1
Mike Ross?
2
Hi.
3
I'm Rachel Zane.
4
I'll be giving you your orientation.
5
Wow, you're pretty.
6
Good.
7
You hit on me.
8
We can get it out of the way that I am not interested.
9
No, I'm sorry.
10
I wasn't hitting on you.
11
Trust me.
12
I've given dozens of these,
13
and without fail, whatever new hotshot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal,
14
that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
15
Let me assure you, I won't.
16
Oh, yeah.
17
Do you remember your first day at work?
18
Imagine going through that, but in English.
19
Well, this is exactly what's happening here.
20
In Suits, we get to see a nice blend of legal and office English.
21
There's a ton of vocabulary for the workplace,
22
which makes it a powerful series for English learners.
23
And I myself, I'm a huge fan.
24
So in the scene that we'll watch today,
25
Mike Ross has just been hired at this law firm,
26
and Rachel, who's a paralegal,
27
that is, she's a lawyer's assistant,
28
is giving him an orientation.
29
And by the way, do you see these words highlighted in blue?
30
These are the advanced English expressions that we'll be learning today,
31
and you should know that we're saving all of them in a special deck of flashcards
32
that we created with this lesson with Suits on our own app.
33
If you want to remember these words forever and actually be able to use them in your own English conversations,
34
I'm telling you, this is the best way to do that.
35
Just click the link below to access this lesson from inside our app,
36
and you can even watch it from there too.
37
Now let's get into the first part of the lesson.
38
I'm Rachel Zane, I'll be giving you your orientation.
39
When you start at a new job,
40
most often you're given an orientation,
41
a professional introduction to the office.
42
Rachel is saying that she will be the one explaining to Mike how things work at the law firm,
43
what he needs to do, and some important rules.
44
Wow, you're pretty.
45
Good, you hit on me.
46
To hit on someone is to flirt with them,
47
to show that you're romantically interested in them.
48
It's an informal phrase of verb.
49
Check out this audio example.
50
Are you hitting on me?
51
Yes, yes, I'm hitting on you.
52
You're hot and cool and nice and you have beautiful eyes.
53
So Rachel stops it right away.
54
By saying that they can get it out of the way that she's not interested,
55
she means that they can clear this up immediately,
56
so there's no misunderstanding later.
57
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
58
And that's a great phrase to learn advanced English pronunciation because it has some connected speech in it.
59
And that is, it's being pronounced with words being cut,
60
reduced, and linked together.
61
And if you learn this,
62
your comprehension of fast speech will increase significantly.
63
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
64
No, I'm sorry, I wasn't hitting on you.
65
Trust me.
66
We have three examples of a flap T there,
67
this softer sound that resembles a D sound,
68
like ra ra ra, very common in American English.
69
She says get it, not get it,
70
and then it links to out,
71
so it sounds like get it out.
72
And finally, she doesn't say out of the way,
73
but rather out of the way.
74
So this happens because the T in those phrases stand between two vowels.
75
Really cool right?
76
Get it out of the way.
77
Get it out of the way.
78
Now let's hear you try it.
79
Repeat after Rachel.
80
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
81
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
82
I've given dozens of these and without fail whatever new hotshot it is thinks
83
that because I'm just a paralegal that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
84
Let me assure you, I won't.
85
So let's understand what Rachel said here.
86
She's explaining that every time a new lawyer joins the firm He assumes
87
that just because she's a legal assistant should be blown away
88
or amazed by his impressive law degree His certificate from law school.
89
Check out this other example of the expression blown away I'm blown away
90
You bought me a car
91
I've given dozens of these and without fail whatever new hotshot it is thinks
92
that because I'm just a paralegal The phrase without fail is used to emphasize that something always happens every single time.
93
Like every day without fail he has toast and coffee for breakfast.
94
And a hotshot is an informal expression meaning someone who thinks they're very talented or important,
95
sometimes a little too confident.
96
I didn't know that.
97
I learned it when I studied for the bar.
98
Okay, hot shot.
99
Fire up this laptop.
100
Now let's watch the next part of the scene.
101
Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.
102
So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
103
On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
104
mergers across from divorce, symmetry.
105
Ah, I should just listen.
106
The firm operates on a chain of command model.
107
Harvey's your commanding officer.
108
However, Louis Slit, he oversees all associates,
109
so you'll also answer to him.
110
So Rachel gives Mike an orientation,
111
leading him down one of the main corridors in Office Tour.
112
Pay attention now, because we'll see several advanced expressions in a short amount of time.
113
Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.
114
In this context, bank of offices refer to a group of offices in the law firm.
115
An arena of the law means an area of law.
116
Just like she says, company acquisitions is one of these areas.
117
Divorces is another area.
118
Basically, these different departments specialize or focus on different areas of law.
119
And the department heads are senior lawyers.
120
Each section of the law firm is led by them and their offices are located at the end of each area.
121
So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
122
On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
123
So the left side of their offices specializes in mergers and acquisitions,
124
that is, big business deals.
125
A merger is when two companies join together to become one bigger company.
126
An acquisition is when one company buys another company and takes control of it.
127
These deals require legal procedures,
128
so that's what they do there at the law firm.
129
The opposite side of the corridor handles high net worth divorces.
130
This is when wealthy couples get divorced, when they get separated.
131
Normally, because they have so much money and properties to split,
132
they need legal support too.
133
By the way, the expression net worth refers to exactly that,
134
the total value of all the money and property a person has.
135
Nice, mergers across from divorce, symmetry.
136
Mike is making a funny observation about the office layout.
137
Mergers, that is companies coming together,
138
are exactly on the other side of divorces,
139
that is couples who are separating.
140
He calls this symmetry, when you have two sides and they match each other creating a nice balance.
141
For example, you could see yin and yang as a symbol of symmetry and harmony.
142
Here's a clever example from the movie Mr. and Mr. Smith.
143
So what did you decide?
144
I want a divorce.
145
I like it.
146
You propose to me here so it has agreeable symmetry.
147
Cool, sir.
148
Ah, I should just listen.
149
The firm operates on a chain of command model.
150
Harvey's your commanding officer.
151
However, Louis Slit, he oversees all the suits,
152
so you'll also answer to him.
153
So here, Rachel is explaining how the law firm is structured.
154
A chain of command is a system where people have different levels of authority and orders come from the top down.
155
So Harvey is Mike's boss.
156
Mike will also have to report to Louis Litt,
157
who oversees all junior lawyers.
158
You could also say Louis manages,
159
supervises, or he's in charge of the junior lawyers.
160
And by the way, remember that you can practice all this vocabulary that you've been seeing today on our own app.
161
I highly recommend you try it.
162
It's the best way for you to make sure
163
that you never forget all these words and expressions that you've been learning with these lessons.
164
In fact, I find it even better to watch it from there because you've got a way more powerful experience.
165
Click the link below to start now and you'll be taken directly to this lesson over there.
166
Or you can search for real-life English on Google Play or the App Store and I hope to see you there.
167
What do you think about Harvey?
168
People are in awe of him.
169
Hmm, people are in awe of him.
170
What do you think that means?
171
That people dislike him, admire, or fear him.
172
When you're in awe of someone or something,
173
you feel deep respect or admiration because you're very impressive or dazzling.
174
Another nice word we learned today.
175
People are in awe of him.
176
They say he's the best closer there is,
177
but I have very little contact with him, so I don't know.
178
In this context, a closer is someone who is really good at finishing important deals or winning cases.
179
Now, did you hear the connected speech there?
180
Let's go back and check that out.
181
People are in awe of them.
182
A lot of linking here.
183
Pretty much every single word.
184
Let's see.
185
People are becomes people are.
186
Next, the word are links to in,
187
so we get are in. Are in.
188
Then from are in, we go to ah,
189
so we get are in awe.
190
And make sure to pronounce the vowel sound correctly here.
191
It's ah not oh No drop ah like in the word awesome
192
Finally the H sound in him is dropped as he gets linked to of
193
of him of them Note that the main stress falls on the word ah people are in all of them
194
Now it's your turn to practice People are in all of them People are in all of them
195
Now let's watch the next part of the scene.
196
Rachel shows Mike his cubicle,
197
jokingly telling him this is where you live,
198
meaning he'll be spending a lot of time there.
199
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
200
It's because...
201
Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.
202
To ogle means to stare at someone in a way that shows attraction,
203
often too obviously, or in a way that makes the other person uncomfortable.
204
Mom, that perv is ogling you again.
205
No!
206
I was reading my horoscope.
207
You will borrow a huge swimsuit today.
208
What?
209
So Mike proves Rachel wrong by repeating everything she told him,
210
showing that he actually was listening.
211
Partners offices anchor the wings.
212
Fifth floor is research.
213
Six is security.
214
All work gets built, even if it's finding an address.
215
I answer to Harvey and Louis Litt,
216
and judging by the way you responded to my questions,
217
I should admire Harvey and I should fear Louis.
218
Partners offices anchor the wings.
219
You remember the structure of the company, right?
220
So here, Mike says that the offices of the senior lawyers,
221
the partners, are at the end of each wing, each sector.
222
And all the work, even the minor things, gets billed.
223
So everything the lawyers do costs money and gets charged.
224
Getting billed means being charged for services or products.
225
You have been here for five years,
226
and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
227
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
228
You know what nobody likes?
229
Nobody likes a show off.
230
You used the word ogling.
231
When do I get to see Harvey?
232
You have been here for five years,
233
and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
234
If someone outranks another person,
235
they have more authority in a company, for example.
236
The word outranks is commonly more associated with the military to show that one officer holds a higher position than another.
237
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
238
You know what nobody likes?
239
Nobody likes a show-off.
240
A show-off is someone who likes to brag or make sure that everyone notices how great they are at something.
241
They do things just to impress people.
242
What's interesting about this word is that it can be used both as a noun and as a verb.
243
Check it out in this example.
244
Is it just me or Zach perfect?
245
He's good looking but not into himself.
246
Smart but not a show-off.
247
Athletic but sensitive.
248
Alright, now prepare for the test.
249
You'll watch the entire scene again, this time without subtitles and I'm gonna ask you some questions.
250
Let's do this.
251
Mike Gross?
252
Hi.
253
I'm Rachel Zane.
254
I'll be giving you your orientation.
255
Wow, you're pretty.
256
Good.
257
You hit on me.
258
If a person hits on you,
259
they are attacking you, interested in you,
260
or acting as if they were better than you.
261
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
262
No, I'm sorry, I wasn't hitting on you.
263
Trust me, I've given dozens of these and without fail,
264
whatever new hotshot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal,
265
that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
266
Let me assure you, I won't.
267
What would be the opposite of dazzling?
268
Dull?
269
Brilliant? Or impressive?
270
Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.
271
So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
272
On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
273
The firm operates on a chain of command model.
274
Harvey's your commanding officer.
275
However, Louis Slit, he's a f*ing doll associate,
276
so you'll also answer to him.
277
Which verb means to supervise and check the progress of someone's work?
278
Overlook, overhear, oversee.
279
However, Lewis Slit, he oversees all associates,
280
so you'll also answer to him.
281
What do you think about Harvey?
282
People are in awe of him.
283
And finally, this is where you'll live.
284
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
285
It's because...
286
Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.
287
You don't want somebody ogling you because it means they are completely ignoring you,
288
staring at you, or disrespecting you.
289
All right,
290
guys.
291
Great job.
292
Now remember to go and practice everything that you learned today on the RealLife app.
293
Just click the link in the description below to start the vocabulary practice right away.
294
Thank you.
295
Not at all.
296
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of these United States of America at your service.
297
Okay, I'm Larry Daly, the new night guard.
298
Pleasure to meet you, Lawrence Daly!
299
You'll have to excuse me though.
300
The hunt is a foot.
301
Hunt's foot.
302
Um, okay, excuse me, Mr. President.
303
Can I ask you something?
304
Yes, but just one question.
305
All right, okay, why?
306
Is it, like, just some,
307
like, free wishes kind of deal?
308

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.
