I'm just gonna throw it out there.

It's good timing that you clicked on this video.

I think it's going to do the trick.

Are you confused?

Do you want to learn advanced phrases just like these ones?

In today's lesson, I'm going to teach you how to use these advanced phrases.

I'm going to give you really good examples to help you understand them.

And I promise native speakers like myself actually use these in our everyday English.

If you want to learn more with me and have me be your English teacher, make sure to visit English with Kayla .com.

Now let's get started with the lesson.

One phrase that you'll hear native speakers used all the time.

It's very positive.

Uplifting phrase is good timing.

Good timing.

This can be used so many different ways.

It's very versatile.

Maybe you've heard it before.

Let's say that you bring someone coffee and they'll say, oh, good timing.

I am exhausted.

That's just kind of complimenting like the way that you brought the coffee right when they needed it.

Or you might say, oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.

And they might say, no, good timing.

We're just getting started.

this is perfect you have good timing or

if something comes again like the coffee just

when you need it you say oh good timing i was just needing

that so again phrase is very versatile just to mean

that something happened at the most helpful

or the most perfect moment i am someone

that i like to fix things myself if i can especially nowadays

when you can just use ai or go on youtube

and look up directions but i don't always have the perfect tool but sometimes if i go in my garage tools, I can find something that will do the trick.

Does this do the trick?

So we use this phrase, it will do the trick, or you can say this will do the trick.

If it's something that will work, and it will help you solve a problem or a situation.

Again, it doesn't have to be a perfect solution to a problem.

Let's say you're at your friend's house and you say, I'm really cold, do you have a sweater?

And they might say, I don't have any extra sweaters, but I have this sweatshirt.

And you might say, oh yeah, that will do the trick.

Thank you.

So it's not the exact thing that you solve the problem of you being cold.

So again, when we think about tools or ingredients for food, something that might not be the perfect match or exactly what you were looking for,

but it's going to do the job that you need it to do.

It will do the trick is what we say.

A great way to casually suggest something when you're not trying to be super serious or forceful, or you just don't feel like you wanna be bossy,

is you might say, "I'm just gonna throw something out there." - I'm just gonna throw something out there.

a friend group or maybe you're at work

and you don't want to be too assertive or assumptive

and think that everyone wants to listen to you

but you have an idea maybe just casually say I'm just

going to throw it out there could we try this maybe at work you're suggesting a solution

and you're not being so you know assertive where everyone might be annoyed with you

or maybe someone will say well that wouldn't work or oh let's try it since you just threw it out there

with your friends, maybe everyone's trying to decide where they want to go for the evening, for dinner or an activity.

And you might say, I'm just going to throw it out there.

Could we go to this restaurant?

Just a suggestion.

It's a really nice casual way of suggesting something without being too assertive to throw something out there.

When you are trying to decide between two options,

you might use the phrase I'm leaning towards something or one of the options leaning towards or decided for sure yet,

but this is the one that I'm starting to like or preferring.

For instance, you might be trying to figure out a color to paint a room in your house.

Maybe you are deciding between a gray or a brown and you say, "Well, I'm actually leaning towards the gray." This means you're thinking about going with the gray

and you probably will if you're leaning towards it, but you could still have your mind changed or you could still think about it a little bit more.

recently and we were all deciding what food we wanted to order

and I asked everyone what are you ordering and someone said I'm leaning towards this option

and they didn't say that they're thinking about another option

but they just weren't sure yet

so they were kind of thinking that's what they wanted to do

but they still hadn't decided so you can have this phrase

when you're deciding between many things or two options in particular

when i have an appointment or an activity or a meeting something like

that i always like to be very certain of what time it starts

because i am someone who if i don't look at it before i leave i could If I'm not mistaken, this is where I would use this.

- If I'm not mistaken.

- So someone says, "Hey, are you going to the meeting at 12 o 'clock?" And I might say, "If I'm not mistaken, it's at two o 'clock,

but I'll double check." This means I'll check again to be sure.

So in this case, I'm correcting them, but I'm not a hundred percent sure because, you know, now that they said 12 o 'clock, I'm doubting myself a little bit.

So I'm gonna double check.

If I'm not mistaken, it's at two.

Or if someone again asks me, "Hey, what time is the meeting?"

if i'm not certain 100 i could use this phrase

if i'm not mistaken it's at two o 'clock

so you can use this just for your own assurance

that you're going to double check it and you're going to make sure

that it's correct before the person totally trusts you

or you can use it as a really soft way to correct someone saying like oh

if i'm not mistaken that's not totally correct like let's double check this

so again this phrase very versatile you'll hear it all the time in your just like this one.

It's I'll speak for myself.

I'll speak for myself.

So this phrase is just used when you don't want everyone to think that your opinion represents a group of people.

Or a lot of times husbands and wives will use this phrase to answer a question, like to give an opinion and say, you know, this is just my opinion.

My wife or my husband might feel differently from me.

So I'll only speak for myself.

I don't want to speak for everyone is another

two phrases really kind of go hand in hand

and together someone will say i'll speak for myself i don't want to speak for everyone here

100

but you could use either of these phrases on their own a lot of times me

101

and my husband we differ on what kind of movies

102

that we like so

103

if someone says oh did you like do you guys like

104

the movie i'll say well i'll speak for myself i liked the movie

105

but my husband thought it was okay i hate to admit it but i really like this song

106

I hate to admit it, but you might hear this phrase.

107

I hate to admit it in a lot of different ways.

108

The first way is if we want to admit someone was right and we were wrong.

109

You know, it's kind of playful.

110

It's not such a serious phrase like I hate to admit it, but that restaurant was really good.

111

You're right.

112

Maybe you said like, I don't like that restaurant.

113

It's not going to be good.

114

I've heard bad things about it, but your friend says we have to go.

115

It's the best.

116

I've had it before.

117

You might say I hate to admit it, but you were right.

118

something embarrassing.

119

So again, maybe you like an embarrassing song, like it maybe you think like, it's more for kids or like, it's not a serious song,

120

but you say I hate to admit it, but I love this song.

121

Or something embarrassing might be like you're procrastinating on a project and you hate to admit it, but you're procrastinating, you're just saying it, but you're kind of ashamed of it.

122

So you're kind of using this phrase to soften what you're saying.

123

If you're embarrassed about something or you're kind of slightly annoyed that someone's correct and you were wrong.

124

In English, when we say we're going to wing something, it means we're going to do something without any preparation.

125

I'll wing something.

126

Some really specific ways that you would use this phrase is one, if you're doing a presentation without preparing at all, you might say, I just have to wing it.

127

I didn't have time to practice.

128

Or if you are cooking in the kitchen and you don't have a recipe, you might say, oh, I just winged it.

129

I just winged this recipe.

130

I didn't actually know what I was making.

131

And maybe people are saying, oh, it's

132

so good like what's your recipe like i don't know i

133

just i just winged it i just started adding things together

134

this means again no preparation you just used what you had

135

in the kitchen already some people like to plan out their trip

136

when they're traveling and some people like to be spontaneous

137

and just wing it this means again they don't think about

138

what they're going to do they just kind of wake up

139

go see things walk around see where the day takes them enjoy their trip without having a

140

scenario like a job interview or something that you have prepared for but maybe something unexpected

141

happens or they ask you an unexpected question

142

and you have to just wing it and answer it the best

143

that you can because even without preparation you can come up with something

144

so again winging it isn't always a bad thing it's just

145

a way to describe a scenario where you don't expect things

146

or you don't feel like planning things a really useful phrase at work and in exercise is to pace yourself myself.

147

A pace is the speed that you're going to and it's the speed that you're going to work at, and it's also the speed that you're going to finish something at.

148

So when we talk about a pace, when we're racing in a running race,

149

we're talking about the time that we're going to finish the race or the time that we're completing each kilometer or mile.

150

So if you say I'm going to run a half marathon at a two hour pace, this means that you're going to try to complete it at that pace.

151

Or you could say I'm trying to run a half marathon at a 10 minute per mile pace.

152

So you can use either of these measurements to describe pace.

153

Now, if you're at work, you might say, I'm going to pace myself today.

154

This means you're going to kind of try to work at the same speed all day

155

so that you don't burn out or run out of energy completely.

156

If you have a job where you work really long days, this is important not to just work so hard and then tire yourself out.

157

If you know you're going to eat a big meal at home or at a restaurant, you might say, I'm kind of pacing myself here, meaning you don't want to eat all the food at the beginning

158

and then not save enough room for the other courses or for dessert.

159

You're kind of trying to eat at a slow and steady pace.

160

It's really important in life to give it your all.

161

Give it your all.

162

This phrase means to completely try your best, to give all your efforts.

163

So in sports, this phrase obviously comes up a lot.

164

Maybe you're saying our team really needs to give it our all today, meaning you need to give your best effort.

165

Or if you want to work towards goal, you could say, I'm going to give it my all towards this goal.

166

I'm going to give it my all to study for this exam.

167

Even when someone fails, you can say, you did a good job, you gave it your all, even though you failed or you didn't complete your goal entirely.

168

It's just kind of an encouraging phrase in this situation.

169

To make the most of something.

170

- Make the most of it.

171

- So when you make the most of something, you try to enjoy something as much as possible.

172

And you can take this phrase in a bad situation, and let's say you're having bad weather, even though you had a vacation planned,

173

you might say, even though it was bad weather, we made the most of our situation, meaning you still tried to have fun or come up with an alternative plan.

174

Or you can use this phrase in a good situation as well.

175

For instance, if you are in a nice place as a vacation, for only a short amount of time, you're going to want to make the most of it.

176

So you're just going to want to enjoy it and do the most activities in that short amount of time.

177

Even though I live in the United States, my students overseas always think that I I live in New York or Los Angeles, just because that's what they're so familiar with.

178

But I don't.

179

And I've been to Los Angeles twice.

180

And I've only been to New York City once.

181

And I just made the most of it because I was only there for one day.

182

And I'll tell you, I made the most of it.

183

But I was absolutely exhausted after that day because I did so much walking, finding subway stations, seeing all the things.

184

It was great.

185

I made the most of it.

186

This just means I had the maximum amount of enjoyment for such a short time.

187

Maybe you're talking about a time in your life where you didn't have much money, but you're kind of looking back at that time and saying, you know, even though we didn't have much money, we made the most of it.

188

Meaning we still, you know, valued our family and had fun and tried to just enjoy our lives without much money.

189

One phrase that I heard recently that is really useful is to pile in.

190

And make yourself a pile in the process.

191

piling, piling.

192

So it just means everyone can get in quickly and like squish together.

193

Basically, if you have, you know, five friends sitting in a car, it's going to be like you piling and squish together.

194

If you've ever sat in a booth with a lot of people at a restaurant, you could say we all just piled into the booth, meaning like we squish together.

195

It's a really casual and fun phrase to use.

196

A lot of times children, you know, they pile into a school bus or they pile into a van or and watch a movie,

197

whatever it is, just means that a lot of people

198

or a decent amount of people are squished together in a short, small space.

199

Okay, you might have heard somebody in English describe someone as being green.

200

Going to have an employee green ambassador to promote sustainability efforts within the store.

201

We're not talking about aliens here.

202

This phrase means that someone is new at something.

203

So when you look back at when you first started I was doing like I didn't have any real skill.

204

You might say I was really green when I started.

205

This just means you were really new and unfamiliar.

206

Another phrase that I heard recently on a podcast, but I have said it, and I've noticed that my friends and family say it too,

207

is They were some random.

208

They were some random.

209

I'm not traumatized by some random comment from some random woman.

210

Oh, he was just some random.

211

Sounds really funny if English is not your first language.

212

This phrase, it's kind of shortened as they were some random person.

213

And here we just mean that they were a stranger

214

or they weren't a significant person in our life that we need to, you know, go into detail about.

215

For instance, maybe you see a movie and there's an actor that you've never seen before, and you don't think that they're very famous, or they haven't been in very movies,

216

very many movies, you might say, yeah, there was some random in the movie, but it was a pretty good movie, or there was some random, but they did really good acting.

217

Meaning you don't know who they are, again, but you're just kind of complimenting their acting in the movie here.

218

So maybe you are in a grocery store, and someone comes up to you that you've never met before, and has a conversation, and you walk away,

219

and then you find your husband or your wife later, the store and they say who are you talking to

220

and you say oh just some random

221

so again it's just short for some random person this is kind of a slang phrase

222

because it's really shortened and it's really casual

223

and informal this next phrase it's kind of funny

224

and you need to be careful of how you use it

225

because the phrase has kind of evolved over time so

226

if you're a big sports fan

227

and you're watching american sports you might hear the announcers or the commentators say that that

228

be an unkind thing to call someone a dog.

229

Maybe you were commenting on their looks or their bad behavior.

230

But in this scenario, I hear this phrase used now to comment on how hard working someone is

231

or how relentless they are in a sport.

232

For instance, you might hear an announcer say like, they are a dog on defense in basketball, meaning they work really hard, they're relentless, they're really good.

233

Or just kind of commenting on someone's work ethic, you might say they are absolute dog they never give up

234

so if you hear this in sports specifically you're commenting on someone's mental toughness their hard work

235

and their relentless play in the sport a lot of times

236

when you reflect on the past in english you can use this phrase looking back on it

237

looking back on it and now looking back on it sometimes we say looking back on it

238

and we can say also looking back at it they really have the same meaning here

239

and it's just dependent on your preference which one you use

240

so you might think about a stressful time in your life

241

and you can say looking back at it it didn't really matter

242

that much i should have been way more relaxed

243

so you're kind of reflecting on the amount of stress you had and wishing that you were less

244

back at it and you think wow

245

that was really a red flag like I should have known this person was not going to be nice

246

or was going to be hurtful to me

247

because they did this you know looking back at it

248

that was a huge red flag

249

so again this phrase is just really good for reflection thinking about things

250

that have happened in your past thinking about regrets

251

that you have as well a really common phrase you'll hear people use when they're talking about understanding the

252

power or how serious

253

or impactful something was is you say I felt the magnitude of something to deal with something of this magnitude

254

so to feel the magnitude of something is like to feel the size

255

or the impact that something has there's a lot of historical events

256

that you know you feel the magnitude of later on

257

or there's just small life events like becoming a parent or getting

258

steps that you're taking but later you're like wow I really feel the magnitude of how much that affected my life.

259

So you'll hear this phrase just to be like, this event was really

260

impacting my life a lot or you're reflecting again

261

and thinking about how powerful something was

262

and what a force it had on everyone

263

or just on your own life in general another really reflective

264

phrase is the glory days the glory days glory days thank you football

265

A lot of people refer to their high school experience as the glory days.

266

It's just a time where they're really carefree

267

or maybe they're a really successful athlete or things were just going well in their life.

268

And so they think of them as the glory days, things that times that were easy for them.

269

So a lot of people use this phrase when they talk about their career.

270

athletic career in college or in high school.

271

Sometimes we use this phrase to kind of joke about how we're getting older.

272

So for me, I think about the times in my life where I used to stay up really late watching TV and movies, or I would stay up and go to the bars with my friends.

273

And now I just could not stay up that late.

274

So I'm like, oh, those were the glory days when I would stay up and have fun.

275

So it's kind of a joking phrase as well.

276

If you want to tell someone that everyone is kind of spotlight of an event, or you're just saying, you know,

277

a lot of people are paying attention to what you're doing.

278

You can use this phrase, all eyes are on you.

279

All eyes are going to be on you.

280

I really felt like all eyes were on me when I was, you know, giving this presentation, meaning I feel like people were really paying attention and noting what I was doing.

281

So this phrase can be used if you're kind of self -conscious, like, oh, I feel like all eyes are on me right now.

282

Everyone's paying attention.

283

Or you can just give this phrase as a warning, you know, all eyes are going to be You're going to feel like you have a lot of attention.

284

So it's a really common phrase to say that everyone is paying attention to you or to someone else.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
