1
I'm sure you relish learning new vocabulary.
2
And in today's lesson, I want to teach you some advanced C2 verbs.
3
And because I just mentioned it,
4
let's begin with the verb to relish.
5
What this means is to like or enjoy something.
6
And really, you're just adding a bit of emphasis.
7
So as I just said,
8
I'm sure you relish learning new vocabulary.
9
You enjoy it and you know that you're enjoying it.
10
And you can follow this verb with either a gerund or a noun.
11
So to give you a couple of examples,
12
with gerunds, I could say,
13
I relish traveling to exotic locations.
14
Or I relish eating ice cream on a hot summer day.
15
And then if you're going to follow it with a noun,
16
there are some common collocations,
17
and these are words that are frequently used together.
18
So you may relish the thought,
19
prospect, or idea of doing something,
20
or you may relish the chance or the opportunity to do something,
21
and those are some useful collocations.
22
When it comes to pronouncing the verb, it has two syllables.
23
The stress is on that first syllable, relish she won't survive.
24
I don't relish hurting anyone, Stephen.
25
But she's not a child.
26
Well, Victoria relishes her status as Queen Bee, right?
27
Pathologically.
28
And if you are someone who relishes learning new vocabulary,
29

30
That way I can become your teacher.
31
My name is Wes.
32
The channel is Interactive English.
33
It's all about trying to help you reach your fluency goals.
34
And as we go through the lesson and I talk to you about these different advanced verbs,
35
I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about the pronunciation as well
36
because I tried to choose words that may be a little tricky to pronounce like this next verb, coincide.
37
So this verb has two meanings.
38
The first one is to happen at or near the same time.
39
And often you're gonna follow the verb with the preposition with.
40
So you you would say that something coincides with something else.
41
And you're not really talking about everyday activities like going to the coffee shop coincides with this.
42
You're talking about events that may not occur regularly.
43
So I could say, look,
44
I'm sorry, I can't go to your birthday party because it coincides with a business trip that I have to take.
45
It's happening at the same time.
46
It also means to be the same or similar.
47
So I could say, if our schedules coincide,
48
then we can plan to travel together.
49
We'll take the train, if our schedules coincide, and they're the same.
50
For pronunciation, the verb has three syllables.
51
The stress is on that third syllable, coincide.
52
And just keep in mind the C-O-I-N,
53
it's not pronounced as coin.
54
Two different syllables, co-in, coincide, to coincide with something.
55
And then we have the verb squander.
56
I like this verb even though it has a negative connotation
57
because it means to waste money or supplies or to waste opportunities by not taking advantage of them.
58
So in the United States,
59
which is where I am from,
60
I could say many people feel that the government squanders taxpayer money and they just waste that money.
61
You may also hear people use this in a statement and say,
62
hey, don't squander this opportunity.
63
That is a collocation, to squander an opportunity.
64
For pronunciation, the verb has two syllables.
65
The stress is on that first syllable, squander.
66
And keep in mind that S-Q-U-A has that squaw sound, to squander something.
67
Screw you, Dean.
68
You squandered your gift.
69
Guys!
70
Squandered my gift.
71
Made 68 albums.
72
Did I want to be made manager?
73
Sure.
74
A great opportunity squandered?
75
Absolutely.
76
A crushing blow?
77
Yes.
78
Right now, I want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of today's lesson,
79
which is ELSA Speak.
80
And there are many learners who relish using ELSA Speak to fine tune their pronunciation.
81
So if you are unfamiliar with it,
82
then let me show you how it works.
83
You just download the app,
84
create an account, and there's so much that you can do.
85
Practice daily lessons, improve pronunciation.
86
Let's say that we want to study by topic,
87
and there are a variety of different topics to choose from.
88
So, I would like to practice small talk.
89
And as you can see,
90
there are many different lessons to help you practice and improve.
91
But I think the best part of the app is to practice words and phrases that you want to learn.
92
So, let's say that we put in the phrase, don't squander this opportunity.
93
And then you can listen to it.
94
And then practice.
95
Don't squander this opportunity.
96
And let me show you what it looks like if a mistake is made and I mispronounce that verb.
97
Don't squander this opportunity.
98
As you can see, you get instant feedback,
99
which then allows you to try to make adjustments.
100
And right now, when you click on the link below and download the ELSA Speak app,
101
you can get seven days of the pro membership for free
102
but you can also use my discount to get 85 off a lifetime membership
103
or 40 off a one-year membership as i said don't squander this opportunity check out the links
104
and discounts in the description if you'd like to practice
105
and improve your pronunciation
106
and before you know it you'll sound just like a native speaker now let's get back to our advanced C2 verbs,
107
and you may be wondering,
108
C2, what does that mean?
109
Well, this is just Cambridge's highest level and really means that you are a proficient speaker of English.
110
And the next C2 verb that I have for you is commemorate.
111
And this means to remember officially and give respect to a great person or event,
112
especially by some public ceremony or by making a statue or a special building. And
113
I thought that I would show you some different news headlines
114
so that you can see how this verb is used in context.
115
Events to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. or Tulane to host campus celebration to commemorate historic Cotton Bowl win.
116
That's talking about American football.
117
Museum to commemorate 70th anniversary of 1953 floods.
118
Democrats commemorate January 6 attack with tears and silence at U.S.
119
Capitol.
120
So these are just some random news headlines that I found on the day that I created this lesson,
121
and it's just using the verb in context.
122
So hopefully that gives you a better understanding.
123
When pronouncing this verb, it has four syllables.
124
The stress is on that second syllable.
125
Commemorate.
126
Commemorate.
127
And just keep in mind that first and third syllable have that schwa sound,
128
that unstressed vowel sound, which sounds like a commemorate.
129
Commemorate.
130
And the next verb.
131
That's your hint.
132
What verb is that?
133
And the verb that I'm talking about is gasp.
134
And it has two different meanings,
135
and it's really a difference between talking about,
136
well, one breath or many breaths.
137
So the first meaning is to take a short,
138
quick breath through the mouth because of shock, pain, or surprise.
139
It's just that one breath.
140
Gasp!
141
And people may use this as an interjection and saying something surprising like,
142
and he never returned home and saw his family again.
143
Gasp.
144
Or it's used in storytelling with those dialogue tags to describe speaking.
145
Help me, he gasped.
146
It also means to breathe loudly and with difficulty,
147
really trying to get more air.
148
And in this case, it's several breaths and often people may end up using it in the continuous tense, gasping.
149
I could say that the wave knocked me over and I was gasping for air.
150
That is a common collocation with this verb to say that someone is gasping for air.
151
When it comes to pronunciation,
152
I think the most challenging thing about this verb would be saying it in the past tense.
153
Gasp, it's a regular verb,
154
so in the past it's going to end with ed.
155
And because that final sound is voiceless,
156
the ED is going to take on a sound.
157
So we have the sound followed by the sound which can be a little difficult.
158
It's going to sound like gasped, gasped.
159
Give it a try.
160
Excellent.
161
The next verb is intervene.
162
And this means to intentionally become involved in a in order to improve it or just prevent it from getting worse.
163
So if there is an argument or a fight, someone may intervene.
164
I could say that the referee intervened to stop the fight.
165
They just did not want it to get worse.
166
I could also say the Federal Reserve has intervened in financial markets in order to stop inflation.
167
And they're getting involved in the situation to try to improve it.
168
Now, for pronunciation, the verb has three syllables.
169
The stress is on that third syllable, intervene.
170
One thing I want to point out when it comes to the American accent,
171
because I'm from the United States,
172
is when the T follows an N sound,
173
especially in unstressed syllables, it may elide and people may drop it.
174
So instead of intervene, you may hear someone say intervene.
175
So just keep that in mind.
176
In the United States, you may hear both pronunciations, one with the T.
177
Intervene, go ahead, intervene all you want.
178
I'm just afraid you might be interfering while we're intervening.
179
And one without.
180
I want to say something terrible to someone I love.
181
I curse my tongue.
182
I'm going to intervene here.
183
And then there's to label.
184
This refers to a word or phrase that's used to describe the characteristics or qualities of a person,
185
event, or thing and really in a way that's unfair.
186
So you may label someone as something.
187
That is a common phrase,
188
to label someone as something.
189
In my lifetime, I have been labeled as a troublemaker at school when I was younger.
190
I've also been labeled as a slacker,
191
which is a noun that means someone who does not work very hard.
192
And of course, I would disagree with this,
193
but it happens if we get the wrong impression of someone or something and we may label them as this thing,
194
which is usually negative.
195
Now, for pronunciation, the word has two syllables.
196
The stress is on that first syllable, label.
197
The other thing I'd like to point out is the second syllable,
198
it ends with that dark L,
199
which is that all sound.
200
And then if we're following it with the word as,
201
I told you that's a common phrase,
202
well then we can link that dark L with the beginning vowel sound in as.
203
Label as.
204
Label as.
205
They imposed struggle and hardship on us.
206
They labeled us as criminals for pushing back.
207
The mortgage officer had messed up Miranda's application.
208
They had inadvertently labeled her as separated.
209
The next verb is imply,
210
and this is a very useful verb.
211
It means to communicate an idea or feeling without directly saying it.
212
And because you're not directly saying it,
213
people may use this verb when asking a question,
214
and they would ask, what are you implying?
215
So, I'm going to give you an example.
216
I'm going to imply something without directly saying it,
217
and I just want you to think about what it is that I'm implying.
218
So if I said, gosh,
219
I really hope that you like this video lesson,
220
and when I say like,
221
I'm talking about enjoy, that you relish learning new vocabulary,
222
and if only there were some way for you to commemorate this lesson
223
so that it gets labeled as a great vocabulary lesson and now I'm using it in a positive way.
224
It gets labeled as a great lesson.
225
If there was just something that you could do to commemorate this video and I'm just
226
pointing to that thumbs up because I'm implying
227
that you should hit the like button and I think that you were probably able to guess that.
228
So when it comes to pronouncing this verb it has two syllables,
229
the stresses on the second syllable imply.
230
Now, I don't think the pronunciation is too challenging.
231
What I think is difficult about this verb is that it's sometimes confused with another verb,
232
which is infer.
233
And that's the next C2 verb that I want to talk to you about, to infer something.
234
This means to form an opinion or guess that something is true based on the information that you have.
235
So if you see me and I'm just soaking wet,
236
what might you infer about the weather?
237
I imagine that you would infer that it's raining outside.
238
Or maybe you see me and I'm really happy and I'm smiling,
239
grinning from ear to ear.
240
What might you infer?
241
I really don't know you can let me know down in the comments.
242
The verb, it has two syllables.
243
And once again, the stress is on the second syllable, infer.
244
And I don't think the pronunciation is too challenging.
245
Just try not to confuse those two verbs.
246
To imply, to infer.
247
If by me, you are inferring that I have B-O.
248
Michael, he wasn't inferring, he was implying.
249
You inferred. Was I?
250
I see.
251
You guys are inferring that I'm stupid.
252
That's not correct.
253
We were implying it.
254
You then inferred it.
255
The next verb is to speculate.
256
And I think this is a very useful verb because it's pretty common.
257
People do this all the time, to speculate.
258
It means to guess possible answers to a question when we don't have enough information to be certain.
259
So we do this quite often because,
260
well, I think people just like speculating about different things when trying to explain something that happened.
261
And we don't have all the answers and we may speculate.
262
Or we're trying to guess what will happen in the future and we can only speculate.
263
To give you an example,
264
I could say journalists are speculating what the president may say in his upcoming announcement.
265
And I think in general it's,
266
well, it's not always good to speculate,
267
or at least we should tell people that that is what we're doing.
268
Because sometimes people will speculate and then others will just take that as the truth and it can cause some problems.
269
Now, the verb has three syllables.
270
The stress is on that first syllable, speculate.
271
And I really think this verb is,
272
well, pronounced the way it's spelled.
273
It's pretty straightforward, to speculate.
274
Succumb.
275
So to succumb has two different meanings.
276
And once again, I'll show you some news headlines so that you can see how this verb is used in context.
277
So the first meaning is to lose the determination to oppose something.
278
And really, you're just accepting defeat.
279
Visit these popular tourist traps before they succumb to climate change.
280
This is how Israel's economy could succumb to populism?
281
Samsung is first to succumb to a slowing economy that is crushing semiconductors.
282
The next meaning is to die or suffer badly from an illness or injury.
283
Battling Morocco eventually succumb to injuries.
284
And in this case, they're talking about their football team.
285
To succumb to injuries sustained after falling from mobile tower.
286
When pronouncing this verb, it has two syllables and the stress is on that second syllable, succumb.
287
And just keep in mind there is a silent B at the end of the verb, to succumb.
288
And then there's the verb trudge.
289
To trudge means to walk slowly with a lot of effort,
290
especially over a difficult surface or when carrying something heavy.
291
And often you may follow this verb with a preposition.
292
Trudge up, trudge down, trudge over, trudge through.
293
Maybe you had to trudge up a mountain,
294
or perhaps you had to trudge through the snow,
295
and in both situations, you're walking slowly with a lot of effort.
296
For pronunciation, it's just one syllable.
297
That DG has that J sound similar to the word judge.
298
These are rhyming words.
299
Trudge, judge.
300
The other thing I'd point out is that if the verb is followed by a preposition that begins with a vowel sound,
301
then linking may occur.
302
Trudge up, trudge over.
303
Something to keep in mind.
304
Let's do a little review.
305
Now, I am not going to speculate as to whether or not you will watch another video lesson.
306
I'm sure that you relish building your vocabulary.
307
And because you're still here right now,
308
then I'm just going to infer that you will watch another video lesson
309
because I don't think you want to squander this amazing opportunity to continue improving your overall English fluency.
310
And I really don't want you to succumb to any feelings of inadequacy when it comes to your language abilities.
311
I want you to stay positive.
312
I want you to stay motivated.
313
And I want you to continue learning new things.
314
All right.
315
That's a little review using these verbs in context.
316

As always, thank you so much for watching,
319
and I will see you next time. So long.
