Dictated by: Alex, Azin, Gulya, Maha and Roberto

Hello everybody. You’re listening to Let’s Master English and my name is

Coach Shane.

Hello everybody! Welcome back to Let’s Master English, Podcast 41. Thank you
so much for listening. Welcome to the Family. I'm your English Coach Shane.
That's coach c-o-a-c-h, not couch – c-o-u-c-h. Ha, ha, ha. So many people call me
Couch Shane. Well I guess it's better than Chair Shane. Anyway in today's Podcast
we have the news, some facts from Country Shane. I think we have five questions
today. Great stuff. Really good questions. I'm gonna talk about our book club. And
at the end I'm gonna talk about DDM-LIGHT. Yeah, we have two sponsors today –
Audio and DDM. So, I need to mention something very important. One of our
DDM members, is a lifetime member, Kim JoonBum. He is just an amazing person
and he spent a lot of time creating a blog, specifically for mobile phone. For
cellular phone, mob[ai]le, mob[i]le, mob[l] phones, you know, your smart phones.
This blog is specifically for mobile phones. And the website is
Letsmasterenglish.blogspot.com. I want you to visit this site. It will be easy for you
to check out my videos and my Podcasts. He's done a great job. And he just, he just
did it. I didn't ask him to, he just volunteered and made it, and spent so many hours
building this site. It's very simple, there is nothing special. It's perfect for mobile
phone users. So, please, check out his site and leave a comment. Just say thank
you. It would mean a lot to me, and I know that Kim JoonBum would definitely
appreciate it. The website again Letsmasterenglish.blogspot.com. Alright, enough
chit-chat. Let's getting to the news.

Northern California’s Saturday morning tremor has been a disaster for Napa
Valley. Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged barrels and broken bottles
of premium vino spilling all over. The grapes for 2014’s harvest are still on the
vines, but storing them will be a problem, too, because of damaged facilities.

Hm. Talking about wine. Talking about California. And talking about an
earthquake on Saturday. There was an earthquake in Northern California. There
was a big earthquake. Many people were injured. And there was lots of damage.
But this story focuses on wine, and I'll give you my opinion a little bit later. But
let's listen one more time. I'm gonna read it a little bit more slowly. OK?

Northern California’s Saturday morning tremor has been a disaster for Napa
Valley. Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged barrels and broken bottles
of premium vino spilling all over. The grapes for 2014’s harvest are still on the
vines, but storing them will be a problem, too, because of damaged facilities.

Ok! Does that help? Yeah, there is lots of new vocabulary words, perhaps for many
of you. So let me read a first sentence again. Northern California’s Saturday
morning tremor has been a disaster for Napa Valley. OK, Northern California –
no problem. Northern California’s Saturday morning tremor, t-r-e-m-o-r. What
is a tremor? That's right – an earthquake. So, early Saturday morning, I think it was
like 3 a.m., I think it was a 6.0 earthquake hit Northern California. And that
earthquake has been a disaster d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r for Napa Valley. So, Napa Valley is
the name of an area. Napa N-a-p-a Valley V-a-l-l-e-y. Napa Valley is north of San
Francisco. Napa Valley is 100% famous for wine. The climate in Napa Valley is
perfect for producing grapes, especially for wine and actually I guess, I don't know
much about wine, but according to what I read Napa Valley wine is very very
good. So, they had an earthquake, on Saturday, and for Napa Valley it was a
disaster. So, we can assume, the story will talk about wine.

Let's look at the next sentence. Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged barrels
and broken bottles of premium vino spilling all over. OK, so, wine cellars c-e-
l-l-a-r-s. What are wine cellars? Well, wine cellars are places to store wine. Wine
cellars, this storage buildings, this storage facilities were ravaged. Oh, ravaged is
a good word r-a-v-a-g-e-d. Ravaged can have a couple of definitions, but in this
case it basically means destroyed. Destroyed, now not 100% destroyed, but,
anyway damaged a lot destroy. So, Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged
barrels and broken bottles. OK, so we can imagine going into a wine cellar, this
area were there store wine, and inside it was terrible, it was a mass. Why? Because
there were damaged barrels everywhere. Barrel b-a-r-r-e-l. A barrel is a large
container for liquid. So, we can talk about oil barrels, and wine barrels, and
whiskey barrels. Some barrels are made of steel, and some are made of wood.
Now, especially for whiskey, cognac and wine they use wood. So, because of the
earthquake many of this barrels were damaged. Not only barrels and broken
bottles. OK, we know wine comes in a bottle. Broken bottles of premium vino.
Premium p-r-e-m-i-u-m expensive very good quality, very nice vino v-i-n-o that
means wine. I believe vino is actually Italian, but we do say that in America too.

So, let me read again. Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged barrels and
broken bottles of premium vino spilling all over. So, when we say spill we mean
liquid is (sound, like liquid flows from a bottle) going everywhere. You can spill
coffee on your shirt. Uh, that’s terrible. Spill milk on the table, yeah. Spilling
wine. Spilling premium wine, oh no, all over. All over means everywhere. So as
soon as you went into the wine cellar. Aha, it was terrible! We’ve got damage
barrels and broken bottles of expensive wine and the wine is everywhere. It was a
mess. And very expensive mess.

The next sentence, also the last sentence. The grapes for 2014’s harvest are still
on the vines. OK, so this is 2014 and very soon, they have many grapes, you know
growing in California, and very soon they’re going to pick the grapes. So we say
the grapes for 2014’s harvest. What does it mean, harvest? H-a-r-v-e-s-t gathering
or picking the grapes you to eat, or to make wine, or to make jelly, or to make
juice. So, harvest season is in a fall. Some people harvest corn. Some people
harvest grapes. We can harvest any type of crop, harvesting. OK, so The grapes
for 2014’s harvest are still on the vines. What are the vines? The vines are the
grape plants. A g-r-a-p-e grape plants. Actually the vines are the long stems, you
know they grow, and grow, and grow around the long stems of grape plants. So, on
those long stems, the grapes are still there, they have not been harvested yet. But
very soon, they will be harvested. And there is a problem.

Listen again. The grapes for 2014’s harvest are still on the vines but storing
them will be a problem, too. So, after you pick the grapes, you have to put them
some place, right? You have to put them and a tank, in a barrel, in a bottle. But
storing these grapes will be a problem too. Why? Because of damaged facilities.
So in this case facilities- places where grapes are processed into wine. And there
are big tanks and of course there are barrels and bats b-a-t-s and bottles. But many
of these tanks. Many of the barrels. Many of the bottles. They’ve been damaged,
because of the earthquake. So, putting these grapes some place is gonna be a
problem.

Now, this is a serious story. For people who work in the wine industry. If you love
Californian wine, if you love Napa Valley wine you can expect the price of Napa
Valley wine to increase. However, let's be honest. Is this a serious problem? No,
it's just grapes. And every year we can get some more grapes. Yes, it's, if you are a
wine lover, it's terrible. And if you own a business, a winery w-i-n-e-r-y then it's
very terrible news, it's very hard news. So, for those people I do feel bad. But,
we're talking about an earthquake, a big earthquake. And as far as I know, nobody
actually died. And many people were injured. There is a lot of damage, not just to
Napa Valley, but to other buildings and houses. So there are many tragedies when
talking about an earthquake.

But, wine as a tragedy? Yeah, I don't know. Ha, ha, ha, once again I don't really
drink wine, actually I don't drink wine. I can. My Mom used to drink wine, but, I
don't think she does drink wine much anymore. Now, one of our listeners is from
Greece. And he loves wine. He talks about wine. I think he has a wine restaurant
or a wine store. So, I know for him this is probably interesting and very important
news. And for others of you? I’m sure many of you enjoy wine. It’s sad news,
especially if you like Napa Valley wine. By the way if you have the chance to visit
America, visiting Napa Valley. It’s actually a very nice idea. It’s very beautiful,
it’s a little expensive. So, if you like me and have no money, you probably don’t
want to go to Napa Valley, but if you’re planning a vacation, Northern California
has many beautiful areas. And Napa Valley is absolutely one of those places you
should visit.
Ok, so that’s the story, not too bad. We had some good words to learn here.
● Tremor t-r-e-m-o-r, a tremor is an earthquake.
● Wine cellars, c-e-l-l-a-r-s.
● Now listen to the pronunciation Tremor, Cellar. One ends an o-r, another
ends an a-r, but the pronunciation is the same. Yeah, English is crazy. I
know, I know.
● Wine cellars are places to store wine.
● Ravaged r-a-v-a-g-e-d, in this case it means destroyed. Now it’s a strong
word, and the wine cellars were not 100% destroyed, but they were
damaged. So we can also think damaged in this situation.
● Barrels b-a-r-r-e-l-s large containers for liquids.
● Premium very expensive, very high quality.
● Vino v-i-n-o wine.
● All over everywhere.
● Harvest h-a-r-v-e-s-t in this case gathering the grapes to eat, or to make
wine, or to make jelly, or to make juice, or to make oil, whatever.
● Vines v-i-n-e-s the long stems of grape plants.
● And finally Facilities f-a-c-i-l-i-t-i-e-s places where grapes are processed
into wine.

OK, let’s listen to the story two more times. The first time- nice and smooth, the
second time- normal. Here we go!

Northern California’s Saturday morning tremor has been a disaster for Napa
Valley. Wine cellars were ravaged with damaged barrels and broken bottles
of premium vino spilling all over. The grapes for 2014’s harvest are still on the
vines, but storing them will be a problem, too, because of damaged facilities.

How’re you doing everybody? This is Country Shane and I’m here to bring you the
facts.
Wine is a name game— and appearance too, experts rate hard to pronounce
wines as betters and wines in nicer bottles as more expensive. But the same
wine with simple names and simple bottles they rated them cheap.

This has been Country Shane bringing you the facts.

Ho boy, a little bit of controversy but it’s true. They done research, you have a
wine, a regular wine and if you give the wine a very difficult name, people think
it's better, if you give it a simple name, people think it's cheap and the same with
the bottles, if you put wine in a nice looking bottle, people think it's better,
therefore more expensive, but if you put the same wine in a simple bottle, people
think it's cheap, ho boy, ho boy, so I don't know once again, I don't know much
about wine but I do know that many people spend lots of money on wine, but
maybe actually, you don't have to, maybe not looking at the price and just
concentrating on the taste, might be a better idea, is it true?. I don't know, you tell
me, are you a wine expert?, what do you think of this?
Today's first sponsor is Audible, this is the Amazon company that produces audio
books and they've got thousands of excellent books, maybe even in your language,
well they got tons in English, if you go to www.audibletrial that's a-u-d-i-b-l-e-t-r-
i-a-l www.audibletrial.com/lme, that means Let's Master English, if you go there
and click on the link, you would be taken to another page, but this is my sponsor
and if you sign up here, you can get a free audio book, now some audio books are
really cheap like $5 dollars, and some audio books are really expensive like $40
dollars, of course the new books, the good books, the interesting books, they're
more expensive, but if you sign up, you can choose one book for free, and this
month in our book club, we are studying a great book that is on audible.

The book is called "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff... And It's All Small Stuff"
and the author is Richard Carlson. It’s a great book. It was written, you know about
10-15 years ago. There is a series. So, be careful if you choose this book and join
the book club, the book club is free, everybody. If you choose the book, the title is
“Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff”. OK, so be sure you pick
the correct title. Now normally this book is like 22$, a little bit expensive.
However, if you sign up today, you can get it for free. If you already signed up,
don’t worry, you can get this book for your monthly membership. So, the first
month is free, and after that Audible charges you 15$ a month. I think it 14.95 $.
But with that membership you can choose any book. So, I recommend if you’re
interested in the book club, then you should choose “Don’t Sweat The Small
Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff”. It’s a great opportunity.

Now these are audio books. It’s all in English. It’s not too fast, but let’s be honest,
it’s not completely easy either. So, if you are Beginner, if you watch my Daily
Dictation videos and you cannot hear 70-80%, then I do not recommend that you
join, I’m just being honest. But if you can hear 70-80% of Daily Dictation, and
those lessons are free everybody, then this is something you might want to
consider. So, what I do, is, when I listen to the audio book, I always do it on my
walk. Now I have an IPhone. I don’t use it as a telephone, just does it as smart
thing I guess. So when I go on a walk, I put the audio book, they have an App on
my IPhone and I listen. They also have it for the Android and Kindle and
Windows. And they have over 150 000 audio books. Now does it have to be an
audio book to join the book club? No of course not. You can use the print book
too. And actually many people use both. They use the audio book and the print
book and that’s a great idea too.

Once again if you’re really interested in concentrating on building your listening

skills, I do recommend just the audio book. Now actually for me, I have the audio
book and I have the print book. So the book is great. I highly recommend it and I
hope that you join us. If you join Audible, once again. www.audibletrial.com/lme
they do give me a small payment. It’s a onetime payment, I do not get paid every
month. And it’s not a lot, but it's, it's good. It helps pay for everything. So, this is
another way you can support Coach Shane and ‘Lets Master English’. And the
more support I get, the longer I’ll be here, the more Ill’ provide you. So I sincerely
appreciate any help that you can give me. So, once again
www.audibletrial.com/lme , go there, click on “Get my free audio book”, sign up,
look for “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff” and you’re in
the book club. Thanks a lot everybody.

OK, now let’s get into some questions.

The first question is from Leo Silva: “How do I pronounce ‘liked to’ and ‘saved
to’. Am I supposed to pronounce the T-sound twice or just say it once? If I say
it once, won't people be confused, if it's simple present or past tense? Oh, what
do I do? LIKED TO.”

Well, Leo Silva, this is a great question and this is what we study in DDM. We
study things like this. The simple answer- just make one T-sound. So, LIKED TO
when we speak normally we say LIKETO. I liked to ride bikes when I was young.
I liked to ride bikes when I was young. When I was young, that means a long time
ago, so in the context we know it's past tense. If you just say it I like to, I like to
ride bikes. Yes, actually that would be confusing. Is it LIKE TO or LIKED TO. So,
it depends on the context. And the same think with SAVED TO, SAVED TO,
SAVETO. Don't worry about the D, you can use the T only. SAVETO, SAVETO.
And I don't think SAVED TO would be very common in the sentence, but that's
the idea. PROMISED TO, PROMISETO, put them together. So if we have a verb
that ends an ED and the next word is TO, Americans when the say it normally,
they're only going to pronounce the T and the TO, OK? Not always, but 96,3% of
the time. So that's my advice Leo Silva. Now remember everybody I prefer
students speak as clearly as possible, but to be honest I LIKED TO is a little bit
awkward. I LIKE TO sounds much better. Thanks for the question.

Our next question comes from Paula Mena. And Paula says: “What does “MIND
YOU” mean?”
That's a good question. So, MIND YOU m-i-n-d y-o-u. This is actually the same
think as HOWEVER or ALTHOUGH and can have variations like that. So I’ll
give you an example. “I didn't eat breakfast mind you I didn't eat supper either”.
So, that case a kind of means ALSO. “I didn't eat breakfast and also you should
know I didn't eat dinner either”. MIND YOU is not that common in America, it's
more of a British expression. So, when you ask questions like this it's best to give
me some examples, because depending on the sentence, the meaning can be a little
bit different. But once again, HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH, ALSO, that's usually
what that means. So, you’re gonna have to read the context. Ok? Thanks for the
question Paula.

Our next question comes from Mohammed Alajmi: “How do I learn more
academic words? How do I learn punctuation?” Great question! Well, academic
words you have to read or of course watch videos like on YouTube or
documentaries. That’s the only way to learn academic words of course you can
open a dictionary and you can buy a book of academic words but I don’t know
sounds kind of boring to me. If you’re taking a test like the TOEFL exam buying
‘practice exams’ is really going to help you build your academic vocabulary base.
Academic words are common in academia not in daily English so you’re gonna
have to look; read magazines, read science articles, read whatever the subject is,
my recommendation is read. When you see a new word, write it down. Look it up
in a dictionary, get the pronunciation make an example sentence. It’s the best way
to learn words. Punctuation, oh boy! That’s, that’s a tough one! The best thing to
do, to be honest, is write and compare your writing with other people. Once again
reading a lot will help you understand punctuation also. And there are several
books that you can find on Amazon that teach punctuation, and I’ll give you 3
titles. ‘The best punctuation book, period’, it’s a great book for people who want
to write. ‘Grammar Girl’s Punctuation 911’ is also very famous. And my
favorite is actually ‘Eats, Shoots and Leaves’, that’s e-a-t-s, s-h-o-o-t-s and
leaves, l-e-a-v-e-s. I personally really like that book specially the title, I thought the
title is very clever. There are many other books. You can find on Amazon. I have
‘Eats shoots and leaves’ and sometimes I refer to it. Right now it’s in a box behind
me. I still don’t have a bookcase, but one day I’ll be able to afford a bookcase and
then I can open up all my books. I’m very excited about that. Punctuation is very
important if you are writing. Be serious about your punctuation. The easiest
recommendation I can give you: keep your sentences short. The shorter your
sentence is the easier the punctuation.

Our next question is from Ester Sanchez. Now, on Coach Shane’s ESL YouTube
channel I made a video that talked about schools in America and Ester has a great
question: “Do you get a minor at a technical college and a major at the
University?” Great question! So, technical college is a two-year college and no,
that’s not called a minor. Minor m-i-n-o-r, if you graduate from technical college
what they give you is called an associates degree. It’s a two-year degree or a
technical degree. They’ll give you that. Now, at the university and we also say
college if you graduate after 4 years and study specific subject you get a major, so
your major in English literature, that’s your main study. So when I went to school
I majored in International Relations and I minored in Economics and East Asian
studies. So I had 1 major and 2 minors. Now, what that means is I graduated with
the major I did a big research paper on International Relations and I graduated. But
what Economics and East Asian studies, what I did was I just took a lot of classes.
I took a lot of classes in Economics and a lot of classes in East Asian studies and I
wrote many papers. Now, if you look at my degree from the university it doesn’t
mention my minors. I guess maybe some schools do but mine didn’t. I went to the
University of Minnesota. It just mentions my major which once again was
International Relations. So, Majors and Minors that’s at the university. Associate
degrees or technical degrees, that’s a two-year college, the technical college or the
community college, okay?
And finally one more question from Andrey. It’s about pronunciation. A-i-r, e-r-r,
h-e-i-r, h-a-r-e, and h-a-i-r. I’munna read, I’munna spell one more time. If you
have a pen write it down and after I spell it say the word, okay? Here we go: A-i-r,
air, e-r-r, err, h-e-i-r, heir, h-a-r-e, hare, h-a-i-r, hair. So the first 3 are pronounced
the same a-i-r, e-r-r, h-e-i-r, are all pronounced [er], air, err, heir. And h-a-r-e and
h-a-i-r are pronounced hair, isn’t English easy? So I’m gonna give you a really
difficult sentence and I’m wondering if anybody can write it down properly. Here
we go:
The air you give, tells me you think you’re the heir of the hare’s hair, but you are
in err.

I used all 5 words, one sentence. One more time:

The air you give, tells me you think you’re the heir of the hare’s hair, but you are
in err.

Should I give you the answer? Should I give you the answer? Okay here is the
answer. If you don’t want to listen keep trying. Here we go, the answer is: The first
word is a-i-r, the air you give tells me you think you are the heir, h-e-i-r of the
hare’s, h-a-r-e-’-s, hair, h-a-i-r, but you are in err, e-r-r. Use a dictionary to figure it
out.

Thanks for those awesome questions.

It's time for the book club. Coach Shane's book club, once again this month we are
reading, well we're listening and some of you are probably reading the book "Don't
Sweat The Small Stuff... And It's All Small Stuff". It's a fantastic book and it's
made of, of 100 things maybe you should be doing and if you do these things, your
life might be much better. So 100 things, basically in the book it's 100 chapters and
what we did this first week, well what I did, I hope you did it too, is I listened to
the first hour of the book and the first hour includes these chapters. I'm going to
read the chapters to you and then I'll talk about one of them, my favorite one, so
here we go:

● Number 1, chapter 1: Don't sweat the small stuff

● Chapter 2: Make peace with imperfection
● Chapter 3: Let go of the idea that gentle relaxed people can't be super
achievers
● Number 4: Be aware of the snowball effect of your thinking
● Number 5: Develop your compassion
● Number 6: Remain yourself that when you die your "In basket" won't be
empty
● Number 7: Don't interrupt others or finish their sentences
● Number 8: Do something nice for someone else and don't tell anyone about
it
● Chapter 9: Let others have the glory
● Chapter 10: Learn to live in the present moment
● Chapter 11: Imagine that everyone is enlightened except you
● Number 12: Let others be right most of the time
● Number 13: Become more patient
● Number 14: Create patience practice periods
● Number 15: Be the first one to act loving or reach out
● Chapter 16: Ask yourself the question, well this matter a year from now
● 17: Surrender to the fact that life isn't fair
 ● Number 18: Allow yourself to be bored
● 19: Lower your tolerance to stress
● Chapter 20 Once a week write a heartfelt letter
● 21: Imagine yourself at your own funeral
● 22: Repeat to yourself "life isn't an emergency"
● 23: Experiment with your back burner
● And chapter 24 Spend a moment every day thinking of someone to thank.

So those first 24 chapters make up the first hour of the audio book and once again
it's a four hour audio book and well... there you go, we discovered about almost 25
of the 100 points. All of these things are really good pieces of advice and I know if
you're just listening to the title many of them sound very difficult but actually
they're not, if you listened to the book or if you read the book, hopefully you
understand most of them. I don't think you'll understand all of them, you don't have
to. I want you to have the basic idea, many people when they read this book, they
actually don't read all the chapters. Now of these 24 chapters my favorite was
chapter 7. This is something I need to do, don't interrupt others or finish their
sentences. This is such good advice, and I think with my students I'm pretty good
but in my personal relationships I tend to interrupt people. People are talking and
then I get in the middle of their sentences and say something. That's not nice and
sometimes as I’m listening to somebody speak I'm thinking about how they're
going to finish their sentence so that I can reply. That's stupid, that's something at
shouldn't do. If you're talking with somebody let them speak, let them finish their
sentence, and after they're done, think about what they said, take 5 seconds, take 10
seconds and then make a reply.
Now of course if you’re talking about buying groceries at the store this is not
important but if you having a discussion, if you’re talking about problems, if
they’re talking about their day or some experience they had at work or at school,
the message of chapter 7 is: shut up! Just let the person talk, and, and don’t think
about, don’t guess what they’re going to say, just listen! maybe you’ll be surprised.
And then if you have something to add you can make your statement. You can say
what you want to say after they’re done.

Now, I’m thinking of one person in particular and I tend to interrupt this person
way too much and it’s so not nice. So for the next week I’m going to really
practice chapter 7 NOT interrupting others and I’m going to NOT finish other
people’s sentences. This is a great book and it’s nothing too philosophically new
but it’s good advice and I think all of us can use good advice even if we don’t use
it, it’s nice to hear it and that’s why I chose the book: Don’t Sweat The Small
Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff! So I’m curious, if you are listening to this book
what was your favorite chapter of these 24? Or did you have any specific
questions? I’ll answer, once again I’ll answer 2 or 3 questions every week
regarding the books that we study in the book club. Will I make videos? Probably
not. It just takes so much time. People ask me about the book that we studied last
month which was fantastic; Tuesdays with Morrie is, and I did make a video for
that book and the reaction was great. Thank you so much for enjoying that book.
And they ask me are you gonna do a second video? Because I did say I would do a
second video, but I’m not. And the reason why I’m not going to do a second video
is well to be honest, the story kind of repeats itself and well the guy dies, and that’s
just sad and I didn’t wanna show you any tears in my expression. So no, I’m not
going to finish or I’m not going to make a second video for Tuesdays with Morrie.
However if you have not read or listened to the book it’s a beautiful book. It’s very
very nice and I highly recommend it. As I do this book, once again: Don’t Sweat
The Small Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff! You can get the book for free if you
sign up here: www.audibletrial.com/lme.

dictated and once again Roberto Remigio, I hope my pronunciation was okay, he
was the team leader this time and I tell you the people who do the dictation for the
podcast do an excellent job, it must be very difficult. And just thank you so much.
These people are all volunteers. So if you are interested in dictating a section of the
podcast, then leave a message for Roberto. You can find him on the google+
community; it’s ah, once again, Let’s Master English. And they split the podcast
into sections and everybody does a little bit of the dictation. It’s just outstanding!
You guys make me so proud, I’m very happy to be your English coach.
