Hello and welcome to the English Like A Native podcast.
2
My name is Anna and on the day of recording this we are going through an intense heatwave Oh,
3
it's been so hot.
4
I have been melting.
5
I have struggled to sleep.
6
I've struggled to cook.
7
I've struggled to work and function.
8
How have you been holding up?
9
How have you been coping?
10
Because although the temperatures have been high in the UK, I know that they've been much higher in other places.
11
Across Europe, there have been records broken for...
12
the level of heat we've seen in June.
13
But to distract you for a short period, I'm going to turn your ears to something completely different.
14
Something interesting happened at the weekend.
15
Something surprising.
16
And Our Prime Minister.
17
Sakiya Stama.
18
resigned.
19
Thank you.
20
That's not in itself unusual.
21
Politicians resign all the time.
22
They are put under pressure, because they lose favor with...
23
the public or within their own party, or because they're part of a scandal.
24
But what's surprising is What happened just before he announced his departure?
25
And this is going to help me to share with you some interesting phrases, which is the whole point of the podcast.
26
I want to entertain you and motivate you, but mostly I just want to introduce you to lots of useful English vocabulary.
27
If you'd like to get access to the transcript of this podcast and to additional learning resources around the podcast,
28
then you can by becoming a podcast host a Podcast Plus member.
29
I'll put my teeth in to say that.
30
Okay, so what exactly happened?
31
Well, on Sunday, the 21st of June, After lots of speculation about...
32
What's going to happen?
33
Is our prime minister going to step down? or not.
34
There was all this speculation and we knew that the news would come out on Monday.
35
because all the pressure had been building on Starmer.
36
So with all the scrutiny, the pressure, and then the speculation, we knew that he would probably step down on Monday.
37
But we were all waiting patiently to find out what he would do.
38
But on Sunday 21 June, Donald Trump the President of the United States of America,
39
posted on Truth Social...
40
about Keir Starmer and according to The news.
41
He wrote...
42
Starmer will resign.
43
as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
44
He then also criticised him over immigration and his energy policy.
45
And he added at the end, I wish him well.
46
I Now, the awkward Part is that Starmer had not yet publicly made his own resignation announcement.
47
He hadn't made it public, even though there was speculation.
48
We weren't surprised by the news, but we were surprised by the poor people.
49
etiquette Donald Trump had jumped the gun.
50
And this is a phrase I really want to teach you.
51
to jump the gun, jump J U M P the gun, bang bang, G -U -N.
52
To jump the gun.
53
This means to do something too early.
54
or before the right moment.
55
And this is the perfect political example of someone jumping the gun.
56
I mean, I feel sorry for Keir Starmer.
57
You can imagine him.
58
over the weekend.
59
He's under enormous political pressure.
60
The rumours are swirling around Westminster, journalists are hovering They've set up camp outside Downing Street,
61
waiting for this moment.
62
commentators are all analyzing every facial expression, every word that comes out of Starmer's mouth, every message that gets sent out.
63
He's prepared a very serious...
64
"dignified" statement Perhaps he's spent a lot of time thinking about the exact words to say.
65
because he wants to Sound calm.
66
and composed and statesmanlike But then,
67
before he can open his mouth and deliver his speech, across the Atlantic...
68
Across the pond, as we say, Donald Trump pops up.
69
online and says He's off.
70
He's resigning.
71
I mean...
72
It's probably not.
73
the dignified handover that Keir Starmer was expecting.
74
It's like preparing to announce your engagement.
75
at a family dinner.
76
Thank you only to have your very loud auntie walk in and shout shower's your ring then
77
Or maybe you're planning to tell your colleagues...
78
that you're leaving your job.
79
But then Someone in the office shouts, Hey, so when's your leaving party?
80
They got there first.
81
They've beaten you to it.
82
They've let the cat out of the bag, you might say.
83
They've jumped the gun.
84
And so I love stories like this because they are so useful. for learning.
85
Interesting vocabulary, particularly...
86
idioms and phrasal verbs in context.
87
So we have the word resign.
88
to resign is to say, "I don't want to do this job anymore.
89
I am officially leaving my job." And people resign for all sorts of reasons.
90
It's not the same as retiring, You retire at the end of your career when you are giving up work completely.
91
So you retire in later life.
92
when hopefully you have enough money saved up in your pension to support you for your remaining years.
93
But to resign is just to leave your job.
94
It's expected that you'll go and find another job after you resign.
95
But beside the word resign, we've also heard step down.
96
So, the leader of the Labour Party has stepped down.
97
So to step down is to resign when you are in a high position.
98
So you step down, you come out of a role of seniority.
99
I would expect to hear that the head teacher at a school has stepped down.
100
But if and The janitor, or we'd say cleaner more often in the UK,
101
if the school cleaner decides they don't want to work there anymore, we wouldn't use step down for the cleaner because they're not in a position of authority.
102
The clean adjusts.
103
quits, resigns, or leaves their job.
104
We can also use bow out to bow out.
105
It's like when a performer finishes a show, they take a bow, and they leave the stage.
106
Well, we use bow out to mean leaving a role.
107
And then the idioms that we heard.
108
to jump the gun.
109
which is to...
110
do something before the appropriate time.
111
To let the cat out of the bag, I very briefly said, This is to reveal a secret.
112
So you don't want to let the cat out of the bag.
113
especially if it's not your job to tell the secret.
114
Or to beat someone to it.
115
I do like this one.
116
So To beat someone to it just means to do something before another person has a chance to do it.
117
So for example, I was going to make a cup of tea.
118
But when I got to the kitchen, I realized that Nick my partner, had beaten me to it.
119
O You could even use the phrase "to steal someone's thunder".
120
to steal someone's thunder.
121
This means to make an announcement or to do or say something that takes the attention away from someone else.
122
So for example, if it's an award ceremony And You have won an award.
123
And everyone is waiting to interview you as you leave the ceremony.
124
You come out all smiles ready to talk about your amazing evening and winning the award.
125
- Thank you.
126
And then Another superstar.. walks in in a wonderful outfit and makes an announcement that gets everyone's attention.
127
And suddenly, all the reporters and the guests are all looking at this superstar And they're not looking at you.
128
Even though...
129
you should be the one getting all the attention.
130
So that superstar has stolen your thunder.
131
So whether you follow politics or not, whether you agree with the politics of labor and Keir Starmer or not
132
I think we can all feel a little bit sorry for him in that moment.
133
You can see why it would be a little frustrating and awkward.
134
Being a strong communicator, it's not just about knowing the right words.
135
Being a strong communicator is about...
136
timing, Tone.
137
Delivery.
138
and about Tucked TACT is a great word.
139
T -A -C -T Tact means knowing.
140
How to say the right thing at the right time and in the right way, especially when it's a delicate situation.
141
So even though you're focused on increasing your vocabulary and learning the language and how it's structured.
142
Also remember: to consider the wider set of communication skills.
143
HOW you say something especially in English, how you say something matters enormously.
144
Don't jump the gun.
145
Don't steal someone's thunder.
146
And certainly don't let the cat out of the bag.
147
if you've been trusted with a secret.
148
Were any of these phrases new to you?
149
If they were, then I would love for you to make sure the phrase that is new and interesting to you
150
a part of your active vocabulary.
151
How do you do that?
152
Well, initially, Say it out loud.
153
Then try to put it into a context that is relative to your life right now.
154
And finally, Please, please.
155
Use it in real life.
156
The first step is to simply write a comment.
157
If you're streaming on a platform that allows commenting like YouTube,
158
Spotify, Apple, then please write in the comment section using one of the phrases from today and let me know
159
something about you and your life or your opinions.
160
And if you don't want to do that, then at least try to find a moment to put that phrase out in the real world.
161
because you only really achieve fluency by actually using the language.
162
So thank you for listening.
163
Please do make sure that you come back and listen to more episodes.
164
And until next time.
165
Take care.
166
Goodbye.

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.
