In this lesson, I answer a question I got from a channel member, Nori from Hungary. She was wondering how to use the English phrasal verb, "belt out." We mostly use belt out when we talk about singing a song. I also go over several other ways we use the word, belt. There is a mini lesson about the English idiom, "A Dime A Dozen" at the end of the video if you are interested.    Link to the original video: https://youtu.be/5jAcALbweCM Check out Rod's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyL84R8QPRE Check out Bob the Canadian's channel:  https://youtu.be/UN44jtcC5Og  🇺🇸  🇬🇧  Follow this link for bonus credits from Italki for online English lessons after your first purchase: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1355613&u=2346050&m=70611&urllink=&afftrack=  🔷 To become a member, here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join  🔷  Follow me on Instagram for mini-mini lessons: https://www.instagram.com/americanenglishwiththisguy/  This lesson is about the phrasal verb, "belt out," but if you want to stay until the end, there is a bonus mini lesson about the english idiom a dime a dozen if you don't want to watch that there are chapters below to help you figure out exactly what you want to watch hello and welcome back to another english lesson this is american english with this guy i'm this guy my name is brent i've been an english teacher in the united states for 20 years the goal of this channel is to help you improve your english and the goal of today's lesson is to explain the phrasal verb belt out and the idea for this lesson comes from a channel member named nori from hungary she's been with the channel since day one and i truly want to say how much i appreciate all of the channel members yesterday was thanksgiving in the united states and that is a day to say what we are thankful for i am thankful for all the channel members all the subscribers anyone who watches these lessons and i hope that you get a little bit out of this i hope that your english improves because of the channel thank you so much so one thing that makes english so difficult is that you might know the definition of belt and probably most people realize oh that is something you wear around your waist to keep your pants up sure that is one definition and maybe the most common but there are other types of belts for instance when you go to the supermarket and you put your groceries on that little thing that brings your groceries closer to the cashier we sometimes call that thing a belt some airports will have a conveyor belt that will bring your luggage to you when you get off your flight did you also know that belt could be used as a verb and we use that when we say we are going to hit somebody which i hope you never have to use but think of a little brother and a little sister maybe they're not getting along very well one of them is annoying the other one they might say hey if you don't stop it i'm gonna belt you and that's another way to say i am going to hit you i have two kids a boy and a girl they're teenagers now but thankfully they never belted each other i would have a real problem as a parent if they belted each other they would get into a whole lot of trouble  0:00-0:40 Introduction to the lesson 0:41-4:33 How to Use the English Phrasal Verb Belt Out 4:34-4:54 How to Talk about Mild Weather in English 4:55-5:36 Thank You to Everyone 5:49-7:25 How to Use the English Idiom A Dime A Dozen

In this English lesson, I give a quick biography on Edgar Allan Poe and then I read an adaptation of his short story, "The Tell Tale Heart" in slow, clear, easy to understand English.    Poe was born in Boston in 1809, and he died in 1849. Some people say Poe "drank himself to death," and I explain that phrase in the lesson. I also explain the term, adaptation, because this is an adaptation of Poe's original "Tell Tale Heart."   "The Tale Heart" is about a man who gets nervous about an old man's eye, and he does something so he'll never have to look at that eye again.   🔷  Follow me on Instagram for mini-mini lessons: https://www.instagram.com/americanenglishwiththisguy/  🇺🇸  🇬🇧  Follow this link for bonus credits from Italki for online English lessons after your first purchase: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1355613&u=2346050&m=70611&urllink=&afftrack=  🔷  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/americanenglishwiththisguy 0:00-5:14 Edgar Allan Poe's Biography 5:15-14:48 "The Tell Tale Heart" Reading in Slow English

In this English lesson, I tell a story about how my daughter, my son, my wife, and I have all had to quarantine since the beginning of the school year.  While I tell this story, I explain how you can use the following expressions: "I'm bummed," "What a bummer," "There's always a silver lining," and "We never know what tomorrow will bring." I think one of the best ways to learn English is to learn through story telling, so I hope that this story helps you with your English learning.    🔷  Follow me on Instagram for mini-mini lessons: https://www.instagram.com/americanenglishwiththisguy/  🇺🇸  🇬🇧  Follow this link for bonus credits from Italki for online English lessons after your first purchase: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1355613&u=2346050&m=70611&urllink=&afftrack=  🔷  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/americanenglishwiththisguy

For about one hour, I will answer all of your questions about learning English and American culture. I have been teaching middle school and high school English in the United States for the past twenty years. We can talk about how the United States just observed Veterans Day or how it was once called Armistice Day. Anytime we talk about politics, that can be a tricky subject, but the presidential election is still pretty big news over here.    👍  Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join  🔺Link to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/americanenglishwiththisguy  📕 Check out the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/learn-american-english-with-this-guy/id1492922725?uo=4  📕  Check out the podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CMwbrEPRtk46eseEmxFOd  🔺Aronne's Italian Podcast: ​https://podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/lets-talk-italian-with-aronne/id1498382139  🔺My favorite videos playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZJxW7kBsjp8HR-i6VKkejrfbhVFerWbg

Six other ways to say "I'm getting older" is what this English lesson about. I turned 45 recently and had to visit to doctor to get a shot because of some pain I had been having, so I thought it was a great opportunity to talk about getting older in English.    🔷 To become a member, here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join  🔷  Follow me on Instagram for mini-mini lessons: https://www.instagram.com/americanenglishwiththisguy/  🇺🇸  🇬🇧  Follow this link for bonus credits from Italki for online English lessons after your first purchase: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1355613&u=2346050&m=70611&urllink=&afftrack=  🔷  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/americanenglishwiththisguy

I had to take the day off from teaching because I had a doctor's appointment right in the middle of the day.  I had a little extra time in the morning, so I went live on YouTube, rambling in slow, easy to understand English and took some questions from viewers. I hope you enjoy. A huge shoutout to Romer A. from Brazil for the very kind words he sent me. 🇧🇷 🇺🇸  🇬🇧  Follow this link for bonus credits from Italki for online English lessons after your first purchase: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1355613&u=2346050&m=70611&urllink=&afftrack=  🔷  Follow me on Instagram for mini-mini lessons: https://www.instagram.com/americanenglishwiththisguy/  🔷 To become a member, here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join  🔷  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/americanenglishwiththisguy
