with our today's lesson I hope you

it has Jane been able to let you take
the lead at all since we saw each other
last I
[Music]
tried
away it's not my fault you have asthma
um why why even say that how is asthma
relevant here she's just using it to cut
me don't do the thing where you twist it
around and make it seem like you're the
good guy and I'm being bad I'm not I'm
pointing out I'm not the villain you
were the one who was actually I'm not
the villain either yeah how so how so
elaborate
on so we meet a married couple at their
therapy session they can't reveal their
true identity so they have to pretend
they are actually software engineers
and that makes the whole situation so
funny to observe when we know what
they're talking about but a therapist
seemingly struggles to understand what's
going on has Jane been able to let you
take the lead at all when you're in a
couple or in a group of people usually
somebody takes the lead or becomes a
leader it's like in dancing you have to
trust your partner by the way there is
another cocation that would be
interesting for you to know to follow
one's lead to follow the lead means to
follow the example and do like the other
person does let's break down the
connected speech in this sentence has
Jane been able to let you take the lead
at all the T from at stands between two
vowels so we hear the sound du at all at
has a schw sound uh and it's grouped
with the two words standing next to it
LE doll LE doll now check out this
example from the show Lost you guys
coming you all want to go
fine but perhaps I should take the
lead has Jane been able to let you take
the lead at all since we saw each other
last since here introduces an event in
the past the last therapy session they
had and we use past simple to mark this
past event since we saw the word since
means from that particular time in the
past until now so in the first part of
the sentence we use present perfect has
been able to show the connection between
the past and the present moment since
last time and until now you can see the
same pattern in the following examples
we haven't met since we moved to her new
apartment I've been very busy since I
came back from
holiday I've practiced my English a lot
since I found this channel it's not my
fault you have asthma there are two ways
to pronounce this word with an S and z
sound asthma
and asthma asthma is a medical condition
that makes it difficult for a person to
breathe how is asthma relevant here when
you say something is relevant to a
conversation it means that it is closely
related to the topic you're discussing
here the therapist can't understand how
difficulty in breathing can be connected
to their job as software Engineers check
how the word relevant is used in the
legal context in this TV show American
Crime Story this is not a domestic
violence case nor is it an inquiry into
the characteristics and personality of
Mr Simpson and all this evidence that
was submitted is not
relevant using it to cut me don't do the
thing where you twist it around and make
it seem like you're the good guy and I'm
being bad to cut someone down means to
embarrass humiliate criticize someone or
to make someone feel small twisting it
around is basically changing the meaning
of something or presenting the events in
another light so that you look nicer
than the other person in that situation
or use it to achieve other goals here's
a nice example to show how you can use
the phrase twist my words around in your
everyday
communication you're breaking up with
me no no you always do this you twist my
words around don't do the thing where
you twist it around and make it seem
like you're the good guy and I'm being
bad normally we wouldn't use the verb to
be in the continue continuous or
Progressive form but here she refers to
the temporary situation so there is a
difference between these two sentences
I'm bad and I'm being bad I'm bad means
that I'm a bad person all the time and
I'm being bad means that I'm bad at this
very moment but actually I'm a good
person and I don't act like that all the
time check out these examples why are
you being so rude please don't talk to
me like that stop that you're being
really
annoying oh come on don't be mad he's
just being foolish I'm not I'm pointing
out I'm not the villain you the one who
is actually you are pointing out when
you are bringing attention to something
like in this clip no I'm I'm just
pointing out that there are a lot of
really great things here like villain is
usually the bad guy or the antagonist in
a story here it's metaphorical meaning
someone who's seen as a bad or mean
person in a situation meaning this
context means to be unkind or hurtful
I'm not the villain either yeah how so
the word either is the same as also or
too so I'm not the villain either means
I'm not a bad guy too we usually use it
to agree to a negative statement like
for example I haven't watched this movie
yet and the answer would be I haven't
watched it either how so elaborate on
that when you are asked to elaborate on
something it means they ask you to give
more details or explain something
further but when used as an adjective
elaborate is detailed and complicated
note the difference in pronunciation
here elaborate as a verb so four
syllables
elaborate and elaborate as an adjective
only three syllables elaborate check
these two examples how these words can
be used in these two different meanings
it says here you with the CEO of snap
time
Industries care to elaborate on that
sure well that was the uh Umbrella
Corporation for my invention the Snapper
all part of my elaborate plan to defeat
you guys let's review some of the words
you've learned so far do you remember
the meaning of the phrase to take the
lead track the steps of someone you
follow help your partner by carrying the
heavy load go first

real life English app in your favorite

description to this video and now let's
swch the next part of the scene remember
that the funny situation here is that
the therapist assumes that they are a
married couple both working as software
Engineers so she can't wrap her head
around what makes them argue so
passionately about the work tasks they
had
so there was a software malfunction I'm
saving the computer from crashing you
always have to be first to troubleshoot
a problem when it's fine the way it is I
don't need a troubleshoot I start at
zero and I go up through the Cod you go
up through the codes my files are clean
files are so corrupt the amount that I
have to clean up after you is wild
really cuz the malware you have is
incredible okay it's crazy that it's
still even you're the one who did the
thing after that's that's the that's the
thing that actually me
up you never want to give me credit for
anything okay I'm good at pivoting I
taught you
that I'm always communicating with you
on the job I'm keeping you in the loop
third
floor oh come on fourth floor
[Music]
whatever Jane always the Martyr I get
it 10
four I'm going to K
11th 16th
FL we're heading out to the
[Applause]
roof so there was a software malfunction
when your computer programs suddenly
starts acting not as it is supposed to
act it freezes and glitches that's when
you have a software
malfunction malfunction is another word
for crash or failure I'm saving the
computer from crashing practice the
American t or d sound in the word
computer
computer you always have to be first to
troubleshoot a problem when it's fine
the way it is so when your computer
crashes you want to troubleshoot or
figure out what's going wrong and how to
fix it the word troubleshoot may not
only used with the Technologies it can
refer to solving problems in general so
yeah you may both use this word for
solving problems and in the context of
computer programs I don't need a
troubleshoot in this word chunk don't
need we drop the T sound and Link the
two words don't need your files are so
corrupt when a computer file a program
is all messed up full of errors and
doesn't work properly anymore it's
corrupt you can also use this word when
talking about a person who is dishonest
and broken morally like a corrupt
politician last week any
day the entire archive is corrupt the
amount that I have to clean up after you
is wild let's break down the connected
speech here look at the phrase that I
have to De I the T at the end of that
stands between two vowels and we
pronounce it as du D the phrase have to
is commonly reduced to have to listen
and try to repeat that I have to clean
up after you that I have to clean up
after
you the amount that I have to clean up
after you is wild Jane uses the word
wild to emphasize how much she has to
clean after John she talks about a huge
amount of Errors maybe and the word wild
can be synonymous in this context to the
words insane crazy
unbelievable really cuz the malware you
have is incredible malware are sneaky
little programs designed to mess up your
computer and steal your information they
are like the villains of the digital
world always causing trouble that's
that's the that's the thing that
actually me up here we hear the
curs word that is used in a way that is
not insulting so even Jane sounds rude
when she says uh this is what me
up in this context to me up means
to upset to someone up is to hurt
someone emotionally or even physically
but it can also be said about some
physical damage of an object or a person
it's not fair I I know for you to have
to be the one to
decide it me up
sa being wrong about Brody it really it
me up never want to give me
credit for anything John reduces here
want to to wna dropping the T sound and
we hear you never want to give me credit
to give someone credit for something is
to acknowledge someone's efforts or
abilities it's like saying hey you did a
great job on that project okay I'm good
at pivoting I taught you that when you
suddenly change direction especially in
business or a project you pivot here he
may be referring to improvising thinking
on his feed changing the initial plan
keeping you in the loop you keep someone
in the loop when you keep that person
informed and share the news with them
the opposite would be to keep out of the
loop Loop it is usually about
communicating some important news about
the project or family Affairs but here
the joke is that Jane was just naming
the floors 9th floor 10th floor 11th for
him to track her whereabout and keep up
with a pace which John was obviously
struggling with very little social
engagement I know you're about to launch
and you're keeping me out of the loop
true the party is tonight
tonight what you going to tell me this
never whatever Jane always the Martyr I
get it martyr or Mar what a tricky word
to pronounce means someone who suffers
for their opinions or their beliefs or
even someone who is being tortured for
that in a relationship and Martyr would
be a person who sacrifices their own
personal happiness or success for that
of their partner so as we see John
complains that all the credit goes to
Jane as if he's not helping anyway like
he sacrifices his part of success so
that she takes all the credit why don't
you check out this example you just St
being such a martyr I am not being a
martyr I'm a victim we're heading out to
the roof you can use the word head as a
verb to refer to going or moving in a
specific Direction so for example if you
head to the store that means you're
going to the store hey guys that was
amazing now do you want to test your
comprehension let's watch the clip one
more time without subtitles
[Music]
now has Jane been able to let you take
the lead at all what did the therapist
want to know when she asked Jane if she
was able to let Jon Take the Lead she
wanted to know if Jane let Jon Express
his feelings and emotions johon wasn't
aggressive in his communication with
Jane Jane let JN go first and take
responsibility for the situation
[Music]
since we saw each other
last I
tried
away it's not my fault you have asthma
uh
why why even say that how is asthma
relevant here she's just using it to cut
me down don't do the thing where you
twist it around and make it seem like
you're the good guy and I'm being bad
I'm not I'm pointing out what does to
point out mean to tell what you think in
another person's point of view is to
bring another person's attention to some
facts to check how many points another
person gained
I'm not the villain you were the one who
was actually I'm not the villain either
which word can be a synonym to the word
mean and kind reasonable
meaningful yeah how so how so elaborate
on that so there was a software
malfunction I'm saving the computer from
crashing you always have to be first to
troubleshoot a problem when it's fine
the way it is I don't need a
troubleshoot I start at zero and I go up
through the codes you go up through the
codes my files are clean my your files
are so corrupt the amount that I have to
clean up after you is wild really cuz in
this context what does the word wild
mean the amount that I have to clean up
after you is wild
the malware you have is incredible okay
it's crazy that it's still even running
you're the one who did the thing after
that's that's the that's the thing that
actually me
up you never want to give me credit for
anything okay I'm good at pivoting to
give someone credit for some something
means give money to another person
believe what another person says
acknowledge another person's good
[Music]
work I taught you
then I'm always communicating with you
on the job I'm keeping you in the loop
third floor you keep another person in
the loop if you share all the
information with them keep everything in
secret from them always keep an eye out
for that
person oh come
