13
42900
2490
طالما لديكم اتصال مستقر بالانترنت
00:45
It's an incredibly affordable way of learning a language,
14
45390
3130
انه منطقي بشكل لا يصدق كطريقة لتعلم اللغة ،
00:48
way cheaper than an offline tutor

00:50

00:52
I have so many people message me each day
17
52120
2110
لدي الكثير من الناس يراسلوني كل يوم
00:54
asking how they meet, and talk to,
18
54230
1860
يسالون كيف يمكنهم ان يقابلو
00:56
and practise with native speakers.
19
56090
2150
وممارسة والتدريب مع الناطقين بها.
00:58
Italki is a really good option
20
58240
1890
Italki هوا حقا خيار جيد
01:00
because they have qualified teachers,
21
60130
1770
لان لديهم اساتذه مؤهلين
01:01
but they also have community teachers,
22
61900
1930
ولكن لديهم ايضا مجتمع من الاساتذة
01:03
which will practise conversation with you.
23
63830
1980
والذين سوف يتمرنون على المحادثات معكم
01:05
They've given me an offer to pass onto you,
24
65810
2440
01:08
you can $10 worth of italki credits for free
25
68250
3530
01:11
when you make your first lesson purchase.
26
71780
2810
01:14
All you have to do to get started
27
74590
1410
01:16
is click on the link in the description box.
28
76000
2300
01:18
Right, let's get on with the lesson.
29
78300
1980
01:20
Okay, so the title is pretty shocking,
30
80280
2780
01:23
The Words and Phrases You Must Never Say.
31
83060
2900
01:25
But honestly, if you do want to sound like a native speaker,
32
85960
3250
01:29
or even sound like a very accomplished English student,
33
89210
3230
01:32
you should avoid saying these words and phrases.
34
92440
1770
01:34
Because when students say them,
35
94210
1670
01:35
I immediately think they're at a lower level.
36
95880
2830
01:38
The first phrase that you must never say is,
37
98710
4580
01:43
have you ever been in?
38
103290
2160
01:45
And then the location.
39
105450
1920
01:47
Have you ever been in Italy?
40
107370
1550
01:48
Have you ever been in Istanbul?
41
108920
1700
01:50
Whenever I do a live on Instagram,
42
110620
2570
01:53
I always get asked this exact question.
43
113190
3020
01:56
Of course, I answer it, because I love talking about Italy,
44
116210
2750
01:58
and I have been to Istanbul,
45
118960
1990
02:00
but it shouldn't be in, it's the wrong preposition.
46
120950
3710
02:04
It's not that it doesn't make sense,
47
124660
1970
02:06
it's just not commonly said.
48
126630
2010
02:08
We understand what you're trying to say,
49
128640
1900
02:10
you want to know if I've ever visited or travelled to
50
130540
2940
02:13
Italy, or Istanbul, or wherever it may be,
51
133480
2380
02:15
but, we don't say in, we say to.
52
135860
2470
02:18
Have you ever been to Italy?
53
138330
1470
02:19
Have you ever been to Istanbul?
54
139800
1813
02:22
So yes, really watch out for that one.
55
142540
2230
02:24
Number two, this is another comment I get a lot on Instagram
56
144770
3680
02:28
especially when I upload photos with my boyfriend.
57
148450
3560
02:32
They ask me, is he your husband?
58
152010
2690
02:34
Are you married?
59
154700
1360
02:36
Are you married with Will?
60
156060
1423
02:38
Although it makes sense,
61
158400
1610
02:40
and we understand what you're saying,
62
160010
1930
02:41
married with a person isn't correct,
63
161940
3660
02:45
it should be married to.
64
165600
1590
02:47
It's weird when you think about it.
65
167190
1840
02:49
You should be married with someone,
66
169030
1610
02:50
not to that sounds too formal,
67
170640
2100
02:52
but we say I am married to my husband.
68
172740
3240
02:55
Now, this is why.
69
175980
1360
02:57
If we're using with, I'm married with my husband,
70
177340
2930
03:00
what if I say I am married with kids,
71
180270
2470
03:02
that sounds like I am in a marriage with some children.
72
182740
3880
03:06
However, with in this case, means and also have.
73
186620
3690
03:10
I am married, and I also have kids.
74
190310
3050
03:13
I am married with kids.
75
193360
1633
03:16
Number three.
76
196150
1180
03:17
If I ever ask my students how long
77
197330
2120
03:19
they've been learning English,
78
199450
1660
03:21
I sometimes get the response,
79
201110
1930
03:23
I've been learning English since two years.
80
203040
2320
03:25
Don't worry if you say that to a native,
81
205360
1710
03:27
they're not going to say, what?
82
207070
1680
03:28
They'll understand what you're trying to say,
83
208750
1770
03:30
but it's incorrect.
84
210520
1050
03:31
It should be since a fixed point in time,
85
211570
2770
03:34
so I've been learning English since 2016.
86
214340
3573
03:38
Duration, it needs to be for.
87
218790
2440
03:41
I have been learning English for two years, since 2016.
88
221230
4640
03:46
Another common mistake we can add on to that is during.
89
226890
3190
03:50
I know in some languages like Spanish,
90
230080
2220
03:52
you would say durante dos anos,
91
232300
2080
03:54
but it doesn't work in English.
92
234380
2140
03:56
I wouldn't say I've been learning English during two years,
93
236520
3170
03:59
doesn't work, for.
94
239690
1553
04:02
Talking about for, let's move on to number four.
95
242200
3040
04:05
Teacher Lucy. (chuckles)
96
245240
3150
04:08
Right, it actually makes me sad to talk about this one,
97
248390
3390
04:11
because I think it's so sweet and cute.
98
251780
2950
04:14
But students will often address me as Teacher Lucy,
99
254730
3270
04:18
like hey Teacher Lucy, how are you?
100
258000
2400
04:20
But I feel obliged to tell you guys
101
260400
2260
04:22
that in the UK, if you're trying to learn British English,
102
262660
3410
04:26
we don't address our teachers as Teacher and then name.
103
266070
3780
04:29
Now, I'm not saying don't ever say this,
104
269850
2150
04:32
because obviously in your own country,
105
272000
2650
04:34
it might be very rude not to address your teacher
106
274650
2360
04:37
as Teacher Mary, Teacher Mohammed.
107
277010
2960
04:39
But if you're in the UK, and I think in the US as well,
108
279970
2950
04:42
it's not common to use this to address your teachers.
109
282920
2810
04:45
In a school environment, we would say,
110
285730
3310
04:49
Miss, Misses, Mister, or Mizz.
111
289040
2770
04:51
Mizz is if a woman doesn't want to disclose
112
291810
2490
04:54
if she's married or not, and then the surname.
113
294300
3710
04:58
Or if they've got specific qualifications,
114
298010
2260
05:00
professor or doctor.
115
300270
1850
05:02
In informal language schools,
116
302120
2010
05:04
I would just want to be addressed as Lucy.
117
304130
2480
05:06
If I was teaching in a formal school,
118
306610
1720
05:08
I would be called Miss Earl.
119
308330
2080
05:10
Any other place, Lucy.
120
310410
1830
05:12
Teacher Lucy just isn't used over here.
121
312240
3320
05:15
The last one, number five.
122
315560
2050
05:17
I love it when I receive this question in my classes,
123
317610
3110
05:20
but it's often said incorrectly.
124
320720
2580
05:23
Can you explain me this, can you explain me that?
125
323300
3180
05:26
Now, it should be can you explain this to me?
126
326480
4770
05:31
Can you explain that to me?
127
331250
2643
05:35
Explain me is wrong, explain to me is right.
128
335100
5000
05:40
I would never say explain me your answer,
129
340140
2360
05:42
I would say either explain to me your answer,
130
342500
2850
05:45
or much better, explain your answer to me.
131
345350
3640
05:48
Now there is an exception to this,
132
348990
1690
05:50
and this is pretty advanced,
133
350680
1760
05:52
explain me can exist in one specific context.
134
352440
4810
05:57
So, you have to explain an object.
135
357250
2060
05:59
Explain the object to me,
136
359310
2070
06:01
or explain to me the object.
137
361380
2080
06:03
Now, if me is the object, then yes explain me can exist.
138
363460
5000
06:09
For example, if I was going to see a therapist,
139
369960
2530
06:12
and I was reclining on his sofa,
140
372490
2680
06:15
as I don't understand myself.
141
375170
2090
06:17
Explain me to me. (chuckles)
142
377260
3900
06:21
Yes that would work, but that's quite advanced.
143
381160
3210
06:24
Just know that explain needs an object.
144
384370
4130
06:28
Right, that's it for today's lesson.
145
388500
1980
06:30
Those are the five things that you need to stop saying,
146
390480
2860
06:33
and make a conscious effort to avoid and correct.
147
393340

156
412730
1963
06:55
This is another comment I get a lot on Instagram,
157
415907
2603
06:58
especially when I upload photos with my boyfriend.
158
418510

1591
07:04
You can learn English, and many. (groans)
161
424600
2978
07:07
I sometimes get the response,
162
427578
2042
07:09
I've been learning Englidge.
163
429620
1938
07:11
Lid, Englidge. (groans)
164
431558
2192
07:13
Look at me trying to teach English,
165
433750
833
07:14
I can't even say my own language.
166
434583
