oh yeah what is up I'm Ethan your
real-life English fluency coach and
today we are learning with modern family
we have a really great lesson in which
we learned the importance of knowing all
about our cultural heritage and we learn
some ways to not offend people or maybe
to offend them depending on the
situation so let's learn and laugh let's
get into it you told me not to see that
it is delicious this is the food of your
people you can't get you anything else
actually I'm we're just trying to teach
our daughter about your country and as
I'm saying that I'm hoping you're from
Vietnam I was born there so was Lily oh
it's a beautiful country my family still
lives I hate Lily oh honey we don't hate
I hate Vietnam okay oh we need just a
second
Lily that was rude no it's important
that you celebrate the culture of your
ancestors you are Vietnamese no I'm not
I'm gay I'm gay
honey no you're not gay you are just
confused oh my god what is wrong with me
it's like I oh please we have tons of
lesbian friends that you would reference
her friends and not us okay we should
just go no nobody's going anywhere until
she finishes the whole soup no Gloria
it's fine no no it's not fine that's the
problem with this country nobody cares
where they come from they just want
cheeseburgers and bread school and they
have forgotten about Columbia okay
I can't help but feel that maybe you're
bringing something to the table that's
possibly not at all about Lily I think
you're right it's just that I feel like
I'm losing my children to America
they're just going to grow up and become
boring old white people most of our
friends are white actually okay can
everybody just calm down and go back to
their own conversations thank you Hey
hey what's going on with you Manny has
forgotten most of his Spanish and yo I'm
sure he's not even going to learn it I
know this is silly but I just don't like
feeling like I'm so different from the
rest of my family oh honey he feels so
lonely yeah just a second Lily is that
why you want to be gay to be more like
your daddies oh honey no the three of us
are a family even though we come from
different places you know you were born
in Vietnam and I grew up in a city and
even though he never talks about it your
daddy grew up in a farm point is is that
we're a family because we love each
other okay
and you know what you just cost the
scene in the restaurant and you can't
get any more like your daddy's the man
maybe I'll just take Manny and Joe to
Colombia this summer I think that's a
great idea I really think that keeping
in touch with your heritage only
enriches our culture absolutely I think
we would all be better off if people
would go back to where they came from I
I'll pull the car around yes
a cheeseburger
how many cheeseburgers is a special soup
called five you told me not to say that
word cheeseburger a hamburger with a
slice of cheese on top of the meat in
the US this is the food that first comes
to most people's minds when they think
about something that's tasty but
thoroughly unhealthy but a Vietnamese
soup pronounced fun the reason Lily says
that she isn't supposed to say that word
is that she mistakes it for [ __ ] these
is the food of your feed for the
something of your people this expression
is used to show that something comes
from your nation culture or ancestors
example the land of my people is lush
and full of resources
can't get to anything else can I get you
anything here the word get is used as a
synonym of brain this is a common
meaning of this word most learners have
trouble remembering and using example
are you going to the store can you get
me some cereal please actually um we're
just trying to teach our daughter about
your country and as I'm saying that I'm
hoping you're from Vietnam I was born
there so was Lily so was Lily we
commonly used so like we used the words
to or also note that the structure of
this phrase generally consists of so + 2
b + subject example I'm a dentist
what a coincidence so is my brother I
was born in Brazil so as my grandmother
when we respond to a sentence whose main
verb is other than to B we use do does
or did I worked at a supermarket last
year
so did I I love learning English with TV
and movies so do i Lilia honey we don't
hate honey a term of endearment similar
to deer or sweetie can be used for your
partner or for a child as in this scene
example where do you want to go for
dinner honey we need just a second we
need just a second
we need just a second that was rude rude
not having or showing concern or respect
for the rights and feelings of other
people example the little kid was
punished because he was rude to his
teacher it's important that you
celebrate the culture of your ancestors
you are Vietnamese no I'm gay I'm gay
ancestors the predecessors within your
family that is those that came before
you example I'm American but my
ancestors mostly came from Europe you're
Vietnamese Louise fathers are gay she's
confusing nationality and sexual
orientation as identifiers and is in
denial about being Vietnamese because
she does not want to be different from
her adoptive dad's her dad then
recognizes this by saying you're not gay
you're just confused however this is
funny because it is what a parent might
say who was in denial about their child
being a homosexual oh my god what is
wrong with me what is wrong with me what
is wrong with me it's like I oh please
we have tons of lesbian friends tons of
something a lot of example I've got tons
of homework to do
how do you would reference our friends
and not us our friends and not us
how do you would reference our friends
and not us odd if something is odd it is
strange you can describe a situation as
odd beginning a sentence as it's odd
that example it's not that she just
disappeared and didn't say goodbye yo do
you usually watch TV series with
subtitles because you were afraid of
missing important information or not
understand the jokes well you are not
alone and that is why we created our

and for now let's get back into this
lesson with modern family that's the
problem with this country nobody cares
where they come from come from to have
been born in a place
example I live in New York but I come
from Los Angeles they just one
cheeseburgers and bread school prep
school a high or secondary school
designed to prepare students for
university okay I can't help but feel
that maybe you're bringing something to
the table that's possibly not at all
about Lily can't help but we use this
phrase to say that we can't control not
doing something in the past we use
couldn't example I often try to stay in
a diet but sometimes I can't help but
eating a cheeseburger I couldn't help
but burst out laughing at the meeting
bringing something to the table this is
an expression that we commonly use when
someone provides a useful skill or
attribute example they hired him because
it brings great marketing expertise to
the table we can also use this
expression with the meaning of bring up
or discuss something in this scene it is
a funny choice of expression because
they are actually sitting at a table
okay can everybody just calm down and go
back to their own conversations calm
down to become relaxed or to reduce
one's anger or stress example you need
to calm down and then we'll talk about
it
your daddy grew up in a farm yeah your
daddy grew up in a farm point is is that
we're a family because we love each
other
your daddy grew up on a farm cam comes
from the country and grew up on a farm
if you watch modern family you know
Mitchell's being sarcastic because cam
talks about this all the time the point
is we use this phrase as an introduction
to a conclusion or most important part
of what we're saying example the point
is that you should go to sleep earlier
if you don't want to be tired all
morning and you know what you just cost
the scene in the restaurant and you
can't get any more like your daddies
than that cause the scene to create a
loud typically angry or embarrassing
disturbance or display in public example
Mets girlfriend cause the scene when she
saw his ex texted him you can't get
anymore then we use this expression to
emphasize a quality something or someone
has for example if you're discussing
horror movies you could say it doesn't
get more horrific than The Exorcist or
if you're talking about how crazy your
aunt is you might say you can't get any
crazier than aunt Cecilia
another common Caucasian is it doesn't
get any better than that example can
your dream job right out of college
doesn't get any better than that
that's a great idea that's a great idea
that's a great idea I really think that
keeping in touch with your heritage only
enriches our culture keep in touch with
your heritage if you keep in touch with
someone you continue to talk or write to
that person your heritage is the
traditions achievements beliefs etc that
are part of the history of your group or
nation a sense of heritage especially
felt in people who have immigrated to
the United States if they keep in touch
with their heritage they still show an
interest and connection to it and rich
can prove the quality of something by
adding something example making friends
from other countries has enriched my
life experience absolutely I think we
would all be better off if people would
go back to where they came from I I'll
pull the car around yes better off to be
in a more satisfactory condition example
after I broke up with my ex I realized
that I was better off Camryn here gets
ugly looks from everybody because what
he said came off as discriminatory but
he actually didn't mean it
disrespectfully people who are against
immigration say that foreigners should
go back to where they came from
however Cameron meant it as people
should discover their roots burning for
a visit to their place of origin pull
the car around to bring your car to
where you currently are located
so good cheeseburger this is a special
soup called father you told me not to
see that word it is delicious
this is the food of your people can't
get you anything else
