Hey, Lindsay, how are you today?
2
Hello, Aubrey.
3
I'm doing great today.
4
What's going on in your world?
5
Oh, well, it's a beautiful summer day, quite warm.
6
Oh, I actually found out that we have these ficus trees
7
that we had planted in our backyard that are pretty new trees.
8
And we realized that...
9
There you go.
10
A ficus tree.
11
A what now?
12
Okay.
13
Nice.
14
That was well done, Lindsay.
15
A what now?
16
Yeah, thank you.
17
I've never heard that word before, so that legitimately was...
18
I wasn't sure about that.
19
What do ficus trees look like, by the way?
20
They're very green and they can be just like a big sort of regular looking tree.
21
But the ones I'm referring to are called column ficus
22
that are planted to end up looking more like a really thick hedge.
23
And we have them against one of our walls, but we found out they're not getting any water.
24
They haven't.
25
They just started looking really sad, like they're dying.
26
And we realized the water, like the irrigation was the controls weren't correct and they haven't been getting water for weeks.
27
So now I'm really worried they're all going to die because it's been so hot.
28
It's been like 110 degrees every day.
29
Oh, for sure.
30
Oh my gosh.
31
Well, I hope you can get that figured out.
32
I'll keep you guys updated.
33
Save those trees.
34
I'm worried about them.
35
Save the trees, Aubrey.
36
Save the trees.
37
Save the trees.
38
But I love how you said, as soon as I said a ficus tree and you said a what now?
39
Because that's what we're getting into today.
40
I heard this recently.
41
I was like, oh, we got to talk about this on the podcast.
42
This is great.
43
Yeah.
44
Nothing sounds more natural um it's very it's a very american phrase i think um
45
but first let's get into thanking one of our amazing listeners for leaving a great review
46
so thank you to omit shah who reviewed us uh from france recently guys we love to read your reviews
47
when we get lots of detailed reviews we will send them to the team
48
and it keeps us going it keeps our energy levels up
49
it keeps us you know keeps us happy as podcasters doesn't it absolutely right it's really validating it's
50
so exciting wherever you leave your reviews and your comments, wherever you're listening to the podcast, we read them.
51
We appreciate them.
52
If you haven't left a review and a rating, please do so.
53
It means a lot to us.
54
Yeah.
55
We'll do our best to announce your name out loud on the show.
56
If we see your review as well.
57
All right.
58
So I said, Oh, what now you said a FICA tree.
59
I said, Oh, what now?
60
Right. Are we?
61
Yeah.
62
I mean, what are we talking about?
63
Like a credit score here?
64
FICO credit score.
65
It's ficus, F -I -C -U -S.
66
It's funny.
67
They probably maybe aren't that common in Denver.
68
They do really well in heat and the desert.
69
So it makes sense.
70
Yeah.
71
But they're a beautiful tree, a ficus tree.
72
But yeah, this is a great expression.
73
If someone says a word you're not familiar with in American English, we'll often say this, a what now?
74
Yes.
75
Yeah.
76
And when I hear this, what is, when you hear it, what's the connotation?
77
Like, how does it feel to you?
78
I mean, it feels natural to me.
79
What else?
80
It does.
81
It feels natural and fun, right? right?
82
If you'd be like, yeah, what now?
83
It's playful.
84
It's friendly.
85
It's fun.
86
It feels a little folksy to me, a little tradition, kind of, um, a little old school in a way,
87
like a little bit, you know what I mean?
88
But I still hear it.
89
I still use it.
90
I think when I heard it recently, someone said Pilates reformer.
91
And then the other person was like, Oh, what now?
92
Because they had never heard of those machines.
93
Yeah.
94
Yeah, for sure.
95
So we're going to show you guys exactly how to do this.
96
Um, these are, this would be in the list of the top 25 most natural episodes for sure.
97
Things you can add to your English.
98
They'll make you very natural.
99
Okay.
100
Yeah.
101
So we use this when, if we didn't hear or understand a word correctly, or if we're unfamiliar with it,
102
someone refers to something that we've never heard before.
103
This is such a fun thing to do to say a what now.
104
So let's do a couple of mini role plays.
105
Um, sorry.
106
I bought a new bidet yesterday.
107
a what now so maybe i haven't traveled
108
and i haven't seen you know in europe they often have bidets next to a toilet right we don't do
109
that in the like we don't have
110
that in american in the u .s really do we not really yeah
111
i do i love a bidet i have one on all of my toilets
112
because you can now buy like a separate seat that is a bidet like to convert your toilet into a bidet
113
and I think ever since living in Europe, right?
114
I'm a huge fan of a bidet.
115
Love that.
116
But yeah, in the States, some people wouldn't even be familiar with that.
117
Or I feel like we also do this to more express that we're like surprised someone would buy that, right?
118
If I'm like, I'm getting a bidet, you're like, a what now?
119
And really you mean like, why would you do that?
120
So you're saying it's not just, I don't understand the word.
121
It's, I don't get why you're doing that.
122
I don't get why you're making that purchase right?
123
We use this a few different ways.
124
So someone could mean like, what are you talking about?
125
I've never heard that before.
126
Or it could be like, what are you talking about?
127
Like, why would you do that?
128
Yeah.
129
And this next one's really good because silent discos are something I had not heard of until, um, we were touring wedding venues.
130
So let's, let's go and let's do this little role play first.
131
We're going to a silent disco tonight.
132
a what now yeah perfect because if you haven't heard of
133
that instead of saying what's
134
that this is more fun to say a what now yeah we were looking at wedding venues
135
and there was one venue down by a river
136
but of course there are noise ordinances right for the neighborhood
137
and they were kind of promoting the silent disco as something really cool
138
and a great differentiator for this space like what why it seems weird
139
i mean people like it i guess it definitely looks very strange have you ever participated in a silent disco
140
and it wasn't that long ago it was at a wedding just like you were saying in cancun
141
and it was brilliant because they gave everyone the headset
142
and then there were like four different djs like four different options it was like hip -hop
143
or um latin music or like everything or more edm like electronic music
144
so you could choose but that it made it strange because everyone's like dancing to a different everyone's dancing differently
145
but it was really fun and then you take off the headphone
146
and the headphones and there's no music at all
147
and you just see everyone dancing it looks kind of crazy it's
148
so odd right so i can understand these are good examples of
149
when you might say a what now
150
if maybe you it's new it's kind of new
151
this concept of a silent disco at least in the u .s i think um okay
152
so and then next we often use this just to express surprise right
153
if i said like we got a burmese python like you've heard of a Burmese python, you might be like, what now?
154
Why?
155
Yeah, no, I've heard about the infestation in Florida of Burmese pythons.
156
They're everywhere.
157
Yes.
158
I think there's like a reward being offered if people catch them, right?
159
Yeah.
160
That's what I've heard.
161
Yeah.
162
Crazy.
163
So these are all great examples of not just not understanding the word or the concept or the trend, but also sort of saying,
164
why are you doing that?
165
Why are you keeping a Burmese python in your home?
166
Yes.
167
It's a really fun way to do that.
168
But we also want to share a few other related phrases.
169
This is really interesting.
170
When we say what now, there are so many possible meanings.
171
So that's just one of them.
172
When we say a what now, when someone has said like a noun, they've said a thing and we want to say,
173
wait, what are you talking about?
174
Then we'll say a what now.
175
And before we go any further with this, I think we should ask the question that a lot of our listeners are going to say,
176
why are we adding now to all these phrases?
177
like what is that what just in that what does
178
that mean or what does
179
that do here yeah this is really interesting it's really unnecessary here
180
so why because for this you could just say what why did you get
181
that right exactly so adding now it's really colloquial it's really just like part of
182
and this could be pretty regional how often
183
you hear these expressions could be pretty specific to the united states i actually would be really curious
184
if this is common in the uk or in australia because it's just a feature of speech that's unnecessary.
185
It's added just sort of almost as slang, as fun.
186
It doesn't change the meaning at all to add the now.
187
I think it makes it a little bit more friendly.
188
It makes it a little bit more, I'm with you right now in this conversation and I want to understand it.
189
I also would probably argue that this is used, I don't have the data on this.
190
Don't quote me.
191
This is not research -based this is my vibe my feeling
192
i think this is probably used more in like suburban rural places than urban places i think
193
because it feels a little like i like i said before kind of folksy
194
it feels i mean maybe you could disagree aubrey if you think
195
but it just feels more like i'm here i have the time
196
i want to understand a what now yeah right yeah no
197
i think you're not wrong i think in urban areas
198
sometimes we do speak a little more formally right my instead might say fast you know what are you referring to?
199
But this is like, it's informal, it's casual, which often is more common in rural areas.
200
I think so.
201
There's a sense of like, I'm here with you.
202
I want to understand when you use this now.
203
It's interesting.
204
It is.
205
It is interesting.
206
So that's pretty specific to this chunk of what now, because these other phrases, when we just say what now,
207
there's a few different meanings and it's different.
208
So let's talk about the second one.
209
And we usually say wait first.
210
Wait, what now?
211
To signal surprise or confusion.
212
It actually means like, hold on, I need you to repeat or explain that.
213
So let's show a quick mini role play to hear how that would sound.
214
Okay.
215
I'm thinking about moving to Alaska.
216
Wait, what now?
217
Right.
218
So it's because there's no noun, right?
219
It wasn't, you know, you wouldn't say, uh, what now?
220
But we will say like, what now?
221
Meaning like, wait, what?
222
Explain it to me.
223
Yeah.
224
It's kind of saying like, slow down, let me understand this.
225
And maybe that's something that's less likely to be said in a rural area because things,
226
I'm sorry, in an urban area because things keep moving fast.
227
Maybe.
228
It's just kind of a phrase that means like, I need more details.
229
Yeah.
230
Yeah.
231
I need more details.
232
Right.
233
Or if I say, she said she's getting married next month.
234
wait, what now?
235
Yeah.
236
And that one again, this is similar to a what now ones really, if you've said like a noun or a subject,
237
and then this one's more about a situation or a scenario because you can't say, uh, what now meaning like,
238
what thing are you talking about in general?
239
Like what now meaning what are, what give me more details.
240
Yeah.
241
The grammar kind of has to work there.
242
And just as a bonus here, another alternative to this, and this is not what we're talking about today, we're focusing on the what now today,
243
but just saying, wait, what?
244
Right.
245
Wait, what?
246
You might hear that more in an urban area.
247
Yeah.
248
Good point.
249
Cause the now is extra.
250
It's unnecessary.
251
It kind of makes it more informal and it's not necessary.
252
So you could definitely just say, wait, what?
253
Wait, what?
254
Also very common, right?
255
And then just what now alone by itself?
256
Yes.
257
Which means what are we supposed to do next in this?
258
There's a few meanings of this, right?
259
So for example, we've finished everything on the list.
260
What now?
261
And you can hear the intonation is very different, right?
262
It's different.
263
And I did it wrong the first time, but when I first introduced it just now, I did the intonation wrong.
264
What now?
265
Right.
266
It's different from what now?
267
Right.
268
There's no surprise here.
269
Those other, the first two we shared are signaling surprise or confusion.
270
This means like what's next.
271
Right.
272
What's next.
273
Exactly.
274
So let's do a role play.
275
Okay.
276
Oh, the restaurant's closed.
277
okay uh what now right it just means like okay
278
then where do we go right it's just like what's the plan
279
so this is more straightforward but crazy
280
that these same two words what now all these different meanings
281
and there's still another one
282
and i just want to add a bonus to this one too you could also reverse those words
283
and say okay now what good point now what
284
but i don't want to go off in too many different directions guys we'll cover that another day Okay.
285
Good point.
286
So it means the same thing.
287
Yeah.
288
Next one, Aubrey, what's the second meaning then?
289
Okay.
290
So this one's interesting.
291
Sometimes we say what now to express frustration and it means like what else can go wrong?
292
Right.
293
So for example, if I say, uh, everything's been going wrong today, but I have more bad news.
294
What might you say, Lindsay?
295
Oh, what now?
296
Exactly.
297
Right.
298
And they'll say the air conditioning isn't working.
299
Right.
300
So that's again, a totally different intonation, but the exact same words.
301
And you can feel that frustration in my voice.
302
You really, with these differentiations here, you really need to make it clear.
303
What is the situation, right?
304
We need to react to the situation appropriately with the right intonation, guys.
305
Yes, exactly.
306
If you just have the words, it'd be crazy to be like, oh, sorry, I have more bad news.
307
And then you do like a what now?
308
All friendly.
309
It just doesn't work.
310
Exactly.
311
Intonation is vital.
312
Hey, quick question.
313
Do you want to feel more confident when you speak English?
314
If so, we made a free guide for you.
315
It'll help you avoid those common mistakes and start speaking more naturally in real conversations.

And if this is helpful for you, make sure that you like and subscribe.
318
We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.
319
Okay.
320
Now we have another variation, the last one for today,
321
guys, because we're giving you a lot of good content today that you can apply right away.
322
The fifth phrase is what?
323
Is you did what now?
324
And this is interesting.
325
It expresses, you know, surprise or disbelief and usually mild judgment.
326
Yeah.
327
So this is more similar to the first couple of the first couple of ones.
328
Wait, what now?
329
The similar theme, right?
330
Something's kind of coming out of nowhere, right?
331
It's not similar to now what, right?
332
Right.
333
That's true right?
334
Instead of it being like about a specific noun
335
or a scenario now that's about someone's action or choice where we would say you did what now?
336
But the difference, I feel like those other two can be fun and friendly.
337
This one usually is always going to imply some kind of judgment.
338
Like you think whatever they've done is a bad idea.
339
And how is it different if,
340
well, let's go through the examples and we'll talk about how it would feel if you just took off the now, right?
341
So here we go.
342
I accidentally sent the email to the entire company.
343
You did what now?
344
Or I bought a motorcycle yesterday.
345
You did what now?
346
All right.
347
So what would, how would it feel different if I just said you did what?
348
Yeah, that's really interesting because you definitely could just say, wait, what, or you did what and drop the now.
349
And it is, I think the same as these others, it is making it a little more informal,
350
a little more casual to add the now yeah it's almost showing
351
that you have a little more patience um makes it a little more light -hearted right yeah yeah like
352
that you're the manager of that company
353
and the in someone one of your employees comes to you said you did this thing, right?
354
Sent this email to the entire company.
355
You're trying to say, I'm like, my head's going to explode right now.
356
Right.
357
Like, what were you thinking?
358
But also I'm trying not to be too harsh.
359
You're trying not to be too harsh.
360
And with the way we say it, right?
361
If I were to say this, I might even say it sort of like laughing, like you did what now?
362
Right.
363
Yeah.
364
Cause it's going to create a major problem, but you're trying to show, okay, you have a little patience.
365
You're being civil, remaining civil.
366
Right.
367
Everything's going to be Okay.
368
Yeah, exactly.
369
Okay.
370
In this role play then, we are friends catching up.
371
Yeah.
372
Okay.
373
Let's use some of these.
374
Okay.
375
Hey, I ran into Jake yesterday.
376
He told me he's moving to Spain next month.
377
Wait, what now?
378
Spain?
379
I thought he was moving to Chicago.
380
I know.
381
Apparently he changed his mind.
382
Wow.
383
So what now?
384
Is he selling his house?
385
Yep.
386
And apparently he's taking his dog with him oh what now i didn't even know
387
he had a dog oh yeah i guess
388
he got a dog a few months ago honestly at this point i'm not surprised by anything
389
that would be crazy you find out a friend is moving
390
and has a dog you're like i thought i knew him no
391
it's not did i know this person right i guess
392
i don't know this we're not as good friends as i thought finding out all these things
393
so we have some good examples of how we use this
394
so first again i said i ran into jake he told me he's moving to Spain.
395
And you said, Aubrey, wait, what now?
396
And I could have just said, what now?
397
Yeah.
398
It's just the way we express surprise, but in a very informal, casual way.
399
And you're surprised because you had probably talked to him and he said he was moving to Chicago and now it's Spain.
400
So that's the surprise.
401
Now, if this is someone who's likely to move abroad and he just booked his flight, you might not say, right.
402
You're not surprised because you expected them to do that.
403
And this is kind of for like big surprises.
404
That's when it comes out of us like we're shocked
405
and we'll say one of these wait what now right exactly
406
and then I said I know apparently he changed his mind
407
and you said wow
408
so what now totally different right this means what's happening what will happen next right
409
so what's his plan yeah I'll be like what now he's gonna sell his house
410
or what yeah what's the next step right and then you said yeah apparently he's taking his dog with him.
411
And this is when I would say, Oh, what now?
412
Cause there's the now the dog, right.
413
That I'm referring to when I say, Oh, what now?
414
Yeah.
415
I didn't know he had a dog.
416
Right.
417
All these surprises.
418
Yes.
419
Okay.
420
This is great guys.
421
You could implement this.
422
I mean, a really good way as a connection skill.
423
I love the fact that adding now in many cases does show, I think we, we came up with it here, Aubrey, a sense of patience,
424
a sense of kind of a focusing seen as like, we're on the same level kind of, I'm here with you, right?
425
I'll listen to you, that kind of thing.
426
I agree.
427
It's bringing down that wall of formality we talk about sometimes, right?
428
Because you are, you're making your speech more informal and casual and friendly.
429
And like you said, like implying that you have the time you want to hear more.
430
Interesting.
431
Yes, exactly.
432
So it's really a connection skill.
433
Start to listen for this first, then you'll hear it and you can start to throw it into your speech, guys.
434
Go over to 2708 on this show.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
