Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English Academy, where we make English simple and enjoyable.
2
I'm Sarah.
3
And I'm Mike.
4
Hello to all of our wonderful listeners wherever you are in the world right now.
5
Mike, can I ask you something?
6
Sure.
7
When did coffee get so… complicated?
8
What do you mean?
9
I went to a new café last weekend, and the menu?
10
I did not understand the menu.
11
Like the prices?
12
No, the words.
13
There was no coffee on the menu.
14
It said things like single-origin pour-over and oat milk cortado and cold brew with notes of chocolate." Notes of chocolate?
15
It's coffee, not a piano.
16
Exactly!
17
I just stood there for like two minutes looking at this menu, thinking, where is the normal coffee?
18
So, what did you do?
19
I said, can I just have a regular coffee?
20
And the barista looked at me like I asked for water from the ocean.
21
No. He said, do you mean a filter drip or an Americano?
22
And I said, the one that tastes like coffee.
23
Oh, that is amazing.
24
But actually, I kind of like those fancy cafes.
25
Wait, you?
26
I like trying new things with coffee.
27
I just don't always understand what I'm trying.
28
What do you mean?
29
Like, I ordered something called a cortado once because it sounded cool.
30
Did you know what it was?
31
No, not at all.
32
I just liked the word.
33
Mike, so you judge coffee by the name?
34
It sounded fancy.
35
I thought, this must be good.
36
And honestly, it was good.
37
I just couldn't tell you what was in it.
38
That is so funny because I'm the opposite.
39
I want a normal, simple coffee.
40
No special names, no notes of anything.
41
Just coffee.
42
Just brown liquid in a cup?
43
Yes.
44
Brown liquid, hot, maybe some milk, done.
45
Perfect.
46
Why does it need a story?
47
Because it's not just coffee anymore, Sarah.
48
It's an experience.
49
An experience?
50
It's a drink, Mike.
51
Okay, okay.
52
But you have to admit, coffee culture has become a really big thing everywhere.
53
That's actually true.
54
And that is what we're talking about today.
55
Not how to order, but the whole culture of coffee.
56
How it became so important in our daily lives.
57
And there are some really useful English words and phrases connected to coffee culture that you can use in everyday conversations.
58
Exactly!
59
And we have some really fun phrases coming up later that you can start using this week, so stay with us.

62
Okay, Mike, let's talk about this.
63
Simple coffee versus fancy coffee.
64
Where do you stand?
65
Okay, honestly, I like fancy cafes.
66
I like the atmosphere, the design, the music.
67
The Instagram photos?
68
Maybe a little bit.
69
But I also genuinely enjoy trying different types of coffee.
70
Like there's a cafe near my house that does this cold brew that takes 12 hours to make.
71
12 hours?
72
For coffee?
73
Mike, I can brew coffee in three minutes.
74
Ah, good word.
75
To brew means to make coffee or tea by mixing it with hot water.
76
But this cold brew uses cold water and time instead of heat.
77
I understand how it works.
78
I just don't understand why.
79
Three minutes, hot water, done.
80
But don't you think the taste is different?
81
Honestly, all coffee tastes like coffee to me.
82
See, I think some people need time to appreciate certain flavors.
83
It's like an acquired taste.
84
What do you mean?
85
An acquired taste is something you don't like the first time, but after you try it a few times, you start to enjoy it.
86
Hmm, like dark chocolate?
87
Exactly.
88
Or black coffee.
89
Most people don't like black coffee the first time.
90
I still don't like black coffee.
91
Well, maybe you haven't acquired it yet.
92
And maybe I never will.
93
Give me milk and sugar and I'm happy.
94
Okay, but I want to ask our listeners.
95
Are you a fancy coffee person or a simple coffee person?
96
Tell us in the comments.
97
I'm really curious.
98
Me too.
99
And no judgment either way.
100
Okay, so here's something I want to talk about.
101
My relationship with coffee is complicated.
102
Complicated?
103
How?
104
Well, I love it, but I also need it, and that's different.
105
What do you mean?
106
Like, yesterday, I didn't have coffee in the morning because I was late, and by noon, I had a headache, I was in a bad mood, and I almost fell asleep at my desk.
107
Oh no. It's not funny, Mike.
108
I was sitting there like a zombie.
109
Okay, it's a little funny.
110
But I actually understand.
111
That's because of caffeine.
112
Caffeine is the ingredient in coffee that makes you feel awake and alert.
113
And when you don't have it, your body gets angry.
114
Exactly.
115
Your body gets used to it, so when it's missing, you feel terrible.
116
That's me every time I skip my morning cup.
117
I just wait for the caffeine to kick in, and then I feel human again.
118
Yes.
119
Kick in means when the effect starts to work.
120
So after you drink coffee, you wait maybe 20 or 30 minutes, and then the caffeine kicks in.
121
Suddenly, you feel awake.
122
It's like a switch.
123
Before coffee, everything is slow and gray.
124
After the caffeine kicks in, colors return, birds are singing, life is beautiful.
125
That's a little dramatic.
126
I'm being completely honest.
127
Have you ever thought about cutting back on coffee?
128
Cutting back on?
129
Yes.
130
To cut back on something means to reduce it, to have less of it.
131
Like I'm cutting back on sugar means you're eating less sugar than before.
132
Have I thought about cutting back on coffee?
133
Yes.
134
Have I done it?
135
Absolutely not.
136
At least you're honest.
137
I tried once.
138
I lasted two days, Mike.
139
The headaches were terrible.
140
What about decaf?
141
Decaf is coffee without caffeine.
142
It tastes similar but doesn't have the ingredient that keeps you awake.
143
Mike, decaf is not real coffee.
144
That's like a concert with no music.
145
What's the point?
146
Some people like it.
147
Some people also enjoy waking up at 4 a.m.
148
I don't understand those people either.
149
Fair enough.
150
How many cups do you drink per day?
151
Uh, three, sometimes four.
152
Four?
153
Don't look at me like that.
154
What about you?
155
Two, maximum.
156
How do you survive on two cups?
157
I drink tea in the afternoon.
158
It's a lighter pick-me-up.
159
Oh, nice word.
160
What does that mean?
161
A pick-me-up is something that gives you energy when you're feeling tired.
162
Coffee's a pick-me-up.
163
Tea's a pick-me-up.
164
Even a short walk can be a pick-me-up.
165
So it doesn't have to be a drink?
166
No. Anything that lifts your energy.
167
I need a little pick-me-up this afternoon.
168
That's really useful.
169
But my pick-me-up is always coffee.
170
Surprise, surprise.
171
And what about everyone listening?
172
How many cups of coffee do you drink per day?
173
Okay, now let's talk about something interesting.
174
Coffee is not just a drink, right?
175
It's also social.
176
So social.
177
Think about it.
178
When you want to meet someone, what do you say?
179
Hey, let's grab a coffee.
180
But do you actually care about the coffee?
181
Not really.
182
I care about seeing my friend.
183
Exactly.
184
Coffee is just the excuse.
185
The real reason is the conversation, the connection.
186
That's true.
187
And there's a great phrase for this.
188
When you meet someone to talk about life and what's been happening, you catch up with them.
189
Yes.
190
To catch up means to meet someone and talk about what's new in your lives.
191
I haven't seen Maria in months.
192
We need to catch up.
193
Or let's catch up over coffee this weekend.
194
It sounds so natural.
195
And the coffee shop is the perfect place for that.
196
Because it's relaxed, it's casual, nobody's in a rush.
197
Well, unless there's only one table and six people waiting.
198
True.
199
But usually it's a calm place to sit and talk.
200
You know what's funny?
201
Some of my best conversations have happened in coffee shops.
202
like real deep talks about life.
203
There's something about holding a warm cup that makes people open up.
204
Are you being poetic about coffee now?
205
Maybe, but it's true.
206
You never have deep conversations at a fast food place.
207
It's always at a cafe with slow sips.
208
Oh, good word.
209
To sip means to drink slowly in small amounts, not like drinking a glass of water fast, More like small, slow sips.
210
She sipped her coffee while watching the rain.
211
Very relaxing image, right?
212
Very relaxing.
213
And very different from me at 7 a.m.
214
drinking my coffee like it's medicine.
215
Not exactly sipping.
216
Now, Mike, I want to be honest about something.
217
You know those really fancy lattes?
218
The ones with caramel and cream and special flavors?
219
Yes?
220
I said I like simple coffee, and I do.
221
But those fancy sweet lattes?
222
They're my guilty pleasure.
223
Your guilty pleasure?
224
Wait, you just spent five minutes saying fancy coffee is unnecessary.
225
I know!
226
That's why it's a guilty pleasure.
227
Guilty pleasure is something you enjoy even though you feel a little bad about it.
228
So you secretly love them?
229
Secretly, yes.
230
Sometimes on a bad day, I go to a cafe, and I order the most ridiculous sweet latte on the menu, and I enjoy every single sip.
231
Sarah, you're a secret fancy coffee person.
232
No, I'm a simple coffee person with occasional weaknesses.
233
Sure, sure.
234
So, what's your guilty pleasure, everyone?
235
Coffee-related or not?
236
Tell us in the comments.
237
Yes, we all have one.
238
Okay, this is going to be fun.
239
Let's play a little game.
240
I call it, What Does Your Coffee Say About You?
241
Oh, no. Okay, go.
242
If you drink black coffee with nothing, you're a very direct no-nonsense person.
243
I agree.
244
Black coffee people are usually very honest and efficient, maybe a little scary.
245
And if you drink a latte with oat milk, you probably do yoga and own a plant called something like Gerald.
246
Why Gerald?
247
I don't know.
248
Plant people name their plants.
249
Okay, what about people who drink espresso, just a tiny strong cup?
250
They're always in a hurry, always busy.
251
They drink it in one shot, and they're gone.
252
Like a coffee action hero.
253
And people who order sweet drinks with lots of cream and syrup.
254
They are fun people.
255
They enjoy life.
256
They don't care what anyone thinks.
257
Okay, I accept that.
258
All right, before we finish, let's do our word tour.
259
We'll go through the useful words from today so you can remember them.
260
First one, brew.
261
To brew means to make coffee or tea using hot water.
262
I brew my coffee every morning at home.
263
Next, acquired taste.
264
something you don't like at first, but you learn to enjoy after trying it a few times.
265
Black coffee is an acquired taste.
266
Sip.
267
To drink slowly in small amounts.
268
She sipped her tea while reading a book.
269
Next, caffeine.
270
The ingredient in coffee that makes you feel awake and alert.
271
I try not to have caffeine after 3 p.m.
272
Kick in, when the effect of something starts to work.
273
The coffee usually kicks in after about 20 minutes.
274
Cut back on, to reduce how much of something you do or consume.
275
My doctor told me to cut back on caffeine.
276
Caffeine is the natural stimulant in coffee that makes you feel more awake.
277
Too much caffeine can keep you asleep.
278
That's why my doctor told me to cut back on caffeine.

Decaf.

Coffee without caffeine.
281
I sometimes drink decaf in the evening so I can sleep.

Something that gives you energy when you're tired.

I need a little pick-me-up this afternoon.

บริบทและภูมิหลัง
ในวิดีโอนี้ เราได้ยินการสนทนาระหว่างสองผู้พูดที่ชื่อซาราห์และไมค์ ซึ่งพูดถึงวัฒนธรรมการดื่มกาแฟในปัจจุบันที่มีความซับซ้อนมากขึ้น จากการที่ไมค์ได้ไปเยี่ยมชมคาเฟ่ใหม่และพบว่ารายการเมนูมีศัพท์เฉพาะที่เข้าใจยากมาก การสนทนานี้ไม่เพียงแต่ทำให้เราได้เรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับกาแฟ แต่ยังสะท้อนให้เห็นถึงความเปลี่ยนแปลงในการรับรู้และการสื่อสารในสังคมปัจจุบัน ทั้งยังเปิดโอกาสในการพัฒนาทักษะการพูดภาษาอังกฤษของเราได้อีกด้วย
5 วลีสำคัญสำหรับการสื่อสารในชีวิตประจำวัน
- "Can I just have a regular coffee?" - ถามสำหรับกาแฟทั่วไป
- "Do you mean a filter drip or an Americano?" - ถามเกี่ยวกับวิธีการชงกาแฟ
- "I like trying new things with coffee." - แสดงความสนใจในสิ่งใหม่ๆ
- "Just brown liquid in a cup?" - ขอคำอธิบายพื้นฐานเกี่ยวกับกาแฟ
- "Why does it need a story?" - สงสัยเกี่ยวกับความหมายของกาแฟในปัจจุบัน
คู่มือชาโดว์อิ้งแบบทีละขั้นตอน
การเรียนรู้ภาษาอังกฤษผ่านการสนทนาในวิดีโอนี้สามารถทำได้โดยการนำเสนอวิธีการชาโดว์อิ้ง (shadowing) ที่มีประสิทธิภาพ:
- ฟังและเข้าใจ: เริ่มต้นด้วยการฟังวิดีโอหรือตัวอย่างเสียงจากการสนทนานี้หลายๆ ครั้งเพื่อทำความเข้าใจกับเนื้อหาและอารมณ์ของการพูด
- พูดตาม: เมื่อคุณคุ้นเคยกับการสนทนาแล้ว ลองพูดตาม (shadow speak) โดยการทำเสียงให้คล้ายคลึงกับผู้พูดในวิดีโอ
- ปรับปรุงการออกเสียง: พยายามให้เสียงและน้ำเสียงของคุณใกล้เคียงกับต้นฉบับมากที่สุด ซึ่งจะช่วยให้การออกเสียงของคุณดีขึ้น
