Hi friends, welcome back to Daily English Talk.
2
Hey everyone, I'm Tom and this is Lily and we are your English learning friends.
3
If you are new here, welcome to the family.
4
We are so happy you found us.
5
Every single day we help you speak English with more confidence. And today?
6
Today is a really special lesson.
7
It really is because today we are talking about emotions.
8
Yes, how to talk about your feelings in English.
9
And this is important because, okay, think about it.
10
You meet someone.
11
They ask, "How are you?" and you say, I am fine.
12
Every time.
13
Every single time.
14
But what if you are not fine?
15
What if you are nervous or excited or a little bit confused?
16
Today, after this lesson, you will have so many new words to describe exactly how you feel.
17
In English, like a pro.
18
Let's go.
19
But first, we have a question for you today.
20
Ooh, yes.
21
Okay, so later in this video, something happened to me this week, something that made me feel a very strong emotion.
22
A very strong emotion, yes.
23
Here is the question.
24
What emotion did Tom feel when he found out his coffee shop was closed?
25
Oh, no, don't tell them yet.
26
C. Relieved.
27
Relieved.
28
That's funny.
29
Watch the whole video and find out at the end.
30
Write your guess in the comments right now.
31
A, B, or C.
32
Yes, tell us.
33
We want to know what you think.
34
Okay, Tom, so this morning, how are you feeling?
35
For real, not just fine.
36
Honestly, I am feeling a little bit tired today.
37
Aww, why?
38
What happened?
39
So yesterday was a really long day.
40
I had a lot of work.
41
I felt very stressed.
42
Stressed.
43
Okay, that's one of our words today.
44
Stressed.
45
When you have too much work or too many problems, you feel stressed.
46
coffee shop, you know, the one near the park?
47
Oh yes, I love that place.
48
It was closed.
49
No. Yes, closed.
50
A sign on the door said "closed" today.
51
No reason.
52
Nothing.
53
Oh, no, Tom.
54
And I was standing there outside in the cold, and I felt, I felt...
55
What did you feel, Tom?
56
Devastated.
57
Devastated?
58
Because of coffee?
59
Listen, it was a long day.
60
I needed that coffee.
61
I was emotionally attached to that coffee.
62
I cannot.
63
I cannot with you.
64
You laugh now, but you would feel the same.
65
stressed, tired, and then devastated all in one day.
66
It was a journey, an emotional journey.
67
Perfect!
68
And that is exactly what today's lesson is about: emotions, how we feel, and how to talk about those feelings in English.
69
Okay, let's talk about grammar first, just a little bit, very simple.
70
Don't worry, it's easy.
71
When we talk about emotions in English, we use the verb "to feel" or the verb "to be." .
72
Let me show you.
73
We say "I feel happy" or we say "I am happy." Both are correct.
74
So you can say, "I feel nervous" or "I am nervous." Same meaning.
75
Now here's a small tip: We usually use feel when we want to talk about a temporary emotion, something right now, in this moment.
76
For example, "I feel a little tired today.
77
It's just today, not forever." Hopefully not forever.
78
And we use "I am" when the emotion is a little more general, like, "I am a happy person." That's your personality.
79
Simple, right?
80
I feel + emotion or I am + emotion.
81
Practice both.
82
And one more thing: to make emotions stronger, we use words like "really?" so or very.
83
I am so excited.
84
I feel very nervous.
85
I am really happy.
86
These little words make a big difference.
87
Okay, now let's learn the emotions.
88
We have 10 emotions for you today.
89
10. And Tom and I have a little story for each one.
90
Oh, my stories are very good today.
91
I prepared.
92
Number one.
93
Number one is happy.
94
H -A -P -P -Y.
95
Happy.
96
Happy means you feel good.
97
You feel positive.
98
You are smiling.
99
My story for happy.
100
Okay.
101
Last Saturday, I woke up and it was sunny outside.
102
I made my coffee.
103
I sat by the window.
104
My cat came and sat on my lap and I thought, I am so happy right now.
105
Oh, that is the most peaceful thing I have ever heard.
106
It was perfect.
107
Just a small moment, but I felt so happy.
108
And that's the thing about happy.
109
It doesn't have to be a big moment.
110
Small moments make us happy, too.
111
Now repeat after me.
112
I feel happy today.
113
Say it.
114
Say it loud.
115
Okay, number two.
116
Sad.
117
S -A -D.
118
Sad.
119
is the opposite of happy.
120
You feel sad when something bad happens or when you miss someone.
121
Oh, my story.
122
Okay, so a few months ago, my old neighbor moved away, Mr. Jenkins.
123
He was 70 years old.
124
He always waved to me in the morning.
125
He always said, good morning, Tom.
126
Wonderful day.
127
Aw, he sounds so sweet.
128
Oh, he was.
129
And when he moved, I felt really sad.
130
I still miss him.
131
That's such a nice story, Tom.
132
Repeat, "I feel a little sad today," or "I am sad because I miss my friend." Number three: excited.
133
Excited.
134
E -X -C -I -T -E -D.
135
Excited!
136
You don't even need to explain this one.
137
Look at your face!
138
I know, I know.
139
Excited means you feel a lot of energy.
140
Something good is coming and you cannot wait.
141
When are you excited, Lily?
142
And the night before, I could not sleep.
143
Too excited to sleep!
144
I kept checking my bag.
145
Did I pack my passport?
146
Yes!
147
Did I pack it again?
148
Yes!
149
Let me check one more time!
150
Oh no!
151
I was so excited!
152
My heart was beating fast.
153
I had so much energy.
154
That is excited!
155
Repeat, I am so excited.
156
I feel very excited about tomorrow.
157
Number four, nervous.
158
N -E -R -V -O -U -S.
159
Nervous.
160
Nervous is when something is coming and you are a little bit scared, a little bit worried.
161
Maybe your hands shake, maybe your stomach feels strange.
162
My story for nervous.
163
Okay, about two months ago, I started this channel with Lily.
164
Yes!
165
first video.
166
And before we pressed record, I was so nervous.
167
He was.
168
He kept saying, "Is my hair okay?
169
Is the camera okay?
170
Is everything okay?" I was very nervous.
171
It was my first time on camera.
172
I thought, "What if I say the wrong word?
173
What if I laugh at the wrong time?" You laugh at every wrong time.
174
That's true.
175
But I was nervous.
176
My hands were shaking a little.
177
And look at him now.
178
73 videos later, not nervous at all.
179
Not even a little.
180
Okay, maybe a little.
181
Repeat, I feel nervous before my exam.
182
I am nervous about speaking English.
183
And that is normal.
184
Being nervous is normal.
185
It means you care.
186
Number five.
187

188
A -N -G -R -Y.

192
You want to say something or do something.

194
My story for angry?
195
Okay, so I was in a cafe working on my laptop and someone walked in and sat right next to me.
196
The cafe was almost empty.
197
So many seats and they chose a seat right next to me.
198
Why do people do that?
199
And then they started a phone call.
200
A loud phone call.
201
And I was trying to focus.
202
And I felt so Angry.
203
Did you say something?
204
No, I just looked at them with this face.
205
The look.
206
I know the look.
207
I was angry, but I stayed quiet.
208
Very British of me.
209
Repeat, I feel angry right now.

I was really angry this morning.
211
Number six.
212
Surprised.
213
S -U -R -P -R -I -S -E -D.

Good or bad, it was not in your plan.
217
OK, my story.
218
So two weeks ago, I came home after work, and my apartment was dark.
219
I thought, strange.
220
I turned on the light and-- What?

All my friends were there.

They shouted, surprise, happy birthday.

237
Okay, I do not like scary movies.
238
I do not watch them.
239
But one night, my friend said, It's not scary.
240
It's just a little spooky.

Famous last words.

I watched it, and in one scene, everything was quiet.
244
Very quiet.
245
And then suddenly, Oh no!
246
I was so scared.
247
My heart was beating so fast.
248
I had to pause the movie and drink some water.
249

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Praticare l'inglese parlato non è solo una questione di memorizzare parole e frasi, ma di capire come esprimere le tue emozioni in situazioni quotidiane. Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per apprendere vocaboli e frasi utili che puoi usare per descrivere come ti senti. Essere in grado di rispondere a domande come "Come stai?" in modo più dettagliato dimostra non solo la tua padronanza della lingua, ma anche il tuo coinvolgimento emotivo. Imparare a usare parole come stressed, excited, e confused ti aiuterà a comunicare in modo più autentico e a creare connessioni più profonde con le persone. Inoltre, utilizzando tecniche di shadowspeak, potrai migliorare la tua pronuncia e la tua fluidità, rendendo il tuo apprendimento dell'inglese più efficace e coinvolgente.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Nella conversazione del video, Tom e Lily utilizzano diverse strutture grammaticali e espressioni per esprimere stati d'animo ed emozioni. Ecco alcuni punti chiave:

  • Domande aperte: La frase "Come ti senti?" permette risposte più elaborate rispetto a un semplice "bene". Ciò incoraggia gli interlocutori a connettersi più profondamente.
  • Uso del presente continuo: Frasi come "I am feeling tired" mostrano che l'emozione è in corso, rendendo la comunicazione più vivida.
  • Espressioni per descrivere emozioni: Termini come stressed e relieved danno un'idea chiara delle sensazioni, utile per chiunque desideri esprimere la propria esperienza.
  • Contrasti emotivi: Il video mostra come si possa passare da un'emozione all'altra, il che è importante per rendere le conversazioni più realistiche e dinamiche.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

Durante la visione del video, potresti incontrare alcune parole che presentano sfide di pronuncia. Ecco alcune di esse:

  • Stressed: Assicurati di enfatizzare la "st" iniziale e di pronunciare chiaramente la "s" finale.
  • Excited: Fai attenzione a non confondere la pronuncia di questo termine con "exited". La corretta enfasi sulla sillaba giusta è fondamentale.
  • Relieved: Questa parola può essere difficile da pronunciare per i non madrelingua. Praticare l'inflessione può aiutarti a renderla più naturale.

Utilizzando queste tecniche di shadow speech, puoi lavorare sulla tua pronuncia e fluidità. Esplora risorse di shadowspeaks che ti offrono esercizi pratici per migliorare sempre di più.

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.
