Hello.
2
Hello, hello.
3
Welcome to today's live English lesson here on the wonderful Speak English with Vanessa YouTube channel page.
4
Thank you for joining me.
5
I'm Vanessa, and this is my husband, Dan.
6
I'm Dan.
7
You might know me well.
8
Yes.
9
Dan is going to help today to explain three valuable English expressions.
10
One of them is a phrasal verb, one of them is an idiom, and what's the last one?
11
We got slang as well.
12
We like slang around here.
13
Yes.
14
So we'll hopefully help you to expand your vocabulary
15
and also just see some specific examples
16
when you can use this in your daily conversations or in your writing or in your job or in your travels, anytime that you use English.
17
If you're joining us live, thanks so much.
18
Let us know where you're from and let us know in the chat box.
19
We're going to be asking a lot of questions today.
20
So make sure that you interact and participate.
21
You can write out the questions.
22
You can write out your answers.
23
Even if you're not watching live, if you're watching the replay, you can do the same thing.
24
Write out the questions, write out your own answers.
25
Try to use these because that's the best way to remember what you're learning.
26
Yes.
27
And a happy, early Merry Christmas.
28
If anybody hasn't noticed our Christmas tree back here.
29
Yes.
30
I love Christmas.
31
It's my favorite time of year.
32
Yeah.
33
So we decided to open the door so that you could get a little sneak preview of our Christmas tree.
34
That was Dan's idea.
35
Thanks.
36
Yes.
37
We need the sneak preview.
38
Yes.
39
Yes.
40
Thank you everyone who's joining us from Mexico, India, Brazil, Japan, Yemen, Colombia, Egypt, Hungary.
41
Thank you so much for joining us.
42
Peru, Turkey, Morocco.
43
Wow.
44
Kurdistan.
45
I've never been there.
46
Everywhere around the world.
47
Thanks so much.
48
I'd like to start by asking you the first question.
49
Okay.
50
And my first question is, well, it has to do with something that happened this week.
51
We had a friend who invited us to an escape room for her birthday, but I had never heard of that.
52
So could you explain it to me?
53
What's an escape room?
54
Because if my friend's inviting me there for her birthday, I want to know what I'm going to do.
55
Yeah.
56
An escape room.
57
I don't know if they do this in other countries yet, but it's started to get kind of popular in America.
58
So you actually pay to get locked up in a room.
59
Yes.
60
So, and it's filled with puzzles.
61
So you have to, one might say, figure out some puzzles.
62
Yes.
63
So I've done one before.
64
And I remember they started me off in the room in handcuffs with all the lights off.
65
And you were with other people or were you alone?
66
I was with other people.
67
It'd be a little scary alone, I think.
68
I guess you could do it alone, but it's fun as maybe a group activity that's why we got invited to a friend's house.
69
Right.
70
And they call it an escape room because you're supposed to escape the room.
71
That's the point of the game.
72
So I don't know, do they have that in your countries?
73
Yeah.
74
Are escape rooms becoming popular in your country?
75
So the kind of
76
principle of this type of activity is that you have to figure out how to get out of the room.
77
What is this lovely phrasal verb here?
78
Figure out.
79
Figure out.
80
That means to learn how to do something.
81
And it usually means it's a little difficult.
82
You're working on something.
83
Maybe you have a really hard math problem.
84
This happened to me all the time when I was in school.
85
Math was not my strong suit.
86
So I had to figure out how to solve the problem.
87
Yes.
88
You had to figure out.
89
So this kind of implies a process.
90
It's difficult.
91
Maybe you have to look from one resource to the next resource and ask someone.
92
You have to do some problem solving, kind of like you can imagine
93
if Dan's in a dark room with his friends handcuffed
94
and they have to figure out how to get out of the room, that involves a process.
95
Yeah.
96
You have to problem solve and figure out other things.
97
So I want to know for you, my question for you is, when was a time you had to figure out how to solve a problem?
98
You can also say, figure it out.
99
Figure it out.
100
So when would we use figure it out?
101
Yeah.
102
If you're already in the process of working on something, you might just say to yourself, oh man, I really need to figure it out.
103
Yeah.
104
So the other day - I need to figure this out.
105
I was in the office, in this room, and I think I made some kind of sound, some kind of frustrated sound.
106
And you said from the other room, hey Vanessa, are you okay?
107
And I said, oh, it's fine, I'll figure it out.
108
I didn't tell him any specifics.
109
I didn't say, I'm working on this problem on the website, and technical things are sometimes frustrating to me.
110
I didn't give him any details.
111
I just said, I'll figure it out.
112
She knew I wouldn't be able to figure it out.
113
I didn't want to explain those details.
114
She figured it out on her own.
115
Yes.
116
So do you think that this is an expression and a phrasal verb that you could use .. in a workplace situation, if you have some kind of problem,
117
it's useful for those kind of professional situations, certainly.
118
So maybe if you have a problem on some kind of report
119
that you're working on and you want to ask a coworker about it.
120
Can you help me figure this out?
121
Figure this out.
122
That would be polite and it's acceptable.
123
It's not slang.
124
Yeah, it's not slang.
125
It can be polite and you can split this phrasal verb like Dan just did,
126
figure it out or figure this out or figure this problem out, figure this thing out.
127
So you can split it or you can keep it together, no problem.
128
We've got two different choices.
129
So a lot of you are writing wonderful expressions here.
130
I see Zahira says, I will figure out how to get confident in English.
131
That's a good one.
132
That is a great one.
133
So here we can kind of imagine that you're solving the problem.
134
You're working through this issue and you're going to figure it out.
135
I will figure it out.
136
I know I'll do it.
137
I couldn't figure out what my boss was talking about as I don't speak Mongolian.
138
That's a good one too.
139
I couldn't figure it out in the negative.
140
Yes.
141
So when you're using this in the negative version, just like we saw here in this sample sentence from those of you who are here live with us saying, I couldn't figure out what my boss was saying.
142
Or maybe if you had an English teacher who just talked way too fast and talked about too many complex things, then maybe you would say,
143
oh, I can't figure out what Vanessa's saying.
144
She's just talking too fast.
145
We have a question.
146
Is find out similar?
147
Oh, this is a great question.
148
Find out.
149
I want to give you a little tip.
150
Maybe a year ago, over a year ago, or maybe less than a year ago.
151
I'm not sure.
152
I made a video comparing figure out and find out.
153
After this is finished, I'll link this video up here and then also in the description, but I want you to get some more details about that.
154
If I said, I'm going to find out who is at the door.
155
That means you're going to discover.
156
You're going to see, find out.
157
You don't know right now, and then you're going to to find out, you're going to discover.
158
It kind of doesn't imply that process, you're searching a difficult thing.
159
Instead, it's an instant thing like, aha, I opened the door and I can see who's there.
160
I'm going to find out who's there.
161
Yeah.
162
Maybe if you said, I'm going to figure out who's at the door, maybe you hear a knock on the door and you look through the hole and you don't see anybody.
163
Or maybe somebody's He's wearing a mask and then they give you a puzzle.
164
Yeah.
165
So it just kind of implies a process.
166
It needs to be more involved.
167
Yeah.
168
So if you would like some more details about figure out versus find out, feel free to check out that video.
169
But in general, figure out means there's some process.
170
You're searching, you're figuring out how to do something.
171
We often add how at the end, figure out how to escape from the room,
172
figure out how to become a confident English speaker and find out is just the solution.
173
Find out what is happening.
174
Find out who is at the door.
175
I want to find out what presents are under my Christmas tree.
176
Are there any presents under our Christmas tree?
177
There are no presents.
178
Maybe someday there will be presents under the tree.
179
Christmas is ruined.
180
Oh, well, when you have a toddler.
181
It's still early.
182
You can't put Christmas presents under the tree early.
183
It's a recipe for getting them opened.
184
Yes.
185
All right.
186
I'd like to go to the second expression, which is an idiom.
187
Mm -hmm.
188
And this past week, our car was doing some kind of funny things, making some funny sounds.
189
And I noticed that you didn't fix the car yourself.
190
You took it to the mechanic.
191
Why did you take the car to the mechanic?
192
Well, I'm not a mechanic.
193
I'm not very handy.
194
Handy means you can fix a lot of things.
195
I'm kind of handy, but not with cars.
196
So I am in over my head when it comes to fixing cars.
197
I would be in over my head if I tried to fix my car.
198
In over my head.
199
A lovely idiom.
200
In over my head.
201
We need four words here.
202
Well, we can kind of imagine the feeling of being overwhelmed.
203
You're completely surrounded or covered in the problem.
204
So here we can imagine Dan opening the car, trying to fix the problem.
205
He's trying to figure out what's making that strange sound.
206
He's trying to look around.
207
I'm ripping pieces out of the car.
208
Oh, and he thinks, oh, it's going to be a disaster.
209
I should just go to the mechanic because I am in over my head.
210
There's a problem that's too big.
211
You can think of swimming in the ocean.
212
If you're drowning, the water's over your head, you're in trouble yes you're uh you're struggling i think that's
213
a great image i think this is where this comes from yeah i kind of
214
when i think of this expression i do think of water
215
that you're in the swimming pool or in the ocean
216
and the water's getting higher and higher and
217
when the water is over your head bad news yeah i mean really
218
that probably means you're going to die yeah
219
so this is a little bit of a expression that's not literal obvious that's why it's an idiom right
220
so you're just in trouble Yes.
221
You're in big trouble.
222
In over your head.
223
So I want to know for you, when was a situation that was just too much for you and you felt like you were in over your head?
224
What was the time maybe you decided to volunteer at your
225
job to be the person who helps the American director who's coming to your office?
226
And you said, sure, I'll talk to the American director.
227
I'll take him out to dinner.
228
I'll guide him around the office.
229
I can speak English.
230
This is fine.
231
And then you meet him and you realize he has a strong Southern accent.
232
Hey folks.
233
Oh, maybe at the end of that day, you feel like I was in over my head.
234
This situation was too much for me.
235
I can understand English, but I didn't realize that his accent would be so strong.
236
I was in over my head.
237
Yeah.
238
I have a personal example.
239
Yes.
240
What's your personal example?
241
So we used to teach English in South Korea, you probably know this, and I had never taught children before.
242
So the first time I had to teach a class of children, I was in over my head.
243
In over my head because the children, they didn't necessarily respect me yet.
244
I'm different looking in South Korea, my red hair and my freckles they thought it was weird they didn't take me seriously they started yelling and screaming
245
I was in over my head
246
because I didn't know what to do about it yes
247
and over time you learned more and more what to do
248
but that's a perfect situation a perfect expression to use especially
249
for your first day at school your first day as a
250
teacher your first day at your job maybe your first day living in the US
251
or if you moved to Australia this happens a lot I was in over my head that first day, but eventually it got better.
252
So I want to know for you, when was a situation when you were in over your head?
253
Tell us about it.
254
Yes.
255
Let us know in the comments.
256
Make sure that you use this expression as much as you can.
257
I'd like to read a sentence that one of you wrote.
258
I was in over my head.
259
I was stressed.
260
I couldn't do it.
261
Oh, stress is usually associated with being in over your head.
262
You're stressed.
263
You're overwhelmed.
264
Yes, it's just too much.
265
I'm in over my head.
266
Khalid says, I'm in over my head.
267
The American director speaks too fast.
268
That's a good example.
269
I hope that that didn't happen to you, but if this happened, you're going to use a beautiful idiom to describe it.
270
Yes.
271
Oh, I'm in over my head.
272
Are you in over your head when you watch Vanessa's videos?
273
I hope not.
274
Oh yes.
275
I hope that you can easily understand and you're not too cool for my videos.
276
But she's a little advanced.
277
Sure.
278
If you're here, that means you can already understand two native English speakers.
279
Congratulations.
280
But hopefully it means that you're learning something new while also understanding most of our explanations.
281
I just used our third expression.
282
You did.
283
The slang expression.
284
I hope you're not too cool for these videos.
285
Ooh, too cool for.
286
Yeah.
287
So I want to know when you were a teenager, what was something that you decided that you didn't want to do anymore?
288
Yeah, I can actually go back to when I was younger.
289
Okay.
290
Even when I was a kid, when I was eight years old, I was too cool for Barney.
291
You know who Barney is?
292
Barney is a kid's TV show.
293
It's probably popular around the world.
294
It's a big purple dinosaur.
295
He's a big purple dinosaur in a big costume.
296
And he's, I'm happy.
297
And I remember being as a kid, I was too cool for Barney.
298
And this means that I thought it was dumb.
299
I wouldn't watch it myself.
300
If somebody was watching this show, I would maybe look down on them.
301
They're children.
302
Yeah.
303
They're children.
304
Children watch this.
305
I'm too old and too cool for this.
306
I don't watch Barney.
307
Oh.
308
I'm too cool for Barney.
309
Yeah.
310
So I feel like this slang expression, too cool - Barney, B -A -R -N -Y.
311
N -E -Y?
312
E -Y?
313
E -Y?
314
E -Y?
315
Something like that.
316
I'm sure you'll find the big purple dinosaur online.
317
Well, when you say too cool for something, it's pretty self -explanatory.
318
You feel like, this is for children.
319
This is for someone who is less than me.
320
So it's a slang expression where you feel like you're above some kind of item or activity or concept.
321
Oftentimes, teenagers feel like this.
322
Maybe when you were a teenager, you felt like you were too cool to...
323
hold hands with your mom when you cross to the street.
324
You said, I'm a teenager.
325
I can handle this.
326
I'm too cool for that.
327
And you kind of feel like that's for children.
328
Yes.
329
And this slang term definitely implies attitude.
330
You're not just saying, oh no, I don't like that.
331
You're saying that's stupid.
332
Yeah.
333
I'm too cool for that.
334
That's dumb.
335
I wouldn't listen to that music anymore.
336
Loser.
337
Yeah.
338
So you might hear this often used by kids, like in Dan's example about the children's TV show, or by teenagers.
339
But we can use this as adults in a joking way.
340
Because we often take expressions that are strong, and then use them in lighter situations where it's not as serious
341
and for example maybe if I want to watch I don't know
342
if you've seen the I think it's a Pixar movie Coco
343
it's really cute and I enjoyed it a lot
344
if I asked Dan hey do you want to watch Coco tonight I would say yes let's imagine
345
that he might say no let's say I'm too cool yeah
346
I might say what are you too cool to watch Coco I don't watch cartoons That's not true, but in this situation - I actually love cartoons.
347
So we might say, I might say to Dan, are you too cool for Coco?
348
Too cool for Coco?
349
Are you too cool for Pixar movies?
350
Are you too cool for animated movies?
351
So here we're using this, not in a teenager or childish way, but just in a joking way.
352
It's kind of a joke.
353
Yeah.
354
To say, oh, you think you're better than this movie?
355
it's great for everybody i enjoy it i think a lot of people have enjoyed it
356
so you can use too cool for something yes in a lot of situations
357
and by the way the original expression i think from too
358
cool is uh too cool for school we actually say
359
that still sometimes people even say
360
that like um as a good thing like wow that's too cool for school
361
and when would you use that This is taking slang to the next level, extra slang.
362
If you saw maybe like an outfit, like an outfit that was really cool, you'd say, whoa, that's too cool or that's too cool for school.
363
I wouldn't say this is extremely common, but people would understand you're not being rude.
364
Yeah.
365
So I imagine if you heard this in a TV show or a movie, now you'll feel a little more comfortable with too cool and also too cool for school,
366
which is just the rhyming original expression.
367
But yeah, the original expression was, you would say, somebody is too cool for school.
368
He's too cool for school.
369
He doesn't like to go to school.
370
He is unhappy at school.
371
He has an attitude.
372
He doesn't like reading, that kind of thing.
373
That's the original source.
374
Yeah.
375
Well, we have a lot of great sentences here from those
376
of you who are joining us live talking about - Your grandma's too cool to watch Coco.
377
Oh no. Well, Sylvester says, I will never be too cool to watch cartoons.
378
Oh, I'll never be too cool for cartoons.
379
Maybe it's because I was a child with cartoons.
380
I still like cartoons, especially Miyazaki.
381
Does anybody watch Miyazaki Japanese animation?
382
Very cool.
383
I like that.
384
Very cool.
385
Or another great comment we've got here is, I'm too cool for dancing.
386
Oh, so maybe if your friends ask you to go to a concert to dance or a club or somewhere to dance, you're like, I'm too cool for dancing.
387
I'm not too cool for dancing, but I'm bad at dancing.
388
There are lots of excuses you can give, various excuses.
389
Too cool for Brad Pitt.
390
Oh, maybe there's a lot of different ways that you can use too cool for something.
391
Well, I'd like to thank you so much for joining us to learn about phrasal verbs, idioms, and the slang expression today, figure out, in over my head,
392
and too cool for something.
393
If you enjoyed Dan and I's explanation and our little stories about this, we do this every month in the Fearless Fluency Club.
394
We make a vocabulary lesson that's about ...
395
How long would you say?
396
That's like 30, 40 minutes.
397
Oh, I'd say it's about an hour.
398
Usually, there's two parts.
399
There's two 30 -minute parts that we have for the vocabulary lessons.
400
Okay, that's true.
401
We cut it in half.
402
Yeah, we cut it in half and make two different parts.
403
So you'll get an hour of about 15 to 20 vocabulary expressions every month.
404

In December, you're going to get one of the longest grammar lessons that I've ever made it's 34 minutes,
423
but you're going to get access to this grammar lesson where we're going to discuss some excellent expressions with would have, would have.
424
Oh, this is a complex verb.
425
It seems simple, but it's quite complex.
426
So we break it down, go through it step by step, and I try to help you use it naturally.
427
Then in the next section in December, we talk about pronunciation.
428
This pronunciation lesson is extra special because we're gonna be focusing on a lot of sentences.
429
Oh, here we have a sentence with figure out.
430
They can figure things out.
431
We go through this step by step and you can figure out how to pronounce this sentence as accurately as possible.
432
And then you get to watch the conversation with my friend Faith.
433
You get to hear her naturally say this originally in the conversation
434
Because the last video is the conversation where we have a 30 -minute chat together about her interesting job working for AmeriCorps,
435
which is a nonprofit in the U .S.
436
She volunteers at different schools, at different organizations, and has an interesting perspective about education.
437
So we're going to talk about some wonderful ideas there we also focus on a story
438
that includes all of the vocabulary and grammar, all of the would -have expressions, some new expressions as well that are in the story.
439
This is a fun Christmas story because it's the December lesson set, and you can study this all together.
440
So I hope that this lesson set overall will help you to feel comfortable using English
441
and really trying to incorporate it into your daily life.
442
So if you enjoyed today's lesson, feel free to join us every month in the Fearless Fluency Club.

444

445

446
Yes, you can figure out how to use it.
447
If you're not too cool for school.
448
Yeah, don't be too cool for school.
449
Before we go today, I'd like to practice pronouncing a final sentence sentence
450
that uses two of the expressions we talked about today.
451
The sentence, I wrote it down here so that we can practice it together.
452
It is, I would like to say it slowly, and then we're going to speed it up, and I want you to say it out loud so that you can use your speaking muscles.
453
I'd like you to join me too, Dan.
454
Okay.
455
Okay.
456
I'm nervous.
457
All right, we got this.
458
The sentence is, I was in over my head before,
459
but now I figured figured out how to learn English.
460
I was in over my head before, but now I figured out how to learn English." What does this sentence mean?
461
I was in over my head before, but now I figured out how to learn English.
462
Well, this means that before today, maybe, you didn't know how to speak English at all.
463
You didn't understand me, you didn't understand Vanessa, but now you have figured it out.
464
Yes, you have figured out the best path and the best method is with Vanessa and Dan.
465
This is true.
466
So, let's speed this sentence up and I want you to pronounce it clearly and then use it yourself.
467
Are you ready?
468
I was in over my head before, but now I figured out how to learn 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.
