शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Learn English with SHERLOCK - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hello?

Hi, I live in the flat just below you.

I don't think we've met.

No, well, I've just moved in.

Actually, I've...

I just locked my keys in my flat.

You want me to buzz you in?

Yeah, and can I use your balcony?

What?

I'm sure Sherlock Holmes needs no introduction.

But can you guess how many movies and series have been based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.

There are over 250 adaptations in movies and TV series, making Sherlock Holmes one of the most portrayed characters in history.

Unlike previous versions, the series starring Benedict Cumberbatch is set in the 21st century,

where Sherlock uses modern technology like smartphones and GPS to solve crimes.

The two words from the short clip you just saw are included in the flashcards deck for this lesson.

They are moving.

and buzz someone in.

So let's explore advanced British vocabulary, and cultural nuances while sharpening your English comprehension, and critical thinking.

just like the world's most famous detective.

- Do you think he'd lost a lot of money?

I mean, suicide is pretty common among city boys.

We don't know that it was suicide.

Come on.

The door was locked from the inside.

You had to climb down the balcony. Been away three days.

Judging by the laundry.

Okay.

Look at the case.

There was something tightly packed inside it.

Thanks, I'll take your word for it.

Problem?

I'm not desperate to root around some blokes dirty underwear.

Those symbols at the bank, the graffiti, why were they put there?

- Some sort of code?

- Obviously.

Maybe they painted.

If you want to communicate, why not use email?

Well, maybe he wasn't answering.

Oh, good you follow.

Nope.

What kind of a mess would everyone try to avoid?

What about this morning?

There's less as you were looking at.

Bills?

- Oh.

Yes.

He was being threatened.

- I'm on a gas board.

- See if you can get prints off this glass.

Ah, Sergeant, we haven't met.

Yeah, I know who you are, and I'd prefer it if you didn't tamper with any of the evidence.

Okay.

I phoned Estrade, is he on his way?

He's busy, I'm in charge.

And it's not Sergeant, it's Detective Inspector.

Dimuk.

In this context, a city refers to the financial district of London, also known as the city.

City boys is a slang word for men who work in finance often seen as wealthy and under pressure.

stereotype of high stress in the financial industry, which sometimes leads to mental health issues.

The door was locked from the inside, you had to climb down the balcony.

Been away three days.

judging by the laundry.

Thank you.

Look at the case.

There was something tightly packed inside it.

Thanks, I'll take your word for it.

Problem?

The phrase "judging by" means you're making a guess or assumption based on something you can see or notice.

So, Sherlock makes an educated guess about how long the person

has been away by looking at the dirty clothes in his suitcase.

A common collocation for this phrase would be "judging by the look" on one's face or by one's expression, like it was used in this clip.

expression.

Your business doesn't seem to be prospering.

Look at the case, there was something tightly packed inside it.

Thanks, I'll take your word for it.

If you believe what someone is saying and you don't need any proof or checking it yourself, you take the award for it.

Watson trusts Sherlock's observation without needing to check it himself.

Like in this clip, Hugh Grant's character knows there are dozens of journalists outside their house and he says: Don't go outside.

Just believe me.

I wouldn't go outside.

Why not?

Just take my blood for it.

Oh.

And I can tell you, don't take my word for it when I say

that the RealLife English app is the best app for English learners you can find today.

Check it out yourself.

The most common issue I had when I just started speaking English daily was constantly forgetting some words.

I knew I learned them, but I couldn't retrieve them from my memory when I needed them.

Would you believe me if I told you that if you spent just 10 -15 minutes a day working with the flashcards,

then these new words you learned today like judging by or moving they will stick with you forever.

That's all thanks to the Space Repetition software we built into our app.

Using flashcards, the system prompts you to retrieve words at specific intervals, helping you move them from your short -term into long -term memory,

100

so you won't forget them.

101

Along with the pronunciation and example sentences, you'll also find writing exercise to help you spell the words correctly.

102

And I can tell you, don't take my word for it when I say

103

that the RealLife English app is the best app for English learners you can find today.

104

Check it out yourself!

105

And by the way, now you can have one free deck for any lesson you choose.

106

Don't miss out on this opportunity!

107

and get started today.

108

Thanks, I'll take your word for it.

109

I'm not desperate to root around some blokes dirty underwear.

110

Root around is to search through something in a messy or casual way.

111

Watson says he doesn't want to search through someone's personal belongings.

112

He even says I'm not desperate, meaning he's not in that situation where he would have to root around some dirty underwear.

113

And I was like rooting around in your things and I found this and I thought, cool.

114

Hey, let us know in the comments if you want us to make a lesson with this movie.

115

It's just such a classic.

116

Anna, look, I'm a fairly level -headed bloke.

117

Not often.

118

in and out of Love. But, uh...

119

Can I just say no to you?

120

Kind request.

121

Leave it or not.

122

Those symbols at the bank, the graffiti, why were they put there?

123

Some sort of code?

124

Obviously.

125

Why were they painted?

126

If you want to communicate, why not use email?

127

Well, maybe you won't answer him.

128

Oh, could you follow?

129

Nope.

130

In this context, follow means to understand what someone is saying.

131

For example, if you want to check whether the person you are talking to understands you, you can ask: "Are you following what I'm saying?" Good.

132

Do you like ice cream?

133

I'm sorry, sir, I don't follow.

134

What about this morning?

135

As less as you will have given.

136

Bills?

137

Yes, he was being threatened.

138

Here, the word "bills" refers to the regular payments for services like electricity, gas, or water.

139

Common collocation would be to pay the bills, monthly bills, or utility bills.

140

When you are threatened, you are in danger of being hurt or harmed.

141

So, someone had warned the man that something bad would happen to him if he didn't do what they said.

142

him.

143

Remember the word "bills"?

144

So, the "gas board" refers to the companies

145

that supply gas in the UK and send you your monthly bills to pay for the service.

146

Sherlock means the threats were serious not just from a utility company demanding payment.

147

And a cultural note: mentioning a utility bill adds a touch of British humor,

148

showing the contrast between everyday problems like paying bills and life -threatening ones.

149

To tamper with something means to mess with it, often in a way that causes damage or changes the outcome.

150

In the scene, the detective is warning Sherlock not to touch the evidence at the crime scene.

151

"Peter, we tampered with the stability of space -time to resurrect countless

152

When you are on your way, you are currently coming or traveling to a place.

153

I was just there. May I join you? Of course.

154

He's busy.

155

I'm in charge.

156

Dymok says he's in charge, meaning he's the one responsible for the investigation at the crime scene.

157

And I'm in charge of checking how well you remember some of the expressions before we move on to the next scene.

158

So, are you ready for a short quiz?

159

what does it mean to root around you Oh To search through something.

160

And what does it mean if someone is asking you "Do you follow?" Amen.

161

Oh It means "Do you understand?" Good job!

162

And remember, if you want to remember these words tomorrow, and a week later, and then months later,

163

go to the RealLife English app and have a vocabulary practice session with all these words we covered today.

164

Your first deck of flashcards is always free.

165

Now let's watch the next scene.

166

Thank you.

167

We're obviously looking at a suicide.

168

That does seem the only explanation of all the facts.

169

Wrong.

170

It's one possible explanation of some of the facts.

171

You've got a solution that you like, but you're choosing to ignore anything you see that doesn't comply with it.

172

Like?

173

The wounds on the right side of his head. And?

174

Van Coombe is left -handed.

175

Quires quite a bit of contortion.

176

Left -handed?

177

I'm amazed you didn't notice.

178

All you have to do is look around this flat.

179

Coffee table on the left -hand side, coffee mug handle pointing to the left, power sockets, habitually used the ones on the left.

180

Pen and paper on the left -hand side of the phone

181

because he picked it up with his right and took down messages with his left.

182

You want me to go on?

183

No, I think you've covered.

184

I might as well.

185

I'm almost at the bottom of the list.

186

There's a knife on the breadboard with butter on the right side of the blade.

187

Because he used it with his left, it's highly unlikely that a left -handed man would shoot himself in the right side of his head.

188

here and murdered him only explanation of all the facts but the gun he was waiting for the killer It means threatened.

189

Max, you've got a solution that you like but you're choosing to ignore anything you see that doesn't comply with it.

190

If you follow the rule or do what is expected of you, then you comply with it.

191

You have to come with me.

192

I'm not going anywhere.

193

This is a court order, and if you don't comply with it, I'm afraid you may be in some trouble.

194

Max, you've got a solution that you like, but you're choosing to ignore anything you see that doesn't comply with it.

195

Like?

196

The wound's on the right side of his head.

197

Hand?

198

Van Coon was left -handed.

199

Requires quite a bit of contortion.

200

Contortion means twisting or bending in an unusual or difficult way.

201

Sherlock mentions

202

that it would take a lot of contortion for a left

203

-handed person to shoot themselves on the right side of the head, meaning it would be an awkward, unnatural position.

204

And by the way, if you've ever watched an acrobatic performance, this is also called a contortion,

205

when your body is so flexible that you can bend it in the most unnatural ways.

206

And the artist or performer is called a contortionist.

207

If you do something habitually, you do it regularly or as a habit.

208

Sherlock talks about how Van Koon habitually uses certain power sockets, meaning it was his normal routine to use those on the left side.

209

Do you want me to go on?

210

No, I think you've covered it.

211

I might as well, I'm almost at the bottom of the list.

212

"Might as well" is an interesting phrase, It is used when you're suggesting that it's better to do something often because there's just no good reason not to.

213

Sherlock says "I might as well continue listing details" meaning he's already started so he thinks he might as well finish.

214

You might want a couple examples with this phrase to learn how to use it in the context.

215

John, there's something...

216

I should say, I meant to say always and I never have.

217

Since it's unlikely we'll ever meet again, I might as well say it now.

218

- Sherlock is actually a girl's name.

219

- Yeah.

220

I saw it.

221

I'm gonna be stuck here in small length.

222

Might as well do something useful.

223

When something is very improbable, or probably won't happen, it is highly unlikely.

224

Sherlock says it's highly unlikely that a left -handed man would shoot himself on the right side of the head,

225

meaning it doesn't make sense or it's very unlikely.

226

There's a knife on the breadboard with butter on the right side of the blade.

227

Because he used it with his left, it's highly unlikely that a left -handed man would shoot himself in the right side of his head.

228

Conclusion: someone broke in here and murdered him.

229

Only explanation of all the facts.

230

Conclusion is the final decision or opinion you arrive at after thinking about something carefully.

231

A common collocation would be jump to a conclusion.

232

And should they happen to see the Duke of Edinburgh out and about with them, beautiful younger companion, it would be an irritation if they felt at liberty to jump to any wrong conclusions.

233

When you break in, you enter a place illegally, without permission, usually by force.

234

I hope you liked our today's lesson.

235

Write us in the comments which words and expressions were new to you.

236

The door was locked from the inside.

238

You had to climb down the balcony. Been away three days.

239

Judging by the laundry.

240

Look at the case.

241

There was something tightly packed inside it.

242

Thanks, I'll take your word for it.

243

Problem?

244

If you take someone's word for it, you write down what they say, believe what they say, need to check if that's true.

245

I'm not desperate to root around some blokes dirty underwear.

246

Those symbols at the bank, the graffiti, why were they put there?

247

Some sort of code?

248

Obviously.

249

Why were they painted?

250

More to communicate, why not use email?

251

Well, maybe he wasn't answering.

252

How could you follow?

253

Nope.

254

So What does "follow" mean in these contexts?

255

It means "good you understand".

256

Ah, Sergeant, we haven't met.

257

Yeah, I know who you are, and I'd prefer it if you didn't tamper with any of the evidence.

258

- - Okay.

259

I phoned Estrade, is he on his way?

260

He's busy.

261

I'm in charge.

262

And it's not Sergeant, it's Detective Inspector.

263

Dimock.

264

Which word is the closest in meaning to the word temper, mess with, make fun of, analyze?

265

We're obviously looking at a suicide.

266

That does seem the only explanation of all the facts.

267

Ron.

268

It's one possible explanation of some of the facts.

269

You've got a solution that you like, but you're choosing to ignore anything you see that doesn't comply with it.

270

Like?

271

The wound's on the right side of his head.

272

284

I mean, to many Americans, it sounds so distinguished and, you know.

285

Oh no, it's awful.

286

When I come to America, I always feel really...

287

I hate my English accent because it sounds so kind of like I don't know, pretentious?

288

I don't know if that's the word, it sounds really kind of, I don't know.

289

So by the end of my stay here I kind of find that my English is kind of

290

edging towards American English accent.

291

No, what's pretentious is when people affect an English accent.

292

Yours is real.

293

You're allowed to have one.

294

There are people like Madonna, who like two years ago, started to be like, "Oh, hello, hello." "I'm just feeling, I'm excited to have it."
