How well do you know English?
2
Well, let's find out with five tricky adjectives that may not mean what you think.
3
I'm Nick from Coffee Break English, and these words can be especially tricky because they look similar to words in other languages.
4
But their meanings in English may be very different.
5
Keep track of your score out of five, and let's see how many can trick you.
6
Now you'll have three seconds to answer each question.
7
Let's go.
8
Here is question one.
9
The Coffee Break English course, Practical English for Real Life, gives you a comprehensive introduction to B1 English.
10
Now, which sentence describes the course?
11
The course is complete, The language is understandable or the teachers are kind.
12
Well, the answer is complete.
13
A. Comprehensive means covering everything or almost everything that you need.
14
And there are actually two traps here.
15
Don't confuse comprehensive with comprehensible, which means possible to understand.
16
And French comprehensive and Spanish and Italian comprensivo can describe a person who is understanding.
17
So a comprehensive English course is an English course which provides lots of information.
18
Okay now on to number two.
19
My son is very brave.
20
Does that mean a he always tells the truth, B.
21
He is always well behaved in school and he's never in trouble. Or C.
22
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
23
Well, this time the answer is C.
24
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
25
Now, German speakers, did you catch that one?
26
In modern German, brav commonly means good or well behaved,
27
especially when we're talking about children or animals.
28
And other languages have a similar word.
29
But brave in English is about having courage.
30
A well -behaved child isn't necessarily a brave child.
31
Okay, this next one catches a lot of learners out.
32
Listen carefully.
33
After months of discussion, their eventual decision was to move abroad.
34
Now, the eventual decision was A.
35
A possible decision, B.
36
A temporary decision, or C.
37
A final decision.
38
Hmm.
39
Well, the answer is C.
40
Eventual refers to the final decision.
41
What happens in the end?
42
Often after some time or some deliberation.
43
Now this is another tricky one because French eventuelle,
44
German eventuelle and Italian eventuelle can refer to something possible or potential.
45
Now let me know if my pronunciation is a bit off with those languages.
46
I'm not a fluent speaker in all of them.
47
Now in English, eventual doesn't mean possible.
48
Think eventual is the final result.
49
Now, two questions left.
50
I tell you, the film was terrific. Was the film A.
51
Really scary, B.
52
Amazing or C.
53
Really strange?
54
Well, this time the answer is B.
55
Amazing.
56
In everyday English, if something is terrific, it's very good. But...
57
This word can seem rather alarming if you speak another language.
58
Italian terrificante, French terrifying and Spanish terrorifico are connected with things that are terrifying or frightening in.
59
So a terrifying holiday?
60
Well that's probably not good.
61
But a terrific holiday?
62
That is excellent.
63
Okay final question.
64
I have a sensitive friend.
65
Which idea describes him?
66
Is it A.
67
He makes practical decisions.
68
B. He is easily affected or upset. Or C.
69
He can predict the future.
70
Well, the answer is B.
71
A sensitive person is easily affected by things emotionally or physically.
72
And be careful not to confuse sensitive with sensible.
73
Check out the other half of this quiz to find out the difference between those two words.
74
And how did you do in this quiz?
75
Let us know your score out of five in the comments.
76
And tell us which of these adjectives surprised you the most?
77
Remember, when an English word looks very similar to a word you already know,
78
don't automatically assume the meaning is the same.
79
Now the next quiz is on your screen now.
80
Watch it for another 5 tricky adjectives.
81
Thanks for watching and until next time, happy coffee breaking.

Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | are connected · is easily affected |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | comprehensible, which means · person who is |
| Möglichkeit mit „might / may“ might/may + Verb – etwas ist möglich, aber nicht sicher | may not mean · may be |
| Present Continuous am/is/are + -ing – etwas, das gerade jetzt oder zurzeit passiert | is understanding · we're talking |
Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 10 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel isn't, don't, I'm. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, deliberation /dɪˌlɪbəˈɹeɪʃən/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, sensitive /ˈsɛn.sɪt.ɪv/, brave /bɹeɪv/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/, quiz /kwɪz/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, trap /tɹæp/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/
- /dʒ/ — stimmhaft, nicht „tsch“: courage /ˈkʌ.ɹɪd͡ʒ/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie comprehensive, tricky, sensitive.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
