- Hello, everyone.
1
10661
862
00:11
Welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
11523
2163
00:13
You might notice that I'm in
3
13686
1281
00:14
a slightly different location today.
4
14967
2673
00:17
I'm actually in the studios of Los Cuarenta,
5
17640
4205
00:21
and I've got a very special guest.
6
21845
1301
00:23
His name is Uri Sabat and,
7
23146
2670
00:25
well, Uri, introduce yourself.
8
25816
1849
00:27
- Yeah, how are you doing?
9
27665
1353
00:29
Nice to meet you guys here.
10
29018
1976
00:30
I'm Uri Sabat, I'm from Spain.
11
30994
1647
00:32
I work here in Los Cuarenta, which is a radio station,
12
32641
2845
00:35
the number one radio station in Spain,
13
35486
2165
00:37
and tonight, we had Lucy as a guest star of our show,
14
37651
3291
00:40
and she's quite good at Spanish, at least.
15
40942
3341
00:44
- Thank you.
16
44283
1408
00:45
You're making me blush.
17
45691
999
00:46
- [Uri] Ah, really good.
18
46690
1230
00:47
- No, it was really, really good fun,
19
47920
1591
00:49
and I'm going to leave a little link
20
49511
1729
00:51
down to that interview in the description box,
21
51240
2032
00:53
if you want to check that out.
22
53272
1615
00:54
But I thought, today, since so many of you
23
54887
1688
00:56
have been asking me about
24
56575
1268
00:57
presenting and presentation skills,
25
57843
2337
01:00
who better to ask than Uri,
26
60180
2296
01:02
who does it every single day of his life?
27
62476
2732
01:05
Would you mind sharing a little bit with us?
28
65208
1382
01:06
- Of course, yeah.
29
66590
833
01:07
Well, the thing is that,
30
67423
1981
01:09
well, I do it every day here on the radio.
31
69404
3026
01:12
We have the chance to interview big artists
32
72430
4002
01:16
such as Justin Bieber, Coldplay,
33
76432
3134
01:19
Ariana Grande, One Direction.
34
79566
3247
01:22
- I saw you interviewed Justin Bieber.
35
82813
2591
01:25
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was funny
36
85404
1748
01:27
'cause he was here, sitting here,
37
87152
3045
01:30
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38
90197
833
01:31
- [Lucy] Oh my god.
39
91030
833
01:31
- Yeah, don't steal the chair, Lucy.
40
91863
1222
01:33
- Well, I can't promise anything.
41
93085
1068
01:34
- Okay, so yeah, we have the chance
42
94153
2977
01:37
to meet really interesting people,
43
97130
1768
01:38
and the fact to present or to speak with artists or whatever
44
98898
4310
01:43
is just be prepared, know the people you have in front,
45
103208
4528
01:47
is a really important thing.
46
107736
2347
01:50
If you have to present something,
47
110083
1433
01:51
or if you have to interview someone,
48
111516
2543
01:54
you should know that person.
49
114059
2333
01:57
- So how do you research them?
50
117293
1394
01:58
- Oh, if it's someone really known,
51
118687
2917
02:02
you just Google it, and there's a lot of information.
52
122577
3140
02:05
Also, there's a lot of interviews.
53
125717
1696
02:07
Then you can get some ideas from there.
54
127413
3250
02:12
But the thing is to create a good connection
55
132268
4342
02:16
with the person, you know, 'cause maybe
56
136610
2553
02:19
I'm talking to you, and if I ask you
57
139163
2433
02:21
some weird questions, or if I go too straight
58
141596
4368
02:25
to some aspects that maybe you don't like,
59
145964
2358
02:28
then, on the first, you cover yourself, and you don't ...
60
148322
3872
02:32
- Yeah, you put up a sort of wall.
61
152194
1585
02:33
- [Uri] Yeah, of course.
62
153779
1133
02:34
- Well, when I came in here, I felt so welcome immediately.
63
154912
3325
02:38
Everyone said hello, and it made me
64
158237
1962
02:40
want to answer the more particular questions.
65
160199
2996
02:43
- Yeah, your answer that you had ...
66
163195
2429
02:45
Well, I don't want to say anything, okay?
67
165624
3495
02:49
- You can say whatever.
68
169119
833
02:49
I can just cut it out.
69
169952
1671
02:51
- Okay, you should see our video in Spanish
70
171623
2441
02:54
and translate it. (laughs)
71
174064
1301
02:55
- No, guys, don't.
72
175365
1016
02:56
No, do, do, do, do.
73
176381
1149
02:57
So, what I want to know is,
74
177530
2061
02:59
so many of my students have trouble with confidence,
75
179591
3079
03:02
especially when speaking in English.
76
182670
2648
03:05
How do you deal with that, and have you found yourself
77
185318
2115
03:07
getting more confident as you go along?
78
187433
2296
03:09
- Yeah, the thing is that
79
189729
934
03:10
if English is not your first language,
80
190663
2195
03:12
then maybe you ...
81
192858
1500
03:15
For example, you're not confident if you have to speak
82
195479
2133
03:17
in front of a lot of people in your own language.
83
197612
2743
03:20
Imagine if you have to do it in another language, right?
84
200355
4319
03:24
The main thing is that, everybody see that
85
204674
3500
03:29
you are not an English speaker,
86
209855
1980
03:31
so don't worry about doing any mistakes
87
211835
2212
03:34
'cause it's not your first language,
88
214047
2846
03:36
and the crowd will accept that, right?
89
216893
3167
03:41
The main thing you have to think about it is,
90
221321
3502
03:44
try to express yourself as much as you can,
91
224823
4099
03:48
not just with words, but with your body.
92
228922
3333
03:53
Maybe you can think about, if you are doing a presentation,
93
233463
4167
03:58
or if you are talking to an audience,
94
238510
3510
04:02
maybe you should take something to show them,
95
242020
3750
04:07
or give some key things that help you
96
247009
3645
04:10
to present your subject or whatever.
97
250654
2399
04:13
- Yeah, okay.
98
253053
1400
04:14
Have you ever had any bad experiences speaking English?
99
254453
4770
04:19
- Oh, yeah, well,
100
259223
1321
04:20
the thing is that, I will tell you that, guys,
101
260544
2824
04:23
we met Lucy in a YouTube event in London.
102
263368
3417
04:28
She was wonderful with us, yeah, of course.
103
268224
4252
04:32
We had to speak in English in front of an English crowd,
104
272476
4167
04:37
and first of all, my colleague, Miguel, and me,
105
277549
3483
04:41
we were like, "Okay, we will try our best,"
106
281032
4123
04:45
and maybe we did some mistakes,
107
285155
1302
04:46
but we didn't care about it.
108
286457
1673
04:48
- It was excellent.
109
288130
1018
04:49
It was really, really good.
110
289148
1209
04:50
- So in fact, if you are in front of an audience,
111
290357
2785
04:53
and you do some mistakes, the first thing is
112
293142
3135
04:56
not to collapse, and then try to go away from that path,
113
296277
4443
05:00
because if you are blocked or whatever,
114
300720
2366
05:03
and you keep pushing there,
115
303086
2287
05:05
then you will fail for sure.
116
305373
2333
05:08
So take a breath, stay calm,
117
308589
3163
05:11
and try to go on the other way.
118
311752
2581
05:14
- I completely agree with that because,
119
314333
1408
05:15
as you guys know, I've just had
120
315741
1384
05:17
my first ever presenting experience,
121
317125
2287
05:19
the Unleashed Conference, and when I walked out there
122
319412
3463
05:22
for the first time, I felt really, really nervous,
123
322875
1941
05:24
but I started thinking,
124
324816
1350
05:26
"These guys aren't here to see me fail.
125
326166
1707
05:27
"They're here to see me succeed,"
126
327873
1289
05:29
and that really, really helped.
127
329162
1291
05:30
I felt like I had a connection,
128
330453
1379
05:31
that they were there for me.
129
331832
1648
05:33
- Of course.
130
333480
833
05:34
I think that the first minute or the first five minutes,
131
334313
2478
05:36
maybe, you can be a little bit scared,
132
336791
3081
05:39
or nervous, or whatever, but then,
133
339872
2264
05:42
you have to be confident, think that you know the subject,
134
342136
4127
05:46
you are the best person to be there,
135
346263
2053
05:48
and you just need to be yourself
136
348316
1708
05:50
and try to explain everybody what you have in your mind.
137
350024
3903
05:53
Relax, try to enjoy it, and go ahead.
138
353927
3300
05:57
- Okay, wonderful.
139
357227
1210
05:58
Can I ask you how you learned English,
140
358437
2621
06:01
how you got to this amazing level?
141
361058
1586
06:02
- Well, I think you always can improve more,
142
362644
3667
06:07
and be more confident with your English,
143
367634
1719
06:09
or Spanish, or whatever you are learning,
144
369353
2723
06:12
but the thing is that, for my job,
145
372076
1634
06:13
I had to work with the English language so often,
146
373710
4083
06:19
so I tried always to see English movies.
147
379498
3244
06:22
I studied on the school also.
148
382742
3010
06:25
I went to London, I lived there
149
385752
2354
06:28
for a couple of months or something.
150
388106
2145
06:30
- Oh, cool, where did you live?
151
390251
1361
06:31
- I lived in the centre of London.
152
391612
1228
06:32
I was 18 years old,
153
392840
1282
06:34
and yeah, I went there to ...
154
394122
2417
06:37
I was a waiter in London when I was 18 years old.
155
397463
2612
06:40
- Which restaurant?
156
400075
883
06:40
Can we ask?
157
400958
874
06:41
- Yeah, it was called Zizi.
158
401832
2250
06:44
- Zizi, oh my god, yes.
159
404920
1917
06:48
- I was a pizza guy, and I had a lot of fun.
160
408304
3291
06:51
We enjoy it, and then,
161
411595
1312
06:52
if you go abroad and you go to the country
162
412907
2773
06:55
where you're learning the language,
163
415680
1935
06:57
then you can begin, and then practise, practise.
164
417615
3300
07:00
- See, I think that's so cool,
165
420915
1088
07:02
that you were working as a waiter in London because,
166
422003
2365
07:04
at the moment, when you go to London,
167
424368
1261
07:05
it's full of Spanish people, and Italians,
168
425629
3445
07:09
a lot of Spanish and Italians,
169
429074
1018
07:10
there's a lot of other nationalities as well,
170
430092
2703
07:12
going there to improve their English,
171
432795
1918
07:14
but in the end, they end up socialising
172
434713
1685
07:16
with other Spaniards, going out with them,
173
436398
3345
07:19
working with them, living with them,
174
439743
1431
07:21
and they don't seem to improve.
175
441174
1179
07:22
Did you find that at all?
176
442353
1332
07:23
- Yeah, well, the thing is that I went
177
443685
1756
07:25
with my friends, so we went, five guys.
178
445441
2458
07:27
I remember I went there with 300 euros,
179
447899
3332
07:31
and the last day, the 15th day,
180
451231
2583
07:35
I just had 20 bucks in my pocket,
181
455093
3178
07:38
and I said, "Wow, my friends have job,
182
458271
1929
07:40
"I don't have anything.
183
460200
1190
07:41
"I will have to return to Barcelona."
184
461390
2713
07:44
And I said, "No, no, I have to stay here,"
185
464103
1789
07:45
and then I got that job, but finally,
186
465892
2855
07:48
you socialise with English people,
187
468747
2672
07:51
and you spend all the money you earn every night,
188
471419
3686
07:55
so it's funny. (laughs)
189
475105
2092
07:57
- Wonderful, and very important question,
190
477197
2897
08:00
do you have a favourite word in English?
191
480094
3698
08:03
It's difficult, I know.
192
483792
1451
08:05
- It's difficult, but there is a word.
193
485243
2701
08:07
It's a little bit strange word,
194
487944
1790
08:09
but I learn it last day.
195
489734
1717
08:11
It's obnoxious.
196
491451
1250
08:13
- Oh, that is a good word, obnoxious.
197
493637
2560
08:16
- Yeah. - Nice.
198
496197
1401
08:17
- Yeah, yeah, obnoxious.
199
