[English]

English speaking course.

>> Learning English doesn't have to be

difficult.

>> Do you want to listen and understand

conversations more easily?

>> Or maybe you want to improve your

pronunciation and speak naturally. If

that sounds like you, then stay with us.

In today's lesson, we'll use an

interesting story to help you learn.

>> You'll practice common phrases,

pronunciation, and real life

expressions.

>> Let's begin.

This recipe calls for two eggs and

flour.

>> Are you sure you know what you're doing?

>> Relax. I watched like three YouTube

videos.

>> That doesn't make you a chef.

>> I didn't say chef, but I do know how to

make pancakes.

>> Great. So, what do we need? This recipe

calls for two eggs and flour.

>> That's it.

>> And milk and sugar and maybe baking

powder.

>> Maybe.

>> Look, it's not rocket science. We can

just mix it all up.

>> You forgot the butter again.

>> No, I didn't. It's Oh, it's still in the

fridge.

>> I'll grab it. You turn on the stove.

>> Uh, how high?

>> Maybe you should watch that video for

the fourth time.

I usually take a walk after dinner.

Yo, did you watch that new show on

Netflix last night?

Nah, I passed out right after dinner.

Too tired.

Man, I don't know how you always crash

so early. Because I work like a dog all

day. You I usually take a walk after

dinner. Helps me digest.

A walk like around the block or what?

Yeah, just a chill 20-minute walk

sometimes with my dog.

Oh, that's why your dog looks happier

than me,

dude. Fresh air helps clear my head. I

tried walking once, got two blocks, saw

a taco truck, and gave up.

That sounds about right. Did you at

least walk back home? Barely. I called

my cousin to pick me up, lazy bum.

It's called energy saving mode. Thank

you.

Can you send me the information by

email?

Hey, did you get the flyer from the

kid's school? What flyer? I didn't see

anything in my son's backpack.

It's about the field trip next week.

They sent it as a hard copy again.

Seriously,

it's 2025. Just email it already. I

know, right? Anyway, I took a pick of

it. Do you want me to send it? Yeah,

please. Could you send me the

information by email?

Or I can send it via Messenger. Isn't

that quicker? I'd rather just keep tabs

on my kids stuff through email. It's

simpler to stay on top of things that

way. Sure, but don't yell if it's

sideways. Still better than grilling my

son about the flyer's whereabouts.

We should meet for coffee sometime.

Hey, long time no see.

>> Huh?

>> Amy. Whoa. I haven't seen you in ages.

I know, right? What's up? Are you doing

some grocery shopping? Just grabbing

some snacks. Movie night tonight.

Sweet. I'm here to grab some milk.

Anything good lined up? Eh, probably

some cheesy romcom. Don't judge.

No judgment here. But hey, how's life

been? Oh, you know, good. Are you still

living in the neighborhood?

Yep. Still, I live just a couple blocks

over.

And you come all the way here for milk?

Seriously, I'm always walking over there

for milk. It's a never ending thing. I

hear you. They really do have the best

milk. Totally. Their almond milk is the

best. My coffee just isn't the same

without it.

Oh, do you use almond milk in your

coffee?

Yeah. Well, surprise. I'm a vegetarian

now.

Cool. What made you decide to go veggie?

Uh, it's kind of a long story. Maybe

I'll tell you sometime when we have more

time.

We should meet for coffee sometime.

For sure. I need someone to vent about

work, too. Ha, I'm your girl. Got plenty

of my own work drama. Okay, let's make

it happen. Are you free this weekend?

Does Saturday morning work for you? Like

around 10:00?

Perfect. I'll shoot you a text. Still

the same digits?

Yeah, still. Just uh maybe not at 6:00

in the morning this time.

Hey, don't leave yet.

>> We see you reaching for that skip

button.

>> Stay till the end. It's worth it.

>> Trust us, your English will thank you.

>> Please let me know when you arrive.

Babe, are you still picking me up from

the airport tomorrow? Of course, honey.

I wrote it down.4

to 7 in the evening. Right.

>> Close enough.4 to 7 in the morning.

>> Oh, okay. Got it. No worries.

>> I mean, I'm kind of worried though. Last

time you were like an hour late.

>> Not my fault you married a goldfish.

Just kidding. I swear this time I won't

forget. Seriously.

>> Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

Fingers crossed over here.

>> To be fair, traffic was insane last

time.

>> Yeah, well, maybe leaving earlier would

have helped. You know how bad it always

is.

>> I will this time. I promise.

>> All right, just don't flake on me again.

And please let me know when you arrive.

I don't want to stand around like a lost

kid again.

>> Got it. I'll text you when I pull in.

>> All call. It's better that way.

>> Got it. See you tomorrow.

>> Yeah. See you.

Could you please turn down the volume?

Dude, this song is fire. Listen to that

beat. I hear it. My walls hear it. My

cat hears it. Come on. It's Friday

night.

Yeah. And I still have to wake up at

6:00 a.m.

Why? It's the weekend. My mom's coming

over. Got to clean up the mess you made.

What mess? The pizza box mountain and

the socks on the TV.

All right. All right. I'll clean up

later. But seriously, could you please

turn down the volume? Fine, but just one

notch. More than one. My ears are

ringing.

Okay. Okay, I'll put on headphones.

Happy? Yes. Now I won't go deaf by 30.

You're just being dramatic.

Just keeping it real.

The restaurant just opened last month.

>> Hey, want to try a new spot for lunch

today?

>> Sure. I'm tired of the same old sandwich

place.

>> There's a new Korean spot near my gym.

Heard it's pretty good.

>> Oh, yeah. What's it called?

>> Kimchi Kingdom. Cute, right?

>> That sounds spicy.

>> You'll survive.

>> But does it have good reviews? I don't

want to blow my lunch on some crummy

spot.

>> I don't think there are any reviews yet.

The restaurant just opened last month.

So, we're the guinea pigs,

>> I guess.

>> Nah, I'm good. Let's just grab burgers

instead.

Ha. You've got no sense of adventure.

>> I'd rather save that for another day.

Better safe than sorry.

Remember to bring your umbrella

tomorrow.

Honey, did you check the weather for

tomorrow?

>> Nope. Why? Is it going to be hot again?

>> Nope. It's going to pour.

>> Great. I just washed my car.

That's why I never wash mine. Nature

does it for free.

>> Yeah, but nature also adds bird poop.

Fair point. Anyway, remember to bring

your umbrella tomorrow.

>> I don't even know where it is.

>> Probably hiding behind your winter coat,

like always.

>> I love how you always know exactly where

I leave my stuff.

>> I do, don't I? You definitely hit the

jackpot marrying me.

Thank you for your help with the

project.

>> Hey, did you finally turn in the

project?

>> Yep. Hit submit 5 minutes before the

deadline.

>> Cool. Cutting it close as always.

>> That's how I live dangerously and with

caffeine.

Well, honestly, it looked good in the

end.

>> Yeah, thank you for your help with the

project. I was about to send in that

messy draft.

>> Please don't remind me. I had to fix so

many typos.

>> I type fast. Okay. I don't stop to

proofread.

>> Well, you should. At least from now on.

I can't keep proofreading everything for

you.

>> Even if I'd buy you tacos and beer.

Even if you buy me tacos and beer.

>> All right, I'll be more careful next

time.
