All right, let's get started with the conversation.

You are going to meet Lindsay and Dani, my wonderful neighbors, and immerse yourself in our real life conversation.

Let's watch.

Hi everyone!

I'm here with my lovely neighbors Lindsey and Dani.

And we're going to be talking about your guys' experience living in big city, New York.

growing up in different places and now living somewhat rurally in the country, comparing those experiences.

I think my students will have a lot to say about this because everyone lives all over the world.

Let's start at the very beginning.

Can you tell me where did you grow up?

Like what was it like where you grew up?

I don't know who wants to start but I'll go first.

I grew up in Manhattan in New York and that was all I ever knew.

So very normal for me

but as I've learned later on it's very different than a lot of people I know where they grew up but

you know, I grew up living in an apartment building.

So I had shared an apartment with my family.

And I was on the floor of my apartment had maybe like 30 other people.

I was on the 10th floor of a 16th floor apartment building.

Did you have an elevator?

I did have an elevator.

Okay.

Yeah.

I know a lot of New York apartments are like walk up.

No, that would be that would be a lot to go 10 Manhattan,

which is kind of a residential neighborhood.

There was a park pretty close by along the East River.

So there was a long promenade that we would walk on.

And I also went to Central Park a lot, which is kind of the main big park in Manhattan.

So that was kind of my, you know, outdoor space.

Yeah, which I imagine is really different from growing up elsewhere.

Yeah, no yard.

Yeah.

Nothing like that.

So if you wanted to go outside, did that to go alone to the park.

Good question.

Independence that happens.

So I think when you live in the city, you get more freedom earlier because you don't have to drive.

So, you know, when we're very young, yes, parents would have to like bring us places.

But, you know, I think by like middle school time, like, you know, 10 years old, we're going with friends, walking around the city,

going to parks, going to like restaurants and stuff like that.

I would have been very envious of that as a middle schooler.

So tell me, Danny, I know you didn't grow up in New York.

Where did you grow up and like what was that environment kind of like? to mine.

I grew up, um, in Ohio, uh, suburb of Cleveland, uh, called Beachwood.

And it was, um, the classic suburb where all of the houses were very similar sizes.

We all had a yard, front and a backyard, sidewalks and nice like evenly sized like blocks.

Okay.

And then we had to drive everywhere.

So anything you could walk to?

There was a gas station.

Okay, fine.

And that was about it.

Okay.

You can walk to your school, I think, right?

the only school that I could walk to was the, it was called Hilltop and it was like, third through sixth grade.

Okay.

And so once I was like old enough, like fifth or sixth grade, I would walk, but we had different schools for

um that for um after sixth grade like middle school

and then a different school for high school

and those were all too far very much like a driving culture very much

which i think is more standard in the us yeah than

100

your experience yeah at what age do kids just ride the

101

subway by themselves it kind of varies um i didn't start

102

going up by myself until high school okay um i also

103

didn't really need to go by myself until high school

104

but yeah then i would like ride the subway to school with friends okay

105

and maybe that's different now too probably a little different

106

there's also like I went to high school in a completely different borough than where I was living

107

so I went to school in the Bronx which required the subway okay

108

so that's a long commute yeah how long did

109

that take you an hour as a high school as a high schooler yeah

110

but what do you do as a high schooler in the

111

subway to like entertain yourself you're usually traveling with a group of friends oh that's fun

112

so that's pretty fun um but you know like I don't know I remember doing

113

stuff because you have like an hour to kill.

114

Yeah.

115

I mean, that sounds kind of nice.

116

Like, I think living in the city, you miss nature, but as a teenager, that independence is like the thing that everybody wants.

117

Yes.

118

And maybe it's more...

119

possible.

120

Yeah.

121

Like a little adult.

122

Oh, for sure. For sure.

123

Definitely.

124

So I'm curious for you guys, Now you live here in Asheville.

125

When did you first start to think about moving or leaving the city?

126

Because you guys met in New York.

127

Yes.

128

And I guess that we could back up.

129

At what point did you move to New York?

130

So I moved after college for a job.

131

And then, How long was I there?

132

A couple of years before I met you.

133

Um, And coming from Ohio to New York, like, I was, I wouldn't say overwhelmed,

134

but I knew that this wasn't like what I wanted for like forever.

135

Okay.

136

And so when we met, like, I was pretty like honest.

137

And I said, you know, like, I don't, I don't think that I see myself here forever.

138

I'd like to like move eventually.

139

Okay.

140

At the time, I was like, "New York forever !" But you were like, "I love Danny !" "It's okay, we'll figure it out !" Exactly, exactly.

141

He had to like slowly convince me.

142

Which I think we both...

143

had actually never really hiked before meeting each other and we kind of got into nature together.

144

So we started like vacationing and like hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,

145

oh, New York City has none of this to offer.

146

We took a lot of road trips to like Maine and there's like, you know, national parks and things like that.

147

Yeah.

148

That was how we were vacationing.

149

You're sneaky, like I'm going to show Lindsay other places and maybe she'll want to move.

150

It worked out.

151

Well, I got to say, I think like more so than me, Lindsay really loved the outdoors and like just the fresh air.

152

So it wasn't hard to convince her.

153

Yeah.

154

It's just like within you somewhere.

155

Yes, it was there.

156

It was there.

157

Great work immersing yourself in that clip of a real -life conversation with three native English speakers.

158

It's kind of easy to just understand my voice alone during these lessons, but when you add one extra person, and then another extra person,

159

this can really make it a little more difficult to understand.

160

So with this conversation breakdown method,

161

it will be much easier to understand and you will be amazed at how your listening skills and your speaking skills improve.

162

So let's go to the second part of today's lesson, which is immersing yourself by learning three key vocabulary phrases.

163

words in your daily life, and these words were used in the conversation you just saw.

164

Let's watch.

165

Are you ready to get started?

166

I'm ready.

167

All right.

168

Let's get started with the first phrase.

169

To have an hour or to have time to kill.

170

And this doesn't mean you're killing anything.

171

It just means that you have time that is not scheduled.

172

It is time that you have free to do anything that you want.

173

Although sometimes you might be kind of like stuck.

174

So the example that comes to my mind is if you're in line somewhere

175

have somewhere that you are but you can't go and do something so you just have time to kill.

176

So if you're in the airport and you're waiting for the airplane, you might say, I have time to kill.

177

I'll read this book or I've got an hour to kill.

178

So I'll call my mom, for example.

179

So this is time that you don't have something specific to do.

180

You just have to wait or you have a gap between some kind of scheduled event.

181

You might say I have time to kill.

182

Yeah, I like that distinction that you're kind of forced to have free time because you're waiting for something, but it's not happening now.

183

So I have an hour to kill until this event.

184

I can't go off and do something else.

185

I have to just be a little bit careful about what I do during that free time.

186

And that's how it was used in the conversation.

187

Lindsay was talking about her commute to school on the subway, and she said it took an hour, which to me sounds like a long time to kill, to kill.

188

It's also a long time to go to school like that's a long commute.

189

In the rest of the US, if you said your school was an hour away, I know Americans are known for driving long distances,

190

but that's a long time to get to school every day.

191

But for her, she seemed kind of normal about it.

192

She just said, well, you know what?

193

I did my homework because I had an hour to kill.

194

Yeah, and you can actually use your hands in the subway.

195

That's nice.

196

Yeah, when you're driving, you can't do homework.

197

So she was saying that she adapted to that scenario.

198

She couldn't really do very much during that free time, but she could do homework and that doesn't sound that bad having a forced hour of doing homework.

199

Yeah.

200

Okay.

201

Not too bad.

202

I kind of want an hour to sit there and do nothing.

203

Yeah.

204

Yeah.

205

I guess that's what our kids do when you drive them to school.

206

Yeah.

207

They have 30 minutes to kill and you're forced to drive.

208

I drive Theo to work, well, to school and work for me every day.

209

And he seems to enjoy that ride.

210

And we just, we have time to kill.

211

We have 30 minutes to kill.

212

And so we listen to an audio book usually, sometimes he's coloring or writing back there.

213

He's always doing something.

214

I guarantee that.

215

Very active child.

216

All right, let's watch the original clip so

217

that you can see how an hour to kill and a time to kill was used.

218

Let's watch.

219

I don't know.

220

I remember doing homework on the subway and stuff because you had like an hour to kill.

221

Yeah.

222

I don't know.

223

I remember doing homework on the subway and stuff because you had like an hour to kill.

224

Yeah.

225

The third vocabulary phrase is to see myself or to see yourself.

226

And here we're not talking about looking in the mirror.

227

It's a little more figurative than that.

228

We're talking about imagining yourself in a certain place or time in the future.

229

So for example, in the conversation with Lindsay and Danny, when they met, Lindsay was a lifer in New York.

230

She had lived forever in New York and she had no plans of going anywhere else or moving anywhere else.

231

But Danny had come into New York and was living there.

232

And he said he was honest with her and just said, you know what, I don't see myself living here forever.

233

I would like to move at some point.

234

And that's really great.

235

That's a good beginning of a relationship, some honesty.

236

But he used that expression to see myself.

237

I don't imagine myself Living in New York, forever and i think that's a really common

238

and great way to use this yeah

239

so you can use it in the negative sense like

240

that like i can't see myself staying in new york forever but you can use it the other way too like

241

I can see myself moving to the mountains near Asheville.

242

Wouldn't that be nice for me personally?

243

I often use this in the negative.

244

For example, if there is a car I didn't want, like, let's say a Tesla Cybertruck,

245

I might say I can't see myself or I can't really see myself driving a Cybertruck.

246

I might look a little awkward in it.

247

Maybe everybody does.

248

I don't know.

249

But I I could see myself in a Tesla Model 3.

250

want to go the electric route, but most likely I'm going to drive a Honda Civic.

251

Okay, so we're going from absurd car to like slightly less absurd to very normal.

252

Exactly.

253

Actually, the reality is I can really only see myself driving a minivan for the rest of my life.

254

Minivan for life.

255

How about you?

256

What vehicle do you see yourself in?

257

10 years from now?

258

Well, I think I can see myself driving the same cars

259

that we have now because I hate shopping for cars and doing research, which usually that's your job.

260

and our guy and we have a toyota

261

and a toyota car lasts forever so that's the dream hopefully

262

so i can see myself driving the same car i think the van i hope

263

so yeah i mean in 10 years our kids Matilda is going to be 11 years old.

264

That's still a child.

265

We're still going to be hauling around lots of stuff and kids, and it's going to be kid life still.

266

I can personally see myself updating the car a little bit.

267

OK.

268

Yeah.

269

I can see some kind of dragster out there.

270

Well, maybe that's something we can talk about in the future.

271

Well, let's watch the original clip so that you can see how to see yourself was used in the conversation.

272

Let's watch.

273

And so when we met, like I was pretty like honest and I said, you know, like, I don't I don't think that I see myself here forever.

274

I'd like to like move eventually.

275

Okay.

276

And so when we met, like I was pretty like honest and I said, you know, like, I don't I don't think that I see myself here forever.

277

I'd like to like move eventually.

278

Okay.

279

The next expression is to have something to offer, and you can use this in both the positive or the negative way.

280

For example, you can say he has a lot to offer, which is kind of generally saying that this person can help you in some way.

281

So if you're hiring somebody, you might say.

282

oh yeah, I think Dan has a lot to offer here.

283

So you're not really saying specifically what he or she could do, but you're saying that they can bring something to the table that would,

284

there's another expression, something to the table that will help you in some way, but you can also use it in the negative way.

285

So yeah, Dan over there, he's got nothing to offer us.

286

He's not going to help.

287

He's actually going to hinder us a lot.

288

Keep him away from this company.

289

Thank you very much. to extreme.

290

Well, we won't say Dan, we'll say Sam.

291

Okay, Sam.

292

Yeah, we're definitely talking about Sam.

293

Sam.

294

So in the conversation with Lindsay and Danny, they used this in the negative sense.

295

They were talking about all the things that they liked that were not in New York.

296

They like hiking, being outdoors.

297

And they realized that New York City had none of those things.

298

They've already named those things.

299

New York City had none of those things to offer.

300

So the phrase for all of these variations is exactly the same.

301

We're just swapping out one word to have none of this to offer, to have nothing to offer, to have something to offer, or to have a lot to offer.

302

And this is a great phrase you can use in an interview.

303

So Dan uses this in a negative way.

304

Don't hire him.

305

He has nothing to offer.

306

But if you want to get hired, you could go to the interview and in that interview process, to offer this company.

307

You're not saying, here's my specific skills yet.

308

He probably should say that at some point.

309

But when you say, "I have a lot to offer," you're really saying, I have a lot of skills that I can use to help this company.

310

But we can also use that in daily life in those other phrases as well that have nothing to offer.

311

I hope that I have something to offer you with this course.

312

Yeah, I believe that the Fearless Fluency Club has a lot to offer.

313

Oh, yeah, I hope so too.

314

Yeah, maybe you were taking other English courses in the past, and you realized that now they have nothing to offer you because you have learned everything that they could teach you.

315

And now when you studied Vanessa's lessons, you realized, oh, this has something to offer me.

316

This has a lot to offer me.

317

I hope that that's All right, let's watch the original clip from the conversation so that you can see how none of this to offer was used.

318

Let's watch.

319

So we started like vacationing and like, hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,

320

oh, New York City has none of this to offer.

321

So we started like vacationing and like, hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,

322

oh, New York City has none of this to offer.

323

Great work learning those three daily life English phrases that you heard in the real conversation with Lindsay and Dani.

324

Thank you so much to Lindsay and Dani for letting me share this conversation with you.

/l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: phrasal /ˈfɹeɪzəl/, subtitle /ˈsʌbtaɪtəl/, haul /hɔl/
/h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, hike /haɪk/, hinder /ˈhɪndɚ/, haul /hɔl/

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.
