Learn English this Summer!

This is your summer English language  learning official entertainment trailer.

It’s the first week of summer  and I’m off at the beach with  

my husband’s family. They’ve helped me make  lots of videos for you over the years.

This first week of summer, I’m giving you  the preview, the trailer, of all the videos  

coming this summer to YouTube and Facebook.  Let me know in the comments which one you  

are most excited about. So sit back, relax,  and enjoy your English learning preview.

We’re going to do a full analysis of a clip  from a monologue in the movie ‘Barbie’ so we  

can study how spoken English is different in  a speech, or when there is more emotion.

and every single other woman tie herself  into knots so that people will like us.

There’s going to be a real English lesson from  a trip I took to Spain with my husband.

I’m going to pretend to shoot  an arrow out of this.

Got em’.

This surface it pretty rough. Also, Steve  said it’s roughly $10 a day to rent a bike.

Despite some setbacks,

I never slept. I never slept. I honestly  don’t know if there have been any nights  

in my life like that where I’ve slept  zero minutes. And I’m going to be honest,  

I’m starting to get a little  annoyed with everything.

It’s not fun.

Despite some setbacks we had a great time,  and David made some killer Paella.

David, should I put lemon  on either of these things,  

both of these things or is it just for show?

The Paella.

Okay, looks fantastic, I went  for the vegetarian one.

So the full English lesson vlog from  that trip will be coming this summer.

We’re going to be doing lots of studying  of real English conversation this summer  

with a full analysis. Chatting  with my friend about Sports.

I don’t like to golf.

Cleaning a stain on my floor.

I just spilled something on my carpet,  unfortunately, in my office, right in the middle.

Since I take a lot of road trips over the summer,  

you’ll also get an analysis  from ordering at a drive thru.

Salt, pepper, ketchup in the bag.

And ordering dinner over the phone.

And pico, guac, and chips. Oh, and  also one side of beans and rice.

Mmm, just listening to that  order is making me hungry.

One of my favorite summer videos is all about you.  Many of you on YouTube recorded an English dialogue  

for me, I’ve already made one video using that  as a teaching tool and another one is on the way.

Going to wait. Not wrong but I  believe in the dialogue I said:

Alright, I’m going to wait in the car.

Gonna wait, gonna, gonna. Do try to use  gonna, wanna, gotta in spoken English,  

they just add a very nice casual conversational  tone. Very natural in spoken American English.

Did you submit a video for me? If so, thank you.

I took another trip with my  colleague Tom to Salt Lake City.

Oh, hey!

For a YouTube conference to meet  up where we took an extra day to  

go on a tour of Antelope Island in the Great  Salt Lake where we got eaten alive by bugs.

Are you getting bitten?

Oh yeah.

Pull your sleeves down.

Great call, but it’s actually  on the top of my hand.

Oh, well then do this.

Oh my gosh really?

Yeah, really.

We also got to see some buffalo and  went on a short hike at sunset. So be  

on the lookout for that English lesson vlog.

And because I like the real-life  English lessons so much,  

I’m also going to create a vlog from a work  trip I took to a conference this spring.

Rachel,

Hi, nice to meet you. I’m vlogging so you’re,  you may make the final cut or you may not.

It probably won’t. Thank you  so much for being here.

Yeah, of course. Thank you, I’m excited.

Actually, I even spoke at the conference.

I also met some other awesome teachers  and creators and I’m excited to share  

this conference experience with you.

And as a bonus, I went to this conference  with one of my very best friends, Laura.

Oh, yeah.

We’re still sharing a chair!

Laura, what did you think of the conference?

It was great.

I had fun with you.

I had fun with you too.

Let’s do it again.

Let’s, next year.

And finally, another killer video  coming out this summer on the OH  

diphthong. Who knew how many words  in a hotel have the OH diphthong?

Phone

We have a notepad. No, no, notepad.

We even have a remote. Again, the OH  diphthong is in the stressed syllable.

And because I think it really helps, I’ll be  sure to show you some up-close slow-motion video  

of words with the sound to help you really get  the lip rounding needed to really sound natural.

Jaw drop for the first position and rounded  lips for the second. The word ‘slow’.

Notice how the lips are not relaxed in  the first position of this diphthong with  

the jaw drop. They’re flared which does  not affect the sound as they prepare to  

round for the ending position. Rounded lips.

So there is a lot to look forward to this summer.

There it is, your summer English language  learning official entertainment trailer.
