22
I play this jazz teacher who's sort of stuck, happily stuck, but still stuck in a job where he's teaching jazz,
23
which is a sort of a throwback of a trade when it comes to musical trade.
24
He's teaching jazz to his little kids in school.
25
So in the following clip from Seoul, Joe receives some news.
26
Watch it and then answer in the comments.
27
How would you explain his reaction to that news?
28
our full -time band teacher job security medical insurance pension Wow
29
that's great welcome to the MS 70 family Joe permanently thanks
30
but Joe has always dreamed of being something else in his heart he's a musician at heart
31
and since he was very young Joe always wanted to be a professional jazz musician you could say
32
that jazz music is the dream that Joe's been pursuing on nights and weekends his entire adult life.
33
I play this jazz teacher who's sort of stuck, happily stuck, but still stuck in a job where he's teaching jazz.
34
When you say you're stuck, you're unable to escape from a bad or boring situation.
35
I've been stuck with you since birth and that was never there before.
36
Yes it was.
37
Then I realized we had done this same silly charade our entire lives.
38
I tried to get my mind off how I was feeling, but I just felt stuck.
39
Joe, the character that Jamie Foxx plays, has big dreams.
40
However, he feels stuck because he's unable to make progress towards that dream.
41
In which of these three clips is the word stuck used literally, meaning unable to move.
42
I've been stuck in that job for eons.
43
I needed a change.
44
Huh?
45
You're stuck.
46
Stuck?
47
Nah, what?
48
Stuck?
49
Nah.
50
This is not enough.
51
Yeah, I'm stuck.
52
McQueen's probability of winning is 1 .2%.
53
Wow.
54
Numbers never lie.
55
I mean, I knew his career was stuck in the mo -
56
Jazz is a throwback music genre
57
because you associate it with the past this is true of jazz
58
and you could say blues as well here's an example her whole outfit was a throwback to the 1970s
59
if you use Instagram you'd probably be familiar with throwback Thursday
60
which is a day
61
that people commonly upload old pictures of themselves back to Jamie
62
he refers to jazz as a trade what do you think
63
that means a job a music genre an item of clothing
64
if you chose a you're right however trade is not an
65
exact synonym of job in a general way a trade is a particular business
66
or industry it also refers to the skills a person needs
67
to do a particular job see here how joey from friends
68
teaches tricks of the acting trade okay some tricks of the trade.
69
Let's say I want to convey that I've uh just done something evil.
70
Well that would be your basic I've got a fish hook in my eyebrow and I like it.
71
I'll be right back.
72
Practice your scales.
73
We say this or be right back for short, denounce
74
that we're leaving a place for a
75
short period of time what he
76
means by you're doing my ears a favor is
77
that his students are playing music so badly
78
that he is relieved to take a break from hearing them
79
let's now take a look at the connected speech in this
80
sentence what can i do for you principal arroyo i wanted
81
to deliver the good news personally first this is one single
82
word chunk what can i do for you what can i do for you but
83
if you first divide it into two you'd first say what
84
can i what is said with a stop t what not
85
a true t what can is reduced to can in do for you for is also reduced for.
86
This is the whole sentence with IPA symbols.
87
What can I do for you?
88
What can I do for you?
89
If your job is part -time, it means that you work for only a part of the usual working day.
90
In this clip, Joe is a substitute teacher, meaning he's stepping in for the regular teacher who at the moment isn't available because of an illness or other reasons.
91
On the other hand, a full -time job is one in which you spend most of your available time doing, usually considered 40 hours a week.
92
Let's analyze the pronunciation of this sentence.
93
He barely emits the T in but he says, but Joe.
94
Note the clear Z sound in has and always, but Joe has always dreamed of being something else.
95
Normally when you see the letter S in a final position after a vowel sound, it is pronounced as z.
96
In dreamed of being, there's a link between the last D in dream and of, dreamed of being.
97
By the way we've seen a couple examples already in this lesson of fascinating speech.
98
Now do you get frustrated when you speak like this and you can't understand?
99
If you're like most learners that I know, I'm sure that your answer was an emphatic yes.
100
Well I'm here to tell you that it does not have to be frustrating.
101
That's exactly why we created our masterclass to help you master the three keys to understanding natives at any speed,
102
which are vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural context.
103
It's absolutely free, so I highly recommend that you give it a try so
104
that you can take a step closer to reaching your dreams of understanding English as well as you understand your native language.
105
Just click up here or down in the description below to get started.
106
This to mean that even though Joe's day job is being a teacher, his real passion is being a musician, more specifically a pianist.
107
To pursue a dream is a way of saying that you're working hard to make your dreams come true.
108
We also commonly say to go after a dream or to chase a dream.
109
it takes a lot of work to achieve your dreams there's always the idea that they are elusive.
110
So that's why we use these words that in their literal sense mean to try to catch a person or an
111
animal hello how you been mr g uh it's curly lamont
112
lamont baker hey curly hey good to hear your voice man uh yeah listen You can call me Joe now, Curly.
113
I'm not your teacher anymore.
114
Okay, Mr. Gardner.
115
Hey, look, I'm the new drummer in the Dorothea Williams Quartet, and we're kicking off our tour with the show at the Half Note tonight.
116
Dorothea Williams?
117
Are you kidding me?
118
Are you kidding me?
119
Congratulations, man.
120
Wow.
121
I would die a happy man if I could perform with Dorothea Williams.
122
Oh, well, this could be your lucky day.
123
There's this big gig that's coming up, and he wants to go play for it and he finally goes
124
and auditions and he gets lost and for musicians
125
or anybody out there
126
when you get lost in your craft he's just in his thing auditioning no nerves he just went
127
and they said wow you're great you will have the gig
128
and then has a accident that causes his soul to leave his body
129
and almost go to the great beyond and
130
so he is trying to get back into his body and back to his life
131
this question is also interesting as an expression a lot of
132
students ask me what's the difference between how are you
133
and how have you been
134
when you ask how have you been you're casually asking how life has been for
135
that person since the last time you saw him or her.
136
Also, natives often reduce this to, have you been?
137
How are you is simply used to ask about a person's state or feeling in the present moment.
138
with the show at the half note tonight dorothea williams are you kidding me are you kidding me
139
congratulations man the phrasal verb to kick something off means to start
140
that thing in this case they're starting the tour
141
which is a journey in which a person
142
or group visits several different places in order to play
143
or perform when joe hears he's playing with dorothea williams he is very surprised
144
so he expressed this by saying are you kidding me wow i would die a happy man
145
if i could perform with Dorothea Williams.
146
Oh well this could be a lucky day.
147
To die a happy man or woman is a phrase that expresses extreme happiness.
148
This is also used to literally describe a person's status or condition before they passed away.
149
Example, he died a hero.
150
Now let's go back to hearing Jamie Foxx talk about this once -in -a -lifetime opportunity that Joe came across.
151
There's this big gig that's coming up.
152
A gig is a performance by a musician or a group of musicians.
153
the beatles tribute band plays several gigs every weekend this is
154
also an informal word used to refer to a job especially one
155
that doesn't last for a long time check out this example
156
you're gonna be great jared i'm just
157
so excited about this gig sir i mean what a what
158
a sweet gig i've got a gig yeah you're saying gig a lot oh
159
so i haven't worked in a while uh
160
and he wants to go play for it and he finally goes
161
and auditions and by play for it he means
162
that he needs to play well enough to convince dorothea
163
or the person in charge of selecting the best musician an audition is an occasion where an actor
164
or singer performs in front of a judge and
165
if they're good enough they can get a role in a play movie etc
166
or as in this case play an instrument in a concert
167
or gig this is commonly used as a verb to audition uh he gets lost
168
and for musicians or anybody out there
169
when you get lost in your craft he's just in his thing auditioning no nerves he just went and they I said, wow, you're great.
170
You will have the gig.
171
Sorry, I zoned out a little back there.
172
And then has an accident that causes his soul to leave his body and almost go to the great beyond.
173
And so he is trying to get back into his body and back to his life.
174
The soul is defined by the part of a person that is not physical and that contains their character, thoughts, and feelings.
175
The great beyond is another term for heaven the afterlife
176
or a mystical place where the soul of a person goes after they die.
177
So we still have one more clip to learn with, but I have a quick question.
178
Do you love Disney movies like this one?
179
Then next you should check out this playlist where you will find a bunch of other lessons with Disney movies
180
that you will adore.
181
You can find that clicking up here or down in the description below.
182
Uh, hey, uh, is this heaven?
183
No. Is it H -E double hockey sticks?
184
Help.
185
Quiet coyote.
186
It's easy to get turned around.
187
This isn't the great beyond.
188
It's...
189
The Great Before.
190
The Great Before?
191
I play a character named 22 who is a soul that's never been born
192
because even though the people in The Great Before have been trying to convince her, she's had a lot of mentors trying to convince her that life is great and she should go live on Earth,
193
she is very suspect of it.
194
She thinks it sounds scary, painful, difficult, depressing, smelly.
195
She just doesn't want any part of it.
196
She is Joe's chance.
197
If he can kind of convince her to go back, then maybe he'll get a chance to go back also.
198
Heaven or paradise is the opposite of hell.
199
Joe's soul is apparently so scared at the possibility
200
that where he wound up is hell that he doesn't even want to utter it, so he spells it, and in a rather childish way by double hockey sticks he
201
means double l a hockey stick looks like a capital l
202
by quiet coyote she's gently asking these young souls to be quiet then she made this hand gesture
203
because it looks like a coyote closing its mouth so as not to make any noise Also notice the pronunciation, coyote.
204
To get turned around means to get lost.
205
I play a character named 22 who is a soul that's never been born, because even though the people in the great before have been
206
trying to convince her there are some interesting features of connected speech
207
and how she says have been trying to convince her have is reduced to of
208
and connects to people people of the g in trying isn't pronounced in fact to gets reduced
209
and morphs with trying resulting in tryna finally the h in her is dropped as well
210
and connects to convince convince her she's had a lot of mentors trying to convince her
211
that life is great and she should go live on earth.
212
A mentor is an experienced person who advises and helps a less experienced person.
213
You took away my future, I'm simply returning the favor.
214
Oh don't worry, I'll be a good mentor, supportive, encouraging, everything you weren't.
215
She is very suspect of it, she thinks it sounds scary, painful, difficult, depressing, smelly, she just doesn't want any part of it.
216
If you suspect something or are suspect of something, you think there's something wrong with it example no one suspected anything was wrong then
217
if you say you don't want any part of something it means
218
that you're unwilling to participate in something or be involved in any way okay
219
so now you're going to test everything you learned today by watching all the clips a final time without subtitles
220
and answering some quiz questions but before you go I wanted to remind you
221
that we make three lessons every week to help you understand natives and get confident English fluency.
222
So the fastest way to do this is by not missing a single one.

¿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.
