Hi guys welcome back I’m Julia, your online English teacher and in today’s
lesson lesson 20 we will be looking once more at prepositions of time. Now at this
point I would like you to make a list prepositions of time list. So as to
really visualize all the different prepositions that you can choose from to
express your ideas. So we have already looked at in at on today we’re going to
look at more more prepositions of time. So do start off with turning on those
subtitles. I always recommend that you try as much as possible to watch the
videos just with subtitles in English, then subtitles in your mother tongue,
then back to English, and then no subtitles. I’d like you to try and watch
the entire video with no subtitles after repeating the video several times. Of
course okay so that’s today’s focus don’t forget to follow the steps that we
have suggested so we try and present you with the grammar point of the day and
lots of new words in a natural context. So in an everyday conversation that’s
the dialogue that is followed by a list of key words read out for you for
pronunciation but also to understand them so at this point subtitles in your
own language makes perfect sense. because then you can look at the meaning of each
of those keywords. You will then move on to the grammar part of the video to get
more examples of how to use these new prepositions of time. After that the
questions and answers will present you with today’s content in a different way.
And finally we will coincide again you and I fought the recap section of the
lesson during this last stage I have chosen different points to discuss. So
during this last stage I simply present you with things that I think are very
important and that you should focus on. Generally we are going to look at
pronunciation keywords and grammar in context. Okay guys well that’s it for
today I’ll now let you study and I will see you later for the recap. Bye bye.

The actors are more famous than the characters.
The scenes are very well filmed and the lighting is very good.

Lesson 20 recap with Julia
Hi guys! Welcome back! Let’s do a recap together of lesson 19! This is a great lesson for pronunciation! We’re going to look at all the vocabulary referring to cinema and the commonly mispronounced landmarks in London. So I’m going to use this lesson as a pretext to help you learn how to pronounce some famous places in London because at some point you may want to visit London. Many of the famous landmarks or places that you will go or that you will visit are quite difficult to pronounce. I’d like to focus on that today also so there’s a cultural aspect in today’s video. At the end we will review some of the prepositions of time (in, at, on) which you will have also discovered through the grammar video of today’s lesson.
Vocabulary referring to cinema:
This is something that my students are very used to. It’s something and that you will become familiar with throughout these videos. I very often like to write the phonetic transcription of words. I use the IPA (the international phonetic alphabet) in class but in these videos I like to simplify it. Like this you don’t have to learn about this new language, the IPA and its symbols and how it works. You just have to look at the the way it sounds. That’s what a phonetic transcription is. It is not to make it more complicated. It’s just help you remember how things are pronounced. Here this isn’t a phonetic transcription, it’s a phonetic transcription, it is a way of memorising the word cinema can also be pronounced cinema here you can write it down you can either copy that phonetic transcription if it’s how you would remember the pronunciation you can also find your own interpretation so cinema or cinema is quite British you say: “I’m going to the cinema”.
“I’m going to the cinema”
but the American version – American English
(That is something, once again, if there is a difference to be highlighted, I will introduce it in the recap video)
I, as you all know, speak British English but if there is something that is different in American English, I will highlight it and I will tell you so that you can choose:
you can speak American English if you prefer or British English the main difference is with a few spelling changes and there are few words that differ slightly but otherwise we understand each other these aren’t dialects we speak the same language but if there is a difference in pronunciation or a difference in vocabulary, I will tell you.
cinema – cinema (British English)
I go to the movies (American English)
Let’s see some more vocabulary related to cinema!
subtitles
original
version
agency – This word isn’t related to movies but I’ve put it in the list because of the sound /dj/. This sound requires a little extra work.
agency – Repeat after me: “agency” is like the word we just saw before “original”: /dj/ original
Repeat after me:
agency
original
The prepositions:
with
without
admission
a queue
to show
all around the world
a cinema complex
Let’s look at London landmarks or famous places that people generally mispronounce the pretext today is:
Leicester Square
Leicester Square is the landmark that appears in the dialogue and now I’m going to give you several others we’re not going to see them all because I know that there are many more so this is something that you will see again in a different recap video
we will carry on with this list later on. So for today let’s look at these:
they will come up on the screen now with the phonetic transcription
Leicester Square
we can transcribe like this: /lester skwea/
Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly: that’s easy to pronounce
Circus: some of my students like to mispronounce
It is “circus”
Repeat after me!
Piccadilly Circus
Tottenham Court Road
Tottenham Court Road
Repeat after me!
Tottenham Court Road
Marylebone High Street
Marylebone High Street
Shaftesbury Avenue
Chiswick
Southwark
Here we have two possible pronunciations
You can choose! You can say: Greenwich or Greenwich
Greenwich
Greenwich
Soho
I mentioned this place in one of our previous videos: Soho
It contains two gliding vowels: Soho
Borough Market
Borough Market
Buckingham Palace
and finally: Trafalgar Square!
I hope that you enjoyed that list!
Do watch the video again if it was a little fast-paced.
Do get some practice and now let’s look at today’s grammar point
just like in previous videos for grammar: I don’t go through the whole grammar point with you
you have the grammar video for that
what we do together is we just run through some of the key examples
I put the sentences up here on the screen with a gap and you have to fill them in with the right preposition
here the preposition would be: IN, AT, ON
Let’s see some examples!
See you on Monday!
See you at 2:00 p.m.
See you at Christmas!
See you on Christmas Day!
He was born in the 90s
in 2018
on March 26th
at night
in the morning
That’s it for today! Thanks for watching this video!
I’ll see you next time! Bye-bye!
