1
Hey.
2
Didn't I tell you to get some better suits?
3
I spent $500.
4
How many suits?
5
Five.
6
What?
7
In today's lesson you're gonna learn some nice expressions, vocabulary, pronunciation and legal English with the TV series Suits.
8
In the scenes we're watching today, Harvey tries to fire Mike on his first day at work.
9
after he was denied a promotion.
10
But then Mike gives him an idea.
11

12
We're now getting lost.

15
Mike Ross is an extremely clever young man who lands a
16
job as a lawyer even though he's never been to law school.
17
Harvey Specter, a top lawyer at the firm, is so impressed with Mike's intelligence that he gives him the job.
18
How can you know all that?
19
I told you, I like to read.
20
and once I read something, I understand it, and once I understand it, I never forget it.
21
However, after losing his promotion for having lied to a client, Harvey tries to fire Mike on his first day of work.
22
Let's see what happens Mike.
23
Hey!
24
Who's ready for a great first day?
25
I'm gonna have to let you go.
26
What?
27
I just got reamed for lying to a client, and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
28
You what?
29
Not now, Donna.
30
I have to put my own interests above yours.
31
It's nothing personal.
32
You're fired.
33
Wait, so you're...
34
worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.
35
But if you fire me, then I could Tell them that you lied about me, and you definitely lose your license.
36
Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?
37
You put your interests above mine, and I'm just putting mine back up.
38
Next to yours.
39
You're rehired.
40
Who's ready for a great first day?
41
I'm gonna have to let you go.
42
So in this context to let someone go means to fire someone.
43
Another nice word in this context of business and work is downsizing.
44
Downsizing is when a company has to fire people,
45
or let people go because the company is cutting down on costs or reducing in size.
46
Check out this clip from The Office.
47
As you know, there's going to be downsizing.
48
And you have made my life so much easier in that I am going to have to let you go first.
49
What?
50
Why?
51
What?
52
I just got reamed for lying to a client.
53
When a person gets reamed, this person is reprimanded or criticized for their bad behavior.
54
And that's exactly what Jessica, Harvest Boss, does to him earlier in this episode.
55
Other possible words here could be: scold, You know, to scold someone or to lecture someone.
56
In this case, you behave badly, you do something bad, and then somebody gives you a lecture or somebody scolds you.
57
Check out these examples.
58
You're scolding me. Am I?
59
You are silent, eh?
60
What about her?
61
Emily.
62
You can't even say your name, can you?
63
Don't lecture me.
64
And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
65
When you find out about something, you discover or learn the truth about it.
66
For example, she divorced him because she found out he had been going out with another woman.
67
And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
68
"Going to Harvard." Did you hear how Harvey pronounces this phrase?
69
The preposition to is reduced to a "n", Na.
70
So he says, "Goina." going to Harvard.
71
going to Harvard.
72
that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
73
that I lied about you going to Harvard.
74
Let's do it.
75
- Thank you.
76
And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
77
Here we can see the first conditional being used.
78
We can use the first conditional when making a prediction about the future or making a threat.
79
Now the structure goes if + simple present Plus, will.
80
For example, If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll go to the beach.
81
That's a prediction.
82
If you do that one more time, you won't play video games for a month.
83
That's a threat.
84
You can also use might or could instead of will.
85
Check it out.
86
Wait, so you're-- worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.
87
In this case, "might" means 50 % possibility.
88
they might find out Maybe they will find out.
89
There is a 50 /50 chance.
90
But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me, and you'd definitely lose your license.
91
Now, could here gives this idea of imaginary possibility.
92
"Look, if you fire me, then I could tell them." that you lied about me.
93
You see?
94
That's a possibility that I'm imagining right now.
95
Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus you're gonna drag me with you?
96
Also remember that you can use "going to" instead of "will" just like in this case.
97
You're going to drag me with you.
98
Check out these examples where the first conditional is being used.
99
But if you don't love this, then we'll do it any other place, any other time, really.
100
Ross, you know what?
101
If you tell me, I might do it.
102
"If you don't do it, I will." You know, just learning random words,
103
like many people do, without studying the proper context in which those words are being used, is not a good strategy.
104
I mean, Think about it: why do you learn English or any other language?
105
to communicate Right? and communication happens through sentences phrases, not individual isolated words.
106
That's exactly why we created the Fluent with Friends course, so that you can include the vocabulary in English in context.
107
I wish I had something like this back in the day, when I was still at an intermediate level.
108
I would watch a lot of TV series to practice my English.
109
but I had to learn English pretty much by myself.
110
If I had something like the Fluent with Friends course back then, my English would have improved much faster.
111
Our course guides you through every episode of the first two seasons of Friends.
112
contextualizing and teaching you the most important vocabulary,
113
pronunciation, grammar, and cultural aspects you need to know in order to take your English to the next level.
114
Even academic studies say that Friends is the best TV series out there to learn English with.
115
So don't wait any longer to start developing your English fluency and having a ton of fun.

119
Alright?
120
Now let's get back to the lesson on suits.
121
Wait, so you're...
122
Worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.
123
Check it out!
124
lied about me.
125
So here we have the D for lied that connects with the A for about.
126
So we hear lighter.
127
Lá, rá, with a flap sound.
128
lighter And then we say lie it about.
129
The T for about is a stop T. about.
130
about So, lied about me.
131
that you lied about me, that you lied about me.
132
you Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?
133
Now this is a nice expression.
134
to throw someone under the bus.
135
When you throw someone under the bus, you cause this person to suffer, in order to save yourself or gain some sort of personal advantage.
136
And that's exactly what Harvey is doing to Mike here in the scene.
137
By firing Mike, Harvey is throwing Mike under the bus.
138
Here's another example from Suits.
139
Which image shows a person being dragged?
140
you Oh Now the word "drag" is an interesting word.
141
Imagine you have a very heavy bag.
142
but it's so heavy that you can't pick it up.
143
You can't carry it.
144
So what do you usually do?
145
You have to drag it, right?
146
You drag the bag by moving it across the floor, because you can't pick it up.
147
That's the meaning of drag.
148
But the verb drag in this context has more of a figurative meaning.
149
Harvey is saying If I throw you under the bus, you're going to drag me with you?
150
In other words, if I fire you and make you lose your job, you're going to make me lose my job as well?
151
You're gonna hire me as well?
152
That's what he's asking.
153
You put your interests above mine and I'm just putting mine back up.
154
Thanks to yours.
155
We have a nice connected speech pattern here.
156
When you see the situation of T + Y, the sound that we make is usually "ch".
157
Check.
158
So here we hear Put your Put your...
159
You put your interests above mine.
160
You put your interests of mine.
161
you You rehired.
162
When you are rehired, you are hired again.
163
The simple fact that you are using the prefix re means again or repeat.
164
For example, "re -do." You see?
165
To do again.
166
Replay.
167
"to play again." Re -hire to hire Again.
168
Got it?
169
What you just saw could be called blackmail.
170
Blackmail is the act of demanding benefits in return for not revealing damaging information, about someone.
171
Mike blackmails Harvey into not firing him.
172
But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me and you'd definitely lose your license.
173
Now Harvey does the same with his boss Jessica.
174
Let's watch it.
175
Here's what's going to happen.
176
You're going to give me back my promotion, and that's the last we're going to talk about this.
177
And why is that?
178
Because if you don't, I'm gonna go across town and join Rick Peterson.
179
I'm going to approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm going to take them with me.
180
You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.
181
I don't think you will.
182
And why not?
183
Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but you didn't.
184
You put me in front of the board right now, I'll put you right up there with me.
185
Mm -hmm.
186
- I'll I'll give you your promotion.
187
But you have to do something for me.
188
Anything.
189
Ah.
190
Pro bono.
191
Anything but that.
192
Harvey, pro bono cases are how we as a firm show that we care about more than just ourselves.
193
I'm not saying we shouldn't do them.
194
I'm saying I shouldn't do that.
195
And it's how you can show me that you care about more than justice.
196
Yourself.
197
You'll handle this yourself.
198
You will not pass it off.
199
Absolutely.
200
Here's what's gonna happen.
201
This is a great phrase to preface what you are about to say.
202
To preface is a verb.
203
It means to introduce or begin a speech by doing something.
204
This phrase here's what's gonna happen is a nice way to
205
prepare the other person for what you are about to say and Check out this example.
206
Here's what's going to happen.
207
The police will arrest you and I'm sorry but I will be pressing charges.
208
You're gonna give me back my promotion.
209
In speech, the words you and your are also often reduced.
210
You is reduced to "ya" while "your" is reduced to "yer".
211
That's the sound we hear here.
212
You're gonna you're gonna.
213
You're gonna give me back my promotion.
214
You're gonna give me back my promotion.
215
you - I'm gonna approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm gonna take them with me.
216
You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.
217
Another common reduction here: in front of.
218
What happens here is the T for front is dropped, and then we just pronounce the in,
219
which then connects with the preposition of, which sounds like a schwa sound.
220
Uh. So, Frauna.
221
You do that and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.
222
Put you in front of the ethics board.
223
You do that and you'll force me to put you in front of the Ethics Board.
224
The Ethics Board, also known as the Ethics Committee, is responsible for ensuring professional conduct and ethical behavior among lawyers.
225
It issues formal opinions on what is considered ethical, when practicing law.
226
Also, they have the power to take on lawyer's license.
227
- I don't think you will.
228
- And why not?
229
Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but she didn't.
230
When you are obligated to do something, You must do it.
231
You could do it.
232
You might do it.
233
you When you are obligated to do something, you must do it.
234
Alright?
235
It's mandatory.
236
You are obliged.
237
But there is also a nice expression with this word obliged, which is Much obliged.
238
If you say: much obliged, this is a way of saying thank you, but it's really formal.
239
Check out this example from Sherlock Holmes.
240
I'm sure I can find my own way if you have other beauties to perform.
241
Much obliged, sir.
242
Thank you, sir.
243
I don't think you will.
244
And why not?
245
Because you were obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but you didn't.
246
When you notify someone, you inform that person of something.
247
And this word is usually used in a more formal, let's say official, way.
248
Check out this example from the Big Bang Theory.
249
Here we have the T +Y combination again.
250
Remember, this combination sounds like "ch".
251
-Chu!
252
Puccio.
253
And then we have right up there.
254
The T for right has this flap T sound, this rarara, which connects with up.
255
Right up.
256
So putting it all together, put you right up there.
257
Put you right up there with me.
258
Put you right up there with me.
259
you Allah I'll give you your promotion.
260
But you have to do something for me.
261
The preposition 4 is also often reduced in speech.
262
It gets reduced to a fur.
263
Fur.
264
So here we hear from me, But you have to do something for me.
265
But you have to do something for me.
266
Thank you.
267
you you Anything.
268
Um.
269
- Pro bono.
270
- Anything but that.
271
In this context of law, pro bono refers to legal representation for low -income clients.
272
In other words, no charge.
273
It's when a lawyer represents a client who doesn't have enough money
274
or can't afford to pay for that lawyer's time and service.
275
So the lawyer represents that client, for free that's a pro bono case.
276
Check out this example from Better Call Saul.
277
Why would you risk the best job you've ever had for some pro bono case?
278
I was doing a favor for a friend.
279
Anything.
280
Um.
281
anything but that the phrase anything but that could be the same as anything except that.
282
This is a nice way of using the word "but".
283
In this context, again, but means except.
284
For example, They watched all the sequels, but the last one.
285
In other words, they watched all the sequels except the last one.
286
And it's how you can show me that you care about more than just yourself.
287
You'll handle this yourself.
288
You will not pass it off.
289
Absolutely.
290
In this context, when Jessica says to Harvey, "You will not pass it off," she's telling him
291
that he won't give these pro bono cases to someone else he will have to do them himself Mike.
292
Hey!
293
Who's ready for a great first day?
294
I'm gonna have to let you go.
295
The phrase "to let you go" in this context means: to abandon you, to allow you to leave, to fire you.
296
Oh .
297
What?
298
I just got reamed for lying to a client, and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
299
Which sentence is not in the first conditional?
300
If they go there, They're going to have a lot of fun.
301
If they went there, they would go sightseeing.
302
If they don't travel next year, they'll go to the country club.
303
I You what?
304
Not now, Donna.
305
I have to put my own interests above yours.
306
It's nothing personal.
307
You're fired.
308
Wait, so you're-- worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.
309
But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me, and you definitely lose your license.
310
Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?
311
You put your interests in above mine, and I'm just putting mine back up Next to yours.
312
You're rehired.
313
Here's what's gonna happen.
314
You're gonna give me back my promotion, and that's the last we're gonna talk about this.
315
And why is that?
316
Because if you don't, I'm gonna go across town and join Rick Peterson.
317
I'm gonna approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm gonna take them with me.
318
You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.
319
I don't think you will.
320
And why not?
321
Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but she didn't.
322
You put me in front of the board right now, I'll put you right up there with me.
323
Hmm.
324
- I'll...
325
I'll give you your promotion.
326
But you have to do something for me.
327
Anything.
328
Ah.
329
- Pro bono.
330
- Anything but that.
331
In legal context, a pro bono case is complex and hard to handle, long and takes many years to close?
332
free of charge.
333
Harvey, pro bono cases are how we as a firm show that we care about more than just ourselves.
334
I'm not saying we shouldn't do them.
335
I'm saying I shouldn't do that.
336
And it's how you can show me that you care about more than justice yourself.
337
You'll handle this yourself.
338
You will not pass it off.
339
Absolutely.
340
Alright, so now it's time for the comment of the day.
341
And we have a comment here from Alpha.
342
This was on the Learn English with Rock music lesson.
343
And Alpha says: I've been following your channel for about three years, and this lesson is definitely my favorite so far.
344
Of course I love rock music, especially from the 70s and the 80s.
345
I guess Thiago had a blast.
346
making this lesson, am I right?
347
Yes, you are absolutely right, I had such a blast.
348
A lot of fun making that lesson.
349
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
350
And we also have here a nice comment about for the lesson "Testure English with Zootopia" that we released recently.
351
This is from Thiago, and Thiago says "Oh, what a terrific lesson !" as opposed to "terrible".
352
I used to confuse So many new words.
353
I study English because I have an urge to learn new things and I think that Tiago, not me, the host, is a very articulate teacher.
354
Thank you.
355
Tiago, thank you so much for the wonderful comment and great job because I can see here that you are using
356

המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|

הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-144 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו gonna, you're, I'm. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “th”: ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, ethical /ˈɛθɪkəl/
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, prediction /pɹɪˈdɪkʃən/
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: blackmail /ˈblækˌmeɪl/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, flap /flæp/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, abandon /əˈbæn.dən/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: ream /ɹiːm/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, preface /ˈpɹɛfəs/
- עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: oblige /əˈblaɪd͡ʒ/, scold /ˈskəʊ̯ld/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, downsize /ˈdaʊnsaɪz/, verb /vɝb/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
