today. All of the 10 real life daily

English expressions that you're going to

learn today were used in my most recent

English lesson where I made bread and I

talked to you while I was baking bread,

while I was mixing the ingredients and

making a little bonus drink as well. So,

these are real life words that I just

used while I was chitchatting while

making bread. So, the first phrase that

we're going to look at today is

lukewarm.

Lukewarm. This phrase is actually a two

for one. It can mean two different

things. So, let's watch the original

clip while I was making bread and I used

the phrase lukewarm. Then I'll explain

it to you and then we'll take a look at

that clip again. And I want you to see

how your listening skills improve, how

you can understand more of the context

based on the explanations that I've

shared with you. So, let's watch the

clip and then we'll walk through it

together. All right. I'm going to add a

tablespoon of salt as well. And next,

we're going to add water. So, you want

water that's kind of lukewarm.

In this clip, you heard me say you want

to add water that's lukewarm. This is

the first most basic meaning for

lukewarm when talking about water. It's

not too hot, not too cold. It is

lukewarm. You can touch it and feel

like, okay, it's not going to burn me.

It's not freezing. It's just lukewarm.

Well, what about the second meaning for

this phrase? What if I said, "He's so

lukewarm."

Does that mean his skin is not too hot

and not too cold? Nope. This is a

negative thing to say about someone. If

you're talking about a person and you

call them lukewarm, it means that they

don't have values or standards or

passion. So, for example, one of the

causes in the world that I care about is

caring about the North Korean people. I

used to live in South Korea for a few

years and I did a lot of research and I

met a lot of North Korean people. It was

something that touched me really deeply.

So, it's a part of my life now that I

donate and I participate in some

organizations that help to care for

North Korean people. This is something

that is a passion of me of mine

personally.

But what if I meet someone and I start

talking about uh North Korean people and

things that can help them and problems

that they face and that person just

says, "Yeah, well, you know, their

leader's crazy." And well, yesterday I

had a sandwich for lunch.

Is that going to kill my passion? Yes.

In that moment, I would probably

feel disappointed. I might say, "Man,

when I was talking about my passion for

helping North Korean people, he was just

so lukewarm. He didn't care at all. He

wasn't curious. He didn't even have a

heart for them. He wasn't even

empathetic towards them. He was just

lukewarm." Not a good thing, right? It

doesn't mean you need to have passion

about everything, but when someone is

sharing their passion with you, you can

at least say, "Oh, that's really

interesting. Tell me more about it."

Okay, you're connecting with them. All

right, let's watch that clip one more

time, and you're going to see how

lukewarm was used in that original sense

to talk about the temperature of water.

Make sure that you don't say this about

someone to their face. You are lukewarm.

a little bit negative, right? All right,

let's watch. All right, I'm gonna add a

tablespoon of salt as well. And next,

we're gonna add water. So, you want

water that's kind of lukewarm.

The second phrase is we'll see what

happens. Let's watch the clip and then

we'll talk about it. I have done that

before. Tried to bake bread with cold

water. Doesn't work. All right, so we're

going to put in three of these. I'm

going to put in a little bit less than

three.

and we'll see what happens. In this

clip, you heard me say, "I'll put in a

little less than three cups of water and

we'll see what happens." I want you to

notice first the pronunciation of this

phrase, it is we will see what happens.

But when we make the contraction, we

will. It could be we, this is the clear

pronunciation, we

wheel. But when we're speaking

relatively fast in American English, we

often reduce this and it just sounds

like wool. Wool. You're almost

swallowing that final sound. Wool. We'll

see what happens. We'll see what

happens. It's these types of

pronunciation tricks that often make

English sound so fast when you're

watching movies and TV shows. So, good

news. is you just learned one

pronunciation trick and that will

hopefully help you to understand a

little bit better. So, when would we use

this? We'll see what happens. This is

when you're not exactly sure what the

results going to be, but you're open to

figuring it out. So, for example, today,

right now, my 2-year-old daughter is

taking a nap, but sometimes she decides

not to sleep.

And today, I was planning on making this

lesson for you. So, I need her to take a

nap so that I can record this. Well, in

the beginning of the day, I saw my

neighbor and they asked, "Well, what are

you going to do today?" I said, "Well,

when Matilda takes a nap, I'm going to

try to record some English lessons, but

we'll see what happens." I don't know

exactly if she's going to fall asleep. I

don't know exactly if I'll be able to

record this lesson for you, but guess

what? She is napping. So, hooray. I can

film this lesson for you. So, at the

beginning of the day, I didn't know what

was going to happen, but right now, I do

know there was success. Okay, let's

watch this original clip again, and you

can hear this phrase. We'll see what

happens. Listen for that pronunciation

as well. Let's watch. I have done that

before. Tried to bake bread with cold

water. Doesn't work. All right, so we're

going to put in three of these. I'm

going to put in a little bit less than

three, and we'll see what happens. The

next phrase is a fun one, but you know

what? Who cares?

Let's listen to the original clip from

the conversation and then I'll help you

use it yourself. Let's watch. Sorry. I

am very unofficial when it comes to

this. But you know what? This recipe is

so forgiving, who cares? In this clip,

you heard me say, I'm very unofficial

when it comes to this. But you know

what? This recipe is forgiving, so who

cares?

This phrase is used when you're not

really worried about something. Maybe

it's something that's small, like adding

the wrong amount of ingredients to a

forgiving recipe. Or maybe it's

something else. You're not worried about

it. So, you might say, "Well, you know

what? Who cares? I don't care. So, I'm

not going to worry about it." We could

use this in the same example where I'm

thinking about, "I hope my daughter

sleeps so that I can record some

lessons." And as I'm thinking about it,

well, let's say she does not nap. She

just stays awake. She is laughing and

talking, maybe crying, and I can't

record the lessons that I want to. Well,

I might say, "Well, you know what? Who

cares? I'll just record them tomorrow or

the next day whenever she takes a nap

next." This is an important mindset. In

the past, I have gotten frustrated and

angry because I thought I would be able

to do the plans that I wanted. I'd be

able to record a lesson. I'd be able to

work. I'd be able to see friends.

Whatever it was that I wanted to do, and

when the circumstances didn't work out,

maybe my kids didn't nap, maybe it was

raining outside, whatever it was, and my

plans got cancelled,

instead of getting frustrated or angry,

you can use this phrase. Well, you know

what? Who cares? I'll do it another

time. Okay, let's see how this was used

in the original conversation where I was

baking bread. And I hope you'll be able

to use this too to just shrug off things

that you might be worried about. Let's

watch. Sorry, I am very unofficial when

it comes to this. But you know what?

This recipe is so forgiving, who cares?

The next daily life English phrase is a

fun one. It is blood, sweat, and tears.

This is a fixed phrase that always

sticks together. So, let's watch the

original clip and then I'll break it

down with you so that you can use it

yourself. Let's watch. You got to put

some muscle behind it.

You gotta put some not blood, sweat, and

tears. It's not that hard, but you got

to mix it up a little bit. In this clip,

I used this phrase in a negative way. I

said you don't have to put blood, sweat,

and tears into it. It's not that hard. I

was trying to explain that that bread

recipe is so easy. And when you're

kneading it, when you're mixing it,

yeah, mix it for a few minutes, but you

don't have to put blood, sweat, and

tears into it. This trifold threepart

phrase, blood, sweat, tears.

It evokes a sense of working hard. You

have put everything into it. And I said,

for that bread recipe, you don't need to

put everything into it. Just do a little

bit. You can do the minimal work and it

will still turn out to be a good loaf of

bread. That's my kind of baking. But

when can you use this phrase in a more

positive sense? I want to give you an

example about this work that I do,

teaching you English. I have been

working with my business, Speak English

with Vanessa, teaching you English here

on YouTube, and I also make courses that

can help to guide you through your

English journey. For the last almost 12

years, I can't believe it. And you

guessed it, I have put blood, sweat, and

tears into this business. I don't know

if I have actually bled. I have sweat. I

have probably cried. I have shed tears.

So, here it doesn't need to be literal.

I've literally bled. I've literally

sweat. I've literally had tears. I'm

talking about this hard effort. All of

the effort that it takes to build a

business over 12 years. If you have ever

done this, then you know it takes blood,

sweat, and tears to accomplish

successfully. It's a lot of work, but

you guys are worth it. I love you. Each

and every one of you. All right, let's

watch the original clip so that you can

see how I used blood, sweat, and tears.

Let's watch. You got to put some muscle

behind it.

You got to put some not blood, sweat,

and tears. It's not that hard, but you

got to mix it up a little bit. The next

daily life English phrase is actually a

suffix, which means it goes at the end

of many different words, and it is ish.

We're gonna take a look at how it was

used in the original conversation and

then I'm going to read you part of this

classic children's book that uses this

phrase a lot. Let's watch the clip and

then I'll talk to you about it. Let's

go. All right. I'm going to start mixing

it 30 times. I'm just going to count to

myself. Is 30ish. I'm trying to They

call it develop the gluten.

In this clip, you heard me say, "I'm

going to mix this 30 times." And then I

paused and said, "30ish."

You might even use this gesture where

you kind of wiggle your hand back and

forth while it's open. 30ish.

You might not even need to sayish.

If you do this motion, you could say,

"I'm going to bake this 30 times." Okay,

I didn't say 30ish, but it implied the

same meaning. What does that mean? It

means about, not exactly. So, if you mix

it 30 times exactly or 34 times, it

doesn't matter for this recipe. It's not

exact. It's just 30ish.

This is a really fun suffix to add. It

can add some color or flare to your

language. You can use this with so many

words. That pillow is blueish.

It was rainingish

outside.

I'm feeling kind of tireish today.

I did some workish today.

It means not exactly work. You see how

so flexible. Well, I want to read you an

excerpt from a book that I was reading

my daughter this morning. It is called

The Lorax. It's one of my favorite

children's books of all time. It is very

deep about caring for the environment.

It is very silly. It uses so many madeup

words, words that are not actually

English.

So, if you read this as an English

learner, just know there's a lot of

madeup words. But here is a section

where he is the author is describing

this little character. He's called the

Lorax.

and he's trying to describe his

appearance. Well, this is a an imaginary

madeup creature. So, how do you describe

how he looks? It's kind of hard. But

when you have the power of the suffix

ish, all of a sudden, you can describe

him. So, listen to how this creature,

the Lorax, is described. He was shortish

and oldish and brownish and mossy. And

he spoke with a voice that was sharpish

and bossy. So here ish is used at the

end of so many words. And how fun is

that? It's poetry. It's descriptive.

It's a great expression that you can add

to your vocabulary as well. Okay, so

let's see how this was used again in the

real conversation. And I challenge you

to use ish

in your conversations when you're

describing something that's about

something. Let's watch. All right. I'm

going to start mixing it 30 times. I'm

just going to count to myself. Is 30ish.

I'm trying to They call it develop the

gluten.

The next daily life phrase is hands on.

Hands on. Let's see how it was used and

then we'll talk about it together. They

call it five minute arteasonal bread

because it's about five minutes of hands

on work. In this clip, you heard me say

how there's only about five minutes of

handson time. There's a lot of waiting.

You have to wait for two hours. You have

to wait for 35 minutes. But the amount

of hands on time is only about five

minutes. What does this mean? Well, in

the case of baking bread, it is actually

using my hands for five minutes. It is

hands-on for 5 minutes. But the general

sense of this expression is that it is

only five minutes when you're actively

doing something. So, let me give you

another example of how you can use

hands-on to talk about actively doing

something. If you are a parent, if

you're a mom or a dad, or if you're a

grandparent, a grandma or a grandpa,

well, when you are with the children, do

you just sit on the couch and watch them

play? Or do you read them books? Do you

play with them? Do you chase them? What

kind of parent are you? What kind of

grandparent are you? Are you a handson

parent? Or maybe you are a handsoff

parent.

I think as kids we always want a handson

parent. Someone who will read with us

when we want them to. Someone who will

play with us, who will chase us. This is

a handson parent. As a parent, I cannot

always be hands-on.

Sometimes I need to let them play by

themselves so that I can get other

things done or just take a little break.

But it is important to be hands-on

sometimes with your kids or grandkids,

right? So that's the time when you are

active. You are a handson parent. All

right, let's watch and see how hands-on

was originally used so that you can use

it yourself. Let's watch. They call it

five minute arteasonal bread because

it's about 5 minutes of hands-on work.

The next daily life English expression

is to embrace something. Well, how can

we use this? Does it talk about a hug?

Embracing something or someone? Not

exactly. Let's take a look at how I used

it in the baking video and then we'll

break it down together. Let's watch. I

put a spoonful of that in tea. And I

drink tea all the time. Every night I

drink herbal tea like an old lady. It's

okay. I'll embrace it. In this clip, I

said, "I drink tea every night like an

old lady." It's okay. I just embrace it.

Here, I am accepting that I drink herbal

tea every night. Maybe it's not

something that most 30 something young

people drink, but who cares? Maybe it's

a little weird, but I will accept it or

I will embrace it. When you hug someone,

you can say, "I'm embracing someone."

And maybe it's kind of that idea, but in

a figurative sense. I am embracing the

idea that maybe it's not normal to drink

herbal tea every night.

Uh, unless you're an old lady, but I'm

going to accept it because it's just

something that I enjoy doing. And I

challenge you to use this phrase as well

when it comes to English. Maybe for you,

you wish that your English speakaking

accent was not so strong that you were

able to speak more clearly so that other

people can understand you better. People

often have to say, "Sorry, what' you

say?" when you speak. and you often feel

frustrated at yourself because the way

that you pronounce things isn't easily

understandable. That is extremely common

and very normal when you're learning

another language. But what can you do

about it? Well, of course, you can

practice your pronunciation. I have

plenty of pronunciation lessons that you

can study here on my YouTube channel.

But while you are improving your

pronunciation, what should you do? You

need to embrace it or we could say

embrace the way that you speak. Accept

it. You speak the way that you speak

because you speak another language. You

have a native language and that is why

you have an accent when you speak in

English. So accepting that you come from

a different culture, a different

country, a different background, a

different language. And why do you have

an accent when you speak in English?

Well, it's because you have this whole

beautiful existence, something that I

don't have. I only have English as my

native language. So, embracing the

accent that you have when you speak in

English, that is an important thing,

especially as you're on your English

learning journey. Okay, let's take a

look at how embrace was used to talk

about drinking tea in that conversation.

Let's watch. I put a spoonful of that in

tea. And I drink tea all the time. Every

night I drink herbal tea like an old

lady. It's okay. I'll embrace it. The

next daily life phrase is just to be

safe. Just in case. Both of these have a

very similar meaning, and I used them

together for extra emphasis. So, let's

see that original clip, and then we'll

talk about it together. Maybe you can,

if you make this, let me know. Do you

leave yours on the counter or do you put

it in the fridge? I like to put mine in

the fridge just to be safe. Just in

case. I said I like to put my fermented

drink in the fridge just to be safe.

Just in case. So, what am I worried

about? What is the danger here? Well,

something could be rotten. Something

could get moldy. I would be drinking

that, eating that, and getting sick. Not

very fun. So, to be safe or just to be

safe, just in case it gets moldy, I will

put it in the fridge and it will delay

that process and help it to stay fresher

for longer. I'm not quite sure about

that with the honey process. If you know

more about fermenting with honey, let me

know in the comments. But for me, just

to be safe, just in case, I put it in

the fridge and it helps me to feel more

confident when I'm drinking that drink

and I know that I'm not going to get

sick. Now, you can use these phrases

separately and it's no problem. I just

use them together as extra emphasis. Let

me give you a quick example and I want

you to be able to use this yourself as

well. So, it's pretty common. This

happened a few days ago. My son's

teacher sent a message to all of the

parents in the class saying, "We played

in the rain all afternoon. Please put a

dry set of clothes in your child's

backpack for tomorrow." Okay, I did

that. No problem. But I know that my son

often gets his feet wet even though he's

wearing rain boots. So, what did I do? I

put two pairs of socks in his backpack

just to be safe. Or we could say, I put

two pairs of socks in his backpack just

in case. Well, if he splashes in a

puddle, rain gets in his boots, and his

socks get wet, he's going to need

another pair. What if he does it again?

I know as a mother, as his mother, that

that is very likely. So, I put an extra

pair of socks in his backpack just to be

safe, just in case. There's not real

danger here. If his feet get wet, okay,

it's probably fine. But we use this

phrase when we're trying to avoid

something. Avoid the discomfort of wet

feet. So, you can use it, no problem.

All right, let's watch how this was used

in the conversation. So, you can use it,

too. Maybe you can. If you make this,

let me know. Do you leave yours on the

counter or do you put it in the fridge?

I like to put mine in the fridge just to

be safe, just in case. The next daily

life phrase is a fun one. It is don't

mind me. Don't mind me. You might know

the phrase I don't mind and it means I

don't have an opinion or I don't care.

We're going to use that word mind, but

in a slightly different phrase, don't

mind me. What does this mean? Well,

let's take a look at how I used it in

the conversation and then I'll explain

it to you so that you can use it as

well. Let's watch. And I'm going to kind

of gonna kind of use it as like a glue

first. All right. Sorry, I'm just using

my fingers. Don't mind me. Ah,

in this clip, I was a little bit

embarrassed

because at home, the way that you bake

or the way that you cook is maybe a

little more informal than a way that

someone might do it for an official

cooking video. So, I said, I'm just

using my finger to catch this honey.

Don't mind me. I felt embarrassed that I

was using my hands, which is, you know,

kind of frowned upon, I guess, but it's

totally normal. I bet you do it as well

in the kitchen, in your own home. My

hands were clean. It's fine. But I used

this phrase, don't mind me, to mean,

don't be bothered by this. Don't pay

attention to this. Continue walking

along. Don't look over here. It's not a

big deal. So, this is kind of an

expression that has a little bit of

nuance to it. So, I want to give you a

couple other examples. Let's say that

it's your husband's birthday and you

have a present in your car that you want

to bring inside to some hiding place so

that he doesn't see it. But there he is

in your living room. So, you walk in

with it behind your back and you have a

very suspicious look on your face and he

says, "Hey, what are you doing?" Say,

"Oh, don't mind me. Don't mind me.

Okay. Well, you were obviously doing

something secretive, but you want to

convey to him, look away, continue doing

what you were doing. Don't pay attention

to me. And probably if it's around his

birthday, he'll know, okay, it's

probably something to do with my

birthday. I shouldn't keep asking. No,

what are you doing? What are you really

doing? No, just let it go because you're

trying to hide something for his

birthday. I would say that we most often

use don't mind me when we're doing

something that's kind of silly and kind

of embarrassing. So, a couple weeks ago,

maybe a month or so ago at this point, I

made a video with my neighbor Michelle,

the best neighbor in the world, and we

were talking about our plants, the

things that we grow, the things that we

don't grow, the things that we wish we

grew, and some of the processes that we

use. and she said, "Well, Vanessa, did I

see you in the garden with a needle

injecting your plants?"

We were talking about an organic garden

and not using pesticides. And I said,

"Yes, I had a syringe, a needle. Inside

of that, there was a bacteria that is a

naturally occurring substance. It is

technically organic. It is not a

man-made chemical. And if you put it in

the bottom of your pumpkin plants at the

base of the stem, it can help prevent a

certain type of beetle from destroying

your plants,

but it's kind of embarrassing to be in

your garden with a syringe.

So, in that instance, I could have said,

if I was walking around the garden with

a syringe looking for my pumpkin plants

and Michelle saw me and said, "Vanessa,

what are you doing?" I might use this

phrase, "H, don't mind me. Don't mind

me." Because it's something that's

slightly weird or embarrassing and I'm

just trying to hint, hey, look away. Not

a big deal. Don't pay me any attention.

Kind of fun, right? All right. I want

you to see how this was used in the

original conversation to show some

embarrassment. Don't watch this part.

Don't mind me. Let's watch. And I'm

going to kind of going to kind of use it

as like a glue first. All right. Sorry.

I'm just using my fingers. Don't mind

me. Ah.

Well, our final real daily life phrase

is I have found that. Or we could simply

say, I found that. I want you to take a

look at how I used this in the original

conversation and then we'll talk about

it together. Let's watch. Uh I'm not

quite sure exactly what this does.

Maybe makes the gluten better or

something. I don't know. But I have

found that it works much better and the

bread is a better texture if I mix it

just a bit.

In this clip, I said, "I have found that

the bread has a better texture when I

mix it after it has risen." This is

something that I have discovered from my

own personal experience. Maybe there's a

scientific explanation for it. I don't

know it, but it's something that I

wanted to show you. I've experimented

with different ways of making this

recipe and in my experience I have

discovered or I have found that this

method works the best. I'm not using the

word to find to talk about physically

searching for something. Can you help me

find my keys here? I'm talking about

finding an idea, finding a method. And

for me, I have found that that's the

best way for me to make bread. So for

me, I might say, I've found that when I

drink coffee in the morning, I am so

wired all day that I can hardly focus at

all. Wired means a little bit crazy, a

little bit anxious, a little bit of your

heart pounding too fast.

So I don't drink coffee. Instead, I

drink a cup of black tea in the morning

and that is enough caffeine for me. I

have experimented. I have discovered

that drinking black coffee or milk

coffee or any kind of coffee is not a

good fit for me. Instead, black tea is

better. So, I have a question for you.
