Super sentences this is episode one and here's how it works we will begin with a simple sentence then level by level we will stretch this sentence longer and longer making it more and more advanced more difficult more complex now each time we stretch the sentence I want you to practice saying it out loud with me you can Shadow me in other words I speak you speak or you can pause the video and repeat it Out Loud by doing this we are training our brains to speak longer more complex sentences so if you're ready to get started click like on this video to support me as your YouTube English teacher and let's get going level one yeah we're starting with a very basic simple sentence you can say it with me or you can pause the video and repeat after me ready a man opens a bank account again a man opens a bank account okay I think we all probably know what this means right we have a guy a man a male okay an adult man he opens a bank account yeah he goes go to a bank he opens an account I guess he wants to start using this Bank let's see what happens next level two once again you can say this with me or pause the video and repeat out loud a man opens a bank account to save money again a man opens a bank account to save money ah okay now we know now we know why he is opening the bank account right he's opening the bank account to save money in order to save money in order to have some Savings in order to save up some money these all mean the same thing let's say level two one more time ready a man opens a bank account to save money level three here we go getting a little bit more difficult now repeat after me or say it with me here we go a man opens a bank account to save money for his future ah okay now we know why he is saving money he is saving money for his future he wants to make sure that his future self him in the future has enough money yeah he has an option right he could spend all of his money today and tomorrow have none or he can spend less today and tomorrow have more let's say this one more time say it with me or pause and repeat out loud a man opens a bank account to save money for his future level four getting even trickier now a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest ah okay one more time a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest okay we have an and here telling us that he's not just saving money for his future yeah he has two reasons why he's opening this account the first one is he's saving money for his future the second reason is he's planning to invest what does that mean that means he wants to grow his money right maybe he wants to invest in the stock market maybe he wants to invest in a certain company okay he's looking for a Smart Way a long-term way to grow his money right much like growing a plant in the garden he wants to take the money he has and grow it bigger by investing let's say this one more time level four a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest okay great job level five getting even more complex say it with me or pause and repeat a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market one more time a man opens a bank account to to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market okay remember in level four we were sort of contemplating we were sort of thinking about wondering about where he's going to invest his money how he's going to invest his money right what is going to be his Avenue right what is going to be his Avenue for investing his money well now we know in the stock market now we know specifically how he's going to invest his money okay we have our how so let's say this one more time before we move on a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market level six we're getting really serious now guys okay let's take a look at this a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth wow it's getting to be quite the mouthful quite the mouthful what does that mean that means it's a little bit difficult to say especially in one breath right let's try one more time a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth okay great what does this mean grow your wealth wealth is just money right it's the money you have he wants to grow his wealth he wants to increase okay increase his wealth by investing in the stock market so sounds like this guy is taking his future very seriously let's say this one more time in one breath ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth wow that was pretty quick are you guys keeping up with me if you find my speed to be a little bit fast you can pause the video Try saying it yourself at your own speed okay let's level up again level seven say it with me or repeat after me ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability wow I had to take a breath in the middle of that because now this single sentence is getting to be such a big super sentence that I can't say the whole thing in one breath let's try it again are you ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability okay let's take a look at the blue part what are we adding to this sentence okay so we know that he's investing we know where he's investing in the stock market we know why he's investing to grow his wealth but now we know a second why there's the first why to grow his wealth here's the second why he wants to Achieve Financial stability that's a pretty complicated expression right Achieve Financial stability stability okay achieve if you achieve something then you get something done okay for example here on my YouTube account I have achieved the accomplishment of gaining 25,000 subscribers that's something I've achieved something I have tried to do and successfully done okay to get something done maybe we could say successfully okay so what is he trying to do he wants to get financial stability Financial just means about money stability means that something is stable it's stable okay it's um not going to tip over right if a chair is stable you know you sit in it the chair is not going to fall over if you take a glass and put it on a table the glass doesn't wobble it doesn't fall over the glass is stable well your finances can be stable as well your financial situation in other words he doesn't want to have to worry about money like okay this month where is my money coming from will I have enough money what will I do if I don't have enough money that kind of situation we could call Financial instability we could add an i in to make it instability meaning that your situation is not stable it's kind of a precarious situation oo there's a big word precarious if you guys can use this word I'm sure native speakers would be very impressed precarious just means kind of um kind of a risky situation kind of an uncertain situation kind of a dangerous situation the situation is a little bit precarious just means uh my financial situation is a bit precarious that means it's not very stable okay let's say it one more time and then move on a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability level eight there are 10 levels total if you guys are still with me give yourself a pat on the back you're doing great you are building up that spoken English confidence little by little we're stretching these sentences longer and longer we're making it more and more complex you you know your spoken ability is a lot like a muscle if you're training your biceps you go to the gym right you have certain exercises that really train that muscle well that's what we're doing today okay say it with me ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies okay wow this is getting really complicated right we've just learned something new that he's doing something else that he's doing okay he's setting aside funds for emergencies funds just another way to say money that's used for something this is my travel fund my money that I'm saving to be spent on travel right this is my school supplies fund this is the money that I'm saving to be spent on school supplies well he's setting aside funds for emergencies setting aside just as another way of saying saving he's taking this money he's putting it over here so that he won't spend it he's going to save it he's going to keep it for a certain reason that reason is emergencies M yeah you know maybe there's a storm and lightning strikes his roof he has to get the roof on his house repaired maybe he's driving and he hits a nail and he gets a flat tire the tire on his car deflates deflates the air goes out of it right maybe he's you know walking to work and he trips and he breaks his ankle something bad happens and he needs money now what we're talking about is a financial emergency a money emergency right so all of the stuff he's doing is in preparation for these things for a financial emergency he's prepping here's a good word prepping just means getting ready getting ready he's getting ready for financial emergencies okay let's say this one more time I'm going to go a little bit quick a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies okay guys level 9ine we're getting close to the end here we go a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events major life events what could that be a major life event major just means big a big life event you know could be a wedding something good something happy like a wedding okay could be something bad like a funeral something where you know there's there's a big event a big milestone in your life okay Milestone basically just means something big that happens in the Journey of your life right and he might have to set aside some money for that so there's two reasons why he's setting aside funds setting aside money the first reason is emergency the second reason major life events okay are you ready to say this again a little bit faster this time a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events wow guys we have grown this sentence by a lot okay remember how small this sentence was when we started out I'm willing to bet that you have never spoken a sentence this long am I correct if I'm correct down in the comments section you can let me know yes uh teacher Connor you are correct this is the longest sentence I've ever spoken or you can say you know teacher Connor actually know I have spoken sentences this long before let's say this one more time really quick and then we'll move on to the final level let's go ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events W okay Level 10 the final level if you guys are still with me you're doing fantastic let's keep going come on push you probably feel a bit of discomfort right you probably feel a little bit uncomfortable but think about it without discomfort there is no improvement no advancement another way of saying that is no pain no gain something you hear a lot from people who work out who go to the gym right that's exactly what we're doing the unfortunate reality of learning a language is that if you are not willing to experience something discomfort then you're not going to make any progress so okay first with level 10 we're going to take it slow okay so say it with me or repeat after me ready a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events such as buying a house getting married and starting a family now we know specifically what the major life events are remember in level 9 we weren't certain what they were we weren't sure what he was talking about we had to speculate speculate we had to guess okay we had to place conject is another fancy way of saying that right we had to take a guess we had to take a shot in the dark that means take a guess when you're not really sure okay so yeah we said oh maybe a wedding maybe a funeral now we are getting some specific examples of what is being discussed okay so uh such as buying a house that's a major life event getting married that's a major life event starting a family that's a major life event okay now all three of these Milestones life Milestones all three of these major life events these cost a lot of money these are expensive things so it makes sense that this guy wants to open an account and save money and plan for his future and invest his money in the stock market and grow his wealth and get some Financial stability achieve some Financial stability while at the same time also setting aside funds for emergencies okay uh you know yeah even if you start a family you still need uh an emergency fund right what if your child needs an operation you know knock on wood knock on wood that's something we really don't want to happen so knock on wood right but uh he's really covering his bases covering his bases that means he's thinking about every possible problem every possible scenario right he doesn't want there to be some expensive surprise that drains all of his funds drains right or sucks away all of his money okay let's say this one more time at more of a medium speed now once again you can say it with me or pause the video and say it by yourself a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events such as buying a house getting married and starting a family now I'm really willing to bet that this is the longest sentence you guys have ever spoken if you have ever spoken a sentence longer than this one I will be really surprised okay let's say it one more time quickly are you ready I'm going to say it at the speed that a native speaker would probably say it at a man opens a bank account to save money for his future and plans to invest in the stock market to grow his wealth and Achieve Financial stability while also so setting aside funds for emergencies and major life events such as buying a house getting married and starting a family wow okay yeah guys you did it that was level 10 so you guys the other night I was getting ready for bed I was lying in my bed my head was on my pillow my eyes were closed I was getting ready to fall asleep and suddenly this idea came to me uh the idea of super sentences and taking a small sentence and stretching it longer and longer in order to train that muscle work out that muscle because so many of you guys have been asking me teacher Connor how can I improve my speaking well this is my best answer for you guys uh super sentences so if you guys like this video if you want more videos like this I could turn this into a ser series for you guys and we could have all sorts of different super sentences about all sorts of different topics okay so for more videos on super sentences make sure you click like click like on this video I'm still a very small YouTube channel so if you click like that helps me a lot it helps me grow my
