Here are 10 advanced phrasal verbs for any topic that will help you understand native English speakers.
2
Hello, it's Keith from English Speaking Success and the website the Keith Speaking Academy, where you become a confident English speaker.
3
Now, if you want to understand native speakers or proficient speakers, you must know lots of phrasal verbs.
4
We use them all the time.
5
Phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or an adverbial particle, or sometimes to actually.
6
For example, right, to switch on.
7
to switch on the light.
8
to switch off the light.
9
Many, not many, some phrasal verbs can be idiomatic, like to turn up, meaning to appear.
10
"I'm happy that you turned up today.
11
"Thank you." Yes.
12
Now, as I said, native English speakers and proficient speakers of English use phrasal verbs a lot.
13
especially in these everyday conversations, right?
14
So, oh, and if you're preparing for IELTS speaking test,
15
then these 10 advanced phrasal verbs today might help you stand out from the crowd.
16
So in this video, I'll give you 10 advanced phrasal verbs in the context of work.
17

18
Oh, and as a bonus, if you download the PDF, You can review all of these,
19
but also get a story of these phrasal verbs in the context of study, schools and teachers.
20
The truth is these phrasal verbs are really flexible and I think can be used for many different topics.
21
Sounds good?
22
Are you ready?
23
Let's jump in.
24
Okay, phrasal verb number one, to drum into.
25
Okay, now a drum is this.
26
Right now.
27
To drum something into someone is to Teach something again and again persistently until They remember it.
28
It's a bit like the idea of drumming.
29
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
30
You completely, continually drum the information.
31
You beat the information into somebody.
32
Right.
33
For example, our boss always drums the importance of deadlines into our team.
34
but we still miss them.
35
Great.
36
Number two.
37
Number two, to stir up.
38
To stir, well, to stir Is this...
39
I can stir my tea.
40
But to stir up is to cause a problem to grow.
41
For example, my colleague Jim likes to stir things up in meetings.
42
Often he says things that he knows people will disagree with.
43
Hmm.
44
Number three, to settle down.
45
To settle down means to become calmer or to calm down.
46
Like, It's been busy at work, but things are settling down now.
47
There's a similar phrasal verb, which is to settle in, but with a different meaning.
48
To settle in means to get used to a new place.
49
For example, if you start a new job, your boss might say, "Oh, today's your first day.
50
How are you settling in?" I'm settling in very well, thank you.
51
Next.
52
Number four, to crack up.
53
To crack someone up means to, well, to make someone laugh uncontrollably.
54
Or to crack up, if I crack up, I laugh uncontrollably a lot uncontrollably.
55
For example, my boss is so funny he cracks me up.
56
Be a bit careful because to crack up, I crack up, can have two meanings.
57
It can be to laugh or to break down, like an emotional breakdown.
58
So be careful if your boss cracks up.
59
It may be that they're laughing, but it may be that they are stressed and emotionally breaking down.
60
Two very different things.
61
How do you know?
62
The context.
63
Look at the context and you know.
64
for somebody at work, if they're sick and they're off, maybe you stand in for them.
65
For example, Jack is off work today, so I am standing in for him.
66
Great.
67
Listen, if you're enjoying and finding this useful, do remember to subscribe and like the video.
68
Let's go in now to number six.
69
Number six is to fend for yourself. to fend for yourself.
70
The for becomes for, to fend for yourself, to fend for myself.
71
I fend for myself.
72
And it means to take care of yourself.
73
Do you know, when I was a teenager and I lived at home, my mum used to do the cooking, do the washing, do the tidying.
74
When I went to university, suddenly I had to fend for myself.
75
Another example, after I became a freelancer, I had to fend for myself, finding clients, negotiating contracts and so on.
76
Another expression, an idiom that is similar in meaning, is to stand on your own two feet.
77
When I went to university, I had to stand on my own two feet.
78
Nice expression.
79
Next, to delve into.
80
And often here we link to delvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv For example, I know these reports are really important, so I will delve into them as soon as I can.
81
You could also say, "I've got a new book.
82
I can't wait to delve into my new book." Let's move on.
83
Oh, another phrasal verb.
84
Okay, number eight, to dive into.
85
Again, that /v / sound, to dive into.
86
To dive is this right?
87
If you like swimming, you might dive into the water.
88
But idiomatically, it can also mean to start doing something with lots of energy.
89
For example, similar to the last one, I've got a new book, I'm going to dive into this book straight after the I've recorded this video.
90
Or after the meeting, we immediately dived into developing the strategy for the upcoming campaign.
91
Great, if you're in marketing.
92
Next.
93
Okay, number nine, to reckon on.
94
Now you may know the verb to reckon.
95
I reckon, you reckon, meaning I think, right?
96
I reckon it's a good idea.
97
I think it's a good idea.
98
But to reckon on something means that you feel something is likely to happen.
99
And so you make plans depending on that.
100
For example, right, we're having a party after the meeting and we are reckoning on about 50 people coming.
101
So make sure there are enough snacks.
102
You could use it in the negative as well, like, well, we didn't reckon on this product being so popular.
103
We need to produce more.
104
This is a tricky one to learn.
105
It can be used in different contexts.
106
So try and expose yourself as much as possible to different contexts.
107
Remember, at the end of this, there's a PDF, and there's a story about study and school, which will give you new contexts as well.
108
Let's move on to the last one, number 10, which I hope doesn't happen.
109
You'll find out why in a minute.
110
Number 10 is to drift off, to drift off.
111
To drift is just when something moves slowly, like if it's a leaf on the water is drifting,
112
something being moved by the water or the air is drifting.
113
To drift off means to fall asleep.
114
but not usually on purpose.
115
I mean, not intentionally.
116
So to drift off maybe when something is really boring, then you might drift off.
117
For example, the meeting was so boring.
118
I began to drift off.
119
or I drifted off.
120
That's why I hope in this video you haven't drifted off.
121
I hope it's been useful
122
and you've found out lots of new phrases you can start practicing
123
but also listening for so you can understand native speakers and proficient speakers a lot better.
124
Now don't leave me just yet because I'm about to tell you a story in the context of work, using all of these phrasal verbs.
125
Okay, let's see how much you have picked up.
126
to learn informally.
127
The story is called Sophie's Big Break.
128
- If you're sitting comfortably, let's begin.
129
Sophie's big break.
130
Sophie had just started a new job at a marketing company.
131
She was nervous, but excited.
132
On her second day, her manager asked her to stand in for Tim, who was on vacation.
133
Sophie wasn't sure if she could handle the responsibility.
134
But she accepted.
135
At first, it was difficult to manage all of Tim's tasks, but after a few days, things began to settle down.
136
The office was busy, but she learned how to keep things under control.
137
Her colleagues were very supportive and they helped her when she felt overwhelmed.
138
One day, during a team meeting,
139
somebody told a funny story about a client and everybody started to crack up.
140
Sophie laughed so hard that she almost cried.
141
It was nice to see the team having fun together, even when work was stressful.
142
After the meeting, the team had to dive into a new project.
143
Sophie felt a bit lost at first and quickly realized that there was a lot of data to go through
144
So she actually needed to work overtime to delve into the reports so she could understand everything.
145
As the project deadline approached, Sophie had to work long hours.
146
and sometimes she would drift off at her desk.
147
She was so tired.
148
It wasn't easy fending for herself.
149
Now Tim wasn't there to help her.
150
It was challenging but she managed to get everything done on time.
151
However, the project had stirred up some confusion among the clients and Sophie had to explain things again and again.
152
Her manager was very patient and kept repeating the same instructions to Sophie and the team.
153
I need to drum this into you, he said.
154
With every new project, we must follow the operating procedures and brand guidelines.
155
Otherwise, clients get confused.
156
he said.
157
Sophie listened carefully and made sure to follow every detail.
158
At the end of two weeks, Tom hadn't come back to work.
159
He had decided to go and work for himself as a ski instructor.
160
Great.
161
Sophie was quickly promoted, no surprise, and took over his job, as she had done such a good job during his absence.
162
And that was Sophie's.
163
Big break.
164
Big break, there's a big opportunity, right?
165
The promotion and everything else.
166
Did you understand the story?
167
Did you catch all of those phrasal verbs?
168
Oh, did you notice which phrasal verb was not in the story?
169
Let me know in the comments below.
170
Now, here's a bonus learning strategy for you, right?
171
The reason I share this story with you is quite simple.
172
When you learn new vocabulary, in order to learn it deeply, you have to see it in several contexts.
173
It's not enough to watch a YouTube video with one example.
174
That's not learning really.
175
A great way to give the context is stories.
176
And that's why in my online courses like the Gold Course and the Vocabulary Vault,
177
I use stories a lot to give the context to help students like you understand more deeply.
178
But I understand not everybody can get a course or an online course.
179
So here's something extra for you.
180
If you download the PDF of all these 10 phrasal verbs, you'll also get the story of Sophie's Big Break.
181
But as an extra bonus, you'll get another story using the phrasal verbs in the context of study, school and teachers.
182
I hope that can help you on your learning journey to become a confident speaker of English.
183
the next video.
184
Take care, my friend.
185
Keep studying.
186
All the best.
187
Bye bye.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
