Phrasal Verb Magic 1 - How to Learn Phrasal Verbs like Native English Speakers

hello guys it is Drew here just saying

hello I'll peek into the camera quick hello

hello

anyway uh I wanted to make a video since

we're talking about communication about

how I actually practice with my daughter

and there are a couple different ways

that i speak with her as I have talked

in this series before or just on videos

in general so one of them is where i'm

communicating in the same way that I'm

communicating right now where I'm just

speaking so she can get the tone of the

English language in the way I speak and

you know the kind of blah blah blah the

sense of it more like a song and

listening to the way I speak because

english sounds different from Japanese

or Chinese or Spanish so she's learning

that but the other thing i do is giving

her very explicit instruction about this

thing and that thing and I'll do

something like take a deck of cards or

use some blocks or something and then we

do what I actually called fluency

training and I'm drilling her in a way

that's giving her examples of how how

the language works and teaching her how

the grammar works as well so I wanted to

do something that's similar to that but

in a way that's maybe a little bit more

complicated so I wanted to teach a bunch

of phrasal verbs so right here I have a

lovely hello kitty bag that I've taken

this is just in my house and I've got a

stack of uno cards in here so if I'm

just speaking with her i would do

something and again i'm making it a bit

more complicated for this lesson just

because your English level is higher

than my daughter's is and she's about

one year and three months at this point

but when I'm speaking with her if I just

want to talk about phrasal verbs what

I'm going to do and i would not

necessarily be able to explain to her

exactly how I do it so i have to be a

bit more careful but in this i'm going

to use phrasal verbs and i'll use them

in different ways so you can see how

maybe they're used in a question or

they're used in a situation where I'm at

like you know you could split the

phrasal verb up so again we have a word

like split up so I split the phrasal

verb up or you know and again you'll

just see the examples of these but i'm

just using phrasal verbs in different

ways

but in a physical sense and showing you

exactly how they work because this is

how native English speakers learn the

language i'm just making it a bit more

explicit in doing it maybe more than

parents normally would do if they don't

have maybe just a way of teaching in a

particular way like i do so the first

thing I'll do is I will take out the

cards

this is one of our first phrasal verbs

i'm going to take out the cards i'm

taking the card out of the deck or I'm

taking the cards out of the bag

am I taking the cards out yes i am

taking the cards out of the bag so i'm

going to put away the bag where I'll put

the bag away i'll take the bag and just

put it over here so i'll put it away and

now I have a stack of you know cart so

we can look at these what it's the same

thing on both sides so this is a stack

of some older uno cards but first just

looking at the cards i'm going to take

off the first card so take off the first

card so I can take off i can take a card

but i can also take off a card and this

is just the same way I'm I have a stack

of something so i can take something off

like i would take a card off of the

stack or I take a card off of the table

so here is the lens cap for my camera I

can take the cap off the table and by

taking the cap off the table yes i am

i'm taking the cap off the table taking

it off the table so i will put it down

again this is another phrasal verb so i

can put the card on the table or I can

put the card down to put it on the table

or put the car down so when I'm

practicing with my daughter and this is

a bit more difficult because this

requires her to do things as well but

showing like if you have a deck of cards

right now I can put a card down put one

card down put two cards down put two

cards down so i'm putting them down pick

them up put them down and when you're

practicing with something like this you

can do the exact same thing whether

you're trying to improve for yourself

you're trying to help someone else so i

can pick up a card or I can put a card

down now if i move these over again I'm

trying to move something but when i'm

moving something in a casual

conversation away i can move

over so i would just move over the deck

of cards remove the deck of cards over

and again i'm talking showing you how

you can split these phrasal verbs up

some of them are separable which means

you can separate them like split up or

to split something up or you can't

separate them in some cases and these

are things that you just learned by

practice by listening to them and

reviewing them over and over get so now

i have some cards on the table and what

am I doing here right now I'm taking

something and I'm doing what what is

this action

what is this action right here so if you

think about well i'm turning a card now

that the turning like the rotation is

like this i'm turning something like

this so even though it's facing in one

direction like this i'm turning over i'm

turning the card over now you can also

say to flip the card over flip the card

over now when we think about taking a

phrasal verb like this this is the way

native speakers communicate normally and

we take a verb like turn or flip or toss

or grab and then we're using kind of

different levels of the language

depending on how how we're actually

moving so right now if I'm moving very

slowly and deliberately and like I would

actually turn something I'm turning it

over but maybe if I want to do something

faster i would flip the card over so i

can pick the card up and turn the card

over or i can pick the card up and flip

the card over flip the card over flip

the card over and my flipping the card

over

yes I am so I'm flipping the card over

or turning the card over so i can flip

the card over i cant off the card over

you know anything like that and you can

create your own phrasal verbs in this

way

learning to think in the same way that a

phrasal verb would be used or that the

same way that a native speaker would use

phrasal verbs in everyday situation so

now i have a kind of group of cards and

now I'm going to align them i'm going to

stack them or in a more conversational

way you would say you stack them up so

i'm going to stack up the card stack up

stack up the cards like this so if i

have different piles of cards

excuse me I'm going to stack them up

like this so you can stack the cards but

eight more conversational way of saying

this is to stack something up stack

something up now up isn't necessary but

this is just a way that native speakers

communicate and again when you're saying

something like clean up or eat up these

are just ways of adding something to

make it sound more conversational and

native so I'm going to stack up the

cards or I'm going to put the cards down

like this i'm going to put the cards

down in different piles so i can stack

up or i can pile up

pile-up so if i have a pile of cards now

this is more of a stack because it's a

little bit cleaner but if it's a little

bit more messy like this maybe I have a

pile of cards on the table so I have a

pile of cards or a stack of cards if i'm

a bit neater with it a stack of cards

now it doesn't matter if you're using

something where you're saying well is

this a pile of cards or a stack of cards

you don't have to think so much about

okay what is the correct phrasal verb

because most times people will

understand what you're saying

the important thing is just to

understand more that the way we're

talking about a card or any other thing

in a particular sense so i'm just using

cards like this for an example but i'm

turning a card over or I'm flipping the

card over or in this case i'm turning a

card around around turning a card around

so in this case it's one of those things

like if you think about you know

something like a cap we're seeing the

same side of it and we're rotating the

object like this so I'm turning it

around or I'm turning it around now if I

want to do something faster i might spin

it around as in the case of the card

again we have the same idea of taking

one thing we're talking about around so

we're focusing on the adjective here

moving something around or the you know

the way of expressing something and then

we're changing the verb that goes along

with that fraserburgh so to go along

with this is another phrasal verb that

just means to be connected so I have one

card in this card goes along with that

car

this card goes along with this card this

card goes along with these two cards so

if i have a card and I'm turning it

around you can see the same side of it i

turn the car around

I'm turning the car around am i turning

the car around yes i am turning the car

around or I can turn the card over so

again i'm turning over or I'm turning

over or I'm turning over this way it

doesn't really matter but you're showing

the opposite side of something so the

over becomes ok i'm showing the opposite

side of a deck of cards so i'm showing

where the opposite side of a card in

this case so I'm turning over the card

and I'm turning the card around turn

around turn around

so this is the same way if this is your

head and you're standing like this and

turning like this you're turning around

but if you're lying on your back or your

stomach

let's say I go get a massage and the

person says can you please turn over

there not asking me to turn around

they're asking me to turn over or

someone could say could you please flip

over and I'm moving a little bit faster

like that so all of these things when

you're trying to learn more complicated

verbs it doesn't matter like what is it

to rotate or to you want to you know be

on the opposite side you can express

things in a more complicated way or you

can do the simple thing that native

speakers do especially children and what

they're doing is combining a small group

of the up kind of similar words or more

simple words

excuse me and then saying them in a more

simple way so I'm taking turn and / or

up or something like that so i can turn

over a card or turn around a card like

this and it's much easier than saying

rotate or to revolve or other words that

are more complicated like this so this

is what it means to be learning

something like a child wouldn't in this

case again i'm just doing things where

I'm manipulating a card and I'm thinking

about what's the what's really happening

here not what is the correct verb but

what am I really doing am i taking a

card am I like bending the card and my

bending over something like that in my

bending over the card or am i turning

over the card or am i turning the card

around and I don't want to give too many

examples in this I just thought it would

be an interesting way

for you to see how i'm working with Aria

as well as for your own self when you're

thinking about learning different

languages pick up a deck of cards like

this and you can do the exact same thing

think about how you would manipulate

card in a particular way

what I take off a card i can take a card

or i can take off a car because you're

removing something from a stack of

something else i'm taking one card off

of something else just like I take a

card off of the table now if i want to

maybe move the card in a different way i

can pick up the card it's a little bit

difficult on this table but i can pick

up the card or i can slide the car there

are lots of different ways i can move it

and then we just combine those with

other words that help us express it in

maybe a more detailed way but it's not

using more complicated language in the

again like the way like this is a word

rotate but i'm turning something around

turning it around

well I hope you have enjoyed this just

again it's a very simple way of thinking

about communication and how you can

learn as well as for practicing as well

as for helping other people learn if you

take just you know stack of uno cards or

any other object like this this is the

case for the microphone that i use for

the camera so I can open something i can

open up i can open up the case again

when i add up to that it doesn't really

change anything about what I'm saying

but it just makes it sound a bit more

kind of relaxed and casual and

conversational so open up the case or

close the case or I can turn it around

or turn it over or maybe turn it up like

this so i want to have it kind of up on

one side so in the same way that I'm

just it doesn't matter if I'm really

being correct about what I'm saying it's

more can you tell someone to do

something and then would they be able to

produce that actions are you

communicating the correct meaning even

if it's not using maybe a phrasal verb

that most people would know anyway
