Hey, you want to speak English like a native English speaker, right?
You want to sound natural.
You really want to speak English fluently.
Well, in order to do that, you must use the words and expressions
that we actually use in real life.
And that's exactly what I created this series for.
Real life English.
Now I'm going to teach you words and expressions that we really use.
Are you ready?
Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani let's jump right in.
So we're going to look at our first situation, a group of young
ladies, and we're going to see how I, as a native English speaker,
what describe this situation?
Now, looking at this situation.
I first see these two young ladies in front and I would say, wow, dependable.
Now I want you to watch me really quickly after me dependable.
Excellent.
One more time.
Dependable.
Good job.
Now again, when I see these two young women, I think of dependable, but what
does the word dependable actually mean?
So dependable means trustworthy, reliable, and capable of
being trusted or depended on.
So when I look at those two young women, I see one is leaning on the other, I think.
She really trusts her.
She really can rely on her.
And maybe in your life, there is someone that you truly rely on someone
that's always there for you, or you, you can say my friend, my mother,
my father, my sister, my brother.
Wow.
They're really dependable.
Makes sense.
Right now let's look at an example sentence right here.
Repeat after me, her boss said that she was a very dependent.
Assistant your turn.
Excellent.
Now we're seeing in this sentence, how to use dependable to describe someone.
Now I do want to remind you really quickly that this word can be used all the time.
Not just in a business environment, you can also use it when speaking to
your friends and in other environments.
So one more time after me dependent.
Excellent.
All right, now let's go to our next word.
Looking at this picture.
I would next notice this young lady right here.
Beautiful smile.
And I would say exuberant exuberant.
Now after me, this one's a little tricky after me exuberant.
Good.
Last time after that.
Exuberant.
Good job.
Now, what does the word exuberant mean?
This is a word again, that popped in my head.
When I first saw the situation.
Exuberant means joyously, unrestrained and enthusiastic many
people tell me a lot, teacher.
Tiffani you're so enthusiastic.
Well, now you can say teacher, you are such an exuberant individual
who makes sense right now, think about someone around you, someone
who is enthusiastic, always full of joy, someone that makes you.
That person is an exuberant individual.
Now let me show you an example.
Sentence, how to actually use this word in real life.
Here we go.
After me.
He has such an exuberant personality.
Good job.
You can use it like this and exuberant personality.
Now keep paying attention because we do have a quiz coming up soon.
All right.
So again, we learned the first one, dependable, the second one,
exuberant looking at this picture.
Now, then my eyes naturally would go to the top, the top left and I
see this young lady and she looked.
Reserved one more time after me reserved.
Maybe you're thinking, wow, teacher, what does that word mean?
Why did that word pop up in your head teacher?
Tiffani?
Well, after one more time, re Zurvita.
Excellent.
Very good.
Now again, if you need practice and help with your pronunciation, you can always
download my app English with Tiffani.
The link is right in the description.
There's a pronunciation course and a conversation course within the app.
So you can download it and get help with your pronunciation right now.
But again, this word reserved is very important.
Reserved means.
Restrained in words and actions.
Now I am not a reserved person.
I'm very outgoing.
I like talking to people, but a reserved person kind of holds back a little bit.
They don't talk as much to other people.
They just kind of are a little quieter around bigger groups of people.
Just like in the picture, you can tell that the woman seems a little.
Shy a little bit reserved.
Maybe someone, you know, is reserved.
One of my closest friends, she is very reserved.
When we get in big groups, she kind of gets quiet and just
kind of sits in the background.
She is reserved.
So how would you use this in a sentence?
Here we go.
You can use it like this.
And repeat after me, my friend is more reserved than I.
But she loves being around people makes sense.
All right.
Repeat after me again, my friend is more reserved than I am, but
she loves being around people.
Your turn.
Good job.
Excellent job.
All right, so now you understand what the word reserved means.
Now I do want to give you this tip really quickly.
This word can be used for people.
And for animals, maybe you have a pet, maybe you have a dog or a
cat and your dog or cat loves you.
But when other people come around, the dog kind of goes in the background, very shy.
Doesn't like talking to other people.
Doesn't like playing with other people.
You can say.
My dog is a little bit reserved.
Makes sense.
Right.
Okay, good.
So now we have three words.
We had dependable exuberant and reserved.
Now, when I go back and look at this image, the next thing I notice are these
other, these other two women right here.
I noticed these women and I say, you know, Ride or die ride or die.
Why would you say that teacher?
Don't you worry?
I'm going to explain now this is actually a slang term.
So after me ride or die, good job now, ride or die.
This actually is something that you should know.
It means.
To be extreme, uh, extremely loyal.
So it refers to extreme loyalty to someone or something.
When you are willing to do anything for someone you love or someone you really
appreciate in your life, you can say.
That's my ride or die.
You see how I kind of changed even the way I said it it's slang, right?
So we say my ride or die.
This person is so loyal to me.
They'll do anything for me.
We say ride or die in English.
Now let me show you an example sentence that will help you
use this word in real life.
Here we go.
My best friend will always be my ride or die.
Good job.
Now, maybe you have the same thing.
You have a best friend that really is your ride or die.
My best friend is my ride or die.
Make sense?
All right, good job.
Now, when I go back and I look at the image, I see something else.
I go back and I look at these ladies and I noticed within the first two ladies, the
other lady on the right, something about her expression, she looks self assured.
Again, after me self assured.
Good.
Last time after me self assured.
Great job.
Now self assured.
This is when someone is super confident.
So this is an expression.
This combination of two words, it means confident in one's
own abilities or character.
And when I looked at that picture and I saw that woman, she just.
Confident.
She looked like she could conquer the world.
So the first thing that popped in my head literally was self assured.
So again, now, you know the word or the expression you can use in this situation,
but let's check an example sentence.
