The powerful editor in chief of Runway magazine.

But the dream quickly becomes a nightmare.

As Andy struggles to meet Miranda's impossible demands.

While feeling completely out of place in the high fashion world.

In today's lesson, we'll watch the scene where Randy turns to Nigel, the magazine's art director, for support.

She just wants someone to give her credit for how hard she's working.

Nigel tells her that Miranda isn't picking on her.

It's a harsh wake up call that forces Andy to confront the reality of her situation.

These expressions and the other ones you learned today.

Are included in the deck of flashcards that we created for this lesson when you watch it on the RealLife app.

But now this is how the lesson will work.

First, we will watch the clip with the subtitles.

Then you'll learn the key vocabulary and pronunciation.

And finally, at the end, you'll test your comprehension by by watching the entire scene one last time.

And I'll ask you some quiz questions to see how well you've understood everything.

I don't know what else I can do, because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

But if I do something wrong, she is vicious.

I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes.

You know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

And every word she uses perfectly captures that feeling of being trapped in a toxic work situation.

Let's break down these expressions that native speakers reach for when they're at their breaking point.

Because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

When something goes unacknowledged, it's like it never happened.

Nobody says good job or gives you credit.

It's the opposite of being acknowledged or appreciated.

Check out this example of someone getting their hard work acknowledged.

It's nice for my mother when I mention in the papers.

Many learners mistakenly pronounce the C here as an S sound.

Make sure you say vicious with a clear sh sound.

Vicious means extremely cruel or aggressive.

A vicious person doesn't just criticize, they attack you personally.

So when Andy says Miranda is vicious, she's saying Miranda insults her.

I think the politically correct term is ocularly impaired.

Now let's practice some connected speech.

This is how natives cut, rejuice and morph words together when they speak.

Learning it helps you sound more natural.

And it makes it much easier to understand Fast speaking natives.

The words doesn't and even link together while the T sound gets dropped.
