Hey everyone!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk.
3
Yes!
4
We are so happy you are here with us today.
5
If you want to keep learning English with us, right now.
6
It really helps our channel grow.
7
And today's lesson is a good one.
8
We're talking about two little words that confuse almost every English learner.
9
Exactly, Tom.
10
For and since.
11
Oh, Lily.
12
Don't get me started on this one.
13
If this is your first time watching, welcome to the family.
14
We make a new English lesson every single day.
15
Every day.
16
Rain or shine, even when Tom forgets his lines.
17
Which happens more than you think.
18
It's true.
19
Don't judge me.
20
What?
21
What happened?
22
Well, actually, something happened to me this week because of these two words.
23
Wait, really?
24
Yeah, it wasn't great.
25
Okay, now I need to know, what happened?
26
Let's just say I sent a text message to someone important and I used the wrong word.
27
Just one word.
28
One word changed everything?
29
One word.
30
And that person has not replied to me yet.
31
Okay, everyone watching, here's a question for you.
32
Tom sent a message using for or since in the wrong way, and it caused a big misunderstanding.
33
Before we tell you the story, guess this.
34
Who do you think Tom sent that message to?
35
This is going to be embarrassing.
36
Write your guess in the comments below.
37
We won't tell you the answer.
38
You'll have to watch and figure it out yourself.
39
Good luck!
40
Okay, so tell me everything.
41
What happened with this text message?
42
Okay, so you know I've been living in my new apartment now, right?
43
Yes, the one with the tiny kitchen.
44
The one with the tiny kitchen, exactly.
45
So my landlord, Mr. Baker, he messaged me asking how long I've been living there.
46
He wanted it for some paperwork.
47
Okay, simple question.
48
You would think so.
49
So I wanted to say I have lived here since March because I moved in in March, right?
50
Right, since March, that's correct.
51
But instead, I typed, I have lived here for March. For March? For March.
52
Like March is a length of time.
53
Tom, March isn't a duration.
54
It's a point in time.
55
I know that now, but at the time, I was cooking dinner, texting with one hand, and my brain just mixed the words up.
56
So what did Mr. Baker say?
57
He wrote back, I'm sorry, I don't understand.
58
Do you mean since March or for a specific number of months?
59
Oh no, he was confused. So confused.
60
And then I tried to fix it, but I made it worse.
61
Worse?
62
How?
63
I wrote, sorry, I mean since two months.
64
Since two months, Tom?
65
No!
66
I know.
67
Since doesn't go with a number of months like that.
68
I panicked!
69
Oh my goodness, so now he thinks you don't know how long you've lived in your own apartment.
70
Basically, yes, and that's why he hasn't replied yet.
71
I think he's still trying to understand my timeline.
72
Okay, well, don't worry, because today we are going to fix this problem for you, and for everyone watching, too.
73
Please, save me from my landlord's confusion.
74
That's exactly what we're going to do.
75
Okay, so let's break this down simply.
76
For and since both talk about time, but they answer different questions.
77
Different questions?
78
Like what?
79
For answers the question, how long?
80
It talks about a period of time, a duration.
81
So like for two months, for five years, for a long time.
82
Exactly!
83
is always followed by a length of time, a number of minutes, days, months, years.
84
Okay, I think I understand that part.
85
Good!
86
Now, since is different.
87
Since answers the question, when did it start?
88
It talks about a starting point.
89
Starting point, like a specific moment.
90
Yes!
91
Since March, since 2020, since Monday, since I woke up.
92
Oh, so since is always connected to a moment in time, not a length of time.
93
Exactly.
94
You got it.
95
So my mistake was I used for with March, which is a specific point, not a duration.
96
Yes, that's the mistake.
97
And then you used since with two months, which is a duration, not a point.
98
I basically used both words backwards.
99
You really did.
100
But hey, that's how we learn.
101
Ah, poor Mr. Baker. So confused.
102
Let's give everyone a simple trick to remember this.
103
Yes, please.
104
I need a trick.
105
If you can count it, like, two months, five years, ten minutes, use four.
106
Okay.
107
Four plus a number.
108
Exactly.
109
And if it's a specific time or date, like, March, Monday, 2020, or an event, like, since I moved here, use since.
110
Since plus a starting point.
111
That's actually pretty simple when you explain it like that.
112
It really is.
113
Both words are used with the present perfect tense usually, like, I have lived, she has worked, we have known.
114
Present perfect, right, because the action started in the past and continues now.
115
Exactly, that connects everything together.
116
Okay, let's go through some examples together with real stories so it really sticks in your memory.
117
I love a good story.
118
First example.
119
I have known my best friend for 10 years.
120
10 years.
121
Wow.
122
Who's your best friend?
123
Her name is Hannah.
124
We met in university and we have been close for 10 years now.
125
That's a long friendship.
126
It really is.
127
We still call each other every week.
128
And notice I said four 10 years because 10 years is a length of time, a duration.
129
Right, because you can count it.
130
One year, two years, all the way to 10.
131
Exactly.
132
Now you try, Tom.
133
Make a sentence with four.
134
Okay, um, I have had my car for three years.
135
Perfect.
136
That's a great example.
137
Actually, my car has had more problems for three years, too.
138
Oh no, is it breaking down again?
139
The check engine light has been on for two weeks.
140
I just ignore it now.
141
Oh, Tom, that's dangerous!
142
It's fine, it's fine.
143
Probably.
144
Okay, next example.
145
I have lived in this city since 2019. Since 2019?
146
That's when you moved here?
147
Yes.
148
I moved here in 2019, and I've been here ever since.
149
So, since 2019 tells us exactly when it started.
150
That makes sense.
151
So, it's a fixed point, not a length.
152
Exactly.
153
Your turn.
154
Make a sentence with since.
155
Okay, I have worked at my job since last September.
156
Great sentence!
157
And since that day, my boss still doesn't know my last name.
158
What?
159
How is that possible?
160
I don't know.
161
Every time he sees me, he just says, Hey you!
162
Like I'm a stranger.
163
Tom, that's actually really funny.
164
Yeah, hilarious for you.
165
Not for my paycheck confidence.
166
Okay, okay, let's continue.
167
Here's another one.
168
For a while, for a long time, for ages.
169
Those don't have exact numbers, though.
170
Right, but they still describe a duration, even if it's not exact.
171
Like, I haven't seen my cousin for ages.
172
Oh, I can use that.
173
I haven't eaten real pizza for ages.
174
Only frozen pizza.
175
Tom, frozen pizza isn't real pizza?
176
It's pizza-shaped cardboard, Lily.
177
That's different.
178
Okay, fair point.
179
Since can also connect to an action or event, not just a date, like, I've been so happy since I got my new job.
180
So since plus a full sentence.
181
Yes, exactly.
182
Since I got my new job is the starting event.
183
Okay, let me try.
184
I've been more relaxed since I stopped checking my phone at night.
185
I love that example.
186
That's very true. And healthy.
187
Actually, that's not true at all.
188
I check my phone constantly.
189
Tom!
190
I'm kidding.
191
I'm kidding.
192
Well, half kidding.
193
Now let's put it all together.
194
Imagine someone asks you, you, how long have you studied English?
195
I could say, I have studied English for five years.
196
Perfect, because five years is a duration.
197
Or I could say, I have studied English since I was 15.
198
Exactly right, because since I was 15 is a starting point.
199
Wow, so the meaning is almost the same, but the grammar is different because of how we're describing the time.
200
Exactly.
201
And that's the whole secret.
202
Ask yourself, is this a length of time or a starting point?
203
Length of time for, starting point since.
204
Got it.
205
Now you'll never confuse your poor landlord again.
206
Please don't remind me.
207
I still feel guilty about Mr. Baker.
208
I'm sure he'll forgive you.
209
I hope so.
210
I really like that apartment.
211
Okay, let's do a quick recap of what we learned today.
212
For is used with a length of time, a duration, like for two years, for a while, for ten minutes.
213
And since is used with a specific starting point, like a date, a time, or an event.
214
Since 2020, since Monday, since I woke up.
215
And both are usually used with the present perfect tense, because the action started in the past and continues now.
216
Exactly!
217
If you remember just one thing from today, remember this.
218
Can you count it?
219
Use 4.
220
Is it a starting point?
221
Use since.
222
Simple as that.
223
And I'm proud of you for learning this today, because so many English learners mix these up.
224
Even some Toms mix these up too, apparently.
225
Even some Toms, yes!
226
Okay, now it's your turn.
227
In the comments below, write one sentence using 4, and one sentence using since.
228
Tell us how long you've been learning English or when you started.
229
We really want to read your sentences, so don't be shy.
230
Write them down.
231
And don't forget, what's your guess about question from earlier?
232
Who do you think Tom sent that confusing text message to?
233
Please be gentle with your guesses.
234
We'll see all your comments, so make sure to join the conversation.
235
Well, that's it for today's lesson, everyone.
236
We hope for and since make a lot more since now.
237
And we hope you had fun with us too.

  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, duration, confuse, learner 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

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.
