This is Max and Mia Podcast.
2
Hello, everyone.
3
Welcome back to the Max and Mia Podcast.
4
It's great to have you with us.
5
If you want to improve your English in a fun and different way, with real conversations and the words native speakers use every day,
6
you're in the right place.
7
Today, we'll talk about everyday situations,
8
learn common expressions, listen to how words connect in natural speech, and much more.
9
By the end of this episode, we're sure you'll have learned lots of new words and phrases,
10
improved your listening skills, and taken one more step towards speaking English better.
11
So what are you waiting for?
12
Let's get started with today's episode.
13
Okay, listener, just like in our last episode,
14
we read your comments and many of you really enjoyed the videos with real conversations from viral clips.
15
So, we decided to bring you another one.
16
But we also saw that some of you prefer our old style.
17
So, don't worry!
18
In today's episode, We'll have both types of conversations.
19
You can find the timestamps in the description, so you can easily choose which conversations you want to listen to.
20
Now, for our first conversation, we have a girl walking up to a fast food stand to order something to eat.
21
It may seem like a simple conversation about ordering food, but there's something special about it.
22
We'll hear two different accents, along with some real -life vocabulary that you might not find in your usual English lessons.
23
So, pay close attention.
24
Are you ready?
25
Let's get into our first conversation of the day.
26
okay i would suggest uh go for the noodle to make it going yeah the noodles with chicken yeah thank you
27
hi for the noodle yeah uh you want everything like spring onion crispy onion yeah any fresh chili on top yeah
28
Want a chicken?
29
Chop?
30
Into pieces, yeah.
31
Okay, just a noodle.
32
Thank you so much.
33
Thank you.
34
Well, that conversation seemed pretty simple, didn't it?
35
Yeah.
36
At first, it sounds like a very easy conversation.
37
A girl asks for a food recommendation, makes her choice, and orders her food.
38
Nothing too complicated.
39
But here's something interesting.
40
Have you ever listened to a conversation like this and thought, Wow, that's so easy.
41
I understand everything thing.
42
But then, when you're in the same situation, you suddenly can't find the words?
43
Oh, absolutely.
44
And I'm sure many of you have experienced that too.
45
You know what you want to say, but when it's time to speak, your mind goes completely blank.
46
So, here's our first question for you.
47
Have you ever frozen when speaking English, even when you knew exactly what you wanted to say.
48
Let us know in the comments.
49
And here's one important tip.
50
Stay calm.
51
Seriously, don't put too much pressure on yourself.
52
Just listen to the conversation we watched.
53
The girl wasn't using complicated sentences.
54
She was simply asking questions, listening to the answers, and taking her time.
55
Exactly.
56
You don't need to speak fast or use fancy words to have a good conversation.
57
Now, let's look at three interesting expressions from the conversation.
58
First, let's look at the expression, which is better?
59
The girl asks, which is better, moggy goring or loaded fries with chicken?
60
But why does she say which is instead of what is?
61
Aren't both words used to ask questions?
62
Good question.
63
We use which when we're choosing between specific options.
64
In this case, she's choosing between two dishes, Maggi Goreng and Loaded Fries.
65
On the other hand, we usually use WHAT when we're asking for information without choosing from a specific list.
66
For example, you can ask, what's your favorite food?
67
Because you're asking someone to tell you their preference.
68
But if you have two restaurants in front of you and want to know which one is better, you can ask, which restaurant is better?
69
So, remember, which is especially useful when you have specific options to choose from.
70
All right, let's move on to our next expression, chop into pieces.
71
When the guy asks, you want a chicken chop into pieces?
72
He's checking if the customer wants the chicken cut into smaller parts.
73
We use chop into pieces when we want to talk about cutting something into smaller pieces.
74
For example, you might say, can you chop the onions into small pieces?
75
Or I need to chop this chicken into pieces before cooking it.
76
It's a very useful expression, especially when talking about food and cooking.
77
And finally, there's another interesting detail in this conversation.
78
Did you notice when the guy said,
79
Normally in English classes, we're taught to use do when asking questions in the present simple.
80
So we might expect him to say, But in casual, everyday English,
81
native speakers sometimes leave out do in questions like this especially in quick conversations.
82
It's a more relaxed way of speaking.
83
You'll hear this kind of informal speech quite often when ordering food, talking to friends, or having everyday conversations.
84
However, remember that this isn't the standard form for every situation.
85
If you're learning English, it's still important to know how to use do you want correctly.
86
Exactly.
87
The goal isn't just to learn textbook English.
88
It's also to understand how people actually speak in real life.
89
Alright, let's move on to our second conversation.
90
This time, we're going to talk about a very common situation.
91
Dealing with a noisy neighbor.
92
Imagine it's midnight.
93
You're trying to sleep, but your upstairs neighbor keeps making noise.
94
Footsteps, loud music, things moving around.
95
It's really frustrating, isn't it?
96
So the next morning, you decide to talk to him and try to solve the problem.
97
That's exactly what we're about to hear.
98
Emily is going to talk to her neighbor, Ryan, about the noise coming from his apartment.
99
Ready?
100
Let's get into our second conversation of the day.
101
hey ryan good morning do you have a minute oh hey emily yeah sure what's up well
102
i wanted to talk to you about something i hope you don't mind
103
but the noise from your apartment has been keeping me up at night oh really i'm sorry about
104
that was it last night yeah last night actually it was around midnight i could hear music people talking
105
and what sounded like furniture being moved around Oh, wow.
106
I didn't realize it was that loud.
107
A couple of friends came over, and we ended up staying up later than we planned.
108
I figured something like that was going on.
109
I mean, I don't mind you having friends over, but the walls seem pretty thin around here.
110
Yeah, you're right about that.
111
I guess we got a little carried away.
112
We weren't really paying attention to how loud we were being.
113
I understand.
114
It happens but I have to get up pretty early for work, and it's been difficult to get a good night's sleep. Of course.
115
I totally get that.
116
Look, I'll make sure to keep the noise down, especially late at night.
117
I don't want to cause any trouble.
118
Thanks, Ryan.
119
I really appreciate it.
120
I just wanted to bring it up before it became a bigger problem.
121
No, absolutely.
122
And hey, if it ever happens again, just let me know.
123
You don't have to put up with it.
124
That's nice of you.
125
Actually, I was wondering if you could also keep the music down after 10.
126
Sometimes I can hear it even when I'm trying to sleep.
127
Yeah, no problem.
128
After 10, I'll keep the volume low.
129
We can always use headphones if we want to listen to music.
130
That would be great.
131
And don't worry, I don't want you to feel like you can't enjoy your apartment.
132
We just need to find a good balance.
133
Definitely.
134
Thanks for coming to talk to me instead of just getting angry about it.
135
Well, I'd rather talk things out.
136
We're neighbors, after all.
137
That's true.
138
Anyway.
139
I'll be more careful from now on.
140
Sorry again about last night.
141
It's all right, Ryan.
142
Thanks for understanding.
143
Have a good day.
144
You too, Emily.
145
See you around.
146
Well, that was a pretty interesting conversation, wasn't it?
147
Absolutely.
148
And notice something.
149
Emily didn't get angry or start an argument.
150
She explained the problem politely, and Ryan was happy to find a solution.
151
There were also some useful everyday expressions.
152
For example, What's up? is a casual way to ask what's happening or why someone wants to talk to you.
153
And what about, We got a little carried away?
154
That's a great expression.
155
It means you did something more than you planned, or you got too excited and didn't notice how much you were doing it.
156
Exactly.
157
Ryan also said, keep the noise down.
158
This means to make less noise or lower the volume.
159
You can use it when asking someone to be quieter.
160
And finally, Emily said, I'd rather talk things out.
161
This means she prefers to discuss problems and find a solution instead of getting angry.
162
These are the kinds of expressions you'll hear in everyday conversations, so try to remember them.
163
And before we move on, if you're enjoying this episode, don't forget to give us a like and subscribe to the channel.
164
It really helps us create more content like this.
165
All right.
166
Now, remember something we said at the beginning of today's episode.
167
We want to move away from boring grammar lessons and focus more on real conversations.
168
That's right, but that doesn't mean grammar isn't important.
169
Sometimes, learning one small grammar point can make a big difference.
170
Actually, the other day, I was playing a video game called Red Dead Redemption 2,
171
and one of the characters said something that caught my attention.
172
Oh, really?
173
What was it?
174
He said, so do you.
175
And I thought, wait a minute, this is something we should talk about on the podcast.
176
And it's actually a very useful expression.
177
We use, so do I, so do you, so does he,
178
and similar structures to say that someone shares the same situation or feeling as another person.
179
For example, if someone says, I love video games, you can reply, so do I.
180
It means you love them too.
181
And if someone says, I work on weekends, you can say, so do you,
182
meaning that the other person also works on weekends.
183
The important thing is to choose the correct auxiliary verb, depending on the first sentence.
184
You'll hear more examples in our next conversation.
185
So, for our final conversation today, we'll listen to a natural exchange between Susan and Gabriel.
186
Pay close attention to their sentences and see if you can recognize when they use this structure.
187
Ready?
188
Let's listen to our final conversation of the day.
189
Hey, Gabriel.
190
How's your week going?
191
Pretty good, actually.
192
I've been really busy with work, though.
193
I barely have any free time these days.
194
Oh, I know what you mean.
195
I've been working a lot lately, too.
196
Sometimes I feel like I spend more time at the office than at home.
197
Same here.
198
And the worst part is that I still have a lot of things to do when I get home.
199
So do I.
200
I usually cook dinner, clean up a little, and then try to relax.
201
But by that time, I'm already exhausted.
202
Tell me about it.
203
I used to go to the gym after work, but I haven't been there in weeks.
204
Really?
205
I used to work out almost every morning, but I stopped when I got my new job.
206
So did I.
207
I actually enjoyed getting up early and exercising before work.
208
I should probably get back to it.
209
You definitely should.
210
I feel so much better when I exercise regularly.
211
So do I.
212
It gives me more energy throughout the day.
213
By the way, have you started watching that new series everyone's talking about?
214
Not yet.
215
I've heard it's really good, though.
216
It is.
217
I watched three episodes last night.
218
I couldn't stop. That sounds like me.
219
I sometimes watch an entire season in just a few days.
220
So do I.
221
And then I regret staying up so late the next morning.
222
Exactly.
223
Anyway, we should probably get going.
224
I still have a few things to finish before lunch.
225
Same here.
226
Well, it was nice catching up with you.
227
You too.
228
Let's grab a coffee sometime this week.
229
Sounds good.
230
See you around.
231
See you, Susan.
232
Have a good one.
233
Well, that was a really interesting conversation.
234
And did you notice how often Susan and Gabriel agreed with each other?
235
Yes.
236
They used the expression we've been talking about.
237
So do I.
238
So did I.
239
And even so am I.
240
These are small expressions, but they can make your conversation sound much more natural.
241
Let's quickly review how they work.
242
We use so plus auxiliary verb plus subject when we want to say that we share the same experience,
243
feeling, or situation as someone else.
244
For example, if someone says, I love coffee, you can simply answer, so do I.
245
It means you love coffee, too.
246
But remember, the auxiliary verb depends on the tense.
247
If someone says, I went to the gym yesterday, you can reply, so did I.
248
And if they say, I'm really tired, you can answer, so am I.
249
Exactly.
250
Here's another interesting detail.
251
You can use this structure with different subjects, too.
252
For example, she likes music.
253
So does he.
254
Or, they work from home.
255
So do we.
256
The important thing is to keep the same auxiliary verb or tense as the original sentence.
257
And don't forget the word order.
258
The auxiliary comes before the subject.
259
So, instead of repeating a whole sentence, you can use just a few words to show that you feel the same way.
260
Pretty useful, right?
261
Absolutely.
262
And now that you've seen it in a real conversation, try to notice this structure whenever you're watching a movie,
263
playing a video game, or listening to native speakers.
264
Here's a little challenge for you.
265
Imagine someone tells you, I really enjoy learning English.
266
How would you respond using what we've just learned?
267
That's right.
268
You can say, so do I.
269
Try leaving your answer in the comments.
270
We'd love to see how many of you get it right.
271
And that's a wrap for our grammar section.
272
We hope this little lesson helped you understand the expression and, more importantly, how to use it in real conversations.
273
Now, let's take a moment to look back at everything we covered today.
274
We listened to three different conversations each with its own situation and useful expressions.
275
First, we heard a girl ordering food at a fast food stand.
276
We learned how to ask for recommendations, how to use which is better,
277
and even picked up some informal expressions that people use when ordering food.
278
Then we listened to Emily talking to her neighbor Ryan about the noise coming from his apartment.
279
We learned some useful expressions for making polite requests, explaining problems, and finding solutions without being rude.
280
And finally, we listened to Susan and Gabriel sharing their everyday experiences.
281
That's where we learned how to use
282
So Do I and similar expressions to agree with someone and show that we have something in common.
283
As always, remember that learning English isn't just about memorizing words or studying grammar rules.
284
It's about understanding people, listening to how they speak, and using what you learn in your own conversations.
285
So, don't just watch this episode and move on.
286
If you have some extra time, go back to your favorite conversation, listen to it again, and try repeating some of the sentences.
287
This is a great way to improve your pronunciation and get more comfortable with natural English.
288
And if you've made it this far, thank you so much for spending your time with us.
289
We really appreciate having you here.
290

That's all for today, everyone.
295
Keep practicing, stay curious, and remember that every little step counts.

297
Take care, everyone.

- /r/ anglais — langue recourbée, sans frotter la gorge: everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, auxiliary /ɔɡˈzɪl.(jə).ɹi/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/

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.
