Here.
2
It's a tough call.
3
They're so different.
4
Mmm.
5
Something funny?
6
No. No, no, nothing's...
7
You know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me.
8
You know, I'm still learning about this stuff and, uh...
9
This stuff?
10
Choosing just one scene from our favorite movies to turn into lessons like this one is a tough call.
11
That means it's a very hard decision to make,
12
just like the bells they're trying to decide on.
13
And if you're new here,
14
you should know this is exactly what we help you do.
15
Have fun learning with your favorite movies and tv series
16
so you can finally understand fast speaking natives without getting lost without missing the jokes
17
and without subtitles so subscribe and hit the bell down below
18
and you won't miss the new lessons we create every week
19
now let's step into the world of high fashion with the amazing meryl streep and anne hathaway in this powerful scene
20
Oh, okay.
21
I see.
22
You think this has nothing to do with you.
23
You go to your closet and you select,
24
I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater,
25
for instance, because you're trying to tell the world
26
that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back.
27
But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue.
28
It's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.
29
And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002,
30
Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns.
31
And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent,
32
wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets?
33
I think we need a jacket here.
34
Really impressive speech by Meryl Streep here, right?
35
Anyway, you want to stick around to see the second part of this theme.
36
We'll see it later in today's lesson.
37
For now, though, there is a lot of advanced English we can learn in this first part,
38
so let's get into it.
39
I should also tell you that we are saving all the advanced words and expressions you learned today on the RealLife app,
40
so you can practice them over there.

43
It's a tough call.
44
They're so different.
45
As I said before, a tough call is a difficult decision.
46
Just like with the word decision,
47
we use the verb make with the expression tough call.
48
To make a tough call.
49
Check out this example of how to use this expression with the TV show The Office.
50
think is hotter.
51
Pam or Karen?
52
Yeah, I'm not gonna talk about this now.
53
Pam is taller.
54
You sure?
55
I think Karen has a prettier face.
56
Really tough call.
57
Yeah.
58
Now, I don't know if you noticed,
59
but why does Miranda Priestly,
60
Meryl Streep's character, have this reaction when she hears the word stuff?
61
Let's see it again.
62
No, no, no, nothing's, you know,
63
it's just
64
that both those belts look exactly the same to me you know i'm still learning about this stuff
65
and uh this stuff
66
what is stuff what do we usually call stuff stuff is a vague word we use
67
when we don't want to be specific it can be anything
68
but when andrea casually calls high fashion stuff this makes Miranda reacts strongly.
69
You see, fashion for Miranda isn't just stuff.
70
It's an industry, art and a billion dollar business.
71
By using such a generic word,
72
Andrea unintentionally dismisses something Miranda deeply values.
73
And by the way, the verb to dismiss is a nice one to learn.
74
It means to treat something as unimportant,
75
to ignore it, or not pay enough attention as Andy did by not caring
76
so much about the difference between the two belts.
77
Okay, I see.
78
You think this has nothing to do with you.
79
When something has nothing to do with you,
80
it means it is not connected to you in any way.
81
So, Miranda is saying to Andy that even though she believes fashion doesn't affect her,
82
in reality, the clothes she wears are influenced by the high fashion industry.
83
Let's see how she explains that.
84
Pay attention to the advanced vocabulary she uses.
85
You go to your closet and you select,
86
I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance
87
because you're trying to tell the world
88
that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back but...
89
So here Miranda describes Andy's sweater as lumpy.
90
Based on how it looks,
91
can you guess what lumpy means?
92
Badly shaped, of bad taste, funny looking.
93
Lumpy can describe anything that is uneven or not smooth.
94
It may also refer to some shapeless, baggy clothes.
95
And a couch can also be lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on.
96
What you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue,
97
it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.
98
Now, these are three shades of blue.
99
You don't have to memorize these words,
100
but you may hear them in some context,
101
so it's important you at least know they refer to types of blue.
102
Hey, just a quick question.
103
What do you do to remember all the new words and expressions you are learning?
104
Like in this lesson, we've already covered phrases like have nothing to do with,
105
a tough call, the word lonely,
106
and we'll go through many more in the rest of the lesson.
107
Will you be able to remember and use them when you need them?
108
I'm saying this because
109
I know it's quite frustrating when you get into conversation in English
110
and right when you need to use a certain expression you've learned before,
111
it doesn't come to you.
112
I've been there myself.
113
Your brain simply goes blank and that totally ruins the flow of your conversation, right?
114
That is exactly why we created the RealLife English app to help you become a confident
115
and natural English speaker by practicing with these lessons the way they were meant to be.
116
On the app, every lesson like this one with movies,
117
TV series and podcasts, it comes with a full transcript and flashcards of the most advanced expressions.
118
By practicing just 10 minutes a day,
119
you'll be able to remember the new words and expressions you are learning forever.
120
This happens because of the spaced repetition technology we developed,
121
which lets you review words just when you are about to forget them.
122
Can you imagine being able to use all this vocabulary when you speak?
123
what you can get with a real life English app
124
and you can unlock this lesson with the Devil Wears Prada for free
125
which comes with all the resources I mentioned by clicking the link in the description below.
126
You can also look for real life English in the App Store
127
or Google Play but the link below will take you straight to this lesson
128
which is free if it's your first one and I'll see you there.
129
Okay now we know different shades of blue.
130
We know that Lumpy is uneven and badly shaped.
131
But what is to be blithely unaware?
132
Let's hear it again.
133
You're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002,
134
Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns.
135
When you are blithely unaware,
136
it's as if you choose to be unaware.
137
You don't follow the trends,
138
like in this case, or you just don't bother to learn more about the situation.
139
And again, Miranda says Andy has no idea how much history and influence are behind the fashion choices around her.
140
For example, those cerulean gowns from the designer collection that later influenced the mass market.
141
By the way, this is a gown,
142
a long elegant dress usually worn for formal occasions like weddings or red carpet events.
143
Now are you ready for the second part of the scene?
144
Let's watch it.
145
And then Cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers.
146
And then it filtered down through the department stores
147
and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin.
148
However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs.
149
And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
150
that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact,
151
you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.
152
And then Cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers.
153
And then it filtered down through the department stores and then...
154
Miranda explains how fashion trends start at the top and gradually influence mainstream clothing.
155
We first see how cerulean spread within high fashion,
156
it showed up or it appeared in eight different collections.
157
And then mass market brands and department stores start selling similar colors and styles.
158
You know, those large stores that sell different types of products like clothes,
159
furniture and electronics all in one place.
160
And then Cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers.
161
And then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic...
162
Miranda uses the phrasal verb filter down to show this gradual spread from a higher to a lower level,
163
from designers to department stores.
164
And then it trickles down to even smaller retailers,
165
like Casual Corner, a US chain retailer located in shopping malls and so accessible to average consumers like candy.
166
So, both phrasal verbs, filter down and trickle down,
167
are about movement, this slow spreading from the top levels to lower levels,
168
like when you are making coffee.
169
Let's check a few examples.
170
If we plant a virus into that mother ship,
171
it's going to then filter down into all the corresponding ships below.
172
According to
173
Miranda, Andrea likely grabbed something randomly from the clearance bin.
174
She uses the phrase fish out to emphasize that Andy pulled the sweater from a messy pile,
175
contrasting it with the careful and deliberate selection that happens in high fashion.
176
This is a clearance rack.
177
A clearance bin or a clearance rack is a section in a store where discounted or out-of-season clothes are placed for sale.
178
Casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin.
179
However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs.
180
And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
181
that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact… Miranda shows Andy that fashion isn't just about clothes.
182
It's an industry that creates countless jobs.
183
When something is so large that you can't count,
184
we use the word countless.
185
And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
186
that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact you're wearing a sweater
187
that was selected for you by the people in this room
188
if you are exempt from something you don't have to do it
189
or aren't affected by it because of a special condition status
190
or reason
191
so to exempt means to free a person from some obligation to do something like to pay taxes
192
or take a test and the things she's outside of fashion She's not affected by it.
193
But she isn't.
194
As Miranda illustrated, even her simple sweater is the result of a fashion trend.
195
Bart, you and the other perfect scoring superstars are exempt from taking the actual test today.
196
No test?
197
Don't be too disappointed.
198
We are throwing you a pizza party at a bowling alley.
199
And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
200
that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact
201
you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room.
202
That's an amazing job you've done today.
203
Now the test part.
204
Let's watch the scene without subtitles and see how much you understand
205
and there are some questions to the words and expressions from today's lesson.
206
Let's do this!
207
It's a tough call.
208
They're so different.
209
Mmm.
210
Something funny?
211
No. No, no, nothing's...
212
You know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me.
213
You know, I'm still learning about this stuff and, uh...
214
This stuff?
215
Oh, okay.
216
I see.
217
You think this has nothing to do with you.
218
You go to your closet.
219
What does the phrase it has nothing to do with you mean?
220
It is not related to you?
221
You know nothing about it?
222
You can't work here.
223
You go to your closet and you select,
224
I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance
225
because you're trying to tell the world
226
that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back
227
but what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not...
228
When your sweater is lumpy,
229
it is dirty and untidy,
230
shapeless and not smooth, weird and fun looking.
231
You're all so blithely unaware of the fact
232
that in 2002 Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent,
233
wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets?
234
I think we need a jacket here.
235
And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers.
236
I'm going to filter down through the department stores
237
and then trickle on down into some tragic casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some...
238
What does it mean when products trickle down to stores?
239
People are tricked into buying more stuff,
240
products are being delivered to the stores,
241
products gradually enter smaller stores.
242
Casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin.
243
However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs.
244
And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
245
that exempts you from the fashion industry when in fact you're wearing a sweater
246
that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.
247
What is the word to use if you are free from paying taxes?
248
You are exerted, exempted, accepted.
249
That's it for today.
250
Now remember to go and practice what you learned today on the Real Life English app.
251
You'll find a special link right in the description below.
252
That'll take you straight to this lesson over there.
253
And here's another great lesson for you to watch next if you are staying on YouTube.
254
Amelia, does your bad posture affect your hearing?
255
Well, carriage, obviously.
256
Hairstyle.
257
Complexion.
258
Stop.
259
Eyes, lovely.
260
But hidden beneath Bushman eyebrows.
261
I suppose.
262
The neck is seemly, and you will wear stockings.
263
Not tights, not socks.
264
And I never want to see those shoes again.
Почему стоит практиковать разговор через это видео?
Учитывая, что обучение английскому через фильмы и сериалы становится все более популярным, учить английский с YouTube — это отличный способ сделать процесс обучения увлекательным и интерактивным. В данном видео с Мерил Стрип и Энн Хэтэуэй показана важная сцена, в которой используются мышцы языка и интонация, характерные для разговорного английского. Практика разговорного английского через такие сцены позволяет не только улучшить словарный запас, но и научиться понимать нюансы языка, которые часто упускаются в учебниках.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В этом видео звучит несколько ключевых выражений, которые помогут вам лучше понять американский английский:
- tough call — сложный выбор. Это выражение подчеркивает трудность принятия решения и может быть применено в различных ситуациях.
- to dismiss — игнорировать или не придавать значения. Это очень полезное слово, которое позволяет выразить отношение к чему-либо с точки зрения неважности.
- has nothing to do with you — не имеет к тебе никакого отношения. Это выражение актуально, когда мы хотим указать на отсутствие связи между вещами.
Используйте эти выражения в собственных разговорах, и они помогут вам улучшить произношение английского и уверенность при общении.
Распространенные ловушки произношения
В видео есть слова и фразы, которые могут представлять сложность для учащихся. Например, слово stuff зачастую употребляется в разговорной речи, но создает трудности при произношении и понимании. Оно звучит просто, но его использование в контексте может быть неочевидным, так как это абстрактное слово, которое может означать многообразие предметов. Также обратите внимание на акцент и интонацию Мерил Стрип, когда она выделяет ключевые моменты. Попробуйте делать shadowing английский, повторяя за ней, чтобы улучшить свою речь и восприятие на слух. Это отличная практика для отработки произношения и интонации.
И наконец, не забудьте о shadowing site, где вы можете найти дополнительные материалы для практики, чтобы закрепить полученные знания и навыки.
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.
