Well Nice to see you here Layla, I'm wondering what you're gonna talk about this live stream. I'm gonna talk about Instagram If you don't use Instagram, it doesn't matter.

I Can see you and hear you I can see and hear you I can hear you I think native speaker I can hear and see you would be more common for native speakers I can hear and see you it doesn't matter, but you know, so sometimes native speakers have an order I Can hear and see you I can see and hear you it doesn't matter Okay, so Let's go over to Instagram do you guys I know Layla does uses Instagram do the rest use use Instagram? This is my Instagram You can see that there Shaw English online if you don't know now Instagram very very interesting thing about Instagram is When I build my Instagram here I Have my YouTube channel Shaw English and I have my Instagram and They're very different things like my Instagram audience and my YouTube audience are very different and I don't think they mix much so It says Shaw English online, but it's very different than My YouTube Shaw English online We'll talk about that So yeah, my Instagram has 593,000 followers that's a lot and some of you might know I Don't I don't manage my Instagram 100% I have someone that helps me a Very good guy from India who helps me out with Instagram. I do look at Instagram as much as I can especially to see You know The members here if they're commenting But I don't always see Instagram So let's take a look at the Instagram now as you know with my Instagram. There's a lot of a Lot of borrowed material from other places like I don't really have time to make a lot of material so to to To get a lot of content I have to borrow from other places So let's take a look at the English Of course when we look at something like this Now is Instagram a good place To study English Yes, and no Instagram might I Don't think it's the best way to study English because you're just using your thumb You know, it's very passive you just have to look Next picture look next picture and I don't think it's the best way it is a way it is a way But it's not the best way I'd prefer students Read and look at stuff other than Instagram, but you know, if you look at my Instagram, that's okay so when you look at Instagram and you see Things like I have on the Page here says English phrases and this is from English with nap He has a great column normal English and then he has a column native speaker And we see stuff like this normal English native speaker. This is common on Instagram native speaker usually means These are more spoken expressions So if you look at the first one there, it says I haven't seen you in ages Yeah, so a native speaker, you know, you can say normal English. There's no problem with that But you know a native speaker might be more casual. Just say long time. No see The second one there I understand you I feel you. Yeah, I feel you that's certainly more of us Spoken expression you wouldn't write that in an essay But it's certainly these expressions I'm not gonna go through all of these but yeah, if you're studying this page Certainly These are all useful. These are all what we would say I don't know beats me. That's definitely slang down there I don't have money. I'm broke slang. Yeah, don't be stupid. Don't be a jerk. So is this good to study? Yeah, I think so this would be a good thing to read and study and comment and of course Layla's there and liked it Let's look at another one how to speak British So you often see this on Instagram to American words British words comparing and I think that's good How to speak British I don't know if this is a good example of how to Speak British but if you can read English well, so if you see water and It's saying the British way, you know the British in American way. They spell it the same way But they're trying to make the sound there. So it's water and then the British way might be Sorry, I don't have a British accent. What uh, what? Night night Liar liar What what? Tuesday Tuesday Harry Potter Harry Potter Yeah, my British is terrible, but it's I think is this useful. Yeah, it's it's fun It's something fun in English getting you thinking about English. So yeah, it's it's useful Does anyone here in the comments, let me know if you like American English or British English I'm just gonna check the comments for a moment. See who's who's here Jonathan yeah, yeah uses Instagram Andre. Hello You have so many follows there. You are lucky you're there followers doesn't you know, I get no money from Instagram There's no money coming from Instagram. I just lose money Tika I didn't see the notification when you started your live stream. Well, Tika, are you hitting that bell? You better check that and Yasin teacher. I need to improve my speaking. How can I do that? I don't have friends from USA ring. Well, Yasin, you have me Join a WhatsApp group Facebook try to contact me you got to be pushy and Maybe we have more chance to talk in the future Layla we learn Something such as common phrases mistakes. Yeah, so Layla Do you like Instagram? Do you like learning from Instagram? Is it helpful for you? Your British is fine. Well, Layla You're very nice, but you're not British Layla. Maybe a British person will say oh Shut up and Mabash I follow American English. Okay easy to understand. Yeah It's easier for me to understand through I'm Canadian, but you know Canadian American very similar and I will join super student back tomorrow. Well, you know, Yasin There's there's other ways to get to me For free But yeah, if you want my full attention, you got to pay Tika I like British accent But I prefer American accent to British because I can't hide my our sounds like British. Yeah, when the British say a word like Far F. A. R Americans will say the R sound far, but British is more far It's very difficult Layla it's easier to mimic American accent Tika did the bell is always on maybe because I'm watching a drama which drama Jonathan I prefer the American accent. Oh, we got a lot of people Prefer the American accent And Layla I learned from Instagram lots of things Robin. Yeah, Layla. I think you're in a lot of Instagram accounts Let's move on here Here's another one Quick English fluency and showing this like online. This is a good one. I like this one here the first picture we see throne throne is a Noun that is where the king sits or the queen Sits the big chair a throne and then the second one Past tense of Throw is also thrown. So yeah, you should be familiar with thrown as a noun and then the past for past tense of the verb Throne throne throne. So that's that's a good one that I liked I like The 60 minutes English learning routine. I'm not gonna go through that Vocabulary like this is very useful to now the problem when you're reading You're reading on Instagram is you can't hear it. You can't hear it. You can't practice speaking it So it can be difficult. So right now if you looked at the top one up here You can see this now a lot of people might not know how to pronounce that but I'll go through that right now Thy that's your thigh. That's your knee. That's your shin ankle toe soul heel calf Do you need to know all of these parts? Yes, you need to know this is these are all common. These are body parts Thigh knee shin shin the front of the leg calf the back of the leg ankle toe Soul heel, you got to know it all you got to know it all but again With Instagram you don't get that pronunciation So but good to know good to know see those words Yeah, we're not gonna look at that I'm gonna skip that one Some of the some of them I don't like Something like this another vocabulary stairs escalator steps railing ladder. So you might know ladder stairs escalator Steps, but yeah, this would be a good one to learn railing the railing beside the stairs beside the The steps you might have a railing And this is pronunciation when they're giving Pronunciation so something like this at the hair salon. So yeah, they don't want you to say saloon Because saloon is an old Old old American bar like a hundred two hundred years ago a saloon is a bar but certainly the this is teaching you how to say salon salon and Down here. It's pretty good. It says salon salon salon, and I'm just gonna catch up with the With the comments Well back sure, please make American phonics lessons teacher. This is really great teacher Yes, Esther is a great teacher, but she's not here right now American accent is clearer to understand Andre some British accent sound beautiful for my ears like French Andre, how does my accent sound noisy? Hello Michelle And nerd tell ill hello Aruna adieu. Hello. Welcome. Welcome new members. We're just going through Instagram learning This is another one Davor divorce no divorce Well, it could be divorce or it could be divorce depending on the area But divorce is better than divorce or something And of course, this is from Korea. This is where I am And Wherever you are in the world, I think your culture will have its own pronunciation of this But in Korea we called Samsung. Okay, I'm gonna move on away from this one Okay, and we have this normal English better English I don't like the term better English. I just Let's say advanced English Advanced doesn't mean better So no normal English. I'm very happy, but you're gonna learn the expression. I'm over the moon, which would be an idiom I'm over the moon So, you know a lot of students want to use idioms want to learn idioms great great I don't think idioms are that important, but if you want to learn good idioms, this is a good idiom I'm over the moon. I'm over the moon from daily vocabulary Normal English have a nice day better English have a cheerful day sounds good Normal English is raining outside better English. It's pouring outside So it's raining a lot outside. We would say it's pouring very common word today in Korea It was pouring outside pouring So I'm okay. Thank you always teach important things. Thank you for always teaching Important things Sometimes I try to imitate British accent, but I fail Do Korean people use Instagram as much as other people? Yes, Instagram is everywhere Uh, normal English. I don't normal English. I don't care better English. See if I care Yeah, see if I care. This would be a very advanced Only spoken expression see if I care and you gotta you gotta put that attitude See if I care see if I care Normal English I am confused and better English Well, let's see what the comments I'm confused I am puzzled. Laila put I am puzzled and that is great So I am confused. I'm puzzled Again, we wouldn't really say I am confused. We would say more with a contraction. I'm I'm confused I'm puzzled. Good job Laila She smiled to me. Okay. This is focusing on our our prepositions. I'm forgetting English Yeah prepositions a good way Instagram help you out with prepositions. So she smiled to me That's not how we would use that. She smiled at me. So, uh Have you ever been in India? Have you ever been to India? So these are good just to practice up prepositions. I look forward to meet you I look forward to meeting you Yeah, this is a good one to learn never say I look forward to meet you. It's always Always I look forward to meeting you or I look forward to seeing you Or I look forward to hugging you. I look forward to kissing you Uh, let's see Your accent also has its advantage. It sounds very clear. Oh, thank you, Andre Clear clear clear Well, I don't use a lot of idioms or slang. I use uh Teacher talk, I guess I Laila, which is the most countries follow your Instagram account probably India For youtube and instagram You know India is just So big, right? Um So many indians India India There's memes like this Tika, let's do a game after some I missed them moment When we used to guess the hints you gave us it was ages ago. Yeah, I might do a game in the future tika Maybe Next month not this month. Maybe next month tika. I like the games too, but Not everyone likes the games because the games the problem with the games is everyone is Has a different delay So people in korea have no delay. They can answer Immediately, but in people in india might have a 20 second delay So a lot of the games are not fair. So it's hard to play those games Or give a prize Mubasher or show english online has british phonics lessons, but you can also create american phonics lessons Please think about a teacher as to her teacher lin have to teach american phonics I do have uh phonics lessons American phonics lessons, uh, what kind of phonics are you looking for a phonics or pronunciation phonics is like the very basics Or do you want words pronunciation of words and sentences mubasher Layla some information. I only got it. Well from instagram. You had a bad experience. You were in your belly Yeah india is our neighboring country. It has a huge population. Well also, uh, pakistan and bangladesh. I get a lot of students on youtube and instagram india pakistan bangladesh Those number four would be indonesia So many people so many students Games games are good for developing our iq. Yes speaking of iq. Look at this picture here nerd And it says a person who is intellectual intellectual using their mind has an obsessive interest in something and a nerd is someone who likes to study Is a nerd a positive or negative word? Usually it is a negative word when you call someone a nerd that means they study too much And they're social They're not very good socially. They're not very good interacting with other people. They just like to study. They're very smart You know to to the to his mother She's very happy if he's smart and just studies but to other people Uh, we might call him a nerd which is kind of negative So, I don't know. I'm not a nerd. I don't think I'm a nerd Are you a nerd? For example, there are five of us. I learned the correct way to say it from instagram. Good. Good leila He's a cold fish Another kind of idiom a person lacking emotion heartless individual. Of course, this is negative. He's a cold fish a chatterbox Yeah, someone who likes to talk a person who likes who talks a lot an excessively talkative person I am not a chatterbox. I have to be on the live stream but If you meet me in real life not on the internet Uh, I'm a very quiet person like that. So these are good expressions I think uh, if you look at the stuff like this every day You're gonna learn Again, we have one of these normal natives again. The native is more of the spoken language For example, I'm listening to you. They have an idiom here. I'm all ears I'm all ears, which would mean I'm listening to you. I don't understand it. I don't get it. Don't be stupid. Don't be jerk. I'm very hungry I'm starving. I don't know we see these Okay Again, we have a common expression. I'll keep it a secret and then we have What's your friend your american friend is going to say to you my lips Are sealed my lips are sealed Layla, I'm not a chatterbox. I think I am a nerd, uh with english. Yeah, possibly Layla Hello, sir. My name is palavi. I'm from india. There we go Locom from india How's india doing I'm a basher a long time ago. Bangladesh, pakistan in india was one country Yes, and then There was india and then pakistan and then Or something then pakistan bangladesh became separate And layla, I'm all ears. I'm all ears in my language. We have the same medium So that would be easy for you. I'm all ears All right, and on instagram you might see actual grammar and I don't I don't really you know, this is a good quick way to understand All the english tenses This is not going to help you master the tenses, but certainly if you Look at stuff like this. It's good to refresh your mind But this no one's learning grammar from instagram like this, but it's can be helpful And here's basic english on instagram All right guys, what I want you to do is recommend another instagram page That you would like So if you can if it's possible get the link and Put the link In the chat does my chat allow links? I hope my chat allows links if you can put a link to another Instagram Layla honestly, I prefer learning grammar from youtube Oh, yeah, I saw this one on the instagram popular slang words in 2021 A real one Okay, I know this a loyal friend or a really good person. My best friend is a real one I understand that slang flex To show off something to be an extrovert stop flexing about your money, you know showing off About your money. I know this one capping if someone is lying there capping can't you just stop capping I never I never heard this before so this must be i'm old and this is slang is usually for young people Sus I kind of heard this a short version of the word suspicious I think this sounds really sus Uh, I don't use that But that is certainly new to me whip I never heard this slang word for a nice and fancy car. I just got a new whip Never heard that Savage yes, I I've heard this one someone or something that is really great. Jenny is a savage at chest. Yeah, they're really great at chest I know that one Okay Pick up collect. Well, there's a phrasal verb pick up which can mean collect And stuff like this peel peel and orange squeeze Peel squeeze Pour these are all good verbs roll if you're cooking whisk I didn't know that one whisk I'm learning from my own instagram chop Chopping with the knife. You got to know that chop great your cheese Great Oh, you know, but make sure you're great great and great Same sound but different spelling different meaning Slice the bread. So yeah, this is all good Felt lots of counts, but I don't know how to share the link here in the chat room Yeah, I don't know how to share the link either if you can anyone Uh, let's see Uh, we say I'm whole in attention. Andre. I'm whole in attention. That's for I'm only years Well basher, please create a facebook group where we can post think about it. I do have a facebook group Uh, learning lish with robinshaw Uh, you can you can find that on the instagram if you go to my link tree Uh facebook there you go in the instagram link tree Uh-oh How do I get out of here? Oh, it's another You can get to my facebook group Yeah, so many so many things and what I'm usually doing on Most of my time is Uh getting rid of uh spam So when I when I go through When I go through the comments, there's always a lot of spam I gotta delete I spend most of my time deleting spam not commenting with other people All right, let's see what your comments are Tika in my opinion, it's harder to get a native english speaker if you're looking for learning english yet It's easier to get people who are advanced native if we're not looking for english interesting Well, if you're looking for a native speaker, you know on whatsapp I get messages every day from strangers Uh You know Students all around the world. They'll send me a message on whatsapp or facebook And they say robin You Can you help me you need to help me robin? Please improve my english Robin I need your help And I I don't answer them because first of all, I don't know them Uh So I really don't want to if I don't know the person I don't want to help them I want to help people I know I want to help my friends So all these people contacting me asking for help I don't You know, so if you contact a teacher don't your first sentence shouldn't be help me for free No, your first sentence should be hi I'm Your name and what what you're doing and what you're about Get me interested in you introduce yourself And then I would talk to you but a lot of a lot of people just hey help me you're a teacher You must help me right now. I don't talk to those people So tika if you went out looking for a teacher and you were doing stuff like that Teachers probably would avoid you But yeah, if you're just looking for, uh Friends You're probably not going to say to that friend. Hey, you should help me No, you're just going to talk to them like a normal person If you talk to a teacher like a normal person, they they might be more willing to help you And you're to to from Ethiopia. Wow, great from Ethiopia. How's Ethiopia doing? So damn as I'm chima. Hello. Nice to see you again We need more verbs like this we can understand easily with picture now as I said instagram It's not the best way to study It's it's a good filler So, you know, you're studying hard and you're studying hard and if you have a break time you can just look through instagram That's break time study not real study I feel checking instagram accounts takes lots of time. Sometimes I forget myself there Yeah, uh, don't spend too much time on instagram leila Also, I learned something about drawing from instagram.
