1
In England, we don't say 50 pounds.
2
We call this 50 quid.
3
Money appears all the time in daily conversation.
4
For example, Hey man, have you got a tenner on you?
5
Sorry lad, I've only got a fiver.
6
If you don't understand that, then you are missing a very big chunk of British life.
7
In this video, I'll teach you what nobody teaches you about money.
8
This is a one pound coin, but what do British people call it?
9
We call it a quid.
10
One quid equals one pound.
11
But what if there are two?
12
We don't say quids, there is no s, so it's just one quid, two quid, three quid, four quid.
13
But what about five quid?
14
Five quid is a fiver.
15
This is a five pound note.
16
What can you buy with a fiver in England?
17
A meal deal, a tuna sandwich, a can of coke and a bag of crisps.
18
Meal deals are a huge cultural phenomenon in England.
19
They are very popular.
20
Every day, millions of people walk into a Tesco and pick up a sad little sandwich, a bag of crisps, and a drink.
21
And they feel genuinely good about it.
22
I was one of those people.
23
I regret nothing.
24
This is a tenner.
25
a ten-pound note.
26
And at the beginning of this video I gave the example, hey man have you got a tenner on you?
27
Sorry lad, I've only got a fiver.
28
Now do you know what it means?
29
So if we call five pounds a fiver and ten pounds a tenner, what do call 20 quid?
30
A 20-er?
31
Nope, we just call it 20 quid.
32
The most common term for a thousand pounds is a grand and you might hear it in a conversation like, hey Rock, how much is your rent in London?
33
It's a rip-off.
34
It's a grand and a half for a tiny flat.
35
How about yours?
36
Bloody hell.
37
Yeah, mine's a rip-off too.
38
I pay two and a half grand.
39
Note that there is no S on grand, just like quid.
40
One grand and two grand.
41
The smallest currency in Britain is called pence, but we call it P.
42
So we say 10p, 20p or 50p.
43
Lots of coins together we call change, loose change.
44
Now, Mario, do you have any change, mate?
45
Sorry, mere friend, I don't.
46
Fair enough.
47
Do you fancy a pint, then?
48
Mate, I'm skint.
49
You might know the word broke, which is the standard universal term for having little money.
50
But in Britain, we like to do things differently.
51
We say skint.
52
I'm skint.
53
It means I've got very little money.
54
Skint is a top slang word in the UK.
55
Alright mate, you look a bit rough.
56
I'm skint mate, can't afford a beard trim.
57
Fair enough.
58
If you started saying skint, I guarantee you natives would be very impressed with your English.
59
but what is the opposite of skint?
60
So if skint means having little money then loaded is the opposite.
61
I am loaded, it means I've got a lot of money.
62
Recently I read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad on my Kindle and the author Robert Kiyosaki wrote that a lot of people say, I can't afford this.
63
And he urges us to flip that to a question and say, how can I afford this?
64
The question opens up the mind to possibility.
65
Now, I had the idea, how can you guys apply this to your English?
66
A lot of my students say, I'm not good at English.
67
So I would encourage you to flip that to a question and ask yourself, how can I improve my English?
68
How can I get better at English?
69
I'm sure your brain will find the answer.
70
Now, it's about time to go for, I think, a lovely coffee at the cafe.
71
But before I do, let's have a quick scan of our environment.
72
I am sitting on a boulder.
73
A boulder is a very large rock.
74
And the boulder is sitting in the ocean.
75
Now, let's get up and go to the cafe.
76
This coffee is like two quid.
77
That's pretty cheap.
78
By the way, be careful with the word cheap.
79
It can just mean low price, but it can also mean low quality.
80
So here are some more natural ways British people like to talk about price.
81
Come on, thank you.
82
The coffee has arrived and the price of these coffees was reasonable.
83
It was quite affordable.
84
In fact, these coffees were a bargain.
85
A bargain is my favourite way to say something that is cheap in a positive way.
86
That's a bargain.
87
And for some context for you guys, we are on an island and again no s.
88
We don't say island or island, we say island.
89
It's a silent s.
90
This is my stick.
91
They gave me this to scare the monkeys away.
92
It's very common for monkeys to be coming through this cafe and stealing your food.
93
Some extra verbs for steal we would say pinch or nab.
94
They are slang words in British for steal.
95
Where are you in the world right now?
96
Let me know in the comments.
97
I am curious.
98
So if a bargain is a positive way of saying something is cheap then the opposite of that is a rip-off.
99
A bloody rip-off.
100
Now a rip-off is when something is expensive and you're a little bit annoyed about it as well.
101
It's a rip-off.
102
Now some alternatives to rip-off are pricey or steep.
103
That's a bit steep.
104
Now, I don't want the monkeys to steal my food, so let's dig in.
105
Let's start eating.
106
After eating, you can ask, excuse me, can I have the bill please?
107
After that, you might want to split the bill with your friends.
108
Now, I've seen a lot of English teachers teaching let's go Dutch, the English idiom.
109
But honestly no one says that.
110
No one says let's go Dutch.
111
So here are some more natural phrases that English speakers use.
112
Shall we go halves?
113
Nah, I'll get this one.
114
No, no, no, let's split it.
115
Peach, honestly, don't be silly.
116
It's my treat.
117
It's on me.
118
Oh Jay, you're such a gentleman.
119
Right, now let's play a little game.
120
I'm gonna flip this coin.
121
You can choose heads or tails.
122
Heads, I win.
123
Tails, you lose.
124
Heads, I win.
125
If you want to win and succeed at English, on SproutLanguage.com, you can now do real-life roleplay conversations with J.I.
126
You can practice in a restaurant, in a cafe, in a hotel, and many more.
127
Try it now for seven days free and invest in your greatest asset, which is...
128
your mind.
129
Thank you for watching.
130
Hope you have a beautiful day.
131

Почему стоит практиковать разговор с помощью этого видео?

Практика разговорного английского — это ключевой аспект в изучении языка и интеграции в британскую культуру. В приведённом видео обсуждаются популярные английские термины, относящиеся к деньгам, такие как “quid”, “fiver” и “tenner”. Эти слова часто звучат в повседневных беседах, поэтому знание их поможет вам лучше понять разговоры с носителями языка. Обучаясь таким образом, вы не только учите новые слова, но и учитесь их применять в соответствующем контексте, что способствует улучшению произношения английского и глубинному пониманию языка.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В видео присутствуют несколько ключевых языковых структур и выражений:

  • Формы обращения: Обратите внимание на разговорные формы “hey man”, “sorry lad” — это поможет вам звучать более естественно в неформальных беседах.
  • Фразовые глаголы: Использование слова “pick up” в контексте покупки чего-либо (например, “pick up a sandwich”) отлично демонстрирует, как можно использовать фразовые глаголы в повседневном языке.
  • Сравнительные конструкции: Вопросы вроде “How much is your rent in London?” помогают практиковать структуру вопросов и формулирование ответов, что является важной частью разговорного английского.
  • Сокращения: Знание таких сокращений, как “a grand” вместо “a thousand pounds”, сделает вашу речь более естественной и живой.

Распространенные затруднения произношения

Некоторые слова и фразовые конструкции в видео могут быть сложными для произношения, особенно для тех, кто только начинает учить английский. Например:

  • Quid: Многие ученики могут путать произношение “quid” с другими словами. Упражнения на улучшение произношения английского помогут преодолеть этот барьер.
  • Fiver: Обратите внимание на произношение “fiver” и “tenner”, чтобы избежать ошибок и преувеличенных акцентов.
  • Изучение акцентов: Британское произношение может отличаться, поэтому полезно слушать такие видео на shadowing site и повторять за спикером для лучшего закрепления материала.

Используя методы shadow speech, вы сможете эффективно учить английский с YouTube, обращая внимание на мелкие детали произношения и интонации. Практикуйте эти фразы в разнообразных контекстах, чтобы улучшить свою уверенность и беглость речи.

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.
