Hello, my favorite English language learners.
2
It is your favorite English teacher here, Amy Joy.
3
And many of you really enjoyed one of my other videos on 40 words about the economy.
4
So today I am back with more.
5
And in this video, you will learn 20 advanced words to talk about finance and banking in the United States.
6
So let's go ahead and get started.
7
And our first word is asset.
8
This is a noun and it refers to anything valuable that you own.
9
It could be houses, jewelry,
10
land, cars, etc. And in a sentence we can say,
11
after my father died, I inherited all his assets,
12
including his home, cars, and stocks.
13
So I received everything valuable that he owned.
14
Two, net worth.
15
This is a great collocation that refers to the value of all of your assets combined minus any money that you owe.
16
And obviously we want to grow our net worth.
17
And this can be done in many ways.
18
For example, investing, saving, budgeting, and planning for retirement.
19
And in a sentence we can say,
20
by paying off my debts,
21
saving diligently, and investing in the stock market,
22
I increased my net worth 10% this year.
23
Which leads me to word number three,
24
to invest or the noun form investment.
25
Now notice the preposition that collocates with this word.
26
We use invest plus the preposition in.
27
We say to invest in something.
28
And this means to put money into assets like stocks
29
or real estate with the expectation of making more money or earning a profit.
30
And usually we invest in the stock market.
31
And the stock market is a place where shares or little pieces of a public company are bought and sold.
32
So we can see these words in this sentence,
33
which says, every morning, Jeff checks the stock market to see how his investments are performing.
34
And word number five, share.
35
You probably know this word as a verb,
36
but in finance, this is actually used as a noun.
37
So we can say a share.
38
And this refers to a piece of a company that you buy and own.
39
And when you buy shares of a company,
40
you become a part owner of that company.
41
And this is where we get the word shareholders.
42
And this refers to people who have invested in or bought shares of a company.
43
For example, when the company released a successful new product,
44
the value of each share increased,
45
benefiting all of the shareholders.
46
Now, in addition to investing in the stock market,
47
we also invest in real estate.
48
And real estate refers to property,
49
including the land and buildings on it.
50
And some common collocations with real estate are real estate agent,
51
or the person who helps you buy and sell real estate,
52
the real estate market, which refers to all of the real estate being bought and sold and real estate portfolio.
53
This is simply a collection of all of the real estate that you own.
54
So in a sentence,
55
we can say Sarah is an experienced real estate agent who knows a lot about the real estate market
56
and she helps people create a real estate portfolio with different kinds of properties like houses and buildings.
57
Now, in order to buy real estate,
58
you often need to take out a loan and a loan is money
59
that you borrow or take with an agreement to repay it.
60
And word number eight, mortgage is a specific type of loan that helps you pay for a house or other real estate.
61
And notice the collocation that we use.
62
We often say take out a loan or mortgage.
63
And word number nine is interest.
64
This is simply extra money that you pay when borrowing money,
65
but the amount of interest that you pay will depend on the interest rate.
66
And this is the percentage that is charged on a loan or mortgage.
67
So for example, if you take out a loan for a hundred dollars and the interest rate is 10%,
68
you're going to pay the original hundred dollars plus 10% of that.
69
So in total you will pay $110.
70
So in a sentence, we can say,
71
When they took out a mortgage to buy their new house,
72
they saved a lot of money by getting a low interest rate.
73
Okay.
74
And before we move on to the topic of banking,
75
I want to remind you if you are studying for the TOEFL,
76
the IELTS, or just want to expand your advanced English vocabulary,
77
then you might be interested in my ebook 75 advanced C1 C2 level words.

83
Okay.
84
Let's move on to the topic of banking in the United States.
85
When opening a bank account in the United States,
86
you will often be asked to open two different accounts,
87
a savings account and a checking account.
88
And these two accounts are a little bit different.
89
A savings account is a bank account whose purpose is to save money and earn interest.
90
We usually don't take money out of this account except for when we make large transfers to other accounts.
91
And your checking account is the bank account that you use for making everyday purchases.
92
And word number 13 is to deposit.
93
This means to put money into a bank account.
94
It can also be used as a noun,
95
a deposit, and you can also use the collocation to make a deposit.
96
I need to go to the bank to make a deposit.
97
And oppositely, number 14 is to withdraw.
98
This means to take money out of a bank account.
99
The noun form is withdrawal,
100
and again, you can use the collocation to make a withdrawal.
101
So in an example, we can say,
102
I deposited my paycheck into my checking account for daily expenses and transferred some into my savings account for future savings.
103
Now, be careful when you are withdrawing money from your bank account that you don't overdraft.
104
This means to withdraw money or take more money out than you have in your account.
105
And if you do this,
106
sometimes you will be charged an overdraft fee,
107
which is an extra charge for taking too much money out of your account.
108
So in an example, we can say,
109
I accidentally withdrew too much money from my checking account and the bank charged me an overdraft fee of $50.
110
Now when opening a new bank account,
111
you will often also receive two different cards,
112
a credit card and a debit card.
113
And a credit card is a little plastic card that lets you buy things now,
114
but pay for them later.
115
Now if you don't pay the full amount that you owe by the deadline,
116
you will be charged interest.
117
But a debit card allows you to pay for things by directly taking money out of your bank account.
118
Now some people prefer using debit cards because they will not spend more money than is in their bank account.
119
However, others prefer credit cards because they often get points and rewards for using them.
120
And word number 18 is transaction.
121
This is any financial activity that involves the transfer of money,
122
such as purchasing something or transferring money between bank accounts.
123
For example, last month my credit card bill was higher than I expected,
124
so I had to review every transaction to find out why.
125
And word number 19, exchange rate.
126
This means how much one country's money or currency is worth in another country's money or currency.
127
And word number 20, budget.
128
This can be used as a noun or a verb to budget,
129
and it is a plan that shows how much money you expect to receive
130
and how you plan to spend it over a certain period of time.
131
And you can see these two words in this sentence.
132
When we traveled to Morocco,
133
the exchange rate was 10 dirm for one dollar.
134
This made traveling cheaper and allowed us to increase our budget.
135
Now I know we just covered a lot of words,
136
so in order to help a few of them stick,
137
I I want you to choose two words that were new for you
138
and use them in a sentence in the comments below.
139
It's really important that when watching my videos,
140
you not only listen to the words and understand what they mean,
141
but that you put them into practice so you can use them too.
142
Thank you so much for watching this video.
143
I hope you learned something new.

147

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, imparerai un vocabolario avanzato legato alla finanza e alla banca. Attraverso questo esercizio, ti concentrerai su importanti termini e frasi che ti aiuteranno a comunicare in modo più efficace in situazioni relative al denaro e agli investimenti. Questa pratica non solo arricchirà il tuo lessico, ma migliorerà anche la tua fluidità nell'inglese, grazie all'utilizzo di tecniche di shadowing in inglese che ti permetteranno di acquisire sicurezza nella pronuncia e nell'intonazione.

Vocabolario e frasi chiave

  • Assets: beni, qualsiasi cosa di valore che possiedi, come case, gioielli o auto.
  • Net worth: patrimonio netto, il valore totale dei tuoi beni dopo aver sottratto eventuali debiti.
  • Invest: investire, il processo di immettere denaro in beni sperando di ottenere un profitto.
  • Investment: investimento, la somma di denaro messa in un asset per aumentarne il valore.
  • Share: azione, una parte di proprietà in una società che puoi acquistare.
  • Real estate: proprietà immobiliare, inclusi terreni e edifici.

Consigli per la pratica

Per massimizzare i benefici di questa lezione, ti consiglio di utilizzare una tecnica di shadowing, chiamata anche shadowspeak, dove ripeti immediatamente ciò che ascolti nel video. Questo esercizio è particolarmente efficace a patto di seguire il ritmo e il tono di insegnamento di Amy. Inizia riproducendo il video a una velocità normale e ascolta attentamente la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Poi, prova a ripetere le frasi, cercando di imitare esattamente la cadenza dell'istruttrice.

Se hai bisogno di un approccio meno veloce, puoi rallentare il video. Quando ti senti più sicuro, ritorna alla velocità normale e continua a praticare. Ricorda che l'obiettivo è non solo imparare nuovi termini, ma anche sentirti a tuo agio parlando di argomenti complessi come la finanza. Investire tempo in questa forma di pratica ti aiuterà a imparare l'inglese con YouTube in modo efficace e divertente.

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.
