Hello?
2
Andrea Brandi decided to kill the autumn jacket story for September and she is pulling up the Sedona shoot from October.
3
You need to come into the office right this second and you pick up her coffee order on the way.
4
Now?
5
Now get a pen and write this down.
6
I want one no-foam skimmed latte with an extra shot and three drip coffees with room for milk.
7
Searing hot, and I mean hot.
8
Is there some reason that my coffee isn't here?
9
Has she died or something?
10
No. God.
11
Oh, bloody tongue.
12
I hope you know that this is a very difficult job, for which you are totally wrong.
13
And if you mess up, my head is on a chopping block.
14
Now hang that up.
15
Don't just fling it anywhere.
16
If you ever had a tough first day at work, just be grateful you didn't have Miranda Priestley as your boss.
17
The Devil Wears Prada is one of the most beloved workplace comedies of all time,
18
starring Meryl Streep as the terrifying boss at a top fashion magazine and Anne Hathaway as Andy,
19
a young woman who has absolutely no idea what she's walked into.
20
I'm Xenia, your real-life English fluency coach, and in today's lesson, we'll learn with Andy's chaotic first day on the job.
21
And trust me, there's so much great vocabulary packed into these scenes, from fashion world expressions to professional language that you can actually use in real life.
22
And to help you truly add these words to your vocabulary, today I want to give you a free gift – access to speaking practice from this lesson completely for free.
23
The learners who are using it every day tell us this
24
kind of practice helps them speak all these expressions naturally without feeling nervous or forgetting the words.
25
Like they are simply thinking in English.
26
I'm gonna leave the link in the description below and I highly recommend you give it a try.
27
Especially if you like practical exercises that actually make you use the language you are learning.
28
Just like in real life.
29
Alright, now let's continue watching our first scene before we jump into learning the words.
30
Okay, first of all you and I answer the phones.
31
The phone must be answered every single time it rings.
32
Calls Roll to voicemail and she gets very upset.
33
If I'm not here...
34
Andrea, Andrea, you aren't chained to that desk.
35
Well, what if I need to...
36
What?
37
No. One time an assistant left the desk because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener.
38
And Miranda missed Lagerfeld just before he boarded a 17-hour flight to Australia.
39
She now works at TV Guide.
40
Man the desk at all times, got it.
41
Right, remember you and I have totally different jobs.
42
I mean, you get coffee and you run errands, yet I'm in charge of her schedule, her appointments and her expenses.
43
And most importantly, I get to go with her to Paris for Fashion Week in the fall.
44
I get to wear couture, I go to all the shows and all the parties, I meet all of the designers, it's divine.
45
In the first clip we saw when Emily calls Andy in the morning, we hear her quickly listing a very specific coffee order.
46
Now, if you've ever stood at a Starbucks counter or any coffee shop feeling confused, this is for you.
47
You need to come into the office right this second and you pick up her coffee order on the way.
48
Now?
49
Now get a pen and write this down.
50
I want one no-foam skimmed latte with an extra shot and three drip coffees with room for milk.
51
Searing hot, and I mean hot.
52
Let's break this down.
53
A latte is espresso coffee with steamed milk.
54
You know, milk heated with steam like this.
55
Foam is the light layer of bubbles we get from the steamed milk.
56
It can actually refer to any mass of small bubbles like the foam in a beer
57
or the foam that forms from ocean waves.
58
So Miranda wants no foam on her latte, just the milk with no bubbles.
59
Also by skimmed latte, she means it should be made with skim milk, that is milk with all the fat removed, which is lower in calories.
60
The opposite would be whole milk or regular milk.
61
An extra shot means an additional shot of espresso added to the drink.
62
Drip coffee is regular coffee made by hot water dripping through ground coffee beans.
63
The one most people make at home.
64
And finally, searing hot means extremely hot.
65
Searing usually describes something that burns, like searing meat on a grill.
66
Emily is making it very clear.
67
Not warm.
68
Not hot.
69
Searing hot.
70
Now, that's a lot of expressions.
71
It makes sense that Emily told Andy to write it all down.
72
But you don't have to.
73
We prepared two types of exercises for you today to help you truly learn and never forget these words.
74
You can choose.
75
There's one for intermediate learners, where you practice pronouncing the words and sentences, and another for more advanced learners, where you practice using them in real conversation.
76
Just make sure to do it to really level up your English today.
77
Alright, now moving on.
78
When Andy arrives late with Miranda's coffee, we see that Emily isn't happy.
79
I hope you know that this is a very difficult job, for which you are totally wrong.
80
And if you mess up, my head is on the chopping block.
81
If someone says their head is on the chopping block, they mean they're at risk of serious consequences,
82
losing their job, getting in trouble or being blamed for something
83
it sounds a bit dramatic so something similar you could say is I'm on the line
84
or my job is on the line check out these examples
85
I'm not going to continue jeopardizing my job I headed on
86
the chopping block here look I can't help you I like you Holly and you two seem like nice enough people
87
but my job is on the line here.
88
Then, of course, Emily doesn't miss the opportunity to say something about Andy's clothes.
89
And if you mess up, my head is on a chopping block.
90
Now hang that up.
91
Don't just fling it anywhere.
92
To fling something means to toss or throw it without care or precision.
93
Emily's telling Andy not just toss her ugly coat anywhere.
94
So next, she explains the most basic rule of the job.
95
Okay, first of all, you and I answer the phones.
96
The phone must be answered every single time it rings.
97
Calls roll to voicemail and she gets very upset.
98
When you get a call on your phone, it rings.
99
That's the verb we normally use in this case.
100
And if you don't answer the phone, the caller is redirected to leave a recorded message.
101
In other words, the call goes to voicemail.
102
Emily said rolls to voicemail.
103
Same thing.
104
balls roll to voicemail and she gets very upset
105
if i'm not here andrea andrea you are chained to
106
that desk these are chains so
107
if someone says they are chained to something they're stuck there they can't leave even
108
if they want to of course it's not a literal expression there are no real chains
109
but informally it means you have no freedom to go anywhere for example ever since we got the new puppy, I'm changed to the house.
110
And to be very clear, Emily tells the story of a previous assistant.
111
One time an assistant left the desk because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener.
112
A letter opener is the small tool used to cut open envelopes.
113
Emily explains this previous assistant sliced her hand open with a letter opener, meaning she cut her hand badly.
114
And then this person had to leave the desk because of that.
115
Let's see what happened to her.
116
One time an assistant left the desk
117
because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener
118
and Miranda missed Lagerfeld just before he boarded a 17-hour flight to Australia.
119
She now works at TV Guide.
120
She's saying that the assistant who left her desk caused Miranda to miss a call from Lagerfeld,
121
that is Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most iconic fashion designers in history.
122
And it seems that that cost her a lot, because the only job this person could get after that was a TV Guide a magazine that lists CV programming.
123
Pretty unimportant and boring by fashion world standards.
124
Man the desk at all times, got it.
125
Man here is used as a verb, which means to be present and operating something.
126
It comes from military and nautical or sea travel language.
127
For example, someone needs to man the front desk while I'm away.
128
Or who's gonna man the grill at the barbecue?
129
Check out this other example.
130
You were duty officer, weren't you?
131
Yeah.
132
Control asked me to man the phones that night.
133
Next, we hear Emily explain some of her responsibilities.
134
Right, remember you and I have totally different jobs.
135
I mean, you get coffee and you run errands, yet I'm in charge of her schedule, her appointments and her expenses.
136
To run errands means to go out and do small tasks, like buying groceries, picking up dry cleaning, delivering a package.
137
In this case, Andy will be running errands for Miranda.
138
So those could also be things like buying coffee or picking up her lunch.
139
Appointments are scheduled meetings or commitments.
140
Expenses refer to the money spent, in this case, Miranda's professional spending that Emily tracks and manages.
141
And most importantly, I get to go with her to Paris for Fashion Week in the fall.
142
I get to wear couture, I go to all the shows and all the parties, I meet all of the designers, it's divine.
143
Okay.
144
Fall is the American word for autumn, the season between summer and winter.
145
In the fashion world, seasons are everything, with spring, summer, and fall, winter being the two major seasons.
146
Couture or haute couture means exclusive clothing of original design made specifically for one person.
147
Each piece is made by hand just for that one client.
148
For Emily, getting to go to Paris and wear couture is the dream, the biggest reward of working so close to Miranda.
149
If you're not sure you're pronouncing it right or other expressions we're learning today, as I already told you,
150
you can do pronunciation practice with us on our app.
151
And it's really great because you get feedback each time you speak so you know if you're doing it right.
152
Okay, so how about this other expression Emily used?
153
Check it out.
154
Emily, what do I deal with it?
155
Deal with it means handle the situation yourself.
156
You may also hear figure it out.
157
It's often said when someone doesn't want to be bothered.
158
Okay, now in our next scene, let's see what happens when Andy is called into Miranda's office for the very first time.
159
Emily?
160
Emily?
161
She means you.
162
We just cut on the bias and so what we...
163
That's not what I asked you.
164
I couldn't have been clearer.
165
There you are, Emily.
166
How many times do I have to scream your name?
167
Actually, it's Andy.
168
My name is Andy.
169
Andrea, but everybody calls me Andy.
170
I need 10 or 15 skirts from Calvin Klein.
171
Okay, what kind of skirts do you use?
172
Please bore someone else with your questions.
173
And make sure we have Pier 59 at 8 a.m tomorrow.
174
And remind Jocelyn, I need to see a few of those satchels that Mark is doing in the pony.
175
And then tell Simone I'll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available.
176
Did DeMarchalier confirm?
177
De-De-DeMarchalier?
178
DeMarchalier?
179
Did he get him on the phone?
180
Oh, okay. And Emily?
181
Yes?
182
That's all.
183
It's just the cavalier disregard for kind of...
184
Have you ever heard this verb in this kind of phrase?
185
Please bore someone else with your questions.
186
To bore someone with something means to make them feel tired or annoyed with something they find uninteresting or unnecessary.
187
Miranda is telling Andy, in a rude way, that her questions are not welcome.
188
Now, let's break down Miranda's list of instructions because there's a lot in there.
189
Please bore someone else with your questions.
190
And make sure we have Pier 59 at 8am tomorrow.
191
And remind Jocelyn, I need to see a few of those satchels that Mark is doing in the pony.
192
And then tell Simone I'll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available.
193
Did DeMarchalier confirm?
194
So first, Pier 59 is a famous photo studio in New York City, one of the most important ones in the fashion industry.
195
A satchel is a kind of handbag with a flap.
196
Mark here refers to Marc Jacobs, the famous fashion designer.
197
In the pony, it means made from pony hair, a type of leather with short textured fur.
198
Miranda wants to see Marc's latest back designs made in this material.
199
Next, she's talking about casting, hiring models for a job.
200
Simone is probably a casting director and Jackie and Maggie are models.
201
And then tell Simone I'll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available.
202
Did DeMarchalier confirm?
203
Patrick de Marchelier was one of the most celebrated fashion photographers in the world.
204
Miranda is probably asking whether he's confirmed for the shoot.
205
Now, did you notice the way she said these words?
206
And make sure we have Pier 59 at 8 a.m tomorrow.
207
At 8 a.m tomorrow.
208
In real everyday American speech, this is how these words sound like.
209
It doesn't come out as at 8 a.m., but more like at 8 a.m.
210
At 8 a.m.
211
The T in ad becomes a soft flap T, which sounds like a D and blends together with eight. At eight. At eight. At eight.
212
Which then links to AM.
213
Try saying it.
214
At 8 AM.
215
At 8 AM.
216
At 8 AM tomorrow.
217
At 8 AM tomorrow.
218
Finally, Miranda dismisses Andy.
219
and as she leaves, we can still hear some of Miranda's words.
220
It's just the cavalier disregard for a clear...
221
Disregard means ignoring something completely.
222
Cavalier reinforces that.
223
It means showing a lack of care or seriousness.
224
Miranda is saying Andy treated her instructions as if they didn't matter.
225
Another common collocation is blatant disregard.
226
Check this out.
227
I mean, I don't judge your blatant disregard for recycling.
228
The blatant disregard for human life exhibited by companies like Arcus is committed to the safety of its workers.
229
Now back at the desk while trying to manage all that information, Andy is saved by Emily.
230
Do you have the Marcellier?
231
I have Miranda Priestly calling.
232
I have Patrick!
233
I could do all of this and you will go to Calvin Klein.
234
Me?
235
Oh, I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment?
236
Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?
237
No. Of course, just like how she started the day commenting on Andy's clothes, Emily can't resist making another remark.
238
She's sarcastically asking if Andy can go to Calvin Klein because she already has something planned.
239
asking if she has a hideous skirt convention to go to.
240
Hideous means extremely ugly or unpleasant.
241
Come out!
242
No, they mean to kill me.
243
And besides, they're hideous to look at.
244
That's extremely rude!
245
Don't listen to him, Balthazar.
246
You're classically handsome.
247
Now, are you ready for the final and most important step of the lesson?
248
we're going to test everything you've just learned, the new vocabulary and pronunciation, and put it all into practice.
249
You'll watch the three clips again, this time without subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.
250
Let's do it!
251
Now get a pen, write this down.
252
I want one no-foam skim latte with an extra shot and three drip coffees with room for milk.
253
Searing hot, and I mean hot.
254
Which of these best describes a skimmed milk?
255
Milk with extra cream added, milk with the fat removed, or milk that's been heated with steam.
256
you know that this is a very difficult job for
257
which you are totally wrong and
258
if you mess up my head is on a chopping block now hang that up don't just fling it anywhere
259
okay first of all you
260
and i answer the phones the phone must be answered every single time it rings calls roll to voicemail
261
and she gets very upset if i'm not here andrea andrea you are chained to
262
that desk if someone says they're changed to their desk today they mean they should answer After all the phone calls,
263
they can't change anything on their desk,
264
or they must stay at their desk without leaving. Which of
265
these images best represents running errands?
266
Most importantly, I get to go with her to Paris for Fashion Week in the fall.
267
I get to wear couture, I go to all the shows and all the parties, I meet all of the designers, it's divine.
268
Emily?
269
Emily?
270
She means you.
271
We just cut on the bias and so what we...
272
That's not what I asked you.
273
I couldn't have been clearer.
274
There you are, Emily.
275
How many times do I have to scream your name?
276
Actually, it's Andy.
277
My name is Andy.
278
Andrea, but everybody calls me Andy.
279
I need 10 or 15 skirts from Calvin Klein.
280
Okay, what kind of skirts do you...
281
Please bore someone else with your questions.
282
Which verb did Miranda use here telling Andy not to bother her with questions? Did the Marshalier confirm?
283
The Marshal...
284
The Marshalier?
285
Did he get him on the phone?
286
Uh, okay. And Emily?
287
Yes?
288
That's all.
289
It's just the Cavalier disregard for...
290
Do you have DeMarcelier?
291
Ah, DeMarcelier.
292
Oh, leave it.
293
Do you have...
294
I have Miranda Priestly calling.
295
I have Patrick!
296
Oh, no, she called me in there, and she asked me about Pier 59, and there was something about Simone,
297
Frankie, someone else, and she needs skirts.
298
Calvin Klein.
299
And, uh, there was something about a pony.
300
Did she say which skirts?
301
No. Did she say what kind?
302
No, I tried to ask her.
303
You never ask Miranda anything right.
304
I will deal with all of this, and you will go to Calvin Klein.
305
Me?
306
Oh, I'm sorry.
307
Do you have some prior commitment?
308
Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?
309
Oh, yeah.

318
She hates me, Nigel.
319
And that's my problem because...
320
Oh, wait, no, it's not my problem.
321
I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.
322
She doesn't even say thank you.
323
But if I do something wrong, she is vicious. So quit.
324
What?
325
Quit.
326
Quit.
327
I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes.
328
One who really wants it.
329
No, I don't want to quit.
330
That's not fair.
331
But I, you know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing her.

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

- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, vicious /ˈvɪʃəs/, precision /pɹɪˈsɪʒ.ən/
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, sarcastically /sɑː(ɹ)ˈkæstɪkli/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /w/ — שפתיים מעוגלות, לא /v/: quiz /kwɪz/, workplace /ˈwɝkˌpleɪs/, consequence /ˈkɑn.sɪ.kwəns/
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: cavalier /ˈkæ.vəˌlir/, satchel /ˈsæt͡ʃəl/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, flap /flæp/, handbag /ˈhændˌbæɡ/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: sear /sɪə̯(ɹ)/, disregard /dɪsɹɪˈɡɑɹd/, couture /kuˈtʊɹ/, errand /ˈɛɹənd/, drip /ˈdɹɪp/

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.
