Hey, Lindsay, how are you?

Hey, Michelle, doing great.

How are you today?

I'm good.

Lindsay, what's your favorite kind of book to read?

Oh, I really like reading novels.

Right now I'm reading

Wild by Cheryl Strayed, the story of the woman that hikes the Pacific Crest Trail.

It's a great one.

And she's such a good writer, actually.

You're rereading it, right?

Yes.

Wow.

That's great.

Are you finding different things from when you read it the first time.

Is this your second time or more?

It's the second time.

Yeah.

It is interesting to kind of, I am finding, I'm kind of taking it in differently.

My perspective is different from 10 or 15 years ago when I read it before.

So yeah, it is really interesting.

Do you like to read textbooks?

I can't say I do, Michelle. Do you?

No, I can't imagine just, you know, the end of the night trying to relax, you know, glass of wine and a textbook.

No, thanks.

Exactly.

But today we are going to talk about the word textbook

and we're going to talk about a really interesting way to use it.

That's not how you would think.

Yeah.

It's not boring.

Like reading a textbook.

It's actually kind of slangy and fun.

I actually, I really like it.

Yeah, exactly.

So we're going to show our listeners, let our listeners in on a little secret of how to be natural in English.

But first I do want to remind our listeners, Michelle, where is a great where's the best place to consume

this podcast oh it's on our app lindsey we have a really great app that's available for android

and ios and gosh you can get

so much over here including your personal power

or uh playlist of words right now your personal power list vocabulary words yes yeah exactly you can get transcripts

that you can follow along with it's just great, Lindsay.

And what else do we want to say about our app?

Well, we now have these special role plays.

They are vocabulary recap role plays at the end of each week.

They're only in the app.

So you won't see them if you're listening in another podcast player or YouTube.

You do need to be in the app and you do need to be a premium member to see those.

But what we do is we take all the vocabulary words

that were highlighted from the week in the transcripts in the app

and we put them into one vocab one really cool role play

so you see it in a new context

and this is what we need to learn a new word is see new contexts for words all right

that's great yeah i love it i love just mixing everything together to to finish off the week

so to get

that app guys go to allearsenglish .com app

that's a p p all right sounds good we'll see you guys over there All right.

So Lindsay, do you hear people use the word textbook when they're not talking about an actual textbook?

I definitely do, Michelle.

That's why I'm glad we're talking about this today.

So I'm excited to explain to our listeners how to do that, how to use it in more of a slang way, a commentary.

Yeah.

I've been meaning to do this episode for a while.

It always kind of enters.

I think it's one of those things where I hear it

and I think should do an episode and I hear it again.

And then finally, I'm glad I remembered to do it.

So this is a really fun one.

So when you use textbook in a different way, that doesn't actually mean a textbook.

It's used to describe people and their behavior or how something is done.

Sometimes it's a good thing.

Sometimes it's bad.

But it's mostly just saying something is exactly what is expected or what someone would imagine or how some would act.

The idea is that it is what you would see in a textbook, right?

So if you look up, you know, how something about English in a textbook,

the idea is that's what you would find if there were a textbook on this subject.

Exactly.

I love this.

And you can hear this in so many different places, right?

We have some examples

and then maybe we have some examples from our lives

it just comes up all the time from different directions right exactly

so instead of a long -winded explanation like i just gave let's give some examples yeah

that was kind of long but it was good yeah

that was a very long -winded strange explanation sorry guys well here's an example this problem is not

that complicated it's actually pretty textbook we have to remember our clients and their needs.

That must be our guide.

Okay.

So it's a standard problem.

Okay.

Standard.

That's a really good way to describe it.

Standard.

Yep.

It's like, this is the problem that we studied in marketing school, right?

For example, business school.

Right.

Okay.

100

Right. And textbook.

101

I need it in a textbook, right?

102

So it could be that something actually would have been in a textbook, but here we go.

103

Here's another one.

104

Her behavior is you textbook teenager right now i won't think anything of it textbook teenager i love it

105

that's so funny oh your kids are heading in that direction michelle get ready

106

so what does that mean

107

when i say textbook teenager don't scare me lindsay you kind of expect from a teenager a little angsty

108

when i think of teenagers i mean obviously not everyone

109

but i mean i had this you know

110

this time especially more pre -teen years early teen like 11 12 13 14 angsty, railing against their parents a little bit,

111

rebelling against their parents, talking back.

112

Right.

113

Right.

114

Right.

115

Yeah.

116

And sometimes I think as a parent, you know, it's probably pretty easy to get offended by this.

117

But so that's why somebody might say, oh, it's textbook teenager, you know, meaning they'll grow out of that.

118

This is what always happens.

119

Right.

120

Totally.

121

It's exactly what we would expect from a teenager.

122

So it's kind of a reassuring

123

when you say this to someone it normalizes what they're going through what they're dealing with yeah

124

or what's another example the eye exam didn't reveal anything

125

that wasn't textbook i think we know how to handle

126

this now sometimes you don't want to hear like for example a few weeks ago

127

i had a bout with shingles

128

which i thought was something like 80 year old women god but apparently you can get it at any age

129

and i had it on my face and it was

130

so painful and awful and i did a telehealth appointment and I thought I had hives.

131

I thought I had hives.

132

And as soon as I got on the call, the doctor saw my face and he said, Oh, this is textbook shingles.

133

It's just one side of your, of your body.

134

That's the last thing I want to hear.

135

But that is another place we might hear it from a doctor.

136

Um, they're literally saying like, this is what I studied in medical school.

137

This is a perfect presentation.

138

I know exactly what this is right you

139

and yeah you might hear also i think people in the mental health industry using this right um

140

that you know the way it it's textbook uh ocd it's textbook you know sure sure sure something like

141

that as opposed to maybe a more complicated diagnosis where maybe it's a combination of things

142

or they're not sure

143

or they're what do they call it differential diagnoses where there are other things

144

that it could be I'm not a doctor but you know

145

so this that's the opposite of this this is

146

when something is very clearly expected or kind of the presentation of something a behavior

147

or a condition right yeah exactly all right Michelle we are back

148

so how else might we express this

149

if we want to say the same thing but we don't want to always say textbook textbook

150

Well, this goes back to what you said in the beginning, standard, right?

151

So you could also say typical, standard or typical, but you could say this all looks pretty standard to me.

152

No surprises here.

153

Yep. Or quintessential.

154

Now I like this one.

155

It's a little more, has more personality.

156

I think, um, they are the quintessential cute family.

157

So much fun to be around.

158

Yeah.

159

Yeah.

160

We could do another episode on that word because that one is high level, Michelle.

161

That is definitely.

162

Or a classic.

163

You could say, this is classic

164

Tiffany late again.

165

I like that one too.

166

I like it.

167

This is what she does, right?

168

Tiffany might not love it when you say that, but what feels most natural to you, Michelle?

169

Which of these?

170

I think classic or textbook.

171

What do you think?

172

Yeah.

173

I like classic too, especially for a person.

174

This is classic you know whoever john he's doing this again

175

this is something i expect to see from him it's what he does lindsay do you have an example

176

that you can think of that's textbook in your life or

177

or what is textbook lindsay or textbook michelle do we have anything that we can think of

178

textbook lindsay is definitely coming up with lots of big ideas

179

and then getting very and trying to uh trying to execute on all of them

180

and getting stressed out that i can't get them all done you know, I love, I get like this dreaminess in this dreamy state.

181

We could do this.

182

We could do that.

183

We could do it all at the same time.

184

We don't need to wait.

185

No, we could do them all.

186

That is textbook, Lindsay.

187

What about textbook?

188

Yeah, it's good.

189

What about you, Michelle?

190

Textbook Michelle is, um, is, uh, saying that it's a good idea to go to sleep early tonight

191

and then it's 1 30 in the morning and I'm still awake.

192

You're scrolling Instagram or something.

193

Yeah.

194

Uh, so that's textbook Michelle.

195

Got it.

196

Okay.

197

Yeah.

198

You've shared with us before that you're a night owl. So interesting.

199

All right, good.

200

Yeah.

201

All right.

202

Let's do a role play.

203

So here we are reviewing notes that our friend took for us in class.

204

Okay, here we go.

205

Can you read this?

206

No. Wow, this is really textbook Michael.

207

I can never read his handwriting.

208

Yeah, it seems pretty standard to me.

209

Well, I'm just thankful for the notes.

210

Seems like this was a quintessential boring lecture.

211

Seems that way.

212

Classic for this professor.

213

That's true.

214

Yeah, very common conversation you might have with college friends, right?

215

Did you often in college have friends take notes for you and skip class or did you?

216

Oh, no, no. I'm not a class skipper.

217

No. What about you?

218

No, of course not.

219

Are you kidding me?

220

I think we're the goody two shoes.

221

We're the goody goodies.

222

Yeah.

223

No, I didn't skip class in college.

224

Nope.

225

I needed to be there taking the notes.

226

Yeah, exactly.

227

Exactly.

228

All right.

229

All right.

230

So you said, you said, can you read this?

231

And I said, no. And then you said, wow, this is really textbook Michael.

232

I can never read his handwriting.

233

So what are you saying here about Michael?

234

That we all know that he has terrible handwriting.

235

So we kind of expected it.

236

Yes, exactly.

237

And then what did I say?

238

You said, yep, seems pretty standard. So, yep.

239

Nice.

240

And then we brought in this word that I love, which is quintessential.

241

Seems like this was the quintessential boring lecture.

242

So maybe the professor is very known for these boring lectures, right?

243

He's got a reputation around campus.

244

Exactly.

245

And that's why you said, seems that way, classic for this professor.

246

Yes.

247

I love this conversation.

248

Really good.

249

Really good.

250

Yeah.

251

Where else can our listeners go, Michelle, to keep listening to Allers English today?

252

Guys, go on over to episode 2366.

253

That was Don't Blow Off This English Vocabulary Episode.

254

Excellent.

255

Where should we leave our listeners?

256

This is just a really interesting way to connect.

257

I mean, we were talking about it a little bit in the beginning it can be used to reassure someone of something.

258

It can be used to poke fun of something.

259

So there's just a lot of ways that you can use this to actually connect.

260

You can even use it to poke fun at yourself.

261

So this is very versatile, this word and this idea.

262

And it's definitely a good idea to give it a try.

263

But I wouldn't say everything is textbook, right?

264

We don't want to overdo it.

265

Yeah.

266

And there's a little bit, I think this is a fantastic word.

267

Be a little bit careful when you're, you're talking about people because maybe they're trying to change.

268

And if you're, oh, that's textbook you, you did it again, but they're actually trying to change, then that could be hurtful.

269

But generally I think this is used in a pretty harmless way.

270

Don't you think?

271

Yeah.

272

I think so.

273

I think so. But yeah.

274

So give it a try and yeah, let us know how it goes.

275

All right, Michelle, you have a great day.

276

I'll talk to you soon.

277

All right.

278

Bye.

279

Bye.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
