As in the language nerd here, I hope you are doing very, very well.

Welcome to another episode of Easy English.

Now, I am excited about today's video because I think a lot of you watching it.

A lot of the English learners watching this here.

Ah, whole bunch of new vocabulary you just didn't know before watching this video, and you're going to get an excellent opportunity to do some listening practice.

Uh, so in the video, I'm going to show you a conversation, a two minute conversation between myself and somebody that I know named Kyle on his podcast, which is called the Creative Block.

And in this conversation, we're discussing why my name is as Rin the language nerd.

I actually said, Jeff, stop with the new vocabulary and freezes and things that you learn in this video.

I highly recommend you go in the comments and first of all asked me any questions that you have, and second of all right, some practice sentences with the words and expressions we learn, and I will correct them for you.

And I think that I think that you should do that as you're watching this video and as you're learning some new things.

So first of all, let's listen to this two minute conversation and then I will explain a lot of the things that we were discussing and a lot of the new words that that we discussed that you probably don't know.

Yes, which may seem someone derogatory if it was taken out of context.

Maybe, Maybe, maybe, maybe there it is not, as you know, of Aqaba as it was when I was a teenager, when I was a pretty big slur to throw it.

Some think it's still a CZ, depending on the person.

I won't start in a little bit of a different spot than what we normally do in this podcast and really delve into that persona, I guess, for lack of a better word.

When did you realize that languages was something that you wanted to pursue?

Um, probably initially when I was 15 and then Maur Seriously, I would say it got more and more serious this time on on.

Well, because the initial reasoning, it's a weird one.

So I wanted to something that was around language learning that brands as Aaron and languages together.

I didn't want it like a company name or something.

Because then if I ever change my mind on not one few languages, my name is still there.

Can I be a genius if I'm like my twenties?

And on top of that, I remember thinking like when I was a reply to a YouTube comment or someone sees me apply to something or sees me, I want them.

I want them to immediately see by the by name that, Oh, what does he do and click it?

And I thought the language has been the language Nerd would allow people to do that.

Yeah, it's enough to draw the man to see or want to know more information, I suppose.

Yeah, now that you have listened to the conversation, let's start discussing some of the vocabulary points Now.

The first word that I want to discuss here is the word derogatory.

The exact sentence that made my friend said that Kyle said The interviewer, he said, was as word I know you as as Rin, the language nerd, which may seem somewhat derogatory, So derogatory is basically when you have an attitude where you made a comment about someone that is very disrespectful and mean.

For example, I say something like, Oh, you know, Jack, Jack is such an idiot.

Other derogatory comments sometimes can be racist comments.

So I say something about someone was a different skin color, maybe white skin or browns Canadia from China.

If I make a mean observation or a a disrespectful comment about someone with a specific skin color or specific nationality.

Azr in your name is as Rin the language nerd, but we're nerd.

That's a word that we used to insult them.

You're such a nerd and some people feel that it has a negative.

A negative connotation were negative feeling around it.

And so that's why he was asking about this word, my name as with the language nerd and why I'm using the word nerd in my name.

Another word that came up in this conversation was the word evocative.

Now evocative is anything that brings a very, very powerful or a strong emotion or any feeling, or maybe a memory into your mind.

So, for example, if I if I hear a song a love song and it's a really good love song, that love song can be very evocative.

It could be extremely evocative because it makes me feel the love.

I really can feel the love from that song, which is why it's evocative.

Or, for example, some of you might have seen the video that I made on this channel.

I was visiting a village in France where I actually lived for about I spent four months in that village approximately yes, four months.

And that village, the trees in the house.

And that smell for me is very evocative, because when I smell it, I immediately remember when I used to live there.

I have so many memories with that smell, I think Oh, yeah, I remember when I built the treehouse in this forest.

Oh, yeah, that smell makes me think of when I would walk every day on this bridge to go to school.

The smell is very evocative because it makes me feel it brings us very strong emotion and these very strong memories to my mind.

So, Kyle, he specifically said, Maybe the word nerd isn't as evocative as it was when I was a teenager.

So when pile was a teenager, his experience with the word nerd is that a broad, very powerful emotions in this case, negative emotions.

When you call someone a nerd, it was very insulting.

Not if you called somebody a nerd, they would say, Whoa, a nerd.
