Com-f-ter-ble.

Com-f-er-t-able.

Com-f-er-ble.

Oh, hey guys!

I didn't see you spying on me there.

I always get hung up on the pronunciation of this word.

Do you know what that means?

I always get hung up on the pronunciation of that word.

Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable, comfortable.

Do you know how to pronounce the word comfortable?

If you don't know, smash that like button.

I'm going to tell you in this video.

But today we're talking about this phrasal verb, to get hung up on something, or to be hung up on something.

Did I remember to hit record?

Yes, I did.

I got hung up on that.

The thought came into my mind, Mark, did you hit the record button or not?

And I got hung up on it.

I got hung up on that. so

when you get hung up on something it you know it

means to to be overly fixated on something to the point where it makes you worried

or frustrated okay so like

when I was talking suddenly the thought came into my mind are you recording

and I had to check yeah I had to check yes

because we are recording so i got i got hung up on

that i in my mind i got overly fixated

that means too much focus it was it just i got overly fixated on it to the point where

you know if something makes you worried or frustrated or you can't you can't go on

that means you get hung up on it okay so look at this look at this sentence I

want to buy a comfortable comfortable recliner hmm okay when

when I was reading this sentence I got hung up on this word so I couldn't really keep going properly.

Right?

Normal, when, you know, if you don't get hung up on this word, then you would read it like this.

I want to buy a comfortable recliner.

See?

There, I didn't get hung up on that.

Do you have a recliner, guys?

The word recliner is a kind of chair.

It's a comfortable kind of chair.

You know, a lot of recliners have this little lever thing.

You can call that a lever.

You pull the lever and then you can, you recline.

And then maybe, maybe you have a foot rest thing that pops out.

Then you can recline.

Okay, so this chair is called a recliner because it reclines.

Okay, so the verb recline means to go back.

Maybe not completely flat, maybe not like, you know, maybe not like completely horizontal,

but you know, if you are, you know, if like right now I'm sitting here, I'm sitting, I'm not reclined,

I'm not in a reclined position.

But imagine if I'm just kind of like

and just kind of like this I'm now it's at the end of the day I finished my work

and just yeah I'm just kind of reclined I'm reclined okay

so reclined means you you maybe don't go all the way flat

but you go you can some weight partially flat so that's why this is called a recliner a recliner Okay,

so you could say, I hate flying economy class because the seats don't recline much.

Yeah, they don't recline much.

They do recline a bit.

They recline a bit, like, you know, you push that little button on your armrest and you can recline, I don't know, maybe 10 degrees or something like that, right?

So you can recline a bit.

That's why we say much.

the seats don't recline much they recline a bit right

so that's why you you hate flying economy class right that's why people book first class

because they can recline maybe all the way flat You know,

if you're taking a long haul flight, all the, you know, the mainstream airlines, is that the word I'm looking for?

Mainstream?

You know, all the big, all the you know the mainstream airlines is

that the word i'm looking for mainstream you know all the

big all the major airlines um they have in their business class

or first class they have seats that are they're you know called like they'll they recline to a fully flat position

So it will say something like fully reclining seats or lie down seats or like flat.

I don't know what word they use.

You can check on their websites.

But yeah, basically fully reclining means it would go all the way to a horizontal position.

Okay? So yeah.

Do you have enough money to buy a first class ticket?

Actually, a lot of...

Most airlines don't have first class.

Did you know that?

Like, if you are flying at the front of the plane, that's actually called business class in most airlines.

So most airlines only have economy, and maybe premium economy, and then maybe business.

They don't have real first class.

Like, real first class, like...

You know you see those videos on like Instagram of like Emirates first class.

You actually get a room.

You have a room all to yourself with I think a bathroom, a shower.

It's like a room on a plane, guys.

Those are like I think $20,000 or something.

That's crazy.

But that would be kind of fun to fly first class.

I've never flown first class on an airline.

But I have flown business class when I worked.

I used to work at the Calgary airport and I got cheap flights.

So I did fly business class a few times and it was great.

It was really great.

Fly all the way flat, like the fully reclining seats and stuff.

That was a good experience.

But yeah, now I can't afford.

like usually that's one of the perks of working for an airline

100

if you if you work for an airline guys i think all airlines do this

101

if you're an employee of the airline you get to fly

102

standby it means it's not a real ticket it's just it's a it's a kind of ticket where

103

you can fly if there are some empty seats.

104

Okay, so there were some times when I flew where business class was,

105

there were some empty seats in business class and I got to experience business class, even on some long-haul flights.

106

Like I think I flew, I flew business one time to China I flew business to Germany

107

and to can't remember

108

but a bunch of times a bunch of times I've flown business class it's great

109

so yeah but a normal ticket if you because

110

if you're an employee you get to fly those standby tickets for like 20 bucks

111

or 30 or 50 or I don't know I can't

112

that was a long time ago for For me to fly standby at that time was like $40 or $50 I think.

113

But a normal ticket is thousands and thousands of dollars to fly business class.

114

Maybe you can afford it.

115

So anyway, it's much more comfortable to fly business or first class, right?

116

So there are two ways people pronounce this word.

117

people say comfortable okay comfortable some people say comfortable

118

i think the second one is more common among north americans comfortable comfortable comfortable like in in in the uk

119

in British English, they say comfortable.

120

Comfortable.

121

I think they always say this one.

122

Are you comfortable?

123

Are you comfortable?

124

Okay.

125

Comfortable.

126

We say, I don't know, maybe kids in North America might tend to say this.

127

Comfortable.

128

Comfortable.

129

But I think most adults say comfortable.

130

Comfortable.

131

Comfortable.

132

Do you, which one do you like?

133

Which one do you say?

134

It's your choice.

135

It's not a big, really not a big difference.

136

Comfortable.

137

I want to buy a comfortable sofa.

138

I want to buy a comfortable couch.

139

Comfortable.

140

I don't know.

141

Both are fine.

142

Okay, so let's talk a bit more about this phrasal verb hung up on.

143

We use these verbs be or get.

144

Okay, so you could say i'm hung up on her okay

145

if you're focused on a on someone i'm hung up on him

146

or her it could be a good thing you know you

147

maybe you're in love you're totally hung up on her okay

148

so you can be or get i got totally hung up on that relationship

149

you know when I was in my relationship I got totally hung up on it

150

and I I forgot about my life I forgot about everything else I got hung up on okay

151

so you can be or get hung up on something okay

152

so it basically means to fixate on it to in your mind right

153

so to fixate means you focus you're you're totally like focused on it.

154

You could fixate, like visually, if you fixate on something, okay, like maybe there's a,

155

maybe there's something floating around in your room, maybe there's a ghost, and you're like fixated on it, okay, that means your eyes are focused on it, right?

156

But usually we use this to mean mentally, mentally focused on something.

157

So look at this, right now I'm fixated on passing my exams.

158

Okay?

159

So if you're studying for your exams, you could say, right now I'm totally fixated on my exams.

160

I just want to pass my exams and then I'll do other things, relax, have fun, you know, have a social life again.

161

Okay?

162

Look at this example.

163

He's too fixated on making her happy.

164

Okay?

165

He's too fixated on making her happy.

166

Maybe you have a friend and your friend is so focused on making his girlfriend happy.

167

You could say, he's way too fixated on making her happy.

168

He should just relax and live his life and not be so fixated on that.

169

Okay.

170

Look at this.

171

He's still hung up on his ex-wife.

172

Okay.

173

He's still hung up on his ex-wife.

174

So let's say your friend got divorced, and it's been a few years.

175

It's been a few years.

176

The divorce happened.

177

It's all settled.

178

It's all settled.

179

Everything's finalized.

180

But your friend is still hung up on that.

181

Maybe she treated him really badly.

182

Okay.

183

And he just, he's so,

184

he's still hung up on how badly she treated him or how much he suffered in the marriage.

185

Okay.

186

So he might still, okay, he is, this is the verb be, is, is a form of the verb be.

187

Did you know that?

188

So he is still hung up on his ex-wife.

189

He's still hung up on her.

190

That means he's just mentally, he can't move forward.

191

So that's kind of what hung up means.

192

It means you can't move forward properly.

193

Like you can kind of move forward, but not easily or not properly.

194

Like, if I read this sentence again, okay, I want to buy a comfortable recliner.

195

Okay, if I read it like that, I got hung up on this word.

196

I still did move forward.

197

I said this word, but I couldn't move forward properly or easily because I got hung up on this, right?

198

I want to buy a comfortable recliner.

199

Okay?

200

So that's what it means when you get hung up on something.

201

Look at this example.

202

I'm a perfectionist.

203

I get hung up on the smallest details.

204

Okay?

205

Are you a perfectionist?

206

Then you want to do everything right.

207

Okay, and you're so worried about every little thing that you want to do a good job in everything.

208

So you could say, I always get hung up on the smallest details.

209

Yeah.

210

Look at this example.

211

We didn't finish the project today because we got hung up by a technical issue.

212

Okay, we got hung up by a technical issue.

213

Now notice this.

214

Here it's hang up by, by, not on, because we're talking about something that stopped.

215

Here we're talking literally something delayed you something prevented you from finishing

216

the the project right we got hung up by a technical issue does that make sense so um

217

yeah we'll take another look at an example with by

218

but look at this one why are you so hung up on matching your shoes to your dress?

219

Okay, maybe you have a wife, and your wife is always worried about,

220

she always tries to find the right shoes to match her outfit every day.

221

Which shoes should I wear today?

222

She always gets hung up on that.

223

So you could say, why are you so hung up on matching your shoes to your dress.

224

Okay, so here's another one with, oh no, here, yeah, so I got hung up by, okay, so here's another word with by.

225

I got hung up by an accident on the highway.

226

Okay, so imagine if you're driving to work, okay, and suddenly there's an accident and you get delayed.

227

Okay, so that means you got hung up by an accident.

228

So eventually when you get to work and your boss asks you, why?

229

Why are you late?

230

You can say, sorry boss, I got hung up by an accident on the highway.

231

I got hung up by.

232

Okay, so this doesn't mean you're meant, it doesn't mean mentally hung up, it means physically hung up.

233

You were physically prevented from going forward.

234

Okay?

235

So, look at this.

236

I got hung up by an accident on the highway.

237

But now look at this example.

238

I'm still hung up on the terrible accident I witnessed last month.

239

I'm still hung up on the terrible accident I witnessed last month.

240

So here, we're talking about your mental state.

241

We're talking about this.

242

It was a terrible accident, right?

243

You were driving to work last month and you saw a really bad accident.

244

and it's like now that memory is ingrained in your mind, okay?

245

And you're just, you're still hung up about that.

246

You're hung up, I'm still hung up on the terrible...

247

You could probably also say I'm still hung up about, still hung up about the terrible accident.

248

You know, sometimes these, sometimes these little words are flexible in English.

249

I don't know, usually the word is on.

250

When you're hung up on something mentally, it's usually on.

251

So yeah, I'm still hung up on the terrible accident I witnessed last month.

252

Does that make sense?

253

The difference between by and on, if it's by, we're talking something physically that stops you from doing something.

254

but if it's hung up on

255

that means your brain is like kind of kind of consumed with

256

that thing it's like like fixated on that I don't know does

257

that make sense yeah

258

so I just wanted to give you some example sometimes it's

259

helpful to look at a bunch of examples to learn how to use a word

260

or a phrasal verb in this case

261

so let's do some homework what do you get hung up

262

on let me know you know this is the reason I wanted to teach you this word is

263

because it's such a useful word for everyday situations right we

264

all get hung up on stuff you get hung up on you can get hung up on a thing

265

or a person you be hung up on on your ex-wife

266

you'd be hung up on that guy your boss that that

267

that that criticized you for no reason right

268

or some some issue you can get hung up on it

269

270

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.
