Making English Easy for Everyone Speak English with Jay and May Hey, English learners.
2
Welcome back to Speak English with Jay and May, your cozy little place to build your English confidence.
3
I'm May.
4
Hello, May, and hello, everyone.
5
I'm Jay.
6
How are you today, May?
7
I'm doing great, Jay.
8
Actually, I just got back from the grocery store, and the whole trip made me think about today's topic.
9
Like every single thing I did, I went there, I got some food, I put things in the basket,
10
I took my bag, all of that.
11
Every action was an English verb.
12
Wait, really?
13
Just a grocery trip gave you a whole English lesson idea?
14
Yes, that's the magic of action verbs, Jay.
15
Words like go, come, take, put, make, and get, they're everywhere – in your morning routine,
16
at work, at the store, in conversations.
17
These words are the engine of English.
18
Oh, wow!
19
So these are like the most useful verbs for beginners?
20
Absolutely!
21
Well, you can express so many things in daily life.
22
And that's exactly what we're doing today – making these verbs feel easy, natural, and fun.
23
I love that.
24
Let's go!
25
See?
26
You just used one – let's go.
27
That's our first verb right there.
28
Oh, I didn't even notice.
29
That's so cool.
30
And that's the point.
31
These verbs are already part of how you think.
32
We just need to unlock them.
33
But hey, before we dive in, real quick, if this podcast is helping your English, please subscribe, hit the like button,
34
and share it with a friend who's learning English too.
35
Turn on notifications so you never miss a daily episode from us.
36
Yes, please.
37
We make a new episode every single day, so you don't want to miss out.
38
OK, Mae, I'm ready.
39
Let's talk about these verbs.
40
Perfect.
41
So let's start with the big one, go.
42
Now Jay, what does go make you think of?
43
Umm, moving somewhere.
44
Like go to school, go to work?
45
Exactly.
46
Go is about movement, usually away from where you are right now.
47
I go to the gym every morning.
48
She goes to the market on weekends.
49
Simple, right?
50
Yeah, that feels easy.
51
But wait, what about come?
52
Isn't that similar?
53
Great question.
54
Here's the interesting part.
55
Go and come are opposites, but people mix them up all the time.
56
Go means moving away from here.
57
Come means moving toward here, toward the speaker.
58
Oh, so like, come to my house means I want you to move toward me.
59
Exactly.
60
If I say, come here, Jay, I want you close to me.
61
But if I say, go there, I'm sending you away.
62
Think of it like a magnet.
63
Come pulls, go pushes.
64
A magnet!
65
That's such a good way to think about it.
66
Come is pull, go is push.
67
You got it.
68
And here's a fun story.
69
When I was learning to give directions in English, I always got confused.
70
I'd tell someone go to me instead of come to me, and people would look at me like, what does she mean?
71
Oh no, that must have been embarrassing.
72
A little, but that mistake taught me the difference forever.
73
Mistakes are actually the best teachers, Jay.
74
Don't be afraid of them.
75
Okay, I'll remember that.
76
So what's next?
77
Next up, get.
78
And oh, this one is a superstar.
79
Get might be the most flexible verb in English.
80
You use it in so many different ways.
81
Really?
82
Like what?
83
Okay, imagine this.
84
You wake up in the morning, you get up, you get dressed, you get some coffee, you get in the car, you get to work, you get a phone call.
85
All in one morning, all using get.
86
Wow, that's a lot of get.
87
I know.
88
Get can mean receive, I got a message.
89
It can mean arrive, I got to the office at nine.
90
It can mean become, it's getting cold.
91
And it can mean obtain, can I get some water, please?
92
You mean like one word, four different meanings?
93
At least four.
94
But don't like that scare you.
95
The meaning is always clear from the situation.
96
Context is your best friend in English.
97
Okay, context.
98
Got it!
99
Oh, I said got it.
100
That's get again.
101
See?
102
You're already using it naturally.
103
This is where things change for a lot of learners.
104
They think they need to memorize grammar rules, but actually, you learn these verbs by using them.
105
That makes so much sense.
106
Okay, what about take?
107
Ah, take.
108
I love this one.
109
Take is about holding something and moving with it, or doing something.
110
Take your bag.
111
Take a photo.
112
Take a break.
113
Take a shower.
114
Wait, take a shower?
115
I'm not holding the shower and moving with it.
116
Right.
117
So take also works with actions and experiences.
118
Take a rest.
119
Take a walk.
120
Take a look.
121
In these cases, take just means you're doing that activity.
122
Oh, that's interesting.
123
So, take a look just means look?
124
Exactly.
125
It's a very natural English expression.
126
Instead of just saying look, you say take a look.
127
It sounds more polite and natural, especially in conversation.
128
I want to try.
129
Can you take a look at my homework?
130
Is that right?
131
Perfect!
132
That's exactly how a native speaker would say it.
133
See?
134
You're getting it.
135
Yes.
136
Okay, okay.
137
Put.
138
What about put?
139
Put is actually very simple.
140
It means to place something somewhere.
141
Put your phone on the table.
142
Put the book in your bag.
143
Put some sugar in your coffee.
144
Oh, that one feels easy.
145
It's always about placing something somewhere.
146
Pretty much.
147
The key with put is you always need to say where.
148
You don't just say, put the cup.
149
You say, put the cup on the shelf.
150
Or, put the cup in the sink.
151
The location is important.
152
Ah, I see.
153
Put it here.
154
Put it there.
155
You always need a place.
156
Exactly.
157
And here's a fun thing.
158
Put is also used in expressions, put on your shoes, put off the meeting, which means delay it.
159
Don't put it off, just do it now.
160
Wait, put off means delay.
161
That's different from just placing something.
162
Yes.
163
When verbs combine with small words like on, off, up, down, they create phrasal verbs with new meanings.
164
We'll do a whole episode on those sometime.
165
But for now, just remember, put on means where or start, and put off means delay.
166
Oh, I like learning these little extras.
167
Okay, the big one, make.
168
What does make mean?
169
So, make is about creating or causing something.
170
Make food.
171
Make a plan.
172
Make a mistake.
173
Make someone happy.
174
You're producing or causing a result.
175
Hmm, make a mistake.
176
So I'm not creating the mistake on purpose.
177
Great point!
178
No, you're not.
179
Make a mistake is just a fixed expression.
180
It means you did something wrong by accident.
181
It doesn't mean you wanted to make it.
182
Okay.
183
So make doesn't always mean you planned to create something.
184
Right.
185
Make a noise, you caused noise.
186
Make a mess, you caused a mess.
187
It's about the result, not always the intention.
188
And here's the interesting part.
189
A lot of learners confuse make and do.
190
They're both about actions, but they work differently.
191
Oh yeah, when do we use do instead of make?
192
Great question.
193
Think of it this way.
194
Do is for tasks and duties.
195
Do your homework.
196
Do the dishes. Do exercise.
197
Make is for things you create or cause.
198
Make dinner.
199
Make a decision.
200
friends.
201
So, do homework but make a plan?
202
Yes.
203
You do homework because it's a task.
204
You make a plan because you're creating something.
205
It takes practice, but that's the pattern.
206
You know, this actually reminds me.
207
I always said make exercise before, but it should be do exercise.
208
Yes, a very common mistake.
209
Don't worry, now you know.
210
And every time you catch an old mistake, that's progress.
211
Okay, I feel like I'm learning so much.
212
Are there more verbs?
213
A few more important ones, yes.
214
Let's talk about bring and send.
215
These are cousins of go and come but for objects.
216
Oh, what do you mean?
217
Okay, imagine this.
218
If I'm at home and I call you, I might say, can you bring me some water?
219
That means carry it and come to me.
220
But if I say, can you send me the file, I don't need you to come, just deliver it somehow.
221
So bring is like you carry something and come here, and send is just making something arrive without you coming.
222
Exactly.
223
Bring your friend to the party, your friend comes with you.
224
me the address, just the information needs to arrive, not you.
225
Oh, that's really clear.
226
I like that explanation.
227
And one more.
228
Keep.
229
Such a useful word.
230
Keep your voice down.
231
Keep trying.
232
Keep the change.
233
Keep in touch.
234
Hmm.
235
Keep means hold on to something or continue.
236
Both.
237
Keep the change means hold on to the money.
238
Keep trying means continue trying, don't stop.
239
And keep in touch means stay connected.
240
Keep the relationship going.
241
Oh, keep in touch.
242
I love that expression.
243
It's so warm.
244
It really is.
245
You say it to someone when you're saying goodbye, like, don't disappear from my life.
246
Let's stay connected.
247
I'm going to use that one for sure.
248
Okay, what about give?
249
I feel like that's important too.
250
Oh, yes.
251
Give is essential.
252
Give me a hand, help me.
253
Give it a try, attempt something.
254
Give someone advice, give a presentation.
255
It's about transferring, you're offering or presenting something to someone.
256
So give a hand doesn't mean give your actual hand.
257
No. Give me a hand just means help me.
258
Isn't English funny sometimes?
259
It really is.
260
But I love it.
261
Okay, so to recap, we have go,
262
come, get, take, put, make, bring, send, keep, give.
263
That's a lot of powerful verbs.
264
And you already know most of them from daily life.
265
We're just making the meaning clearer.
266
You know, Jay, I want to ask you, imagine you're going to a friend's birthday party.
267
Can you make a few sentences using the verbs we talked about?
268
Oh, um, okay.
269
I'll go to the party at 7.
270
I'll bring a gift.
271
I'll give it to my friend.
272
I'll take some photos.
273
And I'll make sure to have fun.
274
Applause!
275
Perfect!
276
That's beautiful, Jay.
277
Every single sentence was correct and natural.
278
Really?
279
I feel so good right now.
280
You should.
281
That's exactly what we want, to use these verbs without thinking too hard.
282
And listeners, you try it too.
283
Make your own sentences at home.
284
That's how it really sticks.
285
Okay, Mae.
286
I think it's time for the vocabulary moment.
287
I love this part.
288
Yes, let's do it.
289

Okay, Jay, we're coming to the end of today's episode.
336
What was your biggest takeaway?
337
Honest, Gray, that these verbs are already part of my daily life.
338
I just needed to connect the English words to the actions I already do.
339
And the magnet idea, com is pull, go is push.
340
I'll never forget that.
341
That makes me so happy to hear.
342
And I hope all of you listening feel the same way.

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.
