Hello, everybody, and welcome back once again to another British English chit chat with a new guest.

So, without further ado, Hayley, introduce yourself.

Who are you?

Hi.

Thanks for having me.

My pleasure.

So, I'm Hayley.

I'm the teacher and founder of I Speak English.

You can catch me on YouTube as well.

And I usually focus mainly on C1 and C2 exams, so advanced level, proficiency level exams.

And I've been teaching for, I think, about 14 years now.

So I originally started in Italy when I lived there, teaching in schools, and then I moved online maybe 10 years ago, I think.

So it was pre -COVID I was online before everyone else was. And

everyone ended up online as well but

and why did you go online before everybody else

because there were very very few people who taught online classes before the pandemic

and as you mentioned then everything changed

so how come you did it before everyone else um

I think I just kind of fell into it really um I left my job at the school

because I didn't really like the management

And I love teaching, but it was, you know, management wise.

I was like, this isn't for me.

So I tried to go it on my own and it's kind of difficult.

You need a lot of word to mouth in Italy, word of mouth, excuse me.

And that was tricky.

So I was just looking for other options.

And then I found a school online.

I thought, oh, I'll do that.

And then it just kind of went from there, really.

It was nice.

Yeah.

But it was hard because it was, there was no video.

It was only calls.

So you were teaching on Skype, but only using voice.

It was very tricky without the feedback from the student.

It was quite hard.

But eventually we got to video and it was good.

So you persevered.

You kept going.

I persevered.

Technology caught up with you.

It did eventually.

Okay, we'll dig a little bit deeper into this, but first, Italy.

Whereabouts in Italy did you live, and how would you sum up the experience?

Well, I was on the south coast in Puglia, which is like the heel of the boot.

It's like the kind of gem of Italy, the beautiful beaches, amazing food,

all the northerners go down to puglia in uh in summer take over the place

and you know enjoy the the beach life um but before

that i was in a place called molise

which is in the middle of nowhere that was my erasmus year

because i studied italian at university

so i was in italy on erasmus for one year but

that was in the middle yeah middle of nowhere mountains there's a joke in italy

that it doesn't even exist like the entire region doesn't exist um

so nobody knows anyone from there nobody nobody's ever been there

so that was quite uh that was quite difficult but again

that was a great way of immersing yourself in the language

because if you go to a place where there's hardly any other foreigners then you've got no choice

but to really immerse yourself in the language, right?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

And there was no other English people there, no other foreigners.

I actually did a teaching assistantship there with the British Council.

So you could choose to either study at a university or do a teaching assistantship.

And I chose teaching.

And we had a meeting in Turin for all of the teachers, the assistants for that year across the whole of italy

and they said okay

when you hear your region stand up not your city your your whole region stand up

and then you can talk to the other people in your region

and they shouted molise and i was the only person in the room

that stood up there was not even another english person in the whole region let alone um the city

that i was in so i was very isolated

but um the people are very friendly and yeah they took me in

and i was able to make friends language wise yes it's a very good uh thing to just immerse yourself

and not have the option to speak your native language makes a huge difference no it sounds great

and of course if people are welcoming and they're nice

and friendly you use this phrasal verb they took you in

so it's kind of like they welcomed you they accepted you

but I imagine after a

while being kind of in the middle of nowhere it might get a little bit boring

so is that why you moved to Puglia?

No, it wasn't.

My Erasmus year ended.

It was only a year.

The fact that I was isolated was great because I actually ended up traveling all over Italy because I was bored.

I was only teaching something like 10 hours a week, so I had lots of opportunity to just hop on the train and go somewhere.

But no, I went back to the UK and finished my degree.

I had I think I was just looking for jobs in Italy, and this job popped up,

and I thought, oh, see if they'll take me on, another phrasal verb.

And they did take me on.

I got my job, and then I stayed there for two years.

Okay, lovely.

You mentioned this phrasal verb.

You might notice that I'm taking some notes, and that's just because at the end of this conversation,

I'll be doing a little bit of a recap of some of the expressions

and phrasal verbs so bear with us as we keep going over some more of these words

and phrases so they took you on they hired you they gave you a chance

and i love speaking about food i think everybody loves speaking about food

and you mentioned that pulia had yummy delicious scrumptious food

100

so do you have any favorite dishes from pulia god that's a hard question there's so many um they do um

101

Orecchiette with Cima di Rappi, which is a type of pasta, and they're like, yeah, the little ears with,

102

it's kind of, Cima di Rappi, you can only find it in Puglia, but it's like a kind of broccoli slash spinach vegetable.

103

It's got a very unique taste to it.

104

I think some people love it, some people hate it.

105

It's a bit like Marmite um but yeah that's one of my favorites

106

and octopus that's their their main thing uh both raw

107

and cooked octopus i prefer the grilled octopus is better

108

but yeah nice octopus sandwich with a beer that's perfect it sounds delightful

109

and there's another dish that i think has popped up on my feed before

110

which is weird when you see how it's made

111

because it's essentially burning pasta

112

and i think it's called the murderers pasta the murderers spaghetti where they'll cook

113

it with a little bit of like tomato sauce really really high heat

114

so then it gets a little bit crispy on the edges

115

of the spaghetti um yeah are you a fan of this dish

116

or not yes i do like it yeah

117

and they put a little bit of spice in there as well

118

when they put the little chili pepper in there yeah very nice

119

but i assume whoever created that it was an accident

120

they just burnt the spaghetti and said oh well i'll eat it anyway

121

but oh it turned out perfect it's even tastier than normal

122

and if anybody ever wants to say

123

that something is a little bit hot a little bit spicy you can use a nice phrase

124

which is it's got a kick to it it has a nice kick to it like oh it kicks you

125

and kind of wakes you up when you eat it

126

and in my case

127

when i eat spicy food i get a little bit sweaty

128

i get sweaty for a lot of reasons i mentioned this on the podcast many times

129

that doing exercise get sweaty i'm feeling embarrassed i get sweaty

130

i eat spicy food i get sweaty you're just sweaty in general i'm a sweaty guy

131

it's got a kick to it a little bit of spice to it yeah i've just realized

132

because i i teach a lot of c1

133

and c2 learners i don't really slow down my speech

134

and i do tend to use a lot of phrasal verbs

135

and idioms so i don't know

136

if your um audience is more of a lower level

137

or a higher level but i'll try and slow it down a little bit

138

because i've realized i'm talking no no no you don't have to keep

139

it normal keep it natural of course

140

i have all sorts of levels who will tune in to this podcast i naturally speak quite slowly

141

so it's nice to have that difference

142

so feel free to speak at normal natural speed okay

143

so now that's probably enough about italy let's move forward

144

because you don't live in italy now do you i do not know i live in spain okay uh why the change?

145

I wanted to learn Spanish.

146

I'd already got to kind of, I would probably say I was about C2 level Italian by the time I left.

147

I'm definitely not on anymore.

148

Unfortunately, I've not spoken Italian in probably eight years,

149

so it's gone way down if you you don't use it you lose it unfortunately um

150

but yeah i started studying spanish a year before i moved

151

and then i moved again to the middle of nowhere initially

152

in a region called hayen

153

which is just olive groves as far as the eye can see

154

and nothing else um again nobody spoke english there were no foreigners where i were at where i was

155

so yeah i I got into the language pretty quickly.

156

And I live in the south of Spain, which is Andalusia.

157

They have a very particular accent in Andalusia, which is very difficult to learn if you've learned standard Spanish.

158

It's very hard to understand it because they kind of chop all of their sounds.

159

They don't add S's to the end of any of their words.

160

But it's a lot easier to speak it because you don't have to

161

you don't have to remember the yeses you don't have to match you know your adjectives with your nouns

162

because they just don't do it there so it's a lot easier to speak

163

and moving to the middle of nowhere again apologies to anyone who is from saying I've never been

164

but I do know it is quite rural

165

and it does have quite a particular accent

166

and yeah as you mentioned it's a good place to improve your language skills because of the lack of other foreigners.

167

But was it a conscious decision to move to a place like this?

168

Or did it just happen, you know, because life happens?

169

It was, it depended on my, it was actually my ex at the time.

170

He needed a job and he just found a job in Haen.

171

I was working online so I could work wherever I wanted.

172

But so I just went with him to Haen and we ended up there for a couple of years.

173

But again, it was good for my Spanish Yeah, it sounds great

174

Did you notice a big difference

175

Between life in Italy And life in Spain?

176

Maybe a couple of differences I remember

177

What do I remember coming here now?

178

It took me a while to settle in I think I remember queuing

179

Because in Italy there's just no in south italy anyway

180

there's no queuing system you just kind of barge in uh you know kind of elbow people out the way

181

and just you know shout whatever you want to the

182

i don't know barista

183

or whoever's serving you in spain i noticed people ask oh are you the last in the queue

184

and you'd say yes so there's still not really you can't really see the queue

185

but there's an order to it at least um

186

and also paperwork yes it's still slow in spain

187

but it's faster than it is in italy okay so you can get stuff done in spain quicker

188

wow yes which is much surprising to hear yeah no really yeah in italy it would take me a good

189

few hours to pay my rent every month

190

because i had to queue up in the post office

191

and do some transaction and everyone would panic

192

when they saw my British passport

193

they didn't know what to do with it how to put

194

it in the system now I'd have to explain every month

195

please let me pay my rent um but here it's a lot easier people get stuff done

196

relatively quickly I would say good to hear and a nice phrasal verb you use was barge in If people barge in,

197

it's like they storm into a place, kind of elbowing you out of the way, as I mentioned.

198

A little bit aggressive, without really taking into account that other people are in front of you.

199

They just barge in.

200

They stormed into the place.

201

Yeah.

202

Okay.

203

Now, we'll focus on more of these expressions and C1, C2 language

204

but first would you consider spain to be home now do you reckon you'll settle down

205

and stay in spain for the long run yes absolutely yeah

206

i got married here a couple of years ago

207

i'll probably be having kids here i'm yeah got a house here

208

i'm set yeah i've been here eight years now

209

so i'm i'm not moving anywhere i don't think perfect

210

so spain is home

211

now you're sorted yeah yeah for sure yeah people are great weather's lovely food's good great quality of life yeah

212

i'm here i'm not going back to the uk anyway why not

213

i've been outside the uk too long now it's been about 12

214

or 13 years since i've lived in the uk

215

so it's i'm used to the mediterranean lifestyle it's nice

216

i couldn't put up with the rain i don't think

217

i couldn't stand the rain anymore i mean it is a little bit annoying

218

and right now we're recording this in september

219

and i've been back home in the uk for a couple

220

of weeks after having been in spain for quite a while

221

and during my time in spain five weeks give

222

or take it didn't rain at all of course summer in spain

223

and then i came back here

224

and the first day i got back everybody was talking about this heat wave

225

this drought it hasn't rained in ages

226

and then the day i get back it starts just spitting just you know drizzling a little bit

227

and for the last couple of weeks it's rained pretty much every day

228

so yeah welcome back typical english weather welcome back lewis

229

we missed you yeah you had a nice rain uh rain vocabulary there as well spitting

230

which is kind of when you think about it it's kind of gross spitting just

231

it's just spitting it's just drizzling and of course drizzle

232

and spit always to say it's raining a little bit then to say it's raining a lot we have

233

so many alternatives and pretty much all of them are phrasal verbs

234

so pissing it down pouring it down bucketing it down lashing it down chucking it down maybe there's more

235

but off the top of my head that's already quite a lot hammering

236

it down hammering it down everything with down yeah hammering it down I don't think I can think of any more

237

We can make up phrasal verbs

238

Just something down

239

It is sharing it down

240

Excellent Any object with down

241

Anything with down

242

And it should work

243

Now let's get on to Advanced English Of course I speak relatively slowly

244

On most of the podcasts

245

But I try to use lots of expressions

246

and idioms etc Hayley how would you separate

247

and assess the difference between maybe a b1 level student

248

and a c1

249

or c2 level student what do you think differentiates the two oh okay nice question um well

250

there's a huge it's a huge step between b1 and c1 even between b2 and C1, actually.

251

It's quite a big step.

252

I think people underestimate the amount of work it takes to get even from B2 to C1.

253

But I'd say probably the amount, like you mentioned, then vocabulary, the amount of different vocabulary they use,

254

especially with phrasal verbs and idioms, and that allows a C1 or C2 speaker just to speak more fluently

255

and more naturally without stopping or hesitating so much or without also over -complicating their speech too much.

256

Whereas a B1 level learner, yes, they'll be a bit hesitant when they speak.

257

They'll be searching for the right words that they need.

258

The word might not be appropriate for the context that they're using either.

259

And if they don't know the word, they'll have to maybe say an entire sentence to explain the word that they want to use,

260

which is why phrasal verbs are really important, actually.

261

This is what I tell my students.

262

Yes, they're difficult to learn.

263

They may not have a translation into your native language, but you can say an entire sentence just using two words,

264

whereas in your native language, you would have to say the whole sentence to get all of the information in

265

that you can just say by using the phrasal verb in English.

266

Perfect.

267

Great answer.

268

Of course, there are lots of things you can work on with expressions, colloquialisms, collocations, phrasal verbs, using the right preposition.

269

Then when it comes to your accent as well, you don't have to remove your native accent completely, of course.

270

But if you neutralize it a little bit, if it sounds a little bit less like your mother tongue, then that is a good thing.

271

It's a positive thing.

272

And I think sometimes it's quite endearing.

273

It's quite nice when you hear a French person, an Italian person, a Spanish person,

274

or from any country, just have a little bit of their own accent because then

275

It can spark a nice conversation of like, ah, you speak English really, really well.

276

You sound almost like a native speaker, but I can just sense something, a strange twang.

277

Where is it you're from?

278

So I think that accent reduction is important,

279

but we don't have to stress out too much about completely getting rid of your accent because it's hard work.

280

And I think people can only really do that

281

if you are practically born and raised in another country

282

and you learn all of the sounds as a child or a teenager.

283

And then it can kind of feel seamless between using English and using your mother tongue.

284

So that's another thing.

285

What else is there?

286

Well, there are lots of videos online about how to go from B1 to C1 level in English.

287

It's a big topic, of course.

288

But Hayley, what tips would you give people who ask you, like, how do I progress?

289

What should I do?

290

What are the practical steps that I should put into practice?

291

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff online you know it's like i don't know fluent in three months

292

or you know do this in two weeks

293

and i just think this is

294

so unrealistic i think the main thing you need is time like i said it's a huge step

295

so give yourself as much time as you can there's no rush um unless you happen to need a qualification

296

or something like that like the the cambridge c1 exam you have to pass it

297

but even then it will take you a couple of years minimum to go from B1 to C1.

298

So give yourself enough time. Be consistent.

299

I think that's the main thing with any language.

300

You need to consistently do it every day, even if it's just 10 minutes here or there.

301

Keep it consistent and make English a part of your everyday routine

302

if you can so that you're not necessarily forcing yourself to study

303

but just you know watch tv in english

304

or listen to a podcast like this one or just do anything

305

that you can in english

306

and just make it normal for yourself um vocabulary like we said is a big one try to do

307

that every day if whether it's by using an app

308

or whether you keep um vocabulary lists when you hear new vocabulary

309

if you're watching tv write it down

310

and then review it at the end of the week also try to use

311

it i think a lot of people learn passively

312

so they'll read something in english or they'll listen

313

but then they don't actively use what they've learned um

314

which i think kind of stops progress a little

315

so try to use it

316

if you don't have the chance to speak use it in writing

317

you can you know write what you've done today

318

and purposely try to use the new vocabulary from your list um

319

or try to write a story or just even just sentences example sentences

320

that are um personal to you maybe

321

if you can make a personal connection as well between the vocabulary

322

that helps because it kind of gets associations in your mind

323

and then you you can remember it easier when you try to use it in speaking later on. So there's that.

324

Yeah, just anything you can do in English, reading, watching TV.

325

You don't necessarily have to study a lot, but just surround yourself as much as you can with the language.

326

Obviously, studying on top helps because then you get the kind of structured element as well,

327

plus the you know the more natural elements let's say

328

i think it's good to have a a mix of both structure

329

and you know a bit more natural a bit more um impromptu sort of learning i would say no perfect

330

and of course there are loads of videos online of different tips of things you can do

331

but i think both of us can sum

332

it up with being consistent practicing every day not only getting passive learning

333

but also active learning is very important as well and the word

334

that i use over and over again is immersion try to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible

335

So anything that you would normally do in your mother tongue, try to switch it to English.

336

So whether that's TV, news, music, you name it.

337

If you normally do something in your own language, there is probably a way to do it in English.

338

And nowadays, it doesn't take that much effort.

339

And in the past, people would always be saying, I want to move to the UK.

340

I want to move to the US.

341

I want to move to Ireland or Australia or South Africa because I want to learn English.

342

Thinking that the two go hand in hand.

343

If you move there, you will magically and instantly become fluent in the language.

344

Hayley, do you think that is the case?

345

If you move abroad, will you magically become fluent in English?

346

No, I do not think that's the case.

347

No, I mean, for example, I have quite a lot of students who actually live in the UK and they're still learning English.

348

so it's again it's all about how much effort you put in

349

if you do immerse yourself just

350

because you're in the country doesn't mean you're immersed in it

351

if you don't go out and

352

if you don't speak to local people let's say

353

you speak to your partner in your native language you speak to your kids in your native language

354

and maybe you don't even work in england for example then you're just still surrounded by your native language all day.

355

But you need to get out, speak to people on the street, join meetup groups if you can, get some hobbies going in English.

356

There's plenty of international language exchanges you can find in any city.

357

Even where I live, I live in a very small town

358

but there's two meetups every week for international language exchange

359

which is great as well so yeah just really get into the community

360

if you want to learn English

361

and what you said before as well about accent reduction

362

I think yes the easiest way to kind of pick up

363

an accent let's is to move to a country where the target language you're learning is spoken

364

if it's english sure move to the uk

365

but again you need to surround yourself with it and then you also need to speak

366

in order for your you to pick up the accent

367

and to kind of get that little twang maybe in your accent

368

so yeah like you said immersion immersion immersion immersion

369

that is the game of the game say it again immersion immersion immersion

370

and obviously it is a little bit trickier

371

but you can immerse yourself without leaving your house

372

so yeah you can immerse yourself without moving abroad

373

or necessarily traveling just online there are so many resources countless resources

374

that you can use for listening for reading there are lots of conversation clubs

375

that you can join as well or you can do conversation exchanges

376

or you can join some kind of online club in your target language English in this scenario

377

so of course it helps it can help to motivate you

378

if you move abroad but I think that is the main thing

379

because it's very easy to get lazy and stay in your comfort zone

380

when you move abroad and think like ah I've just met a friend

381

and he's from the same city as me

382

so now we're going to be best mates

383

and then little by little you stop making an effort to integrate with local people

384

and use that language so i know many people living in spain who have done this

385

and yeah despite having spent many years living in spain they're not actually making

386

that much progress so you know that's just a warning to everybody

387

that you do need to continue to put in the effort and try to immerse yourself in the language,

388

even if you are living in a country where English is spoken.

389

Yeah, absolutely.

390

Um, yeah, it's very typical of British people, unfortunately, when they live abroad,

391

that they don't tend to speak the language of where they live just because everyone else tends to speak English anyway.

392

Um, going back to when I lived in Italy, when I was on my Erasmus year,

393

um, yeah, Again, I was in the middle of nowhere so it really helped my Italian.

394

I was incredibly nervous and scared.

395

I couldn't really speak when I arrived, even though I'd studied for two years at university.

396

I couldn't really say much and I was very nervous.

397

You were talking about a comfort zone for a

398

while i did stay in the house i was

399

so nervous i didn't really want to go out

400

and speak to people and it took me a

401

while to really kind of um what's the word

402

it's come out of my shell there you go that's idiomatic expression there yeah come out of my shell

403

and eventually start uh speaking to people and

404

when i did yes it's very difficult at the start you might get headaches i was getting headaches a lot

405

because i was having to concentrate so hard on what people were saying um

406

and it is quite embarrassing because you're making mistakes maybe you feel like a child

407

when you're speaking um but nine times out of ten nobody's going to laugh at you

408

when you're talking nobody's gonna make jokes they're probably going to be very helpful

409

and give you the word that you're struggling to find

410

or um you know it's it's better to try

411

and then eventually get to your goal because

412

if you don't try then you will never ever be fluent uh in your language

413

or you won't improve um and that was kind of proven

414

when I went back to university there was only about 20 people in my class at university it was very small

415

and the rest of the people were studying at universities in Italy with other English people.

416

And you could see it because they couldn't speak Italian.

417

Even when they got back, they couldn't speak properly.

418

And then there was me going in my southern Italian accent because I had no other choice.

419

But, yeah, don't give yourself the choice.

420

Pretend, okay, I don't have any choice here.

421

I just have to go out and do it

422

and try to avoid making friends with people that are from your native country or speak your native language.

423

I think that's the number one mistake.

424

No, I couldn't agree more.

425

I absolutely agree.

426

And if you pretend almost that, okay, I cannot possibly use my own language, then you have no choice but to make an effort

427

and to go out of your comfort zone to improve your language skills in English in this scenario

428

so yeah i absolutely agree and i was gonna ask you something else

429

but i kind of ah i don't remember it's on the tip of my tongue i got it

430

so what i was trying to remember was the fact

431

that you said that now your italian is a little bit rusty

432

because of course you haven't lived there for i don't know a decade almost yeah

433

i have a very similar situation with my italian

434

which never got to a great level and also a bit of my Portuguese

435

which never got to a great level either

436

but this is the importance of consistency

437

so I kind of I just wanted to hammer home

438

that point I wanted to really highlight it that

439

if you stop listening reading speaking no matter how advanced

440

you were in the first place it will get a little bit rusty

441

so even if it's just a little bit of listening

442

or a little bit of speaking it is very important

443

that you don't think that once you've reached an advanced level the learning is over

444

because you can very quickly lose some of your fluency your confidence as well some expressions

445

that you might have learned in the past

446

so it might be a little bit depressing to hear but learning a language is a lifelong

447

journey that you can't give up you have to carry on doing it

448

and if you reach a really really high level of course you can take your foot off the gas

449

and you can maybe make a little bit less effort

450

but you have to keep doing something just to maintain it

451

because as you said at the beginning of the conversation

452

if you don't use it you will lose it yeah it's a shame yeah

453

when I think oh I was you know I could do anything I wanted in Italian a few years ago

454

and now I'd be lucky to have a conversation with someone

455

I'm sure you could for the record very very simple conversation

456

I'd probably say maybe be one level at most my Italian is now I mean understanding is fine

457

But speaking is a whole other thing I think that's the thing

458

Muscle memory as well

459

You lose a lot of muscle memory

460

When you don't speak

461

Either in pronunciation

462

Or just the way that the words flow as well I feel like if I spoke Italian now

463

It would probably come out

464

In like a Spanish intonation

465

Or with a Spanish accent

466

Or something like that I agree

467

So learn from our mistakes

468

Don't make the same mistakes that we have made

469

Be consistent more consistent than the teachers are.

470

Now, let's finish off with a couple of hypotheticals, a couple of nice second conditional questions,

471

because this morning I've been teaching some classes, reviewing conditionals,

472

so I thought it would be a nice way of wrapping up this chat all about becoming fluent and advanced English.

473

So, Hayley, are you ready?

474

I am.

475

Throw some out.

476

Okay.

477

Let's go with this question what would you do

478

if you didn't have to work for a year how would you spend

479

that year i imagine you're still going to earn the same salary financially there will be change

480

so you're not going to become a millionaire i'm not talking about winning the lottery

481

but one year no work same salary how would you spend it what would you do nice oh god that's

482

so hard because i work so much my life yeah

483

when you're self -employed you basically never stop working

484

so yeah um what would i do i probably i mean it's a bit cliche most people probably say this

485

but i'd probably just travel i've not um traveled much really since i got uh i got cats

486

so i can't really leave them on their own for an extended amount of time

487

but then again that wouldn't change would it

488

if I didn't work I'd still have the cats

489

so I couldn't you could take the cats with you who

490

knows get a little cat bag one of them possibly the other one absolutely not no

491

she hates the she hates the carrier absolutely okay let's pretend I don't have cats as well

492

So if I didn't have a job, yes, I would go and travel the world.

493

I definitely want to see more of Asia.

494

I went to Japan last year or the year before.

495

That was fantastic.

496

I'd love to go back to Japan, South Korea as well.

497

I'd love to go there.

498

Lots of Asian countries.

499

I'm supposed to go to Turkey this year, and then we didn't end up going there either, but I'd like to go there.

500

I've got quite a few students in Turkey, so it's show me around um yeah just travel try

501

and see as many places as it could i think what about you what would you do in my case

502

i mean i'd probably do the same

503

i guess the answer is more where you would go rather than what you would do yeah

504

i think most people who i've asked this question to they say well

505

i'd travel i suppose you'd go around different places some people have told me

506

that they would learn a new skill

507

or maybe they would take the time to spend it more with loved ones perhaps

508

if you've got young nephews nieces children maybe you could do something differently with them

509

but I probably travel as well and where would you yeah I'm kind of thinking

510

that it'd be cool to do some kind of challenge

511

and i mean a challenge of traveling through exotic

512

or maybe dangerous countries to be able to go from one

513

side of africa to the other side of africa where this would be perhaps a bit ambitious

514

but doing something like this that you would remember for the rest of your life

515

and not going to maybe more stereotypical places kind of appeals to me

516

so yeah i'd like to start maybe in cape town

517

and then make my way all the way up to egypt for example

518

but of course this is this is easier said than done it is yes i think

519

so yeah egypt's definitely on my list as well

520

and morocco i'm only across the water here from morocco

521

and i still haven't been yet so

522

that would be another place on my list

523

i think what are you waiting for i don't know

524

i don't know i have to go there at some point someday one day one day

525

and uh with this trip to africa a nice phrase

526

that comes to mind is a pipe dream

527

so maybe doing something this ambitious

528

and adventurous is a bit of a pipe dream meaning it's a bit of an unrealistic dream

529

but you never know never say never never say never yeah

530

and let's do one more one more second conditional question

531

so how about

532

if you had to give up your phone for one month would you be able to do it

533

or not oh okay let's give up my phone

534

i think i would i mean i've still got my computer

535

so yeah i mean you could use your computer you could use your ipad

536

if you got one i think i spend more time at my computer than i do on my phone

537

because i'm teaching so much and working and then

538

To be honest, at the end of the day, if I've had a full day teaching plus working,

539

I don't even want to look at my phone because I've been staring at a screen all day as it is.

540

So I don't want to go from a big screen to a mini screen.

541

So, yeah, I think I could do it, yeah.

542

And I'm a big reader as well.

543

I love reading, so I have that as my entertainment rather than scrolling, doom scrolling endlessly.

544

It's not the best habit, I don't think.

545

So I reckon I could do it.

546

okay good for you because i think you could do it no it's worrying uh

547

but i i admit it i don't think i'd be able to do it

548

or i'd only be able to do it

549

if i knew how much i was going to sacrifice let's say

550

because i do use my phone for so many things i edit videos on my phone i'll send emails on my phone.

551

I'll record videos on my phone as well.

552

Then I do a little bit of doom scrolling as well, of course.

553

Sometimes I'll have video calls with family or if I'm not with my fiance, we'll have video calls as well.

554

I track my runs on my phone.

555

I'll also keep track of how many steps I'm doing.

556

There are so many things I do with my phone

557

and it's a little bit sad or worrying to know my dependence

558

but yeah one month would be too much i could do a week maybe

559

but a week tops a week okay okay fair enough at least you're honest yeah honesty is the best policy

560

awesome so honesty is the best policy a nice little expression as well

561

and that is a great way of leading me to do a little bit of a recap.

562

So let me go over some of the things I've written down, starting with, they took me in.

563

So if somebody takes you in, they welcome you in a place, which isn't the same as take you on.

564

Because if somebody takes you on, they hire you, they employ you, they give you a job.

565

And we also use a nice verb, which is to hop.

566

I hopped on the train.

567

I hopped on the tram or the bus.

568

It's a way of saying to jump on.

569

So it shows that you get on quickly.

570

I hopped on the train to Milan, for example.

571

And spicy food, you can also say, oh, it's got a kick to it.

572

That pasta, it's got a bit of a kick to it.

573

It's a little bit spicy then we mentioned barging in so

574

if you enter a room or a shop

575

and you barge in it's like you storm in you enter very quickly without considering other people

576

and thinking if they are there

577

or not you just barge in yeah very impolite very very impolite do not barge in places

578

and then speaking about the rain i use these phrases quite a lot

579

but if it rains a little bit it spits or drizzles

580

if it rains a lot there are so many alternatives

581

but maybe the most common is it's pouring it down

582

or simply it's pouring down then if somebody becomes a little bit more confident

583

and they reveal their true self then you come out of your shell

584

so hayley came out of her shell after a week living in italy for example

585

it was more like two to three months

586

it was at the end of the trip a bit longer one year later

587

and then the final two phrases are take your foot off the gas.

588

It sounds a little bit American, but it came to mind.

589

And if you take your foot off the gas, it means that you decelerate.

590

You stop making such an effort.

591

So speaking about immersing yourself in the language, once you reach a really advanced level, you shouldn't suddenly stop learning,

592

but you can take your foot off the gas

593

and make a little bit less effort and last

594

but not least it was a pipe dream so

595

if you want to talk about a dream

596

which is maybe not very likely it's difficult to actually make

597

that dream come true then you can say it's a bit of a pipe dream

598

but you never know never say never I thought of an extra one as well

599

while you were talking about traveling around Africa you were saying you wanted to visit some less common countries

600

and i was thinking that kind of off the beaten track you wanted to go

601

off the beaten track there

602

so to roads less traveled as well possibly absolutely

603

i want to go off the beaten track also off the beaten path would be acceptable too it's funny

604

that when i'm talking you mentioned the hop on the train i didn't even realize i'd said

605

that it's interesting when you you speak you don't realize how many of these phrasal verbs

606

or idiomatic expressions you use

607

but native speakers they're just dotted everywhere whenever you speak maybe three

608

or four in one sentence can can come up

609

so that's also why they're so important to learn

610

because you might not even understand half of what someone's saying

611

if you don't know what the phrasal verbs mean

612

or the expressions mean

613

so yeah no 100 i realize this whenever my friends our family are speaking to my fiance's family

614

and i'm like oh they're probably not going to understand

615

that you might have to simplify it if you're using all of these idioms

616

and expressions like oh that might be a bit tricky

617

but that's why it's important to try and learn as many expressions

618

and phrasal verbs as possible because

619

if not you might end up in a situation where you're a little like um what did he say yeah

620

you're just nodding nod along and pretend you've understood what's happening i know it's the same

621

when i when i speak to my parents actually i don't go back to the uk much

622

but when i do i suddenly pick up on all these different things

623

that they're saying i think god i haven't heard that in years

624

because i don't tend to speak to native english speakers because i speak to my students all day.

625

My husband is not a native English speaker either.

626

All of my friends where I live are also not native English speakers.

627

So it's actually quite rare that I speak to another native English speaker.

628

So when I do, I suddenly hear all of these little sayings.

629

I think, oh, I forgot that that word existed.

630

And then I kind of make a note of it

631

and try to teach it as well on my channel as well

632

so it's yeah it's interesting absolutely and you mentioned you pick up on it

633

so you realize it you notice it another phrasal verb

634

and i reckon we'll finish off there but um hayley thank you

635

so much for joining and perhaps we can do another one of these in the future

636

and everybody thanks for watching listening and give us a thumbs up

637

if you'd like us to record another chit chat in the future

638

so thanks again and we'll see you next time and i'll see you soon bye
