1. 0:06Good morning, good afternoon, and good
2. 0:08evening. Welcome to Smashing English.
3. 0:10Today, we are going to be looking at 50
4. 0:14phrases in a British accent, a modern
5. 0:18RP, Received Pronunciation. It is the
6. 0:21accent that I speak with most of the
7. 0:23time. It is a neutral British accent,
8. 0:27mostly heard in the south of England.
9. 0:29So, you don't have to speak with this
10. 0:31accent, but a lot of my students want
11. 0:34to. So, I will do these 10 at a time.
12. 0:38So, I will read 10. We can practice
13. 0:41together. Then, if you have any
14. 0:43questions, give me some questions in the
15. 0:46chat or the comments, and I will answer
16. 0:49them in between doing some of the
17. 0:52sentences. So,
18. 0:54any questions you have, let me know in
19. 0:57the chat or the comments, and I will
20. 0:59answer them after we've read a couple of
21. 1:02these phrases. So, hello everybody. I
22. 1:04can see people from Turkey, Pakistan,
23. 1:08Myanmar, Somalia, India. So cool. Japan.
24. 1:12I love Japan. I want to go back so much.
25. 1:16Okay, let's get started then. So, these
26. 1:19are all common phrases that you will
27. 1:22hear in Britain, and this is how to say
28. 1:25them in a modern RP accent. Here we go.
29. 1:30How's your day going?
30. 1:32How's your day going?
31. 1:35How's your day going?
32. 1:37Okay, I hope you're saying these with
33. 1:39me. This is good a good opportunity for
34. 1:41shadowing. How's your day going?
35. 1:44Next up, we have
36. 1:47Fancy a cup of tea later?
37. 1:50Fancy a cup of tea later?
38. 1:52Fancy means want or desire. So, this
39. 1:57phrase means do you want a cup of tea
40. 2:00later? But, most British people will
41. 2:03say, "Fancy a cup of tea later?"
42. 2:06And the of
43. 2:08most people will just pronounce that
44. 2:10like a
45. 2:12cup of tea.
46. 2:13Fancy a cup of tea?
47. 2:15Cup of tea. Cup of tea. So, kind of
48. 2:19ignore that f. We don't really need it.
49. 2:21Fancy a cup of tea later?
50. 2:24Lovely.
51. 2:26Ooh, okay.
52. 2:27I can't be bothered to sort that out
53. 2:29right now.
54. 2:31I can't be bothered to sort that out
55. 2:33right now.
56. 2:35I can't be bothered to sort that out
57. 2:37right now.
58. 2:38So, I can't be bothered means uh I don't
59. 2:42want to I don't want to put that effort
60. 2:45in uh
61. 2:46and sort that out means to solve a
62. 2:49problem to to yeah to solve a problem.
63. 2:52So, I don't want to solve that problem
64. 2:55right now.
65. 2:56I can't be bothered to sort that out
66. 2:59right now.
67. 3:02I'm absolutely exhausted after work.
68. 3:06I'm absolutely exhausted after work.
69. 3:10Now, you might have noticed there my
70. 3:11natural accent I want to say after.
71. 3:15That's how I naturally say that.
72. 3:17But, in a modern RP it's more common to
73. 3:20hear after.
74. 3:22Personally, I think if you are wanting
75. 3:25to have British pronunciation, it
76. 3:28doesn't really matter. I If you like my
77. 3:32accent, if you like how I talk, I say
78. 3:35after. But, you can also say after.
79. 3:39I don't really mind. As an English
80. 3:41teacher, I don't care. So, both versions
81. 3:43would be I'm absolutely exhausted after
82. 3:47work. That's how I would say it.
83. 3:49I'm absolutely exhausted after work.
84. 3:53You choose. Up to you.
85. 3:55Oh, this is a nice phrase.
86. 3:57Don't stress too much about it.
87. 4:00Don't stress too much about it.
88. 4:03Don't stress too much about it. That's
89. 4:05nice. You know, don't stress too much.
90. 4:07Don't worry. Just, you know, calm down.
91. 4:09It's okay.
92. 4:10Um
93. 4:12Okay, moving on.
94. 4:15That's really not my thing.
95. 4:18That's really not my thing. If something
96. 4:21is your thing, you really like it, it
97. 4:24suits you, you really enjoy it. If it's
98. 4:28not your thing, you don't enjoy it, it's
99. 4:30not for you. Mhm. That's really not my
100. 4:33thing. My husband wants to go to a
101. 4:37wrestling match, but that's really not
102. 4:40my thing.
103. 4:43You'll be fine. Don't worry.
104. 4:46You'll be fine. Don't worry.
105. 4:49You'll be fine. Don't worry.
106. 4:51Notice how I'm not pronouncing the full
107. 4:55T here. So, I'm not saying don't worry.
108. 5:00I'm saying don't worry. So, that's
109. 5:03because it's a consonant sound followed
110. 5:06by another consonant. And specifically,
111. 5:09it's a stop consonant, which means I
112. 5:12can't hold it. So, with a t sound, I
113. 5:17can't hold it. I can't go
114. 5:21I can't hold it. So, when you've got a
115. 5:22sound like that, if you've got the next
116. 5:26word starting with a consonant, we begin
117. 5:30the sound, but we don't finish it. So,
118. 5:32we say
119. 5:34don't worry. So, we get our tongue in
120. 5:36the right position to make a T, but we
121. 5:38don't release it. Don't worry. Don't
122. 5:41worry.
123. 5:43Don't worry.
124. 5:45Okay. Oh, this is really common.
125. 5:47Give a call when you get home.
126. 5:50Give me a call when you get home.
127. 5:53Give me a call when you get home.
128. 5:56Give me a call. That's really common.
129. 5:58Instead of call me,
130. 6:00you will hear a lot of people saying
131. 6:02give me a call. It just means call me.
132. 6:06So, call me when you get home. Give me a
133. 6:08call when you get home.
134. 6:12Very common to say this in Britain.
135. 6:15I think it's going to rain later.
136. 6:18I think it's going to rain later.
137. 6:21Oh, I think it's going to rain later.
138. 6:24Now,
139. 6:25uh if you are watching the news, they
140. 6:28will say going to.
141. 6:31However, most people, even Prince
142. 6:35Charles, no, King Charles, even Prince
143. 6:39William, they will probably say that,
144. 6:43even in the most perfect modern British
145. 6:47RP. I think it's going to rain later.
146. 6:50I think it's going to rain later.
147. 6:52Gonna is really common. It is not just
148. 6:56something that people say if they are
149. 6:58being really informal. It's super
150. 7:00common. I think it's going to rain
151. 7:02later.
152. 7:05Ooh, now this is a question that a lot
153. 7:07of my students uh get a bit confused
154. 7:10with. What have you been up to?
155. 7:15Up to just means doing. So, if someone
156. 7:19asks you, what are you up to, it just
157. 7:23means doing, okay? So, what have you
158. 7:27been doing today?
159. 7:30What have you been up to today?
160. 7:33What have you been up to today?
161. 7:35What have you been up to today?
162. 7:39Notice how that have gets really
163. 7:42shortened into that.
164. 7:45What have you been up to today?
165. 7:47We wouldn't really hear what have you
166. 7:49been up to today.
167. 7:51What have you been up to today? That's a
168. 7:53really lovely question. If you can learn
169. 7:55that and use that in your everyday
170. 7:57vocabulary, you will be great. Do we
171. 8:00have any questions? Let me know if you
172. 8:03have any questions. If you want to as
173. 8:07well, you can listen to hundreds of
174. 8:09English phrases in our course, 10
175. 8:11conversations, 10 accents. You can find
176. 8:13out more about that course in the
177. 8:15description.
178. 8:16Any questions? So, we've got
179. 8:20uh let's have a look. Have you ever been
180. 8:22to Japan? Yes, I went in October and I
181. 8:26absolutely loved it. It was my favorite
182. 8:30country in the whole wide world that
183. 8:31I've visited. Um I love the nature, I
184. 8:35love the history, I love the food. Oh, I
185. 8:39miss You know what I miss the most? Um
186. 8:42I can't remember what they're called. I
187. 8:43think onigiri? Are they onigiri? Um the
188. 8:46triangles. They're They're like rice um
189. 8:49triangles wrapped in seaweed with a
190. 8:51filling inside. I think about those
191. 8:54every single day.
192. 8:56Um
193. 8:58Greetings from Chile. Happy belated
194. 9:00birthday. Thank you so much. It was my
195. 9:02birthday quite recently. Um so, yeah.
196. 9:06Any other questions? Keep writing them
197. 9:08as I'm going. Write them in the chat and
198. 9:10I will get to them when we get there.
199. 9:12Okay, let's carry on then. Here we go.
200. 9:17I'm starving. Shall we grab something to
201. 9:20eat?
202. 9:22I'm starving. Shall we grab something to
203. 9:24eat?
204. 9:26Oh, I'm starving. Shall we grab
205. 9:28something to eat?
206. 9:29That's how I would say that. Starving is
207. 9:31extremely hungry. Oh, I'm starving.
208. 9:36Shall we only really hear the word shall
209. 9:39when we're talking about like an offer,
210. 9:41a preposition. Shall we go?
211. 9:44Shall we do this?
212. 9:45Shall we grab something to eat? And grab
213. 9:48is pretty common when you're talking
214. 9:49about going to get food as well.
215. 9:53Could you pass me the salt, please?
216. 9:56Could you pass me the salt, please?
217. 10:00Could you pass me the salt, please?
218. 10:03Notice how this kind of becomes like
219. 10:07could
220. 10:08you kind of or kind of like that. Could
221. 10:13you?
222. 10:14Could you? [clears throat]
223. 10:15Could you? Instead of could you? Again,
224. 10:18if I was a news reader, I might say,
225. 10:21"Could you?" But because I'm a normal
226. 10:23person, I say, "Could you?"
227. 10:25Could you pass me the salt, please?
228. 10:29Ooh, this is a nice one.
229. 10:31That seems a bit sketchy to me.
230. 10:35That seems a bit sketchy to me.
231. 10:38Sketchy means unreliable,
232. 10:42untrustworthy,
233. 10:44suspicious.
234. 10:46Ooh, hello motorcycle outside.
235. 10:48Suspicious, a bit not sure if you can
236. 10:52trust it. Like, "Hmm, I don't know. I
237. 10:55don't trust that. That seems a bit
238. 10:58sketchy to me."
239. 11:00That seems a bit sketchy to me.
240. 11:03Okay, next one.
241. 11:06I'm really pleased with how that turned
242. 11:09out.
243. 11:10I'm really pleased with how that turned
244. 11:12out.
245. 11:13I'm really pleased with how that turned
246. 11:16out.
247. 11:17So, how something turned out is how it
248. 11:20was in the end. So, how did it happen at
249. 11:23the end? So,
250. 11:24I'm working on a project
251. 11:27and in the end it was really, really
252. 11:29good. So, it turned out really good.
253. 11:33Oh, nice. Really British.
254. 11:35Are you taking the mic?
255. 11:38Are you taking the mic?
256. 11:40Are you taking the mic?
257. 11:42That means are you insulting me or are
258. 11:46you pretending
259. 11:48or
260. 11:49are you serious? You know, let's say, I
261. 11:52don't know, you offer to drive someone 5
262. 11:56minutes away and they say, oh, actually,
263. 12:00can you drive me an hour? You might say,
264. 12:04are you taking the mic? Are you joking?
265. 12:06Are you Hold on, that's a bit
266. 12:08ridiculous. You're being ridiculous.
267. 12:10You're
268. 12:11you're pretending or you're insulting
269. 12:13me. And that's what taking the mic
270. 12:16means.
271. 12:18I don't mind either way.
272. 12:21I don't mind either way.
273. 12:23I don't mind either way.
274. 12:26A lot of my students ask me, should it
275. 12:29be either or either?
276. 12:31I truly don't think it matters. I think
277. 12:35technically there is a British way and a
278. 12:37US way, but people in the UK say both
279. 12:40versions. I hear either and I do hear
280. 12:43either, so it doesn't really matter.
281. 12:46Just say the one that comes most
282. 12:47naturally to you. It's fine. I say
283. 12:50either. I don't mind either way. That's
284. 12:52what I say.
285. 12:56Ooh.
286. 12:57Let's grab a pint later.
287. 12:59Let's grab a pint later.
288. 13:02Let's grab a pint later.
289. 13:04A pint of beer at the pub. Let's grab
290. 13:09means let's go get one. Let's get a pint
291. 13:12later. Let's have a pint later.
292. 13:16That's nonsense, honestly.
293. 13:19That's nonsense, honestly.
294. 13:23That's nonsense, honestly.
295. 13:25Nonsense means silly, ridiculous. It
296. 13:29makes no sense. She said this, but
297. 13:32that's nonsense. It makes no sense. I
298. 13:35don't believe it.
299. 13:38I'll be there in a minute.
300. 13:40I'll be there in a minute.
301. 13:43I'll be there in a minute.
302. 13:45So, you might be thinking, oh, in modern
303. 13:48RP, we don't pronounce R. So, we say
304. 13:52there. And you're right. There.
305. 13:56There. However, the next word begins
306. 14:01with a vowel sound. So, and this sound
307. 14:05is silent. We don't say that E, do we?
308. 14:07We don't say very. So, we can kind of
309. 14:10pretend that's not there. So, we need to
310. 14:14connect the two by putting the R back
311. 14:17in. So, we say, I'll be there in. There
312. 14:23in.
313. 14:24I'll be there in a minute. I'll be there
314. 14:28in a minute.
315. 14:31Ooh, nice.
316. 14:32I've got a lot on my plate right now.
317. 14:36I've got a lot on my plate right now.
318. 14:39I've got a lot on my plate right now.
319. 14:44If you've got a lot on your plate, it
320. 14:46means you have a lot of tasks and
321. 14:49responsibilities to do. So, you have a
322. 14:52job, you have meetings, you have
323. 14:55children, you have a project that you're
324. 14:57working on, you have blah blah blah.
325. 14:58You've got a lot on your plate. You've
326. 15:00got a lot to do, a lot that you need to
327. 15:02be thinking about. So, your brain is
328. 15:05very occupied.
329. 15:07Okay, any questions? I see some
330. 15:09questions here. Um,
331. 15:11Peter says, question, can't be bothered.
332. 15:15Does it mean that it's annoying, or is
333. 15:17it a neutral expression? Yeah, so if
334. 15:20someone says, I can't be bothered, it's
335. 15:23not really neutral because it's quite an
336. 15:25emotional thing to say. You are saying
337. 15:28that in your, you know, with your amount
338. 15:31of energy, you just don't want to do it.
339. 15:33Oh, I can't be bothered. Oh, I can't be
340. 15:35bothered. So, most of the time I would
341. 15:38say I can't be bothered is negative.
342. 15:41It's pretty, you know, it's not a
343. 15:43neutral thing. So,
344. 15:45oh, I have to do my homework, but I
345. 15:46can't be bothered. Or um I have to go to
346. 15:50work, but I can't be bothered. It's It's
347. 15:52that energy, if that makes sense. So,
348. 15:54it's not extremely um neutral. Okay,
349. 15:59let's carry on. Oh, super common. You
350. 16:02need this phrase, definitely.
351. 16:05I'll see you in a bit.
352. 16:07I'll see you in a bit.
353. 16:09I'll see you in a bit. So, notice how
354. 16:12we're linking everything. I'll see you
355. 16:16in a bit. Now, you might notice that
356. 16:18there's a little sneaky W in there. It
357. 16:21kind of sounds like you win. And that's
358. 16:24because we're going from a U to an I, so
359. 16:28our mouth naturally opens to make a W.
360. 16:31So, if you're going from an O to another
361. 16:33vowel, you will link it with a W.
362. 16:36I'll see you in a bit. I'll see you in a
363. 16:43bit.
364. 16:45That was really kind of you.
365. 16:48That was really kind of you.
366. 16:50That was really kind of you. Kind of
367. 16:56you. A lot of the time of just becomes
368. 16:58kind of like that, of. Kind of you. Kind
369. 17:03of you. That was really kind of you.
370. 17:07Make sure to keep uh writing any
371. 17:08questions that you have, and I will
372. 17:10respond to them um in our next break.
373. 17:15I wasn't expecting that at all. I wasn't
374. 17:19expecting that at all.
375. 17:22I wasn't expecting that at all.
376. 17:26And this sound is longer than people
377. 17:29think.
378. 17:30I think a lot of the time people want to
379. 17:31say like all, but it's all. So, it's a
380. 17:35lot more forward than you think. It's a
381. 17:38lot longer than you think. So, try that
382. 17:40sound with me.
383. 17:41all
384. 17:43all Really forward. all Lovely. I wasn't
385. 17:48expecting that at all. Lovely.
386. 17:53I'll give you a hand with that.
387. 17:56I'll give you a hand with that.
388. 17:59I'll give you a hand with that.
389. 18:02Lovely. So, just like how we had where
390. 18:05was it?
391. 18:07Uh
392. 18:08where is it?
393. 18:10Give me a call instead of call me,
394. 18:14it's really common to say give me a
395. 18:18hand. And that just means help me.
396. 18:22Can you give me a hand? Can you help me?
397. 18:24Can you give me a hand? So, this is the
398. 18:26same thing. I'll give you a hand with
399. 18:28that. It means I'll help you with that.
400. 18:33Can you believe this weather?
401. 18:35Can you believe this weather?
402. 18:38Can you believe this weather?
403. 18:41This is a really common phrase because
404. 18:42we are always talking about the weather,
405. 18:44obviously. So, the key things with this
406. 18:46is this can on its own would be can.
407. 18:52However, in connective connected speech,
408. 18:55it often becomes can.
409. 18:57Can you believe?
410. 18:59Can you believe? Rather than can you
411. 19:02believe? Can you believe? So, in
412. 19:05connected speech it becomes can.
413. 19:07Can you believe this weather?
414. 19:11I'm not feeling great today.
415. 19:14I'm not feeling great today.
416. 19:17I'm not feeling great today.
417. 19:20Again, we've got that
418. 19:21T sound going to another consonant. So,
419. 19:25instead of releasing it and saying great
420. 19:28today, we don't release this first T. We
421. 19:32say great
422. 19:34and we're in the position to make a T,
423. 19:36but we don't release it. Great today.
424. 19:39Great today.
425. 19:42Let's catch up properly soon.
426. 19:45Let's catch up properly soon.
427. 19:48Let's catch up properly soon.
428. 19:51So, that properly, that bit in the
429. 19:53middle is just a
430. 19:55properly.
431. 19:57Not properly or properly.
432. 20:01Properly.
433. 20:02Properly.
434. 20:04And catch up means to talk about news
435. 20:07and things that have happened with you
436. 20:09recently.
437. 20:11I've got no idea what to do.
438. 20:14I've got no idea what to do.
439. 20:18I've got no idea what to do.
440. 20:21Lovely. So, again, no
441. 20:24idea. We're connecting from a no
442. 20:27to another vowel with a wa. No idea. No
443. 20:32idea.
444. 20:34I need to get some fresh air.
445. 20:37I need to get some fresh air.
446. 20:40I need to get some fresh air.
447. 20:42Notice how we're connecting that, so
448. 20:44it's fresh air.
449. 20:46Fresh air. Fresh air. Link whenever you
450. 20:50can. We love to link.
451. 20:53Oh, I love this phrase. It's really
452. 20:55common.
453. 20:56I'm not being funny, but
454. 20:58I'm not being funny, but
455. 21:01I'm not being funny, but
456. 21:04it means like I'm not joking here. Like,
457. 21:07I'm not joking. I want to say something
458. 21:10that is a little bit of a confession.
459. 21:12Maybe it's a bit controversial,
460. 21:15you know, like
461. 21:16uh look, I'm not being funny, but I
462. 21:19deserve a pay rise. Yeah, you that's you
463. 21:22know, that's a a statement I want to say
464. 21:24and I'm being honest about it.
465. 21:26I use that one all the time.
466. 21:28Uh any other questions? Any other
467. 21:30questions? We've got so many amazing
468. 21:32countries. Someone from Brazil. Um who
469. 21:36else have we got?
470. 21:37Uh so there was someone up here from
471. 21:39Chile, very cool. Uh India. Myanmar,
472. 21:45it's just amazing. I can never believe
473. 21:47Oh, someone from Los Angeles, woo. Um
474. 21:51yeah, I can never believe the amount of
475. 21:53different countries. Someone says, do
476. 21:55you know that the world's oldest
477. 21:57language is Tamil? I didn't know that. I
478. 22:01believe you. Maybe it is. I believe you.
479. 22:04Um
480. 22:05Someone else is from Cambodia.
481. 22:07Very cool. Kenya, Korea.
482. 22:11Korea, I can say um annyeonghaseyo. I
483. 22:14think that's hello.
484. 22:16Annyeonghaseyo, lor amida.
485. 22:19I think that's all I know how to say.
486. 22:21Um can you please show us how to
487. 22:22pronounce together properly? Okay.
488. 22:26Together. So that first syllable is like
489. 22:28a schwa, tuh.
490. 22:31Together. So you've got a schwa at the
491. 22:33beginning and the end, tuh. And uh
492. 22:36together.
493. 22:38Together. Lovely. Very good, everybody.
494. 22:41You're doing great. Okay, so more
495. 22:43phrases. We've got
496. 22:45Don't worry, it happens.
497. 22:48Don't worry, it happens.
498. 22:51Don't worry, it happens. You know, I
499. 22:54would say this to someone if they made a
500. 22:56mistake. You go, hey, it happens. That's
501. 22:58okay, don't worry.
502. 23:01I can manage, thanks.
503. 23:04I can manage, thanks.
504. 23:06I can manage, thanks.
505. 23:08Again, that can becomes a can.
506. 23:11>> [clears throat]
507. 23:11>> I can manage.
508. 23:13I can manage. It means I can do this.
509. 23:15I'm okay, but thank you for offering to
510. 23:17help, but I'm okay.
511. 23:21That's exactly what I needed.
512. 23:23That's exactly what I needed.
513. 23:26That's exactly what I needed.
514. 23:29You'll notice with a lot of these
515. 23:30phrases in a modern RP accent, we like
516. 23:33to go down at the end of a phrase. So,
517. 23:37we never really go That's exactly what I
518. 23:40needed. We like to go down. So, um
519. 23:44That's exactly what I needed. We like to
520. 23:47end on a down. So, if you want to sound
521. 23:50even more correct with this accent, try
522. 23:52to make your phrases go down at the end.
523. 23:56I'm just popping out for a bit.
524. 23:58I'm just popping out for a bit.
525. 24:01I'm just popping out for a bit.
526. 24:03Popping out means leaving for a short
527. 24:06amount of time. So, I'm just going to go
528. 24:08out for a short amount of time, and then
529. 24:10I'll be back. So, I'm just going to pop
530. 24:12out, but I'll be back in 10 minutes.
531. 24:17Are you free later on?
532. 24:19Are you free later on?
533. 24:21Are you free later on?
534. 24:24Notice again how I am linking that R,
535. 24:28because yes, normally we don't say the
536. 24:30R, we say later.
537. 24:32But, because the next word starts with a
538. 24:34vowel, I need to say the R. Later on.
539. 24:37Later on. Very good.
540. 24:41That sounds like a good idea.
541. 24:44That sounds like a good idea.
542. 24:47That sounds like a good idea.
543. 24:51Good idea. Again, always linking. It's
544. 24:54not good idea, it's good idea.
545. 24:59I really appreciate it. I really
546. 25:02appreciate it.
547. 25:04I really appreciate it.
548. 25:07So again, really appreciate it. There's
549. 25:10a hidden little ya in here. It's kind of
550. 25:13like that, appreciate.
551. 25:16Yate. I need to hear that ya.
552. 25:19I really appreciate
553. 25:22it.
554. 25:24Ooh, lovely phrase.
555. 25:26It's about time we did that. It's about
556. 25:30time we did that.
557. 25:32It's about time we did that.
558. 25:36It's about time means
559. 25:39it is the time to do that. It It's
560. 25:41almost like we should have done it
561. 25:43before. We should have done it in the
562. 25:45past. It is definitely the right time to
563. 25:49do that. And we do it with the past
564. 25:51tense afterwards. So, it's about time
565. 25:55you watched Titanic. You know, you
566. 25:59should have watched it years ago. This
567. 26:01is the perfect time. It's about time you
568. 26:03watched that. Or it's about time we had
569. 26:07a conversation. It's about time we had a
570. 26:11conversation. We need to have a
571. 26:13conversation right now. This is the
572. 26:14right time. We should have done it in
573. 26:16the past probably.
574. 26:20I'll have a think about it.
575. 26:22I'll have a think about it.
576. 26:25I'll have a think about it.
577. 26:28Again, I'll have a think. It means
578. 26:31exactly the same as I will think. It's
579. 26:34just another way of saying it. I'll have
580. 26:36a think. It's very British. I'll have a
581. 26:39think instead of I'll think.
582. 26:43Let's not rush it.
583. 26:46Let's not rush it.
584. 26:49Let's not rush it.
585. 26:51Self-explanatory. Let's be slow, let's
586. 26:53not rush.
587. 26:57I don't really fancy that.
588. 27:00I don't really fancy that.
589. 27:02I don't really fancy that.
590. 27:05Again, fancy means want or desire. So, I
591. 27:10don't really fancy that means I don't
592. 27:13desire it. I don't want it. So, yeah, we
593. 27:16could have chips, but I don't really
594. 27:18fancy that.
595. 27:21That was really funny. That was really
596. 27:25funny.
597. 27:26That was really funny.
598. 27:32I'm looking forward to it.
599. 27:34I'm looking forward to it.
600. 27:36I'm looking forward to it.
601. 27:39Again, really common phrase. A lot of
602. 27:42these would be great for you to have in
603. 27:44your vocabulary. All of these can be
604. 27:46used every single day.
605. 27:50Can we do it another time?
606. 27:52Can we do it another time?
607. 27:54Can we do it another time?
608. 27:59Again, this has a lot less
609. 28:02sounds in it than you think.
610. 28:04So, the vowels are really relaxed.
611. 28:07Another.
612. 28:10Another.
613. 28:12Really relaxed, not another or another.
614. 28:16Another.
615. 28:18Another time. Another time.
616. 28:23I didn't see that coming.
617. 28:27I didn't see that coming. Poof. I didn't
618. 28:31see that coming.
619. 28:33It means I didn't expect that. I didn't
620. 28:36expect that to be coming. I didn't see
621. 28:39that coming. I am surprised.
622. 28:42That makes sense.
623. 28:44That makes sense.
624. 28:47That makes sense.
625. 28:49Again, that th, that.
626. 28:53If you struggle with your th, when
627. 28:55you're practicing, make them longer.
628. 28:59That makes sense.
629. 29:01That makes sense. If you're not sure if
630. 29:03you're doing it, do it in front of a
631. 29:05mirror and see if you can see your
632. 29:06tongue sticking out.
633. 29:10I'll be with you in a second.
634. 29:12I'll be with you in a second.
635. 29:15I'll be with you in a second.
636. 29:19I'll be with you means I will come and
637. 29:21help you or I will come and listen to
638. 29:24you. I will come to be with you in a
639. 29:26second, in a short moment. Just wait for
640. 29:29me for a minute. I will be with you in a
641. 29:32second.
642. 29:34I need a bit of a break.
643. 29:37I need a bit of a break.
644. 29:39Oh, I need a bit of a break.
645. 29:41Again, notice that bit of a
646. 29:45of a. So, instead of of a, it's more
647. 29:50like
648. 29:51that, like of a.
649. 29:53I need a bit of a break. I need a bit of
650. 29:57a bit of a bit of a. You have to really
651. 30:01fight your instincts to want to say bit
652. 30:04of a bit of a. I need a bit of a break.
653. 30:10Could you give me a hand, please?
654. 30:12Could you give me a hand, please? Have I
655. 30:14done this one already? I feel like we've
656. 30:16done this one. I'm just checking if I've
657. 30:17done this one already.
658. 30:19If If we have, I'll give you a different
659. 30:21one.
660. 30:22Oh, no, we've done could you pass me the
661. 30:23salt. Okay, bit different.
662. 30:26Could you give me a hand, please?
663. 30:29Could you give me a hand, please?
664. 30:32Could you give me a hand, please? It
665. 30:35means can you help me. But, when we ask
666. 30:39a question with could, it just sounds
667. 30:41more indirect, more polite. So, if you
668. 30:45are, you know, wanting to sound really
669. 30:47polite, could you is really nice.
670. 30:50Last one.
671. 30:52That's exactly what I was thinking.
672. 30:55That's exactly what I was thinking.
673. 30:59That's exactly what I was thinking.
