Vanessa: Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

Present continuous

Vanessa: My husband, who is also going to be giving another perspective in today's conversation.

Today we're bringing you an amazing, long, English conversation, so prepare your ears,

We're going to be talking about 12 different topics, and hopefully providing some new expressions

I don't know about that, but at least some English help for you.

Dan: Yeah, it's going to get personal today, so get ready.

Our first topic is family, and my question is, who do you think that you're the most

Dan: Who am I the most like, in appearance?

Dan: Okay, so appearance I look mostly like my mom, I think.

Dan: I have more of her skin tone, I have her eyes.

Dan: And on her side of the family, most of the people are pretty skinny, and I'm a rather

My dad's side is German, and they tend to be a little bit bigger.

But character wise, I think I'm a little more like my dad.

Vanessa: Yeah, I'd say you have shades of your dad.

Dan: You know me so well, so you can answer this, too.

Yeah, I think you have shades of your dad.

I think I'm more silly than my dad, that's not very hard because my dad is pretty serious.

Vanessa: Ah, he's got a silly side though.

But for the most part, I think I'm more like my dad because he has a very calm demeanor,

he's very patient, and he doesn't get stressed about anything.

And actually, my dad gets so unstressed about everything, I can't even understand it.

I'm like, "How are you so calm right now?"

And everybody I know thinks that I'm the most stress free person they know.

Vanessa: But your dad is even more stress free.

Dan: Yeah, but we're similar, like growing up when my parents would be going somewhere,

and needing to get out of the house, me and my dad would be the last one out of the house

Vanessa: And your mom, and brother, and sister were saying, "Come on, hurry."

My mom is much more high stress, anxious kind of personality.

Vanessa: That's kind of a typical family situation, I think.

Vanessa: I think I have both my parents in me as well.

Dan: Yeah, she looks exactly like her mom, though, like to a T.

Vanessa: Sometimes when I see pictures of myself, and then I look at a picture of her

And she looks a lot like her mom, so I can kind of imagine what I'll look like when I'm

I mean, you have darker hair, and darker features.

But I think a lot of my features are similar to my mom.

But I think I also got my facial expressions from my mom.

Vanessa: A lot of comment that, "Wow, Vanessa, you have a lot of expressions."

Dan: Your mom is very expressive, just like you.

Vanessa: And I think it's true that I use a lot of expressions, but it's just natural

I do this in daily life as I'm talking about things.

And I think that I get that from my mom, sometimes I see some of her expressions and I realize,

Dan: Yeah, I remember when we lived in South Korea, every single Korean person was commenting

They're like, "Your face, it's so exciting.

Dan: I guess in Korea they don't make as many faces.

Vanessa: I don't know, maybe it's just not.

I'm grateful for that, especially as a teacher, I can hopefully help to explain some different

But I feel like I also have parts of my dad.

Vanessa: Yeah, but I think I also have his sense of humor, sometimes a little strange

sense of humor, but we laugh at the same things, we enjoy playing games, and being competitive,

so I think that that side of me, maybe some of the character side of me, is similar to

But I feel like I also have parts of my grandma.
