You want to improve your English, but you're just lying there doing nothing. No more excuses. No more maybe tomorrow. It's today. It's now. Come with us. Make English dance in your head. Where words stick in your mind with better pronunciation. And English becomes simpler than ever. Hit play, speak out loud, and let's start. Hey Joe, why the long face? It's just morning. Morning Tom. I had to cover five math classes for Mark today. He's sick today, so I was stuck teaching all day. I'll be so tired. Poor you. Don't worry. I grabbed you some coffee. Here. You're a lifesaver. Thanks a lot. By the way, did you notice the students seem way more excited than usual? Oh, you don't know? Mr. Kellis popped the question. You know what that means. Popped the question? What, like, gave the students a super hard math problem? No, silly. Popped the question means he proposed. He got engaged. Wait, seriously? To who? Miss Taylor Swinton, the English teacher. What? Miss Swinton? Since when? Just last week. It was so romantic. They even posted about it on Instagram. Can you imagine that? Five years of dating. And now they're finally engaged. Sweet, right? Sweet, yeah. I guess it's nice for them. If she wasn't my crush. Huh? What did you just say? Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. Me too. I love iced coffee in the morning. Me too. Totally. I usually go for a walk right after. Me too. Then I water my plants and talk to them. Yeah, me too. You don't even have plants. Okay, but I talk to air sometimes. That counts, right? Not really. Me too. Bella, how many me too's have you used today? Me too. Wait, I don't know what to say other than me too. Okay, then let's try something new. Instead of me too, say so am I, likewise, or ditto. Okay, I got it. All right, let's try again. I'm tired of repeating myself. So am I. Wait, that was smooth. I love rainy days when I can just read. Ditto. I sound cool now. I'm trying to eat healthier. Likewise, I had a salad last month. That's not how likewise works. Oh, you caught me. I just wanted to sound more mature for once. At least you're not stuck on one phrase. Me too. I mean, uh, oh no. It's a reflex now. Don't worry. Language growth is messy. Thanks. Those phrases you showed me are super helpful. Natural. Lily, what on earth are you doing in the garden? I'm poking the bees with this stick, mom. What? They were flying too close to me. I had to defend my space. Sweetheart, this isn't a lightsaber battle. Put the stick down. But they keep buzzing like they own the place. Technically, they kind of do. But they help the flowers grow, spread pollen, make honey. They're like tiny flying farmers. These tiny farmers that might stab me with their butts. Only if you attack first. Bees don't want drama. They just want peace and petals. So if I ignore them... They'll ignore you. Rule of nature. Respect it and it'll respect you back. Okay, mom. No more poking. Good girl. No more garden duels. Can I feed them a cookie though? Lily, they're bees, not toddlers. Fair. The bee makes honey, helps the flower. And you, have you helped your homework bloom yet? Um, I was about to. The bee works hard all day without power. You, young lady, must finish homework this hour. Hey, don't leave yet. We see you reaching for that skip button. Stay till the end. It's worth it. Trust us. Your English will thank you. What a lovely pet. Wow, is that a rabbit? Yep, meet Mochi, the queen of my house. She's adorable. So fluffy. What kind is she? She's a Holland Lop. Tiny ears, big attitude. I didn't know people actually kept rabbits inside the house. They're great indoor pets if you know what you're doing. What do you need to take care of one? Hay, lots of hay. Also, zero loud noises. They stress out super easily. Sounds a bit like me on Mondays. Same energy. Is it expensive to raise one? The rabbit wasn't too pricey, but the setup adds up. Cage, food, toys, vet bills. And they chew everything. Wires, shoes, books, even my tax documents. That's wild. Oh, I have a pet turtle. Slow and chill, huh? Very. He's the calmest roommate I've ever had. Maybe we should race them someday. Turtle versus rabbit. Just like the old fable. But I have to warn you, Mochi naps like it's her full-time job. Perfect, my turtle naps while moving. ASAP. All right, team, quick check-in. Alex, is your part of the project ready? Uh, almost. Like, 60% ready? You had the whole weekend. Did you read my email yesterday? Yes, miss. I skimmed it. Skimmed? You saw the word ASAP in bold, right? Yeah, I did. That's why I took my time. What? I mean, ASAP means as slow as possible, doesn't it? Wait, did he just say... Oh my god, someone help me, I can't breathe. Alex, ASAP means as soon as possible. Oh, that makes more sense. I always thought it just meant, like, take your time, but pretend to care. No, it means do it quickly, really quickly. Got it, miss. I'll finish it today. Please, before lunch, if possible. Okay, no more confusion. New rule for me, full words only. Father's Day. Are you doing anything for Father's Day this weekend? Yeah, I'm taking my dad out for lunch. Nice, do you guys go out often? Not really, we don't talk that much, to be honest. But I know he likes steak, and this place has his favorite. That's a good move. I'm still not sure what to do with my dad. He says he doesn't want anything, but if he was wrong to do nothing... My dad says the same every year. But when I show up with something simple like coffee or a card, he lights up. Yeah, dads are funny like that. They act tough, but deep down they care more than they show. Exactly. I think I'll go visit him this weekend. Just spend time, and I'll give him a new watch. That's probably the best gift. Wisdom teeth. Mom, what if I cancel the date? Why? You've been talking about this guy for two weeks. I know, but my wisdom tooth is killing me. It hurts when I chew, when I talk, even when I breathe too hard. Oh, sweetie, that's got to be tough. The dentist says I should take it out this Friday. The date is Saturday. So I'll either cancel or show up with a swollen face eating soup and whispering. Or you could reschedule the date. But I really wanted to eat pasta with him. Then go on the date next week when you can enjoy every bite. You're right. No one wants a date with mashed potatoes and painkillers. Trust me, sweetheart. If he likes you, he'll wait. And if he doesn't, then you just dodged a bigger pain than your tooth. It's really good. This ice cream is really good. Wait, why are you screaming? What? I said this ice cream is really good. Oh, I thought you said I scream it's really good. Why would I randomly scream at dessert? I don't know. Maybe you're emotionally attached to sugar. Honestly, I am. So what flavor is it? Double chocolate caramel. Caramel? For a second, I thought you said camel. Imagine a camel flavored cone. I think I need to get my ears checked. I'm really bad at hearing things right. That's OK. Those words do sound similar when you say them fast anyway. Morning coffee. Oh, this smells amazing. Nothing beats the first cup of coffee in the morning. I totally agree. Smells great. Are you using the new coffee beans? Yes, I am. They're from that new local coffee shop downtown. Want to try some? Definitely. I need something strong to kickstart my day. Here you go. I hope it's as good as it smells. Oh, wow. This is pretty good. It's got a nice rich flavor. I'm glad you like it. I think this will be my new go-to for morning coffee. You know, we should visit that coffee shop sometime. Maybe this weekend. That sounds like a great idea. A perfect way to relax and enjoy the weekend. Agreed. Thanks for the coffee, Alex. It's the little things like this that make mornings so much better. Absolutely. A good start to a good day. Lunch break with colleagues. So, what did everyone bring for lunch today? I made a chicken salad. I grabbed a sandwich from the deli downstairs. How's the salad, Alex? It's pretty good. I'm trying to eat healthier these days. That sounds like a good idea. I just have some leftover pasta from last night. Hey, did anyone catch the game last night? I missed it. Was working late on the Henderson Project. Who won? I watched it. It was a close match, but the Wildcats won in the end. No way. I was rooting for the Eagles. Sounds like a good game. I'll have to catch the highlights. Definitely worth watching. By the way, how's the Henderson Project going, Alex? It's coming along. We're making good progress. Glad to hear it's going well. We should all go out for drinks after the project wraps up. I'm in. It'll be nice to celebrate all the hard work. Count me in, too. It's been a while since we all hung out outside of work. Great. Let's make it a date. For now, let's enjoy our lunch break. Evening walk in the park. This park is so peaceful in the evening. I love these quiet walks after work. It really is nice. It's like a little escape from the city's hustle. Definitely. How was your day, David? Pretty good. Busy as usual. But I always look forward to these walks. They help me relax. I feel the same. It's the best way to clear your head. Absolutely. Oh, look at those ducks by the pond. They're adorable. Nature really has a way of making things better. That's true. Do you ever bring a book to read here? Sometimes. Reading in the park is so relaxing. Do you? I do. Maybe next time we can have a reading session here. That sounds like a great idea. A little book club in the park. Yeah, why not? It could be our little tradition. I'm in. It's nice to share these moments with a friend. Cooking dinner. I'm trying a new recipe tonight. It's a stir-fry with lots of veggies. Sounds healthy and delicious. Need any help with chopping? That would be great. Thanks. Can you start with the peppers? Sure thing. How did you come across this recipe? Found it online. It's supposed to be quick and easy. Perfect for a weeknight. Nice. Cooking together makes dinner even better. Agreed. It's more fun than cooking alone. What's in the stir-fry besides peppers? We've got carrots, onions, broccoli, and some tofu for protein. Yum. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. It should be ready in about 20 minutes. Can you set the table? Of course. Do you want to use the fancy plates? Why not? Let's make dinner special tonight. I like your thinking. Special dinner on a regular day. Reading before bed. Just a few more pages before I sleep. This book is getting really interesting. What are you reading? It must be good if it's keeping you up. It's a mystery novel. So many twists. I can't put it down. I love a good mystery. What's it about? It's about a detective solving an old case that everyone else thinks is closed. Sounds intriguing. I might have to borrow it when you're done. Definitely. I think you'll like it. It's my way of winding down. Helps me relax. I should try that. Usually I just scroll through my phone. Reading's a nice change. It's better for your sleep than a screen. Good point. I'll pick up a book tonight. Any recommendations? What do you like? Fiction? Non-fiction? Something light and fun, I guess. I have a few in mind. I'll grab them for you. Wait a minute. Thanks, Alex. Looking forward to it. Weekend gardening. These flowers are going to look great in the garden. Can't wait to see them bloom. I agree. Gardening on the weekend is so relaxing. What are you planting today? Some tulips and daisies. How about you? I'm working on the vegetable patch. Planting some tomatoes and peppers. Sounds like we'll have a colorful garden and fresh veggies soon. Yes, it's very rewarding. There's nothing like homegrown food. Definitely. Hey, could you pass me the small shovel? Here you go. Do you garden often? I try to. It's a nice way to spend time outdoors. It's peaceful. I find it therapeutic, too. It's a great break from the usual weekend routine. Absolutely. And it's satisfying to see the results of your work. True. I love seeing the garden come to life. It's a little oasis. It is. And it's a great workout, too. Who needs a gym? Right. Gardening is definitely a full-body exercise. After we finish, let's have some iced tea on the patio. That sounds perfect. Family movie night. What movie should we watch tonight for our family movie night? How about a comedy? Something Latin fun for all of us. Can we watch that new animated movie? The one with the talking animals? Oh, Zootopia. That sounds like a good choice. What do you think, Jamie? Sounds perfect. I've heard it's really funny. I love animal movies. And can we make popcorn? Of course, Max. A movie night isn't complete without popcorn. I'll get the popcorn started. Alex, can you set up the movie? Can we make a fort to watch the movie in? It'll be like our own cinema. That's an awesome idea, Emma. Can we please? A movie fort. That does sound fun. Let's do it. All right, team fort building it is. Let's grab some blankets and cushions. I'll get the blankets from my room. And I'll get the cushions from the living room. Agreed. Family movie nights are the best. Let's make it cozy and fun. All right, let's get to work. Movie night, here we come. Writing in a journal. I've been keeping a journal lately. It's been really helpful for organizing my thoughts. That's a great idea. What kind of things do you write about? Mostly daily reflections, goals, and sometimes just random ideas that come to my mind. Sounds like a good way to process your day. Do you find it relaxing? Very much so. It's like a form of meditation for me. Helps me unwind before bed. I've thought about starting a journal. I just don't know if I'd be consistent with it. It doesn't have to be daily. Even a few times a week can be beneficial. That's true. Maybe I'll give it a try. What kind of journal do you use? Just a simple notebook. Nothing fancy. The act of writing is what matters. I like that approach. And do you keep it private or share your entries with anyone? It's just for me. It's a space where I can be completely honest and open. That makes sense. A personal space for personal thoughts. Exactly. It's been a great tool for self-discovery and growth. Rainy day reading. There's something about reading on a rainy day that's so peaceful. I completely agree. It's like the world slows down. You can just get lost in a book. Exactly. What are you reading right now? I'm into this adventure novel. Fascinating stuff. And you? I'm reading a science fiction novel. It's about parallel universes. Quite mind-bending. Sounds intriguing. Science fiction has a way of expanding your imagination. It really does. Do you prefer reading physical books or using an e-reader? I like the feel of physical books. There's something about turning the pages that's satisfying. I get that. I use an e-reader for convenience. But I miss the feel of real books sometimes. Well then, enjoy. Rainy days are perfect for a cozy reading nook, a cup of tea, and a good book. Absolutely. Add a soft blanket to that and that's my ideal way to spend the day. Do you have any book recommendations for a day like this? If you're into mysteries, I just finished a great one. I can lend it to you. That would be awesome. Thanks, Alex. Watching the sunset. This bike ride has been amazing. The countryside is so beautiful, especially with the sunset. It really is. Watching the sunset while cycling is such a peaceful experience. The colors in the sky are incredible. I love how they change as the sun goes down. It's like a painting that's constantly evolving. Nature's artwork. Let's enjoy the view for a moment. We have a perfect spot. Great idea. It's moments like these that make me appreciate the simple things in life. Same here. It's a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Absolutely. Life can get so busy, it's important to take time for moments like this. Definitely. I feel like these rides help me reset and recharge. Me too. It's therapeutic in a way. Plus, we get some good exercise. That's a bonus for sure. I always sleep so well after an evening ride like this. Let's make this a regular thing. A weekly ride to watch the sunset, perhaps? I'm all for that. It's a plan. Trying a new recipe. I'm excited to try this new recipe. It's supposed to be a delicious Thai curry. That sounds amazing. Have you made Thai food before? No. This is my first time. I hope it turns out well. I'm sure it will. Do you need any help with the preparation? Could you chop the vegetables? That would be a big help. Absolutely. I'll get started on that. What vegetables are we using? Some bell peppers, onions, and carrots. They're all in the fridge. Got it. The recipe seems pretty detailed. That should make things easier. It is. There are a lot of spices involved, but I think that's what makes it special. I love dishes with a lot of spices. They add so much flavor. Definitely. I'm also trying to make the curry paste from scratch. That's impressive. Homemade curry paste must taste amazing. I hope so. It's all about experimenting and having fun in the kitchen. Exactly. Cooking is an adventure. I can't wait to taste the final result. Feeding the birds. I love coming to the park to feed the birds. It's so calming to watch them. It really is. What type of birds do we usually see here? Mostly sparrows and pigeons, but sometimes we get a few robins. Look at that little sparrow over there. It seems so eager for some seeds. They're not shy at all. Here, let's sprinkle some seeds on the ground. They come so close. Do you think they recognize us since we come here often? Maybe. Birds are smarter than we give them credit for. That's true. Feeding them is such a simple joy. Absolutely. It's nice to connect with nature, even in small ways. Do you ever bring different types of bird food? Sometimes. I read that different seeds attract different birds. That's interesting. Maybe next time we can try a new mix and see who shows up. That's a great idea. Bird watching can be our new hobby. Taking a nap. I think I might take a quick nap. I've been feeling a bit tired this morning. That sounds like a good idea. A short nap can really boost your energy. Exactly. I read somewhere that even a 20-minute nap can make a big difference. It's true. Do you usually nap during the day? Not often. But sometimes it's necessary, especially on busy days. I understand. Do you have a special technique for a good nap? Not really. Just a quiet room and a comfortable chair or sofa. What about you? I like to set a gentle alarm so I don't oversleep. Helps me wake up gradually. That's a good tip. Waking up abruptly from a nap can be jarring. Yeah. And a cozy blanket always makes it better, even for a short nap. Agreed. I think I'll grab one and find a quiet spot for a bit. Enjoy your nap. You'll feel refreshed afterward. I'm sure it'll help me power through the rest of the day. Drinking hot chocolate on a cold day. There's nothing better than hot chocolate on a cold day like this. I couldn't agree more. It's the perfect way to warm up. Do you like marshmallows in yours? Absolutely. Marshmallows make it extra special. And a sprinkle of cinnamon. Cinnamon sounds like a great addition. I usually go for whipped cream on top. Whipped cream is delicious, too. Watching the snow fall while sipping hot chocolate is so relaxing. It really is. It's one of those simple pleasures of winter. Do you have a favorite type of hot chocolate? I love the classic kind. But sometimes I try flavored ones like mint or hazelnut. Mint hot chocolate is amazing. It's like a liquid candy cane. True. There's something comforting about holding a warm mug on a cold day. Definitely. It's like a warm hug in a mug. Don't forget to practice your English every day to improve your English level.
