If you like... don't forget so subscribe... So you don't miss any new expression to learn....Full transcript:You've been drinking. I have indeed!Do you have ice? No., How many years has it been? What? eh. Five years. 0:19So this is an excerpt from this series called "the Fall", which is available on Netflix and Stella asks, have you been drinking? And then the man answers I have indeed. You've been drinking. I have indeed.0:44Does listening to the vocab man. help you to become a better English speaker. Indeed. It does help. But of course you need to put some effort in it. So my advice to you would be, so the next time you come across the expression "indeed", remember this episode. The thing is actually, well, at least in my case, when I am learning some new expressions, oftentimes all of a sudden I come across this expression again and again.1:25 So as I said, the next time you come across the word, indeed, be more mindful. And by doing so this will enable you to remember the expression even better. I promise. 1:42That's lebowsky on the left there? Indeed. That is Mr. Lebowsky with the first lady. What indeed could one do!So I want to give you three different meanings of indeed.1:56 The different meanings of "indeed"Number one, indeed is used to emphasize a statement or response confirming something already suggested an example would be, it will not expect it to last long, and indeed it took less than three weeks. Number two used to introduce a further and stronger or more surprising point as in the idea is attractive to many men and indeed to many women.And the third meaning is used in a response to express interest sort of price or contempt. And here comes the example sentence, a ghost. Indeed. I've never heard anything so silly. 2:54 3th clipUh, and on the question that you asked about Hinkley point, um, I will be doing exactly, as you said indeed, in your question, Jason, which is, as you know, I've been looking at all the evidence around the, this issue.3:05 SynonymsSo let's have a look at the synonyms of indeed, but please be aware that indeed comes with different meanings depending on the situation. So here are some examples instead of using the word, indeed, you might just say actually, in fact, really, as a matter of fact, And that's actually it for today, guys.3:39 OutroThanks for tuning in. I hope you could learn something. And of course this episode comes with a transcript, which you are going to find in the show notes. Bye. Oh, and before you go, I just want to show you an excerpt of Luke's English podcast, in which he promotes my other show called my fluent podcast. So if you really like to listen to Interviews, my other show might be something for you.4:12 Luke from Luke's English podcasts promotes My Fluent PodcastIf you want to am more than just the handful of people I'm talking to, uh, over the next few months on this podcast, then why not listen to Daniel Goodson, his podcast, which is called my fluent podcast. Daniel is an English learner from Switzerland, and he's also a podcaster documenting his journey with English and also interviewing various interesting people.You have a lot to say on the subject, including various members of what we are calling the BRAVE 85, uh, those LEPsters who didn't make it into the final 16 of the competition, Daniel has been speaking to some of them and the interviews are really great. You really should listen to them. Tons of advice, insights, and motivation for your learning of English and just some really great people to listen to.4:58 Who has Daniel spoken to?Who is he spoken to? Which lips does, has he spoken to, and let me just check. I think the first one that Daniel spoke to was Hamad from Pakistan. Who's got some really cool things to say. You got to check out handmade. He's brilliant. Also listen to episode 84 of my fluent podcasts, or should I call, should I call it Daniel's fluent podcasts, um, which was with Alvara hu from Spain, from Madrid.5:25 Alvaro overcame his stutteringWho was a fascinating person to listen to all about how he overcame his stuttering. Stuttering is a kind of a, how do I describe it? It's a, it's something that affects the way you speak and it can cause people to sort of, sort of repeat certain syllables and causes them problems in getting the words out, um, a stutter.So Alvara. Has a stutter, but he overcame it and also has learned English to a good degree and lived in, in, I think in Scotland or Ireland. 5:56 The Ricky Sendy ShowUh, but anyway, very interesting conversation also, you must listen to episode 86, which is the Ricky Sandy show. And that's Ricardo from Spain. Do you remember the funny recording that Ricardo sent to me on that point, actually listeners, another thing I must say, Ricardo recorded a full length Ricky Sandy show.And it's it's up on YouTube.

So as you know, you got half your DNA from your mom and half from your dad, right? So 50 50. And then you've got about 25% of your DNA from each of your grandparents and then different amounts from other ancestors.And when we look at people today, we find we have chunks of DNA that are from a Neandertal ancestor.0:46I've got a bit in my DNA, Yeah me too.

And, there were, there were really some doubts.1:52 Is shenanigans a bad word. What do you think guys? Well, though many might think of shenanigans as harmless pranks or behavior, most dictionary definitions, give them a slightly evil cast.And what about shenanigans used as an interjection? Well shenanigans denotes a person or event suspect of unscrupulous or dishonest conduct? If one believes they bear witness to such an occurrence, they should immediately call shenanigans to draw attention to it. 2:27 clip 3In the film, he toyed with the defense department and eventually scared the pants offeveryone making it seem like a Russian nuclear launch was imminent.

Here's the teaser. And bye. You know what I tell my students, I tell them that the child has no ego issues. We have ego issues, but I have some motion for that. So what I do. I write the word ego on the board. E G O and I convert the letter O into G. So the ego becomes egg. Then I tell them convert this ego into an egg and break it. In a learning situation. Forget about your ego. We're all language learners. There is no good or bad learner. We're all learners. We are all the same. We all make mistakes. Leave your ego outside your class and enjoy it. And some learners do that. They managed to break or convert ego into an egg and break it !The way you did!Here ist he link to the episode:https://myfluentpodcast.libsyn.com/episode-83www.myfluentpodcast.commyfluentpodcast@gmail.comWhat expressions do you want us to cover?

This is my third time in Providence and somehow the first time I've actually gotten to Brown's campus.So in this case, the third time is the charm and a I am very eager to having to...1:10"the third time is a charm" is an idiom, which means on your third try, you're likely to succeed after failing two times.1:20It is often used as a phrase to encourage someone to try for the third time, even after that person has failed at that thing two times earlier, Making him realize.
