Welcome to speed learning English your podcast for smarter and more professional English heritage at has been how you I'm fine how are you and sign in and start let's get it started. After a very good friend Tony. He lives in England, and the only phrase he knows and reminisced gives a broader also DeBono first knocked on bluff directors item whatever I phone him and I phone them twice per year when his good birthday and when he when we talk at Christmas. He always welcomes me with this phrase he knows exactly how to describe somebody how to get to the station. If the station is close, but this is probably not a sign of good German. The most impressive and saw him to the question of can you tell me the way to the supermarket in English and waltzed when I was in Mannheim at the station and there was a young man from Pakistan who asked one of the officials who worked for the Deutsche bond. It's there waltzed a supermarket nearby because he wanted to buy something and the answer was, can you IAD by IDU can become everything than you. This phrase has for the folds friends that German and English, Hessen, what do you think there's then stranded a lot of false friends one sentence. So let's start with force friends just before we go to come to directions because a lot of people say can and they mean that save English but can I can. You can does not mean Canon, Canon means to know can means: so can you help me doesn't mean Canon the Amanda may have forgotten, but it means: the Madison so can you IAD ideas most important supermarket for a lot of people here and we know where this lady was getting her food from her shopping items in your by IAD by well how would you translate by his eyeballs are for example German by Constanza stick figures by the English by the German bias at for example test and belittled down by the river. For example, normally English words you can translate them directly into German into German sentence, but you would Germany would say one or even also the… The German by which is in English it. You can also use it interchangeably depends on the situation and what you want to say really okay so do you have some examples whereby means at and by means close to, or by means something else Deutsche strike, directed by James Cameron. Yet that's that's that's that's that's a good example for example, if you are summarizing a text and then you say you use a title you know what what James Cameron Clement the Titanic of the Titanic, I wanted was looking for the Titanic. Titanic directed by Cameron if you if you if it would have been a book, the author and then written by so that send and then you can say also by the supermarket that send Izzy form in the first case and the now in the second case by the German by a character. Can you just give me a few examples about how would you use the phrase by life paths by we meet by the sea or on goodbye nets by some bicycle so good by his mother by written each of the saw. As I mentioned firstly is buying out by an author. That's one way to use it. This donation was was made possible by by Attila Bill and Melinda Gates so and it's first German form and dissected in the second example is Jewish and then he has these generally are good examples would buy in this this example is maybe because it has in the German language has four definitions of four ways you could use it so it's quite difficult to tease one English word that has so many meanings in the German language some stairs difficulty and asked where this force friends actually arises from from the different ways you could use that single word with just to let us in the also makes makes it clear that it doesn't make any sense to just learn words like on a vocabulary list to engage lender by heart. You just you always have to learn the context and understand how it feels. Sometimes you and you say, a phrase, and you feel that something is wrong and that frightened you don't know really what it is. So once you got this feeling for program hour for those small birds in the language beyond the right way. By the way right way. So if somebody asked you for directions. I mean we have left and right and straight ahead, and straight on and passed by both by the must see him cross the road across the street take the next round about, but how would you ask somebody in the street for direction to do it anyway or do you always use your smart phone to have an education generally. Nowadays I use my smart phone. I think it's it helps a lot of people who are very, not very, but who are introverts so they don't like to speak to people, date of note, but if you happen if you are in the situation where you really need to ask somebody for the Erickson. I would almost always starts the sentence with excuse me because you have to be polite. You have to understand that situation you want something from somebody you don't know. So the foot with the best way in order to get the result that you want that the correct direction is to appear polite or be politically right so sorry ass excuse me, how do I get to, for example, the railway station u want to go to railway station and or if you want to go to the nearest post office and you can also asked where is the nearest post office please I always understand that excuse me at the beginning and please the end want to be polite so excuse me, how do I get to the railway station place. Excuse me. Where's the nearest post office please that's how you would start instructions sentence okay so in our online course we the only cause of the speed learning Academy report training English for Germans. We have one part where we talk about directors as well and one exercise. We have a lot of exercises in this course to train the practical use of the language we tell people go out in the street and ask for directions to replicate situations where you can ask for directions even if you live in Germany you have to train and we assume that that 50% of the people that you meet in everyday life are able to speak English with you. The younger, better, or if it bit exit for the business person then it's very likely that this person can respond in English. So then ask for directions by. Excuse me. Where can I find a supermarket. For example, and once this person has moved around the corner going to get the next person and ask the next question, excuse me how to get to the supermarket. Even if you know what the supermarket is just to avoid your shyness or just to train talking to people. The idea is to provoke a situations in which you ask people and to listen how they describe the way. Even if you know the way but just to train conversation in English with other people and whenever you are in a foreign country. I also recommend people to really ask people in the street instead of using their smart phones to get the navigation system, and interesting. Really what happens is people people. When I do this. People always ask me, do you have a smart phone. I can show you how you can find a way newly restaurant for its incredible young people take up the smart father at even if it's 400 m and I know exactly where this I know the supermarket is 400 m straightahead and they take their smart phones because they really don't know how to describe it. This segment is also human nature to be. We tend to take the option where we are and where we are in our comfort zone and always say that the brain is synonymously. But we have to think about the rightness muscle. If you often times, train it in your muscle get bigger son in the sense sense of the brain. If you get out of your comfort zone and approaches method that smell, just use your brain will get attentive to it and it will stimulated and you will will will will you English for giving direction would be better. That's right. And also understanding somebody who speaks English because talking to people in the street also means that they have different accents or different dialects are different ways of pronunciation to sue because you you get in different situations can give different answers because the questions are different. Give different asked defendant questions because the answers are different or somebody does something very unexpected say yes and another another possibility to to support the learning process is to have the smart phone using the recording motors to recorder memo language a voicemail for example, and then asking for directions and will you record the answer of the other person and you just use this information to work on it in the pot in the future to write it down into to have your conversational script fixed completely just by using your recording function of the recording function of your smart phone to record the arms of the person to okay so Richard, thank you very much next summer.
