Hello
again!
Was that a
bit easier? Yeah? Good! Now let's continue with our lesson about
the verb 'to be', but this time we're going to study
the neagtive form. So, listen
to me
again.
I'm not
English, I'm Welsh. You know Wales? Wales? ... Scotland, England,
Wales? I'm Welsh. And I'm not a teacher, I'm a singer.
You know a singer? But don't worry. Don't worry. Now... you aren't fluent in
English, yet... you aren't fluent, but you will be. Now, he... my
boyfrient: he isn't rich, he isn't
famous, and
he isn't tall... but he's still wonderful. ...she...yes. She isn't
a pedigree
and she isn't very obedient, but she's smashing.
It... WEll, this hat. It
isn't very practical, isn't very practical, is it?
Now, we aren't friends yet, but
we will
become friends. so wen aren't. They... those... they, they aren't
English music. And they aren't cheap. OK? So those are
examples of the verb 'to be'
in the
negative. And now it's time to move to our
language screen, where we can study the grammar together. Now, like in the
positive form, we have a
contraction in the negative. Let's look at the negative! 'I
am not', 'you are not', 'he is not', 'she is not', 'it is not', 'we are not',
'you are not', 'they are not'.
Now, to contract those when we speak we say:
'I'm not English', 'you aren't, you see that? 'Aren't'... 'are
not'... 'aren't'... difficult pronunciation... 'you aren't
worried', 'he isn't famous', 'she isn't obedient', 'it isn't
comfortable', 'we aren't relatives', 'you aren't
fluent', and 'they aren't cheap'. So, the difficult here is the
pronunciation of 'are not', which is 'aren't'. OK?
'Aren't'.
Good! So,
that's the negative of the verb 'to be' and now it's time to go
back to our story 'That's life!'. And I'll see you soon.
Bye!

Hi again,
and how are you?
Now, in
the last part of 'That's life!' did you hear nationalities and
countries? Because that's what we're studying now: nationalities
and countries. And to help me do this, I'm going to use my CDs.
Let's have a look. Now, Brazilian samba... fantastic! This is from
Brazil, the Brazilian samba! What about this... Spanish flamenco!
This is Spanish flamenco from Spain. Next one: Irish folk music,
very interesting... Irish folk music from Ireland. Next: Italian
opera, from Italy. Cool American jazz from America, And here we
have French romantic music from France. And then, unusual Chinese
music, unusual Chinese music from China. So, those were
nationalities and countries.
Let's now
go to our language screen and look at those words together. Now, if
you look, on the left you can see the countries and on the right
you will see the nationalities or the languages, because they are
the adjectives. Alright? Let's look together. So, Australia is the
country, Australian is the nationality. Brazil is the country,
Brazilian is the nationality or language, for example: China,
Chinese. England, English. France, French. Italy, Italian. Japan,
Japanese. Portugal, Portuguese. Spain, Spanish. Switzerland, Swiss.
The United States, American. OK, so those are some of the more
important countries and
nationalities.
Good! So
we've studied the verb 'to be', and countries and nationalities,
and this is the end of our first lesson. But come back for more,
because this is the programmer, the live programmer where you can
learn English. See you soon, Bye!
