38
All right, let's get started with the conversation.
39
You are going to meet Lindsay and Dani, my wonderful neighbors, and immerse yourself in our real life conversation.
40
Let's watch.
41
Hi everyone!
42
I'm here with my lovely neighbors Lindsey and Dani.
43
And we're going to be talking about your guys' experience living in big city, New York.
44
growing up in different places and now living somewhat rurally in the country, comparing those experiences.
45
I think my students will have a lot to say about this because everyone lives all over the world.
46
Let's start at the very beginning.
47
Can you tell me where did you grow up?
48
Like what was it like where you grew up?
49
I don't know who wants to start but I'll go first.
50
I grew up in Manhattan in New York and that was all I ever knew.
51
So very normal for me
52
but as I've learned later on it's very different than a lot of people I know where they grew up but
53
you know, I grew up living in an apartment building.
54
So I had shared an apartment with my family.
55
And I was on the floor of my apartment had maybe like 30 other people.
56
I was on the 10th floor of a 16th floor apartment building.
57
Did you have an elevator?
58
I did have an elevator.
59
Okay.
60
Yeah.
61
I know a lot of New York apartments are like walk up.
62
No, that would be that would be a lot to go 10 Manhattan,
63
which is kind of a residential neighborhood.
64
There was a park pretty close by along the East River.
65
So there was a long promenade that we would walk on.
66
And I also went to Central Park a lot, which is kind of the main big park in Manhattan.
67
So that was kind of my, you know, outdoor space.
68
Yeah, which I imagine is really different from growing up elsewhere.
69
Yeah, no yard.
70
Yeah.
71
Nothing like that.
72
So if you wanted to go outside, did that to go alone to the park.
73
Good question.
74
Independence that happens.
75
So I think when you live in the city, you get more freedom earlier because you don't have to drive.
76
So, you know, when we're very young, yes, parents would have to like bring us places.
77
But, you know, I think by like middle school time, like, you know, 10 years old, we're going with friends, walking around the city,
78
going to parks, going to like restaurants and stuff like that.
79
I would have been very envious of that as a middle schooler.
80
So tell me, Danny, I know you didn't grow up in New York.
81
Where did you grow up and like what was that environment kind of like? to mine.
82
I grew up, um, in Ohio, uh, suburb of Cleveland, uh, called Beachwood.
83
And it was, um, the classic suburb where all of the houses were very similar sizes.
84
We all had a yard, front and a backyard, sidewalks and nice like evenly sized like blocks.
85
Okay.
86
And then we had to drive everywhere.
87
So anything you could walk to?
88
There was a gas station.
89
Okay, fine.
90
And that was about it.
91
Okay.
92
You can walk to your school, I think, right?
93
the only school that I could walk to was the, it was called Hilltop and it was like, third through sixth grade.
94
Okay.
95
And so once I was like old enough, like fifth or sixth grade, I would walk, but we had different schools for
96
um that for um after sixth grade like middle school
97
and then a different school for high school
98
and those were all too far very much like a driving culture very much
99
which i think is more standard in the us yeah than
100
your experience yeah at what age do kids just ride the
101
subway by themselves it kind of varies um i didn't start
102
going up by myself until high school okay um i also
103
didn't really need to go by myself until high school
104
but yeah then i would like ride the subway to school with friends okay
105
and maybe that's different now too probably a little different
106
there's also like I went to high school in a completely different borough than where I was living
107
so I went to school in the Bronx which required the subway okay
108
so that's a long commute yeah how long did
109
that take you an hour as a high school as a high schooler yeah
110
but what do you do as a high schooler in the
111
subway to like entertain yourself you're usually traveling with a group of friends oh that's fun
112
so that's pretty fun um but you know like I don't know I remember doing
113
stuff because you have like an hour to kill.
114
Yeah.
115
I mean, that sounds kind of nice.
116
Like, I think living in the city, you miss nature, but as a teenager, that independence is like the thing that everybody wants.
117
Yes.
118
And maybe it's more...
119
possible.
120
Yeah.
121
Like a little adult.
122
Oh, for sure. For sure.
123
Definitely.
124
So I'm curious for you guys, Now you live here in Asheville.
125
When did you first start to think about moving or leaving the city?
126
Because you guys met in New York.
127
Yes.
128
And I guess that we could back up.
129
At what point did you move to New York?
130
So I moved after college for a job.
131
And then, How long was I there?
132
A couple of years before I met you.
133
Um, And coming from Ohio to New York, like, I was, I wouldn't say overwhelmed,
134
but I knew that this wasn't like what I wanted for like forever.
135
Okay.
136
And so when we met, like, I was pretty like honest.
137
And I said, you know, like, I don't, I don't think that I see myself here forever.
138
I'd like to like move eventually.
139
Okay.
140
At the time, I was like, "New York forever !" But you were like, "I love Danny !" "It's okay, we'll figure it out !" Exactly, exactly.
141
He had to like slowly convince me.
142
Which I think we both...
143
had actually never really hiked before meeting each other and we kind of got into nature together.
144
So we started like vacationing and like hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,
145
oh, New York City has none of this to offer.
146
We took a lot of road trips to like Maine and there's like, you know, national parks and things like that.
147
Yeah.
148
That was how we were vacationing.
149
You're sneaky, like I'm going to show Lindsay other places and maybe she'll want to move.
150
It worked out.
151
Well, I got to say, I think like more so than me, Lindsay really loved the outdoors and like just the fresh air.
152
So it wasn't hard to convince her.
153
Yeah.
154
It's just like within you somewhere.
155
Yes, it was there.
156
It was there.
157
Great work immersing yourself in that clip of a real -life conversation with three native English speakers.
158
It's kind of easy to just understand my voice alone during these lessons, but when you add one extra person, and then another extra person,
159
this can really make it a little more difficult to understand.
160
So with this conversation breakdown method,
161
it will be much easier to understand and you will be amazed at how your listening skills and your speaking skills improve.
162
So let's go to the second part of today's lesson, which is immersing yourself by learning three key vocabulary phrases.
163
words in your daily life, and these words were used in the conversation you just saw.
164
Let's watch.
165
Are you ready to get started?
166
I'm ready.
167
All right.
168
Let's get started with the first phrase.
169
To have an hour or to have time to kill.
170
And this doesn't mean you're killing anything.
171
It just means that you have time that is not scheduled.
172
It is time that you have free to do anything that you want.
173
Although sometimes you might be kind of like stuck.
174
So the example that comes to my mind is if you're in line somewhere
175
have somewhere that you are but you can't go and do something so you just have time to kill.
176
So if you're in the airport and you're waiting for the airplane, you might say, I have time to kill.
177
I'll read this book or I've got an hour to kill.
178
So I'll call my mom, for example.
179
So this is time that you don't have something specific to do.
180
You just have to wait or you have a gap between some kind of scheduled event.
181
You might say I have time to kill.
182
Yeah, I like that distinction that you're kind of forced to have free time because you're waiting for something, but it's not happening now.
183
So I have an hour to kill until this event.
184
I can't go off and do something else.
185
I have to just be a little bit careful about what I do during that free time.
186
And that's how it was used in the conversation.
187
Lindsay was talking about her commute to school on the subway, and she said it took an hour, which to me sounds like a long time to kill, to kill.
188
It's also a long time to go to school like that's a long commute.
189
In the rest of the US, if you said your school was an hour away, I know Americans are known for driving long distances,
190
but that's a long time to get to school every day.
191
But for her, she seemed kind of normal about it.
192
She just said, well, you know what?
193
I did my homework because I had an hour to kill.
194
Yeah, and you can actually use your hands in the subway.
195
That's nice.
196
Yeah, when you're driving, you can't do homework.
197
So she was saying that she adapted to that scenario.
198
She couldn't really do very much during that free time, but she could do homework and that doesn't sound that bad having a forced hour of doing homework.
199
Yeah.
200
Okay.
201
Not too bad.
202
I kind of want an hour to sit there and do nothing.
203
Yeah.
204
Yeah.
205
I guess that's what our kids do when you drive them to school.
206
Yeah.
207
They have 30 minutes to kill and you're forced to drive.
208
I drive Theo to work, well, to school and work for me every day.
209
And he seems to enjoy that ride.
210
And we just, we have time to kill.
211
We have 30 minutes to kill.
212
And so we listen to an audio book usually, sometimes he's coloring or writing back there.
213
He's always doing something.
214
I guarantee that.
215
Very active child.
216
All right, let's watch the original clip so
217
that you can see how an hour to kill and a time to kill was used.
218
Let's watch.
219
I don't know.
220
I remember doing homework on the subway and stuff because you had like an hour to kill.
221
Yeah.
222
I don't know.
223
I remember doing homework on the subway and stuff because you had like an hour to kill.
224
Yeah.
225
The third vocabulary phrase is to see myself or to see yourself.
226
And here we're not talking about looking in the mirror.
227
It's a little more figurative than that.
228
We're talking about imagining yourself in a certain place or time in the future.
229
So for example, in the conversation with Lindsay and Danny, when they met, Lindsay was a lifer in New York.
230
She had lived forever in New York and she had no plans of going anywhere else or moving anywhere else.
231
But Danny had come into New York and was living there.
232
And he said he was honest with her and just said, you know what, I don't see myself living here forever.
233
I would like to move at some point.
234
And that's really great.
235
That's a good beginning of a relationship, some honesty.
236
But he used that expression to see myself.
237
I don't imagine myself Living in New York, forever and i think that's a really common
238
and great way to use this yeah
239
so you can use it in the negative sense like
240
that like i can't see myself staying in new york forever but you can use it the other way too like
241
I can see myself moving to the mountains near Asheville.
242
Wouldn't that be nice for me personally?
243
I often use this in the negative.
244
For example, if there is a car I didn't want, like, let's say a Tesla Cybertruck,
245
I might say I can't see myself or I can't really see myself driving a Cybertruck.
246
I might look a little awkward in it.
247
Maybe everybody does.
248
I don't know.
249
But I I could see myself in a Tesla Model 3.
250
want to go the electric route, but most likely I'm going to drive a Honda Civic.
251
Okay, so we're going from absurd car to like slightly less absurd to very normal.
252
Exactly.
253
Actually, the reality is I can really only see myself driving a minivan for the rest of my life.
254
Minivan for life.
255
How about you?
256
What vehicle do you see yourself in?
257
10 years from now?
258
Well, I think I can see myself driving the same cars
259
that we have now because I hate shopping for cars and doing research, which usually that's your job.
260
and our guy and we have a toyota
261
and a toyota car lasts forever so that's the dream hopefully
262
so i can see myself driving the same car i think the van i hope
263
so yeah i mean in 10 years our kids Matilda is going to be 11 years old.
264
That's still a child.
265
We're still going to be hauling around lots of stuff and kids, and it's going to be kid life still.
266
I can personally see myself updating the car a little bit.
267
OK.
268
Yeah.
269
I can see some kind of dragster out there.
270
Well, maybe that's something we can talk about in the future.
271
Well, let's watch the original clip so that you can see how to see yourself was used in the conversation.
272
Let's watch.
273
And so when we met, like I was pretty like honest and I said, you know, like, I don't I don't think that I see myself here forever.
274
I'd like to like move eventually.
275
Okay.
276
And so when we met, like I was pretty like honest and I said, you know, like, I don't I don't think that I see myself here forever.
277
I'd like to like move eventually.
278
Okay.
279
The next expression is to have something to offer, and you can use this in both the positive or the negative way.
280
For example, you can say he has a lot to offer, which is kind of generally saying that this person can help you in some way.
281
So if you're hiring somebody, you might say.
282
oh yeah, I think Dan has a lot to offer here.
283
So you're not really saying specifically what he or she could do, but you're saying that they can bring something to the table that would,
284
there's another expression, something to the table that will help you in some way, but you can also use it in the negative way.
285
So yeah, Dan over there, he's got nothing to offer us.
286
He's not going to help.
287
He's actually going to hinder us a lot.
288
Keep him away from this company.
289
Thank you very much. to extreme.
290
Well, we won't say Dan, we'll say Sam.
291
Okay, Sam.
292
Yeah, we're definitely talking about Sam.
293
Sam.
294
So in the conversation with Lindsay and Danny, they used this in the negative sense.
295
They were talking about all the things that they liked that were not in New York.
296
They like hiking, being outdoors.
297
And they realized that New York City had none of those things.
298
They've already named those things.
299
New York City had none of those things to offer.
300
So the phrase for all of these variations is exactly the same.
301
We're just swapping out one word to have none of this to offer, to have nothing to offer, to have something to offer, or to have a lot to offer.
302
And this is a great phrase you can use in an interview.
303
So Dan uses this in a negative way.
304
Don't hire him.
305
He has nothing to offer.
306
But if you want to get hired, you could go to the interview and in that interview process, to offer this company.
307
You're not saying, here's my specific skills yet.
308
He probably should say that at some point.
309
But when you say, "I have a lot to offer," you're really saying, I have a lot of skills that I can use to help this company.
310
But we can also use that in daily life in those other phrases as well that have nothing to offer.
311
I hope that I have something to offer you with this course.
312
Yeah, I believe that the Fearless Fluency Club has a lot to offer.
313
Oh, yeah, I hope so too.
314
Yeah, maybe you were taking other English courses in the past, and you realized that now they have nothing to offer you because you have learned everything that they could teach you.
315
And now when you studied Vanessa's lessons, you realized, oh, this has something to offer me.
316
This has a lot to offer me.
317
I hope that that's All right, let's watch the original clip from the conversation so that you can see how none of this to offer was used.
318
Let's watch.
319
So we started like vacationing and like, hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,
320
oh, New York City has none of this to offer.
321
So we started like vacationing and like, hiking and kind of seeing the outside world a little bit more and realizing like,
322
oh, New York City has none of this to offer.
323
Great work learning those three daily life English phrases that you heard in the real conversation with Lindsay and Dani.
324
Thank you so much to Lindsay and Dani for letting me share this conversation with you.
325

Phát âm cần chú ý

Người nói dùng 87 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ you're, don't, we're. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.

  • Âm “sh” và “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, variation /ˌvɛəɹiˈeɪʃn̩/, distinction /dɪˈstɪŋkʃən/
  • Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, elevator /ˈɛləˌveɪtɚ/, figurative /ˈfɪɡəɹətɪv/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

  • Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: immerse /ɪˈmɜɹs/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/, inbox /ˈɪnbɑks/, adapt /əˈdæpt/
  • Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, dragster /ˈdɹæɡstɚ/, backyard /bækˈjɑːd/, adapt /əˈdæpt/
  • Phụ âm cuối — bật rõ âm cuối của từ: immerse /ɪˈmɜɹs/, homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, hike /haɪk/, commute /kəˈmjuːt/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/

Cách luyện với video này

  1. Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
  2. Bắt đầu ở tốc độ 0,75×, nói đuổi từng câu, rồi quay lại tốc độ bình thường khi đã quen.
  3. Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như vocabulary, subway, immerse.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
