Thank you.

Okay.

Miranda, about last night, I have-- I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins.

Okay.

Okay, I'll go down to Barnes & Noble right now.

Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?

Not that I can recall.

We have all the published Harry Potter books.

Twins want to know what happens next.

- Okay.

You want the unpublished manuscript?

Well, we know everyone in publishing.

It shouldn't be a problem, should it?

And you can do anything, right?

Ooh, and it's got a big problem there.

How can someone get access to a book like Harry Potter before it's even released?

This is Xenia, your Real Life English Fluency Coach, and today we're learning English with Devil Wears Prada.

Listen to the word she uses here.

If you want the unpublished manuscript.

A manuscript in this case refers to an early version of a book that only the author and editors can access.

Because it hasn't been published yet.

So today's lesson is packed with advanced expressions like this.

We'll go through more than 30.

And to help you not only learn the most useful ones, but also remember them forever.

I want to give you as a gift access to the smart flashcards from this lesson for free.

You can practice with them in our app by clicking the link below.

Thousands of learners just like you are already doing this and actually getting more fluent every day while having fun.

But make sure to give it a try if you want to level up your English from intermediate to advanced.

Now let's get started by learning the other advanced words we saw in

that first part of the scene before we continue with the story.

For example, listen to this.

What is Andy talking about here?

I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins.

Okay.

Okay, I'll go down to Barnes & Noble right now.

Barnes & Noble is the largest and most famous bookstore chain in the United States.

It's kind of a cultural landmark where people go to browse books, drink coffee, and spend hours reading.

So Andy suggests going there to buy the latest published Harry Potter book for Miranda's twin daughters.

By the way, notice how Miranda calls them the twins.

this: "The twins need new shoes" or "I'm taking the twins to school".

Okay, now listen to Miranda's response.

"Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?" To smack means to hit something hard, making a sharp sound.

Like a person could get smacked across the face, or you could smack your hand on the table.

And by pavement, Miranda is referring to the walking path on the side of a road.

Americans call it sidewalk, Brits call it pavement.

You may also hear people say, "Did you heat your head?" "Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?" Not that I can recall.

Recall is another way of saying remember.

It just sounds a bit more formal.

Check out this example from The Lost City.

I don't know if you recall, but you only said translate it.

I translated it.

Memories get lost or fractured.

Most of them return, although it's unlikely you'll ever fully recall the events around your accident.

Okay, so as we learned, Miranda was actually referring to the manuscript of the last Harry Potter book.

She then explains why getting this manuscript shouldn't be a difficult task.

We know everyone in publishing, it shouldn't be a problem, should it?

When she says in publishing, she means in the publishing industry, the business of creating and selling books, magazines, newspapers.

For example, she works in finance.

She's an indication.

They work in healthcare.

I'm in marketing.

Alright, now let's watch the next part of the scene and learn other useful advanced expressions with it.

I could call freaking J .K.

Rowell or something.

I'm not gonna get a copy of that book.

My girls are leaving on the train for their grandmothers at four, so the book better be here.

No later than three. Of course.

And I would like my steak here in 15 minutes.

No problem James Hall's party at Miranda Priess's assistant.

Harry Potter manuscript?

No, you're kidding.

Sorry to ask, but I am desperate.

Just tell her it can't be done.

You'll have to come up with a plan B.

Well, this is Miranda Priessly we're talking about.

There is no plan B.

There's only plan A.

Take a look at what Andy said here.

I can call freaking JK Rowling.

I'm not going to get a copy of that book.

First, you should know that freaking, is a softer way of saying the F word.

It's used to add emphasis and sometimes to express frustration, like: "This freaking computer won't work !"

or "It's freaking freezing outside !" You may also see this spelled as "freaking" or "freaking".

And when Andy says she could call JK Rowling herself, the word "herself" here is also adding emphasis.

For example, "the president himself called me," which means like "the president," not someone else.

Or you could say, "I met Beyonce herself." So Andy thinks it's impossible to get a copy of the book.

A copy means one reproduction of the book.

Like publishers make thousands of copies of a book to sell.

- My book better be here, no later than three.

This is a strong construction Miranda used here to express a command or serious expectation.

For example, you could hear "You better be on time." This better work.

The report better be ready by Monday.

It's more forceful than "should be" because it suggests there will be consequences if the expectation isn't met.

See this other example from Limitless.

You better be prepared.

I better be going.

And no later than simply means before this exact time.

And by the way, are you like me and sometimes you just can't recall new expressions soon after learning them?

Yeah, I thought so.

100

That's why it's so important to review the words you are learning today.

101

I know this not only from my own experience learning English, but also because we've taught millions of English learners like you.

102

That's what led us to create the perfect solution.

103

A set of flashcards for this lesson with the Devil Wears Prada that is available for free.

104

on our app.

105

These will help you remember the new words from this lesson forever.

106

And the reason this works is that we put the science and the right technology behind it.

107

Basically, the app knows the exact expressions you've learned from all the lessons, and just when you're about to forget one, we bring it back to you to practice.

108

All you need is 10 -15 minutes daily for more natural English speaking.

109

Super easy.

110

the real -life app right now for free and start getting a bit more fluid every day.

111

So, Andy goes on the impossible quest to get this book and starts calling a bunch of people she knows in publishing.

112

Yes, yes, yes, I've been on hold.

113

Well, it's for Miranda Priestly, it's very important.

114

She's speaking quite fast and she's literally running, so it might be difficult to hear, but she just said she's being on hold.

115

When you're on hold on the phone, you're waiting for someone to answer while listening to music or silence.

116

Like in this example.

117

I have Paddy Fenn on hold.

118

What should I tell her?

119

She'll call back.

120

We also use it figuratively for plans or projects that are paused.

121

You're gone for weeks at a time.

122

So it's like I'm peering into other people's lives because my own is just temporarily on hold.

123

Yeah, I'm pulling with the Harry Potter manuscript.

124

Uh, no, unpublished.

125

Not a chance.

126

Oh, okay.

127

The phrase "not a chance" is a common way to say something is impossible.

128

In this case, it's a firm definitive rejection.

129

Like in this example from Molly's Game.

130

Not a chance.

131

I think we got a good chance.

132

No, not a chance.

133

I'm letting you make that argument.

134

Why not?

135

It's not true.

136

Tell her that it's for Miranda Priestly because I think it makes a difference.

137

Let me call you back.

138

Hi.

139

"Let me call you back" is a standard phone expression, meaning "I'll hang up now and call you again later".

140

Like, if you are in a meeting or driving and receive a phone call, you could say this to the other person.

141

And pretty much any native will pronounce this like "lemmy", not "let me", but "lemmy".

142

"Lemmy call you back".

143

You probably don't remember me, but we met at James Cates' party.

144

I'm our enterprise's assistant.

145

The Harry Potter manuscript?

146

Oh, you're kidding.

147

Uh, sorry to ask, but I am desperate.

148

Just tell her it can't be done.

149

You'll have to come up with a plan B.

150

What?

151

To come up with something, usually an idea, plan, or solution, means to think of it or create it.

152

It suggests creative thinking or problem solving.

153

I needed to go away, sever myself from reality, and come up with a new plan.

154

I've been sitting out there for the last half hour trying

155

to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed

156

Now let's watch the final part and see how this impossible situation turns out.

157

you Hello?

158

I'm brilliant.

159

No, really.

160

Monuments should be erected in my honor.

161

You didn't.

162

Oh, yes.

163

A friend of a friend does the cover art and she happens to have the manuscript.

164

Oh, no. Because that would mean that I actually did something right.

165

It's just, the thing is, Christian, I was just...

166

Look, you want this thing, you better hurry.

167

I'll meet you at the St. Regis.

168

You have one hour.

169

One copy.

170

What are my twins gonna do with that?

171

Share.

172

No, no, I made two copies.

173

And had them covered, reset, and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts.

174

This is an extra copy to have in file.

175

You know.

176

Just in case.

177

Well, where are these fabulous copies?

178

I don't see them anywhere.

179

There was a twins.

180

Now on the train on the way to Grandma's.

181

Is there anything else I can do for you?

182

Mm -mm.

183

That's all.

184

Okay.

185

Hello!

186

I'm brilliant.

187

No, really.

188

Monuments should be erected in my honor.

189

To erect something means to build it or make it stand up.

190

We use it especially for large structures: erect a building, erect a statue, erect a monument.

191

In casual speech, natives usually just say "build" or "put up".

192

Christian is joking here, but let's see what he's talking about.

193

"Oh yes, friend of a friend does the cover art

194

and she happens to have the manuscript." So it looks like they do know everyone in publishing after all, even if indirectly.

195

Christian is saying he has a friend who has another friend

196

and this person did the cover art of the Harry Potter book.

197

album or magazine.

198

Now, This person, who did the cover art of the book, happens to have the manuscript.

199

This is a common phrase meaning by chance, like it's a lucky coincidence.

200

Check out this other example.

201

Well, I happen to have a fiancé who's smart enough to leave everything to me.

202

Look, you want this thing?

203

You better hurry.

204

I'll make sure this ain't regis.

205

When you hurry, you're rushing to get something done fast because time is limited.

206

You can also use the phrasal verb hurry up often as a command.

207

Thank you.

208

Dad, there's another one!

209

Hurry up!

210

Hurry up and get dressed.

211

So Andy gets it done and now she's back in Miranda's office to deliver the impossible.

212

Let's look at this final exchange.

213

Oh no, I made two copies.

214

And had them covered, reset and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts.

215

And is saying she transformed the loose manuscript pages into books that look professionally published.

216

Covered means she added covers to them.

217

Reset means she reformatted the pages to look more professional.

218

Bound means she had the pages fastened or tied together.

219

You know, like in a binder.

220

Bound is actually the past form of the verb to bind.

221

This is an extra copy to have in the file.

222

Just in case.

223

When you have something on file, you keep it in storage or in records, in case it's needed.

224

That's what the common expression "just in case" means.

225

Just in case you need it.

226

So, for example, companies keep your resume on file, doctors keep medical records on file.

227

By the way, this is a good line for practicing connected speech.

228

You know, when natives reduce, cut, and link words together.

229

Listen to how she says it.

230

This is an extra copy to have on file.

231

You know, just in case. in three parts.

232

First, let's link the words "this" and "is".

233

this is.

234

Then an extra copy becomes

235

an extra copy this is an extra this is an extra copy

236

and finally to have on file sounds like to have on

237

file to have in file this is an extra copy to

238

have in file fun right all we did was link the words together

239

and it already sounds much faster and more fluid but it's not actually fast It's just connected speech.

240

Now let's try to repeat the whole line after Andy.

241

This is an extra copy to have in the file.

242

Well, where are these fabulous copies?

243

I don't see them anywhere.

244

Fabulous means wonderful or excellent, maybe with a touch of glamour or style, like we'll see in the example from Hunger Games.

245

However, Miranda uses it here with her typical sarcastic tone.

246

Fabulous food, fabulous wine, massages, spa treatments, I told them, nothing but the best for my two victors.

247

It all needs to be...

248

Fabulous!

249

Alright, now let's move on to the final and most important step of the lesson.

250

We're gonna take everything you've just learned, the new vocabulary and the advanced pronunciation, and put it all into practice.

251

You'll watch all the scenes again, this time without any subtitles and answer sound quiz questions.

252

Are you ready?

253

Let's do it!

254

Miranda, about last night, I have-- I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins.

255

Okay.

256

Okay, I'll go down to Barnes & Noble right now.

257

Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?

258

What is pavement and what's the word Americans use to refer to it?

259

Bye.

260

you - Bye.

261

Americans call this sidewalk.

262

British people call it pavement.

263

Bye.

264

Not that I can recall.

265

We have all the published Harry Potter books.

266

Twins want to know what happens next.

267

- Okay.

268

You want the unpublished manuscript?

269

Well, we know everyone in publishing.

270

It shouldn't be a problem, should it?

271

And you can do anything, right?

272

What does herself emphasize here?

273

Rowling is the only person who could help.

274

Even calling Rowling wouldn't help.

275

Andy knows JK Rowling personally.

276

My girls are leaving on the train for the grandmothers at 4 :00, so the book better be here.

277

No later than 3 :00. Of course.

278

And I would like my steak here in 15 minutes.

279

No problem Let me call you back.

280

What does Andy mean by this?

281

She's asking if she can call back later.

282

She's asking the other person to call her back, politely ending the conversation to continue later.

283

Oh You probably don't remember me,

284

but we met at James Holt's party at Miranda Priess' assistant.

285

The Harry Potter manuscript?

286

Oh, you're kidding.

287

Uh, sorry to ask, but I am desperate.

288

Just tell her it can't be done.

289

You'll have to come up with a plan B.

290

Well, this is Miranda Priessly we're talking about.

291

There is no plan B.

292

There's only plan A.

293

Hello?

294

I'm brilliant.

295

No, really.

296

The monument should be erected in my honor.

297

You didn't.

298

Oh yes, friend of a friend does the cover art and she happens to have the manuscript.

299

Christian's friend happens to have the manuscript.

300

What does this mean?

301

By coincidence, this person has the needed manuscript.

302

This person is happy to have all the manuscripts of the author.

303

This person will probably get the manuscript soon.

304

Oh no,

305

because that would mean that I actually did something right.

306

It's just...

307

the thing is Christian, I was just...

308

Look, you want this thing, you better hurry.

309

I'll make sure this ain't Regis.

310

You have one hour.

311

Okay.

312

Thank you.

313

One copy.

314

What are my twins going to do with that?

315

Share.

316

"Oh no, I made two copies and had them covered, reset and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts." Bound is the past form of what verb?

317

Oh Bound is the past form of bind.

318

It means to fasten or tie things together.

319

and had them covered, reset and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts.

320

This is an extra copy to have in file, you know.

321

Just in case.

322

Well, where are these fabulous copies?

323

I don't see them anywhere.

324

There was a Twins.

325

Now on the train on the way to Grandma's.

326

Is there anything else I can do for you?

327

Mm -mm.

328

That's all.

329

In today's lesson, we'll watch the scene where Randy turns to Nigel, the magazine's art director, for support.

338

She just wants someone to give her credit for how hard she's working.

339

But instead of sympathy, Nigel tells her that Miranda isn't picking on her.

340

She's just doing her job.

Советы по практике

Чтобы эффективно учить английский с YouTube, попробуйте метод shadowspeak. Смотрите видео с замедленной скоростью. Шадовинг позволяет вам не только слышать, но и воспроизводить услышанное. Обратите внимание на интонацию и произношение актёров, а затем попробуйте предавать эти же эмоции в своей речи. С каждой практикой ваше произношение будет становиться всё более естественным. Используйте паузы между фразами, чтобы повторять их в нужном темпе. Это поможет вам адаптироваться к скорости разговора в оригинальной записи. Не забудьте экспериментировать с фразами: произносите их вслух, записывайте и сравнивайте с оригиналом, чтобы уловить нюансы.

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.
