How well do you know English?
2
Well, let's find out with five tricky adjectives that may not mean what you think.
3
I'm Nick from Coffee Break English, and these words can be especially tricky because they look similar to words in other languages.
4
But their meanings in English may be very different.
5
Keep track of your score out of five, and let's see how many can trick you.
6
Now you'll have three seconds to answer each question.
7
Let's go.
8
Here is question one.
9
The Coffee Break English course, Practical English for Real Life, gives you a comprehensive introduction to B1 English.
10
Now, which sentence describes the course?
11
The course is complete, The language is understandable or the teachers are kind.
12
Well, the answer is complete.
13
A. Comprehensive means covering everything or almost everything that you need.
14
And there are actually two traps here.
15
Don't confuse comprehensive with comprehensible, which means possible to understand.
16
And French comprehensive and Spanish and Italian comprensivo can describe a person who is understanding.
17
So a comprehensive English course is an English course which provides lots of information.
18
Okay now on to number two.
19
My son is very brave.
20
Does that mean a he always tells the truth, B.
21
He is always well behaved in school and he's never in trouble. Or C.
22
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
23
Well, this time the answer is C.
24
He isn't afraid to stand up in front of the class.
25
Now, German speakers, did you catch that one?
26
In modern German, brav commonly means good or well behaved,
27
especially when we're talking about children or animals.
28
And other languages have a similar word.
29
But brave in English is about having courage.
30
A well -behaved child isn't necessarily a brave child.
31
Okay, this next one catches a lot of learners out.
32
Listen carefully.
33
After months of discussion, their eventual decision was to move abroad.
34
Now, the eventual decision was A.
35
A possible decision, B.
36
A temporary decision, or C.
37
A final decision.
38
Hmm.
39
Well, the answer is C.
40
Eventual refers to the final decision.
41
What happens in the end?
42
Often after some time or some deliberation.
43
Now this is another tricky one because French eventuelle,
44
German eventuelle and Italian eventuelle can refer to something possible or potential.
45
Now let me know if my pronunciation is a bit off with those languages.
46
I'm not a fluent speaker in all of them.
47
Now in English, eventual doesn't mean possible.
48
Think eventual is the final result.
49
Now, two questions left.
50
I tell you, the film was terrific. Was the film A.
51
Really scary, B.
52
Amazing or C.
53
Really strange?
54
Well, this time the answer is B.
55
Amazing.
56
In everyday English, if something is terrific, it's very good. But...
57
This word can seem rather alarming if you speak another language.
58
Italian terrificante, French terrifying and Spanish terrorifico are connected with things that are terrifying or frightening in.
59
So a terrifying holiday?
60
Well that's probably not good.
61
But a terrific holiday?
62
That is excellent.
63
Okay final question.
64
I have a sensitive friend.
65
Which idea describes him?
66
Is it A.
67
He makes practical decisions.
68
B. He is easily affected or upset. Or C.
69
He can predict the future.
70
Well, the answer is B.
71
A sensitive person is easily affected by things emotionally or physically.
72
And be careful not to confuse sensitive with sensible.
73
Check out the other half of this quiz to find out the difference between those two words.
74
And how did you do in this quiz?
75
Let us know your score out of five in the comments.
76
And tell us which of these adjectives surprised you the most?
77
Remember, when an English word looks very similar to a word you already know,
78
don't automatically assume the meaning is the same.
79
Now the next quiz is on your screen now.
80
Watch it for another 5 tricky adjectives.
81
Thanks for watching and until next time, happy coffee breaking.

Bu videodaki dil bilgisi

| Edilgen yapı be + fiilin üçüncü hâli — kimin yaptığı değil, ne olduğu önemli | are connected · is easily affected |
| İlgi cümlecikleri who / which + cümle — bir kişi ya da şey hakkında ek bilgi | comprehensible, which means · person who is |

| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — şu anda ya da bu sıralar olan bir şey | is understanding · we're talking |
Dikkat edilecek telaffuzlar

Türkçe konuşanların zorlandığı sesler:
- Kelime başındaki ünsüz kümesi — araya ünlü eklemeyin: tricky /ˈtɹɪk.i/, brave /bɹeɪv/, quiz /kwɪz/, practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, trick /ˈtɹɪk/
- /æ/ — “e”den daha açık: practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, trap /tɹæp/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/
Bu videoyla nasıl çalışılır
- Videonun tamamını konuşmadan bir kez dinleyin ve bilmediğiniz kelimeleri not edin.
- Normal hızda cümle cümle tekrar edin; ritminiz konuşmacıyla aynı olana kadar her cümleyi yineleyin.
- Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; comprehensive, tricky, sensitive gibi kelimelere özellikle dikkat edin.
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.
