ENGLISH TALKS for beginners

Luke Likes 'Maniac'

It's summer time. It is summer at last. Well, not at last, but it's the middle of July right now. The middle of, the middle of July. So it must be summer, it must be summer time, at least in this part of the world, in this part of the world, of course.

And here is a question: What is summer best for? What is summer best for? Is it best for holidays? Yeah, sure it is, but not that. Is it best because you have a lot of rest? Yeah, a little bit, yeah, but not that. Oh, I know, I know. It is best because you get plenty of sun. Yeah, we do like the sun, but no, it's not that.

It is best because you get to do, so you have a chance to do. you get to do whatever you like, whatever you like. This is at least how I see it, so this is my opinion, I think so. I see it this way. And to be honest, I see it every year with me. And I ask myself, what do I like?

And I like languages. You just must know it by now. But what I noticed, so I saw it, I noticed, is that somewhere around summertime, every year, I get this new energy to listen, read, talk, and explore so that I can't get enough of that, I cannot get enough. Oh, I love this feeling.

Especially when I get to explore something new. And surprise, surprise, not a surprise for me, this happens regularly, I must say. So here is what happened actually.

So the other day, the other day, which in English means not long time ago, a few days ago, so the other day, I was talking to one of my students and her family lives in Portugal. And very often, actually, we were wondering, 'Hmm, how do you say this in Portuguese?' Or 'Hmm, what is this in Portuguese?' 'How do you say that in Portuguese?'

I think you know what happened next. Aha, Portuguese happened. Now I want to know everything about it. To read, to listen, to understand, to be able to say a few words, a few sentences. To know 'What is this in Portuguese?', 'What is that in Portuguese?'

And the fact that we can do that together makes it so much fun and much, much easier. So we use some materials, apps and obviously podcasts, which is an amazing help. So we focus, focus on listening and, well, trying to figure out, which means to understand, try and understand, to figure out what it really means and how it really works.

Yeah. And you know what? I have no idea where this is going. I have no idea. And people often keep asking me, so ask me a lot, a lot, keep asking me, in general about languages, but for example, Portuguese, 'Hey, Luke, you're learning Portuguese, right? Why are you doing that? Do you want to go there?' Hmm, maybe. But I'm not planning to. 'Maybe you want to work there?' Hmm, not really. I'm not thinking of that at the moment. 'So why on earth would you do that? Why on earth would you learn it?'

And I don't really know what to say and how to react because the answer is so obvious to me. The goal is not to go there or to work there or even to be able to speak fluently, fluently, so speak very well. I realized, I realized that the goal is something different.

Learning and exploring. That is the goal. That is the goal. And why? For one thing, it makes me happy, but it is also because I'm obsessed. And I'm a maniac. And I love it.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Want It'

So, do I want, do I want to do it? Do I want it? Do I want to do it or do I like doing it, doing it? Want to. Like. Hmm, good question, a good question. Let's have a go.

So, I want to, I want to, I want to, oh I know, I want to get some sun today, I want to get some sun. And I am trying to, I am trying to get some sun, I am trying to spend some time outside, I am trying to, to, I am trying to spend some time outside. But I have to, I need to, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to work, I have to work,

So, I want to get some sun, I am trying to spend some time outside, but I have to, or I need to, I need to work.

Alright, are you with me? Are you with me? I hope you are.

And now, I decided, I decided to, I decided to take a break, I decided to take a break. Because I would like to, I'd like to, I would like to, well, eat something, have something to eat. And I hope to, I hope to do it by the end of my break, yeah, I hope to.

So, I decided to take a break, because I would like to have something to eat, and I hope to do it before the end of the break.

And now, it is not easy, it's not easy to rest, it's not easy to, it's not easy to rest, you know, because of the dog, the dog. I asked him to, I asked him to, I asked him to be quiet, be quiet, I asked him to be quiet and I told him, I told him to, well, I told him to try and understand me. I'm not really sure if that worked. And finally, I get the impression, I get the impression that my life used to be, used to be easier, used to, used to be easier.

So, it's not easy to work, it's not easy to work, and I asked my dog to be quiet, and I told him to, told him to understand me just a little, and my life used to, used to be easier, much easier.

So, are you with me on that? Are you following, are you following what I am trying to, trying to say here? Because I'm doing all of that, all of that to help you, to help you understand, understand.

So, just to recap, so say all again, to recap:

• I want to get some sun,
• and I'm trying to stay outside,
• but I have to work.
• And then, I decided to take a break,
• because I would like to have something to eat,
• and I hope to finish before the end of the break.
• And it's not easy, not easy to do, because of the dog.
• I asked him to be quiet,
• and I told him to understand me. I don't know if it worked.
• And now I think, yeah, life used to, used to be easier.

Yeah, so that's all I had to say. That's all I had to say about that. But to be continued.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Need A Doctor'

Yeah, yeah, I need a doctor. It is what it is.

First symptoms

I am not feeling well. I am not. I need to see a doctor. I think I'm coming down with something. I think I'm coming down with something. So I'm starting to feel sick. Do you have any painkillers? I should take some painkillers. I should take some medication. Yeah, and I should call in sick, call in sick, to phone and say that I'm not coming to work today. I am off sick today. I need a sick note from a doctor. I need a sick note. I hope you'll get better soon. I hope. Get well, get well soon. Yeah, that's what we're hoping for.

Doctor's appointment.

Yeah, I would like to see a doctor. I would like to make an appointment. So I would like to book a time to see a doctor. Make an appointment. Is it an emergency? Is it an emergency situation? Is it urgent? Is it urgent? So do you need to do something quickly? Is it urgent? And do you have medical insurance? You need to feel out, feel out this form please. So take a seat and the doctor will see you in a moment.

Yeah, at least I hope so. Alright, the doctor is ready to see you.

Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt? And what happened? What happened? Are you getting worse? Are you getting better? We need to run some tests. We need to run some tests. I'll write you a prescription. I will write you a prescription. Please take these two times a day. Take these two times a day. Don't lift heavy things and stay at home. And please come for a check up. Check up.

That went super easy. Thank you, doctor.

Luke Likes 'Injured'

It is a good day today, it is sunny, it's a really beautiful weather, and even better was yesterday. A great day, a great day for sports, outdoors. I love it, very, very hot, but still, that's just perfect weather for me to do sports outside.

And so I did, so I did. And what happened? Well, an injury happened, injury. Do you know what it is? An injury, get injured. It happens when you do something to your body, by accident usually, when you fall down, for example, or you make a sudden, a quick, sudden movement. And that's what happened to me.

But let me tell you all about it from the beginning, from the beginning. So, I couldn't wait for the great weather to come, and so it did yesterday, and well, I was so excited to play tennis, to play tennis, but at the same time, I felt that my arm, my right arm, wasn't feeling very well. I didn't know what it was, but something was wrong with it, something was wrong.

I was not injured at the time, but I was not one hundred percent, I can say, I was not, but still, so excited that nothing could stop me, nothing. And now I'm injured. Yeah, I felt it just after I finished playing. It was a pain in my elbow, and it was getting worse and worse, so that at night, I actually woke up at night, and had to move it a little bit, move my arm a little, because it hurt so much.

And the next day, I felt that it is really bad, it is really bad. If you look at it, you can't say that something is wrong with it, but when I want to lift things, so lift, pick up heavy objects, for example, when I want to lift something, I cannot do that. And even the smallest things.

So that's an elbow injury, I suppose, and it's definitely, definitely, because of playing too much with my right hand, that's how I do that. I'm hoping for the best, but I'm also worried that I will need some treatment, treatment, and rehab after that.

But for now, for now, this is just pain killers, that's how I start, and hmm, well, googling a lot, googling elbows and arms, connected to tennis. And surprise, surprise! It's a very common thing, it's very common, common, that means very popular, and it happens quite often when you play tennis.

So I'm trying to manage the pain with painkillers, and we'll wait, but then, if that doesn't work, I might need to see a doctor, and probably they will run some tests, which is okay, I'm fine with that. But, well, the worst thing, the worst thing that can happen is that I will not be able to play, I will need to pause, I will need to have a break from sports and tennis, especially. I hate that, I hate that, I really don't want to do that,

So I'm really hoping that my arm will heal nicely. When I say heal, it means that it will get better, heal. I must say that when I was a little younger, it used, it used to heal quite fast and nicely. Now it takes a little more time.

I don't get injured that much, so I think it's quite normal, it happens. It's one of those things, one of those things that happen from time to time. So the plan is that I will wait and see, I will wait and see.

If nothing happens, if nothing happens, well, I might start learning to play with my left hand, why not. Left-handed player, a lefty. They are very cool, by the way. I wanna be cool.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Sophisticated'

Hey, it's Sunday today, it is Sunday again, welcome Sunday, and still windy, still windy. I can't catch a break, I can't, it is just non-stop, non-stop. Also for some reason it is a little difficult to focus today. No idea why. Maybe because of the wind, because of the wind.

So it is hard to focus and that's just too bad, too bad because I do want to be sophisticated and complex today. Maybe not be, but just sound like that, sound. So, complicated, to make complicated sentences, to have complicated ideas, to sound sophisticated. And I love this word 'sophisticated'. I know a lot about a lot of interesting, important things. I'm sophisticated.

So let's not be simple, let's be complex and sophisticated, But how, how? Easy. That's an easy way, that's an easy way. It will make you sound sophisticated. Quite simple. That's an easy way WHICH makes you sound sophisticated. Much better, much much much more complex and sophisticated. Yeah, we can go on and on like that,

At least I will try, because still not very focused, I'm not very focused today, WHICH is not very easy. Which, which is, which is not very easy. Okay so far so good. Now, I have a friend, I have a friend. She is very sophisticated. So, I have a friend WHO is very sophisticated. And she talks a lot. I have a friend WHO talks a lot. So this time, who, who talks a lot, who. Yeah, sounds very sophisticated, very.

Okay, so today is Sunday, today is Sunday. I am very active on this day, usually. So, Sunday is the day WHEN I am very active, Sunday is the day when I am very active. Maybe not that very active, just active, let's leave it at that, active,

And I usually have a family dinner, I usually have a family dinner. It is usually around 3pm. Early dinner, very early dinner. So, I have a family dinner, WHICH starts usually at around 3pm on a Sunday, on a Sunday. Does it sound sophisticated enough to you? Does it sound sophisticated? I am sure it does. Yeah, right.

Okay, and... Oh I am looking outside, still windy. By the way, this wind is blowing from the west, from the west. So, that is the wind WHICH is blowing from the west. Oh, this wind and the weather, I am talking about it all the time, it seems, all the time. So, this wind is something THAT, that I am talking about all the time. This wind is something that I am talking about all the time. Well, not that easy, not that easy. Very sophisticated.

So I am looking outside, I am looking outside and I just remembered I need to water my plants. I do that once a week, once a week, usually. They are the plants (THAT) I water once a week. They are the plants I water once a week. I am a sophisticated gardener,

Yeah, they do need watering, especially the young ones, the young ones. I actually bought some of them, some of them last week, last week. So, they are the plants WHICH I bought last week.

I really hope they are going to be fine in this wind, I would be very very upset about that. So this is something (THAT) I would be very upset ABOUT. This is something that I would be very upset about.

So be sophisticated, put your ideas together like that, WHICH is useful and actually not that hard, not that hard, to sound sophisticated.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Off Day'

It's Sunday today, it's Sunday, it's beautiful, it's beautiful, but this wind, oh god, it is very, very windy. I don't know why, I have no idea. Well, how should I know? How should I know? So, what I do know, what I do know is that first, my plants don't like that, don't like that at all. And second, no tennis and no basketball outdoors today either. Life.

Either way, either way, so anyway, either way, either way, I'm having a pretty good day, a pretty good day. It's summer and Sunday after all, after all, so I should not complain about anything, but sometimes everything should be fine, but for some reason, reason, for some reason, you don't feel all that well, all that well.

Do you know this feeling? Do you know? Unfortunately, I do too, I do too. And I'm wondering, am I sick of something? Or what is wrong? What is the matter? What is wrong? Nothing hurts, nothing hurts. I don't get any symptoms, at least, I can't see any. But still, still, I'm having an off day. Do you know what an off day is? Well, exactly that, exactly that.

It's not the best day for you. You are feeling a little down, maybe tired. You try one thing or another thing and you can't get any satisfaction. That is an off day. That's how I see it, that's how I see it.

So, physically, you are alright, but mentally, mentally, so in your head, so to speak, mentally, you are not feeling okay, you are not feeling okay. What do you do then? What do you do? That's a good question.

Medicine, take the meds. No, no, no, that's not what I recommend. Probably, probably, the answer is a little different for everybody. So, for me, that could definitely, definitely be doing sports, doing sports, especially outside, outdoors. Well, not today and damn it. That's okay, not that bad.

So, when I do sports, I get really, really tired, but at the same time, at the same time, I can free my head of any problems I might have at the moment. And that's how I cope, I cope, so I manage on an off day, on an off day.

Actually, I used to think that I love sports and I love to be active, but now, I'm sure that this is a coping strategy, a coping strategy that helps me more mentally, mentally than physically.

That's incredible, really, and it's funny how it works. I'm sure this is not just me. My whole family, my whole family seems to function like that, and they are very, very like me, or I'm very like them. We cope in the same way, do sport. Not to keep fit, keep fit, but to feel better, feel better, on an off day especially, and I'm sure that other people do that too.

One of my students, a very busy man, a businessman, a businessman, so a lot of things on his mind, which means a lot of problems, a lot of worries to think about. So he just started, started going to the gym regularly, regularly, regularly, and I saw him the day after that, and he was in such a pain, in such a pain, he could hardly walk because his muscles were so sore, painful, sore muscles.

So I smiled and asked him, oh wow, you must feel horrible, you must feel horrible. So that's it for you, right? Are you kidding? Are you kidding?, he said. Can hardly walk, but never felt better, never felt better.

And this is exactly what I mean. On an off day, just turn it on, turn it on. That's my medicine.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Surgery'

Well, this is windy today. Oh my goodness. I thought I could play some basketball outside, outdoors, outside. But no, no, that's not going to happen. It is a little cold, sure, but also this is so annoying, annoying when you do that in the wind. So no, I'm not going to do that to myself today, maybe tomorrow.

Anyway, anyway, I'm here, recording, recording, and I found out, I found out, well, nothing good, actually, nothing good. My friend is going to have a surgery, surgery.

So in other words, in other words, she is going to go to a hospital and doctors are going to put her on the table, open her body and fix, fix her hip. Because this is a hip surgery.

Do you know what a hip is? Hip, hip, hip, like hip hop. No, nothing to do with music this time. Nothing to do, nothing to do with music. This is the top of your leg, of your leg that connects to your waist. Yeah, this is as close as I can explain that. So we all have two hips, the left one and the right one.

And the problem with her hip, the problem with her hip started quite a long time ago, I can remember that. So we can say she has a lot of issues, issues, so problems, issues with her hip. And first she felt uncomfortable, just uncomfortable, but then it became worse and worse so that she couldn't sleep at night. And that's a real issue when that happens.

So what do you do? Well, first of all, you take painkillers, painkillers to kill the pain, to manage the pain. And this is what she did, what she tried. A lot actually, a lot. Didn't help much, didn't help much.

So what else can you do? You can look for help. So she made a lot of appointments with a lot of doctors. She had a lot of tests on her hip and on her leg. Because it turns out, it turns out it is all connected. It's not a surprise actually that one issue is connected with another one. It's all connected.

She also tried physiotherapy, physiotherapy, so treatment on your body from a physio, from a physio, like massage and special exercises. Didn't help, didn't help unfortunately. So finally, finally after all this time, she is sure she has to have a hip surgery. There is no other way. Yeah, that's what we can say here. No other way than a surgery.

So she set the date, set the date and it will obviously take place at a hospital. It will not take a lot of time actually, around one, two hours maybe. Well, I'm not sure about that. But the day after that, after the surgery, she will have to start recovery, recovery, recovery time.

So she will have to get back to normal, get back to normal. She will stay at a hospital for a few days and then another stage, so another step, another stage will start, the rehab, rehab stage. So it means she will try and move, move her leg a lot and after a few weeks, come back to her regular activities, regular, everyday life.

Which is optimistic actually, because now she might be worried and she is, she tells me, she is in a lot of pain, in a lot of pain and she cannot live like that anymore.

But after that time of surgery, recovery and rehab, she will start a new, a new, a new life and this is very uplifting, uplifting.

So she must remember that, the good days are coming.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Something You'

Something you have, something you do, something you eat, something you get, something you give, something you are, something you... a lot of things, that's a lot of things. Let's play.

So it is something you are, it is something you are when you are not feeling very well, and it is something a doctor can help you with. Do you know?

Yeah, you are sick or ill, sick ill, or you have an illness or sickness. Alright, let's move on.

It is something a doctor does, so not you this time. It is something a doctor does to help you, and it is something that a doctor does to find out what is wrong with you, medically, wrong medically, not mentally?

Do you know? Yeah, examine, doctor examines you, examines.

Alright. This time it is something you have, it is something you have to get treatment, so to get help from a doctor or a hospital, and it is something you pay for, it is something you pay for regularly. Yeah, sorry.

Do you know? Yeah, this is your medical insurance, medical insurance.

Alright, and now, it is something you really want, it is something you really want when you are not healthy, and it is something you hopefully, hopefully, finally do when you get better, you get better after an illness.

Do you know? Yeah, you recover after an illness. Yes you do, yes you do.

Alright, time for the next one. It is something you feel, and it is something you feel when something is not right with your body, and it is something you should talk about when you have an appointment with a doctor.

Do you know? Yeah, they are your symptoms, your symptoms.

I'm sorry, I'm getting sicker and sicker over here. Stay with me, stay with me.

So this is something you can show to a chemist, chemist or pharmacist. It is something that sometimes, sometimes is on prescription, prescription from a doctor, and finally it is something that can have a long list, a long list of side effects, we don't want them, but yeah, they do, they do have long lists of side effects.

Do you know? Yeah, it's medicine, medicine or meds. Not a big fan of those.

Okay, a few more to go, a few more to go. It is something you feel, it is something you feel sort of in your head, and it is something you feel in your head sometimes when you feel weak and you want to sit down for a second.

Do you know? Yeah, that's dizzy, dizzy, you feel dizzy. Funny word, funny English word, dizzy.

Alright, so it is something you get, it is something you get when you are allergic, allergic, and it is something you get in case of, in case of emergency. Very serious, very serious situation.

Do you know? Yeah, it's an injection, injection or a shot, shot also good. I mean not good, you know what I mean.

Alright, here comes the last one, the last one. It is something you feel and it is something you feel and you really, really want to do something about that really, really, really bad. So it is something you feel, you want to do something about it and you want to scratch it, scratch it, scratch this because if you don't you feel like you're going to explode.

Do you know? Yeah, it's itchy, itchy.

It is something you have, it is something you do, it is something you are, it is something you feel...

Yeah, and it is something you listen to, my podcast.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Painless'

Painless, without pain. Who doesn't want that? I do, I do, I do, yes please. Yeah, that would be nice, that would be nice, definitely ff we could live without pain. Maybe one day, but for now there are treatments, so there are some ways to get better, treatments. And thank God, thank God.

So let's take a cold, for example. If you catch a cold you can always find some treatments. Well, first thing, first thing you should do is stay in bed, stay in bed, and get plenty of rest. That's for sure. And besides that, drink plenty of fluids, fluids, yeah. Well, I do sound like a professional medical help. I am not, definitely I am not. But that is what I would do. Seems reasonable, reasonable.

And in case of fever, if you run a fever, so you have a high body temperature, maybe take an aspirin. And for runny nose, runny nose, don't forget about the tissues, tissues. That's all you can do here. But overall, not that serious, not that serious.

Not as serious as injuring your leg, for example. Injuring your leg might be a little more tricky, tricky to treat. So first of all, if there is a swelling, I would put some ice on it, put some ice, Ice, ice, ice pack on it to keep it cool, keep it cool. Yeah, that would definitely help the swelling. You could also try and rub in some ointment, ointment. And it's definitely good to avoid, avoid exercise if you injure your leg.

But if that doesn't help, well, it's time to see a doctor and run some tests. Probably you should have an x-ray, x-ray, and then see what's next, what's next. And then it gets really serious. Well, it might, it might, it doesn't have to, obviously. Hope, let's hope for the best, let's hope for the best. Let's hope it is not broken, it is not broken. And let's hope you don't have to put it in a cast, in a plaster cast.

Yeah, and what if you feel exhausted, very, very tired. All the time, that seems like a complex issue, complex, so complicated problem, difficult problem. Well, obviously you need plenty of rest and plenty of good sleep, good quality sleep. Not that easy for me, actually. Perhaps, perhaps, so maybe, perhaps it's the diet. So you should follow a specific diet. You should definitely not forget about regular exercise. And if that doesn't help, maybe run some tests. And see a specialist, see a specialist, and that's the way to go.

And finally, what to do if you cut your hand, in the kitchen, for example, while cooking, while cooking. Happens to everyone, happens to everyone. Well, you need to stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding, so stop the blood from coming out. So if it's small, you can put on a small bandaid, bandaid, or plaster, a plaster, a bandaid, or bandage it, bandage it. Anyone can do that.

Not everyone can put on the stitches if the cut is very serious, you get that at the hospital. Don't try and do that yourself. That's a no-no. And maybe a painkiller, painkiller, to help and manage, manage the pain. But if not, well, call an ambulance, call ambulance, and go to hospital.

There is no way around it, no way around it then. Sorry. We do want it to be painless, painless, don't we?

Yeah, let's keep it this way.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Top To Bottom'

Top to bottom of the human body, human body. Can you keep up with me? Can you keep up with me? We will see. Let's go, top to bottom.

First head, head over here, and hair on it. Inside - brain, brain. We've got two eyes, a nose, and mouth. Two cheeks on the side, and two ears. Oh, let's not forget about eyelids, eyelids, and eyebrows. Am I forgetting anything? Maybe a chin, a chin. And in the mouth, we've got tongue, and teeth, and teeth, one tooth, not one tooth, many teeth, I hope.

Alright, we are done with the head, and we're moving down, we're moving down. So here is the neck, neck, and two shoulders on the left and on the right. Yeah, I've got it. We've got an arm, arm, two arms, and elbows, elbows in the middle, and down to hand, and a palm, a palm. So we have a wrist, then a palm with five fingers, and fingernails, the nails. And, oh yeah, one of the fingers, a thumb, a thumb, like thumbs up, a thumb.

Okay, we're done with arms and hands. Let's come back to the middle part, and here's the chest, and abdomen, abdomen, inside, oh, plenty of organs inside. I'm not going to draw them, such as heart, and liver, and two lungs, two kidneys, stomach, and intestines. Yeah, maybe that's enough. There's plenty of other things too.

Oh, also, breasts, and belly button, belly button, this small little thing in the middle. Wow, I'm good at this, I'm good at anatomy, and this small little thing in the middle. And let's go down. So we've got this waist, waist, waistline, and hips, hips, that's correct. And then, well, men's parts, ladies' parts, and then we've got legs.

So we start with two thighs, thighs, and knees, then knees, and then down to shins, shins. And in the back, there are calves, two calves, and ankles, oh yeah, ankles. So we are almost there. So now, two feet with toes, not fingers, toes, and toenails.

Alright, and if we look at the back right now, we've got the back, and this spine over here, then comes, well, bottom, the bottom, and parts of the leg. That's calf, calf, and oh, we've got that already, and heels, heels, the back part of the foot.

Am I forgetting anything? Am I forgetting? Well, there is a lot of other parts. Vains, cells, bones, joints, and oh, muscles, obviously muscles. Wow, I am getting good at this. I am getting good at this.

So take care of all of them, all of them, and stay healthy, from top to bottom.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
