name PTTDDD hello okay welcome if you got any English questions let me know right now what was English questions only let's hear them I'm going to drink while I wait if you cannot chat it's because

uh yeah besides attending jack yeah you used uh besides correctly yeah you use besides correctly that's not the same word as beside and open up my drink this live stream is sponsored by nobody so I'm not going to show you what I'm drinking all right PPD PTT PTT DDD geez you can have a better name it's hard to say as a question so let's get I'm going to copy this if I can and go to the uh board here he says many thinks this is wrong many think this could be the first generation that doesn't outlive its parents I want to me I want to know the meaning of outlive all right so this is your example sentence this is your question and with question it's not really a question it's more of a statement many think this could be the first generation that doesn't outlive its parents uh so outlive basically means live longer so uh I will outlive my mom and dad which means they will die before me and I will outlive them I'll live longer but this says many think this could be the first generation that doesn't outlive its parents it means we are extending our life so much so you know people born now they might live to 150 years old they might live to 200 years old so we're extending our age so this generation you know normally parents die let's say 80 years old and children are 40 50 60 years old but this generation your parents might uh live to 120 and you also live to 115 uh the age is uh everyone's going to be old so this generation uh might not outlive they might not live longer than their parents so it's possible uh your mom dies at age let's say your mom dies at age 120 no let's say your mother's age is 120 and your age is 90 so actually your mother had you when she was 30 years old she's 120 your age 90 and you die before your mother now you died at age 90 you're still very old you had a very uh good life but you might not your your parents might not die before you because everyone is living so long hope that hope you got it so outlive just means live longer all right let's see let's go back to talking here and it's been a while since i did these live streams i don't know where to go here let's go back to full street all right what's going on what are the questions i don't see questions he was upset with me he was upset at me uh we was upset with we was upset with he was upset with me do you think meditate can really help to reduce stress i am an english teacher i don't know about meditation uh english based school thank you so much for serving mankind well not just mankind every kind of human hello alex i will try to use beside in these examples number one don't worry about the place you can sit beside me yes this movie is boring beside that last one no that doesn't work number two is wrong i don't know what you beside you're trying to use for number two beside means next to this your number two this movie is boring next to that last one that doesn't work that doesn't work any other english class questions let me know i'm not going to go too long in this live stream because jack will be doing his free zoom class uh in about 50 minutes so if you want to check that out i'm doing the links below the video uh may is let's copy maze question i'm going to put it on my white board here oh this is confusing to use all right so may is asking when is the situation where we need to double a letter to need to double a letter for example prefer or prefer well prefer is just one f better better is t t two t t's so may is looking for a rule to help her spelling may there is no rule uh you just this is one of the problems with spelling you just every every word is different you have to learn you have to learn the spelling of each word sometimes there's a pattern sometimes there's no pattern uh but uh i don't make the spelling rules but if you want to learn if you want to improve your spelling yeah you have you have to understand you're probably gonna have to memorize the spelling of every word so i cannot help you there with spelling you're looking for the easy way to improve your spelling sorry prefer you have to just memorize it's one f and better you have to memorize it's t t right and let's see oh how do you pronounce exas exacerbate exas exacerbate what examples can explain it well i couldn't get the right mean well uh tikka this is a dictionary question so the best thing for you to do with these kind of questions is uh over here i go to uh oxford and you type it in and right there are always the how to pronounce pronounce it with uh british english and american english i don't know if you can hear exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate exacerbate and here's the definition so if you need me to read the dictionary for you exacerbate something to make something worse especially a disease or problem example sentences his aggressive reaction only exacerbated the situation the symptoms may be exacerbated by certain drugs so uh tikka my advice is use that oxford dictionary because that's all i'm going to use if you need me to use it for you i'm not going to learn much vocabulary in a quick time all right leila is going to challenge me here so let's get to the bottom i just checked it on camera i noticed that beside can mean can mean the opposite the opposite of what what are you talking the opposite of what okay let's go to Cambridge oh you guys are asking the dictionary questions you're not making a happy teacher beside all right next to someone or something okay that's the common one but let's go down i what do you mean i just check Cambridge there's only one meaning of the side so what are you talking about leila right here beside Cambridge one meaning next to i can't see any other meaning all right muhammad walid how to be fluent in english uh speak at six hours every day live in an english-speaking country what what answer you already know you already know these answers muhammad how are you going to be fluent well speak it every day talk to native speakers it's got to be hours every day lots and lots of listening and speaking hours upon hours and talking to native speakers if you want to be fluent but realistically nobody here needs to be fluent hello Anna Maria and zanin grace dppt a difficult names today it seems a deep long lost long lasting happiness comes from intangible things rather than things like chocolate and smartphones again we have issues to understand intangible things what's the question dpt you're making a statement here yeah uh does long lasting happiness come from chocolate oh no intangible things which would be uh like love oh so you're right oh you don't understand intangible that's a dictionary okay welcome to robin's dictionary hour where we we just go to the dictionary to all right here i go to oxford type in intangible enter what does it mean something that does not exist as physical thing uh but it's still valuable to a company uh it doesn't have to be about a company wait that's a noun here here's it as adjective we want it as adjective intangible that exists but cannot be touched difficult to describe understand or measure uh so my example was love love is not a physical the feeling of love is not a physical thing you cannot touch love so we call those things intangible just as the dictionary says indisposed to there are many meanings of that word it seems like depending on the context in the sentence i read books and there's so many new words i feel like like my english level is very high and i feel like my english level is very high like my english level is weak indisposed what do you mean many many meanings let's go to oxford i'm at oxford indisposed where's the many i see two indisposed adjective unable to do something because you are ill and indisposed to do something not willing to do it so actually there's only one meaning of indisposed tika i'm not sure why you are creating a simple word into a difficult word you're unable to do something because you feel ill or you're unable to do something for a reason you cannot give right as a dictionary says so your statement there are many meanings of that word i would disagree it seems like depending on the context i yeah we every context is important but there's only really one context we use it someone is unable to do something because they're ill or busy so if you have an example sentence from a book share it here let me know what's confusing you tika this is what i found on Cambridge compared to other persons or things those books seem very dull beside this one okay well in this case it just might mean compared as the dictionary says compared to another person or thing so what's what's the confusion so let's go back to your original so your original was using the movie all right so okay let's get that here i'm just going to copy paste this this movie is boring beside that last one all right so the problem here now i think i understand is uh the beside is still the same beside two things are two things are beside each other the next to each other so this book looks boring next to this book and that could also mean compared to this book so this book is boring next to this book beside this book when they're together a movie is not really a physical thing so we don't really have a movie in your hand and another movie in your hand a movie is intangible so a book is more tangible so i think that beside is comparing two things that are beside each other they are physically next to each other that is why this sentence doesn't work because movies cannot physically be next to each other oh so i hope that helps when exactly can i use i'm spoiled or you're spoiled hmm let's see what the dictionary says oxford spoil so there we are spoil somebody we know it's somebody because you say i am spoiled or you are spoiled you're talking about somebody so let's copy all this from the dictionary and i'll read it to you spoil somebody to give a child everything that they ask for and not enough discipline in a way that has a bad effect bad effect on their character and behavior when you give a child everything and not enough discipline discipline can mean rules and because of this it has a bad effect on their character and behavior so their examples she spoils those kids of hers my grandparents used to spoil me rotten uh people don't usually say i'm spoiled you don't really say i'm spoiled because that's a negative expression people don't say i'm i have bad character you could say you're spoiled which means you have some some bad character or behavior because probably your parents gave you too much you didn't have struggle in your life so are you talking about yourself are you spoiled your parents gave you everything you got the questions coming in my voice how's my voice all right we have dia ptt again got here the phrasal verbs push back and put off what's the difference between those two phrasal verbs all right let's go to the dictionary okay so push back uh there's two meanings you can see that in the dictionary and then put off all right so i think we're going to use this meaning of push back and put off because they're going to have similar meanings this one i think i have enough screen here let me clean up the board all right so this is actually an interesting question and i just put from the dictionary here so push back to make the time or date of a meeting later than originally planned so you have a for example i'm going to do the live stream at 10 p.m no and i push it back i change it to 11 p.m so i later i make it it's delayed i push it back their example sentence the start of the game was pushed back from 2 p.m to 4 p.m so you can push back the time which means delay the time now we also have put off another phrasal verb which is to cancel a meeting or an arrangement that you have made with someone so uh i don't like the examples but let's look at the the second one here she put him off with the excuse that she had to work too much all right so she canceled the meeting so push back is a delay and put off is cancel uh the quick answer uh layla says she can't work on that project as a matter of fact she has zero experience at that field you put failed uh yes you did use matter of fact correctly but i don't think you wanted to say failed maybe you wanted to say field okay tika you got a good question here wow uh robin more questions that's why we're here tika in one situation can we say albeit reluctantly you want to use reluctantly so we got to go check we got to go to the dictionary let's check albeit and albeit as you can see has a simple meaning although so my girlfriend asked me to marry her i agreed although reluctantly so what that would mean is she asked me to marry her i agreed but reluctantly reluctantly well what does reluctantly mean let's go to the dictionary reluctantly in a way that involves hesitation because you don't want to do it so you don't want to do something you hesitate that is reluctantly so my girlfriend let me fix my grammar asked me to marry her and i agreed although reluctantly so i could say i reluctantly agreed which means with hesitation because i don't really want to marry her but i agreed so instead of although we know we can use albeit because albeit means the same as although so my girlfriend asked me to marry her i agreed although albeit reluctantly true story this happened yesterday Mohammed Walid can you recommend some movies for an intermediate English learner to improve so Mohammed Walid it is critical that you choose a genre that you love if you love science fiction you just watch science fiction movies or tv shows if you like drama you watch that if you like comedy you watch that whatever kind of media you enjoy that is the media you should be studying so for intermediate English i think you can watch anything just enjoy it alex food can be spoiled to yeah that's another meaning of spoiled you know again the dictionary spoiled can refer to food which has gone bad that is correct alex no i'm not spoiled unice hello all right mariam has some more dictionary words i guess every every everyone has probably i should change this to the vocabulary show sorry teacher don't say sorry that's why here what is the difference between such as oops such as and namely it's so confusing well my initial thought is they are the same thing you know you have two here so such as namely for example these are all in the same family uh maybe i would use namely to emphasize more so if i use an example here let's make a sentence i love animals that's my spelling i love animals such as cats and monkeys okay and i could say i love animals namely cats and monkeys monkeys wrong here thank you google uh what's the difference so we have such as here and the same sentence with namely i think the namely is they mean the same thing you're just given examples uh the namely would just be you won't really really want to highlight that example so it's more like a specifically so such as is more as just examples but namely is specific examples so namely really really such as as a question i don't have much room for my mouse here so one won't how to pronounce these two words let's go to the dictionary one one i don't know if you can hear can you hear that when i play the last word one one let's go to british up here the ipa and won't the british won't won't can you hear those sounds when i play it won't well we can see in the ipa here the vowel sound that is being used and we could see the vowel sounds are very different now i'm not a pronunciation expert i mean i i i know english pronunciation because i speak english but teaching it the exact movement of the mouth and the tongue and the lips i'm not an expert on that but of course one uh uh uh one and we see the oh oh so this is now this is one vowel sound uh one and you see the oh that's actually two your mouth is moving twice to make the oh sound oh whoa and one and won't hope that helps albeit could we use in a casual dialogue i think some people use it in a casual dialogue albeit yeah dpt the use of present perfect continuous and present continuous in which ash uh sorry d uh ptt i made many videos on my youtube channel with ester about present perfect continuous and present continuous and this is grammar and this is grammar tenses this takes a lot of time to teach with a lot of example sentences i already made videos with ester on my channel please check those out i don't have time to ever teach grammar tenses in learning english live because i try to uh do i try to answer questions in one or two minutes and i'm sorry grammar tenses take a long time and i spent a lot of money making videos teaching that with ester so please check those out uh that's about the only thing i will ignore on my live streams or is teaching grammar tenses because that takes a lot of prep uh could we also logo use your example i love animals like cats and monkeys well leila you could you could say the similar situation similar thing uh at least 10 different ways in english there's so many different ways to say that fluent english with me my question what's the difference between lecture and speech uh well a lecture is your your current lecture is like at a university so uh again this is dictionary words the professor is lecturing the students so the the the professor is trying to teach so the professor is giving a lot of information that is a lecture a speech is just from a politician again they're giving information but there's no test a lecture probably have a test now sometimes they do mean the same thing he gave a lecture on this he gave a speech on that it could mean the same thing sometimes but uh generally speaking lecture is more like a class where they're trying to educate you on something and you might have a test later at a speech is just from a politician uh talking about whatever policy may do all words end with l y or adverb i'm gonna say immediately no not all words that end in l way l y or adverb and i'm gonna just get a quick example uh i can't find it anyway uh usually there'll be an adverb but not always not all words that n and l y are adverbs well like a word like fly that ends in l y that's not an adverb i'll give that to you guys tell us a word that's your homework right now tell us a word that ends in l y that is not an adverb alex says is the pronunciation of korea and career the same uh no you can visibly see there is an r at the end of career so maybe in british pronunciation let's see what the british say korea well in if in british pronunciation uh the word career alone will have the r sound but if it's put in a sentence they might drop that r sound i'm not british but i'm sure they're gonna drop this r sound career i don't know what they're gonna say but in american english uh korea and career uh very different all different uh pronunciations you know albeit can be used in anyway ending with l y can be adjectives family there you go well may you just answered your question happily oh yeah there you go happily good there's an adjective happy happily we apply all right everyone i'm sorry but i am going to end this live stream because uh jack's gonna do his zoo lesson in about 10 minutes and or 15 minutes if you want to
