Are you ready to immerse yourself in English today?

Today, I'm here with my husband, Dan.

Hello.

And you are invited to our American English kitchen where we're going to be prepping some food for a school function today.

And we're going to be chatting about a topic that is slightly controversial, but is going to help expand your English,

grow your vocabulary, and help you to enjoy the English learning process.

So are you ready?

I'm ready.

Let's do it.

And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet that you see here over Dan's face.

It includes all of today's vocabulary that will appear on the screen that we are about to naturally use in this conversation.

And it's going to include a special bonus.

This is going to help you understand fast English conversations.

It is the audio version of today's entire lesson.

This is a great way to test your listening skills.

Can you understand us without seeing us?

Just listening to the audio as you're walking your dog, doing the dishes, whatever you're doing, that way you can really try to understand fast English.

To get this PDF plus bonus listening version, all you need to do is click on the link in the description, enter your name and email address, and voila, just like that,

it will land in your email inbox.

This is my gift, our gift to you.

All right, Dan, are you ready to get chopping?

I'm ready, I guess.

Okay.

So I want to let you know that this topic came up because I wanted to make this conversation with Dan.

Yeah, I'm a little scared, honestly.

And I said, how about we do it while we're preparing the fruit for the school function?

And what did you say?

I said, I don't know if I can do two things at once, talk and chop. Because?

Because I'm a man.

So enter our conversation topic for today while we are chopping and putting together these...

Preparing, planning, talking, a conversation, the camera.

I can't do these things.

This is four things all at once.

It's a good test.

So our topic today is men versus women.

Oh, versus.

Yes.

Who is better at certain things?

We do have knives.

It's good.

But that's for the food.

So while, before we talk about this topic, let's just, I need some skewers, because I'm gonna make some fruit skewers.

We're making fruit skewers.

I need a lot.

Oh.

Here's one skewer for you.

I'm gonna need like a whole pile right here.

Lots of skewers.

Alright, I'm just gonna put stuff on them.

Do you have any rhyme or reason to how you want it?

Uh, well, I was gonna make half all fruits and half fruit and cheese.

Okay teenagers by the way okay

so um all right there's gonna be stuffing food in their

mouth tons of grapes tons of cantaloupe yeah tons of pineapple

i need to chop the strawberries still a bunch of strawberries everything's washed

and i need to chop the cheese okay chop the cheese i'm gonna just do the fruit skewers first okay

and it will be the easiest thing for me to do

while i'm i'm going to cut the oranges

which will be the easiest thing for you to do at the moment

and i'm gonna have to really focus really focus our first thank god the pineapple is pre-cut

okay i have four true or false statements about men

or women and then we have a lightning round one two three four five things

that we're gonna say who is better at blank

and we're gonna say it As in men or women or you or me.

Yes, men or women.

This is all stereotypes.

By the way, this is all averages. Who knows?

We're just making this up off the cuff.

Well, let us know in the comments.

It's not scientific fact.

If you agree or not.

Okay.

Statement number one.

I'm going to try to do something at the same time as you're talking to me.

Statement number one.

Men are better at driving.

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

Okay.

Why?

I can contest this, but why do you think so?

Well, okay.

Most men are better at driving.

Okay.

Well, why?

Because men on average have better spatial awareness.

Oh.

As far as like directions go.

Okay.

Also, men are like a little more like less likely to...

Man, I'm actually struggling to cut this and think.

That's our question number two.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're like less likely to panic under pressure.

Oh, okay.

So like, you know, you're driving, there's cars all around you.

I think in general, a man is less likely to freak out in that situation.

Okay.

100

Certainly I'm a little biased because my dad was the driver in my house

101

and I watched my mom drive and my mom was always like, just panicking all the time.

102

Okay, well, it's all of these answers for us are based on our personal experience.

103

Yeah.

104

So please take it with a grain of salt, whatever we say.

105

Yes. Of course.

106

I'm going to say, in general,

107

men are better drivers, but there's a caveat because I know some stats about this.

108

Oh, you can't bring in stats.

109

Okay, so what I heard, now someone out there might contest this, but- Oh, these lives are not good.

110

Yeah.

111

Oh, fresh.

112

So what I heard is that if we're going by car accident data,

113

men get into more fatal car accidents because they're doing dumb stuff like driving too fast.

114

Yeah.

115

I wanted to take out like teenage men from this equation.

116

We're talking about the whole spectrum here.

117

So men get into more fatal car accidents, but women get into more fender benders because In general, the idea was that women,

118

if women are, if it is true, and I think it is still, are the ones who are caretaking for children.

119

Oh, you're blaming the kids, are you?

120

Have you ever tried to drive with three kids in the car?

121

Yes.

122

And it's hard.

123

There's always someone talking, look at this, I want this.

124

What are you doing?

125

Why are you hitting me?

126

What's going on?

127

There's so much distraction going on.

128

Yeah, I have a superpower called ignore them.

129

So for me to ignore the kids in the car is really hard.

130

So I'm more likely to be distracted, I think.

131

So that's why women get into little fender benders, in my opinion.

132

But if it is just between me and you, you are the better driver.

133

Oh, okay.

134

Thank you.

135

I think you have a good sense of being aware of what's going on around you on the road.

136

despite what's going in your ears.

137

I can't listen to music or a podcast or the kids or a conversation and be a really good driver.

138

I can drive, but I can't be a really good driver because I'm like,

139

my ears are busy listening, comprehending, taking it in.

140

That's so beautiful.

141

Yeah.

142

Do you see these?

143

Wow.

144

And if given the choice, when we drive, you drive and I'm in the passenger seat.

145

It's not a passive job to be in the passenger seat with kids.

146

If you have kids, you know.

147

Yeah.

148

It actually drives me insane to be in the passenger seat while she's driving.

149

Not because she's a bad driver, but because there might be an expression that you've heard of, I'm a backseat driver.

150

Backseat driver?

151

Yes.

152

Yeah.

153

Even though you're not in the backseat.

154

And that just means that I'll notice things on the road and I'll have trouble not pointing it out to her.

155

Watch out.

156

Look over there.

157

Oh, he's emerging.

158

Give them some more space.

159

I think every woman who has driven with a man has dealt with this situation before.

160

Yeah.

161

And it depends.

162

I mean, on a long road trip, I'll tone it down a bit because I'll just be tired or need to take a nap or whatever.

163

Yeah, but when you're in the passenger seat and there's kids in the back.

164

But then there's no break.

165

Yeah, when there's kids in the back.

166

You're caring for the kids.

167

You're passing them snacks.

168

You're passing them a book.

169

You're trying to help them.

170

I'd much rather drive.

171

Yeah, I think, yeah, in general, I think we probably agree on that.

172

I also think men probably just like driving more on average.

173

Yeah.

174

Well, let us know in the comments if you agree.

175

All right.

176

Statement number two, true or false, women are better at- I'm just kidding.

177

Women are better at- I'm okay. At multitasking.

178

Oh yeah, definitely.

179

All these stereotypes are going to be true, aren't they?

180

Well, we'll see.

181

All right, let me think.

182

Multitasking, yeah, I mean, it's very stereotypical.

183

Is it because you can't think of a job?

184

See, now I got, yeah, I finished my...

185

Same time.

186

This is for a special tropical fruit punch.

187

Oh.

188

What was I thinking about again?

189

Multitasking. Can you...

190

No, well, I'm particularly not a very good multitasker.

191

So that doesn't help my case.

192

Okay.

193

Yeah, I think, well, I've heard, I have not scientifically verified this,

194

that women have a little more like cross communication in their brain.

195

You ever heard of this?

196

Okay, I have not.

197

And they sense more on average?

198

sense like like actual senses like smell yeah i've heard

199

that i've heard

200

that that's also why for example there's more going on like

201

all the time in a woman's brain i get more over

202

stimulated easily than you do my hands yes please wash your hands

203

and i move from that spot yeah i get more over stimulated than you do

204

and this might be like a personal preference difference thing

205

but for example when there's music on like when i'm driving

206

or just when there's music on it's hard for me to also have a conversation

207

because there's like two auditory things happening maybe that's just me i'm the same though okay

208

but when it comes to like child care there's a lot of multitasking

209

that happens yeah what like that i think that's where the rubber meets the road, knowing like what every kid is doing at the moment, what I need to be doing,

210

what needs to be done next.

211

Like this is a lot of coordination.

212

I think it's sequential things like that or organizational type stuff.

213

This is person to person as well, I think.

214

But you know, I'm a teacher and that's one thing that I struggle with.

215

I'll forget some little details here or there about our schedule and I'll have to rely on my coworkers.

216

But it seems like the women, there's a lot of women teachers out there they usually know

217

that schedule like in more detail or they'll recall it okay easier okay

218

so maybe i think well i have to like write it on a sticky note

219

and put it on my glasses like right in front of my face is it a nature

220

or nurture skill though to multitask well am i just better at multitasking because all my life

221

I've been expected to juggle multiple things or like I don't think so

222

personally okay thanks for cutting these you're welcome do they make

223

them too small no I have some gigantic strawberries on there some kids gonna be really happy

224

and then some little wait does this relate this multitasking relate to like finding stuff in a refrigerator

225

or is that another question.

226

No. Or is that directions?

227

I did not add that because ...

228

Well, that's a good question though.

229

Let's add that at the end.

230

Okay.

231

Teaser.

232

Okay.

233

The next one is men are more competitive.

234

Yeah, absolutely.

235

Okay.

236

I agree.

237

I think men are more competitive, but why do you think that is- I feel like that's one of the main differences.

238

Okay.

239

Why do you think men are more competitive?

240

Because men compete with each other more often.

241

Yeah, but they compete more often because they want to.

242

Well, they want to compete.

243

So what's the leg?

244

They have to compete.

245

The base.

246

Because they got to impress the ladies, you know what I'm saying?

247

Oh.

248

So you got like all the male birds trying to ruffle their feathers and make the female birds look at them.

249

Yeah.

250

Yeah.

251

Pretty much.

252

Okay.

253

But also like just by experience, you know, any game that I've ever played,

254

in general, men are going a little bit harder.

255

I'm thinking like board games, you know, or card games.

256

I've found more men to care in those circumstances.

257

I have an opinion about this.

258

So I think that this is my personal experience.

259

It might be different for other women,

260

but I think I am always aware of how other people are feeling or like perceiving the event.

261

I don't want to be, I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable.

262

Now, I am competitive in some situations.

263

I'm not the least competitive woman, but I think women want other people to stay happy

264

and be happy and be comfortable and not be too controversial or calling out someone.

265

We're more likely to agree with other people or agree with each other, pat each other on the back.

266

I believe in psychology it's even called agreeable.

267

agreeable yeah yeah i think in general women try to be more women maybe naturally are or

268

nature nurture whatever it is are more agreeable yeah um

269

that said i have met some very competitive women absolutely

270

and also like uh you know students that i teach at a middle school

271

well a elementary and middle school and some of those girls are very competitive Yeah, I think women can absolutely be...

272

Wow, this is quite the pineapple piece.

273

Women can definitely be competitive, but...

274

It's also different things.

275

I think as women post...

276

Women as adults, I would say like...

277

Oh, we're talking about adults.

278

...pretty, I think are different than like teenagers and children as adults.

279

Like we are women now.

280

We're not like ...

281

I feel like ...

282

We are women.

283

Yeah.

284

That's what I always wanted my husband to say.

285

But I feel like ...

286

I could do that nowadays.

287

I'm a woman.

288

There, I said it.

289

It's true.

290

Wow.

291

Well, thanks for coming clean.

292

I feel like adult women are more agreeable than adult men.

293

I think the ...

294

What can you say?

295

The litmus test- It's just the averages.

296

The least agreeable people I've ever met have been men.

297

That's, I think, the litmus test.

298

If you're thinking about a room of 15 people,

299

someone says something, who is the most likely person to disagree with that statement in a room of 15 people?

300

A man.

301

A woman probably has a lot of, or most likely has a lot of ideas, a lot of thoughts, a lot of opinions about it,

302

but the first person to speak up about it and show some negativity is most likely to be a man, in my opinion.

303

I think for me, one-on-one, I could be more less agreeable, approach someone, talk to someone.

304

You're pretty nice.

305

You're pretty nice, honey.

306

She's very nice.

307

Thank you.

308

I think ...

309

Well, we kind of got off topic.

310

Competitive is not mean.

311

Anyway, let's go to the next one.

312

See, now I'm getting into other little details.

313

How can I cut this thing in a in a different way.

314

So the next one is women are more organized.

315

Oh, we kind of talked about this a little bit.

316

Yeah, I think so. On average.

317

Well, it kind of goes back to the multitasking thing. But, I don't know.

318

I feel like this one could be 50-50.

319

Pretty easily.

320

okay and i i don't

321

and i'm just looking at my own personal life i have

322

a lot of students you know there's a lot of odd students at my school odd i hope

323

that they watch this and really love that you say that they're odd

324

they'd appreciate being called odd most of them okay uh and there's some pretty disorganized

325

gals i don't really think that one's gendered

326

that well think about not 12 year olds okay think about a 30 year old woman

327

and a 30 year old man yeah i guess usually it's

328

more likely for a woman to be more organized overall i

329

you just i don't know it could be social too like women tend to like organize the schedule

330

and who's coming over when

331

and life stuff like for me this is also personality i

332

have to go to work to get in an organized mindset like

333

when i'm at home i'm just like i'm at home

334

and then i go to work and i'm like all right now i'm getting in my laser focus

335

but this could just be me yeah well part of this thought for me was

336

statistically males you check the statistics again well this i think

337

this is a kind of a commonly known thing statistically males

338

are more likely to have adhd than women oh is

339

that right and interesting i felt like

340

that was common knowledge maybe it's not okay maybe i'm wrong internet check me out check it out

341

if it's right or not um but i think part of part of adhd is struggling with,

342

what's it called when you're trying to be- Executive function.

343

That's the word, executive function.

344

I've never looked this up before in my life.

345

People like Dan, who might or might not be- I've never been formally diagnosed.

346

Diagnosed with ADHD.

347

Excuse me.

348

I feel like this, the organized element of it, women- I'm moving on to cheese.

349

Okay, you're doing cheese.

350

Is that ADHD?

351

No, that's great.

352

Okay.

353

I feel like women are generally more organized.

354

It could be 50-50, but my gut says.

355

Certainly my experience.

356

I've met more organized women than men.

357

Yeah.

358

Yeah.

359

So how is it that men are more likely to be the CEO of a company?

360

Because you have to be really organized for that, right?

361

Well, a lot of that is assertiveness, too, though.

362

Oh, okay.

363

So maybe it's competitiveness?

364

Yeah, competitive.

365

I mean, guys can be really organized.

366

And like I said, I can even be organized if you put me in the right circumstance.

367

I just have to...

368

It's almost like I can be organized and focused on one thing.

369

ADHD.

370

But I'm more likely to miss the big picture or miss the other little details.

371

Yeah.

372

I think that's exactly what I was saying.

373

You can be really organized with one focus thing and maybe that's- Cheers.

374

Cue perfect timing.

375

Oh, I just ...

376

but I like the moment

377

that you say something it's almost like I have this you

378

know in the moment I say something is say anything me

379

the moment you say anything personally you know how in the movie a beautiful mind

380

or like in any kind of like uh criminal detective movie or tv show they have like a clear board.

381

It's a meme at this point.

382

All the math and all the things.

383

Immediately, 30 things come to my mind.

384

And I start organizing.

385

We have to do this first and this second and this second.

386

And I have to tone down that voice in my head and just like, okay, are we just chatting about this?

387

Or is it serious?

388

Because my brain already jumped to 30 steps ahead.

389

Yeah.

390

And sometimes that's good, but sometimes it's not.

391

I think it can be helpful for like getting stuff done, but it's not- Well, that's why you marry people like me.

392

Marry people like me.

393

Married a person like me.

394

Yeah.

395

I think it's not helpful for reflection.

396

So I'm trying to get better at reflection.

397

Anyway, that's my personal stuff.

398

It's not good for reflection, really?

399

Yeah, because I don't spend time.

400

I'm just organizing and doing and doing and organizing, and I'm not thinking.

401

This is for cheese.

402

That's for little cheese cubes.

403

I organize those plates.

404

I'm just going to throw the cheese on here for now.

405

Okay.

406

So now we have a little lightning round.

407

Are you ready?

408

ready okay the statement is who is better at

409

and i'm going to say the thing and then in three you are me

410

or is it just men and women we're going to say men

411

or women on three okay okay who is better at cutting

412

the cheese who's better at saving money three two one women i don't i have no idea

413

saving money yeah these are these ones are not so black and white

414

so some of these are they're less stereotypical well stereotypically i feel like women are the one who spend the money

415

yeah you're a you are a uniquely cheap person my dear

416

well it's not just saving money though like memes about ladies shopping and stuff yes but i think in reality women

417

because of the organization and the planning ahead, women have more, if we're thinking about like the 30-year-old woman,

418

just as like in the middle of life, there's still a lot of life ahead.

419

She has some experience, but not a lot of experience.

420

Like that's why I'm just saying 30-year-old.

421

I think the average 30-year-old woman is better than the average 30-year-old man at planning for the future financially

422

and having a little nod of fear of like, oh, we need to save money.

423

Oh, we need to have some security.

424

Oh, I need to do this.

425

That's my opinion.

426

I could be very wrong.

427

Stereotypically, you know, and it's a stereotype, but, you know, men make the budgets and then women spend it.

428

I would say, okay, this is maybe based on like my friends.

429

The women I know buy the necessary items and the occasional unnecessary items.

430

but men splurge on like big things

431

that could possibly waste a lot of money like that fancy car

432

or the whatever i've certainly seen that yeah

433

so i think in the in that way that's like how men

434

and women spend differently like women make a lot of those smaller purchases out of necessity, maybe out of fun, go buy a shirt every now and then.

435

But men might be more likely to waste big amounts of money.

436

Yeah.

437

Maybe.

438

I mean, probably.

439

I don't know.

440

I'm on the internet saying this now.

441

A man is more likely to buy a boat or a motorcycle or a car even.

442

I know in our household, it's certainly true that I'm the spender.

443

Yeah.

444

Even so, you're not.

445

But I'm not a big...

446

You're not very spendy.

447

Huge spender like some people.

448

Yeah.

449

I think you're...

450

And I'm always looking for the deal and all that.

451

Compared to me, you're a spender, but that's not hard.

452

Vanessa is ultimate frugal.

453

I'm pretty frugal.

454

Okay.

455

The next one.

456

Who is better at expressing emotions?

457

Three, two, one.

458

Women.

459

Women.

460

Okay.

461

So this one was kind of stereotypical.

462

Why do you think it is that women are better at expressing emotions?

463

Well, I think that women seek validation of their emotions more than men do.

464

From other women?

465

Women and their partner.

466

Okay.

467

But women as well.

468

I'm pretty sure I even recently I looked this up because I had to teach something for middle school.

469

and women way more go to each other and talk about their feelings.

470

Men don't.

471

We just, you know, go and hang out with the boys.

472

Do you think that is a learned behavior?

473

I mean, I'm sure it partly is, but I also feel like it's probably somewhat nature for a man to be more,

474

suppressed with his emotions because you don't want to be too like evolutionarily

475

if we're talking about like 50,000 years ago for humans you

476

don't want to be too forthright about like all your feelings

477

you don't want to look sensitive you know all this kind of stuff and

478

that is certainly like around men like men don't want to

479

look sensitive around each other a lot of times it's kind of changing nowadays

480

but yeah I'd say that's probably the main tension nowadays is

481

that women want men to know about how to validate their emotions how to express their emotions all of

482

that like that's a value that women are seeking now in a man.

483

And that's like a big evolutionary change, I think, or like cultural shift, I think. Who knows?

484

A hundred years from now, it might be very different.

485

Yeah.

486

I kind of, you know, part of me does believe a little bit men don't have to as much as women think they do.

487

But, you know, I've certainly gotten some benefit from, you know, going to therapy and letting stuff out and whatnot.

488

Like that's a value.

489

I just don't think like day to day, I don't think a man seeks it out or wants to or needs to.

490

I have heard statistic here.

491

It didn't just come from my brain.

492

I read that after a breakup, statistically, it's harder for men because women,

493

when they have something difficult going on in their lives, will reach out to friends and talk to friends and process it more.

494

And men have to culturally, nature, nurture, I don't know, feel like they have to just be okay.

495

I'm fine.

496

I'm fine.

497

But really, they're not fine.

498

And there is something therapeutic in being sad with someone else or like getting it out a little bit, you know?

499

Yeah.

500

And the statistic...

501

The guy usually has like one friend that he can talk to.

502

I mean, one friend is great.

503

I remember one particular time in my life, though, I had no friends.

504

Aww. That sounds really pitiful.

505

Yeah.

506

I had just moved to a new city, and we broke up, and that was terrible.

507

So you didn't even have me when we were dating?

508

Yeah.

509

Well, yeah, that's a long story.

510

Yes.

511

Years ago.

512

Saga.

513

Decades ago.

514

Well, also, I think the clearest statistic is that the adult topic here,

515

the suicide rate is highest for men.

516

And maybe that's similar.

517

I don't know if this is just me hypothesizing, but men don't have that outlet when they're going through hard times.

518

they might not have that like vulnerability with other men to be able to decompress and like

519

even say I'm having a hard time like to be able to not be a man

520

and I'm fine like if you can

521

I think that can be vulnerable with someone

522

but I also think men are more likely to do like

523

a drastic thing well maybe that's the competitive part like the risk-taking okay well anyways let's go to the next one.

524

This video is getting a little longer than I thought.

525

Okay.

526

The next one is who is better at fixing things?

527

Fixing things?

528

Physical things.

529

Physical things.

530

The faucet's broken.

531

A man.

532

I agree.

533

So I think women can do it.

534

That's a stereotype for a reason.

535

Yeah.

536

I think women can do it. Can they? Can they?

537

I haven't seen you try.

538

Not very often.

539

So I think certain things, stereotypically, women fix.

540

I think women fix problems all the time very well.

541

They certainly try to fix people, don't they?

542

Daniel.

543

But when it comes to like the faucet or something, if there's a man available to fix it, like if you're married to somebody,

544

you're going to hope or want him to fix it.

545

Woman wants the man to fix it.

546

But let's be real.

547

I know plenty of single women who do everything and fix everything.

548

So I feel like women's skill is rising to the occasion.

549

You gave birth.

550

You got a baby.

551

You're healing.

552

You got to feed that baby.

553

You do it.

554

Like you're going to push through ultimate difficulty and do it.

555

And I think if you weren't here, yeah, I'd fix the faucet.

556

Like I would do those things.

557

But I like delegating to you and having you do those things.

558

Okay.

559

I don't want to doubt you.

560

Don't doubt.

561

I finished all my skewers.

562

But wait, I didn't give my opinion there.

563

Oh, really? go ahead men okay uh but i think there's as far as like differences between men and women

564

a lot of this has to do with interest as well this is a good pointer

565

um one big divergence is the interest in people versus things

566

and men tend to be interested in things yeah devices yeah

567

uh stuff yeah commodities economics more than women on average on

568

that and that i've certainly seen that with fixing stuff or being into the minutia of speakers for example

569

music speakers uh i don't know it's like there's a whole subculture of men doing these things and

570

And it's not that a woman can't be there, but she's got to like know her stuff to be like, oh This girl knows her stuff.

571

I feel like a woman might have to they almost have

572

to prove themselves more exactly would feel like she has to prove Herself in that man's sphere

573

Just as much as like you in the teaching sphere might

574

feel like you have to prove yourself as a man Like there's not many men teachers if I was teaching kindergarten.

575

Yeah.

576

Yeah Well, you were teaching elementary school last year.

577

It's true.

578

Like, that's considered a more typically female job.

579

Yeah.

580

But I feel like you kind of straddle the line pretty well.

581

I think sometimes it's the same with sports as well.

582

I do remember I played hockey.

583

And as long as, like, a girl doesn't have, like, a chip on her shoulder about it, and they're just like, yeah, I'm playing the game as best I can, and they, like, know something,

584

guys are usually going to be like yeah come on in here let's do it you know

585

because they just don't want they don't want like drama they don't want extra drama

586

but men amongst each other this is my experience okay well

587

well we might get some we accept women as long as

588

they don't bring their in the man-dominated spheres like you know like

589

because i was on a hockey team mm-hmm it didn't explicitly say a woman can't be there

590

but no women joined there was a woman though right yeah no i'm saying

591

that there was and

592

that nobody said anything about it first of all i think this person was transgender

593

so they didn't explicitly say this

594

but you know she didn't make a fuss about being a woman there like you guys aren't respecting me enough

595

because i'm a woman like she just was playing the game

596

right just like there to do the thing it's not about gender it's doing her best doing anything okay um

597

and she was good enough to hang

598

that helps you know you don't want to be like i can't touch this person

599

yeah bump them yeah like they have to be able to play on the same with the same rules

600

and the same things if you're playing same with men

601

when they're certainly women it helps

602

that it was it wasn't a it was a no checking

603

league you know we weren't actually checking means hitting each other

604

and stuff okay so we were talking about fixing things

605

and we got a little off track which is fine

606

but um i have i chopped a new skewered that's what it turned into but we didn't put any of the

607

cheese on the skewers i didn't i was just skewering okay i have two more

608

and we're going to keep them really fast

609

because this lesson is getting very long okay who is better

610

at oh wait you have these two good there's more to

611

be made who is better at keeping things clean three two one

612

uh i want to say my opinion about this first i think women are better at keeping things clean

613

because women are really good at noticing details like everybody who is married has experienced this I guarantee it 100%

614

that a woman can walk into a room and a man can walk into a room and they will notice different things.

615

Like the counter is a mess.

616

I will clock that.

617

I'll notice that.

618

But Dan might not notice it.

619

But once you know like, oh, Vanessa really cares about the counter being clean, then, you know, you'll clean it and take care of it and whatnot.

620

But I notice things and I think women notice stuff like the focus,

621

the multitasking of things and like what's going on is really strong for women.

622

And I feel like for me, when our house is clean, I feel so good.

623

There's like something deep within my soul that feels good, cleansed, like relieved relieved.

624

There's a weight that's off of my shoulders.

625

Anyway, that's how I feel.

626

Why do you think women are better at keeping things clean?

627

Why do I think they are?

628

Yeah.

629

Oh man, I don't know.

630

Big question.

631

I just agree with you.

632

In this case, you know, there might have something to do with,

633

you know, women caring more about their home environments like having a more holistic scale

634

or a sense about it okay maybe can i have some

635

more pineapple i'm done um okay well let's do the last

636

one are you ready the last one what piece of cheese

637

oh you got cheese on there good for you okay the last one is slightly more controversial uh-oh okay Okay.

638

Who is better at handling stress?

639

Three, two, one.

640

Men.

641

Women?

642

Okay.

643

I feel like I'm not sure about this.

644

Well, it depends on the stress.

645

I think that's the answer.

646

Yeah.

647

Why do you think men?

648

Like, what's the situation where you- Well, I already mentioned the car situation.

649

Yeah.

650

Yeah.

651

High stress environments, men tend to work in those like his job.

652

So in the workplace?

653

Climbing, especially like physical risk.

654

I think a man is much more likely to disregard the danger in front of them.

655

You know, like climbing radio towers or whatever, fixing light bulbs and stuff like that.

656

Plumbers, getting down dirty in the muck, in the mud, in the mire.

657

All that stuff.

658

Which is a form of stress.

659

Mm-hmm. And I don't know.

660

I feel like women get stressed more in general.

661

They at least emote their stress more.

662

I think that's it.

663

I think that the stress, I mean, obviously by what I said about the suicide rate, men are going to keep it in, which is not good.

664

Don't do that.

665

Don't forget the cheese.

666

Cheese.

667

One piece of cheese.

668

You're going to set the cheese right in front of you.

669

Okay.

670

You want to put it right there?

671

I'll put this.

672

But I think that there are certain things that me and my mom friends,

673

for example, were like, our dudes would never be able to handle this.

674

And it's a lot of...

675

A lot to die home and child care and peopling like dealing with

676

uh it's the multitasking really of like okay we got a

677

birthday party on saturday i need to get a present for

678

that kid i need to make sure

679

that everyone is ready by blah blah blah time

680

so like i'm like gaming it out in my head you know

681

so like that that helps me deal with stress by being organized

682

and like i guess this is a more individualistic thing than a gendered thing

683

dealing with stress yeah well i don't know i think i made my case pretty well

684

men i we're talking about different things here i think we are talking about different things

685

because for example i have a plus like i don't like ladies come home

686

and like they said they might have dealt with the thing better.

687

They still come home stressed, right?

688

Yeah.

689

I mean, maybe- They're still like, I just did 5,000 things today.

690

Yeah, but then they're still going to make dinner and still going to blah, blah, blah, and still going to pick up the kids from soccer

691

and do all those things and push through instead of checking out.

692

I'm not saying they're strong.

693

I think the stereotype is that men would check out and be like, I'm just going to sit on my phone.

694

I've had too much going on.

695

I need a break.

696

That could be possible.

697

And women are like, I got like, I'm coordinating all the things still.

698

And I still worked all day.

699

And I did all this stuff.

700

And like, maybe that's multitasking.

701

I don't know.

702

These topics overlap.

703

Okay, I'm going to finish this skewer.

704

And then I think before we go, we need a am I overdoing the skewer?

705

A handshake.

706

We need a handshake.

707

We need a handshake.

708

A men and women coming together for the better, greater good of humanity.

709

Wow.

710

Are you ready?

711

Yeah.

712

Good job.

713

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.
