33

8250
09:27
strong word if something is crappy it means it wasn't very good

36
577640

748420
5970
12:34
are right may is here it is the 1st of May and for
59
754390
4650
12:39
many people the 1st of May is quite an important period so the 1st of May is an
60
759040
7830
12:46
important day for many people here in the UK
61
766870
4680
12:51
we are talking about May as well but many people think of May the first as
62
771550
7350
12:58
yes as I said just for the workers we often think of May Day as being the day
63
778900
9010
13:07
for the workers all the workers will rise and they will get their rights
64
787910
6140
13:14
International Workers day so hello to all of the workers around the world if
65
794050
5980
13:20
you are working at the moment or maybe you have been furloughed in your job
66
800030
5880
13:25
which means you can't do it at the moment it is International Workers day
67
805910
5730
13:31
that is what it is also today it is something else as well
68
811640
6920
13:38
it is BHEL tain can you see that word baile tain or Beltane it is the start of
69
818560
12580
13:51
summer in the Celtic calendar because the Celtic calendar today it would be
70
831140
6390
13:57
the 21st of March so in the Celtic calendar it is officially the start of
71
837530
7910
14:05
summer in the Celtic calendar and of course here in the UK there are many
72
845440
6340
14:11
traditions that would take place in the past we would have lots of fair maidens
73
851780
6570
14:18
there they are
74
858350
2960
14:21
dancing around the very phallic maypole and may the first is often celebrated as
75
861790
10150
14:31
a way of wishing that the forthcoming harvest will be fruitful it is all about
76
871940
8000
14:39
fertility and that is the reason why all of the fair maidens dance around the
77
879940
7030
14:46
Maypole at the beginning of May it is something that hopefully will bring lots
78
886970
6180
14:53
of good fortune for the farmers their crops will grow their animals will stay
79
893150
8460
15:01
strong and all the fair maidens we'll find a handsome man I think I just
80
901610
8159
15:09
made that last part up to that that that last part isn't real I made it up
81
909769
5461
15:15
although come to think of it it might actually be true Mayday I'm not calling
82
915230
8069
15:23
Mayday by the way for those who were wondering so I'm not calling Mayday
83
923299
6111
15:29
because you will call Mayday if you have a problem if you are in
84
929410
6130
15:35
trouble or danger maybe if you are flying an aeroplane and suddenly you
85
935540
5459
15:40
have engine trouble like Harrison Ford did did you see
86
940999
6570
15:47
Harrison Ford once again I think between you and me I think Harrison Ford
87
947569
7200
15:54
when he's flying his aeroplane I think that he's imagining himself in the
88
954769
6451
16:01
Millennium Falcon that's what I think so he flies it like he flew the Millennium
89
961220
6329
16:07
Falcon in Star Wars so that's why he's always having problems with his plane
90
967549
4611
16:12
because I think he he thinks he thinks is doing the Kessel run that's what I
91
972160
7209
16:19
think so this week Harrison Ford got into trouble he flew over a very busy
92
979369
6410
16:25
runway at an airport and another plane I believe was trying to take off or land
93
985779
7110
16:32
as Harrison Ford went across in his airplane or as he calls it his
94
992889
8651
16:41
Millennium Falcon so I think so naughty Harrison Ford not naughty
95
1001540
5430
16:46
Harrison Ford oh if he was here now I would put him over my knee and I'd spank
96
1006970
6690
16:53
his bottom until it was cherry red I really would what thanks for joining me
97
1013660
6989
17:00

181
1612889
5750
26:58
shocking quite shocking hello Adarsh hello mr. Duncan I have been
182
1618639
7961
27:06
trying so hard but my English is not improving often I lack confidence while
183
1626600
6179
27:12
speaking and end up an articulated could you help well this is something I've
184
1632779
8610
27:21
mentioned before speaking is the hardest part of learning any language it really
185
1641389
6000
27:27
is I know I say this very often but speaking is the hardest part you can
186
1647389
6181
27:33
learn the words you can remember the words you can read the words you can
187
1653570
5550
27:39
understand English but when it comes to speaking as I said before it is a little
188
1659120
7289
27:46
bit like performing it is a little bit like going on to the stage to give a
189
1666409
5101
27:51
performance so all you have to do is do it more you have to become accustomed to
190
1671510
7680
27:59
speaking English because for all of your life you've been speaking another
191
1679190
4199
28:03
language and now suddenly you have to do this it's different and maybe you feel a
192
1683389
5851
28:09
little shy doing it in front of other people but I always suggest that you
193
1689240
5279
28:14
should record your voice so try to make a recording listen to the sound of
194
1694519
5650
28:20
voice as you speak you have to love what you do whatever it is and speaking
195
1700169
8911
28:29
English is no exception so confidence comes from doing something again and
196
1709080
6539
28:35
again and again the more you do it the easier it becomes and the easier it
197
1715619
6660
28:42
becomes the more you want to do it it's as
198
1722279
3900
28:46
simple as that
199
1726179
2480
28:49
hello - alle pika hello Anna pika I have read an interesting news article this
200
1729139
11561
29:00
morning it seems that people affected by
201
1740700
4490
29:05
will have antibodies that will protect them well some people are not sure at
202
1745399
5740
29:11
the moment there seems to be conflicting reports about whether a person will then
203
1751139
4441
29:15
be protected after they have had the thing that I can't mention hello pal
204
1755580
9990
29:25
Mira mr. Duncan I wrote about a new British hero who raised money to help
205
1765570
6479
29:32
the hospitals yes that that was that is true I always call him major tarma
206
1772049
7681
29:39
because I always think of the David Bowie song but yes he has been raising
207
1779730
4919
29:44
money he was a hundred yesterday a hundred years old it is a sad fact
208
1784649
6840
29:51
though it is sad that someone has to raise money to actually support
209
1791489
5430
29:56
something that we are actually already paying for in this country so it is a
210
1796919
5940
30:02
strange thing the National Health Service is the service in the UK that
211
1802859
6961
30:09
provides free health care but we all pay for it
212
1809820
4589
30:14
through our taxes so through our tax we pay towards it but over the years
213
1814409
7850
30:22
unfortunately the National Health Service has become more overrun with
214
1822259
6701
30:28
people becoming ill having sickness and there is always a shortage of
215
1828960
6560
30:35
doctors nurses and also beds in the hospitals so it is a sad thing it is a
216
1835520
8399
30:43
sad fact that someone has to raise money to support something that has been there
217
1843919
7291
30:51
for many many years some people feel rather annoyed about it
218
1851210
5849
30:57
to be honest
219
1857059
2931
31:00
hello Adrian mr. Duncan what do you mean with curry as a cooked dish you eat each

35:48
came across our neighbors horses and they are so lovely
260
2148780
7640
36:22

has cut the grass we have been going on for two months without the grass being
269
2352339
8520
39:20
cut and we've had a lot of rain so I imagine the grass will grow very quickly
270
2360859
6301
39:27
if you have lots of rain and it looked like the jungle I imagine it did
271
2367160

5220
43:39
last year and I still can't believe it didn't cost us anything
293
2619130
6410
43:45
quite amazing mr. Duncan at the moment Paris is dead what a pity it is a large
294
2625540
6010
43:51
prison I would imagine it is so I thought it would be nice to have a
295
2631550
4800
43:56
little look at a time a period of time when things were different we might even
296
2636350
8460
44:04
have a little trip along the Seine later on would you like to do that but right
297
2644810
5820
44:10
now we are going to take a look at something that has become quite a
298
2650630
4890
44:15
tradition over the past two or three years in this house every Friday night
299
2655520
7280
44:22
we will make our traditional Friday night meal it is our lovely delicious
300
2662800
12840
44:35
spicy curry night
301
2675640
5280
44:53
oh hello there welcome to my kitchen it is now Friday night and I am busy here
302
2693859
7640
45:01
preparing my special Friday night treat mr. Steve will be coming down soon to
303
2701499
7421
45:08
help me but for now I am here by myself and can you see what I'm doing I'm
304
2708920
6179
45:15
peeling some potatoes we need to have some potatoes peeled peel it's a very
305
2715099
9990
45:25
interesting word the word peel can actually be used in many ways for
306
2725089
6091
45:31
example peel can mean to remove some things slowly for example you peel the
307
2731180
8609
45:39
skin from a potato you peel the potato also peel can be described as removing
308
2739789
10950
45:50
your clothes slowly so again it is something you are taking off very slowly
309
2750739
7980
45:58
so you peel your clothes off also the word peel can mean to wring the
310
2758719
9441
46:08
dean a bell the sound of a bell ringing can be described as peel and of course
311
2768160
10569
46:18
the thing that you remove from the potato can also be called peel so the
312
2778729
8040
46:26
word peel can be used in many many different ways so as I mentioned we are
313
2786769
5881
46:32
having curry tonight ah yes every Friday night mr. Steve and
314
2792650
5669
46:38
myself we always have a delicious curry so mr. Steve will be joining me very
315
2798319
5490
46:43
soon here in the kitchen and between you and me he will be doing all of the hard
316
2803809
7321
46:51
work all I have to do is peel these potatoes I think some of these potatoes
317
2811130
9000
47:00
have actually become a little bit rotten so I'm gonna have to be very careful
318
2820130
7170
47:07
or peeling these potatoes I have to make sure that all of the rotten parts are
319
2827300
9210
47:16
removed because of course no one wants to eat rotten potatoes of course not mr.
320
2836510
11190
47:27
Steve will be joining me a little bit later on the live stream and also here
321
2847700
6630
47:34
in the kitchen because mr. Steve will be cooking for curry so all I'm doing for
322
2854330
6150
47:40
now is preparing the meal preparing the potatoes but to be honest with you mr.
323
2860480
8430
47:48
Steve will be doing most of the work we will wait for a few moments for mr.
324
2868910
8010
47:56
Steve to come down the stairs and join me here in the kitchen so as you can see
325
2876920
9210
48:06
mr. Steve has now joined me in the kitchen so what are we eating tonight
326
2886130
6450
48:12
mr. Steve curry having a curry tonight so I've got everything that I need laid
327
2892580
7530
48:20
out here and it's a strange curry this because it's my own sort of concoction
328
2900110
6990
48:27
there's a word concoction and caption and it's mr. Steve's special mixture
329
2907100
6540
48:33
special recipe it's a bit of this a bit of that so I'm starting off with some
330
2913640
5940
48:39
red split lentils there we go she's not being as close to the camera lentils
331
2919580
8960
48:48
because I like mint wasn't a curry and the good oh yes lentils are very good
332
2928540
6460
48:55
for you so this particular curry is going to be a fish curry and also with
333
2935000
8310
49:03
the lentils as well and what style of curry is it Steve so this is a
334
2943310
5160
49:08
particular style of curry okay these take about
335
2948470
8549
49:17
mr. cook must say we are enjoying the banging so banging away in the kitchen
336
2957019
8130
49:25
so I'll just put this onto the stove or the cooker and we'll get that cooking so
337
2965149
8700
49:33
I'm going over here so how long do we have to cook the lentils for how long do
338
2973849
6120
49:39
they take Steve right the lentils take about 20 minutes which is what I just
339
2979969
4710
49:44

49:54
you can give it a bit more buna buna style which is in the thing of
341
2994729
5850
50:00
it the thing I love about this Steve is that this this tastes is good as a curry
342
3000579
6720
50:07
that you would have in a restaurant so if you went to a restaurant and had had
343
3007299
4740
50:12
a buna it would taste as good as this stuff in the jar we're not being

Grossman is watching and you would like to sponsor my English lessons please
348
3033699
5760
50:39
please get in touch thank you very much let's give him another plug because
349
3039459
4410
50:43
there's lots of other flavours that was the buna which is essentially a very
350
3043869
6300
50:50
curry based around onions and tomatoes onions and tomatoes well I think there's
351
3050169
7350
50:57
all Curry's about onions in heaven over that one got a lot of tomatoes in we
352
3057519
4470
51:01
could also have a Rogan Josh there we go a Rogan Josh which tomatoes and fried
353
3061989
8730
51:10
onions with ginger and coriander Oh delicious I must admit there's one thing
354
3070719
5610
51:16
I love about curries it's when it has lots of ginger in it not many people
355
3076329
6240
51:22
like ginger some people hate ginger and what's the other one Steve the other one
356
3082569
5640
51:28
is the old favorite tikka masala you know if you're not keen
357
3088209
7201
51:35
on a strong curry that's the one to have tikka masala so that's quite a mild one
358
3095410
6060
51:41
quite a mild one with with lots of cream and the yogurt in it so it's a bit more
359
3101470
4650
51:46
fattening than your average calorie so that particular one isn't very healthy
360
3106120
5220
51:51
now I bought these they were on offer today really yes they're normally around
361
3111340
5460
51:56
2 pounds 20 a jar okay but they were on offer today for a pound a pound each so
362
3116800
7500
52:04
I got a a dozen of them 12 of them today so keep them in there and so you know
363
3124300
6600
52:10
saving a lot of money I tell you what they used to do there's only I'm being
364
3130900
4260
52:15
very pedantic here pedantic there's another word but antique means very
365
3135160
4170
52:19
picky a person who picks the fine details all the faults out of everything
366
3139330
6750
52:26
when they first brought these curries out years ago they used to have 425
367
3146080
7130
52:33
grams per jar and then they shrunk the jars down and charge the same price
368
3153210
8310
52:41
happens a lot nowadays you know you know the same thing happens to chocolate bars
369
3161520
4480
52:46
as well they keep making chocolate bars or boxes of chocolates smaller and
370
3166000
5970
52:51
smaller and every time they do that they don't reduce the price so they make the
371
3171970
6630
52:58
product smaller but they don't lower the price they charge exactly the same thing
372
3178600
5790
53:04
it really annoys me yes and the problem is that's not quite enough for - the jar
373
3184390
4770
53:09
isn't quite big enough for two rows previously it was so I have to bulk it
374
3189160
4260
53:13
out with some lentils I had a bit more of my own curry powder into it and well
375
3193420
5820
53:19
you'll see what else I add in to turn this from what is what they're already
376
3199240
6030
53:25
very good that I add some extras to it to spice it up even more so mr. Steve
377
3205270
5010
53:30
uses this particular mix but also he adds his own little magic ingredients as
378
3210280
9120
53:39
well right I'm gonna keep my eye eye on those lentils but
379
3219400
4830
53:44
they boil over very easily I've just realized I'm starting to sound like Loyd
380
3224230
5670
53:49
Grossman this is how Loyd Grossman taught
381
3229900
5540
53:55
hello my name is Loyd Grossman I don't think anyone will know I don't think
382
3235440
8470
54:03
anyone will know who lured Grossman is but anyway he used to be on television
383
3243910
4740
54:08
all the time but nowadays he nowadays he is a celebrity ship ok so while that
384
3248650
13860
54:22
lentils are cooking I'm going to prepare some other things so mr. Steve has just
385
3262510
36360
54:58
rinsed the rice we really do like sweet potatoes home just one just one oh yes
386
3298870
30620
55:34
the lentils are very prone to boiling over the lentil so I shall just peel
387
3334610
7750
55:42
this service sweet potato like so and I like to cook the sweet potatoes in with
388
3342360
11520
55:53
the rice rather than cooking them separately because then you'll retain a
389
3353880
7080
56:00
lot of the goodness that comes out of it and it saves a saucepan retain I love
390
3360960
6210
56:07
that word retain if you retain something you keep it back you keep it back you
391
3367170
6750
56:13
preserve it you retain those in with the rice like that and there we go oh yes
392
3373920
18510
56:32
there we go and so that in with the rice and I'll
393
3392430
3150
56:35
put those on for a slow cook
394
3395580
3740
56:47
and I'm also going to educate with little rubbish here I'm gonna put some
395
3407240
6570
56:53
extra tomatoes in well but I'm also going to rinse the tomatoes to get rid
396
3413810
15930
57:09
of the pesticides which you might think sounded strange this is something that
397
3429740
5100
57:14
Steve does a lot actually he does it all the time so this is something Steve does
398
3434840
5220
57:20
he always he rinses everything and I mean everything in vinegar even his
399
3440060
7290
57:27
strawberries when he has strawberries he even does does it with the strawberries
400
3447350
5250
57:32
so he puts the strawberries on vinegar because he he thinks it will get rid of
401
3452600
5010
57:37
all the horrible additives and pesticides that are on the vegetables
402
3457610
6750
57:44
and also on the fruit it does this is a mixture of water vinegar and salt and
403
3464360
9540
57:53
then I just five minutes soak any fruit or vegetable well not all fruit and
404
3473900
6450
58:00
vegetables but ones that I think are going to be prone to collecting the
405
3480350
4290
58:04
pesticides and like strawberries things like that strawberries and I like to
406
3484640
5190
58:09
wash tomatoes strawberries and do do it with blackberries Steve yes fruit any
407
3489830
9420
58:19
any fruit that could have been sprayed so most fruit most fruit I don't bother
408
3499250
4980
58:24
with if it's not organic if it's organic then I don't bother but if it's not
409
3504230
6240
58:30
organic I will always rinse it just in case there are a few pesticides lurking
410
3510470
5880
58:36
on the outside you might notice here by the way that these potatoes these sweet
411
3516350
9210
58:45
potatoes are organic can you see on there can you see they are actually
412
3525560
7410
58:52
organic sweet potatoes so with the rice and so was
413
3532970
6030
58:59
who are the lentils now let's see how the lentils are doing because they need
414
3539000
6720
59:05
a stir I've got the wooden spoon I'm gonna give them a stir so I'm going over
415
3545720
7080
59:12
here right so the lentils nicely cooked so next stage is to add the curry sauce
416
3552800
13790
59:26
boom no we're going store that in yeah
417
3566590
8730
59:35
swing it out with a bit of water because just to get all the lovely juice out of
418
3575380
8620
59:44
there quick stir I'm slaving away in the kitchen slaving away it's an expression
419
3584000
12810
59:56
often used to describe someone who's working hard in the kitchen some garlic
420
3596810
4860
60:01
granules cuz I can't be bothered to buy fresh garlic and cut it up that is
421
3601670
4800
60:06
better but this is a substitute so I'll add some garlic granules I will add the
422
3606470
7920
60:14
fish so I've got mackerel in spring water which I've drained and I'm going
423
3614390
10050
60:24
to add those in now if there's some I'll say one thing Steve it's very fishy
424
3624440
7590
60:32
the smell macro is one of the smelliest fish it's very smelly but in that curry
425
3632030
10260
60:42
it's very nice and it's very healthy because it's got lots of healthy fats in
426
3642290
6570
60:48
it mackerel and we've got a small tin in there so we've got some protein mmm and
427
3648860
8720
60:57
I shall bring that to the boil I will add my tomatoes which are now happily
428
3657580
8650
61:06
devoid of pesticides d'void
429
3666230
4340
61:10
that's a great word if something is devoid it is it is without it is without
430
3670570
5730
61:16
it it is devoid there's already a lot of tomatoes in this curry sauce but I like
431
3676300
8550
61:24
to add some fresh tomatoes as well just for a bit of added flavor so we can
432
3684850
7680
61:32
leave that to cook but when it's come to the boil and just before we serve it I
433
3692530
6390
61:38
won't have this as a final addition and it's my favorite it's garam masala we
434
3698920
9810
61:48
saw that earlier earlier earlier we were talking all about Somozas Somozas at the
435
3708730
8640
61:57
start of today's livestream we talked about some Moses and I said that mr.
436
3717370
5850
62:03
Steve likes to put that in his baked beans I add this to everything it's
437
3723220
8310
62:11
absolutely delicious it's aromatic spicy it's not it's not strong in the sense
438
3731530
7890
62:19
that it's it's hot it's just very flavoursome so you can add this to
439
3739420
6240
62:25
everything oh I just love the smell of it so I'm gonna add that in in about 5
440
3745660
6240
62:31
minutes time for those who
441
3751900
10080
62:41
just joined us hello this is mr. Steve and mr. Duncan on a Friday night but for
442
3761980
8040
62:50
those who are worried that this is not a live stream don't worry it is we will be
443
3770020
5700
62:55
back live in a few moments but at the moment we are cooking curry if you just
444
3775720
7770
63:03
want to cook some fish and give it a little bit of flavor you can just
445
3783490
4410
63:07
sprinkle this on to fish to meat to anything just to give it a bit of a bit
446
3787900
4590
63:12
of an Indian sort of curry flavor but without making it too hot I love it
447
3792490
7050
63:19
and it's lovely in baked beans that is one of the problems with curry because
448
3799540
5819
63:25
some people don't like it too spicy but they do like the flavor and the aroma of
449
3805359
7051
63:32
the spices but they don't want it too hot they don't want the curry to burn
450
3812410
5340
63:37
their mouth out yes and what makes a curried hot of course is the chili and
451
3817750
5900
63:43
that's what makes it very hot whereas this is everything but it doesn't have
452
3823650
6910
63:50
the chili in it so it gives you the flavor without the heat spice so I'm
453
3830560
6750
63:57
ready to add the garam masala now because this is all cooked the fish is
454
3837310
5700
64:03
already cooked anyway the lentils are cooked so I'm going to add this in I
455
3843010
5480
64:08
need a teaspoon as we said earlier mister
456
3848490
10140
64:24
here we go here comes the garam masala only a teaspoon because otherwise you
457
3864200
8490
64:32
can't taste anything else oh all the smell coming off there absolutely my
458
3872690
18450
64:51
mouth is watering at the prospect of eating this lentil fish curry and as I
459
3891140
9689
65:00
speak the rice is coming to the boil and we've got the sweet potatoes in there as
460
3900829
5101
65:05

482
4056259
4810
67:41
interesting words as well in that video mr. Steve was mentioning a lot of words
483
4061069
6331

507
4234320
7080
70:41

508
4241400
6420
70:47
to you I'd like to show you things that are different sometimes and today is no
509
4247820
7770
70:55

510
4255590
5450
71:01
so now you know where I am in the UK for those who have been asking now you know
511
4261040

71:09
Brighton hello Anna Brighton is Brighton a beautiful place
512
4269440
5620
71:15
to visit it is by the seaside lots of fresh air lots of seagulls flying over
513
4275060
7470
71:22
your head lots of delicious food lots of nice tasty things to sample in Brighton
514
4282530
8720
71:31
definitely are we still talking about food I'm not sure I'm not sure hello
515
4291250
7000
71:38
tomorrow they say a talented person is talented at everything I'm not sure
516
4298250
5730
71:43
about that I don't think I really have any talents
517
4303980
4020
71:48
I think mr. Steve is more talented than me he can sing he can remember lots of
518
4308000
6780
71:54
scripts he has a very good memory he can retain things very easily in his memory
519
4314780
8160
72:02
so sometimes I feel slightly jealous of Steve because he can retain a lot of
520
4322940
6870
72:09
information very quickly unfortunately I'm not very good at that I'm not good
521
4329810
6060
72:15
at remembering lots and lots of words or scripts so if I had to appear in a play
522
4335870
7559
72:23
I would be hopeless because I would never be able to remember all of the
523
4343429
5281
72:28
words all of the script that I would have to use on the stage I wouldn't be
524
4348710
7830
72:36
able to do it I'm afraid shall we go back to France we were in
525
4356540
5400
72:41
France just now and we are going to take another
526
4361940
2980
72:44
look this time we are going for a little sale along the River Seine
527
4364920
8630
74:27
OhLaLa very nice and there it was some scenes from my trip to Paris last year I
528
4467289
9690
74:36
hope you enjoyed that something a little different today we are showing a lot of
529
4476979
5051
74:42
things today have you noticed would you like to go
530
4482030
2759
74:44
inside a bird's nest right now I was talking all about nature yesterday and
531
4484789
5011
74:49
in my garden there are many birds building nests and it reminded me of the
532
4489800
6419
74:56
time when I had some birds nesting in one of my little bird boxes and guess
533
4496219
6840
75:03
what I was also able to record the action all of the things going on inside
534
4503059
7500
75:10
the bird box so this is something that I recorded when I was living in my
535
4510559
6810
75:17
previous house I actually set up a web camera and also I was able to monitor
536
4517369
9571
75:26
what was going on and there you can see there is a bird actually building its
537
4526940
4769
75:31
nest so on the screen now you can see the bird is actually putting some of
538
4531709
8030
75:39
well you have grass and you have lots of things including moss as well things
539
4539739
6130
75:45
that are commonly found in the average garden such as grass and moss and that
540
4545869
6360
75:52
particular bird is building its nest inside the bird box so this is something
541
4552229
7441
75:59
I was very pleased about because I was able to actually record it would you
542
4559670
5219
76:04
like to have a look at the chicks so we've had a look at the mother and now
543
4564889
4380
76:09
we are going to have a look at the chicks inside the nest so this is a
544
4569269
7470
76:16
little bit later on after a 2 or 3 weeks you can see the chicks have been born
545
4576739
5190
76:21
they've hatched out and there they are getting ready to accept some more food
546
4581929
6601
76:28
from the parent so look at that that is an actual shot filmed in my previous
547
4588530
6719
76:35
garden that I used to have before I moved here
548
4595249
3841
76:39
and you can see there are lots of little birds these are actually baby blue tits
549
4599090
8270
76:47
they are actually baby blue tits and at the moment there are many nests around
550
4607360
6580
76:53
the area where I live they are all over the place all over the
551
4613940
4920
76:58
place there are nests everywhere so I hope you enjoyed that something a little
552
4618860
5970
77:04
unusual again I am showing you some unusual things today don't you think I
553
4624830
6830
77:11
think so as well
554
4631660
3390
77:16
latina says I like the way you say Oh Lala
555
4636580
3940
77:20
French people are usually who use Ola ooh la la when something wrong has
556
4640520
6750
77:27
happened oh I see I don't know why I always feel excited if I feel excited I
557
4647270
6870
77:34
always think of something surprising something delightful but apparently
558
4654140
10340
77:44
French people usually use it when something horrible has happened or if
559
4664480
4930
77:49
they are shocked about something we will see you are very keen on birds mr.
560
4669410
4650
77:54
Duncan that is true I can't I can't lie I do like nature very much Ernesto is

562
4683360
6360
78:09
really observe Labor Day here we do have a labor movement one of our main
563
4689720
6330
78:16
political parties is actually the Labour Party so they are the opposite of the
564
4696050
6480
78:22
Conservatives so we have the Labour Party and their origins stem from I want
565
4702530
9720
78:32
to say left-wing ideology and we'll leave it at that okay we will leave it
566
4712250
5850
78:38
at that I don't want to get too deep into politics to be honest with you but
567
4718100
6000
78:44
yes we do certain people do observe Labor Day not everyone so here in the UK
568
4724100
6840
78:50
we also have our traditions with the arrival of
569
4730940
4949
78:55
summer and many people believe that if they wish if they celebrate in certain
570
4735889
6780
79:02
ways then their crops and their animals will be healthy and there will be lots
571
4742669
7410
79:10
of food for everyone to eat as the year goes on so we often have lots of
572
4750079
6721
79:16
ceremonies or lots of festivals however this year as you can imagine there are
573
4756800

577
4785300
7919
79:53

Lewis again Louis lives around 10 kilometers southwest of Paris but by the
598
4939800
9060
82:28
Metro so if if Lewis uses the Metro he can be at the Eiffel Tower in just 20
599
4948860
8340
82:37
minutes that's amazing one of the things I was impressed with when I was in Paris
600
4957200
4890
82:42
was the Metro amazing the underground system of trains the network of trains
601
4962090
9180
82:51
underground in Paris I was really impressed with it even though everyone
602
4971270
5940
82:57
kept warning me to be careful they said be careful if you are going to use the
603
4977210
6000
83:03
Metro be careful everyone kept saying that I don't know why but apparently
604

very much here's another one oh now this is a thing this is a thing
673
5466050
6060
91:12
so this names something Bracken Bracken Bracken is a type of plant it is a type
674
5472110
8790
91:20
of fern and you will often see it if you are walking around an area of forest so
675
5480900
8760
91:29
you will see the trees above you climbing into the sky but normally
676
5489660
5789
91:35
around you you'll have lots of Bracken and this is what Bracken looks like so
677
5495449
7321
91:42
there it is Bracken you will see it often in movies when people are trying
678
5502770
5820
91:48
to make their way through the jungle you will often see people trying to to fight
679
5508590
6870
91:55
their way through the Bracken Bracken I love that word it's a great word so
680
5515460
8460
92:03
Bracken is a type of green fern something you often see in areas where
681
5523920
6450
92:10
there are forests maybe a jungle area here in the UK you will find
682
5530370
7590
92:17
Bracken in many places including in the area where I live there is Bracken
683
5537960
7430
92:25
everywhere there is a lot of Bracken especially near to where I live because
684
5545390
5350
92:30
there are many trees many forests and also many wild areas where the plants
685
5550740
6690
92:37
are able to grow wild and free mmm Bracken I like that word I like it a lot
686
5557430
11420
92:48
stickler oh here's an interesting word stickler stickler what is a stickler a
687
5568850
9930
92:58
person who is very fussy a person who likes to do things in the correct way
688
5578780
7110
93:05
they always follow the rules they like to do things in the right way they like
689
5585890
7600
93:13
to do things in a very precise way the correct way they are a person who is
690
5593490
7260
93:20
very fussy about the way they do things they are a stickler stickler so maybe
691
5600750
8730
93:29
you have a boss who always insists that you arrive at work on time you must
692
5609480
7500
93:36
never be late so you might say that your boss is a stickler for punctuality so
693
5616980
9360
93:46
your boss is a stickler for punctuality you must be at work on time because your
694
5626340
9270
93:55
boss is a stickler for punctuality so punctuality means arriving at the
695
5635610
10860
94:06
right time you are not late you arrive before or on time you must never be late
696
5646470
8640
94:15
so a stickler is a person who is very precise about the way they do things or
697
5655110
5970
94:21
maybe the way they want other people to do things you always follow the rules
698
5661080
7850
94:29
mmm Anna Anna pika says I a bit of a stickler hmm I think Steve might be as
699
5669249
10450
94:39
well I sometimes say that Steve is a stickler sometimes he likes to do things
700
5679699
5280
94:44
in a very precise way not always not always Steve could also be a little
701
5684979
6750
94:51
careless sometimes but then again can't we all can't we all here is another one
702
5691729
5910

704
5705639
7480
95:13

707
5734809
10410
95:45
creating so wrought just means something has been reshaped wrought you bend you
708
5745219
10020
95:55
twist you turn you change the shape of something that is straight wrought
709
5755239
8190
96:03
quite often you might see are outside someone's house you might see wrought
710
5763429
6500
96:09
iron so what we are saying there is the iron has been twisted and bent to create
711
5769929
7510
96:17

712
5777439
7401

5784840
11460
96:36
changed normally for decoration oh he's a big
714
5796300
6400
96:42
one mr. Duncan that is a big one that is a big word here's another one
715
5802700
6750
96:49
another word wrought lil says wrought is another difficult word to memorize
716
5809450
10110
96:59
however if you write these words down as you see them don't forget you can write
717
5819560
5790
97:05
them down you can also watch this lesson again so you can understand the words
718
5825350
5880
97:11
more clearly so sometimes when you are watching my videos maybe you don't
719
5831230
5520
97:16
understand everything straight away later you can later you can I'm just
720
5836750
8460
97:25
distracted because I can see someone walking their dog on my other camera
721
5845210
4890
97:30
would you like to have a look here we go so in the distance over there there is
722
5850100
6540
97:36
someone actually walking their dog can you see them in the center of the
723
5856640
5400
97:42
picture I think it might be a farmer but he's walking along and it looks as if he
724
5862040
6540
97:48
has two dogs with him as well and that is one of the local farmers that you are
725
5868580
5220
97:53
looking at now he is actually one of the local farmers that lives around here and
726
5873800
5270
97:59
it looks as if he was taking his dogs for a little walk it's not nice a slight
727
5879070
10060
98:09
distraction there back to our strange English words this word is related to
728
5889130
8310
98:17
something I was watching earlier in fact gastronomical gastronomical we use this
729
5897440
9090
98:26
to describe anything that is related to cooking or the preparation or cooking of
730
5906530
7470
98:34
food gastronomical you might describe something as delicious you might say
731
5914000
7950
98:41
that it was a gastronomical delight a gastronomical delight refers to
732
5921950
9050
98:51
beautiful delicious food the opposite of course is a gastronomical disaster that
733
5931000
8290
98:59
means the food wasn't very nice so in this sense we are using the word food
734
5939290
5700
99:04
and cooking the way something tastes anything related to cooking food
735
5944990
8510
99:13
gastronomical gastronomical and you might notice at the beginning of this
736
5953500
5020
99:18
world gastro also relates to the stomach as well eating and the stomach that's
737
5958520
8220
99:26
very nice another word oh here's another one this is an odd word however this
738
5966740
7860
99:34
word has a very simple meaning so the meaning of this word is actually quite
739
5974600
4500
99:39
simple quite a basic word even though it looks very strange the word is
740
5979100
7520
99:46
juxtaposed juxtaposed the meaning is side by side two things are next to each
741
5986620
11290
99:57
other they are placed side by side maybe you are comparing two things you are
742
5997910
7680
100:05
putting them next to each other you juxtapose those things you put them side
743
6005590
7530
100:13
by side juxtaposed so that is an interesting word and it means to put
744
6013120
6870
100:19
something side by side you put two things
745
6019990
3300
100:23
next next to each other or to be nearby those two things are nearby you
746
6023290
8450
100:31
juxtapose those things hmm we are having curry tonight the curry that you saw as
747
6031740
11320
100:43
making in the kitchen that is the same meal we are going to have tonight can
748
6043060
6630
100:49
you believe it we are actually having in fact mr. Steve insists I have no
749
6049690
6490
100:56
choice mr. Steve he says we always have curry on Friday nights so there you go
750
6056180
7820
101:04
that's what we're having here's another word this is a word that is very emotive
751
6064000
7740
101:11
this is a word that some people feel very strongly about in fact this word is
752
6071740
5560
101:17
only really used by people who are against a certain type of action to be
753
6077300
7680
101:24
honest vivisection vivisection so this is quite a dark word it means to
754
6084980
8280
101:33
experiment or to do tests on living creatures so if you are doing medical
755
6093260
5850
101:39
tests if you are trying to find out if a certain substance harms an animal before
756
6099110
8820
101:47
it is used on human beings we call that vivisection it is to act in a way that a
757
6107930
9750
101:57
lot of people disagree with you test products quite often wealth certainly
758
6117680
6150
102:03
many years ago in the cosmetic industry many companies used to test their
759
6123830
5720
102:09
cosmetics on animals they used to put the cosmetics into their eyes and they
760
6129550
6970
102:16
would force them to eat these things just to see what the effect was so you
761
6136520
5310
102:21
had to test on animals that were alive many people believe that this is a very
762
6141830
6570
102:28
cruel way of doing it so people who are against animal testing live animal
763
6148400
7170
102:35
testing they refer to it as vivisection vivisection vivisection just means live
764
6155570
10400
102:45
autopsy you are cutting something open that is still alive you are operating or
765
6165970
6250
102:52
testing on something that is living not a very nice thing and there are many
766
6172220
6990
102:59
people who are against vivisection fortunately nowadays there are
767
6179210
5790
103:05
companies that don't do it they have stopped carrying out vivisection oh my
768
6185000
8370
103:13
goodness mr. Duncan what is that what what is that word mr. Duncan hey I know
769
6193370
10320
103:23
it's a strange word mr. Duncan but it's also a big word this is a word if you've
770
6203690
9000
103:32
ever seen a Disney movie have you ever seen the Lion King The Lion King Akuma
771
6212690
7700
103:40
let me just a cou man Matata is a lovely word Hakuna Matata
772
6220390
8820
103:49
it is often what I don't know I think I need to lie down in a dark room I think
773
6229210
11740
104:00
so so have you ever seen a Disney film and you've seen the animals talking they
774
6240950
6030
104:06
are almost like human beings so they have many of the characteristics many of
775
6246980
5370
104:12
the mannerisms that a human being would have so you are changing an animal into
776
6252350
6800
104:19
human form you are looking at something in a different way quite often an animal
777
6259150
5860
104:25
or maybe a type of bird anything you are changing the form and also the
778
6265010
8580
104:33
characteristic of an animal into something else
779
6273590
3500
104:37
Disney if you've ever seen the Lion King that is a good example of animals having
780
6277090
6370
104:43
human characteristics people who own dogs they will also do this to their
781
6283460
9600
104:53
animal and I'm going to show you the word here it is and throw PO more more
782
6293060
10530
105:03
thighs anthropomorphize anthropomorphize anthropomorphize if you am prefer more
783
6303590
10020
105:13
thigh something and throw more thighs it means
784
6313610
5260
105:18
you give an animal the characteristics of a human being a person they have the
785
6318870
6960
105:25
personality of a human being you are transferring one thing to another animal
786
6325830
6150
105:31
the way in which they behave or communicate and you will see this quite
787
6331980
6030
105:38
often with Disney films cartoons quite often you will see the animal actually
788
6338010
7710
105:45
talking and also behaving like a human being and this is the process this is
789
6345720
5970
105:51
what we call it and throw per morph eyes you anthropomorphize it means you change
790
6351690
8310
106:00
the characteristics of one animal to another in this case we are talking
791
6360000
5580
106:05
about animals talking like human beings and also behaving like human beings
792
6365580
6510
106:12
it is a hard word to say you are right and throw per morph eyes and throw per
793
6372090
8430
106:20
morph eyes so if you split the word up into syllables it's not so hard and
794
6380520
7970
106:28
throw PO morph eyes anthropomorphize parrot is you are changing the
795
6388490
8620
106:37
characteristics of one thing to another I suppose you could say that the
796
6397110
8330
106:45
Egyptians used to do that they used to create sculptures and also carvings of
797
6405440
7540
106:52
animals that appeared human so maybe certain Egyptian gods they had the form
798
6412980
9600
107:02
of an animal however they also had the form of a human being they were changing
799
6422580
5430
107:08
the formation of those two animals and combining them together and for a perm
800
6428010
7350
107:15
or thighs is what you are doing okay from one difficult word to a simple word
801
6435360
10710
107:26

802
6446070
4040

804
6464670

805
6473390
9640
108:03

806
6483030

suppose you can have an argument with yourself it is a bit weird so an
839
6732540
5100
112:17
argument taking place between two or more people is a brouhaha a very noisy
840
6737640
7670
112:25
disagreement a brouhaha so if your neighbors are having a fight in the
841
6745310
6070
112:31
middle of the night and there is lots of noise coming from the house you might
842
6751380
5549
112:36
say who in my neighbor's house last night there was a brouhaha a brouhaha an
843
6756929
9111
112:46
argument a very aggressive argument normally involving shouting or maybe
844
6766040
10830
112:56
things being broken get out something like that uni Kareena imagine using all
845
6776870
14920
113:11
these words together for the first time when he meets someone who is a native
846
6791790
3449
113:15
English speaker he or she would never talk to us again I'm not sure about that
847
6795239
5940
113:21
I don't think so they would be very impressed I think their head their head
848
6801179
5971
113:27
would explode I think so brouhaha is a big argument noisy argument taking place
849
6807150
9560
113:36
people disagreeing and shouting at each other
850
6816710
4509
113:41

851
6821219

114:04
penultimate penultimate ah that's better so here is the penultimate word by the
855
6844780
12340
114:17
way penultimate means the second-to-last so
856
6857120
4320
114:21
it's not the last word it is the second-to-last so the next word will be
857
6861440
6600
114:28
the last word this word is the penultimate word that we are looking at
858
6868040

859
6873290

861
6889340

114:56
mischievous teenager a young person who does bad things or maybe they are always

863
6903380
6930
115:10

6330
115:16

Palmeiras says oh when we were students at university we called our dormitory
903
7199909
5201
120:05
the Hotel California because if because it was a very popular song
904
7205110
5739
120:10
at the time that is a very old song by the way it came out many years ago the
905
7210849
6540
120:17
Hotel California it also has one of the longest introductions of any song I
906
7217389
5940
120:23
remember years ago when I used to do radio presenting Wow look at that look
907
7223329
7080
120:30
at that rain again what is going on out there the rain is really coming down
908
7230409
4710
120:35
quite heavily look at that Wow it is definitely raining outside I can safely
909
7235119
10710
120:45
say that the rain is definitely falling outside my window look at that well as I
910
7245829
12030
120:57
was saying many years ago when I used to play Hotel California on the radio you
911
7257859
4981
121:02
could talk for a very long time before that the vocals came in so before the
912
7262840
5969
121:08
people in the on the song started singing you could talk for ages so I
913
7268809
4531
121:13
used to like reading the weather or doing some sort of chitchat over the
914
7273340
6119
121:19
introduction of Hotel California because I think it goes on for about two or
915
7279459
5190
121:24
maybe three minutes it has one of the longest introductions of any song that
916
7284649
4680
