2
00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:08.499
[Music]

3
00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:11.880
hey there I'm Ethan your real life

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.340
English fluency coach and today we're

5
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:16.139
learning English with the World Cup

6
00:00:16.139 --> 00:00:18.539
which is a multicultural event for

7
00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:20.520
people from all different nations come

8
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.460
together to play and celebrate their

9
00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:25.500
different cultures plus the language

10
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:27.420
they all use to communicate is English

11
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:31.320
so even if you are not a soccer fan well

12
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:32.579
in today's lesson we're going to give

13
00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.500
you a ton of vocabulary that you can

14
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.719
actually use in your everyday life plus

15
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.000
you will get some tips on how to learn

16
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.280
English on your own so the World Cup

17
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.920
really is a great living example of how

18
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.680
English is the global language so much

19
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.140
so that the lyrics of the official

20
00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.600
soundtrack for this year's World Cup are

21
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.180
in English and the course actually has a

22
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:55.980
really beautiful message we better

23
00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:58.020
together but you may be asking yourself

24
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.360
Ethan shouldn't be we are better

25
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:02.340
together that's what I always learn in

26
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:05.040
school well you would be correct that

27
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.740
was definitely the official grammar rule

28
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:09.240
is that there should be an auxiliary

29
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.060
verb here but first of all oftentimes in

30
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:14.280
speaking natives will drop the auxiliary

31
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.260
verbs now this is very colloquial so you

32
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.360
shouldn't use it in a formal setting or

33
00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:20.159
when you're writing but it's something

34
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.380
you can observe that happens how you

35
00:01:22.380 --> 00:01:23.759
doing

36
00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:25.920
but did you know also that better can be

37
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.780
used as a verb meaning to improve

38
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.840
something so for example if you study

39
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.700
more you can better your score on the

40
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:34.680
exam so they could also be saying that

41
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.140
you know when we come together we blend

42
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:39.299
our cultures we share different ideas

43
00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:42.000
that we become so much more than we

44
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.920
could on our own but also we grow

45
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.360
ourselves it's a really beautiful

46
00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:47.700
message isn't it so in that global

47
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:49.560
citizenship Spirit let's jump into

48
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.580
today's lesson with the World Cup oh yes

49
00:01:52.580 --> 00:01:54.299
[Music]

50
00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:58.280
you know we're better together

51
00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:01.979
so the first video that we're going to

52
00:02:01.979 --> 00:02:03.659
look at today is from French player

53
00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:05.939
Killian mbappe who's talking to David

54
00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:07.979
Beckham about expectations for playing

55
00:02:07.979 --> 00:02:09.919
in the World Cup

56
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.959
people don't know what what it is to

57
00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:15.239
have this pressure to play because you

58
00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:17.099
have you have too much energy to play to

59
00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:19.560
give your bestest sometime you go and

60
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.440
she has good vocabulary for sure you do

61
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:24.300
something and the workshop is not it's

62
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:25.139
something you can work on his

63
00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:27.000
pronunciation because I think a lot of

64
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.860
the workup you have you know these close

65
00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:31.680
files he doesn't say so so accurately

66
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.720
this adrenaline you you want to do your

67
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:36.660
best and you go you go strong and and it

68
00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:39.720
is people don't know what what it is to

69
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:42.000
have this pressure to play because you

70
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.700
have you have too much energy to play

71
00:02:43.700 --> 00:02:47.099
Good Start he uses the advanced

72
00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:50.459
structure what it is like this is used

73
00:02:50.459 --> 00:02:52.500
to describe something or someone just as

74
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.000
Killian used to talk about the pressure

75
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.860
of playing a big game such as the World

76
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:56.639
Cup

77
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.620
you can also use this expression as a

78
00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:00.959
question for example what was your trip

79
00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:01.800
like

80
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.959
this means you want the person to scribe

81
00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:06.419
their trip because you have you have too

82
00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:08.280
much energy to play to give your bestest

83
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.440
sometimes you go and you do some things

84
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:12.540
and the workout is not if something can

85
00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:14.879
happen he shows a good command of the

86
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.080
language here by using a nice

87
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.900
collocation to give your best which

88
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:21.659
means to try as hard as you can he's

89
00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:23.340
saying that sometimes the player can do

90
00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.620
all the hard work but because of the

91
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:27.780
pressure of playing a big game stuff can

92
00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:30.360
happen and they get a red card a red

93
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.280
card in a soccer game means that the

94
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.319
player is being ejected or expelled from

95
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.120
the game they can't play that match

96
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.019
anymore

97
00:03:37.019 --> 00:03:39.180
I can understand what is when you play

98
00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:40.680
in the World Cup you have you know this

99
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.599
this adrenaline you you want to do your

100
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080
best and you go you go strong and

101
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.220
advanced speakers are normally able to

102
00:03:47.220 --> 00:03:49.319
give specific names to what they are

103
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.000
feeling or experiencing just like

104
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.500
Killian did here

105
00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.200
he used the word adrenaline which is the

106
00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:56.819
substance released in the body when

107
00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:59.220
going under a lot of stress or dealing

108
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:01.080
with different emotions

109
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.540
then he also uses the expression go

110
00:04:03.540 --> 00:04:05.580
strong which means to do whatever it

111
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.099
takes to succeed check out it being used

112
00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:10.319
in Brooklyn Nine-Nine a comedy cop show

113
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.840
can't let ozarov ditched the drugs you

114
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.700
gotta go in Fast and strong I don't know

115
00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:15.659
about you but I could use some

116
00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:18.060
adrenaline before we continue one of the

117
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.579
greatest things about following Sports

118
00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:23.279

119
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.919

the latest win or the shocking loss and

121
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.339

135
00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:04.320
look at South Korean player son hongmin

136
00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:06.540
who plays for the english team Tottenham

137
00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:09.360
sitting down in an interview with actor

138
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.180
Tom Holland to discuss winning the pukas

139
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:14.279
award which is an award that is given

140
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.320
for the most beautiful golf scored in

141
00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:18.360
the year I was weird to say Spider-Man

142
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.339
with a British accent

143
00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:22.440
did you were you going for goal when you

144
00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:23.639
got the ball or were you just trying to

145
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.320
make a run and that that opportunity

146
00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:27.300
came in and then you just went

147
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:29.639
no obviously I think when I received the

148
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.979
ball on my box I tried to pass it right

149
00:05:31.979 --> 00:05:34.199
and they're never gonna do all the old

150
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.720
people there uh certainly I start

151
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.300
dribbling after two seconds I was when

152
00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:42.419
we won with the keyboard what

153
00:05:42.419 --> 00:05:44.940
I couldn't believe you know tripping I

154
00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:46.320
couldn't believe it

155
00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:48.720
but he's got

156
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.100
really good English

157
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.500
definitely a strong British accent

158
00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:55.380
um with some probably just small errors

159
00:05:55.380 --> 00:05:57.900
but like really good did you did you

160
00:05:57.900 --> 00:05:59.400
were you going for gold when you got the

161
00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:00.660
ball or were you just trying to make a

162
00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:02.520
run and that that opportunity came in

163
00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:05.100
and then you just went first off kudos

164
00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:06.660
to Hung means listening skills and

165
00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:09.000
vocabulary awareness Tom Holland makes

166
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.620
use of some phrasal verbs and

167
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:12.360
expressions that require a good level of

168
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.120
English and by his response we can see

169
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.520
that we totally understood them the

170
00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.039
first phrasal verb is go for this means

171
00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:22.080
to decide to do or to choose something

172
00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:24.419
for example I feel like going for ice

173
00:06:24.419 --> 00:06:26.160
cream in the evening would you like to

174
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.860
join me then he asks were you just

175
00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:30.960
trying to make a run this is a common

176
00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:32.699
expression soccer that means to start

177
00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:34.020
running in order to escape from

178
00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:34.860
something

179
00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:36.779
normally that's the first reaction a

180
00:06:36.779 --> 00:06:38.160
player has when they see an opponent

181
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.139
approaching you can also use this

182
00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:42.120
expression slightly differently and say

183
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.699
make a run at something to express the

184
00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:46.620
idea of trying to win something such as

185
00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:49.620
a negotiation or political run

186
00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:51.720
check out how it is used in Mad Men when

187
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.339
they find out that the company is in

188
00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:56.220
negotiation to be sold I apologize you

189
00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:58.080
had to find out this way

190
00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:01.759
believe me it wasn't my decision

191
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.839
well they've only got me for a year you

192
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.339
for what three

193
00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:07.800
we'll make another run at it

194
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.460
uh certainly I start dribbling after two

195
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:13.380
seconds I was won't be moving to keep a

196
00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:16.080
keeper so we can see that he totally

197
00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:18.840
dominates the vocabulary of his field he

198
00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:21.060
uses the exact word to describe this

199
00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:23.220
very common action in soccer which is to

200
00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:24.360
dribble

201
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.639
then he uses the word keeper which is

202
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.319
short for goalkeeper the player

203
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.000
responsible for stopping the opposing

204
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.639
team from scoring a goal do you know

205
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.919
what this is called in American English

206
00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:39.440
keepy goalie blocky

207
00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:47.759
and a great expression here is one on

208
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.800
one if two people do or discuss

209
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.599
something one-on-one it means they do it

210
00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:53.220
directly without the intervention of

211
00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:55.680
someone else for example I had a

212
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.240
one-on-one with my boss to discuss the

213
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.639
next steps of the project let's move on

214
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.240
to the next part

215
00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:05.400
what I couldn't believe you know

216
00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:07.500
something that natives do and that

217
00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.539
hongmin has mastered too is to use

218
00:08:09.539 --> 00:08:12.240
conversational fillers he used I was

219
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.580
like what to add some drama to the story

220
00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:17.160
and keep the listener engaged and you

221
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.080
know to ask for confirmation and

222
00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:21.000
approval that Tom was following the

223
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.139
story

224
00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.879
all right so now let's move on to pique

225
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.000
who is from Barcelona where I live and

226
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.460
in this interview he's talking all about

227
00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:31.979
the future plans that he has in

228
00:08:31.979 --> 00:08:33.839
particular about managing and owning FC

229
00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:35.700
and Dora which he hopes to take forward

230
00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:38.339
to a championship so at the end of the

231
00:08:38.339 --> 00:08:40.380
day one of my

232
00:08:40.380 --> 00:08:43.260
one of my ideas that some days I want to

233
00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:45.059
do it some days I don't want to do it it

234
00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:47.580
depends on the day I I always had the

235
00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.320
the idea to be the president of

236
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.660
Barcelona he speaks really Spanish

237
00:08:51.660 --> 00:08:56.220
with his accent or Catalan uh but in

238
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.140
general like really good this experience

239
00:08:58.140 --> 00:08:59.940
with Andorra has helped me a lot to

240
00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:02.040
understand how to manage a club it's

241
00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:03.839
true that you cannot compare both clubs

242
00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:06.300
because it doesn't make any sense but

243
00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:08.339
starting a project like this that it's a

244
00:09:08.339 --> 00:09:10.860
very small club and how little by little

245
00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.019
it's it's growing it's it's a great

246
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:14.880
experience hmm

247
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.160
we can tell that he has a strong accent

248
00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:17.600
but

249
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:18.839
[Music]

250
00:09:18.839 --> 00:09:21.120
comprehension of what he's saying at all

251
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.000
he used a great expression at the end of

252
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.458
the day at the end of the day one of my

253
00:09:26.458 --> 00:09:28.679
you can use it to show a conclusion

254
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.360
especially when talking about the most

255
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.519
important fact of a situation like in

256
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:33.720
this example

257
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.540
the end of the day comes down to the

258
00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:38.160
same question I've been asking for the

259
00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:40.679
last 20 years do you

260
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.899
do you I always had the the idea to be

261
00:09:42.899 --> 00:09:44.580
the president of Barcelona this

262
00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:46.500
experience with Andorra has helped me a

263
00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:48.720
lot to understand how to manage a club

264
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.540
interesting here we can see how good his

265
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:53.399
English is as he makes use of the

266
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.839
present perfect to describe the

267
00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:56.640
experience he's having as a club manager

268
00:09:56.640 --> 00:09:58.740
most Learners confuse it with a simple

269
00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:01.860
past do you also confuse them check out

270
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:03.779
this explanation that Casa and I gave on

271
00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:05.458
a lesson on our other channel real life

272
00:10:05.458 --> 00:10:08.399
English know when to use the fast simple

273
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.100
or the present perfect

274
00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:13.679
it's a little bit complex but there's

275
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.660
like a rule of thumb that most of times

276
00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:18.420
will work uh when something begins in

277
00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:20.339
the past and then continues up until now

278
00:10:20.339 --> 00:10:22.260
you use the present perfect so for

279
00:10:22.260 --> 00:10:24.240
example I've been in Brazil for two

280
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.220
weeks that means that I'm still in

281
00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:28.440
Brazil but something that use the past

282
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.720
tense is already finished so you know

283
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.880
next week I'll be saying I was in Brazil

284
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:36.240
for two weeks yeah let's check out the

285
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.339
next part of PK's interview it's true

286
00:10:38.339 --> 00:10:39.958
that you cannot compare both clubs

287
00:10:39.958 --> 00:10:42.420
because it doesn't make any sense but

288
00:10:42.420 --> 00:10:44.578
starting a project like this that it's a

289
00:10:44.578 --> 00:10:47.040
very small club and how little by little

290
00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.140
it's growing it's it's a great

291
00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:51.779
experience great did you notice how his

292
00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:54.179
speech is well connected the reason for

293
00:10:54.179 --> 00:10:56.578
this is the use of conjunctions these

294
00:10:56.578 --> 00:10:59.760
are words like because but and if that

295
00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:01.559
are used to connect words and phrases to

296
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.779
better link your ideas thus making you

297
00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:05.760
feel and sound more fluent check out how

298
00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:07.800
Anita a Brazilian singer with Advanced

299
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:10.740
English uses conjunctions too so I used

300
00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:13.200
to work in a store before everything and

301
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.540
my first job was in a store like and I

302
00:11:15.540 --> 00:11:18.360
was so bad at it because people were

303
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:19.980
wearing things and I couldn't tell they

304
00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:21.480
were looking good

305
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.420
so but I need it for them to buy it and

306
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:25.860
now speaking of Brazil we're going to

307
00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:28.260
take a look at a cliff from one of its

308
00:11:28.260 --> 00:11:31.320
most famous players Neymar Jr on a post

309
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.860
that he recently shared on social media

310
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:39.779
hello Bjorn and two years that you bring

311
00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:42.120
me to Puma family

312
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.179
thank you for everything

313
00:11:45.179 --> 00:11:48.480
bye see you in Qatar ciao

314
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.980
most of Neymar's International

315
00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:52.078
interviews are actually in Spanish which

316
00:11:52.078 --> 00:11:54.059
he has shown great fluency in

317
00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:56.059
um

318
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.399
now when it comes to English we can see

319
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.140
that he shows the characteristics of an

320
00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:08.640
intermediate level speaker

321
00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:11.399
he mostly uses content words these are

322
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.200
the words that carry meaning like nouns

323
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.899
adjectives and adverbs however a more

324
00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:17.399
advanced speaker is able to use function

325
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.320
words like articles connectors and

326
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.000
prepositions to express their ideas more

327
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.958
accurately

328
00:12:21.958 --> 00:12:24.300
for example a more advanced way of

329
00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:25.860
saying this sentence

330
00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:29.820
two years that you bring me to Puma

331
00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:32.519
family would be this is the second year

332
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.380
that you have brought me into the Puma

333
00:12:34.380 --> 00:12:37.380
family or it's been two years since you

334
00:12:37.380 --> 00:12:40.200
brought me into the Puma family thank

335
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:41.899
you for everything

336
00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:45.540
the sound in words like everything going

337
00:12:45.540 --> 00:12:48.000
and interesting can be tricky for

338
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.399
non-natives to pronounce Neymar

339
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.440
pronounces it almost like a sound

340
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.620
everything to make that sound correctly

341
00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:57.300
it's important to pass the air through

342
00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:59.339
your nose you pull the back of your

343
00:12:59.339 --> 00:13:01.320
tongue towards your throat and stop the

344
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.179
air in your mouth if you make it

345
00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:04.860
correctly you should be able to stretch

346
00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:07.760
out the sound like this

347
00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:11.549
[Music]

348
00:13:11.958 --> 00:13:14.220
another trait of lower intermediate

349
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:16.200
Learners is using very short sentences

350
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.480
just to communicate a certain message he

351
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.458
doesn't expand on what he wants to say

352
00:13:20.458 --> 00:13:22.880
it's the opposite of what pique did

353
00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:25.440
although this is not necessarily wrong

354
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.480
this is not ideal for those who want to

355
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.240
become confident natural speakers

356
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.679
so I hope that you enjoyed today's

357
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.779
lesson and that some of what you learned

358
00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:35.399
might be useful for some upcoming

359
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.200
conversations you'll be having during

360
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.019
the World Cup and for sure take a moment

361
00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:42.660
to comment down below let me know where

362
00:13:42.660 --> 00:13:44.399
you're from and how you think your

363
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.559
country is going to do in the world cup

364
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.540
and of course a great way for you to

365
00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:49.980
practice your English already is by

366
00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:51.660
interacting with your fellow Learners

367
00:13:51.660 --> 00:13:53.458
there so thanks so much for joining me

368
00:13:53.458 --> 00:13:54.380
today

369
00:13:54.380 --> 00:13:58.260
ah yeah by the way despite being hard to

370
00:13:58.260 --> 00:13:59.700
find interviews in English with Neymar
