Mike Ross?

Hi.

I'm Rachel Zane.

I'll be giving you your orientation.

Wow, you're pretty.

Good.

You hit on me.

We can get it out of the way that I am not interested.

No, I'm sorry.

I wasn't hitting on you.

Trust me.

I've given dozens of these,

and without fail, whatever new hotshot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal,

that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.

Let me assure you, I won't.

Oh, yeah.

Do you remember your first day at work?

Imagine going through that, but in English.

Well, this is exactly what's happening here.

In Suits, we get to see a nice blend of legal and office English.

There's a ton of vocabulary for the workplace,

which makes it a powerful series for English learners.

And I myself, I'm a huge fan.

So in the scene that we'll watch today,

Mike Ross has just been hired at this law firm,

and Rachel, who's a paralegal,

that is, she's a lawyer's assistant,

is giving him an orientation.

And by the way, do you see these words highlighted in blue?

These are the advanced English expressions that we'll be learning today,

and you should know that we're saving all of them in a special deck of flashcards

that we created with this lesson with Suits on our own app.

If you want to remember these words forever and actually be able to use them in your own English conversations,

I'm telling you, this is the best way to do that.

Just click the link below to access this lesson from inside our app,

and you can even watch it from there too.

Now let's get into the first part of the lesson.

I'm Rachel Zane, I'll be giving you your orientation.

When you start at a new job,

most often you're given an orientation,

a professional introduction to the office.

Rachel is saying that she will be the one explaining to Mike how things work at the law firm,

what he needs to do, and some important rules.

Wow, you're pretty.

Good, you hit on me.

To hit on someone is to flirt with them,

to show that you're romantically interested in them.

It's an informal phrase of verb.

Check out this audio example.

Are you hitting on me?

Yes, yes, I'm hitting on you.

You're hot and cool and nice and you have beautiful eyes.

So Rachel stops it right away.

By saying that they can get it out of the way that she's not interested,

she means that they can clear this up immediately,

so there's no misunderstanding later.

We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.

And that's a great phrase to learn advanced English pronunciation because it has some connected speech in it.

And that is, it's being pronounced with words being cut,

reduced, and linked together.

And if you learn this,

your comprehension of fast speech will increase significantly.

We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.

No, I'm sorry, I wasn't hitting on you.

Trust me.

We have three examples of a flap T there,

this softer sound that resembles a D sound,

like ra ra ra, very common in American English.

She says get it, not get it,

and then it links to out,

so it sounds like get it out.

And finally, she doesn't say out of the way,

but rather out of the way.

So this happens because the T in those phrases stand between two vowels.

Really cool right?

Get it out of the way.

Now let's hear you try it.

Repeat after Rachel.

We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.

I've given dozens of these and without fail whatever new hotshot it is thinks

that because I'm just a paralegal that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.

Let me assure you, I won't.

So let's understand what Rachel said here.

She's explaining that every time a new lawyer joins the firm He assumes

that just because she's a legal assistant should be blown away

or amazed by his impressive law degree His certificate from law school.

Check out this other example of the expression blown away I'm blown away

You bought me a car

I've given dozens of these and without fail whatever new hotshot it is thinks

that because I'm just a paralegal The phrase without fail is used to emphasize that something always happens every single time.

Like every day without fail he has toast and coffee for breakfast.

And a hotshot is an informal expression meaning someone who thinks they're very talented or important,

sometimes a little too confident.

I didn't know that.

I learned it when I studied for the bar.

Okay, hot shot.

Fire up this laptop.

Now let's watch the next part of the scene.

101

Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.

102

So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.

103

On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.

104

mergers across from divorce, symmetry.

105

Ah, I should just listen.

106

The firm operates on a chain of command model.

107

Harvey's your commanding officer.

108

However, Louis Slit, he oversees all associates,

109

so you'll also answer to him.

110

So Rachel gives Mike an orientation,

111

leading him down one of the main corridors in Office Tour.

112

Pay attention now, because we'll see several advanced expressions in a short amount of time.

113

Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.

114

In this context, bank of offices refer to a group of offices in the law firm.

115

An arena of the law means an area of law.

116

Just like she says, company acquisitions is one of these areas.

117

Divorces is another area.

118

Basically, these different departments specialize or focus on different areas of law.

119

And the department heads are senior lawyers.

120

Each section of the law firm is led by them and their offices are located at the end of each area.

121

So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.

122

On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.

123

So the left side of their offices specializes in mergers and acquisitions,

124

that is, big business deals.

125

A merger is when two companies join together to become one bigger company.

126

An acquisition is when one company buys another company and takes control of it.

127

These deals require legal procedures,

128

so that's what they do there at the law firm.

129

The opposite side of the corridor handles high net worth divorces.

130

This is when wealthy couples get divorced, when they get separated.

131

Normally, because they have so much money and properties to split,

132

they need legal support too.

133

By the way, the expression net worth refers to exactly that,

134

the total value of all the money and property a person has.

135

Nice, mergers across from divorce, symmetry.

136

Mike is making a funny observation about the office layout.

137

Mergers, that is companies coming together,

138

are exactly on the other side of divorces,

139

that is couples who are separating.

140

He calls this symmetry, when you have two sides and they match each other creating a nice balance.

141

For example, you could see yin and yang as a symbol of symmetry and harmony.

142

Here's a clever example from the movie Mr. and Mr. Smith.

143

So what did you decide?

144

I want a divorce.

145

I like it.

146

You propose to me here so it has agreeable symmetry.

147

Cool, sir.

148

Ah, I should just listen.

149

The firm operates on a chain of command model.

150

Harvey's your commanding officer.

151

However, Louis Slit, he oversees all the suits,

152

so you'll also answer to him.

153

So here, Rachel is explaining how the law firm is structured.

154

A chain of command is a system where people have different levels of authority and orders come from the top down.

155

So Harvey is Mike's boss.

156

Mike will also have to report to Louis Litt,

157

who oversees all junior lawyers.

158

You could also say Louis manages,

159

supervises, or he's in charge of the junior lawyers.

160

And by the way, remember that you can practice all this vocabulary that you've been seeing today on our own app.

161

I highly recommend you try it.

162

It's the best way for you to make sure

163

that you never forget all these words and expressions that you've been learning with these lessons.

164

In fact, I find it even better to watch it from there because you've got a way more powerful experience.

165

Click the link below to start now and you'll be taken directly to this lesson over there.

166

Or you can search for real-life English on Google Play or the App Store and I hope to see you there.

167

What do you think about Harvey?

168

People are in awe of him.

169

Hmm, people are in awe of him.

170

What do you think that means?

171

That people dislike him, admire, or fear him.

172

When you're in awe of someone or something,

173

you feel deep respect or admiration because you're very impressive or dazzling.

174

Another nice word we learned today.

175

People are in awe of him.

176

They say he's the best closer there is,

177

but I have very little contact with him, so I don't know.

178

In this context, a closer is someone who is really good at finishing important deals or winning cases.

179

Now, did you hear the connected speech there?

180

Let's go back and check that out.

181

People are in awe of them.

182

A lot of linking here.

183

Pretty much every single word.

184

Let's see.

185

People are becomes people are.

186

Next, the word are links to in,

187

so we get are in. Are in.

188

Then from are in, we go to ah,

189

so we get are in awe.

190

And make sure to pronounce the vowel sound correctly here.

191

It's ah not oh No drop ah like in the word awesome

192

Finally the H sound in him is dropped as he gets linked to of

193

of him of them Note that the main stress falls on the word ah people are in all of them

194

Now it's your turn to practice People are in all of them People are in all of them

195

Now let's watch the next part of the scene.

196

Rachel shows Mike his cubicle,

197

jokingly telling him this is where you live,

198

meaning he'll be spending a lot of time there.

199

I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.

200

It's because...

201

Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.

202

To ogle means to stare at someone in a way that shows attraction,

203

often too obviously, or in a way that makes the other person uncomfortable.

204

Mom, that perv is ogling you again.

205

No!

206

I was reading my horoscope.

207

You will borrow a huge swimsuit today.

208

What?

209

So Mike proves Rachel wrong by repeating everything she told him,

210

showing that he actually was listening.

211

Partners offices anchor the wings.

212

Fifth floor is research.

213

Six is security.

214

All work gets built, even if it's finding an address.

215

I answer to Harvey and Louis Litt,

216

and judging by the way you responded to my questions,

217

I should admire Harvey and I should fear Louis.

218

Partners offices anchor the wings.

219

You remember the structure of the company, right?

220

So here, Mike says that the offices of the senior lawyers,

221

the partners, are at the end of each wing, each sector.

222

And all the work, even the minor things, gets billed.

223

So everything the lawyers do costs money and gets charged.

224

Getting billed means being charged for services or products.

225

You have been here for five years,

226

and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.

227

Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.

228

You know what nobody likes?

229

Nobody likes a show off.

230

You used the word ogling.

231

When do I get to see Harvey?

232

You have been here for five years,

233

and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.

234

If someone outranks another person,

235

they have more authority in a company, for example.

236

The word outranks is commonly more associated with the military to show that one officer holds a higher position than another.

237

Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.

238

You know what nobody likes?

239

Nobody likes a show-off.

240

A show-off is someone who likes to brag or make sure that everyone notices how great they are at something.

241

They do things just to impress people.

242

What's interesting about this word is that it can be used both as a noun and as a verb.

243

Check it out in this example.

244

Is it just me or Zach perfect?

245

He's good looking but not into himself.

246

Smart but not a show-off.

247

Athletic but sensitive.

248

Alright, now prepare for the test.

249

You'll watch the entire scene again, this time without subtitles and I'm gonna ask you some questions.

250

Let's do this.

251

Mike Gross?

252

Hi.

253

I'm Rachel Zane.

254

I'll be giving you your orientation.

255

Wow, you're pretty.

256

Good.

257

You hit on me.

258

If a person hits on you,

259

they are attacking you, interested in you,

260

or acting as if they were better than you.

261

We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.

262

No, I'm sorry, I wasn't hitting on you.

263

Trust me, I've given dozens of these and without fail,

264

whatever new hotshot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal,

265

that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.

266

Let me assure you, I won't.

267

What would be the opposite of dazzling?

268

Dull?

269

Brilliant? Or impressive?

270

Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.

271

So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.

272

On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.

273

The firm operates on a chain of command model.

274

Harvey's your commanding officer.

275

However, Louis Slit, he's a f***ing doll associate,

276

so you'll also answer to him.

277

Which verb means to supervise and check the progress of someone's work?

278

Overlook, overhear, oversee.

279

However, Lewis Slit, he oversees all associates,

280

so you'll also answer to him.

281

What do you think about Harvey?

282

People are in awe of him.

283

And finally, this is where you'll live.

284

I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.

285

It's because...

286

Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.

287

You don't want somebody ogling you because it means they are completely ignoring you,

288

staring at you, or disrespecting you.

289

All right,

290

guys.

291

Great job.

292

Now remember to go and practice everything that you learned today on the RealLife app.

293

Just click the link in the description below to start the vocabulary practice right away.

294

Thank you.

295

Not at all.

296

Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of these United States of America at your service.

297

Okay, I'm Larry Daly, the new night guard.

298

Pleasure to meet you, Lawrence Daly!

299

You'll have to excuse me though.

300

The hunt is a foot.

301

Hunt's foot.

302

Um, okay, excuse me, Mr. President.

303

Can I ask you something?

304

Yes, but just one question.

305

All right, okay, why?

306

Is it, like, just some,

307

like, free wishes kind of deal?

308

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.
