Hello everyone and welcome to the QLips English podcast.

My name is Andrew and if you're new here, QLips is a podcast for people who are learning English.

This is our simplified speech series and in this series, my co -hosts and I have real conversations in clear,

natural English that's just a little easier to follow.

And if we say an expression or a word or some culture comes up that might be new to you,

then we stop and explain it so that you can improve your English fluency.

Now, this is episode number 255, and we're talking about Halloween today.

Halloween is just around the corner, and that's what Indiana, my co -host, and I are going to discuss in this episode.

We'll get started with our conversation in a second, but before we do, I want to say something

because I live here in South Korea and for many Korean people and for me as well,

Halloween is a hard time of the year because of the terrible tragedy that happened a few years back,

the Itaewon crowd crush accident in 2022.

So on that night, a lot of young people lost their lives and actually,

to be honest, I haven't really celebrated Halloween since that time.

So my thoughts are really with everyone who lost someone on that horrible night.

However, Halloween is still a huge part of North American culture.

And teaching you about culture is a big part of what we do here at Q -Lips.

It's even in our name.

The C -U -L part of Q -Lips stands for culture.

Quiz question.

Do you know what the remaining part?

Well, it's kind of a blended word.

C -U -L for culture and L -I -P -S for lips, Q -L -I -P -S.

So we teach you about speaking English with your lips and also about the culture of English -speaking people.

And I have a lot of good memories about Halloween from growing up in Canada.

And so that's what Indiana and I are going to focus on more today.

Indiana, of course, lives in upstate

New York and Halloween is a big deal there.

So even if you didn't grow up with it,

this is a good episode for you because Indiana is going to tell us all about how she celebrates Halloween.

And I'll chip in with some memories that I have of celebrating Halloween as well.

And I think this will be a really fun episode.

And don't forget to follow along with the transcript and do the quiz after you listen.

You can do all of that in the QLips app,

and the link to check out the lesson in the app is in the description for this episode.

Okay, with that being said, it's time to get started with the conversation.

I hope you enjoy it.

Here we go.

joining me now all the way from new york state usa is my co -host indiana hello indiana how's

it going hey andrew happy spooky season it's almost halloween here and yeah i hope you're enjoying October there in Seoul.

Yeah, absolutely.

It's one of my favorite times of the year.

The weather is finally becoming bearable.

During the summer, it was just so hot this year and all the way into September, I felt like it was too hot.

And even like up until a week ago or so, I felt like it was too hot.

But finally, now that we're well into October, the temperature has dropped and the fall weather has just been beautiful.

So I love this time of the year.

I got to say, I think fall is my favorite season.

How about you?

Do you like fall as well?

I kind of have a feeling you're a fall person.

I definitely do.

As long as it's before the daylight savings ending time change, then it's all good.

But once that hits, I feel like it's winter and it's depressing.

But yeah, summer and fall are definitely my favorite seasons reasons.

Yeah, I guess maybe we could start our conversation just by talking about a basic question.

Do you enjoy Halloween?

Is it something that you look forward to?

Do you celebrate?

Do you participate?

What are your just general thoughts about Halloween?

I think it is so much fun to see all of the decorations.

People go so hard in at least the Northeast, I'm sure all over the country

but in my neighborhoods uh in my city all over the place in upstate new york you will see

so many front lawn decorations from like cute orange string lights to animatronic like

witches or monsters that if you walk by the front doorstep of someone's house,

they get triggered by the motion and start making horrible sounds or moving.

People spend so much money on these decorations.

And it's a lot of fun to see the neighborhoods liven up and get so festive like this.

It's similar to Christmas time where you see all the Christmas decorations, but some of those are really tacky, I find.

And I'm like, I don't know.

There's a lot of bad Christmas decorations.

The lights are nice, but Halloween is cool.

There's a lot of really spooky decorations

and it's fun to see the leaves change in color and then also all these cool decorations coming out onto people's lawns.

So I love that as an adult.

I mean, I don't, I'm not so creative about costumes.

I just can't seem to want to find the time to come up with a couple's costume for me and my husband.

We always go to our friend's Halloween party every year.

I've tried my best to be creative, but it's like such a chore for me.

So I'm kind of over that as an adult.

I like to watch scary movies or something, eat candy, give out candy to trick -or -treaters.

That's great.

But when I was a kid, oh my God, this is like definitely one of the best holidays for kids because you just get

a pillowcase full of candy.

It's like, who could ask for more?

It's the best.

So yeah, I definitely loved it as a kid.

But Andrew, what's your relationship to Halloween when you were a kid and now as an adult?

Yeah, I gotta say that I completely agree.

Hands down, Halloween is the best when you are a kid, and it's still a lot of fun even as an adult, I think however

when you are a kid

it is the best like I can't emphasize enough just how fun Halloween is like even at school

I remember being in elementary school and the whole school being decorated

and all of the students being so excited

and then Halloween day I remember we had a jack -o' -lantern carving competition in our school gymnasium

and my mom was there so I guess parents came as well

and doing activities like that wearing your costume to school

and then going home and waiting eagerly for nightfall to arrive

100

and then you could go out and go trick -or -treating I think nowadays

101

to me this is insane

102

and I don't know about your opinion about this Indiana I guess I understand why people do it

103

but I see a lot of families trick -or -treating during the daytime nowadays

104

and families especially with little kids you know they'll do it

105

while it's still daylight but for me

106

and in my area of Canada where I grew up

107

it was tradition you had to wait until it was dark

108

and as soon as it turned dark

109

then my parents would say okay guys off you go I would usually well

110

when you're really young you go with your parents

111

but once you get a little bit older then you go with your friends

112

and like you said indiana you have a pillowcase

113

that you would use to go

114

and collect your candy as you go from door to door

115

and like you mentioned a lot of people really go all out decorating their home for the halloween season

116

and so some homes would be really scary there'd be like skeletons

117

or scary jack -o' -lanterns or ghosts or whatever hanging around

118

and it would be almost scary to go and trick -or -treat

119

but yeah so much fun

120

and then afterwards after the trick -or -treating I would get home with my siblings

121

and sometimes my friends you dump out your pillowcase of candy

122

and see what you got

123

and then really really fun as well afterwards would be trading the candy

124

so like maybe my brother got some I don't know a Snickers and he doesn't like Snickers, but I love Snickers.

125

So I would trade some Smarties for his Snickers bar or something like that.

126

You'd trade candy and yeah, super, super fun.

127

So I have so many good memories of Halloween from when I was growing up.

128

I can't say enough just how fun it is.

129

Exactly.

130

Q -Lips is supported by our members.

131

Because of them, we can keep making lessons like this one.

132

So a huge thanks to all of our members.

133

Listening to English like you're doing right now is a great way to improve.

134

But listening doesn't exactly teach you how to speak.

135

To get better at speaking, you have to speak.

136

And for a lot of English learners, that's the hard part.

137

Maybe you don't have anyone to practice English with, or when you finally get the chance to speak,

138

you're nervous and the words just don't come out right.

139

Well, that's what our live classes are for.

140

Several times a week, QLips members meet on Zoom for a one -hour class with one of our amazing teachers.

141

We split into small groups of three to four people, so everyone gets a turn to.. talk

142

and there are classes for every time zone and members can join as many classes as they want

143

this week actually just yesterday a listener from montreal sent me a dm

144

and he told me that he's been listening on spotify since august

145

and then he became a member

146

and he took his first class with indiana yes the same indiana

147

that you're listening to right now and he told me that he really enjoyed and loved the class.

148

A yearly membership is $144, which is just $12 a month.

149

And for that, you'll get to join every class you want,

150

155

And now, back to chatting about Halloween.

156

I have a bit of a gripe to share on this topic.

157

So first, you know, let me just quickly introduce for the uninitiated.

158

If you're not so familiar with North American Halloween culture, trick -or -treating is common for kids maybe up to age 14.

159

That's probably around the limit of when you would stop going trick -or -treating.

160

On Halloween night, you get dressed up in a costume with your friends,

161

and you go door -to -door to all of the houses in your neighborhood

162

that have their lights on or have decorations up, and knock on the door and say trick -or -treat,

163

and then the person that lives there will give you some candy and probably say, oh, what a cute ghost or oh,

164

what a spooky witch, especially if you're a little kid, they'll probably compliment how scary you are.

165

It's a very nice interaction that me and Andrew grew up with.

166

I'm afraid that it might be waning a little bit, like possibly due to urban myths and fears spread around.

167

I think there was this big social media scare a few years ago, specifically in California or especially in California,

168

about fentanyl being hidden in children's Halloween candy.

169

And it was totally myth busted.

170

Like, it's not a thing.

171

But I think these fears still persist about, like, scary strangers doing something terrible to your Halloween candy and trying to,

172

like, get your kids addicted to drugs or hurt your kids.

173

And it's simply, like, just groundless.

174

It's not a thing yet i think that this may be i'm just guessing

175

that this has contributed to there being a little bit less of trick -or -treaters there's fewer trick -or -treaters

176

that i've noticed out on halloween in past years

177

and then i think there's the trunk or treat and trunk

178

or treat is a recent um thing

179

that is often happening at schools where after school on halloween

180

or sometime during that week parents will all come together in the parking lot

181

and then they'll decorate the trunks of their cars and then put the candy in there.

182

And then the kids just circle around in the parking lot, visiting each trunk of each car, which to me, it just feels horrible.

183

It is not Halloween.

184

This is not trick or treating, but it's really popular.

185

I hear about it from a lot of my students with kids who are living in the U S like,

186

Oh, there's a trunk or treat event.

187

And it's like, Oh, it just rubs me the wrong way.

188

But yeah, so I'm, I'm a little bit afraid that some of our beautiful traditions with Halloween are on the decline.

189

I mean, the rumors of evil people poisoning or drugging children's candy,

190

that's nothing new because even when I was a kid, you know, your parents would say never eat any fruit

191

or never eat any unwrapped candy

192

because there were always rumors of like some people putting razor blades in apples

193

and then giving them to kids

194

so that's like a rumor that's existed for 30 40 50 years who knows yeah

195

and yeah I think it's groundless I think

196

that was just a rumor I've never really heard of that

197

but definitely I remember whenever I'd get my candy like I said

198

you dump it out dump your pillowcase out on the floor

199

and then my parents would always inspect it just to make sure

200

that there was nothing sketchy and maybe make me throw out some candy if it looked like it was homemade or something.

201

You know, sometimes you'd have some senior citizens,

202

some grandmas or something that would make some homemade candy or make a cookie or something and give it to you.

203

And my parents would always just throw that out, unfortunately, just because it's not safe.

204

So yeah, I think those rumors have been around for a long time, but trunk or treat, I don't know about this one.

205

This is the first time I'm hearing about it.

206

I wonder if that sprung up during COVID.

207

I bet. Who knows?

208

I'm not sure, but I'm not for it.

209

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Halloween, I suppose. For sure.

210

And I hope, you know, I want to encourage anybody who has maybe recently moved to the US or Canada to like,

211

you know, push past these social media rumors.

212

These are groundless urban myths.

213

Like this is such a cool community experience.

214

Ask around about the best neighborhoods where there's like really great decorations, really great candy and take your kids trick -or -treating.

215

It's such a cool experience.

216

Like, don't be afraid.

217

Don't fall for these myths.

218

It's not real.

219

Indiana, did you ever have fireworks on Halloween?

220

Or was this just a regional thing?

221

I kind of feel like it might just be in the area of Canada near Vancouver,

222

where I grew up when I was a really young kid.

223

We used to have fireworks every Halloween.

224

Did you do this at all?

225

No, not at all.

226

I'm not sure if I ever remember even like hearing fireworks on Halloween in the distance or anything like that.

227

No. Yeah.

228

So I lived on a cul -de -sac and a cul -de -sac is like, do you call them cul -de -sacs in America as well?

229

Do you use that?

230

Yeah.

231

Okay. For sure.

232

And so a cul -de -sac is just a street that's a dead end street.

233

But at the end of the road, it's like a circle and you'll have five or six houses that go around that circle.

234

That's a cul -de -sac.

235

So I lived on a cul -de -sac and I guess every Halloween or around Halloween,

236

because I couldn't see us doing this on a Wednesday night if Halloween fell on a Wednesday.

237

But I don't know, perhaps we did it on a weeknight as well.

238

But after trick -or -treating, then maybe it was just like one of my neighbors was a weird guy who liked to light off fireworks.

239

I'm not sure, but we'd have a little fireworks display, just the few homes that were on that cul -de -sac together.

240

So that's something that I remember.

241

And also I remember it being pretty loud and scary because I was just like seven, eight years old.

242

So it was a little bit frightening for me.

243

But yeah, I have that memory of seeing fireworks and having a fireworks show after trick or treating.

244

That's cool.

245

That sounds like a special memory.

246

Yeah, I think that might be unique to your neighborhood.

247

Very sweet.

248

Very cool yeah so these days you're not a costume wearer I'm a little bit disappointed to hear

249

that it's such it's such a fun part of Halloween as

250

an adult is wearing a costume although I gotta say

251

that I don't dress up either so I can't really blame you

252

but do you do anything for a costume like even just

253

like kind of how can I say half -assed costume anything like

254

that yeah I think if you're gonna go to a party Halloween party as an adult

255

or a child you've got to wear something

256

so yeah sometimes it's a little more half -assed than other tears like I have my backup

257

I would say is I have this sort of red dress that's kind of like,

258

you could call it bodycon.

259

It's like fitting the contours of your body.

260

It's kind of a tight dress, but then it has these flowy sleeves and it's dark red.

261

It has these black lace -up bodice.

262

Hard to describe fashion.

263

Hard to do this in English, even though this is my native language.

264

There are these black ribbons lacing up the chest bodice area.

265

So it's kind of a little bit sexy, I would say.

266

So it's perfect for like a sexy vampire or a sexy pirate.

267

Like it could kind of go either way depending on what accessories you had.

268

So that's like pretty easy to work with.

269

And then on the other hand, I have this really ridiculous frog onesie that like my husband ordered me as a gag gift one year.

270

And it's like pajamas, basically.

271

A onesie is like a, usually for babies, a full body outfit that you have to take off your entire body.

272

And it has a little hood with frog, a frog face.

273

So I can always just kind of throw that on and, well, I'm a frog.

274

Absolute minimum effort I could possibly put into it.

275

But one costume I'm pretty proud of from a few years ago.

276

So you're going to know this, Andrew, because you love music.

277

I was David Byrne from Stop Making Sense.

278

So I slipped slicked back my hair.

279

I have short hair.

280

I don't know if everybody knows that I have very short hair.

281

So I slicked it back.

282

I went to a thrift store to find the biggest gray suit I could possibly find.

283

I patted it, patted it out to make it sort of look like David Byrne in Stop Making Sense.

284

Listeners definitely look up David Byrne, Stop Making Sense to get an idea of this costume.

285

And I think I looked pretty spot on.

286

It was pretty cool.

287

And then I had my husband put a lampshade on his head

288

and wear like all black so that he was the lamp that he dances with on stage during

289

This Must Be the Place.

290

So that was a pretty niche but cool costume I was pretty proud of.

291

I put a lot of effort into that.

292

And then like my friends were like, yeah, cool.

293

But like, I didn't get the praise I was hoping for.

294

So then I was just like, why would I put effort into this if you're not going to say, oh man, cool costume.

295

I was a little, a little upset about the, the lack of attention for it.

296

Cause I was like, man, I went to all these thrift stores.

297

Yeah.

298

Oh, it sounds like a great costume.

299

And yeah, for listeners who don't know this reference, David Byrne is the singer from a band called the Talking Heads,

300

famous American band from, I guess, the 70s and 80s.

301

And yeah, they have this famous concert film called Stop Making Sense.

302

And in that film, David Byrne is wearing this huge business suit, this very, very, very oversized business suit.

303

And when he dances around on the stage, it just looks ridiculous, but also extremely cool at the same time.

304

So that's an awesome costume.

305

I wish I had thought of that one myself back in the day.

306

That's such a good idea.

307

Yeah, it was cool.

308

But I guess that's the costume in recent years I'm most proud of.

309

It was also a great gag in middle school.

310

I dressed up one year as Indiana Jones.

311

Haha, that's, you know, my name.

312

So everybody likes that one.

313

314

but how about you Andrew do you have any iconic costumes from your life

315

you could recount for us uh let me

316

I remember being maybe a cowboy was one of my very first costumes

317

when I was like four years old I remember dressing up as a cowboy

318

and then in grade school I remember being a teenage mutant ninja turtle

319

and my mom

320

and I worked on making the costume together we built like the turtle shell from cardboard

321

so that one was a cool one nice

322

when i was a little bit older i remember my friend

323

and i we both went as crossword puzzles

324

so we just wore white clothes

325

and we like just wrote a bunch of random letters all over them

326

and then we attached a pen to ourselves with a piece of string

327

and people could try and find a word and circle it

328

that was like when we were in university and we'd always go to concerts.

329

As you get older, Halloween turns from a fun family -based activity,

330

I think, to like a really party -heavy day.

331

So especially when I was a university student, every Halloween would be a big party day, a house party, often with bands playing music,

332

and they would always cover other people's music.

333

There were no originals, it was always a cover concert

334

so people learning

335

and playing other bands music kind of like dressing up in a costume in a musical way

336

so that was always really fun yeah I remember being that

337

crossword puzzle and that was a really popular one people like to come up

338

and try and find a word and circle it

339

and what else uh again with the same friend one time I think it was right after the launch of the iPad,

340

my friend looks a lot like Steve Jobs.

341

So he dressed up as Steve Jobs and nailed it.

342

He looked exactly like Steve Jobs.

343

And I thought it would be funny to be an iPad.

344

So I dressed up as an iPad and we walked around together.

345

And that one was also really popular for some reason.

346

Yeah.

347

I mean, I haven't dressed up in several years.

348

I don't really celebrate Halloween now that I live in Korea, unfortunately.

349

It's just not as much of a thing here, so I don't get to celebrate it the same way that I did back in Canada,

350

but still I have a really fond place for the holiday

351

in my heart just from all of those great memories I had growing up.

352

That's cool.

353

I really like the crossword puzzle idea.

354

Something interactive for a costume is hard to pull off

355

that sounded like a really good one yeah

356

and I remember I remember one of the last halloweens

357

that I spent in Canada was at a house party where my band was playing

358

and I was dressed up like a dinosaur I had this really ridiculous dinosaur costume

359

and I remember trying to play guitar

360

and sing dressed up like a dinosaur it was hard but it was a lot of fun oh my god

361

Yeah, good times.

362

Good times.

363

Absolutely.

364

Well, Indiana, should we leave things here?

365

Was there anything else that you wanted to mention about Halloween this year?

366

Yeah, the only thing that I wanted to bring up,

367

just specifically for anybody living in the United States or Canada who you are living in a neighborhood,

368

you're starting to see these Halloween decorations popping up.

369

And either you're thinking, oh, this is so great.

370

I want to give out candy to trick -or -treaters.

371

I want to participate.

372

Or maybe you're thinking, oh, this is not for me.

373

Like, I do not want people ringing my doorbell.

374

No, thank you.

375

I'm busy or I just don't want to talk to everybody.

376

So if you are interested in participating in Halloween and giving out candy to trick -or -treaters, you definitely want to keep your front lights on,

377

maybe your porch lights, the lights in the front of your house.

378

and make sure you have some degree of decoration.

379

That shows that your house is welcoming trick -or -treaters,

380

even just a little bit of like the orange string lights or a pumpkin or two with or without the carved faces,

381

maybe a few decorations from the Halloween store, which they always have these pop -up stores that appear in a lot of cities.

382

So just having a few things in the lawn to show, okay, this is a house that is like participating in Halloween,

383

make it look a little spooky and keep some lights on to show that you're home.

384

Now, it's the opposite.

385

If you do not want to participate, keep your lawn free and clear of all decorations.

386

And even if you're going to be home that night, try to keep your couple front lights off,

387

like the porch lights or that lights in the front of your house.

388

Keep those off and, you know, maybe stay on the second floor or in the back of the house

389

and hang out there because I think that is a clear indicator.

390

Okay, this house is not engaging in it.

391

Make it look like no one's home and then people will not come to your house.

392

But I thought I would mention that in case it's not super clear.

393

Do I have to participate in Halloween?

394

No, you definitely don't.

395

But you want to make your house look a certain way

396

if you are or are not going to participate with the trick -or -treaters.

397

Yeah, absolutely.

398

Turning your lights off your outdoor lights that's the classic signal

399

that is a waste of time as a trick -or -treater to walk up

400

that driveway and knock on the door because nobody's home

401

or they don't want to participate so yeah

402

that would always be the signal for me

403

when I was a trick -or -treater oh the lights are off okay I'm gonna skip

404

that home for sure Indiana we'll leave just with a fun question here to wrap things up

405

and to sign off and I'm wondering what was your favorite candy to receive when you used to go trick -or -treating?

406

Oh, such a good question.

407

Let me think about that.

408

I really loved Nerds candy.

409

I found it so fun to have that tiny, tiny box of Nerds, which are just these little clusters of sugar.

410

Oh, those were so fun to eat.

411

What else?

412

I've always loved gummy candy.

413

Anything gummy related was great for me.

414

The tiny Haribo packets or yeah, pretty much anything.

415

I think the only thing I didn't like was something with peanut butter in it.

416

I know I'm a weirdo, but peanut butter and chocolate, I just like could live without.

417

I'm maybe the only person on the planet who's over peanut butter and chocolate.

418

My favorite.

419

I know.

420

I know.

421

It's weird.

422

Well, yeah, something gummy related, maybe the Nerds candies.

423

Yeah, those were great.

424

What do you think?

425

What was your favorite? it well in my neighborhood we had this one home

426

which was like four times bigger than all of the other homes

427

and it was on the top of this little hill

428

so we always nicknamed that home the rich guy like the rich guy lived in

429

that house it was just a couple an older couple and they had no children

430

and they were very mysterious like they never really interacted with the other neighbors at all

431

they were just up there on their hill in their big house like to us

432

it would have been a mansion I'm sure it was just kind of slightly bigger, slightly fancier house than all the other houses in the neighborhood.

433

But on Halloween, we'd get to go to the rich guy's house and trick or treat.

434

And he never disappointed.

435

He'd always give us full cans of Coca -Cola.

436

So we'd get a full can of Coca -Cola and a full chocolate bar.

437

Not like the mini chocolate bar that you would get.

438

You know, the trick or treat size candy bar that's one third or a quarter the size of a regular chocolate bar.

439

He'd give us a full chocolate bar.

440

So like a full size Twix or Snickers or something.

441

And so that was just incredible.

442

He never disappointed.

443

So, yeah, I always loved going to the rich guy's house on the hill.

444

He was awesome.

445

Moms hate him.

446

Like not only are you getting candy, but caffeinated soda.

447

Oh, my gosh yeah that's crazy we'd always scheme like how can we go to this guy's house again like

448

if we change our costume will he recognize us could we hit him up twice

449

because he was so generous

450

so yeah shout out to the rich guy oh that's nice all right

451

so we'll wrap things up here guys thank you

452

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, candy, costume, participate 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.
