Natural English: 5 Easy Idioms You Can Learn TODAY!

Hey. Yep, it's me. Tomorrow? A movie? Yeah, I'm up for it. Okay. Yeah, no, no, I'm gonna

come. I'm in. I'm in. Okay, perfect. Seven o'clock. All right, see you there. Bye.

All right, I'm gonna see a movie. Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking and welcome

to this lesson on five quick English idioms that you can use in your daily life. So, all

five of the sentences I give you in this video are very common in casual situations among

friends or colleagues. So, the first two, we have "I'm in" and "I'm out", and you can

express your interest or your desire to participate in an activity or your ability to participate

in an activity with these sentences. So, if you say "I'm in", you're saying that I want

to and I can participate in an activity. So, I was talking to my friend. They asked

me if I wanted to see a movie. I said, "I'm in." Okay? So, that means, yeah, I can come.

I want to come. So, do you want to see a movie? Sure. I'm in. I am confirming my interest

and confirming my participation. By the way, before we go any further, make sure you like

video in the description where you can pick up a copy of my idioms book called 200 Practical

English Idioms. I think you'll really like it. So, check it out. And now, back to your

regularly scheduled programming with "I'm out". So, "I'm out" means I don't want to

and/or I can't participate in something. So, for example, $200 for a concert ticket? Sorry,

I'm out. This means I'm not going. It's too expensive for me. I don't have $200 for a

concert. I can't participate. You can also say "I'm out" like in the middle of an activity

because you feel uncomfortable with the situation. In card games, for example, if you're at a

casino and you're playing for money and you don't have any more money left, you can say,

"Ugh, I'm out. I can't play anymore." You can also, again, be in the middle of an activity

and something happens that makes you uncomfortable or feel weird and you can say,

"Okay, you guys, if you want to keep doing this, you can go ahead. But me? This is

uncomfortable for me. I'm out." Okay? So, I don't want to participate. I can't participate. Again,

I can't, like $200? Sorry, I'm out. It's too much. Next, "I'm up for it". So,

if you're up for something, when you're up, you have energy. You're awake. So,

if you are up for something, you have the energy for something and you have the desire

to participate in something. So, for example, I'm interested and I have the energy for it. So,

"Are you up for a game of tennis?" "Yeah, I'm up for it." Okay? So, sure,

I'm up for it. Your friend is asking you to play tennis or soccer or hockey, basketball,

whatever the sport is, and if you think like, "Yeah, you know what? I'm not doing anything.

I feel like playing tennis. I feel like playing hockey or soccer." If you have a feeling for it

and you have the energy for it, you're up for it. So, if your friends ask you to go out and,

you know, they give you different options and they say, "Oh, do you want to go to the dance club

or do you want to go to the cafe?" And the cafe is quieter than the dance club.

So, you might say, "You know what? I'm not up for dancing. Like, I don't have the energy

or I don't have the feeling, the desire to go and dance." So, you can say, "I'm not really up

for dancing tonight." Maybe, you know, you feel sad or something or you just don't have the energy,

but "I'm up for coffee though." So, if you are up for coffee, like, "Yeah, I have an interest in

going out for coffee. I have the energy and I can do it." All right, "I'm into it." So,

if you are into something, you enjoy it. You might have a passion for it, a deep interest in

it. You can also be into something in the moment. Like, if you are enjoying a new video game,

you can say, "Oh, I'm really into this." Or a new music album, "Oh, I'm really into this song."

Or a movie or a TV series, you can say, "Oh, I'm really into this TV show right now.

Are you done?" "No, no. I'm on episode five, but it's so good. I'm really into it." Like,

you are there. You are completely engaged and compelled to continue watching this TV show.

You are into it. So, for example, my friend, she's really into the new Taylor Swift album.

It's like, yeah, she keeps talking about it. She keeps singing the songs. Like, she's into it.

She's enjoying it. She's passionate about it. She's interested in it. She's, you know,

she's into it. So, I hope you are into this video right now. On a scale of one to 10,

how into this video are you? Are you like six out of 10 into it? Are you 10 out of 10 into it?

11 out of 10? Let me know. And then finally, "I'm out of it." So, if you are out of it,

not out of something, out of it, you must say, "I'm out of it."

You are not focused, not fit, or present in the moment. Now, you're not present in the moment

or focused in the moment because of some factor like fatigue. You might be tired. So, you can say,

"Ugh, I didn't sleep last night. So, my mind is not really here. I'm not here. I'm not fully

present. I'm not focused." You can say, "I'm out of it." Okay? You can be out of it because of

other factors as well, not just fatigue. So, you can be out of it due to substances such as drugs

or alcohol. You can say, "Oh, he's really out of it because, you know, he drank too much,"

or something like that. So, if you're out of it, you might be tired. You might not be mentally

present. You might be depressed. There are many things that can make you feel not focused in the

moment. So, if your friend asks you a question, you're like, "Hey, come on. I asked you a question."

You say, "What?" You say, "What? What? Oh, sorry. I'm really out of it today." Maybe you're thinking

about a job interview or a bad social experience that you had. So, "Sorry, I'm out of it today."

You're not focused. You're not yourself. You probably just need to get some sleep.

All right. So, one more time, let's repeat these sentences after me so that you can feel more

confident and comfortable in your next casual English interaction, especially if someone invites

you to something or you want to talk about your level of engagement, your level of interest in

something. So, repeat after me, "I'm in." "$200, I'm out." "Tennis, I'm up for it."

"I'm really into it."

"Sorry, I'm out of it."
