1
Do you
2
have a hankering for coffee?
3
A hankering is a strong desire for something.
4
And I have to say,
5
every time I hear Sabrina Carpenter's hit song,
6
I suddenly want a strong cup of joe.
7
So we'll learn a lot more advanced English expressions,
8
like the ones you've seen so far highlighted in blue,
9
with a short interview where Sabrina talks about her hit song.
10
If you want to remember these new words forever and confidently use them in your next conversation,
11
I recommend
12
that you watch this lesson on the real life app where you get tools like a vocabulary flashcards

15
There's just a sign that says espresso and I'm like,
16
yes Nothing to do with me You're a monster
17
You're literally walking around every single cafe now just like that's that me espresso No,
18
I don't do that
19
But I do have to question ordering it a lot now like I'm just like have you had moments in
20
that like where the barista is just like I can't wait.
21
They're just like waiting for me to say it and I'm like you must Tea.
22
Can I see your herbal tea menu please?
23
Oh f***ing brilliant, I love it.
24
It's so good.
25
You think about that and you're like,
26
why don't I write songs like a billion dollars?
27
Like manifest that?
28
Yeah.
29
Alright, before we get into that funny interview,
30
let's go back to Sabrina's hit song Espresso and learn some advanced expressions.
31
I guess so is like probably or I suppose.
32
Use it when you're unsure or unenthusiastic about something.
33
Imagine a friend asks you, was the movie good?
34
And you thought it was just okay,
35
you might say, I guess so.
36
Listen to this other example.
37
To switch something up means to do something differently from how you've been doing it.
38
Think about how Beyonce constantly switches it up.
39
One album, she's doing country, next she's doing disco.
40
She never lets things get boring.
41
It's also play on words with a Nintendo Switch console.
42
Finally, this song is great for understanding fast English and practicing speaking more naturally,
43
because Sabrina uses a ton of connected speech.
44
That's how we natives cut,
45
reduce, and link our words together when speaking fluently.
46
Listen to how she says the main line of the song.
47
You'd expect her to say it like,
48
that's that, with full T's, right?
49
But that's not what we hear.
50
In that's, the second T disappears altogether.
51
This sometimes happens with TS combinations like in these examples.
52
What's her deal?
53
What's her deal?
54
It's about time.
55
It's about time.
56
Let's have a coffee.
57
Let's have a coffee.
58
Notice that the S sound often links to the next word too.
59
And in that, the second T is cut off at the back of the throat.
60
This is a glottal T.
61
It sounds like when a kid makes a mistake and says, uh-oh, uh-oh.
62
So she says, that's that me espresso.
63
That's that me espresso.
64
Try singing it with Sabrina.
65
You can't see but you know unless that means the soul.
66
Unless that means the soul.
67
So moving into the interview,
68
Sabrina starts talking about a hilarious problem she created for herself.
69
It's what's so crazy, like this is the part of me that feels like an idiot.
70
Every time I see like a cafe,
71
there's just a sign that says espresso and I'm like, yes!
72
Like nothing to do with me.
73
Wow, did you notice how many times Sabrina used the word like in that sentence?
74
This is something you'll hear constantly from native speakers, especially in casual conversation.
75
Like has three jobs here.
76
First, it works as a filler word,
77
a sound people use when thinking.
78
The same way you might go,
79
um, or uh, it gives you a second while your brain catches up to your mouth.
80
Justin Bieber is famous for overusing like in this way.
81
Well, yeah, it's kind of like my story and kind of like,
82
like, like, proves that, like,
83
but, like, here, and like,
84
cause like, when, like, like,
85
like, like, like, like, like,
86
cause like, and like, plus this, like, this, this.
87
Second, it can be used for comparison.
88
I feel like an idiot.
89
Third, it works as a way to introduce what someone said or thought.
90
That's why she says, I'm like,
91
yes, instead of, I thought, yes.
92
It's more casual and expressive.
93
You'll see all uses all over this interview.
94
So keep an eye out for them.
95
Every time I see like a cafe,
96
there's just a sign that says espresso and I'm like,
97
yes, like, nothing to do with me.
98
And continuing on, she says an espresso sign outside a cafe has nothing to do with her.
99
When someone says something has nothing to do with someone,
100
it means that there's no connection between that thing and that person.
101
It's just a coincidence.
102
Check out these examples.
103
This is a letter of resignation.
104
Yep.
105
It has nothing to do with you and Ethan.
106
Here.
107
I'm done.
108
It has nothing to do with you personally.
109
I find you extraordinarily professional.
110
Also notice how Sabrina says this.
111
Nothing to do with me?
112
Nothing to do with me?
113
The two reduces.
114
Tuh.
115
But also, the T morphs to a tap T,
116
which sounds like a soft D.
117
Like in butter.
118
Butter.
119
So it becomes, Nothing to do with me.
120
Nothing to do with me.
121
Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice,
122
so listen to that again and try to say it just like Sabrina.
123
Nothing to do with me?
124
Nothing to do with me?
125
Then Zane playfully insults Sabrina.
126
You're a monster.
127
You're literally walking around every single cafe now just like,
128
That's that mi espresso.
129
It sounds pretty harsh, right?
130
But he's just teasing her that she's showing off the success of her song at every cafe she sees.
131
Think about how people talk about Lionel Messi.
132
He's a monster on the field.
133
It's not an insult, we'd say this because we're so impressed with his skills.
134
And there were two other great expressions for you to learn here.
135
You're a monster.
136
You're literally walking around every single cafe now just like,
137
that's that mi espresso.
138
In first, literally.
139
Informal English literally means that something actually happened in real life, not figuratively.
140
But in everyday speech, especially among younger speakers,
141
it's used as an intensifier.
142
It adds drama or emphasis.
143
Check out these examples.
144
And second, every single something.
145
Literally walking around every single cafe now just like that's that mi espresso
146
Adding single after every is a way to stress that there are zero exceptions Every cafe not one left out.
147
I could say I've watched every single episode of Seinfeld at least three times It means
148
that there isn't any episode I've watched less than that
149
or she meditates every single day means this habit is very important to her She never misses a day
150
and we make it easy for you to learn English every single day so you can be successful.
151
And by the way, are you like me and you forget new expressions just a few minutes after learning them?
152
That's why it's so important that you review the new expressions that you're learning today.
153
I know this not only from my own experience learning six languages,
154
but also because we've taught millions of English learners like you.
155
We've created the perfect solution.
156
A set of flashcards for this lesson that is available for free on our app.
157
These will help you remember the new words from this lesson forever.
158
The reason this works is that we put the science and right technology behind it.
159
Basically, the app knows the exact expressions you've learned from all lessons,
160
and just when you're about to forget one,
161
we bring it back for you to practice.
162
You only need 10 to 15 minutes daily for more natural English speaking.
163

166
Now Sabrina says that she doesn't sing her hit song outside cafes,
167
but it has made her more self-conscious.
168
No, I don't do that.
169
But I do have to question ordering it a lot now.
170
When you question something, you start to wonder whether it's a good idea.
171
You're not as sure as you used to be.
172
Sabrina used to love ordering espressos, but now she hesitates.
173
Of course, she's probably just joking here.
174
A great real life example.
175
When Netflix raised its prices and added ads,
176
a lot of people start questioning whether a subscription was still worth it.
177
They hadn't canceled yet they were just questioning it.
178
Then we hear an interesting job title.
179
Like I'm just like- Oh,
180
have you had moments in that like where the barista is just like,
181
I can't- They're just like waiting for me to say it.
182
And I'm like, you must- Tea.
183
No, a barista is the person who works at a coffee shop and makes your drinks,
184
like espressos, cappuccinos, and even teas.
185
This word actually comes from Italian.
186
And then Zane playfully says this.
187
Can I see your herbal tea menu, please?
188
Herbal tea is a hot drink made by steeping flowers,
189
leaves or herbs like chamomile,
190
peppermint, or ginger in hot water.
191
Unlike regular tea, it doesn't contain any caffeine.
192
It's pretty hilarious to think about a barista getting excited that Sabrina Carpenter is going to say espresso,
193
only for her to ask what non-caffeinated teas they have.
194
By the way, you might have noticed Zane said the H here,
195
but an American like me would drop the H.
196
Herbal.
197
Can I see your herbal tea menu please?
198
And let's hear a great bit of British slang.
199
Oh, f***ing brilliant, I love it.
200
It's so good.
201
So here, this means excellent.
202
It's a common way to show enthusiasm.
203
Just like how Ron Weasley says bloody brilliant here.
204
That was bloody brilliant.
205
Now, this whole conversation makes Sabrina wish she'd written a song called A Billion Dollars,
206
so that she could manifest money instead of coffee.
207
You think about that and you're like,
208
why don't I write songs like a billion dollars?
209
Manifest that?
210
Yeah.
211
What do you think manifest means?
212
To work extremely hard towards a goal?
213
To complain about something you don't have?
214
To make something real through belief and intention?
215
Right, this comes from the idea that if you focus your energy on a goal and act as if it's already happening,
216
you attract it into your life.
217
Oprah famously has said she manifested her success.
218
She clearly visualized it before it was real.
219
Alright, let's see Sabrina's final thoughts on the difficulty of ordering coffee now.
220
By the way, that was just not running through my head when I made espresso.
221
When something is running through your head,
222
it means a thought, idea,
223
song, or memory keeps repeating in your mind.
224
You can't stop thinking about it.
225
So Sabrina is saying the idea of visiting cafes being a challenge never crossed her mind while she was writing espresso.
226
Funny enough, espresso is probably running through your head right now.
227
Let's see Zane's response again.
228
And that's on you because now you can't go buy espressos anywhere without somebody going,
229
that's that me espresso.
230
That's on you means that you're responsible for something.
231
It's your fault or your problem to deal with.
232
If you convinced your friends to watch a terrible movie and they hated it, that's on you.
233
Zen is joking that Sabrina has no one to blame but herself.
234
Check out this example.
235
What if somebody had died tonight?
236
Different story, right?
237
Because that's on you.
238
And if you died, I feel like that's on me.
239
Let's wrap up with a final, useful, advanced word.
240
Yeah, or just thinking that I'm like conceited.
241
So what do you think conceited means?
242
Believing you are inferior to other people,
243
believing you're better than everyone else, talented but hardworking.
244
That's right, someone who's conceited has an inflated opinion of themself.
245
Sabrina's probably concerned that if she orders an espresso at a cafe,
246
people will assume she's doing it to show off,
247
to brag about the success of her music.
248
And by the way, we say this with that tap tea.
249
Conceited.
250
Conceited.
251
Not conceited.
252
Say it with Sabrina.
253
Yeah, or just thinking that I'm like conceited.
254
Conceited.
255
Awesome work.
256
But you're not done yet.
257
The most important part is your test.
258
You'll watch all the clips again without subtitles to test your comprehension after all the studying.
259
And I'll ask some quiz questions to make it a bit more challenging.
260
Now he's thinking about me every night old Isn't that sweet,
261
I feel so See you can't sleep,
262
baby I know Is that me,
263
I feel so Know that I'm down after I know Sabrina changed her style completely for her new album.
264
She really knows how to s- She really knows how to switch it up.
265
She can't sleep, but I know that's that mi espresso.
266
I didn't invent espresso.
267
The song is not about me.
268
The Italians are so mad.
269
My espresso.
270
You don't own espresso.
271
It's what's so crazy.
272
Like, this is the part of me that feels like an idiot.
273
Every time I see, like,
274
a cafe, there's just a sign that says espresso.
275
And I'm like, yes.
276
Like, nothing to do with me.
277
You're a monster.
278
I know I'm a monster.
279
You're literally walking around every single cafe now just like,
280
that's that mi espresso.
281
It's, no, I don't do that.
282
But I do have to question ordering it a lot now.
283
Like, I'm just like...
284
Oh, have you had moments where the barista's just like, I can't...
285
They're just like waiting for me to say it.
286
And I'm like, tea.
287
Can I see your herbal tea menu, please?
288
Oh, really, I love it.
289
It's so good.
290
You think about that and you're like,
291
why don't I write songs like a billion dollars?
292
Manifest that?
293
Yeah, by the way, that was just not running through my head when I made espresso.
294
Your roommate borrowed your car without asking,
295
and now it has a scratch on it.
296
You'd say, that's on me,
297
that's on you, that has nothing to do with you.
298
And that's on you because now you can't go buy espressos anywhere without somebody going,
299
that's that me espresso.
300
Yeah, or just thinking that I'm like conceited.
301
Match each expression on the left with its meaning on the right.
302
I don't
303
know, it's such a weird...
304
Nah, no one thought that.
305
How did that go?
306
It's okay if you didn't remember everything.
307
Our human memory just isn't that great.
308
And that's exactly why the flashcards on the RealLife app feel like magic.
309
for free with this lesson with the link in the description.

322
when i was working with the creative team coming up with the ideas they kind of pitched this umbrella thing
323
and i and and as we were rehearsing it got crazier
324
and crazier and then the rain machine came in and then i was like I want to wear fishnets and do this.
325
And I want a wig and a quick change and stuff.
326
What were your brothers saying?
327
Well, my dad, when I told my dad,
328
he was like, son, I don't think that's a good idea.
329
I don't think you should do that.

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.
