Hey guys, welcome to Lingo Marina.
2
Today we're gonna work on improving your speaking skills.
3
To do this, I've created several examples of small talk and your task is to watch,
4
listen, and repeat phrases.
5
This is one of the best ways to improve your accent and also learn new phrases.
6
And by the way, small talk is something very essential that happens in the English speaking culture.
7
We start most of our conversations with small talk,
8
Talking about the weather, talking about recent events,
9
discussing news, and learning how to engage in small talk can be essential
10
if you're planning to do business or live in an English-speaking country.
11
Let's start with small talk number one,
12
and let's talk about the weather.
13
Ooh, it looks like there is a storm brewing.
14
This is an idiomatic expression,
15
which means there is going to be a storm.
16
A storm is brewing.
17
I'm afraid so.
18
The sky is overcast.
19
The sky is completely covered with clouds and there is not much light.
20
Gosh, I am so tired of this.
21
We've been having rainy weather for more than a week now.
22
Actually, I like when it's drizzling.
23
Drizzling means raining lightly or that time right after it's stopped raining.
24
The air is so fresh, the streets are empty.
25
Perfect.
26
Ah, no. I can't relate.
27
I hate it when it's freezing or even chilly.
28
Chilly means uncomfortably cool or cold.
29
Fair enough.
30
So you prefer hot weather to cold?
31
We say fair enough when we agree to something that's acceptable.
32
It's okay to not like cold weather.
33
Fair enough?
34
Absolutely.
35
Then you should definitely move south, away from the city.
36
I'd love to, and maybe I will end up living by the beach someday,
37
but not today unfortunately.
38
Well, spring is coming so you won't have to endure bad weather for much longer.
39
Endure means to suffer from something patiently.
40
Fingers crossed.
41
Means I'm hoping that it's gonna be warm soon.
42
Hey Mia, long time no see.
43
I love this expression.
44
Long time no see means I haven't seen you for a while.
45
Hi, how have you been?
46
Amazing, I've just come back from my vacation.
47
Really, where'd you go?
48
I've always wanted to go to Florida,
49
so we booked our flights and went for three weeks.
50
That is so cool.
51
I need more details.
52
Did you like it?
53
Yeah, we had enough time to go to the ocean.
54
I had some photo shoots from my Instagram, loved it.
55
The vibe.
56
I love saying Florida vibes, New York vibes.
57
The vibe means the atmosphere that you can feel when you're coming to this place.
58
The food, people, everything was amazing.
59
Florida is definitely a must-see state.
60
A must-see means everybody has to visit.
61
You know what?
62
I've never thought about going there,
63
but maybe I should give it a try.
64
You should definitely consider visiting it.
65
I'm already counting down the days,
66
waiting, till our next trip to Florida in October.
67
Okay, enough about me.
68
How's everything?
69
Do you have any vacation plans?
70
Now the next conversation is going to be a bit more informal.
71
You're going to encounter a bit more slang and cool words that a lot of teenagers use,
72
a lot of people on TikTok use.
73
So it's really important to know them these days.
74
Damn girl, you went to Coachella this year?
75
Damn girl's like, wow.
76
Coachella is this big music festival in Palm Springs
77
that a lot of people go to and dress up and enjoy the music.
78
Oh yeah, you went too, right?
79
No, I couldn't make it, unfortunately.
80
How was it?
81
Amazing, so fun.
82
Was it your first time there?
83
No, it was my third time.
84
I love music, what can I say?
85
You use the phrase, what can I say,
86
when there is nothing to add.
87
You know, I love music and this is all you need to justify going to Coachella every single year.
88
Me too, concerts are my favorite.
89
Which performance did you like the best?
90
Now I use which to ask this question because we're talking about Coachella
91
and we have a set of performances that took place there and I'm asking which of those performances you like the best.
92
Hard to say.
93
I guess Harry Styles.
94
I've never paid attention to him but this concert hit differently.
95
So you experience something that conveys a different emotion than before.
96
It was a vibe.
97
Means there was energy that everyone was feeling.
98
If you like the event,
99
you can say it was a vibe.
100
I heard it was an absolute blast.
101
To be a blast means to be a very enjoyable experience.
102
This party was a blast.
103
Coachella was a blast.
104
Beyond doubt.
105
Another great expression to know.
106
Have you ever been to any music festivals?
107
The next one is going to be about baseball.
108
The thing is, the thing is everyone loves to chat about baseball I'm not a baseball fan
109
but it just makes sense to learn a little bit about baseball
110
because everybody's gonna be asking you are you watching the game tonight are you going to see
111
that game
112
so people ask me all the time I really need to develop a habit of following baseball events
113
but I'm not there yet but let's learn some vocabulary and some phrases related to baseball.
114
Nice jersey.
115
Jersey is something you wear as a baseball player
116
but apparently fans are also buying jerseys with their favorite team's logos so they can show what team they're supporting.
117
Okay guys because I'm not a baseball fan I don't have a jersey,
118
any jerseys, so I'm just gonna show you what it looks like
119
And imagine I'm wearing it for the purpose of this dialogue.
120
Oh, thanks.
121
Are you into baseball as well?
122
Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.
123
Not true in real life.
124
I'm just making this up for the purpose of this video.
125
What team do you root for?
126
To root for a team means to support a team.
127
Go Dodgers.
128
This is how you support your team.
129
Go Dodgers.
130
Go Linguam Arena.
131
Go English language learners.
132
Yay.
133
Yeah.
134
Are you going to see their game next week?
135
I'm not sure yet.
136
But I'd love to, I haven't bought a ticket yet, so who knows?
137
Who knows is a great expression.
138
Who knows?
139
Oh, one of my friends canceled.
140
And I have an extra ticket.
141
Do you want to join me?
142

161

171
This is one of the sessions I'm most excited about.

189
Definitely.
190
They have a whole bunch of jackets, different colors, designs.
191
You'll find something.
192
My stylist recommended this jacket and the quality is the best.
193
I am dying to see their collections.
194
So you work with a personal stylist?
195
Yes, and I love it.
196
No more problems with shopping.
197
Exactly.
198
I once purchased this expensive purse in Paris,
199
but it is so stylish,
200
so it's really hard for me to wear it with my ordinary outfits.
201
It's actually a great idea to have a personal stylist.
202
That's what stylists are for.
203
They help us look our best without spending too much time on it.
204
Definitely.
205
Thank you guys so much for watching this video up to the very end.
206
If you want to reduce your accent and learn more phrases,
207
first of all, watch this video once again and repeat more phrases.
208
Second, we have a course that is called Speak Like an American where we dig deeper into how Americans actually speak,
209
what they do with their mouth,
210
and this is all explained by non-native speakers,
211
and I think that learning how to speak like an American from people who actually went through that challenge.
212
I had my Russian accent,
213
Vena, who's the teacher, had his Russian accent.
214
We were born and raised in Russia.
215
I lived there for 25 years.
216
He lived there for 20 years,
217
and it took us a while to master American accent,
218
but because we did it,
219
it just proves that it is possible to do it.
220
It is possible to get rid of your accent and start sounding more like an American.
221
So if you're interested in doing that,
222
please check out the course.

Контекст и фон
В данном видео мы знакомимся с практикой малых разговоров на английском языке. Процесс общения, который начинается с легкой беседы, играет ключевую роль в англоязычной культуре. Многие люди используют малый разговор, чтобы разрядить атмосферу или завязать контакт с собеседником. Idle chit-chat о погоде, последних новостях или просто о том, как прошел день, позволяет не только углубить знакомство, но и практиковать язык. В этом уроке мы научимся важным выражениям для успешной коммуникации и их правильному произношению.
Топ 5 фраз для повседневного общения
- «Ooh, it looks like there is a storm brewing» – Это идиоматическое выражение означает, что надвигается буря.
- «I’m afraid so. The sky is overcast» – Я боюсь, что да. Небо затянуто облаками.
- «I can’t relate» – Я не могу с этим согласиться.
- «Fair enough» – Это приемлемо (выражает согласие).
- «Long time no see» – Давненько не виделись (используется при встрече после долгого времени).
Пошаговое руководство по shadowing
Чтобы успешно освоить малые разговоры, начните с shadow speak – повторения услышанных фраз вслед за диктором. Это отличная техника для улучшения произношения и уверенности в языке. Вот как можно эффективно практиковать с видео:
- Смотрите видео внимательно – Обратите внимание на интонацию и ритм речи.
- Слушайте и повторяйте – Используйте технику shadowspeak, чтобы повторить каждую фразу вслух, стараясь имитировать акцент и произношение.
- Записывайте себя – Сравните свою речь с оригиналом, чтобы выявить области, требующие улучшения.
- Практикуйтесь с другом – Найдите партнера для практики; это поможет вам лучше запомнить фразы и получить обратную связь.
- Повторяйте регулярно – Регулярная практика с использованием материалов, которые вы нашли на shadowing site, поможет вам закрепить знания.
Запомните, что учить английский с YouTube и другими интерактивными ресурсами – это не только эффективно, но и увлекательно. Практика разговорного английского с подобными видео способствует улучшению навыков общения и укреплению уверенности в своих способностях.
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.
