English expressions for SUMMER! - Lingoda Language Marathon Returns! #SPON

Do you remember the movie die hard 3?

These German terrorists are trying to

rob a bank and then a cop comes into the bank almost ruining everything

so the German terrorists

they have to convince the American cop that they are actually Americans

but then one of the terrorists says this

and he ruined it

"Raining dogs and cats" No!

1: it's "Raining cats and dogs"

2: No one says :it's raining cats and dogs" anymore

if your teacher is telling you to say "raining cats and dogs"

please tell them to stop

How can I say "rain a lot"?

we use this structure

"it's something it down" for example:

Pouring! "It's pouring it down outside" So rainy!

"chucking it down"

Chuck means to throw very hard

If don't like swearing, don't watch the next five seconds

my favourite one: "it's pissing it down outside!"

This does not happen very often in England

So as soon as the Sun comes out what do English people do?

The clothes disappear and we do this

Not sunbath

I often hear "sunbath" not that

say it with me sunbathe

an example sentence you might hear in London is

"Plus 10 degrees? I'm going sunbathing"

when you sunbathe, one of two things will happen

maybe you have a nice glow to your skin maybe your skin's a bit darker and a bit sexier

in this case you have a tan

that's the noun

you can use this as a verb for example

Today I'm going to take advantage of the sun and I'm going to tan

also as an adjective

to be tanned

"Look at me! I'm tanned and sexy!"

so you can use it as a noun verb or an adjective

this guy however, not so lucky

if your skin is red after the sun

and it's "ow!" it's painful to touch

you are burned the adjective "burned"

also as a verb

this is how we would say it commonly I got burned

maybe you have seen this word with a T

that's fine too

okay before we continue

are you a hard-working dedicated student if so I have something amazing for you

if you want to improve your English or German, today's sponsor of this video,

Lingoda, are bringing back their amazingly successful language marathon

if you don't know Lingoda, of course you do I've been working with them for a

while now the very cool they're this online language academy they teach

English German French and Spanish with real native teachers online and in this

language marathon they're offering you the chance of mastering your skills in

English or German here's how it works you take 30 group classes per month for

three months and if you stick with that Lingoda will refund the entire cost of

the course, that's 567 euros and that's crazy awesome. It's open to you it's open to

everyone entry into this language marathon is

usually five euros however if you use my code "RUN9" you can find that in the

description you can get it for just fifty cents but spaces are filling fast

just remember when you sign up you commit to paying for the course that's

189 euros per month for three months which already for a language course

that's extremely good all the English schools I've worked at it's never that

cheap this is why it's very important you only sign up if you can commit to 30

group classes per month for 3 months if you know you can do that this is for you

if you want to do the language marathon in German you have until the

18th of May to sign up that language marathon starts the 1st of June until

the 31st of August but for English students you should sign up soon

registration closes April 19th and the language marathon for English runs from

the 2nd of May until the 31st of July in addition if during the first two weeks

of signing up you decide for whatever reason actually I really can't do this

you can cancel your course and it's no problem so if you missed your chance

last time here's another chance you'll also find a link to all the terms and

all the details in the description make sure you check that out before signing

up ok back to the lesson

let's talk about the heat

when it's so hot and this happens to you you are

"Sweating". Pronunciation!

I often hear "Sweet", "Sweeting" no!

"Sweating"

The verb "sweat"

and how can he talk about the heat?

yes I can say "It's hot"

but more than hot

"It's baking", "It's sweltering"

Say it with me, pronunciation! "Baking"

that's a difficult one "sweltering"

this is not as common as this, but it's fun to say

and of course we like to be creative

so we could say "it's hot as hell" for example

or replace that word for any swear word

all the bad words which are nouns

Replace that with those, and you're good

those words

of course I know some of you don't like swearing that's fine

however I really really enjoy it

and this is English this is what we naturally say

okay but how about some expressions?

that's what you came for, let's do that

let's imagine that you have a friend

I'm sure you have a friend

when times are good when everything is great no problems no nothing

they are your best friend

but maybe one day you have a problem you have some trouble

you really need your friend to help you

"Please help me, I need you! I have a problem!"

"Meh! No!"

this type of friend

In good times, your best friend

In bad times, they disappear

this is what we call

A fair-weather friend

of course it's not a good thing

they are only your friend during the good times

the bad times, bye-bye friend

if you have a story about your Fair-weather friend, write it in the comments

sometimes the weather in London is a little bit crazy

and we get storms

we have an expression with storms

Let's imagine that something great happens to you

You got a great job, everyone is super happy for you, this is your moment!

But then!

But then your friend is like "hey! everyone pay attention to me!"

"Something amazing happened to ME!

baby in there!"

this person is taking the attention away from the other person

in that case, they...

steal your thunder

or steal his thunder, steal her thunder

basically to take the attention away from something else

and put it on themselves

Has anyone ever stolen your thunder?
