Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, we are going to talk about personalities,
0
2129
8082
00:10
we're going to talk about looks, we're going to talk about all the ways you can describe
1
10237
4973
00:15
the girl of your dreams. Okay? The woman you like, the person you have a crush on. So,
2
15210
6020
00:21
we're going to talk specifically about women and how guys can talk about them to their
3
21230
5595
00:26
friends.
4

00:28
So, imagine this: you're sitting in your English class and a new girl walks in, and immediately,
5
28443
8991
00:37
you've fallen in love. You think this girl is great, maybe you want to go on a date with
6
37460
5610
00:43
her, you tell your friends about it. So, your friend will ask you: "Oh, tell me what the
7
43070
6300
00:49
girl's like. Tell me, what's she like?" Okay? "Tell me what she's like." And your response,
8
49370
7525
00:56
you're going to tell them a whole bunch of descriptive words. So, I have some words about
9
56921
6179
01:03
looks, I have some words about personality, and I have some other expressions.
10
63126
6484
01:10
So, let's get started. Okay? One way you can describe someone you like, of course, is what
11
70016
6908
01:16
they look like. You can say a girl is "hot". Okay? This isn't just temperature. We use
12
76950
7133
01:24
it a lot. Well, guys use it a lot when they talk about girls. "Ah, she's hot." Okay?
13
84109
6359
01:30
You can say: "She's gorgeous." Gorgeous, not georgeous, gor, gorgeous. It's like beautiful.
14
90494
7458
01:37
Okay, so she's hot, she's gorgeous, she's "fine". You know in English, we say: -"How
15
97978
7155
01:45
are you?" -"I'm fine"? Well, when you say a girl is fine, you're saying she's hot; she
16
105159
4820
01:49
looks good.
17
109979
1482
01:52
"Oh, she's cute.", "She's sexy.", "She's smoking hot." Or just: "She's smoking." Okay? All
18
112274
10484
02:02
of these expressions mean-I'm going to draw a picture-when you see her, you feel like
19
122784
7280
02:10
this because the way she looks is so good.
20
130090
5530
02:15
You can also... Don't say this in front of the girl. Okay? Whatever you do, don't say
21
135620
5100
02:20
this in front of the girl, but when you're with your friends, you can also give her a
22
140720
4905
02:25
number. Some guys say: "Oh, she's a ten." Meaning: she's perfect. "She's a nine." She's
23
145651
8143
02:33
still good. "She's an eight." Enh. If you like the girl, you're probably not going to
24
153820
5950
02:39
say she's a three; that wouldn't be nice. But this is sometimes how guys talk to her
25
159770
5040
02:44
friends, they say: "Oh, she's a ten. She's great."
26
164810
3266
02:48
You can also describe a woman based on her hair colour. "Oh, she's a blonde." Okay? I'm
27
168857
5283
02:54
a blonde. "She's a red-head." If the girl has red hair, she's a red-head. What about
28
174140
8184
03:02
somebody with dark brown hair? We would call them "a brunette". Okay? So, we have "a blonde",
29
182350
6330
03:08
and notice the "a", "a red-head", and-I guess I didn't write it-"brunette" is someone with
30
188680
8994
03:17
brown hair. Okay? Also, when I said: "a ten", "a nine", "an eight", you need "a". All right,
31
197700
9221
03:26
great.
32
206947
910
03:27
So, after you tell your friends about how beautiful she is. "She's gorgeous, she's hot,
33
207883
4767
03:32
she's sexy." After you tell them this, you will probably talk about personality, if you
34
212650
4840
03:37
don't talk about it first. So, personality, what are some personality words you might
35
217490
5430
03:42
use to describe the girl you like? Well, this one isn't the nicest word, but some guys like
36
222920
6980
03:49
girls who are "high-maintenance". These are the girls that they want the man to pay for
37
229900
7694
03:57
everything, they expect presents every birthday. Well, not just birthdays; people expect presents
38
237620
5890
04:03
on their birthdays. Maybe every day they want a present, every day they need you to tell
39
243510
5280
04:08
them how much you love them. These are the girls that you have to work hard to keep.
40
248790
6840
04:15
Okay? They're the girls that want you to buy them maybe a diamond ring, a diamond necklace.
41
255630
6700
04:22
So you have to pay a lot of attention to these girls, they are high-maintenance. They are
42
262708
5852
04:28
not easy to be with; you have to work hard.
43
268560
5154
04:34
The opposite of high-maintenance is someone who is "low-maintenance". This is somebody
44
274432
4568
04:39
who if you don't give them a present, they don't really care, it's okay. They're easygoing.
45
279000
9204
04:48
They... You don't have to spend all your time with them. If you forget to call them on the
46
288368
5325
04:53
phone, they're not going to get very angry. They're easygoing, they're low-maintenance.
47
293719
6377
05:00
You can also call a girl "sporty". "Oh, she's sporty." You probably know the word "sport",
48
300799
6265
05:07
if a girl is "sporty" it means she likes sports.
49
307090
4541
05:12
You can also say a girl is "talkative". Someone who is talkative talks a lot. I'm a very talkative
50
312435
8191
05:20
person.
51
320652
1278
05:22
"Social", she's social. If she is social it means that she likes to be around people,
52
322900
7594
05:30
she has many friends, she's always hanging out with her friends. She spends a lot of
53
330520
4160
05:34
time with her friends, she's social.
54
334680
2332
05:38
A girl can also be "laid-back". If she's laid-back it means she's very relaxed, she's easygoing,
55
338293
8631
05:46
she's relaxed, she's low-maintenance. You don't feel stressed when you're with her,
56
346950
5810
05:53
she's laid-back.
57
353268
1978
05:55
Sometimes we will just say a girl, "Oh, she's cool. She's cool." Maybe she dresses nice.
58
355606
7004
06:03
She's just a good person, easy to talk to, she's cool.
59
363492
6327
06:10
A girl can also be "a tomboy". A tomboy is a girl who's very much like a boy in terms
60
370900
8324
06:19
of the fact that she loves sports, maybe she doesn't wear dresses, she wears t-shirts,
61
379250
7821
06:27
she's very athletic, she likes to drink beer and watch football. We would say she's a tomboy.
62
387097
7352
06:35
We can also talk about party girls. If she's "a party girl", she loves to party. She goes
63
395915
6679
06:42
to the parties and she drinks, she dances. She's a party girl, she loves to party.
64
402620
6171
06:50
There's also a "girly girl". "Yeah, she's a girly girl" means she loves the colour pink,
65
410330
7240
06:58
she loves shopping, she loves watching romance movies, she likes to do things that are very
66
418164
9610
07:07
stereotypically girly. She likes girly things, she's a girly girl.
67
427800
4419
07:13
You might also describe a woman, if you're adventurous, as "freaky". So it's an "e" sound,
68
433641
7533
07:21
"freaky". If she's freaky, she's a little strange, but maybe that excites you. A freaky
69
441200
9434
07:30
girl can be very exciting.
70
450660
2001
07:33
We also have the words... When we're talking about specific... About the body, you can
71
453497
7013
07:40
use the word: "killer". "Killer" you might think "enh, enh, enh", no, that's not what
72
460510
5140
07:45
I'm talking about. When I say: "killer", I mean it means very good. Okay? In this case,
73
465650
6400
07:52
"killer" means very good. So, you can say: "She has killer legs. She has a killer smile.
74
472050
10771
08:02
She has a killer body." Okay? Guys often talk about looks, and so they will often say: "She
75
482847
6733
08:09
has a killer", whatever. You probably wouldn't say something like: "She has killer feet",
76
489580
5350
08:14
that might be a little strange. You would probably say: "Killer legs, body, smile".
77
494956
5241
08:20
You can also, if you're very much in love with this girl, you think she's incredible,
78
500669
6041
08:26
you can say: "She's something else." So: "She's something else." Meaning: you can't even describe
79
506710
9594
08:36
her, she's just something else. I actually really like this one, I think this one's the
80
516330
5354
08:41
sweetest. All right?
81
521710
3006
08:45

82
525185
