Let's not beat around the bush,

If English is not your native language,
6
you may think it's difficult to learn.
7
Well, as someone who grew up speaking English, let me just say...
8
Yes, yeah, you're absolutely right.
9
English sucks.
10
It's confusing, there are too many rules and too many exceptions,
11
I before E except on Tuesdays and during full moons or something,
12
the birth of my channel literally begins with a video of how I hate pronouncing the word rural.
13
And now, I'm gonna complain about idioms.
14
Idioms are a group of words established by a usage as having meaning not deducible from those of the individual words,
15
blah blah blah.
16
Basically, figures of speech, alright?
17
Raining cats and dogs, meaning it's raining heavily.
18
It's raining a lot, but it has nothing to do with cats and dogs.
19
Who thought of this morbid metaphor?
20
They could have chosen rocks,
21
barrels, tires, anything else that was heavy and not alive.
22
If someone told me it was raining tables and chairs outside,
23
I'd be like, Oh man,
24
that's some heavy rain, I should probably stay inside.
25
But if I found out cats and dogs were falling out of the sky,
26
I'd be like, what the f*** are we waiting for Jeremy?
27
We gotta save him!
28
Idioms help us express simple feelings in a more illustrated and colorful way.
29
And yes, I did look into the origins of these sayings,
30
but personally some of them just don't make sense upfront.
31
Turn a blind eye, or refusing to acknowledge something which you know to be real.
32
Pretend something didn't happen.
33
Like when you catch your sibling trying to sneak out of the house after being grounded,
34
and then they threaten you not to tell on them or else they'll punch you in your sleep,
35
you turn a blind eye.
36
Also, that's blackmail.
37
Okay, I get the blind eye part,
38
but why do you need to turn it?
39
If you're already blind, you won't be able to see anyway whether or not you're turned.
40
That's redundant.
41
Either turn or be blind.
42
They both accomplish the same level of visual ignorance.
43
If it was turn an eye blind, now that makes sense.
44
Ah, it's just more morbid.
45
Eat your heart out to feel great sadness,
46
often used as a taunt towards someone to encourage jealousy or regret.
47
My goodness, another gruesome idiom.
48
It's bad enough that I have to take my heart out to be able to eat it,
49
but then I gotta eat it.
50
This expression is often used with the name of someone famous as if to make them feel jealous of your accomplishment.
51
Hey, what do you think of my painting?
52
Wow, look at that.
53
Eat your heart out, Michelangelo, am I right?
54
I'm already dead.
55
In a pickle, to be in a troublesome situation.
56
Look, you could have picked a ditch,
57
a well, a chimney, anything that could contain a body, but a pickle?
58
Hey, I got your message.
59
Ran as fast as I can.
60
What's wrong?
61
Just help me out, no questions asked.
62
It's all downhill from here,
63
used to signify that the situation will only get worse from that point on.
64
But going downhill is the best part!
65
Think of all the things and activities you do going downhill.
66
Skiing, sledding, biking, hell, walking.
67
None of these are fun going uphill.
68
I guess in its defense the idiom could mean being out of control while going downhill,
69
but honestly you could be out of control at any level of steepness.
70
I've fallen up the stairs just as much as I've fallen down them.
71
Tickled pink.
72
To be delighted.
73
Yo, Reggie, got anything good for your birthday?
74
Yeah, actually, my parents finally got me a switch.
75
Wow, you must be tickled pink.
76
Yeah, you're right, I guess it only works for white people.
77
Which I don't understand, because when you're dead,
78
you shouldn't be able to feel anything, let alone embarrassment.
79
Ugh, Cindy, look at her top.
80
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something so ugly.
81
Ugh.
82
Oh, don't worry.
83
I'll make sure they don't find your body.
84
Happy as a clam, an exaggeration of happiness.
85
The complete idiom is actually as happy as a clam at high tide,
86
because that's when they're least likely to be attacked by predators,
87
but many go with a shortened version in reference to how clams look like they're always smiling.
88
Uh, nope, I disagree.
89
It's just the angle of which you're looking at them.
90
If you look at them from this angle,
91
it looks like they're frowning.
92
And rightfully so, because I like clam chowder,
93
and being delicious is not a compliment you should be smiling about.
94
Goody Two Shoes.
95
Used to refer to someone who always does everything right and follows the rules,
96
to the point of annoyance.
97
Often used negatively.
98
Well, I did you guys a favor and read the story of Goody Two Shoes to see why.
99
Let me summarize it for you.
100
Marjorie, meanwhile, and her brother were two homeless orphans.
101
Marjorie grew up only wearing one shoe.
102
One day they meet a rich gentleman who buys her new clothes and a new pair of shoes.
103
She was so excited and grateful that she exclaimed it to everyone she met,
104
earning her name, Goody Two Shoes.
105
She believed the rich man was good and wise because of his great learning,
106
and so she learned to read and helped teach all the children in the village to learn as well.
107
She prevented a man from being robbed and murdered because she warned him after overhearing some men plotting about it.
108
She saved numerous animals from being abused by people.
109
She was so wise and good that some idiots accused her of being a witch and put her under trial.
110
She proves everyone wrong and continued being the goody two-shoes badass that she is.
111
Why is this used to make fun of people?
112
I strive to be a goody two-shoes and you should too.
113
Piece of cake or pie.
114
An easy or simple task.
115
There's nothing simple about a cake.
116
There's so many different ways to make a cake.
117
I guess if you don't care how it tastes,
118
baking a cake or pie can be simple.
119
But if the quality doesn't matter,
120
then you could easily just use any other food as the idiom.
121
Wow, that cake looks amazing!
122
Did you really make that?
123
Ah, yeah, it was a piece of steak.
124
What?
125
Eat your heart out, Duff Goldman.
126
Is that.. a famous chef or baker?
127
That's a no-brainer!
128
Okay man, I just wanted to know if you made it.
129
And Bob's your uncle.
130
Okay, weirdo.
131
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
132
They already know NordVPN is sponsoring this.
133
But if you're unfamiliar with NordVPN,
134
it's a virtual private network service that helps protect your privacy and security online,
135
ensuring you browse the net anonymously with no data logging using military-grade encryption.

138
Have more than one device?
139
And no problemo!
140
You can protect up to six devices at once.
141
No way, you're pulling my leg!
142
Yes, but I'm telling the truth,
143
and hurry because this deal will end in early September.
144
If you've been on the fence about it,
145
now's the time to decide.
146
The ball is in your court.
147
Again, that's NordVPN.com slash Domix with the code DOMIX for 75% off a 3-year plan plus an extra month for free.
148
Enjoy the new school year!
149

150

Sobre Esta Lição

Nesta lição, você irá explorar o fascinante mundo dos idioms (expressões idiomáticas) em inglês. Idioms são combinações de palavras cuja tradução literal não revela seu verdadeiro significado. Praticar esses termos irá enriquecer seu vocabulário e ajudá-lo a compreender melhor a cultura anglófona. Vamos nos aprofundar em algumas expressões curiosas e discutir como elas podem ser incorporadas à sua fala diária. O objetivo é não apenas entender o significado, mas também praticar a pronúncia utilizando técnicas de shadowspeak, o que irá melhorar sua fluência e naturalidade ao falar inglês.

Vocabulário e Frases-Chave

  • Raining cats and dogs - Chover muito forte.
  • Turn a blind eye - Fazer de conta que não viu; ignorar algo consciente.
  • Eat your heart out - Sentir grande tristeza ou fazer alguém sentir inveja.
  • Blackmail - Chantagem, como quando alguém pressiona outra pessoa a não contar algo.
  • Figures of speech - Figuras de linguagem que tornam a comunicação mais rica.

Dicas de Prática

Para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês através do shadowing em inglês, siga estas dicas enquanto assiste ao vídeo:

  • Ouça atentamente: Preste atenção na entonação e no ritmo do falante. Tente captar a emoção por trás das falas.
  • Repita imediatamente: Imite o que ouve, tentando reproduzir o tom e a velocidade. Isso vai lhe ajudar a internalizar as expressões idiomáticas.
  • Use o shadowspeak: Comunique-se em voz alta, modificando suas vozes para refletir os diferentes sentimentos expressos nas idiossincrasias.
  • Grave sua prática: Ouça suas próprias gravações para detectar áreas de pronúncia que precisam ser ajustadas.
  • Pratique com um parceiro: Se possível, encontre alguém para praticar a pronúncia e a entonação em conjunto, trocando feedbacks.

A prática constante com expressões idiomáticas não apenas aumentará seu vocabulário, mas também ajudará em seu avanço no shadow speech, levando suas habilidades de comunicação a um novo nível. Boa prática!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
