Hello everybody, this is Elliot from ETJ English.
2
Today I have an interesting video for you.
3
We're going to be learning some very common and very useful British expressions
4
which I think are most often used in the workplace or in a business environment.
5
However, some of these can be used and transferred into daily life also.
6
So, we're going to learn quite a few.
7
I want to get straight into the video.
8
Just so you know, because I mainly focus on pronunciation,
9
I'm a pronunciation teacher, we will be focusing on also how to connect our speech with some of these phrases
10
and also how to just make things sound very nice, okay, in a British style.
11
Thank you.
12
Off the top of my head I'd say we have about 300 employees.
13
Okay, so the expression I'm talking about, "off the top of my head" Notice how the word 'of' becomes 'of'.
14
It's what we call a function word, it's not important.
15
Top of my head.
16
off the top of my head Sometimes it will even become "uh" top of my head.
17
- Yeah.
18
The of is not important.
19
The important words are top and head mainly.
20
Of the top of my head I'd say we have about 300 employees and what it means is
21
without thinking too much or without really thinking about it then you make your statement.
22
So I don't know that we have exactly 300 employees, but off the top of my head the first thing I can think of is that we have about 300.
23
The next sentence, have a listen here.
24
I leave for work at about 6am.
25
and I get off work at about 5 :00 p .m.
26
I leave for work.
27
Firstly, let's look at that.
28
I leave for work.
29
So we've got the schwa on the word for.
30
Once again, for is not important.
31
So we say for work.
32
I leave for work.
33
A lot of my students, they get confused.
34
They think that to leave for work actually means to go home from work.
35
Because I said the time is 6am, maybe it's a bit clearer for you.
36
I leave for work at 6am means I leave my house to go to work.
37
At 6 :00 a .m.
38
I leave for work.
39
Okay?
40
And I get off work That's when I finish work, when I leave work.
41
Get off work, connected speech, get off, get off work.
42
That is when you finish work, you go home.
43
Okay.
44
Okay.
45
I leave for work at about 6 a .m.
46
and I get off work at about 5 p .m.
47
Another one, very, very, very, very common one, I'll drop you an email later.
48
I'll drop you an email later.
49
Now listen to my pronunciation.
50
I'll drop you one email, you one email.
51
Connected speech happening there, a wha sound.
52
I'll drop you an email later.
53
Now the word drop is used here and that literally just means I will send, I will give you an email later.
54
Sometimes people also say, "I will ping you an email later." Or even,
55
"I will ping you later." And I think the word ping has come from the sound when we receive a message, you know, that kind of ding sound.
56
"I'll drop you an email later." "I'll ping you an email later." Whichever one is best for you, really.
57
But that's more common than saying, "I will send you an email." Next one, I use this a lot with my friends, as well as in business terms.
58
Give me a shout.
59
For example, give me a shout when you're free.
60
Give me a shout is a bit like saying, let me know or tell me.
61
Give me a shout when you're free.
62
Okay, so it's just like saying tell me when you're available.
63
And also related to email, I could say give me a bell later.
64
Give me a bell later.
65
And that also means call me, call me later.
66
Give me a bell.
67
Some people do also say give me a ring, give me a call, and those can also be used in the same situation.
68
Give me a ring, give me a bell, give me a call.
69
Whatever you want.
70
This one's a good one to use if you're, uh, if you like talking about other people in the office.
71
He's been sucking up to the manager all week.
72
I think he's a bit of a kiss arse.
73
Okay, let's take a look at the first part of the sentence.
74
He's been sucking up to the manager all week.
75
To suck up means to be really nice to someone, to really compliment them.
76
"Oh, you're an amazing boss.
77
Oh, you're so good at your job.
78
Oh, you're fantastic.
79
He's sucking up." Okay?
80
To tell someone how great you think they are, maybe even if you don't think it's true.
81
Okay, so he's been sucking up to the manager or the boss all week.
82
I think he's a bit of a Bit of the.
83
Kiss us.
84
A kiss ass is a name we give to someone who likes to suck up.
85
So now you know what suck up means.
86
A kiss ass is someone who sucks up.
87
Imagine they are kissing someone's bottom.
88
And you'll find the office business work jargon really Bad language is not a problem,
89
but you need to feel comfortable with the people that you're talking to to use the bad language.
90
So the word 'arse' is not that bad.
91
if you're in a comfortable office environment.
92
If you're talking to your boss, maybe don't use the word "arse" or other words.
93
There are worse phrases, some quite rude expressions, but This is a family show.
94
I've got two expressions in this next sentence, so listen closely.
95
Everything is a bit up in the air right now.
96
I think I need to put off our meeting.
97
Everything is a bit up in the air right now.
98
Up in the air.
99
So lots of connected speech here.
100
Up in the air.
101
up in the air.
102
Now if things are up in the air, imagine you have loads of plans, loads of ideas, but they're not coming together, that you're not organised.
103
That would mean that your plans or things are up in the air, not very organised, a bit kind of confusing at the moment.
104
So everything is a bit up in the air right now.
105
Notice how I use the word a bit as well.
106
This is very common put off.
107
put off "our meeting".
108
So I think we need to put off our meeting.
109
So connected speech, put off, put off.
110
If you need to put something off, Very simple.
111
Postbone.
112
"Change to another day." So, this guy's plans, they're a bit up in the air,
113
not organised, so he needs to put off, reschedule, change the meeting.
114
One which is very similar to put off, so put off means postpone, and call off means cancel, just so you know.
115
So I could say I need to call off our meeting.
116
Notice the pronunciation of this.
117
An American would say "Carl".
118
We say "Cool".
119
Notice where my tongue is, I'm doing a very round shape with the mouth and the tongue goes back.
120
Ooh, cool.
121
I need to call off the meeting.
122
"Call off" means cancel.
123
The best way to remember: put off, begins with P and so does postpone.
124
Cancel begins with C, and so does cool off.
125
Finally, last one.
126
So we got two in this one.
127
We need to knuckle down and finish this project or else it will all go down the drain.
128
First thing we need to knuckle down.
129
Knuckles, these things, knuckle down.
130
That means, get your hands on the table and start working.
131
Or else, so if we don't knuckle down and finish the project soon, It will all go down the drain.
132
This is such a British expression.
133
If things all go down the drain, that means it all goes wrong, it finishes, it's over, no chance of continuing, it's finished.
134
It's all gone down the drain.
135
Okay, so you failed.
136
And that's just like water when it goes down the drain, when we're draining water.
137
There you go.
138
There's your expressions.
139
I hope you found them useful today.
140
This was one of the most requested videos.
141
Last week I said, what do you want me to make a video about?
142
you wanted this.
143
So I hope you're happy.
144
Please leave me a comment and tell me if you found this useful.
145
And if you have any pronunciation ideas for the next lesson next Thursday, please let me know.

맥락 및 배경

이 비디오는 ETJ 영어의 엘리엇이 진행하며, 주로 비즈니스 환경에서 자주 사용되는 영국식 표현에 대해 다룹니다. 엘리엇은 발음 교육을 전문으로 하고 있어, 표현뿐만 아니라 이러한 표현을 어떻게 매끄럽게 발음할 수 있는지에 대해서도 강조합니다. 비디오에서는 직장에서의 소통을 원활하게 하기 위해 필요한 몇 가지 중요한 표현들을 소개하고 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 이러한 표현을 익히고, 실제 대화에 적용할 수 있도록 도와줍니다.

일상 소통을 위한 5가지 주요 표현

  • Off the top of my head: 별로 깊이 생각하지 않고 즉흥적으로 말할 때 사용하는 표현입니다. 예를 들어, "사람 수는 대충 300명 정도입니다"라고 할 때 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • I leave for work: '일하러 나가다'라는 뜻으로, "나는 아침 6시에 집을 나가고, 5시에 퇴근합니다"와 같이 구체적인 시간을 함께 표현할 수 있습니다.
  • Get off work: 일을 마치고 퇴근하는 것을 의미합니다. "나는 5시에 퇴근해요"와 같은 문장에서 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • I'll drop you an email later: 나중에 이메일을 보낼 것이라는 의미로, 비즈니스에서 흔히 사용되는 표현입니다.
  • Have a listen: 누군가에게 음악이나 대화를 들어보라고 할 때 사용하는 친근한 표현입니다.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 비디오를 통해 영어 쉐도잉을 연습하는 방법에 대해 안내해 드리겠습니다. 아래 단계를 따라서 복습해 보세요:

  1. 발음 듣기: 엘리엇의 발음을 집중해서 들어보세요. 특히 기능어(예: 'of', 'for')는 발음에서 중요하지 않음을 이해하세요.
  2. 쉐도잉 시작하기: 첫 번째 표현을 듣고, 따라해 보세요. 발음을 정확히 맞추려고 하지 말고, 자연스럽게 연결하여 발음해 보세요. 예를 들어, “I leave for work”에서 “for”를 부드럽게 연결해 발음해 보세요.
  3. 반복 연습: 더 많은 반복을 통해 각 표현을 자연스럽게 익히세요. 영어 쉐도잉 기술을 활용하면 발음을 보다 더 효과적으로 교정할 수 있습니다. 'shadowspeaks'와 같은 쉐도 스피치의 개념을 참고할 수 있습니다.
  4. 실제 대화에 적용: 익힌 표현을 실제 상황에서 사용해 보세요. 친구나 동료와의 대화에서 이 표현들을 자연스럽게 녹여낼 수 있도록 연습하세요.

이 과정을 통해 비즈니스 환경에서의 소통 능력을 향상시키고, 보다 자신감 있게 영어를 구사할 수 있을 것입니다.

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.
