1
Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about slang.
2
Slang is the term we use to refer to newer words, words that often aren't in any dictionaries yet, although they do make it there eventually.
3
As a high school teacher, I'm able to learn new slang words sooner than most people
4
because I have a lot of young people in my classes and they're the ones who usually invent the words.
5
The 12 words that I'm going to teach you today, the 12 slang words, are very common.
6
You might know some of them, but I'm sure some of them will be very new.
7
The first English slang word I want to teach you is the word lit.
8
When you say something is lit, it means it is amazing.
9
It means that you really, really like it.
10
If I say this pizza is lit, it means it tastes good.
11
It means I'm enjoying eating it.
12
If I say the new Spider-Man movie is lit, it means that movie, in my opinion, is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
13
So when you say something is lit, it means it is amazing.
14
Before we continue, I do want to thank Preply, the sponsor of this video.
15
Preply is a great place to find an English speaking partner
16
and also a great place to learn new slang from that English speaking partner.
17
And if you use the link in the description below today, you'll get 50% off your first lesson.
18
The second English slang word I want to teach you is the word mid.
19
If you say something is mid, it means it's just average.
20
It's not amazing, but it's not bad.
21
Using the previous examples, I could say this.
22
This pizza is mid.
23
This pizza is kind of mid.
24
It means it's not horrible, but it's certainly not amazing or excellent.
25
But maybe it's just doing the job and satisfying my hunger.
26
If I say the new movie is mid, it wasn't an amazing movie, but it obviously wasn't a bad movie either.
27
So when you say something is mid, it's just kind of in the middle.
28
I think that's where the word came from.
29
It's just kind of mid.
30
It's not amazing, but it's not bad.
31
The third English slang word I want to teach you today is the word fire.
32
When you say something is fire, it means it's cool, it's good, it's impressive.
33
Think of your favorite singer.
34
When they put out a new song and you really, really like it, you could use the word fire to describe it.
35
You could say Ed Sheeran's new song is fire.
36
what you're saying is it's good, it's impressive, his musicianship is amazing, I love listening to that song, that song is fire.
37
So in English if you say something is fire it simply means it's good, it's cool, it's amazing, it's impressive.
38
The fourth English slang word I want to teach you is actually an acronym and it's the word the GOAT.
39
An acronym is a word where each letter stands for another word.
40
If you say someone is the GOAT, it means they're the greatest of all time.
41
Each letter in the word GOAT stands for another word.
42
If you're familiar with American basketball, a player named Michael Jordan is considered the GOAT.
43
He no longer plays, he's retired, but he is the greatest of all time.
44
In my opinion, I think this is true.
45
If you watch football, you might have a bigger argument about this.
46
If I said Messi is the GOAT, it means I think Messi is the greatest footballer of all time.
47
greatest of all time.
48
So if you think someone is the goat, maybe a singer or an athlete or an actor or actress, you're simply saying they are the greatest of all time.
49
They're the best at doing that thing above everyone else in the world.
50
The fifth slang word is the word sus, which is I think a short form of the word suspicious.
51
If a student comes to me and says my dog ate my homework, I would say that that student's excuse is very sus.
52
It's very suspicious.
53
I don't really believe students when they tell me that.
54
So when you say something is sus, it means it's suspicious.
55
It means you doubt whether it is true.
56
So if someone says to you, I watched all the Lord of the Rings movies in one night, you might think that's a little bit sus because that is a lot of,
57
that's a lot of hours.
58
I think that would be nine hours of watching movies.
59
that would be a little bit sus.
60
I think that would be difficult for someone to do.
61
So if someone says something is sus, it simply means it's suspicious and you wonder if what they're saying is actually true.
62
The sixth slang word I want to teach you is the word flex.
63
And this can be used as a verb to flex or as a noun, a flex.
64
If I said to someone, I have 2.5 million subscribers on my YouTube channel, I would be flexing.
65
Flexing, the original meaning means to flex your muscles, but we now use it to describe someone who is bragging,
66
someone who is making themselves look really, really good.
67
So I could say it in two ways.
68
If someone says, I'm the best player on my football team, they are flexing, and you could say that's a flex.
69
I've used it both as a verb and as a noun.
70
So when you flex, or when you say that something is a flex.
71
It means the person is bragging about something they've done or something they've accomplished.
72
Before we continue with this English lesson, I do want to once again thank Preply, the sponsor of this video.
73
In my opinion, the best way to learn new slang words is to have an English-speaking partner, and Preply is a great place to find someone.
74
When you're learning words like new slang words, it's sometimes not that easy to find a definition online.
75
And even if you do, there might be some nuances,
76
there might be some little explanations you need so you know exactly how to use that new slang word.
77
That's where a tutor from Preply comes in.
78
A tutor from Preply is an English speaker.
79
They will be familiar with how to use the word lit and how to use the word mid, and they can explain it to you clearly so that you can use those slang words yourself.
80
And if you use the link in the description below today, you'll get 50% off your first lesson.
81
So take my advice.
82
Go to Preply.
83
Look for an English speaking partner that can help you with a whole variety of things.
84
They can help you learn English for business, learn English for a trip abroad, learn English because you need to take a test and help you learn a few more slang words.
85
The seventh slang word I want to teach you is the word locked in.
86
I guess it's more of a phrase.
87
If someone is locked in, it means they're extremely focused.
88
When I do a live English lesson on Fridays, I'm locked in.
89
Sometimes when students need to study for a test, they'll turn off their phone so that they can be locked in, so they can focus completely on their studies.
90
So if someone says they're locked in, or if you describe someone as locked in, they're extremely focused on what they're doing.
91
The eighth English slang word I wanted to teach you today is the word vibe.
92
And this can either have a positive or negative meaning.
93
If something has a good vibe, it means that place or activity gives you a good feeling.
94
If something has a bad vibe or a negative vibe, it means it gives you like a bad feeling.
95
It doesn't make you feel good.
96
Tim Hortons is a coffee shop here in Canada.
97
And if you go into a Tim Hortons, it has a good vibe.
98
It's decorated nicely.
99
Usually the restaurant is very clean and it's very enjoyable to go there
100
and have a cup of tea or a cup of coffee.
101
It has a good vibe.
102
When I do my live English lessons, the members give it a good vibe.
103
I try to be positive and uplifting when I talk and when I teach the lessons, but the members make the chat just a nice place to be.
104
It has a good vibe.
105
But you can also have things that have a bad vibe.
106
Maybe you go to a store and there's lots of teenagers hanging around out front and it gives it a bad vibe.
107
It's kind of a negative experience.
108
So when something has a vibe, it's the feeling that you get when you're there.
109
A good vibe is good, a bad vibe, not so good.
110
The ninth slang word I wanted to teach you today is the word vibing.
111
When you are vibing, it simply means you are relaxing and you're enjoying the place where you are at.
112
Last week I went to the farmer's market with Jen to help out, but there weren't a lot of customers.
113
There wasn't a lot of work to do.
114
So I spent some time sitting in my lawn chair, vibing.
115
I watched people go by, I went on my phone for a bit, I had an enjoyable conversation or two with Jen and the occasional customer.
116
I was simply enjoying being at market.
117
I was vibing.
118
The 10th slang word I want to teach you today is the word cringe.
119
When you say something is cringe, it means it's embarrassing or awkward or uncomfortable to watch or look at.
120
The best example I could give for this is how my children react
121
when I wear really old clothes that I should have thrown out.
122
If I wear a really old pair of shorts from 1992, my kids are like, Dad, that's so cringe.
123
It has a hole in the leg and it's, it just is not in style anymore.
124
It's awkward.
125
It's embarrassing.
126
It's uncomfortable for me to see you dress like that.
127
So when you say something is cringe, it means exactly that.
128
It's how older people dress when they wear clothes from 25 years ago that probably should have been thrown out.
129
It's awkward.
130
It makes you uncomfortable to look at and it's just kind of embarrassing.
131
The 11th slang word I want to teach you today isn't actually a word and there's two of them.
132
It's the letter W and the letter L.
133
When you say something is a W, it means it's a positive thing.
134
It means it's a win or that person is a winner.
135
If my brother says to me, I got a promotion at work, I might say, wow, that's a W for you.
136
That's a win.
137
That's a positive thing in your life.
138
And of course, we have the opposite, an L.
139
If someone said to me, I took an English test and I failed, it was a big L for me.
140
It means it was a loss.
141
It doesn't mean they're a loser.
142
I think it's easy to say someone's a winner.
143
I don't like calling people losers, but that also starts with L, doesn't it?
144
So two letters, the letter W for something positive.
145
That's a real W for you.
146
Oh, you got a new car.
147
That's a W for you.
148
Or, oh, wow, your car broke down.
149
That's a big L.
150
The 12th slang word I want to teach you today is the word ghost.
151
Actually, the verb to ghost.
152
When you ghost someone, it means you stop responding to a communication that was happening, a message that was going back and forth.
153
If I text Jen and then she texts me back
154
and then I text her and then she doesn't respond for four or five days, Jen is ghosting me.
155
She has decided to ghost me.
156
It's like she's turned into a ghost and no longer responds.
157
It's considered quite rude, by the way.
158
And Jen and I don't ever ghost each other, but I think you understand the example.
159
Well, thank you
160
so much for watching this English lesson where I hope you learned 12 new slang words
161
that you can use in your next English conversation.
162
Although maybe don't use them all in the same conversation.
163
Maybe just drop them into a conversation here and there.
164
Before I go, I do want to once again thank Preply, the sponsor of this video.
165
Again, Preply is a great place to find an English-speaking partner, someone that can help you learn English in the way you need to learn it, and hopefully you can learn some more slang along the way.
166
If this is your first time here, don't forget to click the red subscribe button, give me a thumbs up, leave a comment.
167
I have been responding to all comments for the last couple of weeks.
168
I would love to hear from you, and I'll see you next week with another English lesson.
169
Bye.

이 레슨에서 연습할 내용

이번 레슨에서는 영어 슬랭을 배우고, 실제 대화에서 자연스럽게 사용하는 방법을 연습해요. 비디오에서 소개된 12개의 슬랭 중 주요 5개를 집중적으로 다루고, 이를 활용한 발음과 말하기 연습을 통해 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 도움을 받을 수 있어요. 특히 슬랭은 일상 대화에서 자주 쓰이기 때문에, shadowing을 통해 발음과 리듬을 익히면 실제 의사소통에서 더 자신감을 가질 수 있답니다.

핵심 어휘 및 표현

  • lit: "멋지다", "훌륭하다"라는 뜻으로, 피자나 영화를 설명할 때 사용해요. 예: "This pizza is lit!" (이 피자 진짜 멋져!)
  • mid: "보통이다", "중간 정도"라는 뜻으로, 평범한 것을 표현할 때 써요. 예: "The movie is mid." (그 영화 그저 그래.)
  • fire: "멋지다", "훌륭하다"로, 노래나 물건을 칭찬할 때 사용해요. 예: "Ed Sheeran's new song is fire." (에드 시런의 신곡 진짜 멋져.)
  • GOAT: "Greatest of All Time"의 약자로, "역대 최고"를 뜻해요. 예: "Messi is the GOAT." (메시는 역대 최고야.)
  • sus: "suspicious"의 줄임말로, "수상하다"라는 뜻이에요. 예: "His excuse is sus." (그의 변명 수상해.)

연습 팁: Shadowing을 잘하는 방법

비디오의 말하기 속도는 평범한 일상 대화 수준이어서 shadowing에 적합해요. shadowing site에서 비디오를 재생하면서, 발화자와 같은 속도와 톤으로 따라 말해보세요. 특히 슬랭은 발음이 짧고 강조가 중요하기 때문에, "lit"이나 "fire"와 같은 단어는 높은 톤으로, "mid"는 낮은 톤으로 발음하는 게 자연스러워요. shadow speech를 할 때는 문장 전체의 리듬을 따라가는 것이 중요해요. IELTS 스피킹에서도 슬랭을 적절히 사용하면 대화가 더 자연스러워 보이니, 일상에서 자주 연습해보세요. shadowspeaks나 shadow speak 방법을 사용하여, 1문장씩 반복하며 발음과 억양을 정확히 익히면 좋아요. 매일 10분씩 연습하면, 1주일 안에 슬랭을 자연스럽게 사용할 수 있을 거예요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
