How well do you know English?

Well, let's find out with five tricky adjectives that may not mean what you think.

I'm Nick from Coffee Break English, and these words can be especially tricky because they look similar to words in other languages.

But their meanings in English may be very different.

Keep track of your score out of five, and let's see how many can trick you.

Now you'll have three seconds to answer each question.

Let's go.

Here is question one.

The Coffee Break English course, Practical English for Real Life, gives you a comprehensive introduction to B1 English.

Now, which sentence describes the course?

The course is complete, The language is understandable or the teachers are kind.

Well, the answer is complete.

A. Comprehensive means covering everything or almost everything that you need.

And there are actually two traps here.

Don't confuse comprehensive with comprehensible, which means possible to understand.

And French comprehensive and Spanish and Italian comprensivo can describe a person who is understanding.

So a comprehensive English course is an English course which provides lots of information.

Okay now on to number two.

My son is very brave.

Does that mean a he always tells the truth, B.

He is always well behaved in school and he's never in trouble. Or C.

He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.

Well, this time the answer is C.

He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.

Now, German speakers, did you catch that one?

In modern German, brav commonly means good or well behaved,

especially when we're talking about children or animals.

And other languages have a similar word.

But brave in English is about having courage.

A well -behaved child isn't necessarily a brave child.

Okay, this next one catches a lot of learners out.

Listen carefully.

After months of discussion, their eventual decision was to move abroad.

Now, the eventual decision was A.

A possible decision, B.

A temporary decision, or C.

A final decision.

Hmm.

Well, the answer is C.

Eventual refers to the final decision.

What happens in the end?

Often after some time or some deliberation.

Now this is another tricky one because French eventuelle,

German eventuelle and Italian eventuelle can refer to something possible or potential.

Now let me know if my pronunciation is a bit off with those languages.

I'm not a fluent speaker in all of them.

Now in English, eventual doesn't mean possible.

Think eventual is the final result.

Now, two questions left.

I tell you, the film was terrific. Was the film A.

Really scary, B.

Amazing or C.

Really strange?

Well, this time the answer is B.

Amazing.

In everyday English, if something is terrific, it's very good. But...

This word can seem rather alarming if you speak another language.

Italian terrificante, French terrifying and Spanish terrorifico are connected with things that are terrifying or frightening in.

So a terrifying holiday?

Well that's probably not good.

But a terrific holiday?

That is excellent.

Okay final question.

I have a sensitive friend.

Which idea describes him?

Is it A.

He makes practical decisions.

B. He is easily affected or upset. Or C.

He can predict the future.

Well, the answer is B.

A sensitive person is easily affected by things emotionally or physically.

And be careful not to confuse sensitive with sensible.

Check out the other half of this quiz to find out the difference between those two words.

And how did you do in this quiz?

Let us know your score out of five in the comments.

And tell us which of these adjectives surprised you the most?

Remember, when an English word looks very similar to a word you already know,

don't automatically assume the meaning is the same.

Now the next quiz is on your screen now.

Watch it for another 5 tricky adjectives.

Thanks for watching and until next time, happy coffee breaking.

इस पाठ की शब्दावली और बोलने के सुझाव

यह स्पीकिंग पाठ वीडियो “English False Friends Quiz: 5 More Adjectives That Don't Mean What You Think” पर आधारित है। सबसे ज़्यादा दोहराए गए शब्द ये हैं: English, decision, word, answer, eventual। इस वीडियो में शैडोइंग के लिए 81 वाक्य और 656 शब्द हैं। बोला गया हिस्सा 6:53 लंबा है। वक्ता धीरे बोलता है, लगभग 95 शब्द प्रति मिनट, इसलिए हर ध्वनि की नकल करने का समय मिलता है। केवल 81% शब्द अंग्रेज़ी के 3,000 सबसे आम शब्दों में से हैं, इसलिए शब्दावली कठिन है।

इस वीडियो की मुख्य शब्दावली

वीडियो के 15 सीखने लायक शब्द, उच्चारण और अर्थ के साथ:

शब्द	उच्चारण	अर्थ
comprehensive विशेषण	/ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/	विस्तृत, व्यापक
brave विशेषण	/bɹeɪv/	बहादुर, व्यकित
behave क्रिया	/bɪˈheɪv/	आचरण करना, बर्ताव करना
quiz संज्ञा	/kwɪz/	क्विज़, प्रश्नोत्तरी
practical विशेषण	/ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/	प्रायोगिक
necessarily क्रिया विशेषण	/ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/	अवश्य, अनिवार्यतः
temporary विशेषण	/ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/	अस्थायी
trick संज्ञा	/ˈtɹɪk/	चाल
everyday विशेषण	/ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/	दैनिक, रोज़ाना
abroad क्रिया विशेषण	/əˈbɹɔːd/	विदेश में
commonly क्रिया विशेषण	/ˈkɑmənli/	सामान्यतः
scary विशेषण	/ˈskɛə.ɹi/	भयानक, डरावना
courage संज्ञा	/ˈkʌ.ɹɪd͡ʒ/	साहस, हौसला
alarm संज्ञा	/əˈlɑɹm/	चेतावनी
pronunciation संज्ञा	/pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/	उच्चारण, तलफ़्फ़ुज़

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	are connected · is easily affected
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	comprehensible, which means · person who is
“might / may” से संभावना might/may + क्रिया — जो हो सकता है पर पक्का नहीं	may not mean · may be
Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — जो अभी या इन दिनों हो रहा है	is understanding · we're talking

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 10 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे isn't, don't, I'm। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

“sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, deliberation /dɪˌlɪbəˈɹeɪʃən/
लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, temporary /ˈtɛmp(əˌɹ)ɛɹi/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

/v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: comprehensive /ˌkɑm.pɹəˈhɛn.sɪv/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, sensitive /ˈsɛn.sɪt.ɪv/, brave /bɹeɪv/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/
/z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: quiz /kwɪz/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, physically /ˈfɪz.ɪ.kli/
/æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, trap /tɹæp/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर comprehensive, brave, behave जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
