Hello English learners and welcome to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
And I'm Erika.
4
Erika, today we are really excited, right?
5
Yeah, we've got a great lesson today all about real English.
6
Exactly, English that you hear in movies and TV shows.
7
Yeah, speaking of movies, today's podcast takes place at the movies.
8
Exactly, and that's why it's so fun today.
9
Uh-huh.
10
Okay, great.
11
So before we listen to our dialogue, let's take a look at our vocabulary preview.
12
Vocabulary preview.
13
In today's vocabulary preview, we have two words.
14
And the first word is inconsiderate.
15
Inconsiderate.
16
Inconsiderate.
17
So Erica, what is it when someone is inconsiderate?
18
If someone's inconsiderate, they're not thinking about the feelings of other people.
19
Right, so for example, yesterday I was on the subway and it was full.
20
Right.
21
And an old lady was standing there and no one got up to give her their seat.
22
That was pretty inconsiderate.
23
Great, so now let's take a look at our second word and it's keep it down.
24
Keep it down.
25
Keep it down.
26
Keep it down.
27
So why don't we listen to some examples on how we use keep it down so we can understand.
28
Example one.
29
Excuse me, do you mind keeping it down?
30
It's after midnight.
31
Okay, sorry.
32
Example 2 I'm trying to study.
33
Do you mind keeping it down?
34
Example 3 Do you mind keeping it down?
35
I'm trying to watch the game.
36
So that means, be quiet.
37
Yes, don't make so much noise.
38
I used to hear this one all the time from my mother.
39
I think we all did when we were children.
40
Yeah.
41
Okay, so now let's listen to the dialogue for the first time.
42
It's going to be kind of fast.
43
But don't worry about it if you can't understand everything.
44
By the end of today's lesson, you will understand this dialogue.
45
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
46
It's so inconsiderate.
47
Don't worry about it.
48
It's not such a big deal.
49
Oh, I can't hear the thing!
50
Excuse me, can you keep it down?
51
Sure, sorry about that Someone's phone is ringing.
52
Honey, I think it's your phone.
53
Did you forget to switch it off?
54
Oh no, you're right.
55
That's so embarrassing.
56
Do you mind keeping it down?
57
I'm trying to watch a movie here.
58
Well, I hate it when people's phones ring when I'm watching a movie.
59
I think everyone gets kind of angry, but we're going to talk about this a little bit later.
60
Why don't we take a look now at our language takeaway?
61
Language takeaway.
62
So the language takeaway is our most important words for today's lesson.
63
And our first word today is...
64
Not such a big deal.
65
Not such a big deal.
66
Not such a big deal.
67
So when something is not a big deal, it's...
68
Not a big problem.
69
It's not important, right?
70
Exactly.
71
Okay, let's listen to some examples.
72
Example 1.
73
I can't get these files to you by tomorrow.
74
It's okay, it's not such a big deal.
75
Example 2 Uh, I'm really sorry.
76
I'm gonna be 10 minutes late for the meeting.
77
It's not such a big deal.
78
Peter and Liam are late too.
79
Now let's look at our second word and it's switch it off.
80
Switch it off.
81
Switch it off.
82
Switch it off.
83
So this word means to turn it off.
84
To turn something off.
85
Now, we can use it in three different ways.
86
Yeah, this one is a little bit complicated because it changes a little bit depending on how you use it.
87
So, Marco, I think you've got some examples for us.
88
Right, so for example, I can say, Did you switch off your phone?
89
Or you could say, Did you switch your phone off?
90
Right, or simply you can ask, Did you switch it off?
91
I think this one is a little bit hard.
92
Let's look at a couple more examples.
93
Okay, so I can say, for example, switch off the TV.
94
Switch the TV off.
95
Or switch it off.
96
Yeah, I think that's a little bit more clear.
97
Yeah.
98
But you know what?
99
We even had trouble with that one, didn't we?
100
Yeah, we had to do it a couple of times.
101
Okay, now let's look at our last word and it's can't hear a thing.
102
Can't hear a thing.
103
I can't hear a thing.
104
I can't hear a thing.
105
Okay, we have some examples for this phrase, so let's listen.
106
Example 1.
107
What's going on in there?
108
I don't know.
109
I can't hear a thing.
110
Example 2 What?
111
I'm sorry, this music is too loud.
112
I can't hear a thing!
113
So that's like saying, I can't hear.
114
Exactly.
115
I can't hear anything.
116
Right.
117
So now we are ready to listen to our dialogue a second time.
118
It's going to be slower.
119
This time, listen for some of the key words we were explaining.
120
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
121
It's so inconsiderate.
122
Don't worry about it.
123
It's not such a big deal.
124
I can't hear a thing.
125
Excuse me.
126
Can you keep it down?
127
Sure.
128
Sorry about that.
129
Someone's phone is ringing.
130
Honey, I think it's your phone.
131
Did you forget to switch it off?
132
Oh no. You're right.
133
That's so embarrassing.
134
Do you mind keeping it down?
135
I'm trying to watch a movie here.
136
Okay, great.
137
Now with the dialogue slower, it's really understandable.
138
Yeah, I think you could catch those keywords a lot better.
139
Perfect.
140
So now we are ready to look at putting it together.
141
Putting it together.
142
So in putting it together, we help you use a great phrase in different ways.
143
And today's phrase is, do you mind?
144
Do you mind?
145
Do you mind?
146
Okay, so let's listen to some examples on how you can use this phrase in different situations.
147
Example 1 Do you mind holding my coat for me?
148
Example 2 Oh, I forgot my wallet.
149
Do you mind paying for dinner?
150
Example 3 Do you mind turning off your phone?
151
So this phrase is usually pretty polite.
152
I could say to you, Marco, do you mind holding my coat for me?
153
And that's really polite.
154
Yeah, so would you mind, do you mind are very polite phrases.
155
But depending on your voice and how you use your tone, it could be a little bit sarcastic, right?
156
It would be a little bit rude if you say, would you mind keeping it down?
157
Exactly, like we heard in our dialogue.
158
Yeah, so that's not so polite.
159
Yeah, exactly.
160
I mean, in English, you have to be careful
161
because your tone of voice tells the other person how you're feeling if you're angry, sad, or just like in any other language.
162
Yeah, that's true.
163
So, I mean, using a phrase like, do you mind, is a great phrase, but make sure you keep a positive tone in your voice.
164
Exactly.
165
So now that we've talked about all these great things, we can listen to the dialogue a third time, but it'll be at its normal speed.
166
I have this itchy, itchy, it's like a ratchet, it's just itchy, it's like behind the door.
167
Those people in front of us are making so much noise.
168
It's so inconsiderate.
169
Don't worry about it, it's not such a big deal.
170
No, I can't hear the thing!
171
Excuse me, can you keep it down?
172
Sure, sorry about that.
173
Someone's phone is ringing!
174
Honey, I think it's your phone.
175
Did you forget to switch it off?
176
Oh no!
177
You're right.
178
That's so embarrassing.
179
Do you mind keeping it down?
180
I'm trying to watch a movie here.
181
So I know that in different countries there are different habits about watching movies.
182
Yeah, that's definitely true.
183
Erika, what's it like in Canada?
184
Well, in Canada, it's really common to eat popcorn and candy and maybe chips while you're watching a movie.
185
But if your phone rings in the movie theater, this is a big problem.
186
I imagine it is.
187
I mean, I would be upset also.
188
What about in Ecuador?
189
Well, in Ecuador and in South America, usually people can bring in food from the outside.
190
Really?
191
Yeah, so it's not really uncommon, depending on the city, to find people bringing in chicken or some sort of like really smelly food.
192
No way!
193
So, you get either really hungry or really upset, but that's what happens.
194
You know, I used to live in Switzerland, and in Switzerland you would have to eat before you watch the movie.
195
There was no popcorn, no soda, no candy inside the movie theater.
196
Can you imagine that?
197
I could not live with that
198
because the whole purpose of going to the movies is to have some popcorn and relax and have a good time.
199
You can't have a movie without popcorn.
200
Exactly.
201
Okay, so we've talked a lot about how to ask someone to be quiet today.
202
And I hope that you'll go out and try a few of these phrases in your daily life.
203
Yes, and I hope also that you visit our website at EnglishPod.com and leave all your questions and comments.
204
Marco and I are there every day, so we'll be happy to answer your questions.
205
But until next time, 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.
