REAL LIFE ENGLISH | Speak English Like A Native Speaker Episode 4

Hey, welcome to part four of the real life English series.

My goal as your teacher is to help you sound more like a native English.

In order to do that, you must learn real life English.

And that's what I'm going to teach you in today's lesson.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher.

Tiffani let's jump right in.

All right.

So I want to show you a picture really quickly.

Now this picture shows you something that so many native English speakers

love, and you probably love it.

This is a picture of some delicious food, but you see if I was looking

at this in real life, I would say scrumptious one more time after

me, watch my mouth scrumptious.

Excellent.

One more time.

Scrumptious.

Very good.

Now, when I look at that cake and all of the things on top,

As a native English speaker.

My first response is to say, Ooh whee!

This cake looks scrumptious.

Now you may have some troubles with your pronunciation, but don't worry.

Remember you can always download the English with Tiffani app.

The link is right in the description, and I have a few lessons in

there about pronunciation.

But you're probably wondering teacher.

What does scrumptious mean?

So let me explain.

Scrumptious just means extremely, extremely tasty.

I want you to think about your favorite food, maybe it's macaroni and cheese.

Maybe it's something that is specifically unique to your culture.

Think about that dish and how your mouth starts to water.

That's because it's delicious or.

Scrumptious.

Excellent.

Now let me give you an example sentence.

Here we go.

The cake she made was scrumptious.

Makes sense right now.

What I want you to do is in the comment section right now, I want you to tell

me something about your culture of food that is very unique to your culture.

And tell me that it's scrumptious, make your own sentence and

put it in the comment section.

Remember, real life English.

Now this is something that I want you to use on a regular basis, but let me

show you a sentence pattern right now.

When you write your comment, if you need help, you can use this sentence pattern.

Here we go.

The blank, the name of the food was extremely scrumptious.

Very simple.

Right now.

Look how I would use this pattern to make a sentence.

The banana nut bread.

My mom made was extremely scrumptious.

Makes sense right?

Now at the end, don't go anywhere.

I'm going to tell you a story for story time, and this story is going

to be related to banana nut bread.

So don't go anywhere.

So scrumptious something that you like.

That's very delicious.

It's scrumptious makes sense.

All right.

Very good.

Now let me show you the next real English word.

So we're still looking at the same picture, but this time I go down a little

further and I see this chocolate fudge and I say drizzle after me drizzle.

Excellent.

Watch me.

Drizzle.

Very good.

Now, what does this word drizzle mean?

And why do native English speakers use this word?

You see drizzle means to pour liquid slowly over something, especially in

a line, a thin line or in small drops.

So again, we saw the cake, it looked scrumptious, and then we saw the

chocolate fudge, just coming down on the side, we say they drizzled chocolate.

Maybe you like to bake or cook.

And you like to drizzle things on your food.

Huh?

All right.

So let me give you an example sentence.

The chef drizzled the syrup over the pancakes, you know, true story.

This past weekend on Sunday, I actually had my family and my friends over

and I actually cooked food for them.

And I made something that required them to drizzle some syrup over their food.

Makes sense.

Right now, let me give you a pattern that you can use so that

you can use this real English.

Easily.

Okay.

So here's the pattern I like to drizzle say what it is over

and then say the food item.

For example, I like to drizzle syrup over waffles.

Makes sense right now.

Look.

I like to drizzle agave.

Agave is a type of natural syrup over my cinnamon pancakes, man.

Can't you just imagine eating something delicious and then drizzling some

liquid, some sweetener on the top.

We say drizzle in English.

Now, before I go to the next one, I want to give you your first quiz.

I hope you're ready.

I hope you're ready.

All right.

We have quiz number one.

I want to make sure you're understanding these real life English vocabulary words.

So you're going to have five seconds to answer.

I want you to think quickly.

All right.

We learned drizzle and we also learned what was the.

Scrumptious.

Very good.

All right.

Here's the first question.

And again, you will have only five seconds.

So here we go.

The first question is my niece asked me if she could the syrup over her food.

Five seconds

time.

All right.

What's the.

Yes, you got it.

Excellent.

She asked me if she could drizzle the syrup over her food.

Excellent.

All right, now let's look at question number two.

Here we go.

Now again, I'll start the timer over the cupcakes she made were what's the answer?

Five seconds.

Time.

What's the answer.

Excellent.

You got it.

They were scrumptious.

Oh.

I brought it back.

They were scrumptious again, extremely tasty, very delicious.

So we have scrumptious and drizzle.

Now, if we go back to our image of this wonderful cake, we're going

to see something else that pops up.

We have drizzle, we have scrumptious, but when we go to the next part of

this picture, look what happens.

Now we have visually appealing again after me visually appealing.

Yeah.

That V sound can be tricky for the V sound.

All I want you to do is put your front teeth on your bottom lip and vibrate.

So excellent.

Again, I teach all of this in the English with Tiffani app, my app,

click the link in the description.

So again, visually appealing.

Excellent.

Now, what does visually appealing actually mean?

So visually appealing this expression means to look good or attractive.

Something looks good or attractive.

Hopefully you can see appealing.

There you go.

Something looks good or attractive.

When a man comes in with a nice suit...Whoo!

Now that brother is visually appealing or when you make something delicious,

something scrumptious, some food, and you want to make sure it looks good.

You drizzle the dressing over the salad, you place different

pieces at just the right spots.

You want to make sure your food.

Visually appealing again, real life English that we as

native English speakers use.

So let me give you an example sentence.

Here we go.

It's always important to make sure your food, that your

food is visually appealing.

That makes sense, right?

When something looks good, it's usually a lot tastier.

Right?

Okay.

So let me give you an example, pattern sentence.

Here we go.

I want to make sure that my, dot dot dot, is or are visually appealing.

That's the pattern.

Remember you can write down the pattern, but don't worry if

you're not able to take notes.

All you have to do is go to my website, speak English with Tiffani.com and you'll

see the notes for this episode as well.

So let me tell you the sentence I would make using this pattern.

I want to make sure that my outfit.

is visually appealing, right?

Visually appealing.

Now you can see right now I'm wearing the shirt with the speak English with

Tiffani logo and it is visually appealing.

It looks good.

It looks attractive.

So again, we have this.

I want to make sure that my outfit is visually appealing.

Makes sense.

All right.

Good job.

So let's go to the next part.

Here we go.

Looking at the picture.

Now we're moving to the top section again.

Oh, this upside down waffle cone.

Temptation.

Temptation.

After me, Temptation.

Excellent.

One more time.

Temptation.

Very good.

Now, what does this word temptation actually mean?

Temptation means the wish to do or have something that you

know, you should not do or have.

Now in the picture, remember in the picture, there was an upside

down waffle cone with chocolate around the edges and sprinkles.

And can you imagine having an ice cream cone set inside the ice cream

scoop right on top of that waffle cone?

You're on a diet.

Maybe you're watching your figure.

You're trying to stay in shape and you know, you shouldn't

have that ice cream cone.

That is why it's a temptation.

It makes sense.

Right?

Okay.

Let's look at an example sentence.

Here we go.

He tried to resist the temptation to eat all of the pie in one sitting at one time.

He said, oh my goodness, this pie is so good.

I know.

That I shouldn't eat all of it, but Ooh, baby, it looks good.

It's a temptation.

Makes sense?

All right.

Good.

Let's look at an example.

Pattern.

All right.

A pattern for this one.

Here we go.

I gave into temptation and.dot dot.

What action.

What did you do?

What did you fall into?

So for example, I gave in to temptation and bought a big tub of ice cream.

Remember we were talking about trying to keep our figures nice,

trying to stay healthy and in shape, but that ice cream, it looks so.

Growing up.

True story.

I loved mint, chocolate chip ice cream.

Every time I went to Baskin Robbins or an ice cream shop, I would get mint

chocolate chip mint, chocolate chip.

It's my temptation.

It tempts me every time.

So again, I gave into temptation and bought a big tub of ice.

Makes sense.

All right, good job.

Now what about the next one again?

Looking at the picture one more time and we're going to the other side.

Oh man.

We have these macaroons again and now we have the word indulge.

After me indulge.

Yeah, that L and G combination can be a little bit tricky.

So let's do it one last time.

Indulge.

You got it excellent job now, what does indulge mean?

Indulge?

Let me show you the definition before the pattern.

Here we go.

Indulge just means to allow yourself or another person to have

something enjoyable, especially more than is good for you.

So remember we just learned temptation.

I said mint chocolate chip.

I love it.

I bought a big tub of this ice cream.

I shouldn't eat the ice cream all at one time.

Right.

But if I indulge, it means, Eh come on now you enjoy it.

Just go ahead and do it.

You can go ahead and indulge, eat more than you really should do more

than you really should in English.

This real English vocabulary word is indulge.

So let me give you a sentence.

I decided to indulge in a big bowl of ice cream.

Now, many of you were probably like, wow, teacher, Tiffani really loves ice cream.

I do like ice cream.

I'm vegan.

That's another fact.

So I eat vegan ice cream, but it's a great example of a temptation,

something you want to indulge in.

Right.

Okay.

So let me give you a pattern now that you can use.

Here we go.

I like to indulge in dot.dot.dot.

I want you to use this pattern.

This is a very interactive class, an interactive.

In the comment section.

I want you to tell me, what do you like to indulge in?

I've mentioned ice cream, maybe you like something else.

So here's the example sentence using the pattern.

I like to indulge in cookies.

When I get home from work.

You see, I actually told a time I expressed even more.

About my temptation and what I like to indulge in.

And when I like to indulge in it.

So you can use this pattern and write your own sentence in the chat area.

So again, I like to indulge in dot.dot.

Let us all know what you personally like to indulge in now.

You know what time it is?

Quiz number two.

All right.

Now we have our second quiz now.

Remember.

You only have five seconds for each question.

So the first question, here we go.

Now I will see you next week, but as always remember to speak English.

You still there.

Ah, you know what time it is?

It's story time.

I said it's story time.

Alright, I told you guys earlier during, uh, the part of the lesson

where I was talking about, uh, scrumptious and banana nut bread.

So I want to tell you my earliest memory, literally, I think I may

have been two or three years old.

I'm leaning more towards two years old.

Now I've told some of you this story, but.

One of my favorite desserts.

One of my favorite breads is banana nut bread.

I absolutely love banana nut bread.

And my love for this scrumptious bread you saw, I added that

in there, came from my mother.

So when I was about two years old, literally it feels like I'm in a movie

because I can go right back to the day.

I remember what was happening.

I was walking down the hall in our home, again, two or three years old.

And I saw my mom at a distance.

She was in the kitchen and my mom cooked a lot.

She's a really good cook.

So it wasn't abnormal to see her in the kitchen.

But I started to smell something, something so sweet.

So I walked into the kitchen and I remember my mom giving me a little stool

so that I could see what she was doing.

She said, okay baby, come here.

She put the stool right next to the stove.

She had already taken out of the oven, whatever it was.

That's what smelling so good.

So she was closing the oven and she put it right on top of the.

So I got, she put the stool in front of me.

I stepped on top of the stool and what I saw, what had a lot

of steam coming up from it.

So she uncovered it and it was beautiful.

Glistening brown, the perfect Browning of the top of the bread.

And I said, mommy, what is this?

She said, Baby, this is banana nut bread.

Do you want some?

Now, you know, I said, of course now she sliced it.

I remember slicing the bread, putting a little piece on a small plate

for me and she handed it to me.

And when I put it in my mouth, it was soft.

It was scrumptious.

It was amazing.

And since that time, banana nut bread has been my favorite bread.

If anybody makes.

I will eat it.

So maybe you have childhood memories that even to this day, years later, you still

remember as if they happened yesterday.

I remember the scrumptious banana nut bread my mother made, and every

time someone brings it around.

Even if I'm on a diet, I have to give in to temptation and I indulge in a piece of

delicious scrumptious banana nut bread.

All right, guys, today's story was a little bit short, but I do want to know

more about your childhood memories.

So add your childhood memory.

Anything you want to share with us in the comments section below.

Thanks again, guys so much for joining.

I can't wait to see you next week.

I love you all have an awesome day.
