All right, let's be honest.

You want to speak English, but you also want to be able to sound like a native English speaker.

You want to use the slang that we use, or at least understand when the slang is used in movies or television programs, or even when native English speakers are having conversations around you, you don't want to be confused anymore.

Well, my friend, I got your back.

I am going to help you in today's lesson.

I am going to give you five English slang terms that you can use starting right now during English conversations.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffany.

Let's jump right in.

All right.

Here is the first slang that I want to teach you.

Ghost.

That's right.

Again, ghost.

Now you probably already know this word ghost, right?

But when we say ghost or ghosting as a slang term, it literally means to disappear or stop communicating suddenly.

This is a very popular term.

You can start using it right now.

I want you to imagine this, right?

Just an example.

So I'm dating this guy, right?

And we text back and forth every day.

Oh, how was your day?

And he's asking me, oh, Tiffany, what did you eat for lunch today?

And we text quite often, but all of a sudden he starts getting on my nerves.

I really don't want to talk to him anymore.

I kind of want to break up with him, but instead of me calling him and saying, Hey, I'm sorry, him and saying, Hey, I'm sorry, Brian.

I think we're going to have to end our relationship.

I just stop responding to his text messages.

When my phone dings, shoot, it's Brian.

I act like I didn't see the message when he calls me.

Ooh, swipe ending the call.

I am ghosting him.

Makes sense.

Now don't worry your teacher.

I I'm not like that, but I wanted to make sure you understood this term of ghosting.

Maybe you have ghosted someone before, or maybe someone has ghosted you.

Makes sense.

Right?

All right.

Here are some examples sentences using this slang term.

Here's the first one.

He ghosted me after our first date.

I don't know what happened.

You got it.

He ghosted me after our first date.

I don't know what happened next sentence.

Number two, example two.

I asked him for his number, but he just ghosted me.

I asked him for his number, but when I text him, he doesn't respond.

He just ghosts me.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right.

Third, she's been ghosting us all week.

I hope everything is okay.

Notice it's not just in a relationship as far as boyfriend and girlfriend, your friends can ghost you.

Maybe they are mad at you or, or maybe something happened and they're just not wanting to talk about it.

Ghost someone you got it.

Yes.

Excellent.

All right.

So the first slang term is ghost.

Now this next one, before I teach you this next one, as you're learning these terms, it's going to be very important for you to practice what you're learning.

So I want to make sure you remember after this lesson, as soon as this lesson ends, I want you to go to your phone and open the English with Tiffany app.

If you haven't downloaded it yet.

Why all you have to do is go to your phone and download English with Tiffany.

If you're watching this now, the link is right underneath the video, but open the English with Tiffany app and you'll see the courses weekly English fluency lessons with teacher Tiffany, and you'll find today's lesson and you'll be able to practice seeing if you remember the definitions, seeing if you can create example sentences and so much more.

So get the app.

Download it.

If you haven't already downloaded it and start practicing right after this lesson.

Again, the link for the exact lesson is right below this video.

So let's go to the second one.

Here we go.

The second slang term is squad.

Oh yeah.

Again, squad.

Good.

Now squad.

This just refers to a group of friends or associates.

It's very simple.

So your homies, your friends, your squad, the people that you hang with the people that you were always around my squad.

Notice if you're watching my body language kind of change, right?

Oh, this is my squad.

These are my people.

These are my homies.

This is my squad.

You got it.

Right?

So maybe you have your squad.

Maybe when you were back in grade school, high school, college, or even grad school, You had a group of friends that you always hung around.

They were your squad.

You got it.

Excellent.

Now check out this example sentence.

Here we go.

The first one, my squad and I are planning a weekend trip next month.

You see how simple that was my squad and I, my homies and I, my friends and I, my friend group, my squad and I are planning a weekend trip next month.

What about this example sentence?

100

She always hangs out with her squad at the mall on weekends.

101

Yeah.

102

She enjoys going to the mall on the weekends with her squad, with her friends.

103

You got it.

104

All right.

105

Check out this example sentence.

106

I can always count on my squad to have my back.

107

Now this is very true.

108

My squad, my friends, I can count on them.

109

Can you count on your squad?

110

I'm sure you can.

111

So again, we have squad.

112

I can always count on my squad to have my back.

113

You got it.

114

All right.

115

Again, I want you to try to use these terms starting today.

116

This is how you actually put things into practice.

117

Start using them as soon as you learn them.

118

Now the third slang term is salty.

119

This is another good one.

120

I'm saying I'm teaching you these slang terms because literally right now they are being used on a regular basis by native English speakers.

121

Including your teacher salty.

122

That's the third one.

123

It just means feeling upset or bitter about something feeling upset or bitter about something.

124

For example, I remember one situation.

125

There was a squad, right?

126

I was friends with them, but they were a squad and two of the friends were going on a trip, but they had not told the other friend.

127

So when the other friend found out that the two other friends were going by themselves, she got a little bit salty.

128

Oh, so now you guys travel without me.

129

Okay.

130

All right.

131

So we're not all a squad now.

132

You guys just go alone without me.

133

No, I'm totally fine.

134

Yeah.

135

Nope.

136

Go ahead.

137

I don't need you guys either.

138

You could tell by the look on her face that she was salty, a little upset, a little bitter, like I thought we were friends.

139

Salty.

140

You got it.

141

All right.

142

Don't worry.

143

They're friends.

144

Now everything's fine.

145

Here's the example sentence.

146

The first one he's so salty that he didn't get the promotion instead of me.

147

I got the promotion he wanted.

148

So now he's salty.

149

He's a little upset.

150

He doesn't want to talk to me.

151

He walks past me very quickly in the office.

152

Now he's a little salty.

153

All right.

154

Next we have, she got salty.

155

When I beat her at the game, we were playing basketball and I shot the last shot and I made it and she got salty when I beat her at the game.

156

And finally this one.

157

I was a little salty when they canceled our concert tickets.

158

I I'm not going to lie.

159

I was a little salty.

160

I was a little upset when they canceled our concert tickets.

161

You got it.

162

Excellent.

163

Again, salty.

164

It just means a little upset.

165

Let me give you another practical example.

166

If you're married, right?

167

I'll give this for the guys.

168

Maybe you can say, ah, my wife was a little salty when I forgot to bring home the flowers for the women.

169

You could say my husband was a little bit salty when I told him I was going out with the girls instead of staying home.

170

Salty.

171

You got it.

172

Excellent.

173

All right.

174

Let's go to the fourth one, the fourth slang term that you can use starting today.

175

TBT.

176

Yes.

177

TBT.

178

Now this is one that we use mainly when we are texting or online, like for social media, I'll explain TBT stands for throw back Thursday, sharing old photos or memories on social media.

179

So let's say for example, we have TBT like previous boyfriends, right.

180

Or.

181

Old hairstyles, right.

182

Or old clothing.

183

My friend posted a picture of things we used to wear back in the nineties when we were in high school.

184

Wow.

185

The styles have changed, but we thought we were cute.

186

And of course we were, but TBT throwback Thursday.

187

So now when you go online, social media, like Instagram or even a Tik TOK or Facebook, and you see someone put TBT and then an old picture.

188

Now you'll know what they're referring to.

189

Oh, this is a throwback Thursday moment.

190

They're reminiscing or thinking about something from the past.

191

You got it.

192

Excellent.

193

All right.

194

Here's the first example sentence.

195

Can't believe how young we look in this TBT photo in this throwback Thursday photo, you got it.

196

Someone would text you girl.

197

Did you see the TBT photo?

198

We looked so young.

199

Did you see the throwback Thursday photo?

200

You got it.

201

All right.

202

Check out this example sentence.

203

I'm posting a TBT of our family vacation from years ago.

204

Throwback.

205

Now throwback.

206

You can say that out loud.

207

Throwback just means something from the past.

208

All right.

209

And what about this example sentence right here?

210

You know, she posted a TBT of her graduation day and got so many likes.

211

When she posted that picture on Facebook, that TBT photo of when she graduated from high school.

212

So many people liked it.

213

TBT throwback Thursday.

214

You got it.

215

Excellent.

216

All right.

217

So what about the fifth slang term that you can start using right now?

218

T yes.

219

T E A again, T.

220

Now I'm chuckling because this actually happened in my English class this past week.

221

So it just means gossip or juicy information.

222

Actually, I'll tell you the story for story time.

223

Don't go anywhere at the very end.

224

I'll tell you the story.

225

So T just refers to some gossip, right?

226

Like, Ooh, spill the tea.

227

Ooh, what's the gossip?

228

Ooh, tell me what happened.

229

Tell me the gossip spill the tea.

230

Now, the easiest way for you to remember this is think about a group of women sitting together, just a situation and example, and they're drinking some tea, right?

231

Just talking.

232

And they say, girl, how have you been?

233

What's been going on as they're drinking their tea.

234

That's kind of where the term comes from.

235

Spill the tea.

236

Tell me what's happening.

237

Tell me the gossip.

238

You got it.

239

All right, check out this first example sentence.

240

Have you heard the tea about what really happened at the party?

241

Have you, have you heard what happened?

242

Tell me the tea.

243

You got it.

244

All right.

245

Check out this other example sentence.

246

She always knows the latest tea on all our friends.

247

She always knows the latest gossip, the latest information.

248

The T and finally this one right here.

249

Tell me the T about what's going on with her and with him again, tell me the T about what's going on with her and him spill the information.

250

What's the gossip.

251

You got it.

252

Yes.

253

In English we say T.

254

All right.

255

Excellent.

256

Now, again, these five slang terms, you can start using them right now.

257

We use them in real life on a regular basis as Americans.

258

So you can start using them as well.

259

Don't forget to go to the app right now, English with Tiffany, so that you can practice what you just learned, matching the definitions with the correct term, making the sentences and so much more.

260

All right.

261

I hope you enjoyed today's lesson and I will talk to you in the next one.

262

You still there?

263

You know what time it is.

264

It's story time.

265

Hey, I said it's story time.

266

It's actually time for me to spill the tea.

267

So this happened actually a few days ago.

268

Very honestly, it did.

269

So at the time of this recording a few days ago, so I teach a class, um, once a month for some of my students in one of my advanced English programs.

270

And I normally pop into the different rooms, right?

271

We do it via zoom and I do go to the different groups and I listened to them as they're having their conversations.

272

So I popped into one room and they were having a great time, which every teacher loves to see.

273

But I noticed that they were laughing and chuckling about something.

274

And as I listened closely, this was a group of men.

275

I listened closely.

276

They were spilling the tea.

277

They said, listen, did you know that dot, dot, dot, and dot, dot, dot.

278

And I watched them.

279

I said, these men are spilling the tea, gossiping, sharing information.

280

Now it was cute to see, because again, these individuals had become very close friends and they weren't saying anything bad, but it was so cute to see the guys spilling the tea.

281

Like, Hey man, did you hear this?

282

And what about this?

283

And they were doing it all in English.

284

Now this made me happy for many reasons.

285

First, they were so comfortable speaking in English that they weren't worried about anything.

286

Second, these two men had become friends after joining the academy, after becoming a member of our family.

287

And now they are super close.

288

And third, they were using the terms that they had learned properly.

289

This was a great experience and a memory that I will never forget.

290

Maybe you like to spill the tea, be careful, nothing private.

291

All right.

292

I hope you enjoy the lesson and I'll talk to you next time.

このビデオで会話練習をする理由

英語を話す能力を向上させるためには、実際の会話に関連するスラングや表現を学ぶことが重要です。このビデオでは、ネイティブスピーカーが日常会話でよく使うスラングが紹介されています。例えば、「ghost」という言葉が使われており、これは急に連絡を断つことを意味します。このような表現を理解して使えるようになると、会話がよりスムーズになり、周囲の会話や映画、テレビ番組の理解が深まります。英語を学んでいる皆さんは、ぜひこのシャドーイングサイトで英語シャドーイングを活用し、スラングをマスターしてみてください。

文法と文脈における表現

ビデオ内で使用されている重要な構造には、以下のようなものがあります：

Ghost - 動詞として使用され、連絡を突然断つことを示します。
Stop responding - 「返事をやめる」という意味で、行動を表すフレーズです。
Text back and forth - 「行き来するメッセージ」という意味で、コミュニケーションのスタイルを示しています。

これらの文法構造は、日常会話の流れや非公式なコミュニケーションを理解する手助けになります。このようなスラングやフレーズを練習することで、英語の発音を良くすることもできます。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

このビデオでは、一部の単語やフレーズの発音が挑戦となる場合があります。特に「ghost」という単語は、文脈によって異なる意味合いを持つため、注意が必要です。また、スラングはしばしば速く発音されることが多く、聞き取るのが難しいことがあります。特に、発音の異なるアクセントに注意しながら練習することで、英語の発音を向上させることができます。効果的な学習方法として、shadowspeaksのようなリソースを活用することもおすすめです。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型	動画での表現
現在完了進行形 have/has been + -ing — 以前に始まり今も続いている動作	she's been ghosting · What's been going
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している	have ghosted · haven't downloaded · haven't already downloaded
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる	is used · being used

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
