Hello lovely students and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today I've got a really useful video for you full of English that I personally use every day.

Now you're going to learn around 19 phrases that I

and a lot of other people who speak English use on a daily basis.

Before we get started I want to remind you that I've made a beautiful free pdf to go with this video.

It It contains all of the vocabulary, phonetic transcriptions to help with your pronunciation, extra examples, and a quiz at the end to test your understanding.

If you'd like to download that, just click on the link in the description box, enter your name and your email address, you sign up to my mailing list,

and the PDF will arrive directly in your inbox.

After that, you will automatically receive all of my free weekly lesson PDFs, plus my news, course updates, and offers.

It's a free service and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Okay, let's get started with our phrases.

While I like to imagine that I have a huge vocabulary

and I use all kinds of interesting and beautiful phrases every day,

the truth is that I repeat myself quite often from one day to the next.

I cling onto words like a magnet and I use them again and again and again until people say, can you stop saying that please?

Like most of you, I spend most days doing similar activities, working, eating, hanging out with friends, hanging out with my pets actually.

And I have a bank of phrases that I use every day without even thinking about them.

And that's what I want to give you in this lesson, my bank.

And I'm not talking about my money, I'm talking about my personal vocabulary bank.

Learn these phrases and you'll be able to get through a lot of the day in an English speaking environment,

without having to think too hard about what you're saying.

And that's what we want in life, to not think too hard.

I'm going to start with some general phrases that I say anytime and any place.

Number one, what a shame.

What a shame, what a shame.

This is such a great response to something negative or unfortunate that happens or someone tells you about.

It's better to use it for small inconveniences like our favorite restaurant is booked up on our anniversary, what a shame.

Or Jean can't come tonight, she's busy, what a shame.

Don't use this when someone tells you that their pet died or something more serious happened.

I don't feel it's strong enough for that.

Number two, I haven't got a clue.

I haven't a clue, I haven't got a clue.

This phrase means I really don't know.

Now, I wouldn't recommend using this phrase with your boss or

when something is very important because it can seem a bit too casual, like you don't care that you don't know.

I haven't a clue.

I haven't got a clue.

We normally use got with haven't.

I haven't got a pen.

I haven't got time.

But in this phrase, sometimes we go a bit more old fashioned and say, I haven't a clue.

I use I haven't got a clue with friends or family.

Do you know where the binoculars are?

I haven't got a clue, sorry.

Okay, number three, I use this all the time, to cut a long story short, to cut a long story short.

I really do need to work on making my long stories shorter.

I have the habit of starting a story with a lot of enthusiasm, especially in front of a group of people.

And then I just, I lose the plot.

It doesn't go anywhere.

I don't finish it, I just trail off.

To cut a long story short, We use this phrase to say, I'm going to tell you the main point of the story.

I'll cut out all the extras.

I'm going to make this long story shorter by just telling you the essential information.

We often say this when we realize that we've been waffling on for a

while and we need to get to the point.

To waffle, or here I used it in a phrasal verb, to waffle on, is to talk for a long time,

without saying anything really of value or anything really interesting.

Sorry, I've been waffling on for hours.

I've been waffling for hours.

You add the preposition on to turn waffle into a phrasal verb and it just adds emphasis, implies that this is an ongoing action.

I actually can't believe I've been waffling on about the phrase to waffle and to waffle on.

That is just so explanatory.

Let's go back to cut a long story short.

Sometimes we preface this phrase with anyway, which is another word I use about 150 times a day.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am sorry if I go on a bit, I just get really excited by words and phrases.

I want you to know them all.

Let's go to number four, which is make up your mind.

Make up your mind.

This is the last general one, and it means decide or make a decision.

We tend to use this phrase when we're a bit frustrated because someone can't or won't decide.

I say it to my dog Diego when he's standing in the doorway wondering whether to go outside or not,

letting in lots of cold air and lots of leaves.

Make up your mind, Diego, make a decision.

Okay, so those are my general phrases.

Now I'm going to move through my work day from morning to evening, so let's get cracking.

Let's get on with it.

I'm starting in the morning, but I only have three phrases to put here because I don't talk a lot in the morning.

However, if I am saying anything at 7 a.m., these are the ones I'd use.

Mind if I grab the last.

Mind if I'd grab the last.

Mind if I grab the last piece of toast, bagel, teabag?

This is a way to ask if you can eat or use or take the last of something.

It's a question I ask my husband or he asks me several times a day.

Notice how we omit do you from the beginning of the question.

This is called ellipsis and it's really common in informal questions.

Mind if I grab the last.

Number six, I use this a lot.

I've got to dash or just for short, gotta dash, gotta dash.

This means I have to leave quickly, normally because I'm late.

You can use it at any time of the day, but I often say it in the mornings because that's usually when I'm in a hurry.

Number seven, another similar one, let's get a move on or let's get going.

This is a phrase we often say when we really want to leave or we need to leave with someone else.

It means come on, we need to go.

Let's get going, let's get a move on.

It's quite colloquial, quite casual, informal, and it's not rude.

but it also isn't polite.

I feel annoyed when Will says it to me.

If he says let's get a move on, he's implying that I'm being slow or I'm going to be late and I know, I know I'm slow, I know I'm going to be late, you don't have to tell me.

Because of that, use it with your friends and family, but don't use it with your boss.

100

Let's move on to some things that I say every day during my work day.

101

Let's get cracking.

102

I said that one at the beginning, do you remember?

103

It means let's begin.

104

I love using this phrase because it's more interesting than just saying, let's start, let's get cracking.

105

Let's get on with it.

106

Number nine, I really do say this a lot.

107

I've got back to back meetings today.

108

Back to back meetings.

109

If I'm not filming a video, which is my favorite part of the job, I'm probably in a meeting.

110

And because Will and I work from home and work together and our entire team is remote, I have a lot of Zoom meetings.

111

If my meetings are back to back, it means I have one meeting after another with no breaks.

112

You could use it with any task you need to do one after another.

113

Back to back presentations, back to back classes, back to back filming.

114

Maybe you've got back to back social occasions over the holiday period.

115

Number 10, I'm up to my ears.

116

I'm up to my ears.

117

And this one is related to the previous phrase.

118

It means I'm very busy.

119

I'm up to my ears is short for I'm up to my ears in work.

120

I might use it in texts.

121

If someone invites me out, I'll say, I'm so sorry, I can't come out tonight.

122

I'm up to my ears.

123

Number 11, I'm going to power through.

124

I'm going to power through.

125

This is a phrase I say when I'm going to work until I have finished.

126

We often say this when we're tired or if the task is particularly difficult.

127

You can also say power on through.

128

Now I absolutely love filming and making videos, but I have a six video limit.

129

You know that I post one YouTube video a week, but I've been working really hard behind the scenes to film a lot of videos for my courses.

130

And when I get to that sixth video, because after then my tongue doesn't work properly,

131

but I don't realise, so I waste a lot of time filming videos that cannot be used and have to be refilmed.

132

When I get to that sixth video, I tell myself, I just need to power through this one and then I can take a break.

133

Number 12 is give me a minute.

134

Give me a minute.

135

When someone needs me, I often want to finish what I'm working on.

136

And when I'm speaking quickly, give me becomes gimme.

137

Gimme a minute, I'm just finishing something.

138

I don't know about you, but I find it quite hard to focus at the best of times.

139

So if someone takes my focus away, It takes me another 20 minutes to get focused again.

140

So sometimes I'm trying to hold on to my focus and say, give me a minute, give me a minute, I'm just focusing on something, I'll get to you afterwards.

141

Number 13, I need to clear my head, I need to clear my head.

142

I use this phrase to say that I need to take a break or do a different activity for a while, usually because I'm feeling stressed or confused.

143

If I've had back-to-back meetings or filming, I often need a bit of fresh air to clear my head.

144

And number 14, the final daytime phrase, I could do with a little pick me up.

145

I could do with a little pick me up.

146

I use this once a day, normally at around 4 p.m.

147

Can you relate?

148

Super healthy all day, nourishing meals.

149

And then at 4 p.m.

150

I'm like, I need chocolate or crisps.

151

I don't mind which, I just need something.

152

I really have to fight those 4 p.m cravings.

153

Often at 4 p.m.

154

I have a little energy dip.

155

I'm sure it's something biological.

156

It's probably a dip in blood sugar or something.

157

And I need a little pick me up to boost my energy, a drink or a snack.

158

I often have some coffee or a cereal bar in the afternoon.

159

In American English, people often say I could use a little pick me up.

160

Let's move on to the evening.

161

At last, the day is coming to an end.

162

Here are some things I say every evening.

163

15, I'm just wrapping up for the day.

164

This one means I'm finishing my work or finishing my tasks for the day,

165

wrapping everything up, making sure everything is finished so I can leave work and not think about work anymore.

166

16, next round's on me, next round's on me.

167

When I lived in London, it was very common to go for after work drinks at the pub.

168

This phrase means I will buy the next set of drinks for our group.

169

I've talked a bit about rounds before in my videos.

170

It's very common in the UK,

171

Ireland, Australia, and some other English-speaking countries for people in a group to take turns buying drinks for everyone.

172

So if you're in a group of four, you buy the first round of four drinks, then the next person buys the second round, and so on and so on.

173

Be careful when you get into a round of drinks with a big group of people

174

because you might end up buying eight drinks and maybe even drinking eight drinks, which is not a good idea and I don't encourage that.

175

I also said on me.

176

The next round's on me.

177

That means I'm buying it.

178

This one's on me.

179

I'm paying for this one.

180

Dinner's on us.

181

We're paying for dinner.

182

Number 17, peckish.

183

I'm a bit peckish after the pub or at dinner time.

184

We need to eat something.

185

This means I'm hungry, not super hungry.

186

I don't want a full meal, but I could eat.

187

I could eat.

188

My husband always says that.

189

When I'm distributing the food I have cooked for our evening meal together.

190

I say, how hungry are you?

191

Wanting to know how much food do I put on your plate?

192

And he always says, I could eat.

193

I'm like, well, that doesn't give me any indication as to how much food I should put on your plate.

194

I'm sorry, you don't need to know this.

195

Let's move on to number 18, fancy a nightcap.

196

I always fancy a nightcap, but I try not to have nightcaps.

197

This one is about alcohol.

198

It means, do you want one last drink before you go to bed?

199

It's usually alcohol, but it can actually refer to any drink, hot cocoa, tea, herbal tea.

200

They could all be nightcaps, but most English speakers will think

201

that you're offering them an alcoholic drink like a whiskey or a brandy or something like that.

202

And number 19, the last one, I'm going to turn in.

203

I'm gonna turn in, going to informal contraction, gonna.

204

This phrase means I'm going to bed.

205

And that's exactly how I end my day.

206

Actually, I have a bonus phrase for you because it slipped my mind.

207

No, that's it.

208

That's the phrase.

209

It slipped my mind.

210

This means I forgot, but it's a nicer, softer way of saying it.

211

I'm so sorry about forgetting your birthday.

212

It totally slipped my mind or it slipped my mind to post that letter yesterday.

213

It means I really wanted to, I tried to remember, but it just disappeared from my mind.

214

It wasn't my fault.

215

I say this all the time, all day, every day.

216

Just got a lot going on.

217

Anyway, it really is time to wrap up this video.

218

I really hope you've enjoyed it.

219

Don't forget to download the beautiful PDF that we've made for you with the quiz so you can test your understanding.

220

The link to get that is in the description box.

221

Don't forget to check out my beautiful English courses.

222

They are so cool.

223

We have worked so hard on making them what I believe to be the best English courses on the market study pronunciation,

224

grammar, vocabulary, writing, listening, reading, conversation with me, just visit englishwithlucy.com and you can choose from B1,

225

B2, C1 and decide which one is right for you.

226

I will see you soon for another lesson.

227

FOR YOU

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 건가요?

매일 영어로 의사소통하는 데 어려움을 겪는 중급 이상 학생들에게 완벽한 콘텐츠입니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹 준비생이나 일상 대화에서 자연스러운 표현을 사용하고 싶은 분들에게 추천합니다. 이 비디오에서 소개하는 구문은 영어 원어민이 실제로 매일 쓰는 표현이기 때문에, shadow speech(쉐도잉) 연습에 최적화되어 있어 발음과 리듬을 함께 익힐 수 있습니다.

빼놓을 수 없는 실전 표현 모음

영어 원어민 Lucy가 매일 사용하는 구문을 소개합니다. 이 표현들을 익히면 일상 대화가 훨씬 자연스러워집니다!

What a shame: 작은 불편함이나 안타까운 일에 대한 반응으로 사용합니다. "좋아하는 식당이 예약이 가득 차서 기념일에 갈 수 없어"나 "친구가 오늘 못 오는 거"처럼 가벼운 상황에 쓰세요. 심각한 사건에는 부적절합니다.
I haven't got a clue: "전혀 모르겠어"라는 뜻으로, 친구나 가족과의 대화에서 자주 사용합니다. 상사나 중요한 상황에서는 너무 캐주얼할 수 있으니 주의하세요. "안경이 어디에 있는지 알아?"에 "I haven't got a clue"라고 답할 수 있습니다.
To cut a long story short: 긴 이야기를 짧게 끝내고 싶을 때 사용하는 구문입니다. "길게 이야기하지 말고 요약하면"이라는 뜻으로, 이야기가 길어지는 것을 방지할 때 유용합니다.

발음을 제대로 잡는 방법

이 표현들의 발음을 정확히 익히려면 shadow speak 연습을 해보세요. Lucy의 발음을 따라하며 리듬과 강세를 체크하세요. 예를 들어 "What a shame"은 "왓 어 쉐임"처럼 발음하며, "I haven't got a clue"는 "아이 해벤트 갓 어 클루"로 부드럽게 연결해서 말합니다. 특히 "got"의 발음은 가볍게 넘기고, "clue"는 "클루"가 아니라 "클유"에 가깝게 발음하는 게 자연스러워요. 매일 5분씩 쉐도잉을 하면 발음이 빠르게 향상될 것입니다!

이 영상의 문법

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
현재완료진행 have/has been + -ing — 전에 시작해 지금도 계속되는 동작	we've been waffling · I've been waffling · I've been working
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	I've made · have finished · I've had
관계절 who / which + 절 — 사람이나 사물에 대한 추가 정보	people who speak · anyway, which is · four, which is
수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점	is booked · is called · be refilmed

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.
