A drink that influenced business, politics, culture, and even the way people work today.

Now grab your favorite cup of coffee, get comfortable, and let's discover how coffee changed the world.
26
Let's begin.
27
Good morning, Daniel.
28
Wow, you look tired today.
29
Did you sleep well last night?
30
Not really, Emma.
31
I stayed up late working on something.
32
I definitely need a good cup of coffee.
33
Well, you're in the right place.
34
This coffee shop has some of the best coffee in town.
35
Perfect.
36
I'll have a large black coffee, please.
37
What about you?
38
I'll get a cappuccino.
39
You know, Daniel, have you ever wondered how coffee became so popular around the world?
40
Actually, yes.
41
It's interesting because people drink coffee almost everywhere.
42
But where did it all begin?
43
That's a great question.
44
Coffee has a fascinating history.
45
And believe it or not, it helped change the world.
46
Change the world?
47
Come on, Emma.
48
It's just a drink.
49
Oh, it's much more than that.
50
Coffee influenced business, politics, culture, and even the way people work.
51
Okay, now I'm curious.
52
Tell me more.
53
Well, let's start at the beginning.
54
Coffee is believed to have originated in Ethiopia, in Africa.
55
Ethiopia?
56
I had no idea.
57
How did people discover it?
58
There's a famous legend about a goat herder named Kaldi.
59
One day, he noticed that his goats became very energetic after eating some red berries.
60
Wait, goats discovered coffee?
61
That's hilarious.
62
According to the legend, yes.
63
Kaldi became curious and tried to understand why the berries had that effect.
64
So did he make the first cup of coffee?
65
Not exactly.
66
The story is a legend, so we don't know if it really happened, but Ethiopia is strongly connected to coffee's early history.
67
That's amazing!
68
And how did coffee leave Africa?
69
Coffee became an important drink in Yemen, on the Arabian Peninsula, around the 15th century.
70
Why was it so popular there?
71
Some Sufi communities used coffee to help them stay awake during long periods of prayer and religious activities.
72
That makes sense.
73
Coffee helps people stay awake even today.
74
Exactly.
75
From Yemen, coffee spread to other parts of the Middle East, including cities like Mecca, Cairo, and Istanbul.
76
And I imagine people started opening coffee shops.
77
That's right.
78
Coffee houses became important places where people met, talked, exchanged ideas, and discussed important events.
79
So coffee shops were like social media before the internet.
80
That's actually a great comparison.
81
People went there to hear news, share opinions, and learn what was happening around them.
82
I love that.
83
But did everyone welcome coffee?
84
Not always.
85
Some rulers worried about coffee houses because people gathered there to discuss politics and question authority.
86
Really?
87
So drinking coffee could be controversial?
88
Yes.
89
At different times, authorities tried to control or close coffee houses, but coffee continued to grow in popularity.
90
That's surprising.
91
I never thought a simple drink could make powerful people nervous.
92
History is full of surprises, and things became even more interesting when coffee arrived in Europe.
93
When did that happen?
94
Coffee became… Increasingly popular in Europe during the 17th century, coffeehouses opened in cities like Venice, London, and Paris.
95
Were European coffee shops similar to the ones we have today?
96
In some ways, yes.
97
People enjoyed coffee and conversation, but many coffeehouses were also important places for business and intellectual discussions.
98
What do you mean by intellectual discussions?
99
People talked about science, philosophy, literature, politics, and new discoveries.
100
Some writers and thinkers spent hours in coffeehouses.
101
So instead of sitting at home, people gathered to exchange knowledge.
102
Exactly.
103
In England, some coffeehouses were even called penny universities.
104
Penny universities?
105
That's an interesting name.
106
Why did people call them that?
107
Because customers could buy coffee for about a penny and join conversations where they might learn something new.
108
That's incredible.
109
Imagine learning about science and politics for the price of a cup of coffee.
110
And coffeehouses also helped create business connections.
111
Merchants, traders, and investors often met there.
112
Did any famous companies begin in coffeehouses?
113
Yes.
114
Lloyd's of London, which became famous for insurance, developed from a coffeehouse where people involved in shipping exchanged information.
115
Wow.
116
So coffee helped connect people who were doing business.
117
Exactly.
118
Coffee houses created spaces where information, ideas, and opportunities could move between people.
119
Now I understand why you said coffee changed the world.
120
But what about coffee and work?
121
You mentioned that earlier.
122
Well, coffee contains caffeine, which can make people feel more awake and alert.
123
I can confirm that.
124
Before my morning coffee, my brain barely works.
125
I know what you mean.
126
As coffee became popular in Europe, it offered an alternative to drinks like beer and wine.
127
Wait, people used to drink beer during the day?
128
Yes, alcoholic drinks were common in many places.
129
Coffee gave people another option, especially in social and working environments.
130
So did coffee help the Industrial Revolution happen?
131
Some people connect coffee with changes in working habits and productivity.
132
But we should be careful.
133
The Industrial Revolution happened for many reasons. Of course.
134
Machines, factories, technology, and new ways of producing things were important, too.
135
Exactly.
136
Coffee was part of a changing society, not the single reason everything changed.
137
That makes sense.
138
But how did coffee become popular in the Americas?
139
European colonial powers introduced coffee cultivation to different tropical regions, including the Caribbean and South America.
140
And Brazil became one of the biggest coffee producers, right?
141
That's correct.
142
Brazil eventually became the world's largest coffee producer, and coffee played a major role in its economy.
143
I know Brazil has a strong coffee culture, but was this expansion always positive?
144
Unfortunately, no. Coffee production was closely connected to colonialism, slavery, and forced labor in many places.
145
That's an important part of history that people don't always talk about.
146
Absolutely.
147
When we enjoy coffee today, it's worth remembering that its history includes both innovation and human suffering.
148
And what about coffee farmers today?
149
Do they face challenges?
150
Yes.
151
Many farmers deal with unstable prices, changing weather, and difficult working conditions.
152
So choosing coffee responsibly can make a difference.
153
It can help.
154
People can learn where their coffee comes from and support businesses that are transparent about their suppliers.
155
Never imagined there was so much history behind my morning coffee.
156
And we haven't even talked about modern coffee culture.
157
Oh, that's my favorite part.
158
Tell me.
159
Think about all the different ways people drink coffee today.
160
In Italy, espresso is very popular.
161
In terpy, coffee has a traditional preparation method.
162
And in the United States, you see people walking everywhere with large takeaway cups.
163
Exactly.
164
In countries like Sweden, people also enjoy a tradition called fika, which is a coffee break often shared with friends or co -workers.
165
I like that idea.
166
Taking a break, enjoying coffee, and spending time with people sounds wonderful.
167
That's one of the most interesting things about coffee.
168
It connects people across different cultures.
169
And now coffee shops are also places where people study, work remotely, or meet friends.
170
Yes.
171
From historic coffee houses to modern cafes, coffee continues to create spaces for conversation and creativity.
172
It's funny.
173
We started talking because I was tired, and now I've learned hundreds of years of history.
174
That's the beauty of curiosity.
175
One simple question can teach you so much.
176
You're right, and I think learning English works the same way.
177
Every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new.
178
Exactly.
179
You don't need to understand everything immediately.
180
Just stay curious, practice regularly, and keep going.
181
Well, Emma, I have one final question.
182
Sure.
183
What's your question?
184
After hearing all this history, do you think coffee really changed the world?
185
I do.
186
It connected cultures, encouraged conversations, supported businesses, and became part of everyday life for millions of people.
187
I agree, but I think coffee has one more important power.
188
Really?
189
What's that?
190
It makes Monday mornings a little easier.
191
I can't argue with that.
192
Anyway, thanks for the history lesson.
193
I really enjoyed it.
194
You're welcome.
195
Now, shall we order another cup?
196
Absolutely.
197
But this time, it's on me.
198
That's very kind of you.
199
Thank you.
200
My pleasure.
201
After all, we're not just drinking coffee.
202
We're enjoying a little piece of history.
203
I couldn't have said it better myself.
204
Wow, Brian, what an interesting conversation between
205
Emma and Daniel.
206
I loved how they started with a simple cup of coffee and ended up talking about hundreds of years of history.
207
Me too, Ana.
208
And I think our listeners probably learned something surprising today.
209
Coffee is not just a drink.
210
It has a fascinating story, and it has influenced cultures, businesses, and everyday life around the world.
211
Exactly.
212
And now it's time for one of my favorite parts of our podcast.
213
We're going to look at some useful English expressions from the conversation.
214
But before we begin, we want to say something important.

219
Now, let's get back to our lesson.
220
We'll explain some expressions
221
Emma and Daniel used, show you what they mean, and teach you how to use them in your own conversations.
222
Remember, you don't need to memorize everything today.
223
Listen carefully, repeat the expressions, and try to use one or two of them in your daily life.
224
Let's begin with the first expression.
225
Expression one, you're in the right place.
226
At the beginning of the conversation, Daniel said he needed a good cup of coffee.
227
Emma replied, well, you're in the right place.
228
This is a very natural expression in English.
229
We say, you're in the right place, when someone is exactly where they need to be to find something or get help.
230
For example, imagine your friend says, I'm looking for a good place to eat pizza, and you're standing inside your favorite pizza restaurant.
231
You can smile and say, you're in the right place.
232
Or someone says, I really want to improve my English.
233
You can answer, you're in the right place.
234
Welcome to English cactus.
235
I love that example.
236
And notice that we use this expression in many different situations.
237
It doesn't have to be a physical place.
238
It can also mean someone has found the right person, group, or opportunity.
239
Exactly.
240
It's friendly, positive, and very common in everyday conversations.
241
Expression two.
242
Have you ever wondered...
243
Next, Emma asks Daniel, have you ever wondered how coffee became so popular around the world?
244
This is a fantastic expression for starting an interesting conversation.
245
Have you ever wondered means have you ever thought about something because you were curious?
246
We often use it when we want to introduce a surprising question or talk about something people don't usually think about.
247
For example, have you ever wondered why the sky is blue?
248
Or have you ever wondered how people lived a thousand years ago?
249
You can even use it to start more personal conversations.
250
For example, have you ever wondered what your life would be like in another country?
251
That's a great question.
252
And a natural response could be, actually, yes, I've thought about that many times.
253
And if you've never thought about the subject before, you can simply say, no, I haven't, but now I'm curious.
254
So remember this useful structure, have you ever wondered, followed by a question word like why, how, or what?
255
Expression three, believe it or not.
256
Here's another interesting expression.
257
Emma said, And believe it or not, it helped change the world.
258
Believe it or not is something we say before sharing surprising or unexpected information.
259
Imagine telling your friend, Believe it or not, I used to hate coffee.
260
This means the information might be difficult to believe, but it's true.
261
Or you could say, Believe it or not, my grandmother is learning English at 70 years old.
262
That's wonderful, and it shows us that it's never too late to learn something new.
263
Absolutely.
264
You can also use believe it or not when telling a funny story.
265
For example, believe it or not, I met my best friend while waiting for a bus.
266
It's a great expression because it makes the listener curious about what comes next.
267
Expression four.
268
I had no idea.
269
When Daniel learned that coffee originated in Ethiopia, he said, Ethiopia?
270
I had no idea.
271
This is a perfect expression when someone tells you something you didn't know before.
272
Instead of always saying, I didn't know that, you can say, I had no idea.
273
It sounds very natural.
274
Let's imagine I tell you, Anna, did you know that my brother speaks five languages?
275
I could answer, really?
276
I had no idea.
277
That's amazing.
278
Exactly.
279
And you can make the expression more specific.
280
For example, I had no idea you were interested in history.
281
Or, I had no idea coffee had such an interesting past.
282
Both are correct.
283
And you can also say, I had no idea that coffee was so important to international trade.
284
Notice how this expression helps us show genuine interest.
285
That's very important when you're learning to have natural conversations in English.
286
Expression 5.
287
That makes sense.
288
Another expression appeared when Emma explained that some communities used coffee to stay awake during religious activities.
289
Daniel replied, that makes sense.
290
We use that makes sense when we understand something and think the explanation is logical.
291
For example, imagine your friend says, I always study English in the morning because I'm less tired.
292
You could answer, that makes sense.
293
It's easier to concentrate when you have more energy.
294
Or someone says, I stopped drinking coffee at night because I couldn't sleep well.
295
And you respond, oh, that makes sense.
296
This is a very useful expression because it shows that you're listening and understanding what another person is saying.
297
Exactly.
298
And here's another version.
299
Now it makes sense.
300
We often use this when we were confused before but suddenly understand something.
301
For example, oh, so that's why the coffee shop is closed on Sundays.
302
Now it makes sense.
303
Expression six.
304
What do you mean by...
305
Later, Emma mentioned intellectual discussions, and Daniel asked, What do you mean by intellectual discussions?
306
This is one of the most important expressions for English learners.
307
Sometimes we understand most of a conversation, but one word or phrase is confusing.
308
Instead of staying silent, we can politely ask, What do you mean by… and repeat the part we didn't understand.
309
For example, if someone says, This coffee has a very strong flavor, you can ask, what do you mean by strong flavor?
310
And the person might explain, I mean, the taste is very intense.
311
Or during a work meeting, someone says, we need to improve our productivity.
312
You could ask, what do you mean by productivity?
313
Exactly.
314
Asking questions is not something to be embarrassed about.
315
It's one of the best ways to improve your English.
316
And here's a little tip.
317
You can also say, sorry, what do you mean by that?
318
This is a very natural way to ask for clarification.
319
Expression seven, I can confirm that.
320
When Emma said coffee helps people feel more awake, Daniel joked, I can confirm that.
321
I love this expression.
322
We use, I can confirm that, when we have personal experience that supports what someone just said.
323
For example, imagine someone says, learning a new language takes patience.
324
And you answer, I can confirm that.
325
I've been studying English for two years.
326
Or someone says, traveling with children can be exhausting, and a parent laughs and says, oh, I can definitely confirm that.
327
The expression is often used in a funny way, but you can also use it in more serious conversations.
328
For example, working with international customers requires good communication skills.
329
And someone with experience can answer, yes, I can confirm that.
330
Expression 8.
331
It's worth remembering.
332
When they discussed the difficult history of coffee production, Emma said, it's worth remembering that its history includes both innovation and human suffering.
333
This is a useful expression when we want to say that something is important and should not be forgotten.
334
For example, it's worth remembering that learning English takes time.
335
Or, it's worth remembering that different countries have different customs.
336
You can also use a similar expression, it's worth trying.
337
For example, this new coffee shop looks interesting, it's worth trying.
338
And that's because worth helps us express that something deserves our time, attention, or effort.
339
So you can say it's worth reading, it's worth visiting, or it's worth learning.
340
Expression 9.
341
I couldn't have said it better myself.
342
Near the end of the dialogue, Daniel said they weren't just drinking coffee, they were enjoying a little piece of history.
343
Emma answered, I couldn't have said it better myself.
344
This expression means that someone has said something so well that you completely agree and couldn't express the idea any better.
345
For example, imagine someone says, learning English is not about being perfect, it's about communicating with people.
346
And I respond, I couldn't have said it better myself.
347
It's a wonderful expression for showing strong agreement, especially when someone expresses an important idea.
348
And if you want something simpler, you can just say exactly or I completely agree.
349
Expression 10, it's on me.
350
Finally, when Daniel offered to buy another cup of coffee, he said, but This time, it's on me.
351
This is such a useful expression.
352
It's on me means I'm paying for it.
353
Imagine you're at a restaurant with your friend.
354
When the bill arrives, you can say, don't worry, it's on me.
355
Or maybe your friend bought you coffee yesterday.
356
Today, you can say, you paid last time.
357
This one's on me.
358
And if someone offers to pay for you, you can answer, that's very kind of you.
359
Thank you.
360
You may also hear, my treat.
361
It means almost the same thing.
362
Excellent.
363
These are the kinds of expressions that can make your English sound more natural and confident.
364
And remember, you don't need to use all ten today.
365
Choose your favorite three and practice saying them out loud.
366
Small steps make a big difference.
367
Keep practicing and you'll see how your English improves.
368
And that brings us to the end of today's episode.
369
Wow, Brian, who would have thought that something as simple as a cup of coffee could have such an incredible history?
370
I know, Anna.
371
Today, we discovered how coffee traveled from Africa to the Middle East, Europe, and eventually around the world.
372
We learned how coffee houses became places where people shared ideas, discussed politics, and built important business connections.
373
We also explored different coffee traditions around the world, from Italian espresso and Turkish coffee to Swedish fika and Brazilian cafezinho.
374

Maybe you can even enjoy a cup of coffee together while practicing some of today's expressions.
378
Remember, learning English is a journey.
379
You don't have to learn everything in one day.
380
Just keep showing up, stay curious, and celebrate your progress.
381
Thank you so much for spending this time with us.
382
We hope you enjoyed learning about coffee as much as we enjoyed sharing its story with you.
383

ผู้พูดใช้รูปย่อและรูปลดเสียง 62 ครั้ง เช่น don't, you're, couldn't ให้พูดแบบสั้นตามที่ได้ยิน
- เสียง “th”: gather /ˈɡæðɚ/, grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/, thumb /ˈθʌm/, thinker /ˈθɪŋ.kɚ/
- เสียง “sh” และ “zh”: innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, preparation /ˌpɹɛpəˈɹeɪʃ(ə)n/, controversial /ˌkɑn.tɹəˈvɝ.ʃəl/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/
- คำยาว — ลงเสียงหนักให้ถูกพยางค์: intellectual /ˌɪntəˈlɛkt͡ʃʊəl/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, preparation /ˌpɹɛpəˈɹeɪʃ(ə)n/
เสียงที่คนไทยมักออกเสียงยาก:
- เสียงท้ายคำ — ออกเสียงให้ครบ ไม่เปลี่ยนเป็นตัวสะกดแบบไทย: curious /ˈkjʊɹ.i.əs/, intellectual /ˌɪntəˈlɛkt͡ʃʊəl/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, intense /ɪnˈtɛns/, arrive /əˈɹaɪv/
- /v/ — ไม่ใช่ /w/ ให้ฟันบนแตะริมฝีปากล่าง: everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, discover /dɪˈskʌvə/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, flavor /ˈfleɪvə/
- /z/ — เสียงก้อง ไม่ใช่ /s/: confused /kənˈfjuːzd/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/, confuse /kənˈfjuːz/, memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/
วิธีฝึกกับวิดีโอนี้
- ฟังวิดีโอให้จบหนึ่งรอบโดยยังไม่ต้องพูด แล้วจดคำที่ยังไม่รู้จัก
- เริ่มที่ความเร็ว 0.75× พูดตามทีละประโยค แล้วกลับไปใช้ความเร็วปกติเมื่อเริ่มคล่อง
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง confirm, connect, lesson เป็นพิเศษ
