addresses now let's start this lesson

48
00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:06.840
first look at this very short and simple

49
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.599
paragraph hey my friend

50
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.120
relax

51
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.400
you don't have to study so hard

52
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.680
i'm sure you will do great tomorrow

53
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.639
this is a very simple paragraph right

54
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.040
however if you go to the us and you have

55
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:24.959
a conversation with someone on the

56
00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:27.280
street or you see two friends having a

57
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.639
conversation informally on the street

58
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.040
this is not the way they will say it

59
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:35.440
so how will they say it

60
00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:39.040
instead of friend they will say dude

61
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:42.959
dude dude is used to refer to a man

62
00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:44.400
for example

63
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.400
jason was a cool dude it means jason was

64
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.639
a cool and nice man

65
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.080
instead of relax you may hear chill

66
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.200
chill which means relax for example the

67
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.200
bar has a pretty chill atmosphere

68
00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:04.959
the bar has a pretty chill atmosphere it

69
00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:07.440
means the vibe of the bar is very

70
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:09.919
relaxed it's very chill

71
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.120
instead of study hard you may hear the

72
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.440
word cram

73
00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:19.280
cram if you cram for an exam you study

74
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.599
really hard for it in a very short

75
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.159
period of time for example the night

76
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.879
before the exam you have all your books

77
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.680
and you start cramming for the exam

78
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.760
she is cramming for her history exam

79
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:36.879
now instead of do well especially for an

80
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.640
exam you will hear the word ace

81
00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:44.239
ace if you ace a test or ace an exam it

82
00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:46.560
means you will do very well in that test

83
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.280
or exam for example i aced my math exam

84
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.640
i aced it it means i did very well

85
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.200
now look again at this paragraph and

86
00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:59.360
let's read it again this time using

87
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.280
american slang

88
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.599
hey dude

89
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.040
chill

90
00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:08.000
you don't have to cram

91
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.840
i'm sure you will ace the test tomorrow

92
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.480
now this is american slang

93
00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:16.880
now look at this very short and simple

94
00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:18.560
paragraph

95
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.320
last night's party was amazing we went

96
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:24.000
crazy

97
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.560
your friends were really cool

98
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.080
now this is a normal paragraph however

99
00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:32.000
do you know what the slang version of

100
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.639
this paragraph could be

101
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.440
when something is amazing or really good

102
00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:40.479
or really enjoyable instead of amazing

103
00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:43.040
or good or enjoyable in american slang

104
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.279
you can say lit

105
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.160
lit

106
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.400
if something is lit it's very good for

107
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:49.759
example

108
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.960
that car is lit it means that core is

109
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.400
very good

110
00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:57.520
another thing you can use instead of lit

111
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.279
is dope

112
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.000
dope which means cool which means very

113
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.680
good for example

114
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.199
whoa that music is dope and his dad

115
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.120
music is very good

116
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.080
instead of crazy in american slang you

117
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:15.120
may hear the word nuts

118
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.360
nuts which means crazy and out of your

119
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.560
mind for example you are nuts if you

120
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.160
think you can climb mount everest easily

121
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.080
you are nuts

122
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:28.880
if you think you can climb mount everest

123
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:32.080
easily you're crazy you're nuts now

124
00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:34.639
let's see the slang version of this

125
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.560
paragraph

126
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.279
last night's party was

127
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.039
lit

128
00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:42.639
we went

129
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:43.759
nuts

130
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.039
your friends were really dope

131
00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:48.320
that's it

132
00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:50.720
and now time for another short and

133
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.160
simple paragraph let's read it together

134
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.639
i love my girlfriend

135
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.199
she is beautiful and she is very stylish

136
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.240
she is also very modest

137
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.279
she has a great sense of style

138
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.960
and she helps me wear things which are

139
00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:12.720
very attractive

140
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.680
now this is a normal paragraph

141
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.520
what is the slang version of this

142
00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.880
paragraph let's see together

143
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:24.400
if someone is stylish or if something is

144
00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:26.240
very stylish

145
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.400
in american slang you might hear the

146
00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:31.199
word drip and say

147
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.440
somebody or something has

148
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:34.639
the drip

149
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.039
if someone has the drip it means they

150
00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:39.839
are very stylish very fashionable for

151
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.440
example i like susie because she has the

152
00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:44.479
drip

153
00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:47.680
she has the drip she's very stylish

154
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.120
now if something or someone is quiet

155
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.839
and in a way that is not attracting

156
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.680
anyone's attention

157
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.479
so it's like neutral without attracting

158
00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:02.639
attention you could use the word low-key

159
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.080
low-key means

160
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:07.199
quiet and without attracting attention

161
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.479
for example the wedding ceremony was

162
00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:12.319
very low-key

163
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.639
it means the wedding did not attract

164
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.599
that much attention and it was quiet

165
00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:20.880
maybe very small it was low-key

166
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:23.360
in american slang instead of girlfriend

167
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.280
or boyfriend you may hear the word bae

168
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:32.080
bae b-a-e for example it's bad when bae

169
00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:35.039
does not reply to your texts

170
00:07:35.039 --> 00:07:37.759
it's bad when bae doesn't reply to your

171
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.840
texts it means it's very bad that your

172
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:42.400
girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't reply to

173
00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:45.280
your messages if something is very

174
00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:47.360
attractive or if someone is very

175
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.680
attractive instead of attractive you may

176
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.639
hear the word on fleek

177
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.680
on fleek which is a slang for attractive

178
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.160
for example that look is very on fleek

179
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.199
that look is very on fleek it means that

180
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.479
look that dress that outfit is very

181
00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:09.520
attractive that's on fleek

182
00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.680
and now let's have another look at this

183
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.160
paragraph this time let's make it slang

184
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.960
i love my bae

185
00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:23.759
she is beautiful and she has the drip

186
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.199
she's also very low-key

187
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.680
she has a great sense of style and she

188
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.240
helps me wear things which are on fleek

189
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.880
easy peasy and now it is time for the

190
00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:39.599
last paragraph again i want to remind

i was studying last night

but i was really bored

202
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.720
so my friend suggested going to a bar

203
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.880
i was so excited to dance and drink

204
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:18.559
i really wanted a bottle of beer but

205
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.080
when we got there the bar was quiet and

206
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.440
empty

207
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.720

208
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:27.679
text

00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.120

let's find out together

211
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:36.320
another way to say study is to say hit

212
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:37.440
the box

213
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.679

saying to study

215
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.200
for example

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.279
this weekend i have to hit the books

217
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.160

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.760
i have to study

221
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:56.080
in american slang they don't usually use

222
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.080
the word excited

223
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.120
instead they say hyped

224
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.519
hyped which means very excited about

225
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.120
something for example i am really hyped

226
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.360
about the new marvel movie

227
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.839
i'm really hyped about the new marvel

228
00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:14.640
movie i'm very excited about it now this

229
00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:17.200
one is a very interesting slang

230
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.880
if you want to say that you want

00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:21.679
something really bad it means you want

232
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.640
it so much you can say you are jonesing

233
00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:25.760
for it

234
00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:28.160
that's right if you are jonesing for

235
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:29.839
something it means you really want to

236
00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:30.800
have it

237
00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:34.000
for example i'm jonesing for a cup of

238
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.399
coffee right now it means i really want

239
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.640
to have a cup of coffee i'm jonesing for

240
00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:39.519

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.920
and finally the last slang of this

242
00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:42.880
lesson

243
00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:47.040
if a place is quiet and empty you could

244
00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:48.880
say it's dead

245
00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:51.760
so if you say a place is dead it means

246
00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:54.958
it's very empty and quiet it's boring

247
00:10:54.958 --> 00:10:58.399
it's not lively it's dead for example

248
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.519
the bar was really dead last night i

249
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.880
didn't like it

250
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.279
the bar was really dead it means it was

251
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.880
very empty and very silent quiet

252
00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:10.880
it is especially used for bars and

253
00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:13.679
restaurants and now let's have a look at

254
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.640
this paragraph and see the slang version

255
00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:18.399

i was hitting the box

257
00:11:20.958 --> 00:11:23.839
last night but i was really bored

258
00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:24.640
so

259
00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:28.160
my friend suggested going to a bar

260
00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:29.440

261
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.040

i was jonesing for

264
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.839

00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:40.240
bottle of beer

266
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.679
but when we got there the bar was

267
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.880
dead

268
00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:45.920
