Present continuous

I'm trying to find a way that would be
easier to have difficult conversations.

It's a dream, but it's a dream I'm
going to help you turn into a reality.

Today what we're going to look at is nine words...
ten words to give you to use in conversations

that you might find difficult in English
that no one else has given you.

I will give you some situations that you could
use these words in, and then we're going to

It's something you can do by yourself, you
can do it with a friend, or a group, and it

will help you become more creative and a lot
better with English, more like a native speaker

because you'll understand what these words
are and how to use them appropriately.

As E says, these are
difficult conversations.

There are many different types, from relationship
and work, so we're going to have a bit of fun.

When you confess something it means you must give
the truth or tell the truth about something,

something that someone hasn't
known, you will have to tell them.

I have to confess that I like yellow
and I'm wearing yellow underwear.

You didn't know, it's
hidden, but now you know.

If you resolve to do something, you want to
resolve, you have decided to do something

A resolve to lose 15 pounds means I've made a
promise to myself to work towards that to do that.

Regret, you say you're sorry, and
it means I feel bad about it.

When you regret you
wish you didn't do it.

I regret breaking off with a girlfriend five
years ago because she would have made the

"Condolences", use this one what we call
sparingly, which means don't use it a lot.

Or the word "condolence" is
usually reserved for death.

So, when you say "condolence", if you say:
"I give my condolences", you wouldn't say

But if you hear someone is really sick, they
have cancer, serious cancer or their parent

or someone that they know has died, then
you would say: "I offer my condolences."

You can even use it for a pet, if their dog that
they've had for ten years has died, offer condolences.

It means I'm extremely, extremely
sorry that this has happened to you.

And I say, I see a poor person on the street,
and someone says: "Look, they're lazy."

If you're fighting: We need
to mend this relationship.

If you break your arm and it's fixed, the
arm is mended, you go your arm will mend;

"An illusion" is something you
think is true, but it's not.

Whenever I go like this, there's the illusion
that I've been standing here waiting for you

To be disillusioned is to believe something was
true and you find out it's not true anymore.

You think your mother or father is the greatest
person on the planet, and then you find out,

just like you, they have flaws or
weaknesses, and they make mistakes.

And you're like: "But I
thought you were perfect."

They weren't perfect or
they are not perfect.

And if you know the song I
was trying to sing, REM.

"I need you to consider",
to think about.

How something affects something
else when it hits it.

Bullets have an
impact-boof-they hit you.
