Hello, and welcome back to my Slow English Podcast.
2
A podcast for you to learn English in a slow, comprehensible way.
3
Today, I want to talk about essential idioms and phrases in English.
4
The first idiom is to get a big head.
5
Sometimes I don't give compliments to my sister because if I told her every day,
6
she would get a big head.
7
Her ego would be too big.
8
Some people I see here,
9
surfing or skating, are really good at it.
10
But I see their attitude and the way they speak to other people,
11
and they definitely have a big head, a big ego.
12
They act like they're better than everyone else.
13
I sometimes get a big head.
14
Only when I read my comments on YouTube,
15
all of the beautiful comments boost my ego.
16
And sometimes I get a big head.
17
But I try not to get a big head.
18
And I'm just happy that my followers enjoy my vidiums.
19
You have to be careful with idioms.
20
Because you can't just translate from your language to English.
21
It won't make any sense.
22
For example, to get a big head.
23
You can't say that in Spanish.
24
It doesn't make any sense.
25
What's the version of getting a big head in your language?
26
How would you translate it?
27
Another common idiom is cold feet.
28
Just like that.
29
Cold feet.
30
If you get cold feet,
31
you get nervous about something before it happens.
32
For example, if you have an important job interview or maybe a presentation,
33
you might get cold feet and not go because you're too nervous.
34
The other day, I was at the beach and the waves were massive.
35
You could hear them crashing onto the shore.
36
I was with my friend and we decided to go in anyways.
37
Even though we were nervous, we still went in.
38
But then, as soon as I got in the ocean,
39
I remembered a scary experience in the ocean.
40
And I got cold feet.
41
I decided not to go in.
42
I was too nervous.
43
My friend said, oh no, you got cold feet?
44
And I said, yeah, it's too scary.
45
Have you ever gotten cold feet before doing something scary or important?
46
Do you know that feeling when you want to practice speaking everything you've learned,
47
but your brain just says,
48
nope, it happens to me.
49
I get cold feet when it comes to speaking a new language.
50
That's why I love using italki.
51
This video is sponsored by italki,
52
and you can imagine how happy I was when they contacted me for a collaboration.
53
Italki is a website that I have used in the past,
54
and I love recommending it to my friends
55
and family who are looking for ways to improve their listening and speaking with real conversations.
56

And slowly, speaking gets easier.
62
Hey, hi.
63
Hey, nice to meet you.
64
How are you?
65
Fine, how are you?
66
This one, we pronounce it.
67
Here's a G-G-G-G.
68
G-M.
69
G-M.
70
Try.
71
Okay.
72
Try again.
73
You don't need to be perfect.
74
You just need to practice out loud.
75
And italki gives you the perfect space to do that with someone who is kind and patient.

88
Now, another common idiom is to throw someone under the bus.
89
It's a crazy idiom.
90
But when you throw someone under the bus,
91
you basically blame them or betray them.
92
You do it to save yourself only.
93
I have thrown people under the bus before,
94
but I've also been thrown under the bus myself.
95
I was thrown under the bus by my sister once.
96
One time, we were watching TV together in the basement when I said,
97
I could really go for a big bag of Cheetos and a big tub of ice cream.
98
Not just any ice cream,
99
but cookies and cream ice cream.
100
And we have one in the freezer downstairs.
101
My sister smiled mischievously and said, me too.
102
So we both went downstairs to the kitchen and we ate the whole bag of Cheetos and ice cream.
103
When my mom got back home,
104
she asked, who ate the Cheetos and the big tub of cookies and cream ice cream?
105
My sister threw me under the bus and said, Tiana did it.
106
Then I said, no, she did it.
107
And we just went back and forth,
108
throwing each other under the bus, mutually.
109
After that, I assume my mom knew it was both of us.
110
And she punished both of us.
111
Our punishment was that we couldn't watch TV in the basement for two weeks,
112
which I think is a fair punishment.
113
Have you ever been thrown under the bus by a friend or a sibling or a cousin?
114
Tell me what happened.
115
What did you do?
116
Or what did you not do?
117
Another common idiom is to blow off steam.
118
To blow off steam is to do something that releases stress or tension,
119
that gets rid of stress and relaxes you.
120
This one really resonates with me because I find myself constantly blowing off steam.
121
I can go two days maximum without running.
122
I need to run to blow off steam.
123
I need to meditate or do yoga or even just journal to blow off steam.
124
It's so important because I get so frustrated easily.
125
And I take it out on everyone around me.
126
And that's not fair.
127
So, in order to not take it out on my friends or family,
128
I prevent it by blowing off steam every day.
129
How often do you blow off steam?
130
And how do you run, box, draw, meditate, clean?
131
Another idiom that I love is to pull it off.
132
To pull something off means to succeed at something.
133
to succeed at something that was difficult or maybe surprising to you.
134
Like this one time, I had an online lesson and I had a super bad Wi-Fi connection.
135
My camera kept on freezing.
136
My slides weren't working.
137
My microphone was crackling.
138
But somehow, I pulled it off.
139
At the end of my lesson,
140
my student told me she loved the lesson.
141
But sometimes, even if it's difficult or messy,
142
you can still pull it off.
143
Another thing that I thought I wouldn't be able to pull off was a shaved head.
144
But three years ago, I shaved all of my hair off.
145
And I actually pulled it off.
146
It looked really nice on me.
147
What's a look that you think you can pull off?
148
Have you ever pulled something off when you didn't think you could do it?
149
And our last one for today, on the same page.
150
If you're on the same page with someone,
151
it means you both understand each other.
152
You both agree on something.
153
This happens a lot in different relationships.
154
If you're not on the same page with someone,
155
it can cause conflict or problems.
156
My sister and I, for example,
157
are always on the same page.
158
We both love going to Walmart,
159
watching movies, and eating grapes.
160
We also love traveling, exercising, and eating healthy.
161
So when we travel together, it's so easy.
162
We are always on the same page.
163
Who are you always on the same page with?
164
That's it for today.
165
I hope you enjoyed this video.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
