And we are live. Welcome. Welcome you guys. Welcome. Welcome to Saturday. Happy Saturday.
Welcome to this regular Saturday event where I speak with you guys and you speak with me
in this live session in this one hour English lesson when we're here to learn a lot of
beautiful things. Welcome you guys. I'm so happy to see you all, even though I know I don't
actually see you, but it's like seeing you. For example, right now I'm seeing
Lolly because she broke down here in the chat box. So welcome Lolly. Welcome to this new Saturday
event. Welcome you guys and welcome whoever is right here watching this one. And I know that
you're here to learn English and I'm right here to help you. You're here to learn. I'm here to
help you. We meet together. Welcome and welcome. So how are you guys doing? Let me see. Let me see.
What are we doing today? Well, as usual guys, just like you see down here today, we're going
to continue our journey to discover how to be able to understand pronunciation that we find
in movies, sitcoms, and how we actually can improve our listening, listening skills.
So we're able to basically start listening and speaking a better English, right? So hello to
Irina and welcome. Happy Saturday to you too. And of course, hello to Irina and to Italy and hello
and hello to whoever else is about to join us. If you knew my name's Albert and I'm right here
every Saturday because I was you. I've been in your shoes. I know how it is. I know how it is to
learn English. My mother tongue is Italian and it took me quite some time to actually figure
how to crack this code. And this is why I'm right here telling you everything I can,
everything I can do to help you grow in your English. And hello to Adelaide. Hello,
girl. Hello, girl. And happy Saturday to you as well. Here we go. So what else do we do here?
In a little while, we're going to go over YouTube. We're going to begin with our sitcom
understanding. So we're going to take back friends, just like the past Saturday. We're
going to analyze a bunch of dialogues and we're going to find a lot of pronunciation techniques,
a lot of new vocabulary, a lot of new idioms, phrasal verbs, and whatever else we're going to
find. And it's going to be a very interesting journey. But also, this is a moment where I,
if somebody asks me a question, this is also the moment where I normally answer to those
questions. And by the way, if you want to ask me a question, you can just use the form down here
and you can ask me whatever question you want. And in the next live session, I'm going to answer.
And so for this reason, today, I want to begin with Abdullah's question. Hello, Abdullah. Hello,
my friend. You're asking something very interesting. And for this reason, I wanted to
bring your question here live, like you see it right here. And you're talking about a song from
the singer Eminem or the rapper, actually Eminem, right? The song, because we had a little chat,
so I know the context. And the song's name is When I'm Gone. And you're asking,
how could it be that the curtain is closing on me? Why did he use could instead of can?
All right. Now, this is a very specific question. And the reason why I brought it here with us
today is because it can be very, very interesting if we could actually just pop on YouTube and find
this song, find the lyrics we're talking about and trying to discover why trying to answer to
this question. Right. Hello to you, Mar. And it's a pleasure to see you, too, again. Absolutely.
Now, what we are doing here with this particular question is also an experiment,
OK? Because the reason why most of other channels don't treat songs, don't use songs in order to
help you guys is because of copyright restrictions. Copyright is basically a rule
that YouTube Mr. YouTube says. And that goes like you can say whatever you want,
but you cannot use music from other artists. And it's OK. But I want to challenge this today. So
we're going to have a little experiment and we're going to go over this particular song.
We're going to listen to the lyrics where it says, how could it be that the curtain is closing on me?
I'm going to take this phrase. I'm going to analyze it for you. I'm going to answer
Abdullah's question. And here we go. If if you are watching this as a recording and
you can't see this part, it's because YouTube took it down. But if you are here with me live,
for sure you can watch it. And if you are not live and you are able to watch it well,
this means we can definitely do some songs next time around. All right. So if you're with me,
we're going to begin this experiment together. This is like a real experiment, as in
we'll see the results. OK, we'll see the results right now. We are going on YouTube. Well,
you are already on YouTube. OK, but I am going on YouTube and I'm going over the song, which is
when I'm gone. I previously, of course, looked for it. OK, when I'm gone by Eminem. Do you guys
know this song? I believe it's a wonderful song and it's also worthy to analyze in its entirety.
All right. And this is part of the experiment. The moment we see that YouTube doesn't block us,
we're in business, my friends. And I'm going to be able to actually analyze this song with you.
Right. But now, anyway, because it's an experiment, let's get into it. Let's get into it.
And let's see which line our friend Abdullah was talking about. And of course, we got some
which we're going to smartly skip this way. I'm going to skip. OK, I'm going to go straight
into the part of the song we are we are analyzing.
But baby, wait, it's too late. You made your choice. Now go out there and show them that you
love them more than us. That's what they want. They want you more. So they keep screaming your
name. It's no wonder you can't go to sleep. Just take another pill. Yeah, I bet you you will.
You rap about it. Yeah. Keep it real. I hear applause all the time. I couldn't see.
How could it be that the curtain is closing on me?
And here we go. If we are able to actually show this part and this music. Wow. We did something
wonderful today. Right. So what are we talking about here? Well, this part of the song is about
a dream. All right. And and in this dream, Eminem is talking about an experience,
something he's experiencing in a dream. All right. And he says that he hears applause.
So he hears people clapping like this. This is an applause, an applause. All right.
All this time, I couldn't see all this time. All this time is when you you're talking about
the time that has passed and all this time I couldn't see. I couldn't see eyes closed. I
couldn't see. I couldn't see in the past. Right. We're talking about something that happened
in the past. OK, now the question is, how could it be that the curtain is closing on me?
And Abdullah, you asked why they use could instead of can. Right. Well, I'm going to
answer straight with this question. And the answer is because he is talking about a hypothetical,
hypothetical, hypothetical scenario because it's a dream. He's talking about a dream.
And for this particular reason, he used something that doesn't belong to the present moment,
like can. All right. But now let's analyze the phrase. OK, let's analyze the phrase because
there's a lot in this phrase, actually. And if we are able to analyze this song completely,
well, then we're going to discover so many interesting things. By the way, if this is
something that you would want me to do, just write it down. OK, support me in this in this experiment
because I'm doing it for you guys. Lolly says I'm completely lost. This level is too high for me.
Wow. OK, don't worry, Lolly, because I'm going to I'm going to take you to this level,
analyzing this song bit by bit. And don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. All right. But
now, what is it? First of all, we want to we want to understand the word curtain. OK, what's a
curtain? All right. What is it? So let's put it here over the images and you're going to find
straight away the object we're talking about. So what is the curtain? Can you see what the
curtain is? All right. Now, let's listen to the way Eminem actually pronounced this word curtain.
He didn't say curtain. All right. He just didn't use the T. Let's listen again.
He says curtain, curtain, curtain. And the reason why you guys really it's really hard
for you to understand these lines is because there's an extra sound. And this extra sound is
it's a guttural. It's it's it's called the glottal stop. And it's a sound you make from
your throat. And it goes like curtain, curtain. And it's pretty hard to make unless you are guided.
If you're guided, it's very easy. OK, but if you're not guided, it's pretty hard to make and
identify. And it's the reason why you couldn't understand this word at all, probably, because
he didn't say curtain. He said curtain, curtain. Let's listen again.
Curtain, curtain. Right. The curtain, the curtain, the curtain is closing on me.
All right. Now, if you try this, you'll see that the more you try the sound, the more
the more you can make it. English is all about practicing. All right. It's all about practice.
The more you practice, the better you get. So let's go back to the question. OK, because we're
asking a question here. We're asking about this curtain. OK. And now we understand what a curtain
is. Let's take one as an example, because let me give you some some more context. We're talking
about the curtain of a theater, right? The curtain of a theater. So because of this, we're talking
about these kinds of curtains. All right. So let's take this, for example. You see this curtain here.
This is a kind of curtain that closes when it goes down. Right. So the curtain is closing on me
because it's coming from up to down. So the curtain is closing on me. OK. Literally on my head. OK.
The curtain is closing on me. But I want to do something for you guys, something more, because
now we're just listening to the lyrics. But now we're also going to see the song in the video,
the video clip of the song. Are you guys ready for it? This is going to be very interesting.
You'll see. Let's go with When I'm Gone, but this time without lyrics. And and here we go.
And now we're going to put the song in the same place using the same lines.
Should be pretty much here.
That's what they want. They want you more. So they keep screaming your name. It's no wonder
you can't go to sleep. Just take another pill. Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it.
Yeah. Word can't keep it real. I hear applause all the time. I couldn't see. How could it be
that the curtain is closing on me? All right. Now you've just listened to the same lyrics.
The reason why I use this is because here they were written. But now here,
here now you're just listening. All right. And let's see if now I'm going to put it back a little.
All right. And now you want to just listen to the same words. OK, you're looking for
how could it be that the curtain is closing on me? OK, so let's do this together.
Have you been able to listen now? I'm positive. I'm positive you guys have been able to
listen to this particular line right now. Right. And this is how you actually practice when you
are listening to songs. This is how you do it. All right. You don't want to keep the lyrics
all the time on. Otherwise, you won't be able to listen to the sounds and also to enjoy the music.
But anyway, now you see the curtain. Where is the curtain here? Where is it? Well,
if we go a little back, me and mommy are going. But baby, wait, it's too late. You made your
choice. Now go out there and show them that you love them more than us. That's what they want.
They want you more so they keep screaming your name. It's no wonder you can't go to sleep.
And here are the curtains and the curtains are closing literally on him. Look at him.
I hope you could see. I hope you could see the moment. Let's see it again.
You can see the moment that the curtains are closing on him.
Can you see that the curtains are opening, but they're also how do you say like they're getting
inside them? OK, because they're closing on him. All right. So how could it be?
This particular phrase is also metaphorical. It's not exactly linear. Right. It's not
exactly what he's talking about. He's not talking about the actual curtains. He's talking about the
curtains of his life. But but this is as much as we can get right now out of this song, because this
was an experiment. OK, now this song is extremely interesting and it involves not only lots of
interesting vocabulary, useful expressions and phrasal verbs, but it's also a very
moving story. It's a story. It's a story of a person who is thinking of his life from another
point of view and is realizing that family comes first. And it's a it's a beautiful story. So
let me know down here if you're interested in understanding this song. OK, because if you tell
me that you're interested, well, and we're able to do it with the music, with the music. OK,
so if Allah, if YouTube allows us to do that, I'll be more than able and more than happy.
I'll be more than happy to help you doing the doing so. So with that said, let's go back on
YouTube because we got friends. OK, and don't worry, because the topic is the same. OK,
we are here to understand and to develop our listening skills in order to better understand
and speak this language. So the topic is the same. The topic is pronunciation,
listening skills and comprehension. All of these things at once. We just did it with songs and now
we're going to do it with friends. Oh, yes. So let's go back online, back on YouTube. But this
time we're going to go over friends just like that. Yep. Just like this. And we're going to
just take one random video clip and we're going to find a lot of interesting things inside.
For example, this is quite short right here. And it's great being sure because maybe we're
able to first see it all and then analyze it. Let's go. Of course, we hope we always
got the commercial verse. OK, it says video play soon. OK, so we just got to wait a little bit.
That's how it is. OK, here we go. So now we're going to listen to the full one minute,
twenty three seconds. OK, let me see what you wrote about yourself.
Dr. Paleontology, two kids. We're saying you split with Carol because you had different interests.
I think you split with Carol because you had one very similar interest.
You know, I'm going to finish this later. OK, let me just grab my coat.
Do it in the last two minutes. Maybe we finish this for him.
Also, I cloned a dinosaur in my lab. She is now my girlfriend.
I don't care what society says. It's the best sex I've ever had.
And send. No, no, you can't do that. All right, let's go. Dude,
I think you made it clear you can't be trusted with the ball inside the house.
And. OK, all right. So what happened here? So I want to please guys to write down here.
OK, from one to ten, how much you think you understood. OK, so from one to ten,
how much did you understand of these guys talking with each other? From one to ten,
how much you understood. OK, let me know. Let me know. And also let me know if you understood the
joke. Let me know if you understood the situation, what happened. OK, as you answer, as you answer,
we're going to take it back a little bit. And I want to first I want to first analyze a little
little phrase. I think it's right here. OK, let's go. And send. No, no, you can't do that.
OK, now my second question. And please do answer to my first question. So I am so I know
what's your current level. OK, I know how much you did understand. OK, so once again,
how much did you guys understand from one to ten? OK, now the second question is,
did you understand what this guy said? Did you understand what these guys say? All right. So
let me know down here. Yes, I understood. No, I didn't understand. OK, let me know. Meanwhile,
let's listen again for the second time. You say this time I only understood to that. That's OK.
That's OK. That's completely normal. That's completely normal because we want to you want
to be able to understand certain songs, which I'm right here just to help you understand.
Who else can you answer? You guys, how much did you guys understand from one to ten?
Meanwhile, let's listen again to let's listen to what this guy just said. You can't do that.
What did he say? What did he say? Let me know, guys. Nothing. No idea. All right. Let's let's
listen to it again. Can't do that. Let's let's listen again. You can't do that. All right. So
do you want me to tell you? OK, so he said you can't do that to him. But the reason why you
guys didn't understand is because the way you say that is very different. You don't say you can't
do that to him. And Lolly, you almost got that. That's good. But you say you can't do that to him.
You can't do that to him. This him gets eliminated because well, because of many reasons.
So let me show you. OK, let me show you these reasons. Back to pen and paper, right? Back to
him. And this is why, guys, I'm telling you that if you're learning English by written means,
basically by books, you're missing out on real English. And that's also the reason why you're
not able yet to understand real English. That's the reason. All right. So you want to listen to
that. You want to listen to real English. And and here is how to understand it. OK,
you want to understand that this word in particular misses the H and the Y and the I as well.
You don't you don't hear him. So you only listen to this as a sound. All right.
Now, this T2 disappears. We already mentioned this in a previous live. But let me let me help
you remember. How do you distinguish between can and can't in real English? OK, when I say real
English is the English that's spoken in native countries. OK, where where the English is their
native language. Well, in any part in this in this particular video, by the way, we're also
focusing on the we're also focusing on American English. I hear a bit of vehicle in this video.
I hear a bit of vehicle in this video. OK, why is that? Why is that? I don't know why is that?
I really have no idea. But let me double check. OK, so here we are. And let's have a little trial
today. It's a day of trials. OK, let's go. I think you made it clear you can't be trusted
with the ball inside the house. Can you guys listen to an echo? Let me know. OK, because,
of course, this is important. OK, if you see there's if you if you write down there's an echo,
I'm going to kind of find a way to eliminate that echo for the next time. All right. Anyway,
meanwhile, it says maybe it's France video before there was no echo in the song. OK. Oh,
well, that may be then. Yes. So how do you distinguish between these two words? Well,
when you listen to them, can a positive can doesn't use the A, right? So you won't listen
to an A sound. You will listen to a can, can, can. To the contrary, a negative,
a negative can't. You don't listen to the T, but you do listen to the A sound. And now this is why
he says you can't do that to him. You can't do that to him. You can't do that to him because
emphasizing on the sound, you understand this is a negative one. This is a negative can.
And now let's see this in practice. Let's go back over France and let's see this in practice.
OK, are you guys ready? No, no, you can't do that.
Have you been able to listen and understand right now? Let me know, guys. OK, don't stay
silent because I rely on you guys. I rely on you to make this happen. OK, so one more time.
You can't do that to him. You can't do that to him. All right. And this is how you understand
something. Like I told you before, or maybe, yeah, I told you many occasions, actually,
you want to use a pair of headphones whenever you're listening to something in English.
Take away the subtitles and take on a pair of headphones. All right. So get away with subtitles
and get on a nice pair of headphones that will help you catch the missing sounds, the missing
words, the missing whatever you're not able to understand yet. And those sounds, if you repeat
them, then they will become part of you. Yes, absolutely. That's how it works. Now, let's see.
So what's happening here? What's what's the situation? The situation is that he is writing
something like a curriculum, a resume, something over the computer. And he doesn't want to be
completely open about everything. So he wants to help him becoming open. You know, when you're
writing a resume, maybe you avoid writing certain things. OK, so that's a situation.
So he leaves the room and he starts writing. He starts writing random things that have nothing
to do with a resume. OK, they're not serious. At that point, at that point, he wants to do something.
So now let's try to understand what he wants to do.
What did he just say? What did he just say? What did this guy here with a very funny hat say?
Let's listen again. What did he say? And send, says Reno. That's right. Yes, he said send.
What send? Well, probably this is something you already know, because when you want to send
an email, there's always a nice, clear, big button with the word send on top of it. Right.
So that's send. The moment he said and send is because he's about to press send and basically
send this curriculum, this resume, probably by email. We don't know that. OK, so this is when
he says you can't do that. OK, so now let's listen again and let's listen to the rest of the dialogue.
No, no, you can't do that. All right, let's go. Dude.
What did just the guy in the background, the blurred guy right now, what did he just say?
What did he just say? Let's see if you can type your question or better your answer,
your answer down here. OK, what did he just say? Let's listen again. All right, let's go.
All right, let's go. That's what he said. That's right. Let's go. Yes. You just listen. Let's go.
Right. Because the first part of the word wasn't so important, just like we've learned in the
in the previous live session where we talked about emphasis. Right. When we talked about
word stressing and he stressed the parts of the phrase he needed. Let's go. Let's go.
Right. This is enough so that the person listening understands. Let's go. Just like you,
well done. And also Lolly, also Lolly. Yeah, I think also Lolly. No, no, I don't see this.
And then he said, all right. Well, let's see. Let's see if he said, all right.
Yes, he did. He said, all right, let's go. All right. Let's go. Right. All right. Which is the
I say the same thing as well. Right. Right. Right. Right. It's just a sound. It's just a
sound, guys. All right. All right. All right. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Right. You don't
say let's go now to money, too much emphasis to every word. English is a language that that's
built on emphasis. So if you put emphasis on every word, it's just too much. Let me
let me clarify this point. OK, we're talking about emphasis. OK, now, have you ever met
somebody who's hyper energetic, like he's always ready to party, rock and roll and
all the single time, like every time there's something going on, he's the first to participate
and he's always super excited. And there's a lot of energy in everything he says and does.
Right. That's a bit too much. Right. So that's that's what happens when you emphasize every
single word in English. I'm not talking about other languages. I'm not talking about Italian.
I'm not talking about French. I'm not talking about any other languages we're talking about.
And you guys speak OK. But when it comes to English, the moment you use the same,
the same emphasis for every word, it's too much. You're giving too much information.
So you want to give away only the words you need in order to communicate your message.
So for this reason, instead of saying every single word you are thinking, you contract,
you are, you were and every single word you're thinking only you only emphasize the words you
mean. So every single thinking, every single word you're thinking, this is more natural.
Every single word you're thinking and you're using this kind of emphasis to emphasize every
single and thinking. All right. You can also use the same thing to emphasize only the word
every single word you're thinking. OK, let's only emphasize word and thinking. So it becomes
every single word you're thinking, every single word you're thinking. And it's all up to you.
You decide, guys. You are the masters of your ship, of your English ship. So you guys decide
whether to emphasize every single word you are speaking and making a very long phrase or
emphasizing or stressing only the words you need to communicate. See, I didn't say to communicate.
I say to commute, to communicate, to communicate. All right. And this, guys, is a secret.
This, guys, is a secret. And if you understand it, if you apply this secret, if you catch it
when you're listening to something from native speakers, well, this is what you're going to
find out. And, guys, many of you ask me, how do I get from a B1 level to a B2 level? Here you go.
This is how you get from a B1 level to a B2 level. A whole completely different story.
I made a video about it where I explained that if you want to go from B1 to a B2 level,
well, you got to change the way you do things. All right. You have to let go of the grammar side.
Okay. Let go of all of the pre-written exercises. And you want to understand this language
as it is. As it is. Even when you probably heard some noise in the background. Anyway,
back to us. Back to us. And, actually, back to France. Okay. Because we can talk about it.
Now, hold on just a second. Because the error disappeared. I don't know why. Okay. So, let's...
Okay. So, for some reason, I don't have the controls anymore. Okay. This is a very,
very strange thing. Okay. So, because I don't... Okay. Anyway, sometimes using a computer is
confusing. Okay. So, let's do it again. But this time, we should be able to see...
Ah, okay. So, now I have the controls again. So, let's get back into France.
And let's get back into the scene. And this time, I'm gonna unmute it.
And this is when he actually said, dude, just like Lolly said. He said, dude. Dude. And you,
Lolly, got it perfectly right. Yeah. Dude. And dude is a way to call somebody you're friends
with. If you're a friend with a person, you can call that person dude. If you're a friend with
the dog, you're probably listening, you can call the dog, hey, dude. Shut up a little, please.
Thank you. Right? This is how it is. So, now, he called the guy. He said, hey, dude.
Let's go.
What did he just say? What did this guy here say? Let's listen again.
What did he just say again? Let's see. Let's see. Let's see if some of you can be
good enough to actually write down here. This was a longer sentence. Let's see if you guys can make
it inside the house. Okay. That's good. That's good. That's good. First of all, yes, Lolly.
That's right. He definitely said inside the house, right? And it's good you actually captured that
because this means you are becoming more familiar with the swing rhythm we talked about in the
previous live session, right? Instead of saying inside the house, he actually used the swing
rhythm, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, inside the house, inside the house. And let's see, she said,
I understood only the end of the phrase, the ball inside the house. Okay. So, we got one more word,
the ball inside the house. Let's see. Let's see if this is true. All right, let's go. Dude,
uh, I think you made it clear you can't be trusted with the ball inside the house.
Uh-huh. Definitely. With the ball inside the house. The reason why you guys understood this
part of the phrase is exactly because you understood the most stressed words he spoke.
And the reason why he stressed those words, it's because, well, they were the words he wanted to
make sure the other guy understood. So, this is why he stressed those words. And you guys are
totally right. Yes, the ball inside the house. But what else? What else? So, let's listen to it
one more time, and then I'm going to help you understand. There's also, I think, you say,
Lolly. Hmm, I think, Lolly, you're right. Let's listen to it. Dude, uh, I think you made it clear
you can't be trusted with the ball inside the house. I think. Okay. So, now we got, I think,
ball inside the house. Okay. This is because there are a few more sounds you guys want to
understand. And now I'm going to help you because this guy here, he said, I think you made it clear
you can't be trusted with the ball inside the house. Yes, that's right.
Oh, yeah. That's exactly what he said. So, we want to make sure of it. Let's do this. Let's
activate the subtitles. I think it's right before it. Okay. You made it clear you can't be trusted
with the ball inside the house. Let me see. Yeah. Very, very well, you guys. Okay. Okay. At this
point, let's understand it. Let's understand why and let's understand why you didn't understand
and how you can understand it. So, he said, I think you made it clear you can't be trusted
with the ball inside the, inside the what? Inside the house. Yeah.
House. Okay. So, we clearly, we clearly understood inside the house. Then we also
clearly understood the ball. All right. And I think and wow. Oh, wow. Would you believe that
these are exactly the words he wanted to stress? He wanted to stress that he thinks. Okay. And this
is what he thinks. But you made it clear. It's not what he thinks. It doesn't matter in the
communication of this phrase. Of course, you can't be trusted. It's part of what he wants to
communicate. He actually emphasized can't. He emphasized can't. Can't be trusted. Can't be
trust. This part. This part here. Because the word he wanted to emphasize was trust. What is it?
What's trust? Well, trust is when you believe somebody. For example, I tell you, my name's
Albert. You guys trust me. I'm not Robert, for example. Guys, trust me. So, you believe that my
name is Albert. My full name, my full name, my full Italian name is Alberto. All right. Now, you can
trust me even more. Right. Because you believe me even more. Why do I say Albert instead of Alberto?
It's just because of the sounds. Okay. They don't make it. They're not English sounds. And it's just
easier when you're speaking English to stick with English sounds. So. And now that I also gave you
this explanation, which wasn't required, you trust me even more. So, you believe me. Because
you believe me, you trust me. Okay. So, this is how to trust. Okay. Now, if somebody can't be
trusted, it's because like, for example, I told you my name is Albert and I am. I can be trusted.
Okay. I can be trusted. I can be trusted because that's my name. Okay. But if I told you my name's
I don't know. My name's Jose. My name's Jose. Okay. I can be trusted with my name. Okay. I can
be trusted with my name. Okay. Now, why wasn't he able to be trusted with the bowl inside the house?
Let's understand. Let's go back into the friend's video clip. I see why. Why he can't be trusted
with the bowl. What happened before? Two minutes? A little before than that. I'm going to finish
this later. Okay. Let me just grab my coat. Okay. Here you go. This is why this guy can't be trusted
with the bowl inside the house. And probably now you also understand, right? Now you probably now
understand exactly what happened. So let's get back here. Let's listen to it. Let's listen to
the beginning of the dialogue we are analyzing. You can't do that to him. All right, let's go.
Dude, I think you made it clear. You can't be trusted with the ball inside the house.
And now you guys tell me if you've been able to understand. He broke something. Oh yeah,
that's right. He did broke something. He did break something. Absolutely. We don't know what.
Okay. But definitely he broke something and this is why he can't be trusted with the bowl
inside the house. And now, because you understand the scene, because you understand the scene,
let's listen again, because now you can appreciate he's slowing down when he says
with the bowl inside the house. So let's listen again to this guy here. Let's go.
Dude, I think you made it clear. You can't be trusted with the ball inside the house.
You see, the moment he mentioned the bowl, he gestured the bowl and he slowed down a little.
He said with the bowl inside the house. The beginning of the phrase wasn't as important.
So for that reason, he said, I think you can be trusted with the bowl inside the house.
And let's listen for the last time. And we continue with the next step.
I think you made it clear. You can't be trusted with the ball inside the house.
And probably now you guys understand this scene, right? What just happened? Happened that he
didn't lie. Look at the expression. It's very clear. He didn't lie. He was speechless. He was
speechless because he said, you can't send that letter. You can't send that letter because you're
going to put our friend in trouble. But then because he received such a sharp comment,
sharp because it was very direct, a very direct comment about the bowl.
And anyway, this guy was right. Okay. But this is the scene. Okay.
Look at the scene again. Now you're going to understand it better.
Look at the face. And by the way, hello to Babu Saheb. Hello to Babu Saheb. Hello to
you and all our friends from India. Welcome with us. Can you see the expression,
this expression here? Think about it, he says. Do what you think is right.
This is what they're communicating. And it's beautiful that you don't need words
to understand. You just need to look at them and understand that by the way they look at each other.
Okay. All right. So I hope you guys appreciated what we just did. And I'm sorry, Babu Saheb,
because you just joined us as the very last moments, but you can always rewind it,
watch it back again, and you're going to find a lot of very interesting things.
We just took a piece out of Friends, the sitcom, and we analyzed it and we understood. We went
from basically understanding nothing zero all the way to understanding the scene completely.
So I had fun. You guys let me know if you had fun too. Okay. Write it down here in the comments.
And this is the way you want to learn. You can do this on your own. Okay. You can do this on
your own or with my help. If you want my help, you just join me next Saturday because we're going to
take another clip, another fun clip, and we're going to analyze it together. The experiment
about the song, and if you've been here from the beginning, you know what I'm talking about,
will reveal what's going to happen next Saturday. Okay. So if we are able to listen to the music
from the video clip, from the song in the beginning of this live streaming next Saturday,
we're going to use that song and we're going to analyze that song and we're going to have a lot
of fun. Otherwise, if you're not able to do that, I'm going to see you back and we're going to
continue with the sitcom. So it's been a pleasure being here with you guys. Say hi to everybody you
know from me and see you back next Saturday. Take care. Bye-bye.
