In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack explains the meaning of three idioms using the verb "live."Phrasal Verbs: Live in / Live for / Live down / Live it upTranscript:A to Z Tips 32.mp300:00:0000:13:2600:00:01발표자 1Welcome to the A-Z English podcast, where Jack and Social take you on a journey from learning the basics to mastering the nuances of the English language. Our podcast is designed for non-native speakers who are looking to improve their English skills in a fun and interactive way. Each episode covers a wide range of topics.00:00:23발표자 1From grammar and vocabulary to slang and culture to help you navigate the English speaking world with ease.00:00:36발표자 2Welcome to the Adas English podcast. My name is Jack and I am one of the hosts of the podcast, and today I'm doing a solo episode. I'm without social. However, we have an interesting lesson for you today. It is a continuation of.00:00:53발표자 2Our last two quick tip episodes where we are unpacking the meanings.00:01:01발표자 2Of phrasal verbs, which can be kind of confusing in English, phrasal verbs are where we use usually a verb and a preposition together, and it has a kind of new meaning to it. So there are quite a few in English, and it's good to be familiar with these, so that.00:01:23발표자 2You know when you hear people use them, you.00:01:26발표자 2Understand what they're saying, or if you want to express yourself in a way that.00:01:30발표자 2Is a little bit.00:01:31발표자 2More specific and you wanna articulate a point that is.00:01:37발표자 2It's clearer than this may be a good solution for you. So our first one is our first phrasal verb is to live in, to live in, and this one's pretty easy to live in, means to reside in the place, especially a permanent or long term resident.00:02:00발표자 2For example, they live in a small cottage by the beach.00:02:07발표자 2Yeah. And you know, where do you live? You know? And it's not just live, but like I live in.00:02:15발표자 2So you would probably want to add like if somebody says.00:02:21발표자 2You know.00:02:24발표자 2Where do you live? Do you live in a house or an apartment? You could say. Well, I live in an apartment in whatever city in New York City I live in an apartment in New York City.00:02:38발표자 2Pretty. Ohh, that's great. OK, where do you live? Well, I live in a studio apartment in Brooklyn. OK, interesting. Interesting. But notice how we're using the verb.00:02:56발표자 2Ohh sorry, we're using the proposition in after the verb live live in you know. Where do you live? I I live in Mexico.00:03:07발표자 2OK.00:03:09발표자 2Yeah, because in meaning in that country, in that apartment, in that neighborhood I live in, I live in Brooklyn. I live in Manhattan. I live in Mexico City. I live in Colorado. I live in Los Angeles.00:03:29발표자 2These are are very common expressions in so and so you should get used to using that together live in live in where do you live? I live in. I live in Stillwater. I live in White Bear Lake. I live in North Saint Paul.00:03:47발표자 2That's where I live.00:03:49발표자 2#2.00:03:55발표자 2They live in a small sorry I read this one already. Sorry #2 live 4 live 4.00:04:07발표자 2OK, this is to have a strong passion or desire for something. What do you live for? Like, what is your?00:04:18발표자 2Number one priority, who do you you know? Who do you live for? What do you live for? What is your?00:04:25발표자 2Obsession, you know, I'm. I'm trying to think of a an example.00:04:32발표자 2What's a good example of somebody that lives for something?00:04:37발표자 2I'm trying to.00:04:38발표자 2Think of some like sports athletes and.00:04:45발표자 2Well, let's just for the lack of of a better example here. Let's talk about messy, OK?00:04:54발표자 2What does messian live for?00:04:56발표자 2If you had to choose one thing, what?00:04:58발표자 2Does he live for?00:05:00발표자 2He lives for football.00:05:02발표자 2OK, it consumes 90% of his life.00:05:09발표자 2You know, he sees his family sometimes, but really he lives for football, lives for football. And here's an example.00:05:21발표자 2To have a strong passion or desire for something.00:05:27발표자 2Example. She lives for adventure and is always seeking new experiences, so maybe for her every time there's a holiday from school or from work, she jumps on a plane and she travels somewhere because what is her passion? What does she live?00:05:47발표자 2Or she lives for traveling.00:05:51발표자 2She lives for adventure.00:05:55발표자 2OK, So what do you live for? What do you live for?00:05:59발표자 2Gotta think of what I live for these days. I live for podcasting. I mean, that's the reality. I every minute of my day that I have any extra time. I'm in my office, I'm editing podcasts. I'm recording podcasts.00:06:17발표자 2I live for podcasts. Yeah, this is true. This is true.00:06:23발표자 2Uh. All right, let's do #9 live down, live down LIVEDOWN.00:06:35발표자 2Live down means to overcome or recover from an embarrassing or shameful situation.00:06:45발표자 2Example, it took him 10 years to live down the embarrassment of that awkward speech, so maybe he gave a speech.00:06:57발표자 2And he forgot all the words.00:07:00발표자 2So he was just doing a speech. Hello. My. My name is Jack. And today I'm going to talk.00:07:11발표자 2Talk about.00:07:13발표자 2Talk about. I can't remember what I was gonna talk about. Yeah, that's an unmitigated disaster, right? If you forget everything that you're going to talk about, that it's going to take you a while to live down the shame.00:07:34발표자 2The embarrassment and you know, as we say in English, time heals all wounds, right? So 10 years later, no one is gonna care about his bad speech. But maybe for the first six months.00:07:51발표자 2His colleagues might make fun of him and.00:07:54발표자 2Make a joke, you know.00:07:57발표자 2It's possible it's possible.00:08:01발표자 2And so.00:08:03발표자 2To live down something is to overcome or recover from an embarrassing or shameful situation. Example it took him years to live down the embarrassment.00:08:18발표자 2Of that awkward speech. So the first two years, every time he thought about that speech, he blushed. You know, his face turned red and he was embarrassed. But after 10 years, you just kind of go ohh, whatever. Who cares?00:08:38발표자 2You know, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.00:08:42발표자 2It's not that important, but when things are fresh in our minds, we definitely like to think about it a lot and obsess about it and feel bad about it. But don't.00:08:58발표자 2Nobody cares, right? People will forget it immediately and you don't need to. No one will think about it more than you think about it.00:09:09발표자 2OK, think about that.00:09:11발표자 2No one will think about your bad speech more.00:09:16발표자 2Then you think about it yourself. OK, so if you can take that power away from it and forgive yourself, you'll be much happier. #10 live up to live up to it means to enjoy life to the fullest.00:09:37발표자 2Often by indulging in enjoyable activities or experiences.00:09:43발표자 2Have you ever met a couple that want to live it up?00:09:48발표자 2You know, they go skydiving and parachuting and parasailing and surfing and traveling and.00:09:56발표자 2They're just all over the world living it up, just having a great time together to live it up.00:10:07발표자 2Are you a livid up kind of person, or are you a Super Saver? Do you want to save up with your husband and wife and buy a house? No vacations, maybe have some children? What is your?00:10:25발표자 2Objective for when you have some money, when you have some money, when you're earning some money, what do you want to do with your money?00:10:36발표자 2And remember that the meaning of phrasal verbs can sometimes be idiomatic and context dependent, so it's important to consider the context in which they are used to fully understand their intended meanings. So.00:10:55발표자 2You know, again, these are not like 100%.00:10:58발표자 2Went black and white. Some of them are idiomatic expressions and they might be used a little differently. Pay attention when you're talking to native speakers so that you can also use these in a more colloquial X extemporal.00:11:19발표자 2My brain is, yeah.00:11:24발표자 2I don't know if that's the right word. Improvisational. I don't know. Manner so that you can actually use these. You know, these are very common in in American culture. So I think these are good to learn. And with that said.00:11:44발표자 2I will stop today's today's episode. I just want you to go to podchaser.com. Give us a good review. All you need is a Google account. If you can just find it in your heart to just give us like, you know 55555, give us a go.00:12:00발표자 2Gold recommendation or go to cast box cast box is also a place where you can give us a good recommendation.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack discuss the following question: Are you good in stressful situations or do you freak out? Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast, where Jack and Social take you on a journey from learning the basics to mastering the nuances of the English language. Our podcast is designed for non-native speakers who are looking to improve their English skills in a fun and interactive way. Each episode covers a wide range of topics.00:00:23JackFrom grammar and vocabulary to slang and culture to help you navigate the English speaking world with ease.00:00:35JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I am one of the hosts of the podcast and I'm here with my co-host, social and today we're going to do a question and we'll answer the question for you. The question is, are you good in stressful situations or do you?00:00:54JackFreak out and social. Why don't you define freak out for our listeners out there in case they don't know what that means?00:01:02XochitlSpeak out is like completely start panicking and lose your ability to think things through rationally and you kind of become a liability for yourself.00:01:14XochitlAnd everyone around.00:01:15XochitlYou in a special.00:01:18JackYeah, if you freak out, just lose your lose, your cool. We say in English, right. You kind of, you kind of go crazy, you freak out.00:01:28JackLet me see here. Are you good in stressful situations or do you do?00:01:32JackYou usually freak out.00:01:35XochitlI was just thinking about this the other day because I was watching a Netflix show where like their plane crashes into a lake or some like huge lake in Alaska and like.00:01:47XochitlThe guy starts freaking out and ends up like.00:01:51XochitlRuining everything by opening the plane door and like the water, all rushes in and like girls, like really feel like she's had her head on straight.00:02:01XochitlAnd keeps thinking rationally and and me personally, I think it probably is going to depend on the situation, but I tend to. I don't like freeze. I tend to go into action and I was trained that way from an early age because my parents only said.00:02:23XochitlNo one else is gonna. You have to assume that no one else will do anything, so you have to. If you see someone bus or head open on the sidewalk or something, you have to assume that no one else is going to call the ambulance. You need to call the ambulance like you need to get it together. So because my parents kind of really put that in my head.00:02:36JackRight.00:02:44XochitlFrom an early age, I feel.00:02:46XochitlI it really stuck and I do kind of always like react quickly in a bystander situation or like a personal crisis.00:02:56XochitlYeah. I appreciate my parents for that because I learned about the bystander effect in psychology and.00:03:01XochitlA lot of people.00:03:01XochitlWill literally just stand by and stare and not do anything.00:03:04JackRight. What is the? How would you describe the bystander effect? I think that's a good, good one for our listeners to learn.00:03:12XochitlBystander effect is like, let's say that you see a car crash and the person stumbles out of the car and it's like bleeding everywhere and there's a big group of people all staring, but no one is calling the ambulance. No one.00:03:24XochitlIs coming in.00:03:24XochitlTo help, and the reason for that is because.00:03:28XochitlWe all like there's a psychological principle.00:03:30XochitlWhere we think someone.00:03:31XochitlElse is doing it or is going to.00:03:33XochitlDo it so we kind of freeze collectively.00:03:37JackRight. Because I think the guy next to me is going to call 911. He thinks I'm going to call 911.00:03:42JackOr 119 whatever.00:03:44JackYour country, you're in and.00:03:45JackNobody does it. So it's like you got.00:03:47XochitlYes. And then in two weeks, so they're all.00:03:49JackA whole group of people, yeah.00:03:51XochitlWaiting for someone.00:03:51XochitlElse to do it, yeah.00:03:52XochitlYeah. Hope you're just standing around.00:03:54XochitlSo how about you, Jack?00:03:55XochitlAre you good in stressful situations?00:03:57XochitlOr do you tend to panic?00:03:58JackI think so. I think I'm. I think I'm pretty good in, in stressful situations. The funny thing is I do suffer from panic. I get panic. I have panic disorder.00:04:10JackAnd I I don't mind sharing that with the the listeners out there. It started, yeah, it started in 2006, but they it never happens in stressful situations. It only happens in like normal situations where we have this.00:04:13XochitlYou get like panic attacks.00:04:27JackThis this expression in English or or condition or whatever we call it fight or flight right? It's like when you feel actually it's there's three right it's fight freeze or flight.00:04:39JackAnd so, in a stressful situation, do you fight, do you, or do you take action? Do you freeze?00:04:45JackOr do you run away?00:04:47JackAnd me, I would get into these, you know, because I I have this condition, I would feel that.00:04:57JackFear the the the fight, the the, the fear feeling of the feeling of fear. But it would be just in a normal situation. So. But The funny thing is it's it's very odd.00:05:09JackOr ironic? Is that in really stressful situations?00:05:15JackI'm actually pretty cool.00:05:17JackI'm pretty chill. I don't freak out. Uh, I had a a pretty.00:05:22JackBig car accident a few years ago.00:05:25JackAnd I remember.00:05:27JackLosing complete control of my car on the freeway, I was hit by a truck.00:05:32JackAnd I went.00:05:33JackAll the way across the freeway, sideways and smashed into the retaining wall totaled my car.00:05:42발표자I was pretty.00:05:44JackKind of. Just like in shock, but I I I didn't start screaming or yelling or jump out of my car or run around. I was just very much like, OK, let's do an assessment. Wear arms and legs. Do I have my arms? Do I have my legs? Yes. Am I in pain? No, I'm not. Dude, I have my seat belt, you know, saved my life.00:06:04JackAll those things I was able to.00:06:06JackKind of in that.00:06:08JackDo an assessment and see where I was and I was actually thinking very clearly. I think maybe it has to do with the adrenaline in your body is it's kind of allows you to to to it. It's like a it's like a shot of energy. And so in that situation I thought I played it pretty cool and so.00:06:28JackIt wasn't until maybe like one or two hours later, when I kind of freaked out a little bit, but in the moment of stress, I'm actually pretty good. I'm pretty dependable and I take.00:06:40XochitlJack, I have kind of a theory and a question related to that theory. Did you grow up like around a lot of stress or like stressful situations and stuff like that? Like, did you?00:06:54JackOhh that's a good question. Uhm, no, actually, you know.00:06:57JackI grew up in a pretty.00:07:00JackI'm trying to think like.00:07:02JackDid I have a lot of stressful situations?00:07:05JackNo, no. I would say I grew up in a pretty sheltered, you know, pretty, pretty, you know, pretty sheltered existence. You know, with the caring parents, you know, they were they they were watching out for us, but they were giving us enough.00:07:21JackYou know, room to invent, you know, find adventure and and have fun. So I didn't really experience a lot of stress as a young person.00:07:31XochitlThat's interesting. I definitely feel I experienced like a lot of stress and trauma in my younger years.00:07:39XochitlAnd I think that that is why.00:07:43XochitlI'm like, chill in high stress situations, but kind of also suffer from like anxiety and soul part. And just like normal everyday situations. Because I feel that my brain was primed to see like stress.00:08:03XochitlAnd intense situations as normal.00:08:10XochitlThen whenever I'm in a relaxed, calm environment for too long, I get like really anxious because I think it's like my brain's like, OK, where's what's?00:08:20XochitlThe danger here?00:08:22XochitlI think that's weird.00:08:22JackThat's funny. I'm the same.00:08:24JackWay. I'm like we in English. We say I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's like nothing is scarier for me than no crises occurring at any moment. If I'm crisis free.00:08:38JackThen I'm just in a state of waiting for the next horrible thing to happen, and I'm just waiting. Always, like, OK, what's things are too good right now? They're too good. Something bad needs to happen, and it's it's just such a like it's it's such a a kind of negative way of.00:08:58JackYou know, we just talked about the power of positive thinking.00:09:00JackI think that's like the.00:09:01XochitlRight.00:09:03XochitlPower of negative thinking and the fact that.00:09:04JackThe power of negative thinking.00:09:05JackYeah, like that's it, it does. It's just like it's it and my brain is just, you know, I can't change it. I'm just, I'm just that way. And so yeah, very simple situations. I'm like, I I have panic. And yet in the most stressful situation, I'm.00:09:14XochitlRight.00:09:23JackCool as a cucumber.00:09:24XochitlYeah, it's like you were expecting that to happen. Yeah. I think there's, like, a lot that goes into it. I think it can either be that we grew up in a in an environment that was very like tumultuous, which for our listeners who don't know, it's like a really chaotic or intense environment.00:09:42XochitlAnd I think another thing is that for our survival.00:09:46XochitlWe have, like you know, Caveman brain. Those our brain in a.00:09:51XochitlWay like we have evolved and developed.00:09:55XochitlOver hundreds and thousands of years, but at the same time, I think there's still parts of our brain that are primed to.00:10:06XochitlSearch for danger because we did not always have the kind of comfort that we do now, like the kind of comfortable life or safety that is so widespread these days.00:10:16JackYeah. When we lived in the forest or on the Savannah, you know where there were large cats and things like that. You know, our ancient ancestors, it was good to be always on alert. Cause you're like lying cheetah, you know, like a wild boar.00:10:35JackWe we were the.00:10:36JackOnes that survived.00:10:37JackYou know, and the the, I think the problem is that we we're we're we're very much like attuned our brains are attuned for a hunter gatherer kind of lifestyle.00:10:50JackYeah. And we, but we live in a mode.00:10:53JackAnd, you know, comforts, you know, we live in the modern comforts of of modern society. And so.00:11:01XochitlAnd I I do.00:11:02XochitlThink that a lot.00:11:03XochitlOf the way that our society is structured now, just like leads our anxiety to get worse in a lot of ways because we're a lot more isolated than previous generations. We have a way more hectic work.00:11:20XochitlSchedule and life.00:11:21XochitlWork life balance and previous generations did.00:11:24XochitlAnd we exist in a society where we're all connected to social media constantly, and I'm not one of those social media haters. Oh my God, I don't like.00:11:33XochitlPeople like that, I do.00:11:35JackUmm, no, I I use it. It's very.00:11:37JackUseful for our podcast, you know.00:11:38XochitlYes, awareness of all the bad things happening all the time through social media is something that.00:11:47XochitlIs not good for mental health.00:11:49JackYeah, no, I we're inundated with like, sorry, I'm using big words here. Inundated means we are our minds are filled with images and headlines of all the tragedies across the entire world of which there are many. And I don't think that's a healthy thing that we're. I don't think we.00:12:09JackWere supposed to.00:12:11JackKnow everything.00:12:13JackEverywhere, all at once. You know, it was when I was a kid, it was like, you know, my neighborhood news. That's what I would get, you know, the newspaper, the local news. Now we just get, like, I can if there's something bad happens, you know, on the other side of the globe, you know, I hear about it. The.00:12:33JackIce caps are are melting the UM, you know, the sea level is rising. There was an earthquake here and a tsunami over there, and a tornado over.00:12:43JackHere and a hurricane.00:12:44JackAnd over there, and it just feels like the world is collapsing and it's just like maybe it's always been that way. But there's we're just getting more information, and I'm not a climate change denier. I certainly accept climate change here. I just want to make that clear. But I just think that we're not meant to know everything.00:13:04JackAll at one time.00:13:05XochitlIt can be too stressful, especially when we don't really have anything we.00:13:08XochitlCan directly do about it.00:13:10JackRight.00:13:10XochitlYeah, it does get overwhelming.00:13:14XochitlSo yeah, let us know, Jack, what was the?00:13:19JackNo. Yeah, yeah, I'll.
