Welcome to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.
2
Learn English with Masu and Fizu.
3
You know that feeling when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m
4
and your bed feels like the most comfortable place in the entire world?
5
Yeah, me too.
6
But here's something interesting.
7
Some of the most successful people in the world wake up at 5 a.m every single day.
8
And today we're going to learn how to talk about it in English.
9
Hello everyone and welcome back to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.
10
I'm Masu and I'm so happy you're here with us today.
11
Whether you're listening while having your morning coffee, or maybe you're actually one of those amazing 5am people, this episode is perfect for you.
12
You know, talking about daily routines might sound simple, but it's actually one of the most useful conversations you can have in English.
13
Think about it.
14
When you meet new people, when you're making friends, when you're traveling, people always ask, what do you do in the morning?
15
Or what time do you wake up?
16
These are real conversations that happen every single day.
17
So here's what we're going to do today.
18
By the end of this conversation, you'll be able to talk confidently about morning routines, ask people about their daily habits,
19
and share your own schedule in natural, fluent English.
20
We're going to practice two different real-life situations today.
21
First, you'll learn how to have a casual conversation with a friend about morning routines.
22
You know, that friendly chat when you're curious about how someone starts their day. And second,
23
we're going to practice talking to a personal trainer at a gym who's giving you advice about building better morning habits.
24
Two totally different situations, but both super useful.
25
And of course, I have my friend Fizu here with me today.
26
Fizu, let me ask you something.
27
What time do you usually wake up in the morning?
28
Oh, I wake up usually at 7 o'clock, sometimes 7.30.
29
But 5 a.m., that sounds really crazy for me.
30
It sounds crazy for a lot of people.
31
But you know what?
32
After today's conversation, you might want to try it, or at least you'll know exactly how to talk about it in English.
33
Are you ready to start?
34
Yes, I'm ready.
35
But Masu, I have to say, I am a very sleepy person in the morning.
36
Good try, Fizu.
37
I understand what you mean.
38
But let me show you a better way to say that.
39
We don't say, I am a very sleepy person.
40
Instead, we say, I'm a very sleepy person in the morning.
41
Or even more natural, I'm not a morning person.
42
Can you try that?
43
Oh, I'm not a morning person.
44
Is that correct?
45
Perfect!
46
Yes, I'm not a morning person is exactly what we say when we don't like waking up early.
47
That was great, Fizu!
48
Okay, everyone, let's dive into today's conversation.
49
So Fizu, let's talk about morning routines.
50
When your alarm goes off at 7am, what's the first thing you do?
51
Hmm, the first thing I think… I check my phone.
52
I look at messages and social media.
53
Okay, interesting.
54
A lot of people do that.
55
Now, let me teach you something useful here.
56
When we talk about the first thing we do, we have a really natural way to say it in English.
57
We say, the first thing I do is check my phone.
58
Notice how we use is plus the base verb.
59
Can you say that sentence?
60
The first thing I do is check my phone.
61
Excellent.
62
Now, what about after that?
63
Do you get out of bed immediately, or do you stay in bed for a while?
64
I stay in bed.
65
Sometimes I'm staying for 10 or 15 minutes.
66
I like your honesty, but let's fix that sentence just a little bit.
67
You said, I am staying, but when we talk about habits and routines, we use the simple present tense, not the continuous form.
68
So the correct way is, I stay in bed for 10 or 15 minutes.
69
The word for is important here because it shows duration, how long you do something.
70
Try it again.
71
I stay in bed for 10 or 15 minutes.
72
Perfect.
73
That's exactly right.
74
Now you're speaking naturally.
75
So after you finally get out of bed, what happens next?
76
Then I go to bathroom and I wash my face and I brush my tooth.
77
Good.
78
You're doing great but I caught one small mistake there.
79
You said, I brush my tooth, but we need to say, I brush my teeth, because we have more than one tooth, right?
80
The plural is teeth.
81
It's one of those tricky English words that changes completely.
82
Oh, teeth.
83
So, I brush my teeth.
84
Yes, I brush my teeth.
85
Perfect pronunciation too, Fizu!
86
Now, let me tell you a quick story.
87
When I was learning about healthy morning routines, I read something really interesting.
88
There's this very successful businessman named Tim Cook.
89
He's the CEO of Apple.
90
And he wakes up at 3.45am every single morning.
91
Can you imagine?
92
3.45.
93
He says the morning is the most productive time because there are no distractions.
94
The world is quiet, and he can focus on his most important work.
95
I thought that was fascinating.
96
Wow!
97
3.45?
98
That's more early than 5 a.m.
99
Gently almost perfect, Fizu.
100
But we don't say more early.
101
Instead, we use earlier.
102
It's a comparative form.
103
So we say, that's earlier than 5 a.m.
104
Can you say that?
105
That's earlier than 5 a.m.
106
Exactly.
107
Beautiful.
108
You know, this is actually a really common mistake that learners make.
109
Some adjectives use more to make comparatives, like more beautiful or more interesting,
110
but early becomes earlier, just like easy becomes easier.
111
Does that make sense?
112
Yes, I understand now.
113
Earlier, not more early.
114
You've got it.
115
Okay, so let's think about this.
116
If someone wakes up at 5 a.m., what do you think they might do?
117
What activities would be good for the early morning?
118
Hmm, maybe they do exercise?
119
Or they read books?
120
Those are excellent ideas.
121
Yes, a lot of 5am people exercise or read.
122
Some people also meditate.
123
That means they sit quietly and focus on their breathing to feel calm and peaceful.
124
And some people use that quiet time to plan their day or work on personal projects.
125
Here's a cultural note for you.
126
In Western countries, especially in America, there's this whole culture around morning routines and productivity.
127
People talk about it a lot.
128
They share their routines on social media.
129
They read books about it.
130
They even have podcasts just about morning habits.
131
It's really popular.
132
Oh, that's interesting.
133
In my country, many people wake up early too for different reasons.
134
For example, for morning prayer or to prepare breakfast for family.
135
That's a beautiful observation, Fizu.
136
You see, different cultures, different reasons, but the morning time is special everywhere.
137
Now, let's practice using some of this vocabulary in a more natural way.
138
If I ask you, what does your morning routine look like, how would you answer?
139
Mmm, my morning routine looks like, um, wait, my morning routine looks like I wake up,
140
check phone for a few minutes, brush my teeth, and then have breakfast.
141
Good effort!
142
You corrected yourself on looks like.
143
That was excellent awareness.
144
Now, let me show you an even more natural way to answer.
145
Instead of saying, my morning routine looks like, and then listing everything, we usually just say, well, I wake up around 7,
146
check my phone for a few minutes, brush my teeth, and then have breakfast.
147
We don't need to repeat, my morning routine looks like.
148
We just dive into describing it.
149
Does that feel more natural?
150
Yes, that sounds much better.
151
So I just say what I do, right?
152
Exactly.
153
You just described the actions in order.
154
Now, here's a question for you, and I want our viewers to think about this, too.
155
Why do you think some people prefer to wake up so early, even when they don't have to?
156
Maybe because they want to have more time, or they want to do things before other people wake up?
157
Those are great answers.
158
Yes, exactly.
159
Many early risers say they love the quiet, peaceful feeling of the early morning.
160
They feel like they're getting a head start on the day.
161
That means they're starting before everyone else, so they feel ahead.
162
It's also about discipline and building good habits.
163
Okay, I think we're ready to practice this in a real conversation.
164
Let's move into our first real-life situation.
165
Alright, Fizu, let's put everything we've learned into practice.
166
Here's the situation.
167
Imagine you're at a coffee shop on a Saturday morning.
168
It's about 9am and you went into a friend who you haven't seen in weeks.
169
You sit down together with your coffee and you start chatting.
170
Your friend mentions that they've started waking up at 5am every day and you're really surprised and curious about it.
171
You want to know why they're doing it, what their routine is like, and how it's working for them.
172
This is a friendly, casual conversation, just two friends catching up.
173
I'll be your friend and you be yourself.
174
Ready?
175
Okay, I'm ready.
176
Hey, oh my gosh, is that you?
177
I haven't seen you in forever.
178
How have you been?
179
Hey, yes, it's me.
180
I'm good, thank you.
181
How are you?
182
I'm doing great.
183
Actually, I've been feeling amazing lately.
184
I started this new routine and it's changed everything for me.
185
Oh really?
186
What routine?
187
I've been waking up at 5 a.m every single day for the past month.
188
What?
189
5 a.m.?
190
That's very early.
191
Why you do that?
192
Good question, Fizu, but let's fix the grammar quickly.
193
Instead of why you do that, we need to say why do you do that.
194
In questions, we use do before you.
195
Can you try again?
196
Why do you do that?
197
Perfect.
198
Much better.
199
Back in character.
200
Well, I wanted to have more time for myself, you know?
201
Time before work gets crazy and before everyone starts texting me.
202
Hmm.
203
I understand.
204
But 5 a.m is so early.
205
How you wake up?
206
You use an alarm?
207
Fizu, same thing.
208
How you wake up needs do in the question.
209
It should be how do you wake up.
210
Try it.
211
How do you wake up?
212
Do you use an alarm?
213
Excellent.
214
Much better. In character.
215
Yes, I set my alarm for 4.55 a.m.
216
The first week was really hard, not going to lie, but now my body's used to it.
217
Wow.
218
And what is the first thing you do when you wake up?
219
Good question.
220
The first thing I do is drink a big glass of water.
221
Then I put on my workout clothes and go for a run.
222
You run in the morning?
223
Every day?
224
Every single day.
225
Well, except Sundays.
226
Sundays I rest.
227
That's amazing.
228
I think you are a very disciplined person.
229
Fizu, you're doing so well, but remember what we practiced earlier?
230
We need the article A here.
231
Say I think you are a very disciplined person.
232
Also discipline as an adjective becomes disciplined with ED at the end.
233
Can you say it?
234
I think you are a very disciplined person.
235
Perfect.
236
That's exactly right.
237
Back in character.
238
Thank you.
239
It's not easy, but I feel so much better.
240
What about you?
241
What time do you usually wake up?
242
Me?
243
I wake up at 7 o'clock usually, sometimes 7.30 if I am tired.
244
That's still pretty good.
245
Do you have a morning routine?
246
Yes, kind of.
247
I wake up, I check my phone for a few minutes, then I brush my teeth and take a shower.
248
Fizu, you said for few minutes, we need A before few, so it's for a few minutes.
249
And take shower needs A too, take A shower.
250
These little articles are important.
251
Try that sentence again.
252
I check my phone for a few minutes, then I brush my teeth and take a shower.
253
Yes, perfect.
254
Those articles make it sound natural.
255
Nice.
256
So do you eat breakfast at home or on the way to work?
257
I eat at home usually.
258
I make simple breakfast, coffee and toast, or sometimes eggs.
259
That sounds good.
260
You know, since I started waking up at 5, I actually have time to make a really nice breakfast.
261
I love it.
262
That's nice.
263
But I have a question.
264
Don't you feel very tired during the day?
265
Great question, but small fix.
266
I have a question.
267
We need that A again.
268
Try it.
269
I have a question.
270
Don't you feel very tired during the day?
271
Excellent. In character.
272
Actually, no. That's the surprising part.
273
I go to bed at 9.30 p.m now, so I still get about 7.5 hours of sleep.
274
The T is going to bed earlier.
275
Oh, I see.
276
So you sleep same time, but different hours.
277
Almost.
278
Instead of you sleep same time, we say you sleep the same amount of time.
279
That means the total hours are the same.
280
And different hours is good.
281
Or you could say at a different time or at a different time.
282
Let me model it.
283
So you sleep the same amount of time but at different hours.
284
You try.
285
So you sleep the same amount of time but at different hours.
286
Perfect.
287
That's exactly right.
288
Exactly.
289
I still get enough sleep just shifted earlier.
290
Hmm, maybe I should try this too, but I don't know if I can do it.
291
You should try it.
292
Start with just one or two days a week.
293
You don't have to do it every day at first.
294
That's a good idea.
295
Maybe I would try on Saturday first.
296
Fizu, you said that's good idea.
297
We need A before good idea.
298
Say, that's a good idea.
299
That's a good idea.
300
Perfect.
301
Yeah, Saturday is perfect, because even if you feel tired, you can nap later.
302
Well, I should probably get going.
303
I have some errands to run.
304
It was so good seeing you.
305
Yes, it was nice to see you too.
306
Good luck with your 5 a.m routine.
307
Thanks, and let me know if you try it.
308
I will.
309
Bye.
310
Bye.
311
Okay, Fizu, that was excellent.
312
Let's talk about what we just practiced.
313
This is the kind of conversation you might have with a friend.
314
Casual, friendly, asking questions, showing interest.
315
Let me highlight some of the most useful phrases from that roleplay.
316
1. I haven't seen you in forever.
317
This is a really casual, friendly way to say you haven't seen someone in a long time.
318
Forever here is an exaggeration, but it sounds natural and warm.
319
2. Not gonna lie.
320
This is informal English for I'm not going to lie or to be honest.
321
We use it when we're about to say something truthful, maybe something a little negative.
322
Like, not gonna lie, the first week was really hard.
323
3. What about you?
324
This is the most natural way to turn the conversation to the other person.
325
After you talk about yourself, you say, what about you?
326
To invite them to share.
327
4. Kind of.
328
We use this when something is partially true, but not completely.
329
Do you have a morning routine?
330
Yes, kind of.
331
Means yes, sort of, but not really a strict one.
332
5. The key is.
333
This phrase is perfect when you want to explain the most important part of something.
334
The key is going to bed earlier, means that's the secret.
335
That's what makes it work.
336
Now, viewers, here's your challenge.
337
The next time you talk to someone in English, try to use what about you at least once in the conversation.
338
It's such a simple phrase, but it makes your English sound so much more natural and friendly.
339
Fizu, how do you feel about that conversation?
340
I feel good, but I made many mistakes with a and the.
341
I need to practice more.
342
You did make some mistakes, but you also corrected them beautifully every single time, and that's what learning is about.
343
Each time you practice, you get better.
344
I noticed that your questions got more natural as we went along.
345
That's real progress.
346
Okay, are you ready for our second situation?
347
This one's going to be a little different.
348
You'll be talking to a fitness trainer at a gym.
349
Okay, I'm ready.
350
Great job on that first roleplay, Fizu.
351
You learned how to talk about morning routines in a friendly, casual way with a friend.
352
But here's the thing.
353
The same topic can come up in completely different situations, and you need to know how to handle both.
354
So let me ask you this.
355
Have you ever been to a gym or a fitness center?
356
Yes, I go sometimes.
357
Not very often, but sometimes.
358
Perfect.
359
So imagine this.
360
A lot of personal trainers and fitness coaches are very interested in their clients' morning routines.
361
Why?
362
Because they know that what you do in the morning affects your energy, your motivation, and your workout performance.
363
So if you ever work with a trainer, they might ask you about your routine and give you advice on how to improve it.
364
Oh, I see.
365
So it's more professional conversation.
366
Exactly.
367
It's still friendly, but it's a bit more focused and goal-oriented.
368
The trainer is trying to help you build better habits.
369
They might give you suggestions, ask about your goals, and explain why certain morning habits are good for fitness and health.
370
Okay, I understand.
371
So I should answer more, more seriously?
372
Yes, more seriously, but still natural.
373
And the trainer might use words like routine, consistency, energy, goals, fitness vocabulary mixed with daily routine vocabulary.
374
Are you excited to try this?
375
Yes, I'm excited, but also a little nervous.
376
Warmly, don't be nervous.
377
Remember, every conversation is just practice.
378
Let's paint the picture for this next situation.
379
Okay, here's the scene.
380
You just joined a new gym, and today is your first meeting with your personal trainer.
381
You're sitting in the trainer's small office, there's a desk, some fitness posters on the wall showing exercises, and a water cooler in the corner.
382
The trainer is really friendly and professional.
383
They want to learn about your lifestyle so they can create the best fitness plan for you.
384
They're going to ask you about your morning routine, because they believe mornings are super important for staying healthy and building good habits.
385
You want to be honest and you're open to advice.
386
I'll be the trainer, and you're the new client.
387
Ready?
388
Ready.
389
Hi, welcome to FitLife Gym.
390
My name's Coach Sarah, and I'm so glad you're here.
391
First of all, congratulations on taking this step to improve your health.
392
Thank you.
393
I'm happy to be here.
394
Perfect.
395
So today, I just want to get to know you a little better so I can create a personalized plan for you.
396
Is that okay?
397
Yes, of course.
398
That's fine.
399
Great.
400
So let me start with this question.
401
What does your typical morning look like?
402
Walk me through it from the moment you wake up.
403
Um, okay.
404
I usually wake up at 7 o'clock, then I check my phone for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, then I brush my teeth and take a shower.
405
Okay, good.
406
So you wake up at 7.
407
Do you use an alarm or do you wake up naturally?
408
I use an alarm.
409
My phone alarm.
410
Breaking character, Fizu.
411
Just a small fix.
412
I use an alarm.
413
We need the article and before alarm.
414
Try again.
415
I use an alarm.
416
My phone alarm.
417
Perfect.
418
Back in character.
419
Got it.
420
And after you check your phone and shower, what's next?
421
Do you have breakfast?
422
Yes, I make breakfast.
423
Usually something simple like toast and coffee.
424
Okay.
425
And what time do you usually leave your house?
426
Around 8.30 because I start work at 9.
427
I see.
428
So you have about an hour and a half from wake up to leaving.
429
That's actually pretty good.
430
Now let me ask you this.
431
Do you exercise in the morning at all?
432
No, I don't do exercise in the morning.
433
I don't have time.
434
And also I feel very tired.
435
Good honest answer.
436
Just a small grammar note.
437
I don't do exercise in the morning we need the the before morning
438
when we're talking about mornings in general
439
and for i feel very tired that's perfect
440
but you could also say i feel too tired which emphasizes that you're so tired that that you can't exercise.
441
Try both.
442
I don't do exercise in the morning.
443
I feel too tired.
444
Excellent.
445
In character, okay, I understand.
446
You know what?
447
A lot of people feel that way, and it's completely normal.
448
But here's what I want to explain to you.
449
Morning exercise can actually give you more energy for the whole day, not less.
450
It seems backwards, right?
451
But it's true.
452
Really?
453
That sounds strange.
454
How is possible?
455
Almost.
456
How is possible needs the subject it or that.
457
Say, how is that possible?
458
Or how is it possible?
459
How is that possible?
460
Perfect.
461
In character, great question.
462
When you exercise in the morning, your body releases chemicals called endorphins.
463
These make you feel good and energized.
464
Also, exercise wakes up your brain and your muscles.
465
So even though it's hard at first, after about 20 minutes of movement, you actually feel more awake than if you just stayed in bed.
466
Hmm, interesting.
467
But I wake up at 7 and I need to leave at 8.30.
468
I don't think I have time for exercise.
469
Well, let me ask you this.
470
What if you woke up just 30 minutes earlier, at 6.30 instead of 7.
471
6.30?
472
That's early for me.
473
I know it sounds early, but think about it.
474
If you wake up at 6.30, you could do a 20-minute workout, take your shower, and still have time for breakfast,
475
and you'd feel amazing for the rest of the day.
476
What do you think?
477
Hmm.
478
Maybe I can try, but I'm not sure I can wake up that early.
479
I'm not morning person.
480
Breaking character, Fizu.
481
Almost there.
482
I'm not morning person needs a.
483
Say, I'm not a morning person.
484
I'm not a morning person.
485
Perfect.
486
In character, I hear that a lot.
487
And you know what?
488
Most people who say, I'm not a morning person, just haven't built the habit yet.
489
It takes about two weeks for your body to adjust.
490
Here's what I recommend.
491
This week, try waking up at 6.45, just 15 minutes earlier than usual.
492
Next week, move it to 6.30.
493
Small steps.
494
Okay, that sounds more easy.
495
I can try that.
496
Almost.
497
Instead of more easy, we say easier.
498
Remember comparatives?
499
Just like earlier, not more early.
500
Say it.
501
That sounds easier.
502
Yes, perfect.
503
Exactly.
504
Start small.
505
Now, let me ask another question.
506
What time do you usually go to bed at night?
507
Um, usually around 11.30 or midnight.
508
Okay, so if you're going to bed at midnight and waking up at 6.30, that's only six and a half hours of sleep.
509
That's not quite enough.
510
Most people need seven to eight hours.
511
So, here's my advice.
512
Try going to bed at 10.30 or 11.
513
Then you can wake up at 6.30 and still get good sleep.
514
You're right.
515
I think I should sleep earlier.
516
Breaking character, Fizu.
517
We don't say sleep earlier.
518
We say go to bed earlier or go to sleep earlier.
519
The phrase needs that verb, go to.
520
Try it.
521
I think I should go to bed earlier.
522
Perfect.
523
That sounds completely natural.
524
In character, exactly.
525
Going to bed earlier is the key.
526
Now, let me give you one more tip.
527
The night before, prepare your workout clothes and put them next to your bed.
528
When you wake up, you put them on immediately.
529
Don't think, just do it.
530
This little trick helps a lot of people actually start exercising in the morning.
531
Oh, that's a good idea.
532
So I don't need to think about what to wear.
533
Exactly.
534
You remove that decision.
535
The less you have to think in the morning, the easier it is.
536
Okay, so here's what I'm hearing.
537
You're willing to try waking up earlier, you understand that you need to go to bed earlier too, and you're open to morning exercise.
538
Is that right?
539
Yes, that's right.
540
I want to try it.
541
But I have one question.
542
What kind of exercise should do in the morning something hard
543
or something easy great question for the first week
544
or two i recommend something easy and enjoyable maybe a 15-minute walk outside
545
or some simple stretching and light exercises at home don't start with something super intense
546
or you'll feel too tired and you'll want to quit start easy build the habit
547
and then we can make it harder later okay that That makes sense.
548
I think walking is good for me to start.
549
Perfect.
550
Walking is excellent.
551
It's low impact, it's energizing, and anyone can do it.
552
Okay, so let me summarize your new morning routine plan.
553
Wake up at 6.45 this week, maybe 6.30 next week.
554
Do 15 to 20 minutes of walking or light exercise, shower, breakfast, and leave by 8.30 like normal,
555
and at night, go to bed by 10.30 or 11 instead of midnight.
556
Does that sound doable?
557
Yes, I think I can do that.
558
I will try my best.
559
That's exactly what I want to hear.
560
And remember, I'm here to support you.
561
If you have any problems or questions, just let me know.
562
We can always adjust the plan.
563
How do you feel?
564
I feel good.
565
I feel motivated.
566
That's perfect.
567
That's exactly how you should feel.
568
Alright, let's get you started on your fitness journey.
569
I'm excited for you.
570
Thank you, Coach Sarah.
571
You're welcome.
572
See you soon.
573
Excellent work, Fizu.
574
That was a completely different kind of conversation, wasn't it?
575
Yes.
576
In the first situation, I was asking questions to my friend.
577
In this situation, the trainer was asking me questions and giving me advice.
578
Exactly.
579
You noticed the difference perfectly.
580
In the first roleplay, you were the curious one asking about someone else's 5am routine.
581
In this second roleplay, someone was asking about your routine and helping you improve it.
582
Same topic, morning routines, but totally different contexts.
583
Now, let me highlight the most important phrases from that second roleplay.
584
We're going to focus on eight key words and phrases that you'll use all the time when talking about routines and habits.
585
First word, routine.
586
This is the most important word from today's episode.
587
Fizu, what do you think routine means?
588
I think it means the things you do every day, like a schedule.
589
Yes, exactly.
590
A routine is a sequence of actions that you do regularly, usually in the same order.
591
For example, my morning routine is wake up, shower, breakfast, and leave for work.
592
We can have a morning routine, a bedtime routine, an exercise routine, even a skin care routine.
593
Here's an example from our first role play.
594
I've started this new routine.
595
That means I've started a new set of regular habits.
596
And from the second role play, what does your typical morning routine look like?
597
Can you use routine in a sentence about yourself?
598
Um, my evening routine is dinner, watch TV, and go to bed.
599
Perfect.
600
That's a great sentence.
601
Now, one common mistake.
602
Learners sometimes say, I make my routine or I do my routine.
603
But the most natural way is, I follow my routine or I stick to my routine.
604
Remember that.
605
Second phrase, the first thing I do is.
606
We used this one a lot today.
607
Fizu, can you explain what this means?
608
Yes, it means the action you do before any other action in the morning.
609
Exactly right.
610
We use this structure all the time when describing routines.
611
Notice the grammar.
612
The first thing I do is base verb.
613
For example, from our roleplay, the first thing I do is drink a big glass of water.
614
Another example, the first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes.
615
Viewers, this phrase is super useful because people always ask, what's the first thing you do when… when you wake up,
616
when you get home, when you arrive at work?
617
Fizu, give me an example.
618
The first thing I do when I wake up is… check my phone.
619
Honest answer.
620
Perfect grammar.
621
Third phrase, to wake up versus to get up.
622
These are similar but different.
623
Fizu, do you know the difference?
624
Hmm.
625
I think wake up is when you open your eyes, and get up is when you leave the bed.
626
You are absolutely correct.
627
Wake up is the moment you stop sleeping, your eyes open, you become conscious.
628
Get up is when you physically leave the bed and stand up.
629
So you might wake up at 7, but you don't get up until 7.15 because you're lying in bed checking your phone.
630
We use both in conversations about routines.
631
From our roleplay, I wake up at 7, but I stay in bed for 10 or 15 minutes.
632
That means you wake up, but don't get up immediately.
633
Now, fourth word, energized or energy.
634
This came up in the second role play.
635
What does this mean, Fizu?
636
Energy is the power to do things, when you feel strong and active.
637
Perfect definition.
638
Energy is the physical and mental strength to be active.
639
Energized is the adjective.
640
It means full of energy.
641
From the role play, exercise makes you feel energized, means it makes you feel active and strong.
642
The opposite would be tired or drained.
643
Here's a useful sentence.
644
I have no energy in the morning.
645
Many people say this.
646
Or coffee gives me energy.
647
Can you make a sentence?
648
I feel more energized after I drink coffee.
649
Excellent.
650
Very natural sentence.
651
Fifth phrase, to adjust or to get used to.
652
These mean almost the same thing.
653
When the trainer said it takes about two weeks for your body to adjust, what did that mean?
654
It means your body needs time to become comfortable with the new routine.
655
Yes, perfect.
656
To adjust means to adapt or change in order to fit a new situation.
657
To get used to is very similar.
658
It means to become comfortable with something new.
659
I'm not used to waking up early, or my body adjusted to the new schedule after two weeks.
660
Common mistake, don't say I'm not used to.
661
It's I'm not used to with a D.
662
Sixth phrase, not gonna lie.
663
This is very casual, informal English.
664
We used it in the first roleplay.
665
What do you think it means, Fizu?
666
I think it means to be honest.
667
Exactly!
668
Not gonna lie is short for I'm not going to lie, and it means to be honest, or I'll tell you the truth.
669
We use it before saying something that might be negative or surprising.
670
From the roleplay, not gonna lie, the first week was really hard.
671
It's like saying I'm being honest with you, the first week was hard.
672
This phrase is very common in casual conversation, especially among younger people.
673
But remember, it's informal.
674
Don't use it in professional or formal situations.
675
Seventh word, discipline or disciplined.
676
The noun is discipline, which means self-control and the ability to do things even when they're difficult.
677
The adjective is disciplined.
678
From our roleplay, you are a very disciplined person means you have strong self-control and you stick to your commitments.
679
It takes discipline to wake up at 5am every day.
680
Can you use it?
681
I want to be more disciplined with my exercise routine.
682
Perfect!
683
That's a great goal-setting sentence.
684
Eighth phrase, to stick to something.
685
This means to continue following a plan or routine without stopping.
686
I stick to my morning routine every day, or it's hard to stick to a diet.
687
The opposite would be to give up or to quit.
688
From our second roleplay context, if you want to build a 5am habit, you need to stick to it for at least two weeks.
689
Fizu, can you use this phrase?
690
Um, I try to stick to my bedtime, but sometimes I stay up late.
691
That's a very honest and very natural sentence.
692
Perfect usage.
693
Okay, viewers, those are eight super important words and phrases for talking about routines, habits, and daily life.
694
Practice using them this week.
695
Alright, now let's talk about four practical speaking tips based on everything we learned today.
696
These tips will help you sound more natural and confident when talking about daily routines.
697
Tip number one, use time phrases naturally.
698
When describing your routine, don't just say the time.
699
Add words like usually, normally, around, about, or roughly.
700
Instead of saying, I wake up at 7, say, I usually wake up around 7 or I normally wake up at about 7.
701
This sounds much more natural because routines aren't always exact.
702
From our roleplay, you heard, I usually wake up at 7 o'clock and I go to bed at around 11.30.
703
These little words make your English sound fluent and realistic.
704
Try it this week.
705
Tip number two, ask follow-up questions.
706
When someone tells you about their routine, don't just say, oh, okay, and end the conversation.
707
Ask more questions.
708
Why do you do that?
709
How long have you been doing that?
710
Do you do it every day?
711
What made you start?
712
These questions show genuine interest and keep the conversation going naturally.
713
In our first roleplay, you asked, why do you do that?
714
And how do you wake up?
715
These were great follow-up questions that made the conversation feel real.
716
Tip number three.
717
Use comparison words when talking about changes.
718
If you're describing how your routine has changed or how you want to change it, use words like earlier, later,
719
more, less, longer, or shorter.
720
For example, I want to wake up earlier.
721
I'm sleeping less than before.
722
I spend more time exercising now.
723
From our second roleplay, what if you woke up just 30 minutes earlier.
724
This kind of comparison language is super useful for discussing improvements and goals.
725
Tip number four.
726
Practice the acknowledge and expand technique.
727
When someone gives you advice or information, don't just say OK or yes.
728
Acknowledge what they said and then add your own thought or question.
729
For example, instead of OK, say OK, that makes sense, but what about weekends?
730
Or instead of yes, say, yes, I understand.
731
I think I can try that.
732
From our roleplay, you said, that sounds easier.
733
I can try that.
734
And that makes sense.
735
This made the conversation feel engaged and natural.
736
Remember, viewers, the goal isn't perfection, it's progress.
737
Every time you practice these tips, you're building confidence and fluency.
738
Okay, let's wrap up today's episode.
739
Fizu, can you remind everyone what our main topic was today?
740
Yes, today we talked about morning routines, especially the 5 a.m routine.
741
We learned how to talk about waking up early, daily habits, and how to ask people about their routines.
742
Perfect summary, and we practiced two different situations.
743
Can you describe them?
744
Yes, in the first situation, I was at a coffee shop talking to a friend who started waking up at 5 a.m.
745
I was asking questions because I was curious about their new routine.
746
In the second situation, I was at a gym talking to a personal trainer who was asking me about my morning routine
747
and giving me advice on how to improve it.
748
Excellent.
749
And what were some of the most important phrases we learned today?
750
We learned, the first thing I do is, and I'm not a morning person, and to adjust and to stick to a routine.
751
Also, not going to lie for casual conversation.
752
You remembered everything.
753
I'm so impressed.
754
Now, Fizu, tell me honestly, how do you feel now compared to when we started this episode?
755
I feel much more confident.
756
At the beginning, I wasn't sure how to talk about routines in English, but now I know so many useful phrases.
757
I made some mistakes, but I learned from them.
758
My favorite new phrase is, the first thing I do is, because I can use it all the time.
759
That's wonderful.
760
And you know what I noticed?
761
Your question forming got so much better during this episode.
762
At first, you were forgetting the do in questions like why you do that, but by the end, you were saying, how do you wake up?
763
Perfectly.
764
That's real progress, Fizu.
765
Thank you, Masu.
766
I'm really happy with my progress today.
767
You should be proud.
768
Okay, everyone, that's our summary.
769
We talked about 5 a.m routines, practiced two different real-life situations, one casual with a friend and one professional with a trainer,
770
and learned tons of useful vocabulary and phrases.
771
Thank you so much for joining us today on Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.
772
We really hope you enjoyed this conversation and learned something useful.
773
Whether you're a 5 a.m person or a please don't talk to me before 9am person,
774
the important thing is that you now know how to talk about morning routines confidently in English.
775
Here's something I want you to remember.
776
Everyone who speaks English fluently today started exactly where you are right now.
777
They made mistakes, they practiced, they improved little by little.
778
And you're doing exactly the same thing.
779
Keep practicing, keep learning, and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
780
That's how we grow.
781
Now here's your daily practice challenge for today.
782
Think about your own morning routine.
783
Then practice describing it out loud in English using the phrase, the first thing I do is, and at least three other phrases we learned today.
784
Talk to yourself, record yourself on your phone, or practice with a friend.
785
Just use the language.
786
That's how it becomes natural.
787
And before we go, we'd love to hear from you.
788
Please subscribe to our channel if you haven't already really helps us create more episodes like this one for you.
789
And leave a comment telling us what time do you usually wake up in the morning?
790
Are you a morning person or a night person?
791
We read all the comments and we love hearing from you.
792
If you have a friend who's also learning English, share this episode with them.
793
Learning together is always more fun.
794
Yes.
795
And I want to say thank you to everyone for listening today.
796
I learned so much and hope you did too.
797
I'm going to practice my morning routine vocabulary every day this week.
798
Maybe I'll even try waking up earlier.
799
Okay, maybe not 5 a.m., but maybe 6.30.
800
That's the spirit, Fizu.
801
Small steps, remember?
802
Yes, small steps.
803
Good luck with your English learning, everyone.
804
Keep practicing.
805
Until next time, keep speaking up and never stop learning.

この動画で話す練習をする理由
朝のルーティンを話すことは、英語での日常会話で最も頻繁に使われる場面のひとつです。新しい人と会ったとき、友達とチャットするとき、旅行中にも「朝は何をしていますか？」「何時に起きますか？」と聞かれることが多いでしょう。この動画では、友達とのカジュアルな会話からパーソナルトレーナーとのアドバイス session まで、実生活で即戦力のあるシチュエーションを練習できます。shadowspeaks や 英語シャドーイング でこの会話を真似して話すことで、自然な発音と流暢さが手に入り、IELTS スピーキング対策 にも役立ちますよ。
文脈の中で学ぶ文法と表現
動画の中で使われている便利な表現をピックアップしました。
- 「I'm not a morning person」：「朝型人間ではない」という意味で、「朝早く起きるのが苦手」を自然に伝えるフレーズです。「I am a very sleepy person」よりもネイティブっぽい表現です。
- 「When your alarm goes off」：「目覚ましが鳴るとき」というフレーズ。「go off」は「（アラームや電話が）鳴る」という意味で、日常会話でよく使われます。
- 「dive into」：「飛び込む」「深入りする」という意味で、「さっそく始める」ときに使えます。「Let's dive into today's conversation」は「さっそく今日の会話に入りましょう」というニュアンスです。
発音の注意点
ネイティブの発音には慣れないと聞き取りにくい部分があります。
- 「routine」：「ルーティン」と発音する人が多いですが、正しくは「ルーティーン」（最後に「ーン」の音があります）。動画では「morning routines」と言っていますので、shadow speak で真似してみてください。
- 「sleepy」：「眠たい」という意味で、「slee-py」と2音節で発音します。「sleepy person」は「眠たい人」ではなく、「朝起きにくい人」というニュアンスがあります。
この動画を使って shadowing site で繰り返し練習すれば、すぐに実践で使える英語が身につきます。朝のルーティンを話すだけでなく、自信を持って会話できるようになること間違いなしです！

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。
