Hey guys, welcome to Lingo Marina.

Today we're gonna work on improving your speaking skills.

To do this, I've created several examples of small talk and your task is to watch,

listen, and repeat phrases.

This is one of the best ways to improve your accent and also learn new phrases.

And by the way, small talk is something very essential that happens in the English speaking culture.

We start most of our conversations with small talk,

Talking about the weather, talking about recent events,

discussing news, and learning how to engage in small talk can be essential

if you're planning to do business or live in an English-speaking country.

Let's start with small talk number one,

and let's talk about the weather.

Ooh, it looks like there is a storm brewing.

This is an idiomatic expression,

which means there is going to be a storm.

A storm is brewing.

I'm afraid so.

The sky is overcast.

The sky is completely covered with clouds and there is not much light.

Gosh, I am so tired of this.

We've been having rainy weather for more than a week now.

Actually, I like when it's drizzling.

Drizzling means raining lightly or that time right after it's stopped raining.

The air is so fresh, the streets are empty.

Perfect.

Ah, no. I can't relate.

I hate it when it's freezing or even chilly.

Chilly means uncomfortably cool or cold.

Fair enough.

So you prefer hot weather to cold?

We say fair enough when we agree to something that's acceptable.

It's okay to not like cold weather.

Fair enough?

Absolutely.

Then you should definitely move south, away from the city.

I'd love to, and maybe I will end up living by the beach someday,

but not today unfortunately.

Well, spring is coming so you won't have to endure bad weather for much longer.

Endure means to suffer from something patiently.

Fingers crossed.

Means I'm hoping that it's gonna be warm soon.

Hey Mia, long time no see.

I love this expression.

Long time no see means I haven't seen you for a while.

Hi, how have you been?

Amazing, I've just come back from my vacation.

Really, where'd you go?

I've always wanted to go to Florida,

so we booked our flights and went for three weeks.

That is so cool.

I need more details.

Did you like it?

Yeah, we had enough time to go to the ocean.

I had some photo shoots from my Instagram, loved it.

The vibe.

I love saying Florida vibes, New York vibes.

The vibe means the atmosphere that you can feel when you're coming to this place.

The food, people, everything was amazing.

Florida is definitely a must-see state.

A must-see means everybody has to visit.

You know what?

I've never thought about going there,

but maybe I should give it a try.

You should definitely consider visiting it.

I'm already counting down the days,

waiting, till our next trip to Florida in October.

Okay, enough about me.

How's everything?

Do you have any vacation plans?

Now the next conversation is going to be a bit more informal.

You're going to encounter a bit more slang and cool words that a lot of teenagers use,

a lot of people on TikTok use.

So it's really important to know them these days.

Damn girl, you went to Coachella this year?

Damn girl's like, wow.

Coachella is this big music festival in Palm Springs

that a lot of people go to and dress up and enjoy the music.

Oh yeah, you went too, right?

No, I couldn't make it, unfortunately.

How was it?

Amazing, so fun.

Was it your first time there?

No, it was my third time.

I love music, what can I say?

You use the phrase, what can I say,

when there is nothing to add.

You know, I love music and this is all you need to justify going to Coachella every single year.

Me too, concerts are my favorite.

Which performance did you like the best?

Now I use which to ask this question because we're talking about Coachella

and we have a set of performances that took place there and I'm asking which of those performances you like the best.

Hard to say.

I guess Harry Styles.

I've never paid attention to him but this concert hit differently.

So you experience something that conveys a different emotion than before.

It was a vibe.

Means there was energy that everyone was feeling.

If you like the event,

you can say it was a vibe.

100

I heard it was an absolute blast.

101

To be a blast means to be a very enjoyable experience.

102

This party was a blast.

103

Coachella was a blast.

104

Beyond doubt.

105

Another great expression to know.

106

Have you ever been to any music festivals?

107

The next one is going to be about baseball.

108

The thing is, the thing is everyone loves to chat about baseball I'm not a baseball fan

109

but it just makes sense to learn a little bit about baseball

110

because everybody's gonna be asking you are you watching the game tonight are you going to see

111

that game

112

so people ask me all the time I really need to develop a habit of following baseball events

113

but I'm not there yet but let's learn some vocabulary and some phrases related to baseball.

114

Nice jersey.

115

Jersey is something you wear as a baseball player

116

but apparently fans are also buying jerseys with their favorite team's logos so they can show what team they're supporting.

117

Okay guys because I'm not a baseball fan I don't have a jersey,

118

any jerseys, so I'm just gonna show you what it looks like

119

And imagine I'm wearing it for the purpose of this dialogue.

120

Oh, thanks.

121

Are you into baseball as well?

122

Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.

123

Not true in real life.

124

I'm just making this up for the purpose of this video.

125

What team do you root for?

126

To root for a team means to support a team.

127

Go Dodgers.

128

This is how you support your team.

129

Go Dodgers.

130

Go Linguam Arena.

131

Go English language learners.

132

Yay.

133

Yeah.

134

Are you going to see their game next week?

135

I'm not sure yet.

136

But I'd love to, I haven't bought a ticket yet, so who knows?

137

Who knows is a great expression.

138

Who knows?

139

Oh, one of my friends canceled.

140

And I have an extra ticket.

141

Do you want to join me?

142

That'd be amazing.

143

144

145

146

147

So what do you think?

148

Who's the greatest dodger of all time?

149

hi uh do you know how to get to the second session conferences usually take place in huge conference halls

150

and it's really hard to navigate like i'm almost always lost

151

when i'm at a conference because there are so many buildings

152

and you have to find your way by yourself hi yes

153

follow me i was just about to head there to head

154

there means to go there oh great thank you it's my first time here

155

and i'm amazed by the topics covered here i've also met

156

so many ingenious people ingenious means talented clever

157

and i even had a lively debate with someone about the

158

future of education oh this is a very controversial issue indeed

159

what's your take on the conference what's your take on something

160

what do you think about the conference i'm having a similar experience So it's my fourth conference.

161

I'm one of the speakers this time,

162

so I'm a little on edge.

163

On edge means nervous.

164

Wow, you're speaking.

165

That's great.

166

What's the topic?

167

Predefining education in 2022.

168

No way!

169

No way is a phrase that you use when you're super excited about something.

170

No way!

171

This is one of the sessions I'm most excited about.

172

And I really wanted to discuss some critical issues with the speaker.

173

Well, I'm sure we'll find some time to discuss it.

174

Now for the next dialogue,

175

let's focus more on compliments.

176

This is what I love.

177

This is what people here love a lot.

178

And in general, giving compliments makes our lives better.

179

Let's practice.

180

Your outfit is lit.

181

It means it's great.

182

I've been looking for the same jacket for ages.

183

Where'd you get it?

184

Thank you so much.

185

I bought it at Macy's in New York,

186

but I'm pretty sure you can find a similar one here.

187

Ah, I see.

188

I should pop into their store someday.

189

Definitely.

190

They have a whole bunch of jackets, different colors, designs.

191

You'll find something.

192

My stylist recommended this jacket and the quality is the best.

193

I am dying to see their collections.

194

So you work with a personal stylist?

195

Yes, and I love it.

196

No more problems with shopping.

197

Exactly.

198

I once purchased this expensive purse in Paris,

199

but it is so stylish,

200

so it's really hard for me to wear it with my ordinary outfits.

201

It's actually a great idea to have a personal stylist.

202

That's what stylists are for.

203

They help us look our best without spending too much time on it.

204

Definitely.

205

Thank you guys so much for watching this video up to the very end.

206

If you want to reduce your accent and learn more phrases,

207

first of all, watch this video once again and repeat more phrases.

208

Second, we have a course that is called Speak Like an American where we dig deeper into how Americans actually speak,

209

what they do with their mouth,

210

and this is all explained by non-native speakers,

211

and I think that learning how to speak like an American from people who actually went through that challenge.

212

I had my Russian accent,

213

Vena, who's the teacher, had his Russian accent.

214

We were born and raised in Russia.

215

I lived there for 25 years.

216

He lived there for 20 years,

217

and it took us a while to master American accent,

218

but because we did it,

219

it just proves that it is possible to do it.

220

It is possible to get rid of your accent and start sounding more like an American.

221
