Hey guys, I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking and
welcome to this lesson on talking about getting

excited. So this is a quick slang lesson and
we're going to learn two words to talk about
1
8000
6120
00:14
getting excited. If you're tired about just
saying, "I'm excited about this. I'm excited
2
14120
4740
00:18
to do this." I'm going to give you two words
that are going to help you out and increase
3
18860
4260
00:23
your vocabulary in informal situations. Those
two words are pumped and psyched. Psyched.
4
23120
9200
00:32
Very focused. So instead of saying excited,
you can use these two words. You can be pumped
5
32320
5400
00:37
for something or you can be psyched for something.
So imagine that you're going to a party. You
6
37720
5760
00:43
can say, "I'm pumped for the party. I am pumped."
Very excited. "I'm psyched about the party.
7
43480
7540
00:51
I am so psyched about the party or for the
party." "I'm pumped to go to the party. I'm
8
51020
5420
00:56
psyched about going to the party." So you
have one, two, three, four different ways
9
56440
5880
01:02
that you can use pumped and psyched. For one,
you can follow them with an infinitive. So
10
62320
6160
01:08
here, "I'm pumped" or "I'm psyched to go to
the party." You can follow them with four
11
68480
7280
01:15
plus a noun. So for example, "I'm pumped for
the party." "I'm psyched for the party." You
12
75760
6480
01:22
can also follow them with "about" plus a gerund
or a noun. So let's look at the gerund, "I'm
13
82240
6080
01:28
psyched about going to the party." Now, if
you want to increase your excitement, if you
14
88320
6960
01:35
want to emphasize how psyched you are, how
pumped you are, it can help to add some adverbs.
15
95280
8120
01:43
Now I know you know the adverbs like "very"
and "really." Like, "I'm really excited."
16
103400
5160
01:48
"I'm very excited." You can say, "I'm very
psyched." "I'm really psyched." "I'm really
17
108560
5080
01:53
pumped." "I'm very pumped." Another one that
you can use and that we use all the time really
18
113640
6680
02:00
is "so," "really," or "completely." So, "I'm
really pumped." "I'm totally psyched." "I'm
19
120320
6880
02:07
completely pumped about going." Okay? So guys,
