กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Let's learn some advanced C1 phrases to help you build your vocabulary.
2
And first and foremost, I would like to begin with the phrase, first and foremost.
3
So this just means most importantly or more than anything else.
4
And this is an introductory phrase that you may often hear if somebody's giving a presentation or a speech,
5
and they're talking about several things that may be important.
6
So, if we're just talking about this lesson and how this is going to work, I would tell you, first and foremost, I am going to talk about the meaning of these different phrases,
7
and then I will give you some context so you can understand how the phrases are used.
8
And finally, we'll talk about the pronunciation, and I'll teach you how to say them correctly, just like a native speaker would say these phrases.
9
So, let's just move into that and talk about the pronunciation
10
and the first thing that I'd like to point out is the word
11
and is going to get reduced to just n and this is quite common in spoken English.
12
The other thing that is going on is linking.
13
This occurs when the final sound of one word is a consonant.
14
It may get linked to the beginning vowel sound of the next word.
15
So we can link that final consonant sound in first with
16
that beginning vowel sound when I reduce it and just say N, and it's going to sound like first in, first in, first and foremost, all right?
17
Just listen to it.
18
If I were to, well, talk about myself.
19
First and foremost, I am an English teacher.
20
And then after that, maybe I guess I would say I'm a YouTuber.
21
Or if we're talking about achieving English fluency, and I say, first and foremost, you need to build your vocabulary, all right?
22
That's the most important thing.
23
And then go on to talk about other things that are also important.
24
And if you are someone who enjoys building your vocabulary, well, please subscribe, turn on notifications.
25
That way I can become your teacher.
26
My name is Wes.
27
The channel is Interactive English.
28
It's all about trying to help you reach your fluency goals.
29
Let's continue.
30
And I'm going to get straight to the point.
31
I'm not going to beat around the bush
32
which happens to be the next phrase
33
that I want to teach you to beat around the bush
34
this just means to avoid talking about what's most important
35
and often you may hear people use this phrase to describe
36
what someone else is doing he's always beating around the bush
37
or she tends to beat around the bush people may often use this phrase
38
if they're telling someone not to avoid a certain topic don't
39
beat around the bush all right let's not beat around the
40
bush let's not beat around the bush don't beat around the
41
bush leonard you don't want me here just say the word
42
and i'll leave could have beaten around the bush a little
43
when pronouncing this phrase and this is more about the american accent
44
because i am from the united states
45
that final t in beat it comes between two vowel sounds
46
so i am going to pronounce this as a flap t
47
which is going to sound more like a soft d
48
and then i can link
49
that flap t with the vowel sound in around beat around the bush
50
and that is a weak the because it comes before a consonant sound
51
so you would say this with
52
that schwa the beat around the bush hey don't beat around
53
the bush the next best thing this is our next phrase
54
and it refers to the thing that is best if you cannot have or do the thing that you really want.
55
And you would really say that something is the next best thing.
56
So probably you're talking about the thing that you really want to do, what you really want, but you can't have it.
57
So you'd say, oh, well, this is the next best thing.
58
I wanted some ice cream, but they didn't have any.
59
So I got some cake, which is the next best thing.
60
For pronunciation, once again, we're going to use a weak the with that schwa sound.
61
But most importantly, I want to talk to about elision
62
and this is when sounds may get removed
63
because the final t in next
64
and the final t in best are going to elide
65
and this often happens with the t
66
when it comes between two consonant sounds the next best thing the next best thing you don't really hear
67
that t it's almost like it's muted and you know
68
when it comes to building your vocabulary you really need to practice and of course,
69
I think it would be wonderful if you're able to practice speaking English every single day.
70
However, I realize that's not always possible, but if you would like to join my speaking course, that is the next best thing.
71
I want to quickly tell you about it right now.

85
if you'd like to sign up or learn more
86
and i just hope to speak to you soon
87
because achieving english fluency it's something that you need to put in a lot of hard work.
88
It's one of those things that's easier said than done.
89
And that's the next C1 phrase that I want to teach you.
90
Easier said than done.
91
So this phrase pretty much means what it says.
92
It's used when someone says something that may seem like a good idea, but it's just really difficult to do.
93
And often it's used as a standalone statement.
94
A person may say something that's a good idea, but difficult.
95
And another person may say well easier said than done so
96
so let's practice this right now I am going to say something
97
and I just want you to say easier said than done
98
one day I am going to hike Mount Kilimanjaro in the
99
future I'd like to learn how to fly a plane I really hope this video gets 25 ,000 likes okay
100
and And this is something that you could actually help with.
101
You know, go ahead, hit that like button.
102
Let's try to make it happen.
103
So when you pronounce this phrase, I think it's pretty straightforward.
104
There is some co -articulation going on.
105
This is when you have some overlapping sounds and it allows us to link words together.
106
So really, we're just moving from the final sound of one word right in to the beginning sound of the next word.
107
So said ends with
108
that final d sound your tongue is at the top part of your mouth behind your front teeth
109
and you're gonna release right into that voice th
110
and then said then now that final n sound
111
and then once again your tongue is at the top behind your front teeth
112
but now you're going to release right into
113
that d sound in done said then done pronouncing this phrase
114
is easier said than done then we have the phrase to have an ear for something
115
and this just refers to someone who is good at hearing repeating
116
and understanding sounds and often you're talking about either music
117
or language so you're really just commenting on either your ability
118
or someone else's ability when it comes to sounds and i'm
119
trying to think of an example but this is not a phrase that i would use to describe myself,
120
but I do have some videos so you can hear how this phrase is used in context.
121
Some people were born to sit by a river.
122
Some have an ear for music.
123
Some are artists.
124
I have an ear for accents.
125
I've lost my accent entirely.
126
I have an ear for that as well.
127
It's lack me, actually.
128
Nah, that's pretty serious.
129
Anyway, I have an ear for accents for pronunciation linking is
130
going to occur you have the three words have an ear
131
we can link them together those final consonant sounds with the
132
beginning vowel sound have an ear it's almost like we're taking
133
that consonant sound
134
and moving it over to the next syllable have an ear
135
have an ear for something then we have behind the times this means well not fashionable
136
or modern and really it it does have a negative connotation
137
if you are saying that someone or something is behind the times.
138
It's like, look, you're late to the party.
139
You should have changed years ago.
140
You're behind the times.
141
In order to show you how this phrase is used in context, I have some news headlines for you.
142
Canadian TikToker slammed for behind the times video.
143
Help out your wife.
144
In the wake of chat GPT, Google is worried it's behind the times.
145
Ten video games that are painfully behind the times
146
when pronouncing this phrase keep in mind elision may occur remember this is
147
when sounds may get removed but in this case i'm talking about
148
that d in behind it's going to elide
149
because it comes between two consonant sounds behind the times and yes we're going to use that weak the Once again, with that schwa sound.
150
behind the times.
151
I've heard people use this phrase to talk about me and say, hey, Wes, you're a little behind the times when it comes to new technology.
152
Yes, I'm behind the times.
153
Then there's down to earth, which is a pretty common adjective phrase that means practical, realistic, reasonable, friendly.
154
Those are all great adjectives.
155
So this really does have a positive connotation
156
and often i think you may use this to describe a
157
person i think my father is a down -to -earth person i i like to think
158
that i am down to earth
159
if you feel like you are down to earth let me
160
know down in the comments the only thing i want to
161
say about pronunciation has to do with the word two
162
which actually has two accepted pronunciations when stressed it sounds like well just like I said, to.
163
When unstressed, it may sound like it has that schwa sound, like t.
164
It's unstressed, it's very soft, but you would often hear it when people say this phrase, down to earth.
165
Down to earth.
166
Just listen for it.
167
She's really nice.
168
Funny.
169
Down to earth.
170
You and Regis Philbin?
171
Awesome, right?
172
Surprisingly down to earth guy, and definitely not the picture I meant to show you.
173
You're a very special girl, Irene.
174
Look at you.
175
You're just so down to earth.
176
She's nice, you know, she's down to earth and mature.
177
Face the music.
178
This means to accept criticism or punishment for something you have done.
179
Maybe you made a mistake, you did something wrong, you have to tell others so you could say, yeah, I have to face the music.
180
If I told you, oh gosh, I broke my wife's favorite mug, she's going to be upset.
181
I can't lie about it, so I'm going to have to face the music
182
or maybe you'll hear people use this phrase
183
when giving advice to someone else telling them look you need
184
to be honest about what happened you need to take responsibility you have to face the music
185
when pronouncing this phrase it's pretty simple
186
and straightforward just keep in mind you're going to use
187
that weak the with the schwa sound face the music have
188
you ever had to face the music then we have the phrase have had enough
189
and i say it like that on purpose
190
because it means you want something to stop
191
because it's just really annoying you and bothering you
192
and i want you to think about the grammar because we're talking about the present perfect have had
193
something annoying started in the past it has a relationship with the present
194
and it's just like you hit your breaking point and you say, I've had enough.
195
And generally, when somebody says this phrase, they probably would use a lot of emotion because they may be upset.
196
We've had enough.
197
I have had enough.
198
I have had enough.
199
I have had enough.
200
I have had enough of it.
201
Yeah, a lot of emotion with this one.
202
When you pronounce this phrase, there is some linking that may occur.
203
That final consonant sound in had may get linked with the beginning vowel sound in enough. Had enough.
204
I've had enough.
205
Then there's to make ends meet.
206
And this means to have just enough money to buy the things that you need.
207
And really this idiom is associated with hardship and difficulty.
208
And there are some useful collocations that you can use with this phrase to give it a little bit of emphasis, like the verb struggle, to struggle,
209
to make ends meet, or the adverb barely, to barely make ends meet.
210
And once again, with pronunciation, there is more linking that may occur.
211
We can link the final k sound in make with the beginning vowel sound in ends, make ends, to make ends meet.
212
Then there's the phrase go hand in hand with something.
213
And this is when something is closely related to something else especially
214
when they happen at the same time
215
or as a result of it i could say this backpack has been designed to go hand in hand with
216
that suitcase and they're just closely related
217
or wealth goes hand in hand with saving money it's related
218
as a result for pronunciation there are two things going on linking
219
and elision both with those well the the two hands
220
that are in there so we can link
221
that final in hand with the vowel sound in in hand in
222
and then the next hand that final D elides it comes between those two consonant sounds
223
so it's going to sound like to go hand in hand
224
with to go hand in hand with something just just Listen closely for those two things
225
Hand in hand with apes and women.
226
Nick must have seen that you were working hand in hand with the police.
227
Gee, Batman, I'm sorry.
228
Don't be silly.
229
Gotta love those old Batman clips.
230
The next phrase is, for the most part.
231
And this just means mostly or usually.
232
And this is an adverb phrase that you may find at the beginning, the middle, or the end of a statement.
233
So, perhaps right now, you are thinking, for the most part, this vocabulary lesson was really helpful.
234
Or, this vocabulary lesson was, for the most part, really helpful.
235
Or, this vocabulary lesson was really helpful, for the most part.
236
So, I just said the same thing, I just moved that adverb phrase around.
237
When it comes to pronunciation, I want to point out two unstressed words.
238
And I'm talking about the words for and the.
239
So we've already talked about that unstressed, weak the with the schwa.
240
But for, when unstressed, it may sound a little more like for.
241
For the most part.
242
It allows us to say this phrase easily and quickly for the most part.
243
For the most part.
244
Let's do a little review.
245
So first and foremost, I really hope that you have, for the most part, enjoyed this video lesson.
246
And I hope that you're not thinking, I've had enough, and that you're done.
247
I would love it if you watched another video lesson, because, look, I'm going to be honest.
248
I'm not going to beat around the bush.
249
Achieving English fluency goes hand in hand with building vocabulary.
250
And now that this lesson has come to an end, watching another video lesson would be the next best thing.
251
And I know I've already asked you once, but I would appreciate it if you hit that like button.
252
If you've learned something new, it's easier said than done.
253
Actually, that is pretty easy to do, but I just wanted to give you a little bit of review so you could hear these phrases being used in context.
254
That's all for now.
255
Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you next time. So long.

การออกเสียงที่ควรระวัง
ผู้พูดใช้รูปย่อและรูปลดเสียง 69 ครั้ง เช่น you're, I'm, don't ให้พูดแบบสั้นตามที่ได้ยิน
- เสียง “sh” และ “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, schwa /ʃwɑ/, elision /ɪˈlɪʒ.(ə)n̩/, connotation /ˌkɑnəˈteɪʃən/, articulation /ɑɹˌtɪk.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/
- คำยาว — ลงเสียงหนักให้ถูกพยางค์: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, connotation /ˌkɑnəˈteɪʃən/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, articulation /ɑɹˌtɪk.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/
เสียงที่คนไทยมักออกเสียงยาก:
- เสียงท้ายคำ — ออกเสียงให้ครบ ไม่เปลี่ยนเป็นตัวสะกดแบบไทย: vowel /ˈvaʊ.əl/, pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, nuance /ˈnjuː.ɑːns/, syllable /ˈsɪl.ə.bəl/
- /v/ — ไม่ใช่ /w/ ให้ฟันบนแตะริมฝีปากล่าง: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, vowel /ˈvaʊ.əl/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, overlap /ˌəʊvəˈlæp/, verb /vɝb/
- /r/ กับ /l/ — แยกให้ชัด: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, articulation /ɑɹˌtɪk.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/, surprisingly /səˈpɹaɪzɪŋli/
