Hello, and welcome back to my Slow English Podcast.

A podcast for you to learn English in a slow, comprehensible way.

Today, I want to talk about essential idioms and phrases in English.

The first idiom is to get a big head.

Sometimes I don't give compliments to my sister because if I told her every day,

she would get a big head.

Her ego would be too big.

Some people I see here,

surfing or skating, are really good at it.

But I see their attitude and the way they speak to other people,

and they definitely have a big head, a big ego.

They act like they're better than everyone else.

I sometimes get a big head.

Only when I read my comments on YouTube,

all of the beautiful comments boost my ego.

And sometimes I get a big head.

But I try not to get a big head.

And I'm just happy that my followers enjoy my vidiums.

You have to be careful with idioms.

Because you can't just translate from your language to English.

It won't make any sense.

For example, to get a big head.

You can't say that in Spanish.

It doesn't make any sense.

What's the version of getting a big head in your language?

How would you translate it?

Another common idiom is cold feet.

Just like that.

Cold feet.

If you get cold feet,

you get nervous about something before it happens.

For example, if you have an important job interview or maybe a presentation,

you might get cold feet and not go because you're too nervous.

The other day, I was at the beach and the waves were massive.

You could hear them crashing onto the shore.

I was with my friend and we decided to go in anyways.

Even though we were nervous, we still went in.

But then, as soon as I got in the ocean,

I remembered a scary experience in the ocean.

And I got cold feet.

I decided not to go in.

I was too nervous.

My friend said, oh no, you got cold feet?

And I said, yeah, it's too scary.

Have you ever gotten cold feet before doing something scary or important?

Do you know that feeling when you want to practice speaking everything you've learned,

but your brain just says,

nope, it happens to me.

I get cold feet when it comes to speaking a new language.

That's why I love using italki.

How are you?

Fine, how are you?

This one, we pronounce it.

Here's a G-G-G-G.

G-M.

Try.

Okay.

Try again.

You don't need to be perfect.

You just need to practice out loud.

And italki gives you the perfect space to do that with someone who is kind and patient.

Now, another common idiom is to throw someone under the bus.

It's a crazy idiom.

But when you throw someone under the bus,

you basically blame them or betray them.

You do it to save yourself only.

I have thrown people under the bus before,

but I've also been thrown under the bus myself.

I was thrown under the bus by my sister once.

One time, we were watching TV together in the basement when I said,

I could really go for a big bag of Cheetos and a big tub of ice cream.

Not just any ice cream,

but cookies and cream ice cream.

100

And we have one in the freezer downstairs.

101

My sister smiled mischievously and said, me too.

102

So we both went downstairs to the kitchen and we ate the whole bag of Cheetos and ice cream.

103

When my mom got back home,

104

she asked, who ate the Cheetos and the big tub of cookies and cream ice cream?

105

My sister threw me under the bus and said, Tiana did it.

106

Then I said, no, she did it.

107

And we just went back and forth,

108

throwing each other under the bus, mutually.

109

After that, I assume my mom knew it was both of us.

110

And she punished both of us.

111

Our punishment was that we couldn't watch TV in the basement for two weeks,

112

which I think is a fair punishment.

113

Have you ever been thrown under the bus by a friend or a sibling or a cousin?

114

Tell me what happened.

115

What did you do?

116

Or what did you not do?

117

Another common idiom is to blow off steam.

118

To blow off steam is to do something that releases stress or tension,

119

that gets rid of stress and relaxes you.

120

This one really resonates with me because I find myself constantly blowing off steam.

121

I can go two days maximum without running.

122

I need to run to blow off steam.

123

I need to meditate or do yoga or even just journal to blow off steam.

124

It's so important because I get so frustrated easily.

125

And I take it out on everyone around me.

126

And that's not fair.

127

So, in order to not take it out on my friends or family,

128

I prevent it by blowing off steam every day.

129

How often do you blow off steam?

130

And how do you run, box, draw, meditate, clean?

131

Another idiom that I love is to pull it off.

132

To pull something off means to succeed at something.

133

to succeed at something that was difficult or maybe surprising to you.

134

Like this one time, I had an online lesson and I had a super bad Wi-Fi connection.

135

My camera kept on freezing.

136

My slides weren't working.

137

My microphone was crackling.

138

But somehow, I pulled it off.

139

At the end of my lesson,

140

my student told me she loved the lesson.

141

But sometimes, even if it's difficult or messy,

142

you can still pull it off.

143

Another thing that I thought I wouldn't be able to pull off was a shaved head.

144

But three years ago, I shaved all of my hair off.

145

And I actually pulled it off.

146

It looked really nice on me.

147

What's a look that you think you can pull off?

148

Have you ever pulled something off when you didn't think you could do it?

149

And our last one for today, on the same page.

150

If you're on the same page with someone,

151

it means you both understand each other.

152

You both agree on something.

153

This happens a lot in different relationships.

154

If you're not on the same page with someone,

155

it can cause conflict or problems.

156

My sister and I, for example,

157

are always on the same page.

158

We both love going to Walmart,

159

watching movies, and eating grapes.

160

We also love traveling, exercising, and eating healthy.

161

So when we travel together, it's so easy.

162

We are always on the same page.

163

Who are you always on the same page with?

164

That's it for today.

165

I hope you enjoyed this video.

167

Try and tell me what some idioms in your language are.

168

They might sound crazy in English.

169

Maybe these idioms sound crazy in your language.

170

I'll see you next time in my slow English podcast.

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।
