link in the description.Now, I bet you get frustrated when natives speak fast and you can't understand them, right? Well, actually, the problem isn't usually about speed. It's about connected speech. That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together when speaking fluently. Listen again to how Gary says "prove it".And this journal holds the secret that will prove it.So connected speech usually happens when we have content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.) and function words (articles, particles, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, etc.) together. Function words link to content words or other function words and sometimes even reduce or morph. This is a simple example. Instead of saying "prove" and "it" as two separate words, we say a smooth "prove it". Prove it. Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice. So listen to Gary again and try to say that just like him.Holds the secret that will prove it.And we have another great instance of connected speech that we can practice in the clip where Gary first appears.Mayor Wind Dancer: There's a snake! There's a snake!Mayor Wind Dancer's exclamation almost sounds like just one word. First, the article "a" usually just reduces to what's called a schwa sound (uh, uh). It then links to "there's" (there's a, there's a). Let's put it all together. There's a snake. There's a snake. Now you try. Say that just like Wind Dancer.Mayor Wind Dancer: There's a snake! There's a snake!So apparently something went very wrong and that's why Gary needs a secret inside the journal.This is our only chance to set things right.What do you think it means to set things right? To fix a mistake or correct an unfair situation? To move things to the correct position? To tell the truth about something? Nice. This expression is about restoring justice after something has gone wrong. Think about the movie Encanto. Bruno spent years in the walls of the house because everyone blamed him for bad things happening. His whole journey and honestly the whole family's journey is about setting things right. Here are a couple other examples."I've got to go back and set things right.""We'll set things right."Part 3: Escaping to the HideoutGood job up to this point. Let's fast forward in the movie. Gary escapes and Judy discovers that snakes are innocent and the Lynxleys are the real villains. As Nick and Judy get closer to uncovering the mystery of how snakes were banished from Zootopia, the Lynxleys have Nick thrown in jail. However, Pawbert and Gary are able to rescue Judy just in time.This character, Pawbert, is also a Lynxley, but he's the black sheep of his family and has agreed to help Gary. A black sheep is a family member who does not fit in with the behavior and values of the rest of their family, just like Elphaba from Wicked. Now, let's check out the scene where Judy wakes up after being saved by this duo.YOU'RE NOT DEAD.Pawbert: SHE'S not dead. Sorry. Sorry, I just got my motorcycle license. But out here, no one's going to catch us. Almost to me hideout.You shall succeed, Judy Hopps. We'll stop the Lynxleys and save your partner.I'm sorry. You are...Oh, Gary. Gary the snake. Welcome to my oasis, away from my evil family.Pawbert: I like to come here just kind of veg out. Get with all my cat stuff.No, that's actually vintage. You could just not... Oh, no. No. Please don't. Wow. Mammals get the best stuff.Pawbert: Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Oh god. Sorry. Sorry. I just got my motorcycle license.Part 4: Advanced Vocabulary & IdiomsA license is an official document that gives you legal permission to do something. A driver's license lets you drive a car. A pilot's license lets you fly a plane. A fishing license lets you fish. Pawbert isn't a great motorcycle driver yet because he just got his license. Pawbert is a silly character, so he playfully says this next line.Pawbert: Almost to me hideout.Okay, did you catch that? Gary says "me hideout" instead of "my hideout". It's pirate speech. A bit like how Captain Jack Sparrow would speak. Pirates replace "my" with "me". Me ship, me treasure, me hideout. And pirates often have a hideout, a secret place to hide from people who are after them or to find tranquility. Just like Batman's Batcave. Now, let's check out some interesting grammar that Gary used.We shall succeed, Judy Hopps. We stop the Lynxleys and save your partner.In modern English, we almost always use "will" to talk about the future. We will succeed. But "shall" is an older, more formal way of expressing the same thing. We can use it when we want to sound more dramatic. Here are a couple more examples."The School of Rock... and we shall teach rock and roll.""But why they don't offer more ice with their drinks, I shall never understand.""Life's not fair, is it? You see, I... Well, I shall never be king."And next, Judy uses a really useful social expression.I'm sorry. You are...Oh, Gary. Gary the snake.
