Now, I was at this play that I've loved so much.

And Juliet is a play where what if Juliet didn't die with Romeo?

And a lot of it is influenced by Shakespeare's wife and her name is Anne Hathaway.

And I feel like I actually just need to bring up the picture that he might be William Shakespeare reincarnated.

Well, because, look, it's kind of nuts, right?

It took seeing the photo for me to go, oh, I should take this seriously.

Today we're learning English with one of my favorite actresses, Anne Hathaway.

We just heard that there is a conspiracy theory about Anne Hathaway's husband.

A conspiracy theory is the belief that something secret or unusual is going on behind the scenes, but

without real proof, like the conspiracy theory that the American government is hiding evidence that aliens exist.

So expressions like conspiracy theory, do some digging, be nuts, or hangry are included in a deck of flashcards that we created for this lesson on the RealLife English app.

It's the best way for you to never forget the new words you learn.

I'll tell you more about that in a little bit.

And Juliet is a play where what if Juliet didn't die with Romeo, and

a lot of it is influenced by Shakespeare's wife and her name is Anne Hathaway.

All right, so let's get a little context.

First, Drew Barrymore became obsessed with this play Aunt Juliet, which is a reimagining of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

And she did a little digging into Shakespeare himself.

So what do you think Drew did when she did some digging?

So, being familiar with the fact that William Shakespeare's wife had the same name as the actress Anne Hathaway, Drew decided to do a little digging and learn more about this coincidence.

So do some digging is a super common casual phrase that means to look for information, usually by searching carefully or conducting an investigation.

I did some digging, and they are two years behind on production.

They need our manufacturing, and frankly, we need their technology.

Now, let's Take a look at Ann and Drew's fast native speech.

This is how natives cut, reduce, and link words together when they speak.

So Ann uses a contraction of the question, what did you learn?

Then when the D sound and Y sound are next to each other, they often blend into a J sound, like in jam or jungle.

Now listen again and repeat after what you learn.

We already learned what a conspiracy theory is.

In this case, the conspiracy theory is that the actress Anne Hathaway's husband might actually be Shakespeare reincarnated.

He might be William Shakespeare reincarnated.

Well, because look, it's kind of nuts, right?

In many religions and spiritual beliefs, reincarnation is the idea that after someone dies, their soul comes back to life in a new body.

So if Anne's husband, Adam Shulman, is Shakespeare reincarnated, it means that Shakespeare was born again as Adam.

Then Anne looks at the photo and says, it's kind of nuts right here.

And since we're talking about slang like nuts, here's the thing.

These are real, everyday expressions that you'll actually hear native speakers use, not the formal phrases from textbooks.

And we're here to help you sound more natural and fluent when speaking English.

That's exactly why we created the RealLife app to get the best experience with this video with Anne Hathaway.

Let me tell you why you'll learn more inside the app with every lesson you get an interactive transcript.

A deck of flashcards with all the expressions we're learning today.

And the most magical part built in, spaced repetition.

That means the app will remind you of the words you're about to forget right before you forget them, which ensures expressions make it into your long term memory.

This means that next time you have a conversation in English, you'll remember to use them naturally.

Just ten minutes a day will make a huge difference.

Now let's check out another fun slang that you can study on the app.

It took seeing the photo for me to go, oh, I should Take this seriously.

Hot is another slang word people often use to describe someone they find sexy or good looking.

So when Drew says it after seeing the photo of Ants Hathaway's husband, who looks a lot like young Shakespeare, she's basically saying that he's sexy.

Now let's learn with another hilarious interview where Anne talks about how she gets herself in trouble when she doesn't eat enough.

And I know, Ann, you're obviously happily married.

Like, how petty do arguments get in your house?
