Today you're coming with me around the city so

that you can learn 20 everyday really useful English expressions like this

and this helps us remember the expression make a splash

and idioms like this this big fella behind me leads us to our next expression the lion's share and even this

so you would probably say he's naked or you could use this next expression he's starkers hi i'm steve

now this city is unusual

because it's got two cathedrals this is what's commonly known as the old one

and this one which as you can see is a lot more modern

and you could say these two cathedrals are like chalk and cheese, which is our next expression.

Chalk and cheese.

This is used when two things are very different, like this.

One of my kids likes riding their bike, but the other prefers reading.

They're like chalk and cheese.

If you look behind me, you can see lots of rope on this boat,

which leads us nicely to our next expression, money but old rope.

This means money that's easy to come by.

You can get it without much effort.

Use it like this.

She's a television reviewer.

Her job is money for old rope.

Behind me is the only natural spring in the whole of this city.

And it leads into this tiny little pond.

And this helps us remember the expression, make a splash.

To make a splash means to attract attention.

Do something that makes you stand out.

He really made a splash at the party by wearing a fancy jacket.

Now behind me is grass.

And that takes us to our next expression.

The other man's grass is always greener.

This means that other people always seem to be in a better situation than you are.

It's used like this.

He said that he wanted to change his job, but I warned him that the other man's grass is always greener.

These stones that I'm walking on are called cobbles, and that should help us with the phrase cobble together.

This means to make or build something quickly, using whatever you already have.

Chews like this.

They cobbled together a meal from what was already in the fridge.

And now I'm in the underground to bring you the next English expression. On the right track.

To be on the right track means to be acting or thinking in a way that's likely to lead to success.

She checked her notes again and realised she was on the right track for the test.

Now we're inside the railway station, and behind me you can see a train.

This leads us to our next expression, lose your train of thought.

This means to forget what you were talking about, or thinking, because of an interruption.

The loud noise made me lose my train of thought.

Now this used to be a small prison and to say that someone's actually in prison, we use the expression behind bars.

This means to be in prison.

Use it like this.

The gang of car thieves are all behind bars.

Behind me are headstones.

These belong on a grave.

And that gives us our next English expression, pushing up daisies.

This English expression means to be dead and buried.

He was warned that he'll be pushing up daisies if he keeps driving so fast.

As we look around the city, you can see that there's one building that's a lot taller than all the others.

It's that tower behind me.

So we could use the expression, it's head and shoulders above the rest.

This means to be much bigger or better than everyone or everything else.

She is head and shoulders above the rest of the applicants for the job.

This statue behind me is really famous in this city and as you can see he's not wearing any clothes at all.

So you would probably say he's naked or you could use this next expression, he's Stalkers.

Stalkers means to be completely naked.

Use it like this.

He came out of the bathroom stalkers because he forgot to take his towel.

In the UK, we usually don't say call a cab, we say hail a cab.

Use it like this.

In English we say we're going to hail a cab, basically it means to wave your hand to stop a taxi in the street.

They stepped out into the rain and put their hand up to hail a cab.

I've been walking for over an hour now making this video.

So I could say I was tired, or I could use the expression, I'm pooped.

If you're pooped, you're extremely tired or exhausted.

So you might say...

After working all day, I was far too pooped to go out for dinner.

Now this statue is a member of the royal family riding a horse.

And that leads us to our next expression.

Straight from the horse's mouth.

This expression means to get information directly from the person who knows all about it.

She knew the shop was closing because she heard it straight from the horse's mouth when the owner told her.

This big fella behind me leads us to our next expression.

The lion's share.

The lion's share means the largest portion or the majority of something.

She was like this.

He spent the lion's share of his Saturday morning tidying the house before his guests arrived.

and the next expression is it's fishy

if something is fishy it means it's suspicious

or you don't trust it something about his sudden decision to

sell the business felt fishy the coffee shop behind me is one of my favorites

because it gives all its profits to homeless people However, it's quite tricky to find.

And that's because it's off the beaten track.

Off the beaten track means located far away from busy roads or popular places where most people go.

Often it's quite hard to find.

We found a brilliant little seafood place off the beaten track.

Now we're in one of the main shopping streets, which lets us use our next expression, to shop around, which is what these people are doing.

This means to compare prices and quality at different places before you buy it.

It's worth shopping around instead of buying the first thing, you see.

This city has two football teams.

Liverpool, who play in red and Everton, who play in blue.

That reminds me of two really useful English phrases.

Out of the blue means unexpectedly or without any warning.

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 called · was warned · be fixed
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	cheese, which is · person who knows · around, which is
Comparatives -er than / more … than — दो चीज़ों की तुलना	taller than · better than · more money than
Past continuous was/were + -ing — बीते समय के किसी क्षण में चल रहा काम	were talking · was closing

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 16 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, we're, you're। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

“th” की ध्वनियाँ: cathedral /kəˈθiːdɹəl/, thief /ˈθiːf/, cloth /klɒθ/
“sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: splash /splæʃ/, interruption /ˌɪntəˈɹʌpʃən/, suspicious /səˈspɪʃ.əs/
लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: interruption /ˌɪntəˈɹʌpʃən/, unexpectedly /ʌnɪkˈspɛktɪdli/

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: warn /woɹn/, grave /ɡɹeɪv/
/z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: daisy /ˈdeɪ.zi/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, starkers /ˈstɑɹkɚz/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/
शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: splash /splæʃ/, stalker /ˈstɔːkə(ɹ)/, statue /ˈstæt͡ʃu/, starkers /ˈstɑɹkɚz/

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 poop, chalk, hail 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।
