00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:07.200
speaking skills to do this i've created

4
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.000
several examples of small talk and your

5
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000
task is to watch

6
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.039
listen

7
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.360
and repeat phrases this is one of the

8
00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:17.520
best ways to improve your accent and

9
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.239
also learn new phrases and by the way

10
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.640
small talk is something very essential

11
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:23.920
that happens

12
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.320
in the english speaking culture we start

13
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.320
most of our conversations with small

14
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.560
talk talking about the weather talking

15
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.960
about recent events discussing news and

16
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.880
learning how to engage in small talk can

17
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.479
be essential if you're planning to do

18
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.800
business or live in an english-speaking

19
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.640
country let's start with small talk

20
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.559
number one and let's talk about the

21
00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:44.640
weather oh it looks like there is a

22
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.800
storm brewing this is an idiomatic

23
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:48.559
expression which means there is going to

24
00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:51.600
be a storm a storm is brewing i'm afraid

25
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:52.800
so

26
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.280
the sky is overcast the sky is

27
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.760
completely covered with clouds and there

28
00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:01.520
is not much light gosh i am so tired of

29
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.640
this

30
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.199
we've been having rainy weather for more

31
00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:07.520
than a week now actually like when it's

32
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:09.040
drizzling

33
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.600
dressling means of raining lightly or

34
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:14.080
that time right after it's stopped

35
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.200
raining the air is so fresh the streets

36
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.640
are empty

37
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.560
perfect ah no i can't relate i hate it

38
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.360
when it's freezing or even chilly chili

39
00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:28.240
means uncomfortably cool or cold fair

40
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:30.319
enough so you prefer

41
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.040
hot weather to cold we say fair enough

42
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.959
when we agree to something that's

43
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.680
acceptable it's okay to not like cold

44
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.479
weather fair enough absolutely then you

45
00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:43.280
should definitely move south away from

46
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.680
the city i'd love to and maybe i will

47
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.320
end up living by the beach someday

48
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:50.720
but not today unfortunately well spring

49
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:52.799
is coming so you won't have to endure

50
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.759
bad weather for much longer endure means

51
00:01:55.759 --> 00:01:59.840
to suffer from something patiently

52
00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:03.920
fingers crossed means i'm hoping

53
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.119
that it's gonna be warm soon

54

75
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.519
a must-see means everybody has to visit

76
00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:11.919

77
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.599
going there

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.760

80
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.800

now the next conversation is going to be

89
00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:42.239
a bit more informal you're going to

90
00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:44.319
encounter a bit more slang

91
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.200
and cool words that a lot of teenagers

92
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.599
use a lot of people on tech talk use so

93
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.519
it's really important to know them these

94
00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:52.730
days

95
00:03:52.730 --> 00:03:55.040
[Music]

96
00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:57.599

00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.439

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.360
damn girl's like wow

99
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.560
coachella is this big music festival in

100
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.680
palm springs that a lot of people go to

101
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.239
and dress up and enjoy the music

102
00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:14.080
oh yeah you went too right no i couldn't

103
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.519
make it unfortunately how was it amazing

104
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.720
so fun was it your first time there no

105
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.279
it was my third time i love music what

106
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.759
can i say you use the phrase what can i

107
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.759
say when there is nothing to add you

108
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.160
know i love music and this is all you

109
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.639
need to justify going to coachella every

110
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.680
single year me too concerts are my

111
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.839
favorite which performance did you like

112
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.320
the best now i use which to ask this

113
00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:41.680
question because we're talking about

114
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.160
coachella and we have

115
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.560
a set of performances that took place

116
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.360
there

117
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.120
and i'm asking which of those

118
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.360
performances you like the best hard to

119
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.960
say

120
00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:55.120
i guess harry styles i've never paid

121
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.440
attention to him but this concert hit

122
00:04:57.440 --> 00:04:59.600
differently so you experience something

123
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.919
that conveys a different emotion than

124
00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:04.639
before it was a vibe means there was

125
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.639
energy that everyone was feeling if you

126
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.639
liked the event you can say it was a

127
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.080
vibe i heard it was an absolute blast to

128
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:15.440
be a blast means to be a very enjoyable

129
00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:16.720
experience

130
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.960
this party was a blast

131
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.520
coachella was a blast beyond doubt

132
00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.279
another great expression to know have

133
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.599
you ever been to any music festivals

134
00:05:31.900 --> 00:05:35.680
[Music]

135
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.360

baseball fan but it just makes sense to

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:47.440
learn a little bit about baseball

140
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:49.199
because everybody's going to be asking

141
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.199
you are you watching the game tonight or

142
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.440

143
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.120
ask me all the time i really need to

144
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.440
develop a habit of following baseball

145
00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:59.919

146
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.319

149
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.240
player but apparently fans are also

150
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.039
buying jerseys with their favorite

151
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:17.279

really hard to navigate like i'm almost

always lost when i'm at a big conference

184
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.199
because there are so many buildings and

185
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.080

much i bought it at macy's in new york

224
00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:20.640
but i'm pretty sure you can find a

225
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:23.839
similar one here i see i should pop into

226
00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:26.160
their store someday definitely they have

227
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:28.000

229
00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:33.279
stylist recommended this jacket and the

230
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.600
quality is the best i am dying to see

231
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.519
their collections so you work with a

232
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.559
personal stylist yes and i love it no

233
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.279
more problems with shopping exactly i

234
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.160
once purchased this expensive purse in

235
00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:47.279
paris

236
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.600
but it is so stylish so it's really hard

237
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.040
for me to

238
00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:53.360
wear it with my ordinary outfits it's

239
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.120
actually a great idea to have a personal

240
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.920
stylist that's what stylists are for

241
00:09:57.920 --> 00:09:59.679

242
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:04.518
spending too much time on it definitely

deeper into how americans actually speak

252
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.120
what they do with their mouth and this

253
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.600
is all explained by non-native speakers
