💰 SPEAK ENGLISH AT AN AMERICAN GARAGE SALE
The goal of today's English lesson is to help you feel more comfortable when you're speaking English. To help you do that, we are going to visit an American garage sale.
🟨 To become a member and get special videos, join the Discord server, and special member chats, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join
The first thing we should talk about is what is a garage sale? You might also hear rummage sale, lawn sale, yard sale, garage sale. We have a bunch of names for it. But basically what that means is somebody has a lot of stuff they want to get rid of, so they put it outside of their house, they advertise it maybe in a newspaper, and other people come to buy the stuff that these people don't want. We'll talk to the homeowner, Christy, in just a little bit. But let's take a look at some of the items you could buy at a garage sale. Let's talk about the verb rummage. A lot of Americans have something called a junk drawer. That's just probably a place in the kitchen, a drawer, where they put a bunch of stuff, odds and ends. And if you rummage through that, that means you are looking for something, and you might have to move other items as you rummage. Garage, you probably know that term. Across the street, right there, that person has a garage. A lot of times you can store a car in the garage, but a lot of Americans just keep buying stuff, and they don't have room in their garage for a car. Now, this is grass, but you could also call it a lawn or a front lawn. Or maybe like a front yard. That's where we get all of those terms. Rummage sale, yard sale, lawn sale, garage sale. Let's talk about some of these items that are for sale. I don't know. I don't... Actually, I don't think this is for sale. I think this is... Yeah, that looks like somebody's using that. I don't think we can buy that. But maybe we could buy this dresser. We'd probably call this a dresser. Maybe a bureau. We would definitely call these board games. They look like they're on a blue tarp. Oh, this thing, Pie Face. This was super popular a couple years ago. To play Pie Face, you ask a bunch of questions, and I think if you get it wrong, you get a pie in the face. That could be fun. That could be messy. Let's talk about the verb outgrow. Here, there are a lot of clothes for sale. And it probably means that the children in this house are too big for these clothes now. They've outgrown them. They're selling them for pretty cheap. Two bucks for a pair of jeans?

🍕 HOW TO TALK ABOUT FOOD IN ENGLISH A2
🟨 To become a member and get special videos, join the Discord server, and special member chats, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join
1. Apple: "I like to eat a red apple for a snack."
2. Banana: "A yellow banana is a sweet and tasty fruit."
3. Bread: "We use bread to make sandwiches for lunch."
4. Cheese: "Pizza has melted cheese on top, and it's delicious."
5. Chicken: "Chicken is a type of meat, and it's good for dinner."
6. Chocolate: "I love to eat chocolate because it's sweet and brown."
7. Coffee: "Many grown-ups drink coffee to wake up in the morning."
8. Egg: "We can cook an egg for breakfast; it's a little round food."
9. Fish: "Fish is a food that lives in water, and we can cook it."
10. Grapes: "Grapes are small, round fruits in bunches, and they taste sweet."
And the next one, one of my favorite foods, is chocolate. And I have a definition and a sentence for you, using chocolate. Chocolate is a sweet treat that's brown and delicious. If you remember back to the colors lesson we did, we talked about brown. And I think we talked about chocolate as well. Here's a sentence using the word chocolate. I love to eat chocolate because it's sweet and brown. Brown is not one of my favorite colors, but I thought that would be a good review. Brown. The next one is also brown. But some people like to drink it warm, and some people like to drink it cold. But, it is one of the most popular drinks around the world, and that is coffee. Probably second to water as the world's favorite drink, or at least most common drink, coffee is a warm and dark drink that many adults enjoy. Some children, but I think most doctors say that children should not drink coffee, because it contains caffeine. In English, caffeine is a drug that gives you energy. Many people like to drink coffee to wake up in the morning. Please, let me know in the comments. Do you drink coffee every morning, or do you drink water every morning, which is probably healthier? I like to drink energy drinks, and I don't think those are that healthy. But, do you know what is healthy? That is an egg. You can cook an egg many different ways. Those yellow eggs on the plate, those are called scrambled eggs. And that kind of white and yellow egg, we call that a sunny side up egg. The yellow part is called the yolk, and the white part is called the white part. It's an egg white. An egg is a small oval food that comes from birds and is used in cooking. So, if you look at the shape of that egg in the middle, no, that way, call that an oval. It's almost like a circle. The next one is fish. But, before we get to fish, we should probably read the sentence with egg. We can cook an egg for breakfast. It's a little round food. So, ovals and circles are round. The next one is fish. You can have one fish, or you can have two fish. We do not say fishes. Fish is a food that lives in water, and we can cook it. And I think if you look at the picture over there, that kind of pink or reddish colored fish might be called salmon. And those yellow things are lemon slices. Fish can be prepared in many different ways. You might have a piece of fish for dinner. This might be the last one. I think it is. This is a fruit, a purple fruit. Grapes. Grapes are small, round fruits that come in bunches and taste sweet. Grapes are one of my favorite fruits. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson about learning... I hope you've enjoyed this lesson about food. See you next time.

🎨 HOW TO TALK ABOUT BASIC COLORS IN ENGLISH A1
Alright, it's a new day. I have a new shirt on, but we still have a few colors to talk about. The first one I would like to talk about is orange. Yeah, it's a little hard to pronounce. Orange. Orange.

Some people say there is no other word in English that sounds like orange. Oranges are orange in color. The pumpkin is orange. And if you look at that picture, that's true. The thing right over here, we call that an orange, and it just so happens to be orange in color. And the thing right next to it, pumpkin. I'm actually recording this on Halloween, one of the days, maybe the only day, known for pumpkins. Halloween. Let's scroll down a little bit more. Purple. Grapes can be purple. And if you look at that picture over there, there are a few bunches of grapes hanging from the tree. Purple is a cool color, and it's my favorite. So if you remember from the last part of the video, I said yellow was my favorite color. But my wife, Jamie, her favorite color is purple. Purple. Hopefully, not too hard to say. The next color is brown. This is one of my least favorite colors. I probably like brown the least of all the colors, I think. Couple things that are brown. Chocolate is brown. I can't resist chocolate, especially brownies. And if you look in the picture, on the left side, that is a bar of chocolate. And on the right side is something we call brownies in English. This next color, I kind of like. It's probably in my top five favorite colors. Pink. Flamingos are pink birds. And if you look at that picture, that bird that's standing straight up is what we call a flamingo in English. I don't think flamingos can fly. Most birds can fly, but I don't think the flamingo can. If you know that it can, please let me know in the comments. And next to the flamingo is a pink milkshake. And I'm thinking that is a strawberry milkshake. Flamingos are pink birds. Strawberry milkshakes can also be pink. This next color, black, is a color that a lot of people like. If you look at that picture, you can barely see the outline of a black cat. I believe, let's make it a little bigger, but I believe those eyes are yellow. Yeah. Take a look. The knight is black. The cat is black. During the day, the sky is blue, but when the sun goes down, the sky turns to mostly black. You might see a little bit of light, and we call those little bits of light stars. And last but not least, white. Snow is white. The paper is white. I think behind me, this background here, it's mostly white. Maybe a couple shades of white. We may talk about shades in the next lesson on colors. That's going to do it for today's lesson about important colors in English.
