1
Hey, Lindsay, how are you?
2
Hey, Michelle, doing great.
3
How are you today?
4
I'm good.
5
Lindsay, what's your favorite kind of book to read?
6
Oh, I really like reading novels.
7
Right now I'm reading
8
Wild by Cheryl Strayed, the story of the woman that hikes the Pacific Crest Trail.
9
It's a great one.
10
And she's such a good writer, actually.
11
You're rereading it, right?
12
Yes.
13
Yes.
14
Wow.
15
That's great.
16
Are you finding different things from when you read it the first time.
17
Is this your second time or more?
18
It's the second time.
19
Yeah.
20
It is interesting to kind of, I am finding, I'm kind of taking it in differently.
21
My perspective is different from 10 or 15 years ago when I read it before.
22
So yeah, it is really interesting.
23
Do you like to read textbooks?
24
I can't say I do, Michelle. Do you?
25
No, I can't imagine just, you know, the end of the night trying to relax, you know, glass of wine and a textbook.
26
No, thanks.
27
Exactly.
28
But today we are going to talk about the word textbook
29
and we're going to talk about a really interesting way to use it.
30
That's not how you would think.
31
Yeah.
32
It's not boring.
33
Like reading a textbook.
34
It's actually kind of slangy and fun.
35
I actually, I really like it.
36
Yeah, exactly.
37
So we're going to show our listeners, let our listeners in on a little secret of how to be natural in English.
38
But first I do want to remind our listeners, Michelle, where is a great where's the best place to consume
39
this podcast oh it's on our app lindsey we have a really great app that's available for android
40
and ios and gosh you can get
41
so much over here including your personal power
42
or uh playlist of words right now your personal power list vocabulary words yes yeah exactly you can get transcripts
43
that you can follow along with it's just great, Lindsay.
44
And what else do we want to say about our app?
45
Well, we now have these special role plays.
46
They are vocabulary recap role plays at the end of each week.
47
They're only in the app.
48
So you won't see them if you're listening in another podcast player or YouTube.
49
You do need to be in the app and you do need to be a premium member to see those.
50
But what we do is we take all the vocabulary words
51
that were highlighted from the week in the transcripts in the app
52
and we put them into one vocab one really cool role play
53
so you see it in a new context
54
and this is what we need to learn a new word is see new contexts for words all right
55
that's great yeah i love it i love just mixing everything together to to finish off the week
56
so to get
57
that app guys go to allearsenglish .com app
58
that's a p p all right sounds good we'll see you guys over there All right.
59
So Lindsay, do you hear people use the word textbook when they're not talking about an actual textbook?
60
I definitely do, Michelle.
61
That's why I'm glad we're talking about this today.
62
So I'm excited to explain to our listeners how to do that, how to use it in more of a slang way, a commentary.
63
Yeah.
64
I've been meaning to do this episode for a while.
65
It always kind of enters.
66
I think it's one of those things where I hear it
67
and I think should do an episode and I hear it again.
68
And then finally, I'm glad I remembered to do it.
69
So this is a really fun one.
70
So when you use textbook in a different way, that doesn't actually mean a textbook.
71
It's used to describe people and their behavior or how something is done.
72
Sometimes it's a good thing.
73
Sometimes it's bad.
74
But it's mostly just saying something is exactly what is expected or what someone would imagine or how some would act.
75
The idea is that it is what you would see in a textbook, right?
76
So if you look up, you know, how something about English in a textbook,
77
the idea is that's what you would find if there were a textbook on this subject.
78
Exactly.
79
I love this.
80
And you can hear this in so many different places, right?
81
We have some examples
82
and then maybe we have some examples from our lives
83
it just comes up all the time from different directions right exactly
84
so instead of a long -winded explanation like i just gave let's give some examples yeah
85
that was kind of long but it was good yeah
86
that was a very long -winded strange explanation sorry guys well here's an example this problem is not
87
that complicated it's actually pretty textbook we have to remember our clients and their needs.
88
That must be our guide.
89
Okay.
90
So it's a standard problem.
91
Okay.
92
Standard.
93
That's a really good way to describe it.
94
Standard.
95
Yep.
96
It's like, this is the problem that we studied in marketing school, right?
97
For example, business school.
98
Right.
99
Okay.
100
Right. And textbook.
101
I need it in a textbook, right?
102
So it could be that something actually would have been in a textbook, but here we go.
103
Here's another one.
104
Her behavior is you textbook teenager right now i won't think anything of it textbook teenager i love it
105
that's so funny oh your kids are heading in that direction michelle get ready
106
so what does that mean
107
when i say textbook teenager don't scare me lindsay you kind of expect from a teenager a little angsty
108
when i think of teenagers i mean obviously not everyone
109
but i mean i had this you know
110
this time especially more pre -teen years early teen like 11 12 13 14 angsty, railing against their parents a little bit,
111
rebelling against their parents, talking back.
112
Right.
113
Right.
114
Right.
115
Yeah.
116
And sometimes I think as a parent, you know, it's probably pretty easy to get offended by this.
117
But so that's why somebody might say, oh, it's textbook teenager, you know, meaning they'll grow out of that.
118
This is what always happens.
119
Right.
120
Totally.
121
It's exactly what we would expect from a teenager.
122
So it's kind of a reassuring
123
when you say this to someone it normalizes what they're going through what they're dealing with yeah
124
or what's another example the eye exam didn't reveal anything
125
that wasn't textbook i think we know how to handle
126
this now sometimes you don't want to hear like for example a few weeks ago
127
i had a bout with shingles
128
which i thought was something like 80 year old women god but apparently you can get it at any age
129
and i had it on my face and it was
130
so painful and awful and i did a telehealth appointment and I thought I had hives.
131
I thought I had hives.
132
And as soon as I got on the call, the doctor saw my face and he said, Oh, this is textbook shingles.
133
It's just one side of your, of your body.
134
That's the last thing I want to hear.
135
But that is another place we might hear it from a doctor.
136
Um, they're literally saying like, this is what I studied in medical school.
137
This is a perfect presentation.
138
I know exactly what this is right you
139
and yeah you might hear also i think people in the mental health industry using this right um
140
that you know the way it it's textbook uh ocd it's textbook you know sure sure sure something like
141
that as opposed to maybe a more complicated diagnosis where maybe it's a combination of things
142
or they're not sure
143
or they're what do they call it differential diagnoses where there are other things
144
that it could be I'm not a doctor but you know
145
so this that's the opposite of this this is
146
when something is very clearly expected or kind of the presentation of something a behavior
147
or a condition right yeah exactly all right Michelle we are back
148
so how else might we express this
149
if we want to say the same thing but we don't want to always say textbook textbook
150
Well, this goes back to what you said in the beginning, standard, right?
151
So you could also say typical, standard or typical, but you could say this all looks pretty standard to me.
152
No surprises here.
153
Yep. Or quintessential.
154
Now I like this one.
155
It's a little more, has more personality.
156
I think, um, they are the quintessential cute family.
157
So much fun to be around.
158
Yeah.
159
Yeah.
160
We could do another episode on that word because that one is high level, Michelle.
161
That is definitely.
162
Or a classic.
163
You could say, this is classic
164
Tiffany late again.
165
I like that one too.
166
I like it.
167
This is what she does, right?
168
Tiffany might not love it when you say that, but what feels most natural to you, Michelle?
169
Which of these?
170
I think classic or textbook.
171
What do you think?
172
Yeah.
173
I like classic too, especially for a person.
174
This is classic you know whoever john he's doing this again
175
this is something i expect to see from him it's what he does lindsay do you have an example
176
that you can think of that's textbook in your life or
177
or what is textbook lindsay or textbook michelle do we have anything that we can think of
178
textbook lindsay is definitely coming up with lots of big ideas
179
and then getting very and trying to uh trying to execute on all of them
180
and getting stressed out that i can't get them all done you know, I love, I get like this dreaminess in this dreamy state.
181
We could do this.
182
We could do that.
183
We could do it all at the same time.
184
We don't need to wait.
185
No, we could do them all.
186
That is textbook, Lindsay.
187
What about textbook?
188
Yeah, it's good.
189
What about you, Michelle?
190
Textbook Michelle is, um, is, uh, saying that it's a good idea to go to sleep early tonight
191
and then it's 1 30 in the morning and I'm still awake.
192
You're scrolling Instagram or something.
193
Yeah.
194
Uh, so that's textbook Michelle.
195
Got it.
196
Okay.
197
Yeah.
198
You've shared with us before that you're a night owl. So interesting.
199
All right, good.
200
Yeah.
201
All right.
202
Let's do a role play.
203
So here we are reviewing notes that our friend took for us in class.
204
Okay, here we go.
205
Can you read this?
206
No. Wow, this is really textbook Michael.
207
I can never read his handwriting.
208
Yeah, it seems pretty standard to me.
209
Well, I'm just thankful for the notes.
210
Seems like this was a quintessential boring lecture.
211
Seems that way.
212
Classic for this professor.
213
That's true.
214
Yeah, very common conversation you might have with college friends, right?
215
Did you often in college have friends take notes for you and skip class or did you?
216
Oh, no, no. I'm not a class skipper.
217
No. What about you?
218
No, of course not.
219
Are you kidding me?
220
I think we're the goody two shoes.
221
We're the goody goodies.
222
Yeah.
223
No, I didn't skip class in college.
224
Nope.
225
I needed to be there taking the notes.
226
Yeah, exactly.
227
Exactly.
228
All right.
229
All right.
230
So you said, you said, can you read this?
231
And I said, no. And then you said, wow, this is really textbook Michael.
232
I can never read his handwriting.
233
So what are you saying here about Michael?
234
That we all know that he has terrible handwriting.
235
So we kind of expected it.
236
Yes, exactly.
237
And then what did I say?
238
You said, yep, seems pretty standard. So, yep.
239
Nice.
240
And then we brought in this word that I love, which is quintessential.
241
Seems like this was the quintessential boring lecture.
242
So maybe the professor is very known for these boring lectures, right?
243
He's got a reputation around campus.
244
Exactly.
245
And that's why you said, seems that way, classic for this professor.
246
Yes.
247
I love this conversation.
248
Really good.
249
Really good.
250
Yeah.
251
Where else can our listeners go, Michelle, to keep listening to Allers English today?
252
Guys, go on over to episode 2366.
253
That was Don't Blow Off This English Vocabulary Episode.
254
Excellent.
255
Where should we leave our listeners?
256
This is just a really interesting way to connect.
257
I mean, we were talking about it a little bit in the beginning it can be used to reassure someone of something.
258
It can be used to poke fun of something.
259
So there's just a lot of ways that you can use this to actually connect.
260
You can even use it to poke fun at yourself.
261
So this is very versatile, this word and this idea.
262
And it's definitely a good idea to give it a try.
263
But I wouldn't say everything is textbook, right?
264
We don't want to overdo it.
265
Yeah.
266
And there's a little bit, I think this is a fantastic word.
267
Be a little bit careful when you're, you're talking about people because maybe they're trying to change.
268
And if you're, oh, that's textbook you, you did it again, but they're actually trying to change, then that could be hurtful.
269
But generally I think this is used in a pretty harmless way.
270
Don't you think?
271
Yeah.
272
I think so.
273
I think so. But yeah.
274
So give it a try and yeah, let us know how it goes.
275
All right, Michelle, you have a great day.
276
I'll talk to you soon.
277
All right.
278
Bye.

Bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
