1
Hey guys, welcome to Lingo Marina.
2
Today we're gonna work on improving your speaking skills.
3
To do this, I've created several examples of small talk and your task is to watch,
4
listen, and repeat phrases.
5
This is one of the best ways to improve your accent and also learn new phrases.
6
And by the way, small talk is something very essential that happens in the English speaking culture.
7
We start most of our conversations with small talk,
8
Talking about the weather, talking about recent events,
9
discussing news, and learning how to engage in small talk can be essential
10
if you're planning to do business or live in an English-speaking country.
11
Let's start with small talk number one,
12
and let's talk about the weather.
13
Ooh, it looks like there is a storm brewing.
14
This is an idiomatic expression,
15
which means there is going to be a storm.
16
A storm is brewing.
17
I'm afraid so.
18
The sky is overcast.
19
The sky is completely covered with clouds and there is not much light.
20
Gosh, I am so tired of this.
21
We've been having rainy weather for more than a week now.
22
Actually, I like when it's drizzling.
23
Drizzling means raining lightly or that time right after it's stopped raining.
24
The air is so fresh, the streets are empty.
25
Perfect.
26
Ah, no. I can't relate.
27
I hate it when it's freezing or even chilly.
28
Chilly means uncomfortably cool or cold.
29
Fair enough.
30
So you prefer hot weather to cold?
31
We say fair enough when we agree to something that's acceptable.
32
It's okay to not like cold weather.
33
Fair enough?
34
Absolutely.
35
Then you should definitely move south, away from the city.
36
I'd love to, and maybe I will end up living by the beach someday,
37
but not today unfortunately.
38
Well, spring is coming so you won't have to endure bad weather for much longer.
39
Endure means to suffer from something patiently.
40
Fingers crossed.
41
Means I'm hoping that it's gonna be warm soon.
42
Hey Mia, long time no see.
43
I love this expression.
44
Long time no see means I haven't seen you for a while.
45
Hi, how have you been?
46
Amazing, I've just come back from my vacation.
47
Really, where'd you go?
48
I've always wanted to go to Florida,
49
so we booked our flights and went for three weeks.
50
That is so cool.
51
I need more details.
52
Did you like it?
53
Yeah, we had enough time to go to the ocean.
54
I had some photo shoots from my Instagram, loved it.
55
The vibe.
56
I love saying Florida vibes, New York vibes.
57
The vibe means the atmosphere that you can feel when you're coming to this place.
58
The food, people, everything was amazing.
59
Florida is definitely a must-see state.
60
A must-see means everybody has to visit.
61
You know what?
62
I've never thought about going there,
63
but maybe I should give it a try.
64
You should definitely consider visiting it.
65
I'm already counting down the days,
66
waiting, till our next trip to Florida in October.
67
Okay, enough about me.
68
How's everything?
69
Do you have any vacation plans?
70
Now the next conversation is going to be a bit more informal.
71
You're going to encounter a bit more slang and cool words that a lot of teenagers use,
72
a lot of people on TikTok use.
73
So it's really important to know them these days.
74
Damn girl, you went to Coachella this year?
75
Damn girl's like, wow.
76
Coachella is this big music festival in Palm Springs
77
that a lot of people go to and dress up and enjoy the music.
78
Oh yeah, you went too, right?
79
No, I couldn't make it, unfortunately.
80
How was it?
81
Amazing, so fun.
82
Was it your first time there?
83
No, it was my third time.
84
I love music, what can I say?
85
You use the phrase, what can I say,
86
when there is nothing to add.
87
You know, I love music and this is all you need to justify going to Coachella every single year.
88
Me too, concerts are my favorite.
89
Which performance did you like the best?
90
Now I use which to ask this question because we're talking about Coachella
91
and we have a set of performances that took place there and I'm asking which of those performances you like the best.
92
Hard to say.
93
I guess Harry Styles.
94
I've never paid attention to him but this concert hit differently.
95
So you experience something that conveys a different emotion than before.
96
It was a vibe.
97
Means there was energy that everyone was feeling.
98
If you like the event,
99
you can say it was a vibe.
100
I heard it was an absolute blast.
101
To be a blast means to be a very enjoyable experience.
102
This party was a blast.
103
Coachella was a blast.
104
Beyond doubt.
105
Another great expression to know.
106
Have you ever been to any music festivals?
107
The next one is going to be about baseball.
108
The thing is, the thing is everyone loves to chat about baseball I'm not a baseball fan
109
but it just makes sense to learn a little bit about baseball
110
because everybody's gonna be asking you are you watching the game tonight are you going to see
111
that game
112
so people ask me all the time I really need to develop a habit of following baseball events
113
but I'm not there yet but let's learn some vocabulary and some phrases related to baseball.
114
Nice jersey.
115
Jersey is something you wear as a baseball player
116
but apparently fans are also buying jerseys with their favorite team's logos so they can show what team they're supporting.
117
Okay guys because I'm not a baseball fan I don't have a jersey,
118
any jerseys, so I'm just gonna show you what it looks like
119
And imagine I'm wearing it for the purpose of this dialogue.
120
Oh, thanks.
121
Are you into baseball as well?
122
Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.
123
Not true in real life.
124
I'm just making this up for the purpose of this video.
125
What team do you root for?
126
To root for a team means to support a team.
127
Go Dodgers.
128
This is how you support your team.
129
Go Dodgers.
130
Go Linguam Arena.
131
Go English language learners.
132
Yay.
133
Yeah.
134
Are you going to see their game next week?
135
I'm not sure yet.
136
But I'd love to, I haven't bought a ticket yet, so who knows?
137
Who knows is a great expression.
138
Who knows?
139
Oh, one of my friends canceled.
140
And I have an extra ticket.
141
Do you want to join me?
142
That'd be amazing.
143
Thank you.
144
I'm Marina, by the way.
145

146

147
So what do you think?
148
Who's the greatest dodger of all time?
149

151

153

160

161
I'm one of the speakers this time,
162

On edge means nervous.
164

165
That's great.
166
What's the topic?
167
Predefining education in 2022.
168

169
No way is a phrase that you use when you're super excited about something.
170
No way!
171
This is one of the sessions I'm most excited about.
172
And I really wanted to discuss some critical issues with the speaker.
173
Well, I'm sure we'll find some time to discuss it.
174
Now for the next dialogue,
175
let's focus more on compliments.

189
Definitely.
190
They have a whole bunch of jackets, different colors, designs.
191
You'll find something.
192
My stylist recommended this jacket and the quality is the best.
193
I am dying to see their collections.
194
So you work with a personal stylist?
195
Yes, and I love it.
196
No more problems with shopping.
197
Exactly.
198
I once purchased this expensive purse in Paris,
199
but it is so stylish,
200
so it's really hard for me to wear it with my ordinary outfits.
201
It's actually a great idea to have a personal stylist.
202
That's what stylists are for.
203
They help us look our best without spending too much time on it.
204
Definitely.
205

Second, we have a course that is called Speak Like an American where we dig deeper into how Americans actually speak,
209
what they do with their mouth,
210

211
and I think that learning how to speak like an American from people who actually went through that challenge.
212
I had my Russian accent,
213
Vena, who's the teacher, had his Russian accent.
214
We were born and raised in Russia.

I lived there for 25 years.
216
He lived there for 20 years,
217
and it took us a while to master American accent,
218
but because we did it,
219
it just proves that it is possible to do it.
220
It is possible to get rid of your accent and start sounding more like an American.

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.
