Hello everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello, Judy.

Hello everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I'm great, thank you.

I found a beautiful scarf online yesterday, but I didn't buy it right away.

I want to look at a few more websites first.

Find the best price.

And you, Jake?

I'm good, but a little sad.

I really want new headphones.

Nice ones.

But they're expensive, so I need to wait and save my money first.

Oh, I understand.

Good headphones aren't cheap.

No, they aren't.

But, Judy, I just realized something.

You said you want to look at a few more websites, that's shopping around, and I said I need to save my money, that's saving up.

Those are phrasal verbs.

Yes, and those are two of today's phrasal verbs.

Ooh, phrasal verbs about money and shopping?

Yes!

Today we're going to learn five phrasal verbs for money and shopping, very useful for everyday life.

I love this topic.

Money is something we all think about, and shopping is something we all do.

Exactly.

After today, you'll have five new phrases to talk about it.

Are you ready?

Yes!

Let's do it!

Thank you.

It helps us so much.

We love our listeners.

Okay, now let's start.

I'm ready.

Let's talk about money.

So, Jake, you already know what phrasal verbs are.

A verb plus a small word that changes the meaning.

Yes, like wake up or get together.

We learned some for social situations last time.

exactly and today all five phrasal verbs are about money

and shopping let's begin with our first one save up s

a v e u p save up save up I think

I know this one it's about saving money right yes save

up means to keep money little by little over time for

something you want you don't spend it you put it somewhere safe and it grows.

So it's not just save, it's save up.

What's the difference?

Great question.

Save can mean many things.

Save time, save a file on your computer, but save up is only about money and it means you're doing it slowly,

a little bit every week or every month.

Hmm, let me try.

I'm saving up for new headphones.

Every week I put a little money in a jar.

A jar is a glass container, like for cookies.

That's a perfect example.

You're saving up, little by little, and I love that you used a cookie jar for money.

It's the only jar I have, and it's empty because I ate all the cookies.

That sounds like you, Jake.

And you can also say, I saved up for six months.

That means it took you six months to collect enough money.

Six months, That's a long time.

But for good headphones, it's worth it.

It is.

I saved up for a trip last year.

Every month I put a little money aside, and after five months, I had enough.

Where did you go?

I went to the beach for a week.

It was beautiful.

The water was so blue, and because I saved up, I didn't worry about money.

I could just relax and enjoy.

That's the best feeling.

Having the money ready.

No stress.

Save up.

I really need to do this more.

Our next phrasal verb is one that everyone needs to know.

Payback.

P-A-Y-B-A-C-K.

Payback.

Is that about returning money?

Yes.

Payback means to give money back to someone.

When someone lends you money, you need to pay them back.

Lend means to give someone money for a short time.

So if I borrow $10 from you, I need to pay you back $10.

Exactly.

Borrow means to take money from someone.

Pay back means to return it.

Let me try.

100

Last week, I forgot my wallet at home, so my friend Tom lent me money for lunch.

101

I need to pay him back tomorrow.

102

That's a great example.

103

Tom lent you money, and you'll pay him back.

104

But honestly, I sometimes forget to pay people back.

105

It's bad.

106

I know.

107

Many people forget, but it's important.

108

When someone lends you money, you should pay them back as soon as you can.

109

It's about trust.

110

You're right.

111

I'll pay Tom back tomorrow.

112

I promise.

113

Good.

114

And you can also say, don't worry, I'll pay you back on Friday.

115

It tells the person when they'll get their money.

116

I'll pay you back on Friday.

117

That's clear and simple.

118

I like it.

119

And here's a tip.

120

If someone says, you don't need to pay me back, it means they're giving you the money.

121

It's a gift.

122

I wish more people said that to me.

123

Me too.

124

Now, here's a very useful one.

125

Shop around.

126

S-H-O-P-A-R-O-U-N-D.

127

Shop around.

128

Shop around.

129

You used this at the beginning, right?

130

Looking at different websites for the scarf?

131

Yes!

132

Shop around means to look at different stores or websites before you buy something.

133

You're looking for the best price or the best thing for your money.

134

You don't buy the first thing you see.

135

That's smart.

136

So instead of buying right away, you shop around first.

137

Exactly.

138

For example, I wanted a new phone, so I shopped around for two weeks.

139

I looked at five different websites and I found a great price.

140

Two weeks?

141

That's a lot of shopping around.

142

Well, phones are expensive.

143

It's worth it.

144

And you can shop around for anything.

145

Shoes, food, a place to live, even a haircut.

146

A haircut?

147

You shop around for haircuts? Of course.

148

Some places cost $20, some cost $50.

149

If you shop around, you can find a good one for a good price.

150

Hmm, let me try.

151

I want to buy new headphones, but I'm not going to buy the first ones I see.

152

I'm going to shop around.

153

I'll look at three or four websites and I'll find the best price.

154

Perfect.

155

That's exactly how to use it.

156

Shopping around can save you a lot of money.

157

My mother always says, never buy the first one.

158

Always shop around.

159

Your mother is a wise woman.

160

She really is.

161

And these days, shopping around is even easier.

162

You can do it on your phone.

163

You don't even need to leave your house.

164

That's true.

165

I shop around on my phone all the time, usually when I should be working.

166

Jake!

167

I'm kidding.

168

Only during lunch.

169

Good.

170

Now let's move to number four.

171

Sell out.

172

S-E-L-L-O-U-T.

173

Sell out.

174

Sell out.

175

What does that mean?

176

Sell out means that a store has no more of something.

177

Everything was sold.

178

Nothing is left.

179

It's very popular, so everyone bought it, and now it's gone.

180

Oh, so if a new phone comes out and everyone buys it and the store has zero left, the phone sold out?

181

Exactly.

182

Sold out is the past form.

183

S-O-L-D.

184

Sold out.

185

The new phone sold out in two hours.

186

That means in just two hours every single phone was bought

187

wow two hours that's fast it happens with popular things concert

188

tickets sell out very fast popular shoes sell out new phones

189

sell out can i try last month i finally saved up enough money for my headphones.

190

I was so excited.

191

I went to the website and they were sold out.

192

Every pair.

193

Gone.

194

Oh no!

195

After all that saving up?

196

Yes.

197

I saved up for weeks and then they sold out before I could buy them.

198

I couldn't believe it.

199

Oh, that's so sad.

200

But that's a perfect example of sell out.

201

The headphones were so popular that they sold out.

202

I had to wait two more weeks for the store to get more.

203

Did you buy them?

204

Not yet.

205

I'm still saving up and shopping around.

206

You're using all the phrasal verbs.

207

I love it.

208

Okay, and our last phrasal verb for today.

209

Run out of.

210

R-U-N-O-U-T-O-F.

211

Run out of.

212

Run out of.

213

Is this different from sellout?

214

Great question.

215

Yes.

216

Sellout is about a store.

217

The store doesn't have something anymore because everyone bought it.

218

But run out of is about you.

219

You don't have something anymore.

220

You used it all.

221

Ah, I see.

222

So the store sells out of headphones, but I run out of money.

223

Exactly.

224

That's the perfect way to understand it.

225

The store sold out, that's about the store.

226

I ran out of money, that's about you.

227

Ran out of is the past form, right?

228

R-A-N?

229

Yes.

230

Run, ran, run.

231

I run out of money every month.

232

I ran out of money last week.

233

That's very real for me.

234

At the end of every month, I run out of money.

235

I look at my wallet, and there's nothing inside.

236

Many people feel that way, especially at the end of the month.

237

And run out of isn't only for money.

238

You can run out of many things.

239

We ran out of milk.

240

I ran out of time.

241

She ran out of ideas.

242

Oh, so it works for anything.

243

Milk, time, ideas, money.

244

Yes, anything that you can use up.

245

When there's nothing left, you ran out of it.

246

Let me try one more.

247

Last Sunday, I was making pasta, and I ran out of salt.

248

I had no salt left, so my pasta tasted very plain.

249

Plain means it had no taste.

250

Oh no, pasta without salt, that's not fun.

251

But that's a great example.

252

You ran out of salt.

253

Max still ate it.

254

He doesn't care about salt.

255

Dogs aren't picky.

256

He really isn't.

257

Judy, can you run out of things that aren't real?

258

Like, can you run out of patience?

259

Patience means the ability to wait.

260

Yes, great thinking.

261

I ran out of patience.

262

He ran out of energy.

263

It works for real things and for feelings, too.

264

So I can say I ran out of patience waiting for my headphones.

265

That's perfect and very true, I think.

266

So now we have all five.

267

Let me explain the difference between sell out and run out of one more time.

268

Yes, please.

269

Sell out.

270

The product is gone.

271

The store is empty.

272

The shoes sold out.

273

Run out of.

274

You are empty.

275

You have nothing left.

276

I ran out of money.

277

One is about the thing.

278

The other is about you.

279

The thing sells out.

280

I run out.

281

Got it.

282

Now, Jake, let's play a quick game.

283

I'll say a sentence.

284

You tell me which phrasal verb fits.

285

Ready?

286

Ready.

287

Sentence one.

288

I want to buy a camera.

289

Every month, I put a little money in my jar.

290

I'm...

291

Saving up.

292

Perfect.

293

Next, my friend lent me $20 last week.

294

I need to.. her.. tomorrow.

295

Pay her back.

296

Yes.

297

And the last one.

298

I wanted those shoes, but when I went to the store, they were...

299

Sold out.

300

You got all of them.

301

Now can you tell me a short story using all five phrasal verbs?

302

Save up, pay back, shop around, sell out, and run out of?

303

All five in one story?

304

Okay, let me think.

305

Take your time.

306

Um, so, last month I wanted to buy new headphones.

307

I saved up for three weeks.

308

I put money in my cookie jar every Friday.

309

But then my friend Tom needed help.

310

I lent him some money.

311

He promised to pay me back soon, so I waited.

312

Then Tom paid me back on Monday.

313

Great!

314

Now I had enough money.

315

But I didn't buy right away.

316

I shopped around.

317

I looked at four websites.

318

I found the best price.

319

I clicked buy and the website said sold out.

320

I was so sad.

321

And then at the end of the month, I ran out of money anyway.

322

No headphones, no money, just an empty cookie jar.

323

An empty cookie jar.

324

Jake, that story was amazing.

325

You used all five phrasal verbs perfectly.

326

And it was so funny and so real.

327

Too real.

328

That's my life.

329

But you'll get those headphones one day.

330

I believe in you.
