2

3
Hey everyone!
4
If this is your first time here, welcome to the family.
5
Hello, I would like to open a bank account, please.
6
Would you like a savings account or a current account?
7
A current account, please.
8
Thank you.
9
Tom, I'm actually a little bit nervous about today's topic.
10
Wait, why?
11
What happened?
12
Okay, so last week I had to go to the bank by myself, in English, and I had no idea what to say.
13
Oh no, what did you do?
14
I just smiled and nodded at everything the bank worker said, and then I signed something, And I still don't know what it was.
15
Oh, Lily, you can't just sign things you don't understand.
16
I know.
17
I know!
18
That is why today's lesson is so important.
19
Exactly!

24
We post new lessons every day, and we want you in our family.
25
Okay, let's go.
26
But first, I have a question for you, our amazing viewers.
27
Ooh, yes!
28
Write your answer in the comments below.
29
We read every single one.
30
Here is today's question: Do you have a bank account?
31
What was the first thing you bought with your own bank card?
32
My first purchase with my own card was a large pizza.
33
I remember I was so proud of myself.
34
Mine was a video game.
35
I was 12 years old and I felt like a millionaire.
36
Tell us your story in the comments.
37
We are waiting.
38
OK, so Lily, let's pretend.
39
It's Monday morning, I walk into a bank, what do I see?
40
You see a big clean room, there's a long counter at the front, behind the counter there are bank workers.
41
We call them tellers.
42
Tellers, OK.
43
And I walk up to the teller and I say, "Hello, I would like to open a bank account please." And the teller gives me a form to fill in.
44
There's my name, my address, my ID number.
45
like a savings account or a current account.
46
And I had no idea what those words meant the first time someone asked me that.
47
Me neither!
48
I said, "Yes, please !" And she looked at me like… Like you were an alien?
49
Exactly like I was an alien!
50
So today, no more alien faces.
51
We explain everything.
52
Before we go into all the vocabulary, let's talk about one small but important grammar point.
53
This will help you speak politely at the bank, and polite English always works better.
54
When we make a request at the bank, we use "I would like to" or the short form "I'd like to".
55
This is more polite than just saying "I want." Listen to the difference.
56
I want to open an account.
57
I'd like to open an account, please.
58
Can you hear the difference?
59
I'd like to sounds warm and respectful.
60
Banks love this.
61
People love this.
62
So when you speak English at the bank or anywhere, try to use "I'd like to" and always add "please." Perfect.
63
Now let's get into the real vocabulary.
64
Okay, we have 10 key bank words and phrases for you today.
65
Are you ready?
66
Grab a notebook, grab a pen.
67
Here we go!
68
Word number one: bank account.
69
A bank account is a place where you keep your money safely at the bank.
70
The bank holds it for you.
71
There are two main types.
72
First, a savings account.
73
This is where you save money.
74
You put money in and you try not to take it out.
75
Key word, try.
76
Yes, try.
77
The second type is a current account, also called a checking account in American English.
78
This is for everyday use.
79
You pay your bills, you buy things, you receive your salary here.
80
When I moved to a new city for university, the very first thing I did was open a current account.
81
I remember sitting across from the bank worker, completely nervous, holding my passport and trying to remember the words in English.
82
Ah, that's so relatable.
83
The bank worker was very kind.
84
She walked me through everything slowly.
85
And that's what bank workers do.
86
Don't be afraid to ask them to slow down or repeat something.
87
Word number two.
88
Two very important verbs: deposit and withdraw.
89
To deposit means to put money into your account.
90
To withdraw means to take money out of your account think
91
of it like a swimming pool deposit you pour water in withdraw you take water out
92
i like that image example sentence i'd like to deposit 200 please
93
and i'd like to withdraw 50 please tom tell them what
94
happened to you at the atm last year oh no okay so I meant to deposit money into my account,
95
but I pressed the wrong button and I withdrew money instead.
96
No!
97
I took out my own money.
98
I put it in and then I took it back out and I stood there confused, wondering where my money went.
99
This is the funniest story.
100
He called me at nine in the morning panicking.
101
Know your deposit from your withdraw, everyone, please.
102
Word 3.
103
ATM.
104
An ATM is the machine outside or inside the bank where you can take out cash, check your balance, and sometimes deposit money without talking to a person.
105
ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine, but nobody says that.
106
Everyone just says ATM.
107
You put your card in, type your PIN, that's your secret number, and then you choose what you want to do.
108
Lilly, have you ever had a problem at an ATM?
109
Yes!
110
The machine ate my card once.
111
What?
112
I put my card in, the machine made a strange noise, and then it just kept the card.
113
It didn't give it back.
114
What did you do?
115
I went inside the bank and explained.
116
The teller said my card was expired.
117
It was too old.
118
And that's why the machine kept it.
119
She gave me a new one.
120
So, important lesson: always check your card's expiry date.
121
That's the date printed on the front of your card.
122
When that date passes, your card stops working.
123
Word 4: Balance.
124
Your balance is the amount of money currently in your account.
125
How much money do you have right now?
126
That's your balance.
127
I'd like to check my balance, please.
128
You can check your balance at the ATM, on your phone, or by asking the teller.
129
Always know your balance before you spend money.
130
Trust me.
131
Lily is speaking from experience.
132
I one -spot concert tickets thinking I had enough money.
133
My balance said, no, I did not.
134
Did you get the tickets?
135
No, my card was declined in front of everyone at the ticket counter.
136
Aw, Lily.
137
It was a valuable English and life lesson.
138
Check your balance.
139
Word five, transfer.
140
To transfer money means to move money from one account to another.
141
You send money from your account to someone else's account.
142
I'd like to transfer $100 to my friend, please.
143
These days, most people transfer money using a phone app.
144
It's very fast and easy.
145
My little sister lives in another city.
146
Every month, I transfer money to her for her rent.
147
It takes about 30 seconds on my phone.
148
"Aww, Tom, that's so sweet of you !" She's my sister.
149
I'd do anything for her.
150
The key vocabulary here: you are the sender, you send the money.
151
The other person is the receiver, they receive the money.
152
Ahem.
153
Word 6.
154
Loan.
155
A loan is money that the bank gives you, but you must pay it back with extra money, called interest.
156
Banks give loans for big things: buying a house, buying a car, starting a business,
157
An example is: I'd like to apply for a loan, please.
158
Loans can be very helpful, but you must always make sure you can pay them back.
159
Read every document carefully.
160
And if you don't understand something, ask.
161
It's always okay to ask.
162
Which brings us to word seven: interest rate.
163
This sounds scary, but let's make it simple.
164
When the bank gives you a loan, they charge extra money for lending it to you.
165
That extra money is called interest.
166
The interest rate is the percentage they charge.
167
What is the interest rate on this loan?
168
Think of it like borrowing a pencil from a friend,
169
eraser the eraser is the interest tom's analogies are always very
170
creative thank you i work hard on them word eight exchange
171
rate this is the value of one country's money compared to
172
another country's money for example how many euros is one dollar that number is the exchange rate what is today's
173
I went to the bank to exchange my money.
174
I said, "I'd like to exchange dollars for euros, please," and they gave me a paper showing the exchange rate.
175
Did you get a good rate?
176
I had no idea if it was good or not.
177
I just nodded and said, "Thank you." We all start somewhere.
178
Word 9: Statement.
179
A bank statement is a document, on paper or on your phone, that shows all the money that came into your account and went out of your account account,
180
usually for one month.
181
Can I get a copy of my bank statement please?
182
Your statement shows the date, the amount, and what the money was for.
183
It's like a diary of your money.
184
Many places, like rental companies or government offices, will ask you for a bank statement to prove your income, so it's very useful.
185
And Word 10: Customer Service.
186
If you have a problem with your bank, your card is blocked, there's a wrong charge, you forgot your PIN, you go to customer service.
187
You can visit the bank, call the customer service number, or chat online.
188
Hello, I have a problem with my account.
189
Can I speak to someone in customer service, please?
190
I once had a charge on my account that I did not recognize.
191
I was worried.
192
I called customer service and explained the situation.
193
What happened?
194
It turned out it was a subscription I had forgotten about.
195
They helped me cancel it immediately.
196
Customer service workers are there to help you.
197
Don't be shy.
198
Call them.
199
OK, everyone, vocabulary review time.
200
Repeat after us, out loud.
201
Do not be shy.

Your English gets stronger every time you say the words.

227
Okay, let's review everything we learned today.
228
These are your bank words in English.
229

242
You now have everything you need to walk into a bank and feel confident in English.
243
I just want to say, learning a new language is hard.

Practice Tips
To enhance your English speaking practice skills, consider incorporating a shadowing technique with this lesson. Shadowing involves mimicking the speech of the speakers as closely as possible, which is a valuable method for improving pronunciation and fluency.
To get started, play the video at its normal speed and listen closely to how the phrases are pronounced. Then, pause after each phrase and repeat it aloud. This technique, known as shadow speech, will help you internalize the vocabulary in a natural context. You can also use a shadowing app to practice at your own pace, allowing you to slow down the audio if needed.
Since this lesson focuses on conversational interactions, pay attention to the tone and intonation used by the presenters. They convey a friendly and approachable style, making it easier for you to adopt a similar manner when communicating at the bank. Regularly practicing in this way will significantly boost your confidence. So, make it part of your routine to practice your IELTS speaking practice this way, and soon you'll feel like a pro at discussing banking matters in English!

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.
