Welcome back to another episode of British English Pod with me,
2
Lewis, and this week's topic is all about space.
3
But to get started, I want to tell you a joke, a pun, a dad joke.
4
Are you ready?
5
How do you organize a party in space?
6
How do you organize a party in space? hmm you plan it plan it a planet
7
once again welcome back and tell me what did you think of that dad joke that bad joke
8
Did you like it or not?
9
Please leave a thumbs up if you enjoyed that joke.
10
And well, if you'd like me to keep telling you some terrible jokes that'll have you cracking up.
11
To crack up is to laugh.
12
So hopefully that joke cracked you up.
13
It had you in stitches.
14
And if you are in stitches, it means you are laughing out loud so yeah
15
if you'd like me to tell you more bad jokes then let me know in the comments
16
and um how are you guys how's it going how's life
17
it's a pleasure to be back here once again i've just had a shower and i've just had a shave as well
18
And what I normally do is I shave, give or take, once a week.
19
When my stubble starts to get a little bit prickly,
20
then I usually use an electric razor and I also use a wet razor as well.
21
And that way, now, I look like a baby.
22
but you'll have seen that sometimes I do like to grow my mustache
23
and I must ask you a question are you interested in space do you ever think about
24
if there is life on other planets because as I said, the topic of the week is all about space.
25
And this is the topic that we've been discussing in my group classes and private classes.
26
And some people are fascinated by space and other people, to be honest, they don't really care.
27
They don't really have any interest in space.
28
And I'm kind of in the middle.
29
And it's partly because I think that during my lifetime, I'm never going to leave planet Earth.
30
It might sound obvious, but there are certain people,
31
certain billionaires or astronauts who will be able to leave planet
32
Earth and go to the moon, to Mars, to Saturn, to Jupiter.
33
But you know, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat.
34
I'm a bit of a chicken.
35
So even if I had the opportunity to go in a rocket or a spaceship to see planet
36
Earth from hundreds and thousands of kilometers away, I think I'd chicken out.
37
I'd be too scared so I wouldn't want to do it.
38
If I sometimes get very, very nervous when I'm flying,
39
imagine how I would feel if I was about to go into orbit wearing a spacesuit.
40
It doesn't seem like it would be up my street.
41
A nice expression there.
42
If something is up your street, it means it's something that you like, something that you're interested in.
43
Football, for me is up my street.
44
It's right up my street.
45
But let's begin with the topic.
46
And how I'd like to begin is by telling you some facts and interesting pieces of information related to space.
47
And I'm going to be learning whilst you are learning
48
because I'm no expert when it comes to space or any of the topics that I end up discussing on the podcast.
49
So, of course, I look up information online, I ask AI or I Google it,
50
and that way I can learn whilst hopefully you are learning at the same time.
51
Fingers crossed that is the case.
52
So the first interesting fact that I'm going to tell you is space is completely silent,
53
completely silent, because sound needs particles like air to travel through.
54
And since space is almost a vacuum,
55
astronauts can't hear explosions or other sounds unless they are transmitted through radio.
56
Oh, amazing, isn't it?
57
That's mind -blowing that astronauts, they can't hear anything unless it is transmitted through radio.
58
Did you know it?
59
I doubt it.
60
I definitely didn't know it.
61
Now, the second fact is that there are more stars than grains of sand on Earth.
62
There are more stars than grains of sand on Earth.
63
Hmm, let me explain.
64
Astronomers estimate there are around 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way alone,
65
and potentially hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. So many stars.
66
And when we look up at night and we see different stars, especially if you're in the countryside, it's fascinating.
67
It's so impressive.
68
Thinking about all of these stars, which are essentially planets.
69
So yeah, there are more stars than grains of sand on Earth.
70
Madness.
71
Crazy.
72
Did you know it?
73
Maybe you did.
74
Or maybe you could have made an educated guess.
75
Now, number three.
76
Looking into space is looking into the past.
77
Hmm?
78
What?
79
Yeah.
80
Looking into space is looking into the past.
81
I'm sure you're thinking, Lewis, what are you on about?
82
What are you talking about?
83
Allow me to explain.
84
The light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach Earth.
85
So when you look at the sun, you're seeing it as it was eight minutes ago.
86
So some galaxies are so far away that their light began its journey billions of years before humans existed.
87
It's incredible, isn't it?
88
So yeah, light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach Earth.
89
So whenever we look at space, we're looking into the past.
90
Amazing, isn't it?
91
now let's do another couple of facts then we'll move on to some expressions
92
and keep having a chat so the next fact the fourth fact is
93
that earth is traveling incredibly fast earth is traveling incredibly fast i guess you already had an idea of this
94
but earth rotates at about 1 ,670 kilometers per hour at the equator
95
and orbits the sun at roughly 10700 ,000 kilometers per hour.
96
Yet we don't feel it because everything around us is moving at the same speed.
97
so we're constantly moving the whole galaxy the milky way is constantly moving
98
so so fast but we're unconscious of this we're unaware of this because everything is moving at the same time.
99
It's crazy.
100
Absolutely crazy.
101
Now I'm going to tell you one other fact.
102
Let's go with, for example, it's about Saturn.
103
So Saturn, the planet, would float in water.
104
A planet would float in water.
105
Again, Lewis, what are you on about?
106
What are you talking about?
107
Well, although it is enormous,
108
huge, gigantic, Saturn has an average density lower than water.
109
So its average density is lower than water.
110
So if, hypothetically speaking, you could find a bathtub large enough,
111
Saturn would float because it is less dense than water.
112
I doubt we will ever find a bathtub that is big enough to fit Saturn inside.
113
But hypothetically speaking, it would float in water.
114
Now tell me, do you know any other interesting facts related to space or aliens?
115
If so, please share them in the comments.
116
And from there, I'm going to start sharing my screen.
117
First of all, with an image of Chewbacca.
118
Chewie!
119
and my question is simple are you a fan of science
120
fiction are you keen on sci -fi do you like sci -fi well in my case yeah
121
i i quite like sci -fi i quite like science fiction now of course the image
122
that you might be able to see is related to star wars
123
and i'm quite a big star wars fan but I wouldn't say I am obsessed.
124
So I know all of the main characters.
125
I've watched all of the Star Wars films and some of the series that they've got on Disney+.
126
And I thoroughly enjoy watching all of these films.
127
Of course, the level, the quality goes up and down.
128
Many people say that, Well, the originals are the best.
129
The original Star Wars films with Luke and Darth Vader, well, they are the best ones.
130
And they are way before their time.
131
If something is before its time, it means that it was more advanced than the era that we were living in back then.
132
And it's true, because many people can watch
133
Star Wars nowadays and still appreciate these old films, and still even say that they are better than the modern versions.
134
But you see, I'm a fan.
135
I like sci -fi.
136
I also like
137
Star Trek and other different films related to sci -fi, like Interstellar, for example because it gets you thinking
138
and it almost allows you to imagine the impossible
139
and to think about wow what if we were able to travel in space
140
that would be amazing so it gets your imagination going
141
so i am definitely a fan of sci -fi but i'm not really a geek i'm not really a nerd.
142
Because if you watch series like
143
The Big Bang Theory, you'll notice that they are obsessed with Star Wars, Star Trek, all of these comics,
144
and I've never been that much of a geek.
145
I've never been that much of a nerd.
146
I've mentioned on the podcast in the past
147
that growing up I was a huge fan of pokemon
148
and i was a bit nerdy or geeky when it came to pokemon
149
but with star wars you know i like it
150
and i enjoy it but i never had posters of star wars but that being said
151
As I also mentioned recently, I did kind of have a crush on Padme,
152
who was Natalie Portman in the Star Wars films.
153
So I had a crush on her.
154
I liked her.
155
I was attracted to her.
156
So that is the first question.
157
But now let's look at some space -related expressions because, like with every single topic,
158
there are always expressions which are related to these.
159
And in class this week, we have been reviewing all of these expressions.
160
As always, if you'd like to join my group classes or private classes, there is a link in the video description. But let's match them.
161
So, on the left, you have eight different advanced words or phrases,
162
And on the right, in a random order, you have these synonyms.
163
and a couple of them are quite similar.
164
So watch out, look out, be careful.
165
The first one is, it's not rocket science.
166
It's not rocket science.
167
And if somebody says that something isn't rocket science, all they're saying is, it's not complicated.
168
It's not hard.
169
It's not difficult.
170
Don't worry so much about it.
171
It's not rocket science.
172
The second expression is the sky's the limit.
173
The sky's the limit.
174
Hmm.
175
What does it mean if I say the sky's the limit?
176
Well, it means that there are no limits to success.
177
If, for example, you want to become a professional athlete, or you want to set up your own business,
178
somebody might encourage you by saying, you can do it.
179
The sky's the limit.
180
It means that there is no limit.
181
The sky's the limit.
182
After that, we have over the moon.
183
Oh, right now I am over the moon because the sun has just come out.
184
And when I started recording, it was cloudy.
185
So I'm over the moon.
186
I'm ecstatic.
187
Being over the moon is another way of saying that you are very happy.
188
I am over the moon.
189
The fourth expression is a phrasal verb, in fact and it is to space out.
190
This could happen to you when you're in a class
191
and you've got a lot on your mind and you keep getting distracted.
192
You're daydreaming.
193
You might just for a second space out
194
and then maybe the teacher would look at you and ask you a question and be like,
195
hey, hey, hey, are you listening to me? Because you spaced out.
196
So spacing out is getting distracted or not paying attention.
197
I spaced out during the class.
198
Then we have reach for the stars.
199
Reach for the stars, do -do, cram every mountain high and reach for the stars.
200
It's a famous song.
201
I don't know if you know it or not.
202
But this one is similar to saying that the sky is the limit.
203
Reaching for the stars is aiming very high because the stars are above us in space.
204
And if you're reaching for it, you're trying to grab it.
205
You're trying to achieve it.
206
So you're aiming very high.
207
I told my friend not to be afraid and to reach for the stars.
208
Then we have a relatively common one.
209
It is once in a blue moon.
210
Once in a blue moon.
211
I go swimming once in a blue moon.
212
I don't do it very often.
213
I do it very rarely.
214
I go swimming once in a blue moon
215
Perfect, now we have the seventh expression
216
Which is written in the stars
217
If something is written in the stars
218
It is destined to happen
219
It's destiny, it's fate
220
It is written in the stars
221
perhaps with a child prodigy who has an insane talent for singing you could say
222
that her fame was written in the stars it was bound to happen since she was a little girl
223
now we have the final one which is to come back down to earth
224
which is a way of saying returning to reality, returning to the real world.
225
Maybe somebody is dreaming about a very, very difficult future.
226
And when they realize that it's not possible, they come back down to earth.
227
They come back down to earth.
228
So to recap, we have, it's not rocket science.
229
It's easy.
230
The sky's the limit, there are no limits
231
Over the moon, very happy Space out.
232
Stop paying attention.
233
Reach for the stars is to aim very high.
234
Once in a blue moon is not very often.
235
If it's written in the stars, it's destined to happen.
236
And coming back down to earth is returning to reality.
237
So let's do a gap fill.
238
Let's see if you're able to fill in the gaps.
239
So, I'll read the sentence twice.
240
The first time, I will beep when we get to the expression, and the second time, I'll read it with the correct answer.
241
Are you ready?
242
Steady?
243
Let's go!
244
So, I was mmm when my favourite team won the match.
245
I was over the moon when my favourite team won the match.
246
Over the moon.
247
Very happy.
248
Next.
249
You don't need a tutorial for this app.
250
It's mmm.
251
Hmm, you don't need a tutorial for this app, it is not rocket science,
252
it's easy, it's not rocket science.
253
After that, sometimes during long meetings I completely,
254
ugh, sometimes during long meetings I completely space out.
255
I lose focus.
256
I get distracted.
257
I space out.
258
The fourth one.
259
My parents always told me to hmm and follow my dreams.
260
My parents always told me to reach for the stars and follow my dreams they told me to aim high,
261
to try to achieve my goals.
262
Reach for the stars, climb every mountain high and reach for the stars.
263
I'm gonna have to look up who sang that song.
264
Now, next, the fifth one is, we go to fancy restaurants only, hmm, because they're expensive.
265
We go to fancy restaurants only once in a blue moon because they're expensive.
266
We don't go very often.
267
We go once in a blue moon.
268
Then we have, after becoming famous overnight, he needed to mmm a bit.
269
Mmm.
270
After becoming famous overnight, he needed to come back down to earth a bit to return to reality.
271
He came back down to earth.
272
Now the penultimate one.
273
They met by chance on holiday, and it felt like it was, hmm.
274
They met by chance on holiday, and it felt like it was written in the stars.
275
It was meant to be.
276
It was destiny.
277
It was written in the stars.
278
And finally, number eight, if you keep practicing your English every day,
279
hmm, I don't even remember.
280
What was the answer?
281
Let's find out.
282
If you keep practicing your English every day, the sky's the limit.
283
Of course, the sky is the limit.
284
There is no limit if you keep practicing your English every day.
285
The sky's the limit, guys.
286
So keep it up.
287
Keep training your English.
288
And well, I hope that you find this podcast very useful to keep improving your English.
289
And I'm going to get a little bit distracted here.
290
Maybe I'm spacing out a little bit.
291
But when I was studying languages at university and when I was learning them independently,
292
I loved listening to language podcasts, and there weren't anywhere near as many as there are today.
293
And I wish I had started this podcast many years ago, a decade ago, but I didn't.
294
I didn't take advantage of my ideas at that time.
295
But since becoming my own boss, I told myself that I need to reach for the stars because the sky's the limit.
296
And this kind of podcast is exactly what I wanted to find in Spanish, Italian, or French.
297
And I know there are great podcasts in different languages.
298
There are other great language learning podcasts in English.
299
But yeah, I hope you do find these podcasts useful.
300
Of course, it's free for you.
301
So hopefully you appreciate that.
302
And yeah, hopefully I will continue to do this podcast in the very, very long term.
303
Maybe I'll do it forever.
304
You might see me in 50 years when I'm, oh, how old will I be?
305
In 50 years, I will be 83 years old.
306
Maybe I'll still be doing the podcast then.
307
Or perhaps there will be an artificial intelligence version of me looking really, really young, continuing to do it.
308
That's the other option.
309
Now let's keep going and let's use some of these expressions in conversation,
310
because next, now sharing my screen once again,
311
we've got eight different conversation questions to encourage you and force you to use them in context.
312
So I'll choose some and answer.
313
The first one.
314
When was the last time you were over the moon about something?
315
When was the last time you were over the moon about something?
316
Now I might sound a little bit like a broken record, someone who repeats themselves a lot,
317
but the last time I was over the moon about something was about six weeks ago
318
when my football team leads united beat manchester united away in manchester
319
and at that moment we were in danger of getting relegated of being demoted to the second division
320
and out of nowhere we played incredibly and we beat man united
321
so i was oh i was over the moon I was on cloud nine in that moment.
322
What about you?
323
When was the last time you were over the moon on cloud nine about something?
324
Number two, what's something that is difficult for some people, but not rocket science for you?
325
something that's difficult for some people but not rocket science for me is navigation
326
so knowing where i am when i'm traveling or walking around a city
327
and knowing which direction to go in i don't have many talents in life
328
but this is one of the things that i'm abnormally good at, or at least with my friends and my fiance,
329
I realized that I'm quite good at knowing which street I'm on, how far I need to keep walking to get to the next destination.
330
I'm able to, well, find my way home, even if I haven't got
331
Wi -Fi or my Google Maps isn't working.
332
And I know that some people do struggle with this, that they get lost or they lose their bearings and they don't know where they are.
333
But for me, it's not rocket science.
334
It's pretty easy not to get lost and to be able to orient myself and navigate so I don't get lost.
335
Next, do you ever space out when people are talking to you.
336
And when does it usually happen?
337
Yes, this does happen.
338
And it actually happened last weekend.
339
So last weekend, I went to the beach with a few friends.
340
They're all Spanish.
341
So we were speaking in Spanish all of the time.
342
And even though my Spanish is really good,
343
There are still moments when maybe other people are explaining different things.
344
Perhaps I don't understand some cultural references, or I haven't heard of the celebrities that they're mentioning, or I don't know.
345
some historical references.
346
And when they're having a chat and having a conversation
347
and I'm not really following it because maybe I'm not interested
348
and I don't want to try to focus on the content of what they're saying.
349
Well, I space out.
350
And last weekend, in particular, in the back of the car, driving from the beach back home,
351
I was realizing that they were having a conversation and I was kind of excluded from the conversation.
352
I was left out.
353
Because I wanted to be left out, I was tired and I wanted to kind of close my eyes.
354
But I realized that I wasn't quite following.
355
I was spacing out because it was just something that I didn't care about or I didn't quite understand.
356
So yeah, I'm sure this happens to you as well.
357
If you're immersed in English for a long time, then it's normal that sometimes you space out.
358
Now, I'm going to skip a couple of the next questions and I'm going to choose one more.
359
Hmm.
360
Let's go with, have you ever met someone and felt it was written in the stars?
361
It was destiny.
362
Have I ever met someone and felt it was written in the stars?
363
Well, possibly.
364
So, as you know, I have an application which you can download on the App Store or Google Play.
365
It's called English with Lewis.
366
And recently, we've given it a new design and added additional features.
367
And it looks really, really cool.
368
So if you haven't already downloaded it, you can download it and try it completely for free.
369
And this is not completely my business.
370
I share it with my business partner.
371
And, well, we have 50 % of the business each.
372
He was in charge of developing the app, maintaining the app, fixing any bugs or issues that there are.
373
And he knows a lot about AI and applications in general.
374
And how we met, you could say, was written in the stars because he's from Paris, he's from France.
375
And I have a friend here in Brussels who is also from Paris.
376
And we get on really well.
377
We get on like a house on fire.
378
And my French friend here in Brussels has another friend who is now my business partner.
379
And I remember talking to him about the possibility of creating an app, thinking that in the long term, it could be a really,
380
really interesting and exciting business to have.
381
I had always dreamt about having my own app at the same time and with the app,
382
there is the possibility of getting income without having to work a lot more in terms of teaching.
383
So the fact that I was already thinking about this and Eric, my business partner, had the perfect profile for this kind of role.
384
When we met and we were having a chat about my ideas and intentions, I did think to myself,
385
wow, I've just got really lucky here.
386
I was so lucky to have met this person because he has the perfect profile that I'm terrible at these things,
387
but this is his expertise.
388
So for me, I don't usually believe in destiny, but I'd say us meeting, getting together, was written in the stars.
389
Awesome.
390
Now, let's go back to basics.
391
Do you know all of the planets in the universe? Of course, you know
392
Mars and Earth.
393
But do you know the order of the planets?
394
This is something that we all study at primary school even.
395
So we should know it off by heart, shouldn't we?
396
But do you?
397
Because when I was creating this lesson plan, I was realizing and hesitating, thinking, oh, what comes first?
398
Is it Saturn or Neptune?
399
Is it Mercury or Venus?
400
I was a little bit lost to tell you the truth.
401
So let's go through it together.
402
If you are watching the video, you will see that here we can see our solar system.
403
On the left, you can see the enormous, all -powerful sun.
404
Then, what is the closest planet to the sun?
405
Well, the closest planet to the sun is Mercury.
406
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.
407
After that, what comes next?
408
What is the second closest planet to the sun?
409
It is Venus.
410
Venus is the second closest planet to the sun.
411
Then, of course, it is planet Earth.
412
Oops, it is planet Earth.
413
And after that, we have Mars.
414
So Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
415
What goes after Mars?
416
It is Jupiter.
417
Jupiter.
418
And after Jupiter, we have Saturn.
419
Exactly.
420
The one that could fit in a bathtub and float.
421
And after Saturn, it is Uranus.
422
Uranus.
423
And then, after Uranus, we have Neptune.
424
Neptune.
425
And finally, I know this is a bit controversial, and nowadays people don't class it as a planet.
426
But for me, it will always be a planet.
427
And my favorite planet, it is Pluto.
428
So Pluto is the furthest planet from the sun in our solar system, at least.
429
So there you have the planets.
430
And for you, is Pluto still a planet or not?
431
For me, it definitely is.
432
Pluto should always still be a planet.
433
Now, from there, let's keep having a chat.
434
Indeed, let's keep having a chat.
435
Let's keep discussing some questions.
436
And just to let you know that I just had a power cut.
437
I just had a blackout.
438
I noticed that there was a beep from my fridge and I thought, hmm, something's up here.
439
And then I saw that my Wi -Fi stopped working and I started panicking a little bit.
440
And I was like, oh no, I was right at the end of the podcast.
441
I had almost finished the podcast, but luckily everything that I recorded was saved.
442
So this is the final section of the pod
443
that I have added so that hopefully it is seamless and nice and smooth.
444
But where was I?
445
What was I saying?
446
I believe we were just about to go over some final questions.
447
So here you have the questions.
448
Some of them are quite advanced and difficult to discuss.
449
But let's go with the first one.
450
What fascinates you most about space exploration?
451
Well, I'm not too bothered and too interested about space exploration,
452
to be honest, because I see it as something that I'm never going to do.
453
And it would be absolutely incredible if we discovered that there was life on other planets and maybe in the distant,
454
distant future, my children or grandchildren could possibly travel to Mars.
455
That's a cool thing to think about.
456
But for me, I don't think we're going to discover life on other planets
457
and I don't think we will be able to travel to these planets anytime soon.
458
So it's great to see images of the Earth from above and to see what it looks like.
459
Also, I think gravity is an interesting phenomenon that
460
when you are looking at astronauts in a spaceship and you see them floating around, that is fascinating.
461
That looks so fun.
462
And I would love to see and feel what it feels like without gravity, so you can float around.
463
But another thing that I'm thinking of right now is how incredibly advanced we were 60 years ago.
464
And I know governments, in particular governments of the United States and the Soviet Union,
465
invested a lot of money into space exploration back in the 50s and 60s.
466
And the first astronaut to step foot on the moon was,
467
I believe, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
468
And do you remember the quote that Neil Armstrong said? when he stepped foot on the moon.
469
It's a great quote, so I'll tell you.
470
It is.
471
This is one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.
472
Let me repeat.
473
This is one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.
474
And it's true, because for him in that moment, it was just one step one little step and he was on the moon.
475
But this was representing a huge jump, huge progress for mankind, for humanity.
476
And it is fascinating that we were able to do that.
477
And of course, other people have landed on the moon since, but not that many.
478
So it's kind of maybe disappointing that we haven't continued to progress
479
and advance quite as much to get human beings onto Mars,
480
but I'm sure it will happen at some point in the future.
481
Now, I'm going to skip the next question, but what about the fourth one?
482
Should space exploration be prioritized over solving Earth's problems?
483
Hmm.
484
Now this is where it gets a bit controversial, because on planet
485
Earth, there are so many issues, so many problems.
486
We have climate change.
487
We have poverty.
488
We have natural disasters.
489
We have such inequality.
490
And I think if we worked a little bit harder, we would be able to at least make these problems less noticeable.
491
So, that's why it's a little bit frustrating when, for example, you see certain billionaires like
492
Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk prioritizing space exploration over paying taxes or giving more money to charity.
493
So, personally, I think we should focus on planet
494
Earth a lot more than on different planets.
495
Because planet Earth is the perfect planet for us.
496
We can breathe well.
497
We have nature.
498
We have food.
499
We have everything.
500
So maybe we don't need to explore space quite as much.
501
Or at least make sure that planet
502
Earth is perfect and safe and fair.
503
And then we could have a look into exploring other planets.
504
That's what I think.
505
And now the final question.
506
Do you think there is life beyond Earth?
507
And let us know in the comments.
508
Do you think there is life beyond Earth?
509
I'm not sure.
510
I definitely don't think there are aliens.
511
I don't think there are like humanoid aliens or aliens
512
that look like octopus or birds or sea creatures
513
that are going to come over to planet earth and destroy our planet and make us all slaves.
514
I think that's just sci -fi.
515
I think that's just science fiction, to be honest.
516
But I don't want to rule out the fact that we might be able to find water on different planets.
517
And if we find water on other planets, then it means there could be life in the form of flowers,
518
insects maybe even, or small creatures.
519
And this would be a groundbreaking discovery.
520
If we ever discovered real life on other planets, I think that would be a game changer.
521
It would change the way that everybody feels about space exploration.
522
And to be honest, I think a lot of people would be excited, but a lot of people would be nervous as well,
523
thinking that, uh -oh, maybe aliens are going to come and take over our planet.
524
So that's what I think.
525
I think it's very, very unlikely that...
526
And I'll see you later.
527
aliens are going to be discovered, but you never know.
528
Maybe some water or small creatures or flowers.
529
And on that note, we're going to wrap it up and finish with this week's podcast all about space.
530
And I hope you liked the bad joke at the beginning, the facts about space, and the expressions as always.
531
So thank you everybody for listening or watching, and I'll see you next time.
532
Bye -bye.

|---|---|
| المضارع التام المستمر have/has been + -ing — حدث بدأ سابقًا وما زال مستمرًا | we've been discussing · have been reviewing |

نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 141 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل I'm, don't, you're. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: smooth /smuːð/, bother /ˈbɑðɚ/, breathe /bɹiːð/, seventh /ˈsɛvənθ/, athlete /ˈæθ.liːt/

أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, exploration /ˌɛkspləˈɹeɪʃən/, explore /ɪkˈsploɹ/, skip /skɪp/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: controversial /ˌkɑn.tɹəˈvɝ.ʃəl/, gravity /ˈɡɹævɪti/, overnight /əʊvə(ɹ)ˈnaɪt/, shave /ˈʃeɪ̯v/, impressive /ɪmˈpɹɛsɪv/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, float /fləʊt/, exploration /ˌɛkspləˈɹeɪʃən/, astronaut /ˈæstɹəˌnɔt/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ردّد جملة جملة بالسرعة العادية، وكرّر كل جملة حتى يتطابق إيقاعك مع المتحدث.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل podcast, rocket, float.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
