everybody uh and after this stream I
will be streaming on my
channel and we'll be talking about
language learning
benefits link in the
chat fan Ali says how can I learn idioms
easily how can I learn IDs easily first
question is why do you want
to and the next question is what do you
mean by
idioms uh do you mean like
the elephant in the
room the elephant in the room is a good
one but I think the elephant in the room
is easy to learn cuz it's so
memorable you know the elephant in the
room it's the obvious thing that no one
wants to talk
about the big elephant in the
room the obvious thing that no one want
wants to talk
about I would say that if you find it
hard this is my
advice if you find it hard to remember
or learn a specific
idiom don't bother learning it there you
go that's my advice if you find it hard
to remember or learn a specific idiom
don't bother learning it idioms are not
very useful
probably the best thing about idioms is
they are very memorable so they're easy
to learn but if you find it hard to
learn an idiom don't learn it no
point uh Ernest said would you explain
why we use the indefinite article before
the word
ache what we
don't ah we don't use a before ache a
ache that's not right it's an ache you
might say a headache or a stomach
ache but with a with just ache it would
be an an
ache like I have an ache in my
leg well probably to be honest we' say a
bit of a bit of an ache look it's an
ache I have a bit of an ache in my leg
so yeah we don't use our before
egg uh blah blah blah blah blah how PR
hiss thank you for explaining it is it
necessary to learn business English
especially
no it's
not you don't need to especially learn
business
English I would say learn English in
contexts which you find interesting the
question is uh do you especially need to
learn business English and uh the Prof
Prof Rich
answer is um learn English in context
which you find
interesting
and
familiar so if for example you're
interested in business then yeah learn
business in in English if you're
interested in video games learn video
game English if you are if you find
Science interesting then learn science
English uh the important thing is to
learn in a context which you find
interesting and familiar let's make the
learning as engaging as
possible pavi says how can I learn
spoken English um
speak sorry pavi but that's it
how to use absolute phrases in writing
what do you mean absolute phrases can
you say that again yush what do you mean
absolute phrases yogish what do you mean
absolute
phrases okay moving
on Ernest says for example I have a
headache well I have a headache is
incorrect cuz you can't use a
contraction with the main verb I
have
so that's not right okay it's I have a
headache for
one why do we use a well because it's a
headache right what if we say I've
had uh four headaches in the last week
it's
accountable it's accountable noun that's
why we use the indefinite
article it's okay isn't it is using does
using does using idioms make you more
native yeah it does
but
but there are more important
things how to prefer for exams
teacher do do loads of practice
exams yush says how to use absolute F
phrases for example she was in her room
tears rolling down her
cheeks
oh
ah you mean nominative
absolutes made up of a noun or pronoun
with a participle
phrase
yes good
one
okay let's have a look at some in the
context of medical vocabulary these
absolute
phrases maybe that will help you since
that was our topic for
today
okay okay so we got a few here her hand
steady the surgeon began the delicate
operation
the patient recovering quickly the
doctors felt
relieved with the lab results clear the
diagnosis was
confirmed and the medicine working
effectively his symptoms began to
disappear to me that doesn't seem
particularly complicated I I wonder I
wonder what you find Difficult about
that
I feel like it
doesn't just disappear one second
doesn't look massively difficult to me
to use
those I
mean it's just a prepositional clause or
a
noun it's a noun and a gerund or it's a
prepositional Clause with a verb at the
start of the sentence and it has sort of
a cleft style word
order so instead of his symptoms began
to disappear because the medicine was
working effectively then we flip it and
say the medicine working effectively his
symptoms began to
disappear I don't I don't feel like
there's a lot of complication
here teacher how did you cut that
sentence what do you mean how do I cut
how do I cut what sentence what do you
mean
pavi um the nnest sorry I wasn't clear
before
so you can only so
contractions are normally used with
auxiliary verbs right so like I don't
have a pen I don't there's the
contraction right or I've been to France
right and there's the
contraction and you can see that do and
have here are auxiliary verbs but if
we're using have as a main verb like I
have a pen or I don't have a pen you
can't contract have because it's a main
verb you get it
now that isn't always the case because
obviously we have our wonderful spoken
contractions like gonna and wner and
with gonner and wner we are Contracting
with main verbs but with traditional
contractions you can't contract with au
with main verbs only with
auxiliaries is it right to say I have a
high temperature instead of saying I
have a fever yeah that's
great even just I have a
temperature any of those it's
fine absolute phrases seem grammatically
incorrect no they're not
they're correct the grammar is absolute
phrases why do you think they're
grammatically
incorrect because they don't have
subject verb object word order well
there's load there's loads of sentences
that have
that I mean we could go over
loads had I the chance I'd go to France
does that seem grammatic Ally correct
what about uh never would I trust such a
crazy guy does that seem gically
correct how about you go over
there now that okay or just go over
there
you go over there
child what about
that
how
about okay enough
enough so we think of a a a passive in
the future really
complex no wait
many diseases will have been being cured
by scientists in the
future that sounds a bit weird but okay
let me let me something else
there
um electric cars will have been being
driven around for decades by the year
2040 there you go
enjoy uh if I were a billionaire I
wouldn't have to struggle like this
that's correct farman but your spelling
of billionaire is
wrong hey fever allergic ventis or high
temperature I'm
sorry um hay fever is like allergic yeah
it's an allergic
reaction how can we say to give
injections in other words uh
administer or a vaccine or
whatever
administer what else uh give you a shot
I need to give you a quick
shot colloquially a
jab
ah excuse

minutes Cambridge books which books did
you learn English I learn English from
life I am English
teacher Rich what's going on I was
singing Eminem all right do you British
people read the same grammar books as we
non-native speakers read
no I mean I I I read some grammar books
because I'm an English teacher but
normally British people
don't I the the in my opinion the best
grammar book for
teachers is grammar for English language
teachers by Martin
parrot it's expensive
though that
one that's a great
book difficult expensive but good
interation hard to learn correct
interation is very hard to learn one way
to try to learn intonation is to
go so if I say do you want a cup of
tea another one is la la la do you want
a cup of tea la la la la la la he meant
which book did you learn English from I
didn't learn English from books I am
English could you please tell me how we
should learn Advanced
English get an interest in advanced
language and then do it a lot in English
get a vocabulary book learn how to study
vocabulary I've got loads of videos
about this on my channel Professor reach
youtube.com/ Professor
reach uh Sani says is it true Banger
means sausage yep it can colloquial
language we say bangers it seems that
only listening to em and M and other
rappers doesn't help us neither improve
our English nor strengthen unfortunately
yes Ernest it does it it does if you
tell you what if you learn if you learn
like let me
think if you if you learn how to sing
very well a song like
um like Forgot About
Dre you learn to sing a song like Forgot
About Dre with Eminem that will help
your English
so yeah yeah I've got a
channel what's your
problem Link in the chat
coder is it okay if I just learned basic
grammar I find it hard to learn all
grammar by heart it's different to learn
from my mother T tongue yeah leafy you
don't need to learn grammar you don't
need to learn grammar at
all I I only recommend learning grammar
if you're interested but actually you
can you can learn the language without
grammar you can learn the language
phrasy so just need to learn vocabulary
and phrases and to be honest leafy
looking at your English it's quite good
so I think you're fine to just continue
with phrases Ernest says I've used
double contractions my bad what's the
problem did you use double I didn't see
that uh it seems strength oh you mean
double
negation um loads of people use double
negation people use double negation all
