Michelle, how are you today?

Hi, Aubrey.

It is getting warmer.

I am excited.

Everything is good.

I hope you're doing well.

Yes, I am.

This is the hottest part of the summer, but we are spending a lot of time in the pool.

We've gone to the beach and we are

so excited to bring you this Splash Into Summer series here at All Ears English.

We're sharing a few of our best episodes that are packed with phrases to help you connect in English this summer.

That's right.

So today, you are going to hear the first episode in this really fun summer series with amazing summertime expressions.

All right.

Are we ready for the episode, Aubrey?

All right.

Enjoy.

Hello, Michelle.

How you doing?

Are you feeling summery?

I am.

Oh my gosh.

You know how much I complain about the cold, Lindsay.

You pointed it out before.

What is actually your favorite season, Michelle?

Would you say it's winter, summer, spring fall it's a good question um i guess i'm gonna have to go with like the month of

maybe the month of may can i just choose one month

yeah sure you can change the question okay no may is a really nice month i really like may

and october i like october too

because it's crisp you know it's really yeah it's like cooling down

but it's not it's not too cold some days maybe

and you're like oh a sweater and then like by the time you know you're past october you're like like, Oh, Oh no. Yeah.

I also like it because it's like cool leather jacket, whether, you know what I mean?

You can wear your leather jacket.

You don't have to be in like a, you know, puffy, awful jacket and you don't, and you're not in a t-shirt suit.

Right.

Exactly.

That's how I always feel.

When I was little, I had, well, a teenager, I had like, it was a puffy silver, you know, one of those.

And I just felt like an astronaut.

That's true.

Winter clothing is not, I don't know if it's really that fashionable, but I don't even know fashion to be honest.

So maybe we should get off that topic.

Nevermind.

Um, yeah.

So, um, so, but do you have a favorite season

or are we just going with those two months for the two of us?

Maybe the fall.

Ah, no, I'm going to say summer because just because the possibilities are endless in the summer, you can travel abroad, you can stay home, you can do pretty much anything.

It's also sometimes lighter work-wise.

Like we try to take it easy in the summer.

So I'd say summer is my favorite season yeah yeah I'd say okay overall I'll agree with you

but I do get very hot anyway you do

I don't like to be too hot

and I don't like to get too cold yeah true true true um

so but today well we're approaching uh July 4th already I know

and I know Lindsay this is your favorite holiday I know

this about you right you love the fourth of July of

course I know after seven years you remember by now i

know i do love it i love it in case you guys haven't heard i love it because it's

so simple doesn't require buying any gifts doesn't require any politics

of the family who's gonna go where right uh no flights

unless you want it to be you could just go to

the beach have a barbecue backyard sandals hot dogs hamburgers idea yeah it's you're right about that

because it's not necessarily like some holidays are like family holidays

where like Like it's thought of to be the family and you have to figure it out.

And if you have a partner, you have to, you know, have that conversation.

Yeah.

Like, where are you going?

And that can be tricky.

So 4th of July is more like, all right, like we could be with friends.

We could be with family.

It's less pressure.

Yeah.

But you usually have the day off.

Obviously it's, it's a holiday.

It's a national holiday if it falls during a week.

And so everyone just, it's just simple.

I like things that are simple, you know?

Yeah.

I hear you.

I definitely hear you on that. So yeah.

Soon.

It is 4th of July and we are in summer now.

So we've been doing, you know, these, some, these season series,

um, and it started in the winter, in the winter, right?

Um, it was, uh, 1711 ugly sweaters and stuff, stocking stuffers for easy to only use in winter.

And this was because we had done a YouTube series, right?

And we realized that to call someone a Scrooge, like that's not something you really say in the summer.

Right?

So we decided to do this series.

Yeah, it would just be weird.

Like there are certain things that you generally say only in certain seasons.

And we realized that.

So we went ahead, so that was 1711.

And then in the spring we did 1763, which was springtime love and english expressions

so today in honor of july 4th coming up we are going to do summer i love it

and again i mean yeah these words

that we're going to show you today guys yeah you probably shouldn't say them in the winter

100

so we're going to say that it's kind of it's

101

because the words we choose come from a mindset

102

that we have right and that mindset is usually based on the seasons

103

so that's why this is perfect exactly exactly

104

so some of these are kind of funny i realize the

105

summer ones are kind of silly especially this first one i

106

like this i know should we get into it yeah let's get into it

107

so the first one guys is beach bod now i feel like i remember using the word bod more

108

when i was like a teenager like commenting on guys like

109

cute guys models you know what i mean in magazines well what is bod short for body short for body

110

so if you have a beach bod it means you have a body for the beach right maybe

111

if you're a guy you have a six pack right we say a six pack

112

which means what michelle bonus it's like it's

113

that abs it's a six pack abs exactly exactly

114

but actually i guess people do start talking about this beach

115

bod i need to get my beach bod ready before people

116

start wearing yeah even in the office with your colleagues you

117

might i mean don't bring it up wait until you hear it

118

but some of your colleagues closer to you might say oh

119

i don't you know i don't have a beach bod yet

120

so i wanted to go to that party i got invited to

121

but i can't you know things like that right yeah

122

and it's interesting i wonder if this is going to get phased out

123

because as we focus more on like things like body positivity

124

you know it might yeah like you know just kind of being you know not not

125

so critical of yes you know how people's bodies look um i wonder

126

if like saying things like beach bod is going to start

127

to sound kind of like old-fashioned i already think it's starting

128

to sound a little 90s i would say yeah yeah yeah yeah

129

but but it is important to know

130

so body is yeah body is shortened sometimes to bod

131

so that's kind of fun oh my god i'm sorry ah

132

my phone is always ringing these days it's crazy all right

133

oh what's the next one no i think spam calls actually i don't know oh oh that's a problem one way.

134

Yeah.

135

136

138

142

We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.

143

Okay.

144

Anyway, the next one is beach bum.

145

Yeah.

146

So what would that be?

147

Who's a beach bum?

148

I think a beach bum is like somebody who really likes to spend a lot of time at the beach, right?

149

Yeah.

150

Yeah.

151

So, so would you say you're a beach bum?

152

Like, do you spend a lot of time at beach no i am

153

so well first of all i don't live in a landlocked state first of all right that's true what does

154

that mean what does that mean landlocked yeah that's a great expression a state

155

or country right that does not have access to the water yep

156

so uh we think about different countries like bolivia comes to

157

mind is landlocked it's right in the middle there's no ocean ocean line right um yeah colorado's landlocked

158

and even if i were living in mass

159

or cal california no i wouldn't be a beach bum what

160

about you michelle are you no no no okay okay we've i think we've talked about this before

161

so i knew your answer it's funny i asked you a lot of questions

162

and you know i often know your answer surprise you are these days

163

but we've been talking well but we've been talking

164

so many years we know a lot true um

165

so beach bum yeah no i am not a beach bum

166

i prefer i know i i prefer like like walking on the boardwalk.

167

I like to be on the boardwalk.

168

That's fun.

169

Going to places like the Jersey shore.

170

Um, that'd be a good time, but I don't like, I'm not like when I think of beach bum, I think of somebody like feet in the sand all day long,

171

you know, and I can't, I just can't do it.

172

Yeah.

173

It's true.

174

You walk past people on the beach and they've got these dark, dark tans and they've just been there all day.

175

And you think, Oh, it looks painful.

176

If I do that, I need to be under an umbrella.

177

You know, I just don't want to have my son that expo my skin that exposed to the sun.

178

I just feel like i'm gonna regret it someday

179

if i do yeah exactly exactly so the next thing is work on my tan

180

so lindsay are you someone who tries to get a good tan michelle i used to be i would say

181

that i used to be

182

and i even made the mistake this is going to date me

183

and this is a little embarrassing i even made the mistake a few times of going tanning

184

when i was in high school oh like to a salon a A tanning bed.

185

Yeah.

186

It was before we knew how bad it was, but maybe I still had a hunch that it was very weird.

187

Uh, it was like 97, 98.

188

And my friend Emma and I, she convinced me to go, you know, her mom was going all the time and we got the goggles.

189

We went a few times, but you stand there and you just like look up at the, or you just like let the lights come on your, on your skin.

190

Uh, I don't, have you ever been tanning?

191

Uh, I've never been to like a tanning bed, but I have been spray tanning.

192

Oh, geez.

193

Spray tan.

194

So that's not much better.

195

Isn't there a funny episode of friend?

196

Is it friends?

197

Oh yeah.

198

That's a good one.

199

I was hoping you might say that.

200

Yes.

201

Yeah.

202

That is the only episode of friends.

203

My mom has ever laughed at.

204

Laughed at.

205

Are you, does your mom not have a sense of humor?

206

Nope.

207

My mom has an amazing sense of like, it's not funny enough for her.

208

Yeah.

209

She just like, doesn't find it funny.

210

And as a kid, I mean, if she saw this, she would laugh.

211

Like as a kid, I would get so excited about friends and I would be like, I would be looking for the episode that will finally like get my mom to be a fan.

212

And we would just, we would just watch it.

213

And I would be like laughing and I would always look over at her to see if she was laughing.

214

And she'd just be like, interesting, interesting.

215

Okay.

216

So there's a high bar.

217

Okay.

218

She's a high bar.

219

Yes.

220

That episode got her.

221

And to this day, like even just a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about it. So yeah.

222

If you guys don't what we're talking about is it ross

223

or is it chandler it's ross right he goes to get tan spray tan

224

and he just stands in the same place for too long he gets confused about the instructions

225

and he ends up getting like a super heavy really really dark yeah

226

that makes me never want to get a spray tan that's

227

for sure yeah i don't know i didn't it didn't it didn't i i realized you know

228

because you know in high school

229

and everything people would want to work on their tan

230

and this and that yeah and i would always you know i'm i'm rather pale

231

if you didn't notice and i would always want to be tan

232

and i don't know then i learned to embrace the paleness

233

because i i've seen myself with a spray tan

234

and i've seen myself

235

when i get even a little bit of color it's not

236

it doesn't fit you know like you're meant to be

237

that makes sense fair enough

238

and that's one of the gifts of getting older honestly is

239

you know regardless of the trend i didn't need you to point

240

that out yeah yeah you knew that already right you knew that

241

yeah we can start to embrace ourselves absolutely i love

242

that idea yes okay yeah thanks it's

243

because i'm old no i'm just joking oh michelle come on don't worry i'm always going to be older

244

so don't worry um okay

245

so the last one we're going to teach is summer fling yes okay

246

so do you think

247

that summer flings are ever a good idea oh first of

248

all what is a summer fling it's like a quick relationship

249

that usually like it's not very realistic

250

that oak will continue maybe it's in a maybe you're traveling

251

or you know i don't know picking up a cruise

252

or just like working at a summer camp together or something like

253

that it's just like a fling you can use fling for other times of the year

254

but summer fling it's like in that song from greece yeah summer fling yes

255

yes i yeah generally i don't think they work out um

256

but i'm sure there are some what do you think there

257

are some examples of some i think it's i think summer has a certain

258

and we can see it in these words summer has a

259

certain lightness to it a lack of seriousness right i think in people's minds like between memorial day

260

and labor day that's when you can kind of just goof off

261

and have fun

262

but as soon as labor day comes around it's like even

263

in the economy the stock market people pull out of their stocks in the summer right

264

and then they go back in in the fall and

265

so it's it's shown everywhere we just kind of loosen up

266

and relax so yeah summer flings can be fun

267

but don't necessarily expect it to be something that's going to

268

turn into yeah yeah i also think of like um

269

if you're a lifeguard at a pool maybe someone else who's lifeguarding

270

that kind of thing that kind of summer job fling right yeah right oh yeah life yeah exactly yeah Um, so guys, these are expressions

271

that you will most likely talk about either slightly before the summer

272

or during the summer

273

but you're probably not going to be talking about summer flings unless you're telling a story about the summer uh when it's

274

when it's snowing probably not like yeah unless you're going back

275

to let me tell you about my summer fling last summer right

276

that kind of thing right yeah exactly so should we do a role play?

277

Yeah, let's do it.

278

All right.

279

So we are going to the beach.

280

Oh geez.

281

Okay.

282

All right.

283

I can't wait to get out there and work on my tan.

284

Yeah, but don't get a sunburn.

285

I'll sit for a bit, but I'm not really much of a beach bum.

286

So I'll probably spend some time playing games on the boardwalk.

287

Yeah.

288

Tracy's coming too.

289

And she won't stop talking about her summer flings beach bod.

290

Oh boy.

291

I'll be sure to take a walk for that discussion.

292

Ha ha.

293

Nice.

294

So yeah, typical, we're getting ready to go to the beach.

295

Michelle, do you think that you could ever live in a place like California, more of a beach culture?

296

Could you ever live like in Santa Monica or on the coast, you know, Laguna beach?

297

Um, I think maybe because I think there's still like a lot of nice things there.

298

There really are.

299

Yeah.

300

I don't know it so well.

301

I will say that when I, you know, when I do visit beach towns, um, even like the Jersey shore, I have this moment where I'm like,

302

should I be living on the beach?

303

Like it's so, it's so relaxing.

304

Sometimes I think like if life could feel a little bit simpler or something like that.

305

And then I always start looking up real estate and then things get complicated, right?

306

Yeah.

307

And then I think, and then I think like, maybe I could do like a month in the summer or something like that.

308

But then I just, um, I think it's one of those things when you're there, when you're there, it seems like, oh, wow.

309

But if I were to, I don't know if I could do it year round.

310

Yeah.

311

I know what you mean.

312

It's something about the smell of the salt water, right?

313

In the air, the salt air is really, really healing and relaxing for the body, the hair.

314

It just feels great.

315

But yeah, I'm not sure if I would necessarily want to live full-time at the beach,

316

but yeah who knows maybe another lifetime right who knows maybe maybe anyway guys uh well let's go through this

317

so i said uh so you said i can't wait to get out there

318

and work on my tan very common right work on my tan again

319

that right there is a chunk you're gonna hear this from

320

your colleagues on a friday before a summer weekend right work on my tan okay really common guys

321

and then i'm not really much of a beach bum is

322

what i said meaning i don't spend an entire day at

323

the beach i have to do other things right exactly exactly

324

and then i said she won't you said she won't stop talking about her summer flings beach bod right

325

so this person she has a fling with this person's body yeah

326

and their six-pack maybe exactly and

327

if you guys are on the app you're going to be

328

able to see this in the transcripts i could see how this little chunk could be a little confusing

329

because we're combining two of the key word right keywords

330

so summer flings that person's beach bod okay

331

so just to be clear guys um good stuff any takeaway for our listeners today should they go out

332

and just have a crazy summer have a great summer have a great time

333

and enjoy and these uh you know listen for these expressions

334

and yeah enjoy the enjoy a good weather all right good

335

stuff enjoy it guys happy summer happy summer bye bye All right.

336

So my favorite expression from this episode is definitely beach bum.

337

So my favorite summertime activity is being a beach bum, hanging out all day on the beach,

338

playing in the waves, building sandcastles with my kids, playing sand volleyball and spike ball.

339

That's my favorite.

340

Sand volleyball and spike ball is all I want to do when I'm on the beach.

341

It's so fun.

342

And we, although I will say that I will say that I am practicing these phrases, but that is actually not true.

343

Oh, that's so funny.

344

Listeners are like, is that true, Michelle?

345

Yeah.

346

They're like, we've heard you probably talk about the beach before.

347

Those were example sentences for Michelle.

348

All of that is true for me.

349

I love sports on the beach, hanging out on the beach.

350

And we hope that you guys are able to be a beach bum this summer and maybe have a summer fling.

351

That was another fun phrase from this episode.

352

But like Michelle said in the role play, don't get a sunburn.

353

Use sunscreen, everyone.

354

That's right.

355

That's right. Be careful.

356

And also be sure to hit follow to get the rest of this Splash Into Summer series.

357

All right.

358

See you next time.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
