Alan, this species of veriformin's been extinct since the Cretaceous period.

Ali Sattler, two paleontologists who study dinosaurs, are invited to a mysterious island to give their expert opinion on on a new theme park.

It's a place where scientists have brought dinosaurs back to life.

So when they arrive, they see their first dinosaur towering over the trees and they're completely awestruck.

Alright, so towering, awestruck, extinct.

All these expressions and the many other ones you learned today are all included in a deck of flashcards that we created for this lesson.

All you need to do to get these is click the link below using your phone, which will take you directly to this very lesson with Jurassic park on our app.

If your goal is to speak English like this, without translating your head and forgetting words, then our flashcards are made for you.

So go and check out this lesson on our app right now.

Okay, so begin our adventure today by watching and learning with the first scene.

Then after that, still in this lesson, we're going to watch and learn with a second scene, another really good one from Jurassic Park.

And then at the end we're gonna have the best part.

We're gonna test your comprehension by watching everything again, this time without any subtitles.

And I'm sure you'll be able to understand 100% of the clips you'll see.

Finally, we give this tear up the rulebook of cold bloodedness that does not tie the tongue.

This thing's got what, a 25, 27 foot neck?

Well, we clocked the t. Rex to 32 miles an hour.

Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sattler, welcome to Jurassic Park.

Alright, now let's analyze all the advanced expressions we just saw.

Son of a bitch is a very common expression in American English and it's important to understand how it was used here.

While it can be offensive when used to insult someone, and

in this context it's actually expressing admiration and disbelief.

So Malcolm is saying Hamut is crazy in a good way for achieving something so incredible.

Grant so shockingly excited to see dinosaurs for the first time that he actually struggles to speak.

And he's basically saying that everything they thought they knew about dinosaurs is wrong.

When you tear up something, you literally rip it into pieces like this.

He means they can throw away all the old scientific theories because they've been proven wrong.

Tear, like a teardrop refers to the liquid that comes out of your eyes when you cry.

The two words share the same spelling though.

So Alan is saying that science believes dinosaurs are cold blooded animals like lizards and snakes, which can't regulate their own body temperature.

But here he realizes these dinosaurs are warm blooded creatures like mammals and birds, meaning they can control their own body temperature internally.

Here's something interesting about measurements.

In the US they use feet and inches, while most of the world uses meters and centimeters.

One important detail about the language here is that you should say the measurement in a singular form, like 20 foot when using it as an adjective, but

When you clock something, you measure its speed.

It comes from the idea of timing with a clock.

So, for example, police officers clock speed in cars, and coaches clock runners on the track.

Well, we clocked the t. Rex at 32 miles an hour.

You might have noticed that this movie is full of scientific terms like Brachiosaurus, T.

Rex, Cretaceous Period, Jurassic, and many others.

Now, you don't need to stress about understanding every single one of these words as they're a bit more technical.

But just so you know, the Jurassic and Cretaceous are geological time periods from millions of years ago when dinosaurs lived.

And T. Rex, which is short for Tyrannosaurus rex and Brachiosaurus, are specific dinosaur species.

Again, these are highly specialized terms and many native English speakers wouldn't fully understand them without studying paleontology.

A herd is a group of animals that stay together, usually Plant eating animals like cows, sheep, or in this case, dinosaurs.

We also say a flock of birds, a pack of wolves, or a school of fish.

Grant is amazed because this proves dinosaurs had social behavior.

They lived in groups, just like many animals today.

Hey, by the way, I was telling you about this before, but

did you know you can practice all these words you're learning on your own app?

If you want to internalize these expressions so they're there for you, the moment you need to use them in a real conversation, then reviewing and practicing them is absolutely necessary.

Ethan, Xenia and I were language coaches and we have over 35 years of combined experience teaching English.
