Hi everyone!
2
Do you sometimes want to tell people about a special holiday in your country?
3
Maybe you want to describe a tradition, but you're not sure how to find the right words?
4
You are not alone.
5
Many English learners feel this way.
6
It can be tricky to explain important cultural events.
7
Exactly.
8
And sometimes it's hard to ask about other people's traditions too.
9
But don't worry.
10
Because today we are going to make it much easier.
11
Welcome to the English Speaking School podcast.
12

We'll learn how to describe them clearly.

We'll also practice using words like first, then, and after that to explain the order of events in a celebration.
18
And we'll show you how to compare holidays, like saying, in my country, it's similar to, or it's very different from.
19
So get ready to share your culture and learn about others.

26

27
So, hit that subscribe button on your podcast app now, and let's get into our first tradition.
28
So, why exactly is it tough for many learners to talk about holidays and traditions in English?
29
Good question.
30
Often, it's not just about knowing general vocabulary.
31
We might know words for food or family, but struggle with very specific cultural items,
32
like a special type of decoration or a unique ritual.
33
That's right.
34
And explaining the order of events can be a big challenge.
35
How do you clearly say what happens at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of a celebration?
36
Exactly.
37
In our native language, we implicitly understand the sequence.
38
But in English, you really need those sequence adverbs to guide your listener.
39
For instance, first we prepare the special food.
40
Then the family gathers to eat it.
41
Without them, it can sound a bit messy.
42
So how do we make it less messy and clearer for our listeners?
43
What's the first step we can take?
44
Our first solution is to focus on simplifying your explanation.
45
Don't try to say everything at once.
46
Instead, think of your holiday as a story, with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
47
That's a great mindset shift.
48
Break it down.
49
Think about what happens first, next, and finally.
50
This immediately helps structure your thoughts.
51
Exactly.
52
When you explain a tradition, tell it like a simple story.
53
For instance, instead of just saying, we have a big meal and dance, try, first we decorate the house, then my family comes over and we eat a special meal together.
54
After that, we put on music and dance all night.
55
That's much clearer.
56
Using those sequence adverbs like first, then, and after that is key.
57
It helps your listener follow the actions easily, even if the culture is new to them.
58
Exactly.
59
So let's try a real example.
60
Imagine I'm telling you about New Year's Eve and my family.
61
I wouldn't just say, we watch fireworks and eat.
62
That's okay, but it's not very detailed.
63
Right.
64
How would you make it clear using our new strategy?
65
Okay, I'd say, first, my family gathers at my aunt's house in the early evening.
66
Then, we cook a big dinner together, often with special traditional dishes.
67
After that, we all go outside to watch the fireworks display at midnight.
68
Finally, we make a toast and wish each other a Happy New Year.
69
See?
70
Much easier to follow.
71
That's a perfect example, Emma.
72
Notice how Emma used first, then, after that, and finally.
73
These aren't just for holidays.
74
You can use them to describe any process or sequence of events in English, like giving directions or explaining how to make a recipe.
75
Okay, that first solution really helps with clarity and structure.
76
Now for our second solution, let's think about it from another angle, bridging the gap for your listener.
77
Ah, yes.
78
Sometimes even with perfect sequence, a tradition might be completely new to someone.
79
Our second solution is to use comparisons to help your listener understand by relating it to something they already know.
80
Exactly.
81
Don't just explain your holiday.
82
Help your listener connect it to their own experiences.
83
This is where phrases like, it's similar to, or it's quite different from, become incredibly useful.
84
For example, if you're talking about a traditional festival that involves costumes and street parades,
85
you could say, It's a bit like Halloween in the U .S., but people wear traditional clothes and dance in the streets.
86
You're giving them a reference point.
87
That's brilliant.
88
It immediately paints a clearer picture.
89
Or if it's a family gathering focused on food, you might say, Today, it's similar to Thanksgiving, but we eat specific sweets instead of turkey.
90
These comparison phrases are powerful because they help your listener quickly grasp the essence of your tradition, even if the details are new.
91
It makes the foreign familiar.
92
Okay, that's really helpful.
93
So Emma, can you give us another clear example of using comparisons?
94
Let's pick a holiday that might be less known to some listeners.
95
Absolutely.
96
Let's talk about Dia de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which is celebrated in Mexico.
97
Many people might think it's like Halloween, but it's actually quite different.
98
How would you explain that difference using our comparison strategy?
99
I'd say, while both Halloween and Dia de Muertos happen around the same time and involve costumes,
100
Dia de Muertos is very different from Halloween in its purpose.
101
It's not about being scary or ghosts.
102
Instead, it's a celebration to remember and honor deceased loved ones.
103
You see, I'm clarifying the core difference right away.
104
That's a great distinction.
105
And how would you make it relatable for someone who has no idea about it?
106
I'd add, you could say it's similar to a big family reunion, but with people who have passed away.
107
Families gather, share special foods, and tell stories about their ancestors.
108
It's like celebrating their lives.
109
Using similar to and it's like really helps build that bridge.
110
Fantastic.
111
Those phrases like it's very different from and it's similar to a big family reunion are incredibly powerful for explaining cultural nuances.
112
They give your listener immediate context, even for something completely new.
113
Now, for a quick tip, a two -minute trick you can use right away.
114
When you want to explain any holiday or event, think of just three main actions.
115
Only three?
116
That sounds very manageable.
117
Exactly!
118
Identify one key thing that happens first, one that happens next, and one that happens finally.
119
Then put them into simple sentences.
120
For example, first we prepare the food.
121
Next, the family arrives.
122
Finally, we give gifts.
123
And to make it even clearer, add a quick comparison.
124
So, first we prepare the food.
125
Next, the family arrives.
126
Finally, we give gifts.
127
It's similar to Christmas, but without Santa.
128
That instant mental checklist really structures your thoughts.
129
All right.
130
So to sum up everything we've covered today, we tackle the challenge of explaining holidays and traditions by focusing on three key strategies.
131
That's right.
132
Our first big takeaway was the power of sequence adverbs.
133
Words like first, then, after that, and finally, are your best friends for telling a clear step -by -step story about any event.
134
Exactly.
135
They provide a roadmap for your listener.
136
Our second crucial strategy was using comparisons.
137
Phrases like, it's similar to, or it's very different from, or even it's like.
138
Help bridge the understanding gap by relating your tradition to something familiar.
139
And finally, we gave you the two -minute trick.
140
Simplify by focusing on just three main actions first, next, finally, to describe any event concisely.
141
This helps you structure your thoughts quickly.
142
These tools empower you to clearly explain your unique cultural experiences and understand others better.
143
Now for your quick challenge today, pick one simple thing you plan to do later, maybe making dinner, going for a walk, or even just checking your email.
144
Describe it to yourself or a friend using at least one sequence adverb and one comparison phrase.
145
For example, first I'll go to the grocery store.
146
Then, I'll cook dinner.
147
It's similar to yesterday's meal, but with a different side dish.
148
Just a quick mental exercise will make these phrases stick.
149
You now have practical ways to make your stories about holidays and traditions clearer and more engaging.
150
Keep practicing these phrases, and you'll soon be discussing cultural differences with confidence.
151
Thank you for joining us today on the English Speaking School podcast.

We hope these tips help you connect and share your world.
