21
Wow.
22
They're big.
23
Oh, yeah.
24
Everybody's talking about my eggs.
25
Well, I'm giving them to you, Conan.
26
Wow.
27
These are really, these are eggs that come from where?
28
We inherited 12 chickens on our property. And so.
29
This is you and your fiance.
30
And my fiance.
31
Justin, yeah.
32
So, you know, they pop them out like crazy, so we just keep giving them away.
33
And so I figured I may as well actually give, I'd keep talking about it, so I actually thought I'd give them to you.
34
These are like super, these are fresh eggs that come from your farm.
35
Yeah, you may have a twin in there.
36
Now I'm getting sad.
37
I know.
38
Then I'll eat it!
39
Uh...
40
This is...
41
Don't feel bad, that's actually a really good egg to eat.
42
No, these are.. these look amazing.
43
Thank you so much for this.
44
How did you come to have chickens?
45
You're welcome.
46
They look so winfy on your desk, actually.
47
No, they don't.
48
They look...
49
We'll put Eisenhower next to them, and then they look masculine.
50
There we go.
51
Alright, so these advanced English expressions that you just saw highlighted in blue, we're gonna analyze all this vocabulary now now.
52
Now if your goal is to remember all these words forever, never forget them, and actually be able to use them when you speak,
53
then you'll want to practice with this lesson with Jennifer Aniston on her own app.
54
It really helps you become more fluent because on there you don't just watch it passively.
55
You can tap on the words and later also practice with vocabulary flashcards,
56
which is a scientifically proven method to expand your knowledge of words forever.
57
So click the link in the description below and continue from there.
58
And now let's break down all the advanced vocabulary.
59
At the beginning of the clip Jennifer says, These are my very own fresh eggs.
60
Which sounds like she laid the eggs herself, not the chicken.
61
Check it out.
62
What have you brought?
63
You came out with something.
64
Oh Conan, these are my very own...
65
Well, no. Fresh eggs.
66
Wow!
67
They're big!
68
That's gonna get a lot of tabloid coverage.
69
Talking about my eggs?
70
Well, I'm giving them to you, Captain.
71
Wow!
72
A tabloid is a type of newspaper or magazine that often focuses on celebrity gossip and sensational stories rather than serious news.
73
Connie is joking that the tabloids will be interested in Jennifer's story about her laying eggs herself.
74
This is, uh, these are really, these are eggs that come from where?
75
Today.
76
We inherited 12 chickens on our property, and so.. is you
77
and your fiance my fiance Justin yeah so
78
if someone in your family dies and you receive something from them like money
79
or a house that's called inheriting in this case though jennifer is using the word more casually she
80
and her fiance got 12 chickens from the previous owner
81
when he bought this property
82
that is a piece of land usually with a house on it
83
so when she says we inherited 12 chickens she just means the chickens were already there when they got the place.
84
Check out this example from the movie The Pink Panther, where they talk about inheriting an expensive diamond.
85
I'm investigating the murder of Yves Glouin.
86
Yves!
87
Fascinating man.
88
Would you happen to know what he paid for the Pink Panther?
89
He inherited it.
90
It cost him nothing. And so...
91
This is you and your fiancé.
92
And my fiancé.
93
Yeah.
94
What is a fiancé?
95
A sibling?
96
A man you're married to?
97
A man you're engaged to?
98
If you have a fiancé, that means you and this person are engaged.
99
You have formally agreed to get married, but haven't yet.
100
Jennifer is talking about Justin Thoreau, her fiancé at the time.
101
This word comes from French, but it is widely used in English.
102
It's pronounced fiancé.
103
And by the way, we refer to an engaged woman as fiancé.
104
Same pronunciation, but slightly different spelling, with two E's.
105
So, you know, they pop them out like crazy, so we just keep giving them away.
106
And so I figured I may as well actually give, I'd keep talking about it, so I actually thought I'd give them to...
107
These pop-outs is an informal way to say something comes out quickly or suddenly.
108
For example, you could say, I opened the cabinet and a spider popped out.
109
I nearly screamed.
110
So when Jennifer describes her chickens popping out eggs like crazy, this is a funny way of saying the chickens lay eggs really quickly or frequently.
111
Also, there's some nice connected speech in this phrase.
112
Connected speech is when natives cut, link, and morph words when they speak.
113
Let's listen to it again.
114
So, you know, we can't.. they pop them out like crazy.
115
Natives often drop the initial sounding pronouns like him, her, and them.
116
So what we hear a lot of times is im, er, and the em.
117
In this phrase, all the words get linked, so instead of pop them out, we hear pop him out.
118
Listen to Jennifer and repeat.
119
Pop them out like crazy.
120
Pop them out like crazy.
121
So, you know, we can't, they pop them out like crazy, so we just keep giving them away.
122
To give something away means to give it to other people for free.
123
Since the chickens are producing a lot of eggs, Jennifer and Justin can't eat them all, so they give some to their friends.
124
And, uh, so I figured I may as well actually give, I'd keep talking about it, So I actually thought I'd give them to you.
125
This is a casual way of saying, I thought, as in, I thought it'd be a good idea.
126
Check it out in this example.
127
So, uh, yeah, I was thinking maybe you didn't get that last message.
128
The last message I left or, uh, one before that.
129
So, uh, I figured it.
130
You figured what?
131
Hey, how are you?
132
How you been?
133
You could have emailed.
134
You could have sent a text.
135
Yeah, but the damnedest thing.
136
None of my devices were working.
137
So I figured I should just come and deliver the message in person.
138
This is such a great expression to use in everyday conversations.
139
And if you want to make sure that you use it next time you speak English, I highly recommend you practice the vocabulary that you learned today on our app.
140
All of these expressions are saved as smart flashcards that help you remember the words forever.
141
This is a scientifically proven way to make you more fluent
142
and capable of expressing yourself in English and all of it with our fun lessons with movies and TV series.
143
Give it a try by clicking right now in the link below.
144
These are like super, these are fresh eggs that come from your farm.
145
Yeah, you may have a twin in there.
146
Now I'm getting sad.
147
I know.
148
Then I'll eat it.
149
She's joking that one of the eggs might have two yolks inside, like twin chicks.
150
This sometimes happens in fresh eggs, especially from backyard chickens.
151
The word twin, by the way, refers to a brother or sister who was born on the same day from the same mother.
152
Don't feel bad, that's actually a really good egg to eat.
153
No, these look amazing.
154
Thank you so much for this.
155
How did you come to have chickens?
156
They look so wimpy on your desk, actually.
157
No, they don't.
158
They look...
159
A little bit.
160
We'll put Eisenhower next to them and then they look masculine.
161
There we go.
162
Wimpy means not very impressive.
163
She's saying that the eggs look small or unimpressive sitting on Connor's desk.
164
Wimpy may also be used to describe a weak person, like in this example.
165
And you told me this was a nice English lady with her wimpy brother, and she's gonna get herself killed.
166
I know because she's crazy.
167
No, they don't.
168
They look...
169
There, we'll put Eisenhower next to them and then they look masculine.
170
There we go.
171
Dwight D.
172
Eisenhower was a U.S president and a famous military general.
173
On his desk, Conor has a mug in the shape of Eisenhower that serves as a pencil holder.
174
Now let's go to the second part of the clip and we're gonna practice a lot of connected speech.
175
Let's watch it.
176
Now, I'm just curious, you bought a place, or you got a place, and they had chickens there, and you decided we're just gonna go with this?
177
Well, yeah, we were actually really excited that we were gonna, they weren't taking the chickens.
178
Okay.
179
They just told us how to feed them and what they require, and they love pasta, they love to be talked to.
180
You're feeding your chickens pasta?
181
Hey man, I just did what I was told.
182
Maybe they're playing a joke on you.
183
Skidded pasta, yeah.
184
They love lobster salad.
185
Yeah.
186
Now, I'm just curious, you bought a place, or you got a place, and they had chickens there, and you decided we're just gonna go with this?
187
When something unexpected happens, and you decide to accept it without making any changes, you might say that you're just gonna go with it.
188
Mona is surprised that Jennifer and her fiancé decided to keep the chickens
189
that came with the house instead of getting rid of them.
190
Now let's take a look at the advanced pronunciation that we hear in some phrases in this part of the clip.
191
Now, I'm just curious, you bought a place, or you got a place, and they had chickens there.
192
Something similar happens in these two phrases.
193
Bought a place and got a place.
194
In American English, when the T sound comes between two vowel sounds, it often changes to a flap T, which sounds like a soft, quick D sound.
195
So instead of bought a place, you get bought a place, and got a place becomes got a place.
196
Now try to listen and repeat.
197
You bought a place, or you got a place.
198
You bought a place, or you got a place.
199
And you decided we're just gonna go with this?
200
In casual, fast speech, the T in just is often dropped or softened.
201
So instead of we're just, you'll hear we're just.
202
The common reduction of going to is gonna.
203
And in this phrase, gonna and go get linked together in one chunk.
204
Gonna go.
205
Or just gonna go.
206
And finally, the TH from with morphs into the TH from this.
207
So we only hear one TH sound. With this.
208
Now listen and repeat.
209
And you decided we're just gonna go with this?
210
Yeah, we were actually really excited that we were gonna...
211
They weren't taking the chickens.
212
Okay.
213
They just told us how to feed them and what they require.
214
And in his last phrase, we already know the word just gets reduced.
215
And the D sound at the end of told smoothly links to us.
216
Just told us.
217
Now, like we saw earlier, the T in two appears between two vowel sounds, so it turns into a soft D sound.
218
Howda.
219
Howda.
220
And them becomes um again.
221
Feed them.
222
Just told us how to feed them.
223
Okay.
224
They just told us how to feed them and what they require and they love pasta.
225
They love to be talked to.
226
Jennifer means that chickens love attention and enjoy it when humans speak to them.
227
This is the passive form of the verb, which can be tricky in English.
228
To talk to, to be talked to.
229
Hey man, I just did what I was told.
230
Maybe they're playing a joke on you.
231
Feated pasta!
232
Yeah!
233
They love lobster salad!
234
If you play a joke on someone, you're tricking them just for fun.
235
The idea of chickens eating pasta sounds pretty weird.
236
So Kona jokes that maybe the previous owner was just making fun of Jennifer.
237
Hey man, I just did what I was told.
238
Maybe they're playing a joke on you.
239
Feated pasta, yeah.
240
They love lobster salad.
241
Lobster salad is a fancy dish made with lobster meat, which is seen as expensive and luxurious in American culture.
242
All right, guys, are you ready to test your comprehension by watching the entire clip again, this time without any subtitles?
243
Let's do this, and I'm gonna ask you some quiz questions.
244
My eggs well a tabloids more like a International newspaper Encyclopedia or gossip magazine
245
I'm giving them to you wow This is these are really these are eggs
246
that come from where today we inherited 12 chickens on our property
247
and so this is you and your fiance and my fiance Justin yeah
248
so you know what does the phrase inherited mean here
249
acquired unexpectedly together with the property we can't we they pop them out like crazy
250
so we just keep giving them away and
251
so I figured I may as well actually give I'd keep talking about it
252
so I actually thought I'd give them to you.
253
These are like super these are fresh eggs that come from your farm.
254
If you have too many eggs and can't eat them all you can give them away, give them out, or give them up.
255
You may have a twin in there.
256
Now I'm getting sad.
257
I know.
258
Then I'll eat it.
259
Don't feel bad, that's actually a really good egg to eat.
260
When Aniston says, you may have a twin in there, what does she mean?
261
There may be two identical eggs, some surprise inside the egg, two yolks inside one egg.
262
No, these are, these look amazing.
263
Thank you so much for this.
264
How did you come to have chickens?
265
They look so wimpy on your desk, actually.
266
No, they don't.
267
They look, we'll put Eisenhower next to them and then they look masculine.
268
There we go.
269
The word wimpy describes someone who is weak or lacking courage.
270
Is that true or false?
271
Now, I'm just curious, you bought a place, or you got a place, and they had chickens there, and you decided we're just gonna go with this?
272
Well, yeah, we were actually really excited that we were gonna, they weren't taking the chickens.
273
Okay.
274
They just told us how to feed them and what they require, and they love pasta, they love to be talked to.
275
You're feeding your chickens pasta?
276
What does the phrase, love to be talked to, most likely mean?
277
You love talking to someone, you love it when someone is talking to you.
278
Hey man, I just did what I was told.
279
Maybe they're playing a joke on you.
280
Feated pasta, yeah.
281
They love lobster salad.
282
Haha, yeah, great job.
283
Now remember to go and practice everything they learned today on the RealLife app.
284
I'm going to leave the link in the description below so you can start your vocabulary practice right away.
285
I would be on set working.
286
I'd come and sit in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
287
And it was, it was becoming a problem.
288
I was just obsessed with it and I was obsessed to find out what they thought about me.
289
So I decided to make an announcement and say that I'm taking a break from social media.
290
And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that.
291
And they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown.
292
They took the story in the wrong direction.
293
Oh, look, he's not the perfect happy-go-lucky kid you think he is.
294
He's having a nervous breakdown in New York.
295
Kind of painted people looking for help in the wrong light.

¿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.
