Hello everybody, this is Elliot from ETJ English.
Hallo zusammen, hier ist Elliot von ETJ English.
2
Today I have an interesting video for you.
Heute habe ich ein interessantes Video für euch.
3
We're going to be learning some very common and very useful British expressions
Wir werden einige sehr gebräuchliche und sehr nützliche britische Ausdrücke lernen.
4
which I think are most often used in the workplace or in a business environment.
die meiner Meinung nach am häufigsten am Arbeitsplatz oder in einem Geschäftsumfeld verwendet werden.
5
However, some of these can be used and transferred into daily life also.
6
So, we're going to learn quite a few.
7
I want to get straight into the video.
8
Just so you know, because I mainly focus on pronunciation,
9
I'm a pronunciation teacher, we will be focusing on also how to connect our speech with some of these phrases
10
and also how to just make things sound very nice, okay, in a British style.
11
Thank you.
12
Off the top of my head I'd say we have about 300 employees.
13
Okay, so the expression I'm talking about, "off the top of my head" Notice how the word 'of' becomes 'of'.
Okay, also der Ausdruck, von dem ich rede, „off the top of my head“. Beachte, wie das Wort „of“ zu „of“ wird.
14
It's what we call a function word, it's not important.
15
Top of my head.
16
off the top of my head Sometimes it will even become "uh" top of my head.
17
- Yeah.
18
The of is not important.
19
The important words are top and head mainly.
20
Of the top of my head I'd say we have about 300 employees and what it means is
21
without thinking too much or without really thinking about it then you make your statement.
22
So I don't know that we have exactly 300 employees, but off the top of my head the first thing I can think of is that we have about 300.
23
The next sentence, have a listen here.
24
I leave for work at about 6am.
25
and I get off work at about 5 :00 p .m.
26
I leave for work.
27
Firstly, let's look at that.
28
I leave for work.
29
So we've got the schwa on the word for.
30
Once again, for is not important.
31
So we say for work.
32
I leave for work.
33
A lot of my students, they get confused.
34
They think that to leave for work actually means to go home from work.
35
Because I said the time is 6am, maybe it's a bit clearer for you.
36
I leave for work at 6am means I leave my house to go to work.
37
At 6 :00 a .m.
38
I leave for work.
39
Okay?
40
And I get off work That's when I finish work, when I leave work.
41
Get off work, connected speech, get off, get off work.
42
That is when you finish work, you go home.
43
Okay.
44
Okay.
45
I leave for work at about 6 a .m.
46
and I get off work at about 5 p .m.
47
Another one, very, very, very, very common one, I'll drop you an email later.
48
I'll drop you an email later.
49
Now listen to my pronunciation.
50
I'll drop you one email, you one email.
51
Connected speech happening there, a wha sound.
52
I'll drop you an email later.
53
Now the word drop is used here and that literally just means I will send, I will give you an email later.
54
Sometimes people also say, "I will ping you an email later." Or even,
55
"I will ping you later." And I think the word ping has come from the sound when we receive a message, you know, that kind of ding sound.
56
"I'll drop you an email later." "I'll ping you an email later." Whichever one is best for you, really.
57
But that's more common than saying, "I will send you an email." Next one, I use this a lot with my friends, as well as in business terms.
58
Give me a shout.
59
For example, give me a shout when you're free.
60
Give me a shout is a bit like saying, let me know or tell me.
61
Give me a shout when you're free.
62
Okay, so it's just like saying tell me when you're available.
63
And also related to email, I could say give me a bell later.
64
Give me a bell later.
65
And that also means call me, call me later.
66
Give me a bell.
67
Some people do also say give me a ring, give me a call, and those can also be used in the same situation.
68
Give me a ring, give me a bell, give me a call.
69
Whatever you want.
70
This one's a good one to use if you're, uh, if you like talking about other people in the office.
71
He's been sucking up to the manager all week.
72
I think he's a bit of a kiss arse.
73
Okay, let's take a look at the first part of the sentence.
74
He's been sucking up to the manager all week.
75
To suck up means to be really nice to someone, to really compliment them.
76
"Oh, you're an amazing boss.
77
Oh, you're so good at your job.
78
Oh, you're fantastic.
79
He's sucking up." Okay?
80
To tell someone how great you think they are, maybe even if you don't think it's true.
81
Okay, so he's been sucking up to the manager or the boss all week.
82
I think he's a bit of a Bit of the.
83
Kiss us.
84
A kiss ass is a name we give to someone who likes to suck up.
85
So now you know what suck up means.
86
A kiss ass is someone who sucks up.
87
Imagine they are kissing someone's bottom.
88
And you'll find the office business work jargon really Bad language is not a problem,
89
but you need to feel comfortable with the people that you're talking to to use the bad language.
90
So the word 'arse' is not that bad.
91
if you're in a comfortable office environment.
92
If you're talking to your boss, maybe don't use the word "arse" or other words.
93
There are worse phrases, some quite rude expressions, but This is a family show.
94
I've got two expressions in this next sentence, so listen closely.
95
Everything is a bit up in the air right now.
96
I think I need to put off our meeting.
97
Everything is a bit up in the air right now.
98
Up in the air.
99
So lots of connected speech here.
100
Up in the air.
101
up in the air.
102
Now if things are up in the air, imagine you have loads of plans, loads of ideas, but they're not coming together, that you're not organised.
103
That would mean that your plans or things are up in the air, not very organised, a bit kind of confusing at the moment.
104
So everything is a bit up in the air right now.
105
Notice how I use the word a bit as well.
106
This is very common put off.
107
put off "our meeting".
108
So I think we need to put off our meeting.
109
So connected speech, put off, put off.
110
If you need to put something off, Very simple.
111
Postbone.
112
"Change to another day." So, this guy's plans, they're a bit up in the air,
113
not organised, so he needs to put off, reschedule, change the meeting.
114
One which is very similar to put off, so put off means postpone, and call off means cancel, just so you know.
115
So I could say I need to call off our meeting.
116
Notice the pronunciation of this.
117
An American would say "Carl".
118
We say "Cool".
119
Notice where my tongue is, I'm doing a very round shape with the mouth and the tongue goes back.
120
Ooh, cool.
121
I need to call off the meeting.
122
"Call off" means cancel.
123
The best way to remember: put off, begins with P and so does postpone.
124
Cancel begins with C, and so does cool off.
125
Finally, last one.
126
So we got two in this one.
127
We need to knuckle down and finish this project or else it will all go down the drain.
128
First thing we need to knuckle down.
129
Knuckles, these things, knuckle down.
130
That means, get your hands on the table and start working.
131
Or else, so if we don't knuckle down and finish the project soon, It will all go down the drain.
132
This is such a British expression.
133
If things all go down the drain, that means it all goes wrong, it finishes, it's over, no chance of continuing, it's finished.
134
It's all gone down the drain.
135
Okay, so you failed.
136
And that's just like water when it goes down the drain, when we're draining water.
137
There you go.
138
There's your expressions.
139
I hope you found them useful today.
140
This was one of the most requested videos.
141
Last week I said, what do you want me to make a video about?
142
you wanted this.
143
So I hope you're happy.
144
Please leave me a comment and tell me if you found this useful.
145
And if you have any pronunciation ideas for the next lesson next Thursday, please let me know.

Kontext & Hintergrund
In diesem Video haben wir die Möglichkeit, mit Elliot von ETJ English zu lernen, der sich auf britische Ausdrücke konzentriert, die häufig im Arbeits- und Geschäftsumfeld verwendet werden. Diese Ausdrücke sind nicht nur im Büro nützlich, sondern können auch in alltäglichen Gesprächen eingesetzt werden. Elliot legt besonderen Wert auf die Aussprache und zeigt, wie man Sätze flüssig und ansprechend formuliert. Durch den Fokus auf britische Ausdrücke können Lernende ihre Fähigkeiten im Englisch sprechen üben und die Englische Aussprache verbessern.
Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation
- Off the top of my head: Diese Phrase bedeutet, ohne viel darüber nachzudenken, eine Schätzung oder erste Antwort zu geben. Zum Beispiel: „Off the top of my head würde ich sagen, wir haben etwa 300 Mitarbeiter.“
- I leave for work: Dies bezieht sich auf den Zeitpunkt, zu dem man das Haus verlässt, um zur Arbeit zu gehen. „Ich verlasse um 6 Uhr morgens das Haus, um zur Arbeit zu gehen.“
- I get off work: Dies beschreibt den Moment, an dem man Feierabend macht. „Ich mache um 17 Uhr Feierabend.“
- I’ll drop you an email later: Eine informelle Art zu sagen, dass man später eine E-Mail senden wird. „Ich schicke dir später eine E-Mail.“
- Have a listen here: Dies ist eine Einladung, aufmerksam zuzuhören, insbesondere wenn man den Kontext oder die Aussprache einer bestimmten Phrase erklärt.
Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung
Um die in diesem Video präsentierten Ausdrücke effektiv zu lernen, empfiehlt sich die Methode des Englisch Shadowing. Hier ist eine einfache Anleitung:
- Bereite dich vor: Höre dir das Video zunächst an, um ein Gefühl für den Kontext und die Aussprache der Phrasen zu bekommen.
- Pause und wiederholen: Spiele den Abschnitt, in dem eine Phrase gesagt wird, und pausiere das Video. Versuche, die Phrasen nachzusprechen, während du auf die Aussprache achtest.
- Fokussiere auf die Intonation: Achte darauf, wie Elliot die Wörter betont und die Sätze verbindet. Dies hilft, die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern.
- Praktische Anwendung: Versuche, die neuen Phrasen in deinen eigenen Gesprächen zu verwenden, um sie zu festigen.
- Regelmäßiges Üben: Nutze YouTube-Videos wie dieses regelmäßig, um deine Fähigkeiten weiter zu steigern und deine Routine zu variieren.
Indem du diese Schritte befolgst und regelmäßig übst, kannst du deine Englischkenntnisse deutlich verbessern. Nutzen Sie diese Techniken, um Englisch zu lernen mit YouTube und deine Kommunikationsfähigkeiten zu stärken.
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing – eine Handlung, die früher begann und noch andauert | He's been sucking |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | someone who likes · someone who sucks · One which is |
| Superlativ the -est / the most … – das Höchste oder Niedrigste einer Gruppe | The best · the most requested |
| Zukunft mit „will“ will + Verb – eine Entscheidung, ein Versprechen oder eine Vorhersage | will be · will even become · I'll drop |
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.
