[English]

English speaking course.

Let's be honest, English is hard.

Grammar, sounds, phrasal verbs, total

chaos.

>> But here's the good news. You don't need

a textbook. You need a screen to enjoy

our everyday conversation.

>> That's how you learn sentence

structures, useful words, and how real

people respond day by day.

So stop overthinking, start watching.

>> One click, real progress

and let's start with us.

[Music]

>> Order class. Today we have a new

exchange student. Come introduce

yourself.

>> Hello everyone. My my name is Matthew

Diaz. Nice to meet you.

Oh, he's so cute.

Yeah, look at those eyes.

You can sit over there.

Hi, Matthew. I'm Cindy. And I'm Eve.

>> Nice to meet you, Cindy and Eve.

>> So, where are you from?

>> I'm from pain. Did you hear it, guys? He

said he's from pain.

>> Stop it, Todd. Don't be so mean,

Matthew. I think you meant Spain.

>> Oh, yes, Spain.

>> I love Spain. What a beautiful country.

Why did you come to the US?

>> Be because I want learn univer

city.

>> University? You want to go to university

here? Dude, maybe you should learn

English before thinking of university.

>> Forget him, Matthew. Yeah, he's just

being annoying.

>> Cindy, can you read the next part out

loud?

>> Sure. Sue stopped Harry at the door and

said, "It's raining cats and dogs.

You shouldn't go out now."

>> Okay. Thank you, Cindy. Please stop

there, Matthew.

Yes. Could you please explain what it's

raining cats and dogs means? Um, animals

falling from the sky.

Oh man, Matthew, you are the one falling

from the sky.

That's a great guess, Matthew. It

actually means that it's raining very

heavily.

Oh, I sorry. No need to be sorry. You're

here to learn. Thank you, teacher.

So, it's raining cats and dogs is an

idiom.

What? What an idiom?

Good question, Matthew. An idiom is a

group of words with a different meaning.

Oh, okay.

See, you're learning very well.

[Music]

Daniel.

Yes. What's up, Matthew?

What's wrong?

Wrong? I mean, you're looking at me. Do

you need anything? No, I not need. But

what are you doing? I'm doing my

homework.

Oh, homework.

I have homework, too. Cool. Is school

good? Good. But I not understand. I not

speak to friend class.

Oh, yeah. I not understand friend class.

Same man. I don't understand my

classmates as well. They're weird.

Weird.

Right.

Listen, why don't you go to bed now?

It's late.

Yeah. You have work tomorrow, right?

Your part-time job?

Yes, I have part-time job in the

morning.

You I'll go to bed after I finish my

homework.

Oh, okay. I sleep. You do homework? Yep.

Have a good night. Good night.

>> Excuse me. Yes.

I'd like to order. Order? Oh, okay. Can

I have a beef steak rare, please? Yes.

Yes. Steak. Okay.

>> I'd like one mac and cheese.

>> Okay. One mac and cheese.

Thank you.

>> Here your food.

>> Thanks.

>> Excuse me. This is well done. Thank you.

Thank you so much. No, that's not what I

meant. I wanted a rare steak, but this

is well done.

Yes,

>> babe. I don't think he understands you.

Boy, I want to speak to your manager.

Manager?

Yes. Manager? Boss? Your boss.

Oh, okay. Boss, please. Wait.

I'm sorry, Matthew. I have to let you

go. Let go where? I mean, you're fired.

Fire where?

Oh man, Matthew,

you leave. No job. Goodbye. Do not come

back. But But why?

Your English is just not good enough.

It's hard to serve customers if you

don't even understand them.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

Hi, Matthew. You finished work early?

No, I not come back.

What? Why?

Boss, fire me. Let me go

on the first day. But why? What did you

do? I do wrong order. Customer wants

steak. Rare. I bring steak. Well done.

They can't fire you just for one

mistake.

No, because my English not good.

I know not much words. I speak bad.

I'm tired.

I see. See, you see what I mean? I

understand.

Oh, yeah.

So, that's why you don't talk to me

much. I talk to you. You not talk to me?

Yeah, right. I'm sorry. I was busy with

homework.

I'm free now. I can help you. Help me.

Yes. My English was bad before, but now

it's better. How you make English good?

Well, for school, I asked my teachers if

I could record my lessons.

Then I'll listen to them again after

class.

Oh, okay. Record lessons.

I also prepared.

I read books and learned new words

before class.

That's smart.

If I didn't understand anything, I asked

teachers or friends to explain.

Teacher Neil explained good. Good. I

also watched videos to learn new words

and slangs.

Slangs. Slangs

are words with a different meaning,

like idioms.

Well, yeah, something like that.

Okay,

you should try these tips. You'll get

better soon.

I I will. Thank you.

Hi, Matthew. How's it going? Great. I am

I watching this video to learn new

words.

>> Oh, cool. Did you learn anything

interesting?

Many I learn tea. It is a drink. But it

is a secret, too. Like what's the tea

between them? That's a good one. But I

speak not good.

I not I cannot find a job because I

speak bad.

Hey, that's okay. You know what can

help? Shadowing.

Shadowing.

Yeah. It's when you listen to someone

talk and then you repeat exactly what

they say. Oh, okay.

And role playing is also good. Playing

what? I play games.

Nah, not games.

It's like you act and talk like a

different person. Maybe a customer.

I

ah I see.

Yeah, man. And when you don't know a

word, just use words you do know. For

example, what's this?

I do not remember cal something.

Say it with words you know. a machine to

do math.

Yes, good job.

But I want speak with a person.

You can use an AI like chat GPT.

It's a really good way to practice

speaking.

Great. Thank you very much.

>> No problem.

This is butter and

red food. I eat bread with red food.

That's jam, Matthew.

All right. Thanks, Daniel. Red food is

jam.

So, who can read the next part? Matthew,

can you? Uh-oh. I don't think he can

teach her.

>> He didn't know why she could make a lot

of friends. The secret was simple. She

never judged a book by its cover. He for

Please stop there. Thank you, Matthew.

So, who can tell me what never judge a

book by its cover means?

Matthew, please. It means don't give an

opinion when you see only the outside.

Good job. Now, Todd, please write that

down. You'll need to remember it.

[Music]

So, are you ready to order?

>> Sure. I'd like a steak.

>> Rare or Well done, Mom.

>> H not too rare, but not too well done.

>> I think a medium steak would be perfect

for you.

Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.

what? This place is expensive. You sure

you want to treat me to dinner here?

Yes, I got paid this morning. I want to

thank you. You helped me improve my

English. I just wanted to help you.

I know. I want you to help me with one

more thing, too.

What's that? I won't do your homework.

That would be great. But no.

So, what's that?

I want to create a club for people who

can understand English, but can't speak

it.

>> So, like me and you before.

Yes, speaking with AI is good, but it

will be better to have some real people

to practice with. That's an awesome

idea, man. So, where should we start?

Well, I think

[Music]

good morning class. Uh, today we will

welcome a new member. Her family has

just moved in here. She's new to the

English language and still learning it.

So, let's support her as much as you

can. Okay. Yes, teacher.

Now, could you tell the class a bit

about yourself? Yes, Miss Parker. Uh, my

my name is Millie. I'm from Thailand.

Nice to meet you.

>> Oh, come on. It's just a few simple

phrases.

This is so funny. I'm trying my best not

to laugh.

Silence, class. Don't worry. You will

get used to being here. Thank you, Mrs.

Parker.

[Music]

Okay, class. Today, we're going to talk

about places in the city. Can anyone

guess what's in this picture? Yes,

Sarah. Uh, it's a market. Mrs. Parker,

great job. What kinds of things can we

buy at a market?

We can buy food and clothes.

That's right, Mike. Good answer.

What do people usually do at a market?

Millie, can you try to answer this?

Um,

I'm not sure. Come on, it's okay. Give

it a try. Just say it in English

already.

It's okay, Millie. Take your time. Don't

worry, it's fine if you don't know yet.

Can someone give Millie a hand? Fanny,

what do you think? A market is a place

where people buy and sell things. Very

good, Fanny. Nice work.

Hi there. Uh, is a seat taken? No, not

at all. You can sit here. Uh, are you

also from Yes, I'm from Miss Parker's

class. You must be Millie, right? Yes,

I'm I'm Millie. I'm Fanny. Nice to meet

you. Uh, you looked a little sad in

class. Is everything okay?

Uh, English is hard. Everyone laughs at

me. Oh, don't worry about them. Learning

a new language is tough.

I want to learn, but I still can't learn

it. Well, it's all right. I understand.

Uh, maybe I can help you with it.

>> Really? You would do that for me? Yeah.

We could meet after school at the

library or somewhere else to practice

English. What do you think? That sounds

great. Thank you, Fanny. You're welcome.

[Music]

What do you call this, Fenny? It's

called cereal.

Ah, I got it. Cereal.

Perfect. You got it right. Which kind do

you like? H. Uh, Fruity Loops.

Sounds good. Can you read the red

letters on this medicine box?

Uh, it says keep out of reach of

children.

Yeah, that means we shouldn't give this

box to kids because it's dangerous.

Oh. Oh, I forgot the baking supplies.

Where are they in this supermarket?

Uh, you can try asking the clerk for

help. Okay, I got this.

Um, excuse me. Yes. Could you show us

the way to the um baking supplies?

>> Sure. Go straight and then turn left.

You'll see them there. Thank you. High

five.

[Music]

This part is so funny. What do you think

he's saying? Did he say something like

tripped?

Great job. Tripped means you lose your

balance and stumble because something is

in your way. Now, let's rewind a bit.

Does he say anything else after he

mentions he tripped? H I think he says

something about spilling his coffee.

That's correct. I think I'm feeling more

comfortable with English.

Watching movies is such a fun way to

learn. Plus, you're learning quickly.

Yeah, because it's more fun than

studying from a textbook. Yeah. The more

you watch, the more natural it'll feel

to understand English.

[Music]

There are so many new words in this

book. Don't give up. Let's try this

together. Pick a sentence and see if you

can understand it. Uh, maybe this one.

The fearless young explorer went into

the unknown jungle.

What does fearless mean? Fearless means

not afraid of anything.

And an explorer is

someone who travels to find new places.

Unknown means something no one knows

about yet. Ah, I see. So, put it all

together. What do you think this whole

sentence means?

Uh, the sentence means the brave young

explorer dared to go into a jungle that

no one knew about. Oh, that's a

fantastic answer, Millie.

Thanks a lot, teacher.

Fanny, I can't thank you enough for your

help. Don't mention it, Millie. I'm

happy to see you improving every day.

You're You're like a big sister to me.

You guide me through everything.

And you're a wonderful student, Millie.

You try so hard and you never give up.

It's all thanks to you, Fanny. With your

help, I feel more confident speaking

English now. Remember everyone, practice

makes perfect.

Don't forget to practice your English

every day to improve your English level.

time.
