Hmm.
44
A simple thing is getting a nice message from a friend.

You know, just a, hello, how are you?
46
It makes me smile.
47
I love that.
48
It's small, but it really changes your day.
49
For me, finishing all my work for the day makes me feel happy.
50
Yes.
51
That feeling of, okay, I am done is fantastic.
52
You feel light and free.
53
Exactly.
54
Also, my cat makes me happy.
55
She does funny things and it just makes me laugh.
56
Pets are the best for that.
57
They are so good at making us happy.
58
So happy is a great feeling.
59
What about the opposite?
60
The opposite would be sad.
61
And it's okay to feel sad.
62
Everyone feels sad sometimes.
63
Of course.
64
It's a normal part of life.
65
What is a situation that makes you feel sad?
66
For me, I feel sad when I miss my family.
67
They live in a different city,
68
so sometimes I just miss talking with them.
69
I completely understand that.
70
people you love is a real reason to feel sad.
71
For me, I feel sad when a friend is sick or has a problem.
72
Yes, because you care about them and you want them to be okay.
73
Exactly.
74
Or another small thing, if I make plans with a friend and they have to cancel.
75
I understand, but I still feel a little sad.
76
Me too.
77
You get ready to go out and then,
78
oh, the plan has changed.
79
It's a little disappointing.
80
Disappointing, yes.
81
That's a good word.
82
It can make you feel a bit sad.
83
So these are real, everyday reasons.
84
It's not always something big.
85
Right.
86
Okay, what about another very common feeling,
87
especially after a long day?
88
Oh, you must mean tired.
89
Yes, tired.
90
I think we all know this feeling very well.
91
I definitely do.
92
Waking up very early for a meeting makes me tired for the whole day.
93
Oh yes, that 6am alarm is not a happy sound.
94
For me, a very busy day makes me tired.
95
When I have to run around to different places,
96
do many things, at the end of the day, I am so tired.
97
I know that feeling.
98
Your legs feel tired, your brain feels tired,
99
you just want to sit on the sofa.
100
And not move.
101
Also, studying can make you tired.
102
When you read and read for a long time,
103
your brain says, OK, stop now.
104
That's so true.
105
It's a different kind of tired, a mental tired.
106
Yes.
107
So there is physical tired and mental tired.
108
Very interesting.
109
It is.
110
OK, here's another one.
111
What do you call the feeling you get around 1 p.m when you haven't had lunch?
112
I know that one very well.
113
That is hungry.
114
Yes, I get very hungry if I don't have breakfast.
115
My stomach starts making noises.
116
Mine too.
117
It's not a good feeling to be very hungry.
118
It makes it hard to think.
119
I agree.
120
And when I'm hungry, I want something salty, like fries.
121
What about you?
122
I usually want a big bowl of pasta when I'm really hungry.
123
Something warm and good.
124
Mmm, that sounds delicious.
125
And what's the feeling when your mouth is dry and you need a drink?
126
That is thirsty.
127
After exercise, I am always very thirsty.
128
Yes.
129
After a run or a workout, you need water.
130
Or just on a very hot day.
131
It's easy to feel thirsty.
132
It is.
133
It's your body telling you, hey, I need water.
134
It's important to listen.
135
Okay, we have some good basic feelings.
136
What about a stronger one?
137
For example, when you miss the bus.
138
Oh, I feel angry.
139
Or maybe frustrated.
140
Yes.
141
Angry is a good word for it.
142
It's a hot, strong feeling.
143
It is.
144
I feel angry when things don't work.
145
Like my computer is very,
146
very slow, and I have a lot of work to do.
147
Oh, that is the worst.
148
You click, and you wait, and wait.
149
It makes me feel very impatient.
150
And a little angry.
151
Me too.
152
Or when I am trying to explain something and the other person is not listening,
153
they're looking at their phone.
154
Oh, that makes me feel angry too.
155
It feels rude.
156
It does.
157
So angry is another one of those feelings that happens to everyone.
158
For sure.
159
Now let's talk about a fun one.
160
The feeling you have before a vacation or before the weekend.
161
Oh, that's a great feeling.
162
It's excited.
163
Yes, I love feeling excited.
164
This Friday, a good friend is coming to visit me.
165
I am so excited.
166
That's wonderful.
167
See, that's a perfect reason.
168
You have a fun plan so you feel excited.
169
I get excited when I am going to try a new restaurant.
170
Ooh, me too.
171
You look at the menu online and think about all the good food.
172
Yes, I do exactly that.
173
It's a very happy, energetic feeling.
174
You feel like you can't wait.
175
Is it Friday yet?
176
That's the feeling.
177
That's it.
178
It's a very positive, forward-looking feeling.
179
I like it a lot.
180
Me too.
181
Now, what about a feeling that is not so positive,
182
like when you hear a loud thunderstorm at night?
183
For that, I would feel scared.
184
Yes, scared.
185
A sudden loud noise can make you feel scared.
186
Your heart beats fast.
187
It does.
188
Or, for example, if you are walking and a big dog starts running toward you,
189
even if it's friendly, for one second you feel scared.
190
That's a great example.
191
You don't know what will happen.
192
That feeling of, oh no, is being scared.
193
Right.
194
It's a feeling that tells our body to be careful, to pay attention.
195
That's a good way to look at it.
196
Okay, here's the situation.
197
You are at the doctor's office.
198
You are waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
199
How do you feel?
200
I feel bored.
201
So, so bored.
202
Yes, waiting with nothing to do is the definition of bored.
203
It is.
204
You read all the magazines,
205
you look at your phone,
206
and you still have more time to wait.
207
That is feeling bored.
208
I feel bored when I have to do the same easy thing again and again.
209
It makes the time feel so slow.
210
Oh, yes.
211
A repetitive task.
212
Your mind just goes to sleep.
213
So, what do you do when you are bored?
214
I try to listen to a podcast, like this one.
215
Or I call my mom.
216
Good ideas.
217
I try to read a book on my phone.
218
Anything to make my brain busy again.
219
Exactly.
220
Okay, one more.
221
What is the feeling when you see a friend in the supermarket and you didn't know they were in town?
222
Oh, I feel surprised.
223
Yes.
224
Wow.
225
Paul, what are you doing here?
226
That feeling.
227
That's a great feeling.
228
A happy surprise.
229
You feel your eyes get wide?
230
Yes.
231
I also feel surprised when someone gives me a compliment I don't expect.
232
Like, I really like your shirt.
233
Oh, that's a nice surprise.
234
It can make your whole day better.
235
It can.
236
A surprise is just something you don't expect.
237
It can be big or small.
238
That's the key, the unexpected.
239
Wow, Emily, this is a fantastic list of feelings.
240
It is, and the reasons are all from normal, everyday life.
241
They are, and this is so helpful.
242
Now our listeners can say more than, I'm fine, thanks.
243
I hope so.
244
They can say, I'm a little tired today,
245
or I'm excited for the weekend.
246
It makes conversations much more interesting and real.
247
You connect with people.
248
You really do.
249
When you share how you really feel,
250
it helps people understand you better.
251
I agree completely.
252
And it's good to remember,
253
all these feelings are normal.
254
Nobody is happy all the time.
255
That is the most important thing to remember.
256
It's okay to have a day where you feel sad or angry or bored.
257
Exactly.
258
And the next day you can feel happy or excited.
259
Feelings change.
260
Just like the weather.
261
Perfect analogy.
262
So Emily, how are you feeling right now after our great conversation?
263
I am feeling really happy and very satisfied.
264
I think this was a very helpful conversation.
265
And still a little hungry.
266
How about you?
267
I feel great.
268
I'm happy we talked about this.
269
And I am excited for our listeners to use these new words.
270
Me too.
271
I think this was a wonderful chat.
272
And it seems we're at the end of our episode.
273
I think we are.
274
Time goes fast when you're having fun.
275
It does.
276
So to all our listeners,
277
we have a question for you.

Why practice speaking with this video?
Practicing speaking English is essential to developing fluency and confidence. This video focuses on daily conversations about feelings, a relatable and invaluable topic for learners. Engaging with the content allows you to mirror real-life interactions, aiding in your ability to express emotions effectively. By utilizing shadow speech techniques, you can imitate the intonation and rhythm of native speakers, enhancing your overall communication skills. Furthermore, exploring how people articulate their feelings provides context on cultural nuances, helping you understand conversations in various social settings.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the video, several key expressions and grammatical structures are used, which are beneficial for English learners:
- Present Continuous Tense: "I am feeling good." This structure is useful for describing your current emotional state.
- Simple Present: "It makes me smile." This phrase exemplifies how to convey what brings you joy and can be adapted to different feelings.
- Expressions of Happiness: Phrases like "getting a nice message from a friend" illustrate how to share positive experiences. Learning expressions related to feelings enables you to communicate more openly and authentically.
- Inquiring About Feelings: The question "How are you?" is a versatile opener for conversations. It invites others to express their current feelings and shows genuine interest.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice speaking along with this video, be aware of certain pronunciation challenges:
- Happy: The 'h' sound at the beginning can be tricky, particularly for non-native speakers. Ensure you pronounce it clearly to avoid sounding like "appy."
- Feeling: The transition from 'ee' to 'ling' can create difficulties. Focus on maintaining an even flow to sound more natural.
- Message: Certain accents may drop the 'g' at the end, making it sound like "messag." Pay attention to how speakers maintain the 'g' sound to pronounce it correctly.
Practicing these expressions and navigating common pronunciation traps with shadow speak techniques will significantly improve your English pronunciation and verbal skills. Immerse yourself in this video to enhance your learning experience while developing a deeper understanding of emotional expressions in English conversations.
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.
