Hello, everyone, and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
My name is Catherine, and today we're talking about someone who's very, very dirty.
4
That's right.
5
And actually, not only are we talking about something being dirty, but also that we want to clean everything.
6
Okay, so you'll learn how to call someone who likes clean things in English today.
7
Let's take a listen to our dialogue.
8
ugh this bathroom is a pigsty helen why do you keep
9
slushing the toilet what's wrong i just can't stand it it's
10
really gross in here there's a stain on the toilet seat
11
and the floor was wet and slippery
12
so i cleaned it you did what helen i know it's gross
13
but i've seen many public washrooms
14
that are much worse why are you cleaning the countertop are you out of your mind i can't help myself.
15
It's just so disgusting in here.
16
Helen, this is not like your own bathroom.
17
Just leave it to the cleaners, okay?
18
Hang on.
19
I'm just going to quickly wipe the sink and sweep the floor.
20
You're such a neat freak.
21
I'm out of here.
22
All right, we're back.
23
So this girl was very much of a neat freak, and we're going to take a look at that word a little bit later on.
24
Why don't we go back to the very beginning and take a look at some vocab on Language Takeaway.
25
Language Takeaway.
26
The first word we have here on Language Takeaway today is pigsty.
27
Right, this bathroom is a pigsty.
28
Okay, so a pigsty is a place where pigs live.
29
Okay, so now this obviously, the bathroom is not really a place where pigs live.
30
So if you call something a pigsty, you're saying that it's very...
31
Dirty.
32
You're saying it's disgusting.
33
It's very, very dirty, like a pigsty.
34
So actually, if you go to a farm and you see where all the pigs are, that is actually called a pigsty.
35
Right.
36
There's mud and dirt.
37
Yeah, that's a pigsty.
38
So someone who is very, very dirty, you can also call a pig.
39
Okay.
40
Now, she was saying that the bathroom is so dirty and it's really gross in here.
41
Okay, so gross means something is, she doesn't like it.
42
It's really dirty and, you know, makes her uncomfortable.
43
So something that doesn't taste good, you can say it's gross.
44
That's right.
45
So I don't like to eat snake.
46
I think eating snake is gross.
47
Okay, very good.
48
So something that is gross is something that's not really nice.
49
Maybe it tastes bad or it smells bad, something that is bad in general.
50
That's right.
51
Okay.
52
Okay.
53
So she went on to talk about the toilet seat and that there was a stain on the toilet seat.
54
Okay.
55
A stain is usually a bad thing.
56
It means that there's a color or a mark that's permanent or maybe can be washed away on something.
57
So in this case, the toilet seat has a mark on it.
58
Okay.
59
Maybe it's brown or yellow.
60
But I can also say I was drinking wine and I spilled the wine on my shirt and it left a stain.
61
So now there's always this red part on my shirt.
62
It won't go away.
63
Okay, so a stain is a mark that usually won't go away.
64
Okay, so then she went on to describe the bathroom as being disgusting.
65
So I guess this is very similar to gross.
66
That's right.
67
Something that is gross is usually also disgusting.
68
I can say, ugh, this food is awful.
69
It's just disgusting.
70
Okay.
71
But I can also say, in this case, oh, your room is disgusting.
72
You need to clean it.
73
It's so dirty or bad or unappealing.
74
So something that is gross, something that is disgusting is something negative.
75
Yes.
76
Okay.
77
And then we have our keyword and the title of this lesson for today, a neat freak.
78
Her friend says, you're such a neat freak.
79
That's right.
80
So a neat freak is someone who likes things to be very clean.
81
Okay.
82
Okay.
83
And so a neat freak does not live in a pigsty, right?
84
A neat freak does not like to be in pigsties.
85
A neat freak likes things to be in order and organized and clean.
86
So maybe somebody that's cleaning all the time or that's very, very organized.
87
You can say that that person is a neat freak.
88
He is a neat freak or she is a neat freak.
89
Now it's not necessarily a good thing to be a neat freak, but it's not terrible either to call somebody a neat freak.
90
You can say, hey, are you a neat freak?
91
Right.
92
That means, are you really concerned about cleanliness?
93
Uh -huh.
94
Okay.
95
Very good.
96
So a lot of great vocab.
97
Why don't we take a look again at our dialogue, and we'll be back in a bit.
98
Ugh, this bathroom is a pigsty.
99
Helen, why do you keep flushing the toilet?
100
What's wrong?
101
I just can't stand it.
102
It's really gross in here.
103
There's a stain on the toilet seat and the floor was wet and slippery, so I cleaned it.
104
you did what helen i know it's gross but i've seen many public washrooms that are much worse
105
why are you cleaning the countertop are you out of your mind i can't help myself it's just
106
so disgusting in here helen this is not like your own
107
bathroom just leave it to the cleaners okay hang on i'm just gonna quickly wipe the sink
108
and sweep the floor you're such a neat freak i'm out All right, we're back.
109
So now let's take a look at Fluency Builder.
110
Fluency Builder.
111
So the first thing we want to talk about today is this phrase, I can't stand it.
112
So this is our neat freak talking.
113
She says, I just can't stand it.
114
I just can't stand it.
115
So, if you can't stand something, that means that you can't tolerate it.
116
That's right.
117
It means, I don't like it.
118
I don't want it anymore.
119
I need to change it.
120
Okay.
121
So, for example, if a bar is too loud, you say, I have to leave.
122
I can't stand it.
123
It's too loud in there.
124
That's right.
125
Or if you are next to me all day and you do tap, tap, tap, tap, tap with your pen, I say, Marco, stop it.
126
I can't stand it anymore.
127
Okay.
128
Very good.
129
Good.
130
And then she went on to explain or to justify why she was cleaning the public restroom.
131
And she said, I can't help myself.
132
It's just too disgusting in here.
133
I can't help myself.
134
So this means that I cannot control my actions.
135
I cannot control what I do.
136
And so in some cases, like with a neat freak, the person really needs everything to be clean.
137
And so she says, I can't help myself.
138
I have to Okay.
139
So it's a phrase like this.
140
Don't try to separate it.
141
Don't try to separate it and try to define what help and help yourself.
142
It's more of a phrase saying, I can't control myself.
143
I can't control my actions.
144
I can't help myself.
145
Or in the case of another person, you say, she can't help herself.
146
He can't help himself.
147
Right.
148
So maybe you'd like to smoke and you're smoking all the time and you say, stop smoking.
149
You say, I can't help myself.
150
I have to smoke.
151
Okay.
152
And for our last phrase, she said, hang on, I'm just going to quickly wipe the sink and sweep the floor.
153
Hang on.
154
This means wait, wait, wait a moment.
155
Yeah.
156
Yeah.
157
So this is a really common phrase we hear in English.
158
It's something that you'll hear all the time in a pretty relaxed environment, not maybe in school, but if someone says, you know, okay, I'm going to go see you later.
159
And the other person wants to say something to you, say, hang on, hang on, Wait a moment, I have to tell you this thing.
160
So you wouldn't really use it with your boss or a customer.
161
You wouldn't say, hang on a second.
162
No, you would say that with a friend or family member, things like that.
163
Okay, so it's a very informal way of saying, wait a moment, wait a minute.
164
That's right.
165
So the formal way is, please wait.
166
Please wait.
167
And the informal way is, hang on.
168
Hang on.
169
Or hang on a sec, which is hang on a second.
170
All right, that's all the words we have for today why don't we
171
review our dialogue one last time this bathroom is a pigsty
172
helen why do you keep slushing the toilet what's wrong i
173
just can't stand it it's really gross in here there's a stain on the toilet seat
174
and the floor was wet and slippery
175
so i cleaned it you did what helen i know it's gross
176
but i've seen many public washrooms that are much worse Why are you cleaning the countertop?
177
Are you out of your mind?
178
I can't help myself.
179
It's just so disgusting in here.
180
Helen, this is not like your own bathroom.
181
Just leave it to the cleaners, okay?
182
Hang on.
183
I'm just going to quickly wipe the sink and sweep the floor.
184
You're such a neat freak.
185
I'm out of here.
186
All right, so talking about cleanliness and being a neat...
187
What type of person are you?
188
Do you usually, are you a neat freak?
189
Do you keep everything very clean and ordered?
190
I'm not a neat freak, but I'm also not a pig, not a slob.
191
I like things to be very organized, but I'm not really concerned about cleaning so much.
192
I'm too lazy.
193
So there's a difference for me.
194
In my house, I know where everything is, but maybe there's clothes on the floor and there's books in the bathroom and yeah.
195
So I'm in the middle.
196
What about you?
197
Are you a neat freak?
198
No, I'm not really a neat freak per se, but I do like everything to be very clean on the other hand.
199
So I can't really stand it when things are, if things are out of order a little bit, that's okay.
200
But if things are dirty, that really gets to me.
201
But I'm not the type of person that has, you know, folders with all my bills in one folder or labels, or even when I was in school, I didn't have my notebooks in order.
202
Really?
203
So we're the opposite.
204
Yeah, exactly.
205
But I hate things that are dirty.
206
Interesting.
207
Well, let us know, are you a neat freak?
208

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.
