Erica how are you Erica Marco I'm doing
really well today you're excited uhhuh
we've got a great lesson for everyone
yes we have a really common situation
where we're going to use real English
right yep everyday English English that
people really use and that's what we
want you to learn what are we talking
about today specifically today we have a
really common situation that is a little
bit embarrassing
all right an embarrassing situation so
let's listen to the dialogue for the
first time and it's going to be kind of
fast yeah but don't worry if you don't
understand everything because after 10
minutes you'll understand everything
Perfect all right let's [Music]
listen Nick how's it going oh hey what
are you doing in this neighborhood do
you live around here actually my office
is right around the corner it was great
to meet you last week at the conference
I really enjoyed our conversation about
foreign investment yeah yeah it was
really interesting you know I'm in a bit
of a hurry but here's my card we should
definitely meet up again and continue
our discussion sure you still have my
contact details right you know what this
is really embarrassing but your name has
just slipped my mind can you remind me
sure sure my name is Anna Ferris don't
worry about it it happens to me all the
too wow Nick forgot her name yeah that's
happened to me a couple of times and I'm
going to tell you about it a little bit
later okay all right well let's start
with our three language
takeaways language
takeaway so our first word on our
language takeaway is in a bit of a hurry
in a bit of a hurry in a bit of a hurry
in a bit of a hurry so Nick was in a
hurry yeah that's right this is a great
phrase so let's listen to three examples
one can you drive faster I'm in a bit of a
three I'm in a bit of a hurry so I'll
later okay so it's clear now basically
it means that you don't have time you're
moving really quickly okay perfect now
let's look at our second language
takeaway word and it's it's contact
details contact details contact details
contact details so what are your contact
details basically this is the
information you can find on your
business card all right so we have like
our name our telephone number your email
address perhaps your mobile phone number
so all the useful information so people
can get in touch with you yep so people
can phone you or email you okay so
contact details great okay so our third
third word is slipped my mind slipped my
mind slipped my mind slipped my mind so
this is a funny phrase it's kind of
strange right yeah slipped my mind it
sounds very weird exactly okay so now
we're going to listen to two examples of
this phrase try and see if you can
figure out what it means example
one I'm sorry I forgot to respond to
two don't you know what day it is today
oh it's your birthday it completely
mind ah so slipped my mind is like I
forgot you forgot something uhhuh so
accidentally right okay great now it's
time for putting it
together putting it together
all right Erica why don't you tell our
listeners what putting it together is
well putting it together helps you put
language together it helps you be more
fluent by knowing how words fit together
great so let's look at our first phrase
today and it's around here around here
around here around here so this is like
close by close by right I can say for
example is there a bank around here yeah
yeah um so that's is there a bank close
to here exactly now this phrase around
here we can change it a little bit and
it means something a little bit
different right I could say Marco
there's a great restaurant right around
the corner right and that would mean
there is a great restaurant on the other
Street yep around the corner yep great
or we have another example we can say
around there around there right so for
example I can say uh Los Angeles is a
great City I used to live around there
so you used to live near Los Angeles
exactly all right it's a really good
phrase and it's really common yeah now
our next phrase in putting it together
is terrible with terrible with terrible
with terrible with so we have a couple
of examples that will show you how this phrase
phrase
you're terrible with numbers you can't
two I'm terrible with directions I'm
lost example
three I'm terrible with faces I can
like wow I understand that I'm also
terrible with numbers I can barely add 2+
2+
two well yeah I guess uh not everyone is
a numbers person I'm terrible with uh
faces I sometimes forget what people
look like really yeah uhoh so I think
it's time now for us to listen to our
dialogue a second time okay this time
the dialogue will be a little bit slower
right so try and listen for some of the
Nick how's it going oh hey what are you
doing in this neighborhood do you live
around here actually my office is right
around the corner it was great to meet
you last week at the conference I really
enjoyed our conversation about foreign
investment yeah yeah it was really
interesting you know I'm in a bit of a
hurry but here here's my card we should
definitely meet up again and continue our
our
discussion sure you still have my
contact details right you know what this
is really embarrassing but your name has
just slipped my mind can you remind me
sure my name is Anna Ferris don't worry
about it it happens to me all the time
too so it's more clear now you can
understand a lot better right yeah
that's true great so now it's time for
us to take a look at fluency
Builder fluency Builder so with fluency
Builder we take some very simple phrases
and show you how you can be more fluent
or how you can sound more native yeah
great in the beginning of the dialogue
Anna said Nick how's it going yeah this
is a great phrase it sounds really
really natural you know sometimes I hear
students say how are you or how are you
doing those are two great phrases but
this one sounds really really natural it
just sounds more casual yeah let's
listen again to that phrase from the
dialogue how's it
going how's it
going great so next time that you find a
friend on the street you can just say
hey how's it going yeah so Marco have
you ever forgotten someone's name yeah
it's happened to me a couple of times
and actually the most embarrassing
situation was that I forgot a family
memb no a family member's name we had
like a family reunion and there were a
lot of aunts and uncles and cousins that
I hadn't seen in a while and I just
forgot one of my uncle's names and I was
uhoh that's pretty embarrassing so what
did you do well I had to ask one of my
uh other cousins I'm like hey who is
that guy he's like oh that's Uncle John
I'm like oh man I totally forgot yeah so
it was really embarrassing because I
didn't know what to call him so I just
called him Uncle cuz I didn't know his
name hi Uncle yeah oh yeah so when that
happens to me when I'm in a business
setting sometimes what I do is I ask for
someone's card ah yeah that's the good
technique yeah or sometimes I might ask
them to write down their email cuz
usually their full name is spelled out
in their email address so that's my
trick when I forgotten someone's name
that's a good trick and I guess a lot of
our listeners can take your advice on
that okay so I think it's time for us to
listen to our dialogue one more time
speed Nick how's it going oh hey
what are you doing in this neighborhood
do you live around here actually my
office is right around the corner it was
great to meet you last week at the
conference I really enjoyed our
conversation about foreign investment
yeah yeah it was really interesting you
know I'm in a bit of a hurry but here's
my card we should definitely meet up
again and continue our discussion sure
you still have my contact details right
you know what this is really
embarrassing but your name has just
slipped my mind can you remind me
sure my name is Anna Ferris don't worry
about it it happens to me all the time
