Hello everyone and welcome back to Everyday English Talk.

I am Anna.

And I am Ben.

Thank you for joining us today.
5
In our last episode, we talked about what we do and how we feel on a rainy day.
6
Today, we are staying with the rain, but we are talking about something very delicious.
7
That is right.
8
Today's topic is rainy day comfort foods.
9
A comfort food is food that makes you feel happy, warm, and safe.
10
We all have those special meals we want to eat when the weather is dark and wet outside.
11
We will share our favorites and learn some great English phrases along the way.
12

13
You will find the link in the description.
14
Let us get started.
15
So, Anna, when the sky is gray and the rain is falling, do you ever get a strong feeling that you want a specific food?
16
Oh, yes, I definitely do.
17
When it is cold and wet outside, my body just wants something warm.
18
I always have a craving for something hot.
19
I do not want cold salads or sandwiches.
20
I agree with you.
21
A cold salad is not good for a rainy day.
22
What is your favorite hot meal when it rains?
23
I love a big bowl of steaming hot soup.
24
It is my favorite thing in the world.
25
Sometimes I make chicken soup with noodles, and sometimes I make a simple vegetable soup.
26
Soup is perfect.
27
It warms you up from the inside.
28
Yes, it really does.
29
And the most important part of the soup is the broth.
30
I love a rich broth.
31
It takes a long time to cook, but it tastes so good.
32
The rich broth makes the whole house smell wonderful.
33
That sounds amazing.
34
I can almost smell it now.
35
For me, I always want hot drinks like we talked about before.
36
A big cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate is great.
37
But for a meal, I love something different.
38
What do you like to eat?
39
I love hot pot.
40
Do you know hot pot, Anna?
41
Yes, of course.
42
It is a big pot of boiling soup in the middle of the table, right?
43
Exactly.
44
You put the steaming hot pot on the table, and you cook meat, vegetables, and noodles right there.
45
It is so much fun.
46
That sounds like a lot of food.
47
Do you eat it alone?
48
No, I never eat hot pot alone.
49
I always call my friends.
50
We gather around the table, cook the food together, and talk for hours.
51
It is the best way to spend a rainy evening.
52
That is a wonderful idea.
53
You stay inside, you stay warm, and you enjoy good food with good people.
54
Yes, when you gather around a warm meal, you forget about the bad weather outside.
55
The rain just becomes background noise.
56
I completely agree.
57
Hot soup and hot pot are definitely great comfort foods.
58
They make everything feel better.
59
They really do.
60
Now, I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
61
Me too.
62
Let me tell you more about my chicken soup.
63
I like to add carrots, celery, and a lot of garlic.
64
The garlic makes the rich broth even better.
65
Do you buy the soup from a store or do you make it yourself?
66
I always make it myself.
67
Cooking is part of the comfort.
68
When I stand in the kitchen and stir the pot, I feel very relaxed.
69
The sound of the rain on the window makes it even better.
70
That is a very peaceful picture.
71
For my hot pot, we usually prepare many different plates of food.
72
We slice the beef very thin so it cooks fast in the rich broth.
73
We wash a lot of green vegetables.
74
Preparing the food together sounds like a fun activity for a rainy afternoon.
75
It is.
76
We wash the vegetables, we cut the mushrooms, and we set the table.
77
Everyone helps.
78
Then we sit down and watch the water boil.
79
When the food is steaming hot, we take it out and eat it with special sauces.
80
I can see why that is your favorite.
81
It is not just about the food.
82
It is about the experience.
83
You have a craving for the feeling of being together, not just the hot pot.
84
You are exactly right.
85
It is about sharing a warm moment with friends.
86
Next time it rains, maybe I will invite some friends over and try making a hot pot instead of my usual chicken soup.
87
You should.
88
It is very easy to do.
89
And you can choose any kind of rich broth you want.
90
Some people like spicy broth and some people like clear, mild broth.
91
I think I would prefer a mild broth.
92
Spicy food is good, but a clear broth is more relaxing for me.
93
That sounds great.
94
Just make sure it is steaming hot.
95
That is the most important rule for rainy day food.
96
Let us review some useful phrases from our chat.
97
Good idea.
98
First is, have a craving for.
99
It means you really want to eat a specific food right now.
100
Example.
101
I have a craving for hot pizza tonight.
102
Second is steaming hot.
103
It means food or drink is very hot and producing steam.
104
Example.

a very deep strong and delicious flavor example this noodle soup has a very rich broth fourth is hot

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

इस वीडियो में, आप बारिश वाले दिनों में खाने की पसंद के बारे में बात करते हुए बोलने का एक शानदार अवसर प्राप्त करते हैं। जब मौसम सुस्त और गीला होता है, तो हम सब को कुछ खास खाने की इच्छा होती है। इस तरह के संवादों में शामिल होना न सिर्फ आपको वास्तविक जीवन की अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने का मौका देता है, बल्कि आपके शब्दावली और उच्चारण में सुधार करने में भी मदद करता है। अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने से आप अपने आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ा सकते हैं और वार्तालाप में अधिक सहज बन सकते हैं।

व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियां संदर्भ में

इस वीडियो में कई महत्वपूर्ण वाक्य संरचनाएं और अभिव्यक्तियां हैं जो आपकी अंग्रेजी सुधारने में मदद कर सकती हैं। यहां कुछ प्रमुख उदाहरण दिए गए हैं:

  • “Do you ever get a strong feeling that you want a specific food?” - यह सवाल पूछने का एक प्रभावी तरीका है, जिससे आप किसी के अनुभवों के बारे में जान सकते हैं।
  • “When it is cold and wet outside, my body just wants something warm.” - यह वाक्य सटीकता से आवश्यकताओं और इच्छाओं को व्यक्त करता है, जो आपको अपनी प्रतिक्रियाएं व्यक्त करने में मदद कर सकता है।
  • “It warms you up from the inside.” - यह इंगित करता है कि कुछ चीजें हमें आंतरिक रूप से कैसे महसूस कराती हैं। इस तरह के वाक्य आपकी भाषा को और भी जिवंत बनाते हैं।

इन संरचनाओं का अभ्यास अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग में भी किया जा सकता है, जिससे आप शब्दों को सही तरीके से बोलने में दक्षता प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

सामान्य उच्चारण की समस्याएं

वीडियो में कुछ कठिन शब्द और उच्चारण हैं, जिन पर ध्यान देना महत्वपूर्ण है। उदाहरण के लिए:

  • “comfort food” - इसे सही तरीके से उच्चारित करना जरूरी है। इसे एक साथ जुड़े शब्दों के रूप में समझें।
  • “broth” - 'o' ध्वनि पर ध्यान दें, यह अधिकतर लोग गलत उच्चारण करते हैं।
  • “vegetables” - इसका उच्चारण कुछ लोगों के लिए चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकता है, खासकर यदि वे इसे जल्दी बोलने की कोशिश करते हैं।

अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार के लिए इन शब्दों का ध्यानपूर्वक अभ्यास करना आवश्यक है। आप अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते समय इन शब्दों पर जोर देते हुए उनका सही उच्चारण सीख सकते हैं। याद रखें, नियमित अभ्यास और शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग करें, मुख्यतः shadowspeaks जैसे संसाधनों का।

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।
