45 Minute English Lesson: Vocabulary, Grammar, Pronunciation

Vanessa: Hi, I'm Vanessa  

from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com. Are you  ready to learn a lot of English? Let's do it. 

I have something secret, surprise to show you.  Over the past couple months, I've been creating  

some quick 30-second to one-minute English lessons  every day for a social media channel that I have  

in China on WeChat. If you're in China, you can  check out my code here so that you can follow me  

and watch those lessons. But I thought, why should  my YouTube students miss out on these lessons? 

So today, I have combined all of them, all of  these quick, rapid-fire English lessons into one  

long lesson to share with you. I hope that you  enjoy it. They're all filmed with my phone, but  

I think that they'll still be useful for you. They  are for, generally, beginner or early intermediate  

English learners, so I hope that you'll be able  to learn a lot of vocabulary, grammar, idioms,  

pronunciation, a lot of fun, useful tips in these  lessons. Are you ready to get started? Let's  

start the rapid-fire English lessons. Let's go. Welcome to our family. I'm Vanessa. This is Dan,  

Theo, Freddy, Pippen and Luna. This week, you  will get to know more about our family. I want  

to get to know more about you. Tell me how many  people are in your family. There are four people  

in my family, plus two cats. You will get to know  more about us and you will get to know more about  

English. I can't wait. This is my husband, Dan. Dan: 

Hi. Vanessa: 

What do you like to do in your free time? 

Dan: I like to play disc golf. 

Vanessa: Oh.  

Yeah, Dan's really into disc  golf. What else are you into? 

Dan: I like to play hockey and I  

also like to watch ice hockey. Vanessa: 

Oh, I'm not really into hockey, but I like  watching you play on your own team. What  

about you? What are you into? You can use  this expression to be into something to talk  

about your interests. Dan's into hockey,  Dan's into disc golf. Meet my oldest son.  

What's your name? Theo: 

Theo. Vanessa: 

Theo. And how old are you, Theo? Theo: 

Three. Vanessa: 

That's great. He's three years old. Who is this? Theo: 

White squirrel. Vanessa: 

Wow. White squirrel is Theo's favorite stuffed  animal. Stuffed animal is an animal that children  

love to play with. Notice the pronunciation,  stuffed, stuffed animal. The ED ending  

sounds like a T. Stuffed animal. Meet my new  baby, Freddy. Freddy, how old are you? Oh, he  

doesn't talk yet. He's learning English like you.  He's four months old. He likes to chew everything,  

kind of like a dog, but because he doesn't  have teeth, he gums things, he uses his gums.  

Thankfully, he's a very easygoing baby. Easygoing  means relaxed. He doesn't cry much. He never  

screams. I don't think it's because of my skill as  a mother, I think it's just his personality. He's  

easygoing. What about you? Are you easygoing? Meet my fat cat, Pippen. We bought Pippen from  

an animal shelter when he was only six months  old. He was alone and scared, and we saved him.  

Pippen's favorite activity is staring  out the window and watching the birds.  

Sometimes, he goes outside and stares at  the birds closer. To stare is like this,  

to look without blinking.  Thankfully, he's never caught  

a bird in real life, only in his imagination. Meet my silly cat, Luna. There's one thing you  

need to know about Luna, she is a chicken. What?  She doesn't look like a chicken, she looks like  

a cat. But no, she is a chicken. Do you know this  expression? A chicken. To be a chicken means that  

you're scared of everything. If she hears a loud  sound, she runs away. Poor Luna, she's a chicken. 

Welcome to my morning routine. I usually wake  up around 8:00 AM. The phrasal verb to wake up  

means your eyes open and you stop sleeping.  Sometimes, my alarm clock wakes me up,  

sometimes, my baby wakes me  up with his cute little face.  

Good morning. What time do you wake up?  Good morning, my alarm went off. I woke up,  

and now it's time to get ready. I wash my face,  put on some makeup, put on my glasses, and  

put on my clothes. Did you notice that I  used the phrasal verb to put on for makeup,  

glasses and clothes? To put on is a really useful  expression to know. So I have a question for you,  

what did you put on today? Let  me know in the comments. Bye. 

Every morning, I pick up my baby,  nurse him and change his clothes.  

The word clothes sounds like close the door.  Forget the TH, it's clothes. What kind of  

clothes do you want to wear today, Freddy? Do  you want to wear the dinosaurs or the stripes?  

This one. Okay. The dinosaurs? Let's do it. Baby  clothes are so cute. Do you drink coffee or tea?  

I never drink coffee, but I love tea. To make tea,  you need a tea kettle full of hot water, a teabag,  

or loose leaf tea. Pour the hot water over the  teabag and let it steep for three or four minutes.  

Now, my day can begin. It's done. What about  you? Do you drink tea or coffee in the morning?  

I never drink coffee, but do you  know someone who loves coffee? 

Dan: I do. 

Vanessa: Dan, my husband. How do you make coffee? 

Dan: I grind it, I pour it into a filter,  

and I put it in the coffee machine and turn it on. Vanessa: 

Do you drink black coffee? Dan: 

Sometimes. But usually, I drink coffee with cream. Vanessa: 

This is a common question about coffee.  Black coffee means no milk and no sugar.  

Do you drink black coffee? My husband always makes  breakfast for us. He usually whips up some oatmeal  

with honey and fruit. To whip up to make something  quickly. Do you have a presentation in 30 minutes?  

You need to whip up a presentation. Did your  teacher ask you why you were late for class? You  

need to whip up a reason. I forgot about school? If you put on some nice clothes,  

drink some coffee, and eat a good breakfast,  you can start off on the right foot. What?  

The right foot? What about the left  foot? No, no, no. This is an expression.  

To start off on the right foot means that  you have a positive start. I want to start  

off on the right foot every morning so I try to  think some positive thoughts. What do you do to  

start off on the right foot in the morning? Welcome to my kitchen. The sink is where I  

wash dirty dishes. The faucet is where the hot  and cold water come out, and I have hot and cold  

water handles. The countertop, or just counter,  is where I prepare food. The cutting board,  

this is a wooden cutting board, is where I  chop food. I keep food in the refrigerator.  

Refrigerator is such a big word but I have good  news, usually, we just say fridge. Can you say  

it with me? Fridge. Ah, it's so much easier. I cook eggs on the stove and in the oven,  

I cook chicken. Do you have an oven?  I'm making a typical children's lunch,  

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sometimes,  we call this PB&J. I'm going to eat a PB&J. When  

I was a child, I ate a peanut butter and jelly  sandwich almost every day. To make this sandwich,  

you can take a piece of bread, or we can call  this a slice of bread, and spread on the peanut  

butter. Then, we spread on the jelly, or you  can call this jam. We spread on the peanut  

butter and the jelly with a knife. Notice that  the K is silent. Can you say this word with me?  

Knife. Put the top piece on and you're done. So  easy. What about you? Do you like to eat bread? 

To eat food, you need dishes and  silverware, so let's talk about it.  

Bowls, notice the W is silent. Bowls, big plates,  little plates, cups, or a glass, glasses, mugs,  

water bottles, a sippy cup, forks, spoons, a  knife, knives. Notice the K is silent. Knives,  

chopsticks. What about you? Do you use chopsticks  every day? I eat rice a lot, do you? I never eat  

lice. This is rice, and lice are the little bugs  in your hair. It's very important to say rice  

correctly. To say the R sound, put your teeth  together and pretend like you are an angry dog,  

rice, rice. Don't say lice. L is with  your tongue out of your mouth, lice.  

I want to eat rice. I don't want to eat lice.  What about you? Do you eat rice every day? 

Ah, I'm hungry. I'm starving when are we going  to eat? Is dinner ready yet? Dinner's ready.  

Do you want some more? Oh, no, thanks.  I'm full. My eyes were bigger than my  

stomach. This idiom means that you put too  much food on your plate because you were so  

hungry. Now, you can't finish it because you're  full. Maybe you could eat it for a midnight snack.  

What about you? Are you hungry now? A great way to remember vocabulary is to  

label items in your house. I heat up food in the  microwave. Heat up doesn't mean you're cooking,  

it means you're making it warm  again. I chop meat with knives.  

Chop and cut are the same thing. I put away my  food in the pantry. The pantry is where you can  

keep rice, flour, cans and jars of food. Writing  a key phrase is great, but writing a sentence is  

better. What do you put in your pantry? When I was younger, my dad brought home  

the bacon. Now, I bring home the bacon.  Well, my husband also brings home the bacon.  

What does this idiom mean? Does it mean that we  are eating a lot of bacon? No, it's an expression  

that means to make money. When I was younger,  my mom watched me and my sister, and my dad went  

to work. That means that my dad brought home the  bacon. Notice the grammar, I bring home the bacon,  

he brings home the bacon, this is the present  tense, or my dad brought home the bacon,  

this is the past tense. What about you?  Who brings home the bacon in your family? 

Welcome to the outdoors. My family has a  weekly goal, to go hiking once a week, rain  

or shine. This expression rain or shine means  that we will do the activity if it's raining  

or if the sun is shining. We will do it  in any weather. We use this expression  

all the time. The outdoor concert will happen  rain or shine. The running race will happen  

rain or shine. What about you?  What do you like to do outside? 

I'm a busy bee. I take care of my three-year-old  son, I take care of my five-month-old son,  

I take care of my house, I take care of my  English teaching business, I take care of myself,  

and sometimes, I take care of my husband too. Can  you guess what to be a busy bee means? It means  

I'm really busy. This bee is busy getting the  pollen from all of the flowers. He is a busy bee.  

But I'm also a busy bee. What  about you? Are you a busy bee? 

I'm going for a walk in my neighborhood.  I'm going for a hike in the mountains.  

You can say I'm walking, or I'm hiking,  but it's much more natural to say  

I'm going for a walk, do you want to join me? I'm  going for a hike, do you want to come with me?  

This hiking trail is rocky, or this path is  rocky. Path, path. Do you see my tongue? Path.  

It's between my teeth. Oh, teeth. Say it  with me. Teeth, path. Your tongue should  

be out of your mouth and between your teeth,  with a stream of air flowing out. Teeth, path.  

Say it with me, I go for a hike on  the path. I go for a hike on the path. 

When you feel amazing, when you feel  wonderful, you are on top of the world.  

I'm on top of the world. Did you just get a  promotion at work? You are on top of the world.  

Did you just speak with someone in English? You're  on top of the world. Did you make an amazing meal  

and everyone loved it? You feel on top of the  world. Say it with me, I'm on top of the world. 

I went for a walk yesterday. I go for a walk  every day. I am going to go for a walk tomorrow.  

I have gone for a walk every day for three  months. I enjoy the nature when I was pregnant. I  

enjoy nature now in the summer. I am  going to enjoy nature in the fall.  

I have enjoyed nature every day of my life. Do you feel tired? Do you feel annoyed?  

When I feel tired and annoyed, I go  outside to clear my mind. I feel relaxed,  

I feel calm, I feel happy when I go outside.  Let's practice this pronunciation. Clears, clears.  

Notice the L, my tongue is outside of my mouth.  Clears, and the R at the end, my tongue is not  

outside my mouth. Say it with me, going outside  clears my mind. Going outside clears my mind. 

Welcome to my workout. It's important to exercise  every day. The word exercise and workout mean the  

same thing. Some people work out at the gym, but I  don't work out at the gym, I exercise at home. Do  

you work out at the gym or at home? Some different  types of exercises are running or jogging,  

yoga, Pilates, jumping rope, Tai chi,  martial arts, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats,  

lunges, lifting weights, or weightlifting.  What exercises do you do? Vanessa works out on  

Wednesdays. Vanessa lifts weights very often. V,  my teeth are on my bottom lip with some vibration.  

Vanessa. Say it with me, Vanessa. W, my lips  make an wooh shape. Work. Say it with me, work.  

Let's say the challenge sentence.  Vanessa works out on Wednesday.  

Vanessa lifts weights very often. Great work. I do some exercises. He does some exercises. I  

do yoga. She does yoga. I do Pilates. He does  Pilates. I do martial arts. They do martial arts.  

I do squats. They do squats. I do weightlifting.  We do weightlifting. I run. They run.  

What about you? Do you do yoga? When I  work out, my muscles get strong. Muscles.  

Notice the C is silent. Muscles. Don't say  muscles. No, no, no. The C is silent. I  

don't have strong muscles. What about you? Do  you have strong muscles? Why do you work out? 

Dan: To get strong, to get fit, to get in shape,  

to get buff, and to get ripped. Vanessa: 

What about you? Why do you work out? Before  I exercise, I need to warm up my muscles.  

To warm up means to stretch my muscles. After  I exercise, I need to cool down. To cool down  

means to stretch my muscles. Can you say it with  me? I warm up, then I cool down. Great work. 

When should you say hello, hi, or hey?  Hello is for structured situations,  

on the phone or giving a presentation. Hi is  for your boss, your coworkers, your family, your  

friends, anyone. Hey is for people you are close  with, your sister, your husband, your friends.  

Write a greeting to me in the comments,  like, hi, Vanessa. Is it normal to say  

how are you in English? No, we rarely  say this. Instead, you can say... 

Dan: How's it going? How's it going? 

Vanessa: Good. This means is your life going well? Yes,  

my life is going well. English speakers  feel comfortable being casual with everyone.  

We like to be friends with everyone. You can ask  how's it going with your boss, your family, your  

teacher, me, and your friends. Now I want to ask  you, how's it going? Should you say thank you to  

everyone? Yes, English speakers love to say thank  you. I recommend saying thank you. This is for  

bigger actions. For example, thank you for taking  care of my cats when I went on vacation. Thanks,  

this is for small actions. Thanks for holding  the door. Thanks for bringing me some coffee.  

Do you want to thank someone a lot? Just add so  much. Thank you so much for learning English with  

me. Thanks so much for learning English with  me. Can you say thank you in the comments? 

When someone says thank you, what can you say?  For big actions, you can say you're welcome.  

It's my pleasure. For example... Dan: 

Thank you for teaching me English. Vanessa: 

You're welcome. It's my pleasure to teach  you English. For small actions, you can say  

no problem. For example... Dan: 

Thank you for making this lesson. Vanessa: 

No problem. Thank you for being my  student. How can you respond? Oh no,  

you did something wrong. What should you  say? Just say I'm sorry. It's simple,  

it's clear, it's polite. Why are you late? Dan: 

I'm sorry. Vanessa: 

You forgot to buy rice. Dan: 

I'm sorry. Vanessa: 

Did you bump someone by accident? You  can say I'm sorry, or you can say... 

Dan: Sorry about that. 

Vanessa: Sorry about that is casual. If you bump me,  

what would you say? Dan: 

Oh, I'm sorry. Vanessa: 

What should you say? You can say, it's okay, or  no problem. You can say this in any situation.  

For example, your boss forgot to give you a paper  and he says, "I'm sorry that I forgot that paper."  

You can say... Dan: 

It's okay. No problem. Vanessa: 

Your friend is late to your dinner party and  your friend says, "I'm sorry that I'm late."  

You can say... Dan: 

It's okay. No problem. Vanessa: 

I'm sorry that sometimes, I speak too fast.  What can you say to me in the comments?  

Is it okay to say goodbye? No, no, no, no.  This is too serious. Instead, you can say... 

Dan: Bye. See you later. 

Vanessa: When you finish working,  

you can tell your coworkers... Dan: 

Bye. See you later. Vanessa: 

When your class is finished, you can  tell your teacher and your classmates... 

Dan: Bye. See you tomorrow. 

Vanessa: Bye, see you later, bye, see you tomorrow,  

is very common for saying goodbye. Now, I'm  finishing this lesson, what can you say to me?  

It's family time. Can you answer some  common small talk questions about family?  

Do you have a big family? Dan: 

Yes, I have a lot of family members. Vanessa: 

Do you live close to your family? Dan: 

No, they live far away. Vanessa: 

Do you see your family often? Dan: 

No, I see them twice a year. Vanessa: 

Tell me in the comments, do you have a big family?  Daughter. Daughter. I am a daughter. Notice the G  

and H are silent. Daughter. Notice the T changes  to D in American English. Daughter, der, daughter.  

Don't forget a clear R at the end of the word.  Daughter. Say it with me, daughter. I am a  

daughter. Are you a daughter? Don't say mother and  father to your parents. It's too formal. Instead,  

you can say not mother, mom, or children can  say mommy, not father, but you can say dad, or  

children can say daddy, not grandmother, you can  say grandma, not grandfather, you can say grandpa. 

My husband likes puzzles, my son likes puzzles.  My husband likes building, my son likes building.  

Like father, like son. This wonderful idiom means  the father and son are similar, but it can be  

bad too. For example, if the father says bad  words, the son will say bad words too. Like  

father, like son. Do you think fathers and  sons are often similar? Let's go shopping. 

Dan: Can I help you find something? 

Vanessa: Yes, I'm looking for a warm black  

coat. The phrase I'm looking for is great to use  when you're shopping. I'm looking for an English  

book. I'm looking for moon cakes. I'm looking for  baby diapers. I'm looking for the makeup section.  

Can I help you find something? Can you  use I'm looking for in the comments? 

Let's talk about buying. I bought this shirt  yesterday. Bought is the past tense of the verb to  

buy. I am buying this shirt today. Right now, I am  buying. I will buy another shirt tomorrow, in the  

future. I have already bought 10 shirts. I need  to stop buying shirts. What will you buy tomorrow? 

Hey, hey, come here. Ssh, ssh, I need to tell  you something. I hate shopping. I really hate  

shopping, going to the store, the bright lights,  all the people. No. If I need to buy something,  

I shop online. To shop online means you buy it  on the internet. It's so much better for me.  

What about you? Do you shop online or in a store? I want to buy shoes. I wanna buy shoes. Want to,  

wanna. I wanna buy shoes. I am going to  buy shoes. I'm gonna buy shoes. Going to,  

gonna. I'm gonna buy shoes. What do you  wanna buy? What are you gonna buy? I  

bought this dress for $50, but after one week,  look what happened, this dress is a rip-off. A  

rip-off means that the price was high  but the quality was low. For example,  

the restaurant was very expensive but the food  didn't taste good. The restaurant was a rip-off.  

What a rip-off. Or you can say Vanessa's  lessons are not a rip-off, they're great. 

Can you describe a room in English? Walls are the  sides of the room. The ceiling is the top of the  

room. The floor is the bottom of the room. There's  an inside door, and I have an outside door.  

The windows in my room have a glass pane. Do  you have any windows in your room? Where do  

I sit in my living room? I sit on the couch.  Some people call it a sofa, but I say couch.  

The couch cushions are on the back of the couch,  the couch pillows are on the side of the couch,  

and the couch legs are on the bottom of the  couch. If your couch is smaller for two people,  

it's called a loveseat. Do you have a couch? Do you use electronics? Of course. This  

is a charger. The long part is the cord. This  charger has two prongs, but sometimes, there are  

three prongs. This charger also has a  USB port. Where do I put the charger?  

I put it in an outlet. Do you have a charger? Let's talk about lights. What is this called?  

It's a lamp, or table lamp. On  the outside, there is a lampshade,  

and on the inside, there is a light bulb,  or maybe you have a light on the ceiling.  

This is a ceiling light. Let's practice  the L pronunciation. The lamp is a light.  

The lamp is a light. Put your tongue between  your teeth. Say it with me, the lamp is a light.  

Great work. Do you have a lamp in your room? Let's talk about the floor. Fun, right?  

This is a hardwood floor. This is a carpet, or  a big rug. This is a tile floor. This is a small  

rug. Here is a play mat where my son plays.  What kind of floor do you have in your house? 

Let's talk about TV. You can say television,  but TV is much more common. Say it with me, TV,  

TV. A TV remote, the power button,  the volume button, a TV sound bar,  

or maybe you have speakers, a TV mount, or  maybe you have a TV console. I never watch TV,  

but my husband likes to watch hockey  games on the weekend. Do you have a TV? 

I like house decorations. These are  paintings. Can you see my husband and I?  

The painting is in a frame. The frame is  hanging on the wall. These are not paintings,  

they are prints, but they are also in a frame on  the wall. Some decorations on my shelf, these are  

knick-knacks, little things that I  like to display on a shelf. Pictures,  

these pictures are in picture frames.  Do you have any pictures on your wall? 

Let's talk about cars. A compact car, a sedan,  a convertible car, a hatchback, a pickup truck,  

or a pickup, or a truck, a minivan, like I have,  an SUV, a sports car. What kind of car do you  

have? I have a minivan for my family. On the front  of the car, there is the hood. Inside the hood  

is the engine. Here are the headlights for driving  at night. The tire is here. The inside is the rim.  

On the side of the car is the gas tank. On the  back of the car, there is the trunk. In the trunk,  

you can carry things. There are also brake  lights for stopping, blinkers for turning,  

and a license plate. My license plate is  only on the back of the car. What about you?  

Do you have a license plate on the  back or on the front of your car? 

I use my key to unlock my doors. My key is a  remote, but some cars have a regular key. In some  

cars, you need to put the key into the ignition.  But in my car, I only need to push a button.  

After I start the car, I put the car in drive  or in reverse, and hold on to the steering  

wheel. Is your car key a remote like mine? I'm sitting in the driver's seat. Here is my  

headrest. Beside me is the passenger seat. Behind  me is the backseat. Because I have two children,  

I have two car seats in my car. A car seat is  a special seat for a child to keep them safe.  

Because my children are small, their car seats  are rear-facing. But when they get older,  

their car seats will be front-facing.  Do you have a car seat in your car? 

When it rains, you need to turn on the windshield  wipers. When it's hot or cold, you need to turn  

the air vents towards yourself. To check your  speed, you need to look at the speedometer.  

To check your gas level, you need to look  at the gas gauge. When someone is annoying,  

you can honk your horn. Do you honk your horn  often? To see behind you while you're driving, you  

need to look in the rear view mirror. While you  drive, you look through the windshield. You can  

roll down your windows to get some fresh air. You  can put down the visor if the sun is too bright.  

Don't forget to put on your seatbelt. Buckle  up. Do you always wear your seatbelt? I hope so. 

Let's talk about the pedals of a car. Before I  drive, I need to take off the emergency parking  

brake. I push the gas pedal and the brake pedal.  I hit the brakes if somebody stops suddenly  

in front of me. A manual car will also have  a clutch pedal and a stick shift. My car is  

an automatic. It has a shifter for park, reverse,  and drive. Do you have a manual or automatic car? 

Welcome to my office. This is my home office.  I work from home as your English teacher,  

but maybe you work in an office. I usually  sit in an office chair and I sit at the desk.  

This is the desktop and these are the desk  legs. In my office, I have some office supplies,
