ENGLISH WORDS YOU MUST KNOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH IN REAL LIFE

Hey, so your goal is to speak English fluently, like a native English speaker.

Well, in order for you to sound like a native English speaker, there are

certain English words that you must know.

So in today's lesson, I'm going to give you the words you need to

study this week in order to sound like a native English speaker.

Words you must know.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

All right, so let's get started with the word for Sunday.

The word for Sunday is conspiracy.

Ooh.

Nice job again after me.

Conspiracy.

Excellent.

Last time after me.

Conspiracy.

, great job.

Now, this just means a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

I want you to think about it like this.

Maybe in your country instead of a president, you have a

prime minister or a king, right?

And maybe you love your king or your prime Minister, or your president.

Many people love your president or your king or prime minister, but.

Is a small group of people that don't, and maybe these people decide, Hey,

we have to remove this president.

Hey, we have to remove this king.

So they start coming up with plans to remove the president, to remove

the king or the prime Minister.

This plan, what they're doing is considered to.

A conspiracy.

You got it, didn't you?

I know you felt that story, right?

. So listen again, A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

In English, we say conspiracy.

Now let me give you some example sentences that will help you use this word properly.

Here we go.

The first one is this.

The three men are accused of conspiracy.

These three men were planning to do something unlawful or harmful.

They are accused of conspiracy.

What about this one sentence number two?

You know, I suspected that he was involved in the conspiracy.

I suspected that he was involved with that group that was making a plan

to do something unlawful or harmful.

You got it.

Again, I suspected that he was involved in the conspiracy.

Good job.

Now what about this sentence, sentence number three?

At first, he was blissfully unaware of the conspiracy against him.

He wasn't aware of the fact that this group actually was planning to

do something unlawful or harmful to.

Again, at first, he was blissfully unaware of the conspiracy against him.

Make sense?

Good.

Now remember, this is the word that you need to learn today, being Sunday

when this lesson is going live.

This is your word for today.

The word you must know, conspiracy.

Remember, I want you to try to learn this word and try to use

it at least one time today.

Now, for Monday, the next word you're gonna learn is nefarious.

It can be a little tricky.

Don't worry.

I got you again, nefarious.

Excellent last time after me.

Remember, the F sound just requires you to put your front teeth on your bottom lips.

So after me.

Nefarious, excellent job.

Now, this just means actions or activities that are morally bad.

Hey, that's really not good.

Something that's morally bad.

Hey, actions or activities that are morally bad in English, we say nefarious.

And remember, this is the word you're gonna be using for,

let's see if I can point to it.

There we go, Monday.

All right, so let's check out some examples and sentences using this word.

Most of us know that information sent over internet wires can be

used by individuals with morally bad intent or with nefarious intent.

Think about it, people wanting to steal your information and using

it maybe to get a credit card.

This is an example of someone.

Doing something with a nefarious intent makes sense.

One more time.

Most of us know that information sent over internet wires can be used by

individuals with nefarious intent.

You got it.

All right.

Let's check out the second example sentence.

All right.

The word that we have for Monday in the end.

She was successful in her efforts to beat the villains at their own nefarious game.

Again, remember, it just means actions or activities that are morally bad.

And finally, the third sentence.

Using this word, I know the list of nefarious uses for the.

But I'm not worried about them.

Hey, I know that there's a list that shows how many bad things can be done

on the internet or using the internet, but I'm not worried about those things.

I'm not.

Concerned about them.

Again, I know the list of nefarious uses for the internet,

but I'm not worried about them.

Makes sense right now.

Again, this is the word for Monday.

I want you to be able to understand it and use it at least once.

Now I'm gonna give you the word for Tuesday, but I wanted to remind you that

if you're not on my list, again, a totally free newsletter I send out three times a

week that helps you improve your English.

I need you to go to speak English with Tiffani.com/newsletter.

Every week, three times a week, I send out an email totally free that

will help you improve your English.

So I'd love for you to.

Thousands upon thousands of English learners around the world that are

every week, three times a week, learning even more with me getting

extra stories, extra tips and resources.

So again, hit the link in the description or go to speak English

with Tiffani.com/newsletter.

All right, so let's go to the word for Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the word you need to use and learn is skeptical.

. It's kind of fun to say it right.

Again, skeptical.

Oh, good.

Last time after me.

Skeptical.

Excellent.

Now, this just means not easily convinced or having doubts or reservations.

One more time.

Not easily convinced or having doubts or reservations.

For example, I tell you all the time, listen, you can

achieve your English goals.

Listen, you will be able to sound like me.

You will be able to speak English like a native English.

But sometimes your response is like this, come on, teacher, Tiffani, really?

Are you telling me that I will be able to achieve my goals?

Skeptical . Now, I know you probably trust me, but sometimes you might

think to yourself, Ooh, is it

possible?

I know Tiffani said it is,

but is it really possible?

Not easily convinced, having doubts or reservations, skeptic.

Makes sense, right?

I don't want you to be skeptical.

I believe in you, but that's what the word means.

So check out these example sentences.

She turned in time to see Mrs.

Watson's skeptical look turned into a smile.

Ms.

Watson had this skeptical look.

Then all of a sudden she started smiling again.

She turned in time to see Mrs.

Watson's skeptical.

Turn into a smile.

You got it.

All right.

Here's the second example sentence.

His expression was skeptical.

Mm-hmm.

, again, his expression was skeptical.

You got it.

All right.

Here's the third example sentence.

But over the last few years, I've become skeptical about the whole thing.

I, I'm not really sure.

Doubting if it's gonna be possible, but over the last few years, I've

become skeptical about the whole thing.

Make sense?

All right, so again, on Tuesday, this is your word.

I want you to make sure you understand it and use it at least one time.

And remember, in our last lesson, I talked about the importance of

learning and teaching something.

So try to teach this word to someone as well.

So let's go to Wednesday.

The word for Wednesday is actually a word, a combo word, mind numbing.

Now I'm waiting for you to.

Let's do it again after me Mind numbing.

Ooh.

Good job.

Last time after me Mind numbing.

Excellent.

Now this just means so extreme or intense as to prevent normal

thought, so intense, so extreme as to prevent normal thought for.

I've told you the story about when I took my exam trying to graduate when

I was in grad school in South Korea.

The exam included haja, you know, Chinese characters.

It was extremely difficult.

I had to take the test three times.

The very first time I took the test and I looked at it, it was mind numbing.

I couldn't think straight.

It was so intense.

What I was looking at made no sense to me.

Mind numbing.

You got it right.

Okay.

Let's check out an example sentence.

I did pass.

God is good.

Here we go.

I didn't want to listen to any more of his mind numbing speech.

Think about a speech you have to listen to and it's like, na na na na, na na.

And you can't even think clearly because you don't know what is being said.

I didn't want to listen to any more of his mind numbing.

Make sense?

All right, here we go.

The second sentence, the whole experience was mind numbing.

The whole experience.

It really prevented normal thought.

I, I, it was so intense and extreme.

The whole experience was mind numbing.

Got it.

All right, here we go.

Now let's go to the next one.

Here we go.

Number three.

The repetition was mind numbing.

Again, the repetition was mind numbing.

Makes sense.

Right?

Okay.

Now this is the thing.

This is the word for Wednesday.

I want you to make sure you understand it and then try to use it at least once.

Okay.

Now let's go on to Thursday.

Thursday we have another good.

This one is epidemic.

Excellent again, epidemic.

Ooh, great job last time after me, epidemic.

Excellent.

Now, this word just means excessively prevalent, or excuse me, excessively

prevalent or excessively happen.

Often over a large area at a particular time, so excessively prevalent,

happening a lot in great number or excessively happening often over

a large area at a particular time.

So check out this example sentence.

It will help you understand this more.

A great epidemic.

Burst forth in that area.

A great epidemic.

It was happening everywhere.

Next, she was carried off by the epidemic.

She got caught up.

It was happening everywhere, and she got caught up in it as well.

And finally, the threat of an epidemic caused great alarm and trepidation.

People were nervous, people were scared.

Oh, The threat of an epidemic caused great alarm and trepidation.

Makes sense, right?

So again, this is the word I want you to learn for Thursday and use it on Thursday.

Now I have something special for you on Friday.

This is an expression.

This expression is something that we use as native English

speakers on a regular basis.

All right, so again, for Friday, there's a bonus expression that you must know.

This expression is to no end.

Excellent again to no end, and great last time to no end.

Nice.

Now, this just means to a great extent, or very much to a

great extent, or very much so.

Let me explain this.

I wanna make sure it's clear for you.

Okay.

To much, very much, or to a great extent.

First sentence.

He talked and talked to no end.

He talked and talked to no end.

It means he just wouldn't stop.

It was going on and on and on Again, he talked and talked to no end.

That's the very first sentence.

What about this one right here?

My boss complains to no end.

About the company's performance over and over and over.

My boss never stops.

He's always complaining over and over to a great extent.

So once again, my boss complains to no end about the company's performance.

Makes sense, right?

All right.

Now, sentence number three.

I love my kids.

To no end.

I love my kids to no end.

The love I have for my children.

It has no end.

It's so great.

I love my kids and you probably love yours.

So again, I love my kids to know end.

Now.

I hope these expressions and words were easy for you.

Remember this week I want you to learn them and use them.

English with Tiffani.com/newsletter

and I'll see you in the new.

You still there?

? You know what time it is?

It's story time.

A I said it story time.

Had to add a little bit extra on the end.

. Today I have a short story for you.

It's a story.

About food.

So I remember I was home one day, this is after I had returned from South Korea.

I was in my thirties.

My parents were letting me stay with them because I was trying to

start this business, this business that I'm running now, helping you

speak English, and my parents were letting me live with them for free.

Praise God for parents.

And I remember, so my mom cooks extremely well.

I've mentioned this before, but I wanna make sure you understand.

My mom can cook.

Everything is delicious.

So I was home working hard and it was a Sunday morning and my mom just happened

to, um, she had been out earlier that morning and she came back and she just

came to my room just to say Good morning.

I was like, Hey, mommy.

I was like, it's good to see you.

She's like, how's work going?

I said, it's going good.

I said, I'm really in the mood for some fried potatoes.

Mommy.

She said, oh man.

She's like, I'm not gonna have time because I have to go somewhere.

I said, oh, no problem, no problem.

I was just craving her fried potatoes.

That was it.

She had to walk out and go somewhere, and I just kept working.

30 minutes went by, 40 minutes went by, and I was typing, working on my computer,

and all of a sudden, The sweet aroma of food cooking downstairs hit my nose.

I said, wait a minute.

I cut.

My mom is my dad.

No, my dad's at the gym.

I said, what?

The smell kept getting stronger and stronger.

It was so strong.

I had to leave my office.

So I got up and the closer I walked to the kitchen, the stronger the aroma got.

And when I got to the kitchen, I saw my mom making fried potatoe.

She turned and looked at me and she said, Hey baby.

Now remember I said I was in my thirties, but there's something

about eating your mama's food.

I smiled so hard and I went and gave her a hug.

I said, mommy, thank you so much.

It was something so simple, but I love my mom's fried potatoes.

She said, don't worry, it's my pleasure.

And I realized that parents, even though their children become full

adults, they're always a parent and they love to see their children.

So that day I was happy and my mom was happy.

Why am I telling you this story?

Why did I tell you what happened to me with my mom's fried potatoes?

I am not your mother, but I get the same joy that my mom got when I hear stories

from you that these lessons are helping.

That you've achieved a goal.

Maybe you got a job, maybe you traveled to America or another country, maybe

someone complimented you on your English.

When I receive those stories in the comments section or from

my other students, the joy that comes into my soul is real and

it makes me want to teach more.

Just like my mom who was busy, wanted to cook more for me.

So I wanna say thank.

I love teaching English.

I love helping you achieve your goals, and when I hear your stories, man, they just

make me so happy and make me wanna work harder to help you achieve your goals.

So I hope you enjoyed this story and I hope you enjoyed the lesson.

I'll talk to you in the next one.
