Are you ready to think and speak in English today?

Let's do it.

If you've ever watched an English movie or TV show, I'm sure you've heard people ask, hey, hun, how was your day?

But have you ever asked this question to yourself?

If not, that changes today.

Over the next 30 minutes, you are going to be immersing yourself in English

and learning how to describe your daily routine and your vacations in English

so that you can think in English and speak in English.

And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet for you with all of today's important vocabulary,

expressions, ideas, definitions, sample sentences.

And at the bottom of the worksheet, you can answer Vanessa's challenge question so that you never forget what you've learned.

You can click on the link in the description to download that free PDF worksheet today.

All right, let's get started by talking about your daily routine

and a phrase that you can use to talk about the beginning of your day.

If I'm lucky, first thing in the morning, I'll hear my alarm, maybe push snooze and get up slowly.

But if I'm not lucky, I'll hear one of my children screaming, mommy, and I have to get out of bed first thing.

I used this expression first thing two times.

The first time was at the beginning of a phrase.

first thing in the morning.

Make sure that you don't add first of the things or first of the, it's only first thing.

First thing in the morning, I hear my alarm.

Or we could use it at the end of a phrase like you just heard me say.

I might say, I wake up and make coffee first thing.

I make coffee first thing.

Actually, for me, I don't make coffee.

I don't even know if I know how to make coffee.

I always make tea.

I'm quite a amateur, maybe say newbie, or maybe clueless when it comes to coffee.

My husband, Dan, likes coffee, but I could say I wake up and make tea.

First thing, beautiful phrase.

Let's go to the next part of my morning.

After I'm awake, I head to the kitchen and start to make some breakfast.

Sometimes my kids and I read a book

or play a little game at breakfast because not everyone in our house is a morning person.

Sometimes at least one of us will wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

So having a little bit of fun lightens the mood and helps you to start your day off right.

Do you know what a morning person is?

A morning person is someone who wakes up happy, ready to start the day.

Are you a morning person?

Or maybe you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

This is a little bit metaphorical.

There's not really a good side of the bed and a bad side of the bed, but it means that you wake up grumpy,

maybe a little cranky, maybe not so happy.

You could say, oh, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

I need some coffee or tea if you're me.

Then after breakfast, I drop my son Theo off at preschool.

This phrasal verb to drop off can be used for people or for things.

So you heard me use it for people.

I drop my son Theo off at school, or we could put it together.

I drop off my son at preschool.

But we could also drop something off.

I dropped my computer off at the repair shop.

Make sure that you don't forget the word off, because if you just say, I dropped my computer at the repair shop,

it means your computer fell on the ground, broke.

Luckily, you're at the repair shop, but it means something really different than to drop off.

So make sure that you say, I dropped off my computer at the repair shop, or I dropped my computer off at the repair shop.

Then I come home to start my work day.

Usually I catch up on some emails.

I go over any lessons that I'm going to have for my students.

And sometimes I just call a friend to catch up.

This phrasal verb to catch up or to catch up on is often used in daily life.

And you can probably use it in your life too.

Let's take a look at some situations.

Let's imagine you've had a super busy week and it's the weekend and you look around and your house is a disaster.

Right now, my couch is covered in blankets.

This table has papers and everything all over it.

Oh boy, I need to catch up on chores.

I need to catch up on some cleaning that I didn't do during the week.

Can you guess what this means?

There's something that you've delayed doing.

Maybe you don't want to, or you don't have time, and now it's time to do it.

So I could say I need to catch up on some emails

or i need to catch up on some cleaning

but i also used this to talk about my friend i call my friend to catch up.

Well, it kind of has the same idea.

I haven't talked to my friend for a while and now we're talking about everything that's happened since we last talked.

So if you see someone, maybe you're in the grocery store and you run across someone who you haven't seen for a while,

you might say, hey, you want to go get some coffee and catch up?

That means I haven't seen you for a while.

I want to hear everything that's been happening.

Let's catch up.

I also said in my little story that I'd go over some lessons.

And this is simply a really common way to say review.

You can use this in the workplace a lot.

You might ask someone to help you out.

You could say, hey, could you go over this email before I send it?

Maybe you're writing a really important email and you want to make sure you have everything right.

You could ask a coworker, hey, when you have a second, could you go over this email before I send it?

I would really appreciate it." That's so polite.

And also if the other person is a kind person, they might feel kind of good about themselves.

Like, oh, you think my opinion and my ideas are important and worthwhile?

Sure, I'll go over that email for you.

I will give it my stamp of approval.

When I finish my work, I pick up my son from preschool and we head home.

This verb, to head somewhere, is used all the time.

Let me give you a couple situations.

You might say, like I just did, I'm heading home.

That means you're going in the direction of home.

You're not there yet.

100

You're not stopped, but that's where you're going.

101

I'm heading home.

102

Or if someone calls you and says, what are you doing?

103

You could say, I'm headed to the store.

104

I'm headed to the store.

105

In American English, the store usually means the grocery store or the supermarket.

106

You're going to go buy some food.

107

I'm headed to the store.

108

Or if you're ready to go and everyone else is just taking their good old time, you could say, all right, it's time to head out.

109

This phrase to head out means out of the house.

110

Come on, it's time to head out.

111

Let's go.

112

A great way to use to head, to head out.

113

When we get home, sometimes my son and I have a little tea party together and chat about his day.

114

Usually as we're eating and drinking, he kind of opens up about his day.

115

And if he doesn't open up while we're eating, sometimes I ask some specific questions like, how many holes did you dig today?

116

Did you jump in the leaf pile?

117

He goes to an outdoor nature school, so they play outside all day, all weather, any season.

118

They're pretty tough.

119

They have lots of good warm clothes,

120

but asking these types of specific questions can help him to kind of review his day in an easier way.

121

You might hear people in movies and TV shows using the phrase, tell me about your day, or what did you do today,

122

or what did you learn in school today, even worse.

123

These types of broad questions usually we don't really like to answer, especially at the end of the day.

124

You feel like you just want to detox, decompress, and it's tough to summarize your day in just a few words like that.

125

So maybe when you were a kid, if your mom asked you, what did you learn in school today?

126

You probably said, oh, nothing, because it's just too hard to summarize your day.

127

So if you have a significant other, if you have kids, if you're just asking someone about their day, I recommend, first of all,

128

doing something together, spending some quality time together.

129

You don't have to have a tea party, although I highly recommend it.

130

Very fun.

131

All you need is some tea, maybe a little snack, cut up an apple.

132

have some nuts or dried fruit, whatever you like.

133

And just spending quality time together can help someone to open up.

134

This is a phrase we're going to use in just a minute.

135

I want to tell you about it.

136

But I recommend if someone doesn't open up, asking specific questions.

137

This helps someone to recall the information that happened to them during the day, especially with kids.

138

This is helpful because they're just living their life.

139

They're not thinking about summarizing at the end of the day.

140

So when you ask a specific question, oh, what game did you play at recess today?

141

Oh, did you eat anyone else's food at lunch today?

142

These specific questions can help your child to open up.

143

And this phrasal verb to open up is beautiful.

144

I love this concept.

145

When you're talking with someone, usually at the beginning, there's kind of a wall.

146

You don't immediately share your deepest thoughts.

147

If someone says, hey, Vanessa, how are you doing today?

148

No matter how I'm really feeling, I'll always say, oh, pretty good.

149

What about you?

150

Because I'm not ready to open up.

151

In those types of passing situations, we're just not comfortable sharing our inner thoughts.

152

So when you spend quality time together, that wall kind of.. drifts away a little more and someone might be more willing to be vulnerable.

153

And that's the idea.

154

When you open up, that means that you're willing to talk about your struggles, something difficult in your life, something really meaningful in your life,

155

not just the surface shallow things, but when you really open up to someone, you're being your authentic self.

156

So just remember these Vanessa tips the next time that you want someone to open up to you.

157

All right, let's go to the next part of my day.

158

When the weather's nice, usually our neighbors come over and hang out.

159

Sometimes we have snacks, sometimes we play games, sometimes we just chat, but because my backyard is very sunny, it's a favorite hangout spot.

160

And this word, to hang out, can be used in two different ways.

161

It can be used as a verb.

162

We love to hang out in the backyard.

163

This means to casually spend time, time, usually with other people.

164

We hang out together.

165

Or it can be used as a noun.

166

This is a hangout.

167

Or as an adjective, so I guess we can use this in three ways, a hangout spot.

168

So it's describing this location.

169

What kind of location is it?

170

It's a hangout spot.

171

It's not a professional place.

172

It's not a private place.

173

Instead, it's a hangout spot.

174

It's where we just go to spend time with other people.

175

After hanging out with friends, as As the sun starts to go down, usually we come inside and start to cook dinner.

176

While we're eating dinner, we try to sit down at the table as a family.

177

It's nice to try to have a little bit of quality time together.

178

So we like to ask each other some questions.

179

The most common questions, in fact, my four -year -old son, Theo, loves to ask these to us.

180

He asks us one by one, what was the best part of your day? day.

181

And when everyone has answered, he asks, what was the most challenging part of your day?

182

And it's so funny, the things that kids will say to these questions.

183

So if you haven't done this in your home, if your kids aren't familiar with English, it's okay.

184

You can ask in your native language, but asking these questions helps to kind of prompt conversation a bit.

185

And when you're opening up about the best thing or the most challenging thing about your day,

186

it kind of encourages the other people at the table to open up to.

187

Oh, what great phrasal verb that we just learned about.

188

There are two phrases I want to share with you that I just mentioned.

189

One of them is as a family.

190

Now this just means the group, the whole group, the family group, but we can use the same structure in other ways.

191

We could say as a family, as a neighborhood, as a community, as a department, as an office.

192

So it's talking about all the people that are in that group.

193

So for example, you could say, it's important to spend some time together as a couple without your kids.

194

So if you have kids, spending time without them is very important.

195

So you could say as a couple, just you and your significant other, it's important to be together without your kids occasionally.

196

Another expression that I used is quality time.

197

I already mentioned this when I was talking about the tea party.

198

I think I might've mentioned it.

199

If not, having a tea party is good quality time too, but it means that you're not just having a shallow experience together.

200

It's not rushed.

201

You don't have to go anywhere.

202

You're just enjoying each other's presence.

203

So I really encourage you to try to spend some quality time with someone this week.

204

It means that you don't need to go anywhere.

205

You don't have any kind of schedule.

206

You have a full hour just to take a walk with a friend

207

or to chat on the phone or to play a game with your kids, something that's quality time.

208

There's no agenda.

209

You're just enjoying being together.

210

After dinner, we clean up, we put the kids to bed, we tuck them in and tell them, sleep tight.

211

So one of these expressions that I used, you have to be very careful about.

212

I said, we put the kids to bed.

213

This means that we help them sleep.

214

So maybe we brush their teeth, we read some books, we sing some songs, and we help them to relax.

215

When you say, we put the kids to bed,

216

that's what it means, but you have to be very careful because if you change the word bed for sleep,

217

if you put someone to sleep, it's very different.

218

Usually this is a pet.

219

So if we said, I had to put my dog to sleep last week, it means you had to euthanize,

220

which is a nice way to say, kill your dog.

221

Maybe that means he was really old.

222

He was suffering.

223

It's a really tough thing to do, too, but it's often necessary.

224

So make sure that you do not say, I had to put my kids to sleep.

225

Instead, I had to put my kids to bed.

226

Oh, much better.

227

Of course, if you say your kids, people are probably going to understand that you mean you helped them sleep.

228

But just to make certain that you're using the best expression, you can say, I put my kids to bed every night at seven o 'clock.

229

I put my kids to bed.

230

Beautiful.

231

The final thing that I say to my kids before they go to bed is sleep tight.

232

What?

233

Tight?

234

This is a fun expression that's actually shortened from another full expression.

235

It is good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

236

Of course, we hope you don't have bugs in your bed.

237

This is a very old expression.

238

Sometimes we say that full expression, good night, sleep tight.

239

Sometimes we say, good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

240

But oftentimes we just shorten that to good night, sleep tight, or just sleep tight.

241

And it just means I hope you sleep well.

242

So if you hear people say this in English movies or TV shows, or if you want to say this yourself, it's great.

243

A very natural thing to say at the end of the night.

244

After the kids are in bed, Dan, my husband, and I have some precious downtime.

245

Sometimes we get caught up on chores, maybe get caught up on a book that we're reading.

246

Sometimes just chat about our day and decompress.

247

This is a great expression, downtime.

248

It means you have nothing else to do except decompress and relax.

249

It's essential to have downtime, especially before you go to bed.

250

If you're looking at Instagram while you're in your bed.

251

Oh no, no, no. Stop that right away.

252

It's very bad for your sleep.

253

You need to have some downtime.

254

Give yourself a one hour pause before you go to bed to try to slow your mind down.

255

Having some downtime with someone you love or just by yourself, relaxing is essential.

256

When the day's over, it's finally time to hit the hay.

257

If I've had a really busy day, I might just sleep like a log, but if I'm feeling a bit stressed

258

or there's a lot going on in my mind I might toss and turn a bit before finally falling asleep.

259

And fingers crossed that my children sleep all night

260

so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to help them.

261

And that's my day.

262

Let's talk about some of those expressions I just used.

263

To hit the hay does not mean that I'm a farmer

264

and I have a last minute chore at the end of the day, I need to hit the hay.

265

No, instead it just means sleep.

266

I need to hit the hay.

267

My head needs to go the pillow.

268

I need to hit the hay.

269

And I also said that I might sleep like a log.

270

Does a log move?

271

Does a log make any sounds?

272

Nope.

273

It's just a tree that fell over and there it is.

274

Nice and silent and still.

275

It means you slept very soundly, very quietly and peacefully.

276

But to toss and turn, on the other hand, the toss and turn means that you did not sleep peacefully, or at least you

277

You didn't go to bed peacefully.

278

Your body and your mind is too active.

279

You tossed and turned.

280

What about the last one I used?

281

Fingers crossed.

282

This is just a fun way to say, I hope that my kids sleep all night.

283

Fingers crossed that my kids sleep all night and me too.

284

Thank you for joining me for my daily routine.

285

I'm curious if your daily routine is similar to mine.

286

Let's move on and advance your English skills to help you think

287

and speak in English by talking about another important part of your life, which is vacation.

288

I hope that you had a special vacation this past summer, and I'd like to help you speak about it in English.

289

So I want you to hear about my vacation

290

and learn some important words that you can use to help you think and speak in English.

291

Let's watch.

292

My family went on a four hour road trip to West Virginia to meet up with Dan's side of the family.

293

Unfortunately, Dan's brother got bronchitis, so he couldn't come.

294

A road trip is when you drive a long distance and usually the journey is also important.

295

These are common trips in the US, maybe because the US is so big.

296

Let's take a look at another sample sentence.

297

Some of my favorite memories from childhood vacations are taking road trips across the country.

298

You also heard me use the phrase to meet up with.

299

This is used when you are getting together with someone who you already know.

300

Let's take a look at this sentence.

301

We made plans to meet up with our friends while we were traveling in Spain.

302

All right, let's continue with my summer vacation story.

303

We rented a cabin in the woods that also had a hot tub or jacuzzi that my kids loved.

304

The word rent is commonly used for vacations.

305

You might rent an Airbnb.

306

You might rent a car.

307

Or maybe you could say we rented an RV so that we could take a road trip around the US.

308

All right, let's continue.

309

We went hiking and rock climbing.

310

We made a bonfire and we ate amazing food, including a five course wine tasting that

311

Dan's parents put on, that was amazing.

312

On our vacation, we did three common activities that we do outdoors on vacation.

313

We went hiking, we went rock climbing, and we had a bonfire.

314

I'm curious if having a bonfire is common in your country.

315

I know sometimes this is really common, but sometimes it's almost unbelievable, especially if you live in a big city.

316

But personally, I love having a bonfire, especially because I like to eat marshmallows.

317

All right, let's continue with my story.

318

Because it was the summertime and we were in the woods, we made sure that everyone wore bug spray and sunblock

319

because nothing can ruin a vacation faster than lots of bug bites and getting a sunburn.

320

I don't know if this is true in your country, but where I live, there are a lot of mosquitoes,

321

so we have to wear bug spray often.

322

And what happens if you don't wear bug spray?

323

You get a bug bite.

324

We also have to wear sunblock.

325

Sometimes people call this sunscreen.

326

What happens if you don't wear sunscreen?

327

Well, you get a sunburn.

328

Not good.

329

Let's go on with my story.

330

Well, we were having so much fun in West Virginia

331

that we decided to extend our vacation and drive four hours further north to Dan's sister's house for five more days.

332

And thankfully, our generous neighbor said that she could watch our cats, our chickens in our house for a little bit longer.

333

Let's take a look at this word to watch.

334

Yes, we can use to watch for.

335

I watch TV, but it's also often used for taking care of something.

336

I watched two kids over the summer.

337

Okay.

338

That means you were a babysitter or a nanny over the summer.

339

You took care of those two kids.

340

So we could also say, could you watch my house while I'm gone next week?

341

That means could you take care of my house while I'm gone next week?

342

All right, let's continue.

343

In Pittsburgh, we hung out a lot together.

344

We went to the zoo and you know what?

345

I got stuck in the elevator at the zoo for 20 minutes.

346

It was a little bit scary.

347

This is a lovely phrasal verb that you can use at any time in your life.

348

To hang out with someone is simply to spend casual time together.

349

Hey, you want to hang out?

350

Oh, it was great hanging out last week.

351

Great phrasal verb to use.

352

What about this one? to get stuck.

353

This could be used physically.

354

I got stuck in the elevator.

355

He got stuck in traffic.

356

But we can also use this mentally.

357

If you're speaking in English and you just can't remember the words that you're trying to say,

358

you might say, oh, I just got stuck and I can't remember the next word.

359

You're not physically stuck, but your brain will not go to the correct word.

360

So I hope this lesson will help you to find more words in your vocabulary

361

so you can speak exactly the way that you would like.

362

All right, let's continue my story.

363

During our trip, my sister -in -law found out the gender of her third baby.

364

It was quite a surprise and it was so fun to celebrate with her.

365

This is another phrasal verb.

366

To find out something means that you are learning a new piece of information.

367

Let's take a look at the sample sentence.

368

I found out about the surprise party because I heard them talking on the phone.

369

Oops.

370

All right, let's continue with my story.

371

During the week, we rented a private karaoke room for Dan's sister's birthday, and there were about 20 people there.

372

Dan and his friend sang an improvised happy birthday song, and it was hilarious and quite a crowd pleaser.

373

This word, a crowd pleaser, means that everyone loves it.

374

You might say this, I went to the circus

375

and I saw a woman shoot flaming arrows from her bow with her feet.

376

It was a crowd pleaser.

377

It was incredible.

378

All right, let's keep going.

379

Then we went to our friend's wedding, which was actually at her mom's house, and it was perfect.

380

This was my kid's first wedding, and I think it was the best wedding they could have gone to.

381

The ceremony was blessedly short.

382

They had homemade pizza made for each person, and they had a blast dancing.

383

This is a lovely expression, to have a blast, and it just means that you're having so much fun.

384

You might say, we went to the beach last week and you wouldn't believe it.

385

We had a blast just staying in our beach house, laughing and playing games.

386

We only went to the beach two days.

387

I hope that you have a blast on your vacation.

388

All right, let's keep going.

389

Something amazing happened at that wedding.

390

Our friend, the bride, hired a silhouette artist to cut a silhouette for each of the guests.

391

It was an amazing souvenir.

392

I'll show it to you here.

393

This is really something that I'll treasure forever.

394

Can you believe she hand cut that by just looking at us in about 10 seconds?

395

Incredible.

396

This word, a silhouette, is a fun one.

397

It usually means the outline of something.

398

So you might say, before I got glasses, I could only see the silhouette of the trees.

399

And then when I got glasses, I could see the leaves.

400

Amazing.

401

Have you ever been traveling and gotten a souvenir for my son?

402

You know what he loves to get as a souvenir?

403

A rock.

404

Wherever we go, it might be a rock from a parking lot, it might be a rock from a creek.

405

His favorite souvenirs are rocks.

406

All right, let's keep going.

407

In both West Virginia and Pittsburgh, we had so much fun bonding and just spending quality time together.

408

Both of these words, to bond with someone and to spend quality time with someone, mean that you are deepening your relationship with someone else.

409

Let's take a look at this sentence.

410

The COVID -19 pandemic was a really hard time, but my family got to spend a lot of quality time together.

411

And in the end, we really bonded during that tough time.

412

All right, let's continue and go to the end of my vacation story.

413

Finally, after our eight hour trip home, which ended up being something like 11 hours total,

414

we made it home and it was time to get back to the real world.

415

This phrase, to get back to the real world, is when we often use at the end of vacation,

416

you've almost been living in a fantasy world.

417

Maybe you've been at the beach, maybe you went to another country, and then when you get home, boom, the real world hits.

418

So you might say, oh, I'm not ready to get back to the real world.

419

Or on the other hand, you might say, you know what, I'm kind of ready to get back to the real world.

420

This vacation was great, but it was long enough.

421

Well, thank you for joining me for my summer vacation

422

and congratulations on leveling up your English skills to help you think and speak in English.

423

Let me know in the comments, where did you go or what did you do for your summer vacation?

424

430

431

432

433

434

Struktur	Im Video

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 109 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel you're, I'm, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

Die „th“-Laute: authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/, euthanize /ˈjuː.θənˌaɪz/
Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: vacation /veɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/, shallow /ˈʃæloʊ/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, occasionally /əˈkeɪʒənəli/
Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, elevator /ˈɛləˌveɪtɚ/, ceremony /ˈsɛɹ.əˌmoʊ.ni/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, occasionally /əˈkeɪʒənəli/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

/w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/, quietly /ˈkwaɪ.ɪt.li/, awake /əˈweɪk/, workplace /ˈwɝkˌpleɪs/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/
Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, verb /vɝb/, bug /bʌɡ/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, backyard /bækˈjɑːd/
/æ/ — offener als „ä“: blast /blæst/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, shallow /ˈʃæloʊ/, snack /snæk/

So übst du mit diesem Video

Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie vacation, phrase, verb.

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.
