Could you take the cpe exam from any part of the world
Yes- there are testing centres worldwide :)
As an Arizona resident I can definitely say she has a Southern California accent. One way to tell is every statement ends with a rising tone as if she is asking a question. Not quite a Valley Girl accent but the California accent is definitely there.
Following this, they go through? 🤔 Yeah, tomatoes example...
A wide range of nouns, verbs, and concepts that I would have never imagined and drilled on my own. Quite illustrating/illustrative ? 😮😅this video, thanks!
@@yessica6030 Thanks for the lovely feedback, I really appreciate it!! :)
Ser primíparo o el nuevo en cualquier situación es estar en la línea de fuego. Cualquier error es el espacio perfecto para tener el bautismo de fuego. Yo fuí coordinadora por unas semanas porque mi corazón me pedía hacerlo. Encender la llama de la pasión por empezar el día laboral en el equipo de trabajo era algo que hacía con gusto pero, al final vi que día a día cada problema solo le echaba más y más leña a la candela. Así que 'me fueron'...porque tarde o temprano el río que suena, piedras lleva.
Freshmen or new comers in general are always in the firing line. Any small mistake is a baptism of fire. Working as a coordinator for some weeks was just fire in my belly. I loved to think how best lighting a fire under my staff but...everyday problems at work just added fuel to the fire...so I was fired cause sooner or later, there is no smoke without fire. Life fire lessons are long lasting 😅🔥
Love the Irish accent and want to be able to understand it so I don't get lost when watching movies.
I hope these suggestions will help you along the way! :)
Pure gold increasing cause of this video 📸 thank you!!!
Honestly you have made my day!! :)
Thank you mam. I am from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
This video is amazing, you're such a genius, I wonder why not a lot of people have seen it and liked it!. But myself I watched it from start to finish all ears ❤ and I think it's a masterpiece 🎉
Oh almost forgot! Greetings from Algeria
Thanks for such a lovely comment, I really appreciate it!! Greetings from wet and windy Scotland!!
I dont like fighting fire with fire but sometimes i have no choice
Another good series Lisa McGee (Derry Girls) wrote is London Irish, starring Sinéad Keenan, who just took over in Unforgotten.
What does bridge over trouble water mean ??
Congratulations Sinead!! What a pleasure it has been seeing you evolve and grow over this time with us! See you soon 🥰
Lovely video, Lorraine.
I'm glad you liked it!
Really curiose for me that in Spanish we use in the opposite way: I'm or I move or I fell like fish on water. When you are in a familiar environment for you.
It is isn't it! I love comparing similarities and differences in English like that.
Plz elaborate all phrasal with different context. When it is used with more example❤
Thanks for your wonderful video.. Plz make a video on "get away with"
yes I will!
I live in western Washington, upper Paciffic Northwest, I would love to hear what my accent sounds like! Especially from foreign countries ❤
Thanks for the comment- I hope to get a wider variety of accents featured on this channel :)
very weak candidates, no proficiency at all. they sound like B2 level students
Morning! Just out of interest, what qualifies you to judge them? They both took the exam and passed and are both now working in their professions in the UK :)
@@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGH overall performance. pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, flow of speech
@@rendezvousss but my question is, what qualifies you to judge that?
comparing them to people I know with proficiency and native speakers @@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGH
of course they will pass the paper, but it is not the level of true proficiency @@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGH
Thanks to all my fabulous students who attended classes in person and online over the last year. This really is my dream job (I hope you can tell!!) and I'm so grateful for all the support and trust. I'm very excited to share more content in 2024 🥰
Lack of accent sounds Californian as opposed to Boston or New York that has distinct sounds. I love the sound of different English speakers around the world and in America. I’m in San Diego so I can tell you are Californian too
Thank you so much it is really useful
wtf
Could you recommend something on TH-cam
It really depends on what you're into, by far my favourite Irish TH-camr is Conor Moore, he does skits of football and F1 managers, players and team talks etc but that's not everyone's cup of tea!
I tried download "full house " book for free but I couldn't find it
See if you can buy it second hand on Amazon, it's worth it!!
Since i started developing some eating disorders my whole life is doom and gloom😢
That's a very good example!
I consider myself ignorant of the English language (which I'm trying to study), to my ears, from what I've heard, Irish, Canadian and American English seem to sound very similar and very distinct from British English; I believe this is because these 3 are rhotic and perhaps Irish immigrants have influenced the English of Americans. These three variations of English are the only ones I consider when studying as I dislike British English and find it more difficult. Also in the world it seems to me that people tend to have an English more similar to American despite (and in my opinion unfortunately) British English is insisted on in schools, this I assume is due to the fact that American English is prevalent in the media . By now I find British English very anomalous, not only for the pronunciation, but also for the words and for the spelling. As a European I think I will come to Ireland to study English 1) Because it is in the European Union. 2) Because Irish English is more similar to American English (at least in pronunciation). 3) Because I find Irish culture more fascinating than the English one.
English English was also rhotic during the time of American settlement. If you look up the work of Trudgill on the r in the dialects of England, you'll see that as late as the 1950s large swathes of England still spoke with rhotic accents, but they were mostly older people as the younger had been picking up the London trend of decreasing rhoticity for generations and today rhotic accents in England are rare, but still existing in some regional dialects. The r in both Irish English and American English was likely brought to both countries by English settlers originally. There is also the fact that young Irish people tend to have a large degree of American influence on their accents due to the influence of the media (as talked about by head of linguistics at Trinity Jeffrey Kallen on the radio a few years back). So those two factors combined, shared rhoticity compared to Southern British Standard English, and American influence in the media, combine to give a clear impression of similarity between American, Canadian and Irish English, especially to the ears of someone for whom English is not their native language.
Loads of series are a slow burner, u dont enjoy them at first but after a few episodes they grow on u
Really good use of slow burner and to grow on someone! :D
👏💪👏💪
Thank you so much for your productive lesson k deeply appreciate.
I'm glad you liked it and found it useful!
Just as Michael, I went to town on chocolate this Easter! 😂😂😂
I think that Michael is a metaphor for many of us haha
Nah it's easier to learn it in Spain, the exams are easier.
There's a big difference between learning material off by heart for exam purposes and actually learning a language though!
@@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGH The main reason is getting the B1 / B2 or even C1 english diploma and then keep on learning the lenguage, which is exactly what I've been doing, I don't even go to an english school. The best way to learn a language is by travelling to the country though, in that I am gonna have to agree, but other than that, an english exam in the UK is going to be harder than one in Spain.
@@mufmager It's so interesting about the differences in exams! I wish you all the best with your studies- you must be very motivated studying by yourself without a teacher, I admire that!

Tessa came up to her desk and picked up the phone. "Hello?" - she asked. "Hi, it's Jenny. Listen, I'm really sorry but I don't think I'll make it to the meeting this evening. You see -- I CAME DOWN WITH some nasty bug yesterday." "Oh dear, that sounds awful!" "...But I hope I'll GET OVER it soon - I have a huge backlog of work to do, it can't wait too long." Considering it had only been a few weeks earlier that Jenny had finished her last cycle of chemotherapy, Tessa felt it was important that her colleague rested as much as possible. "Take your time, Jenny! There's no point rushing back to office when you're feeling unwell," she told her friend. ------ "So, what were your symptoms like in the beginning?" "Well - it all seemed quite innoucous at first; runny nose, a bit of a sore throat. And then all of a sudden I BROKE OUT in a rash all over my body! Then, my blood pressure sky-rocketed, and body temperature got very high indeed..." "Dear, oh dear..." "...I made for the kitchen to get some antihistamines, in the hope of SHAKING OFF at least some of the symptoms. But the next thing I knew - I PASSED OUT and fell to the ground. Thank goodness my head wasn't hurt!" ------- The whole Pottery-Back family held out hope that little 'Clunky' would eventually PULL THROUGH, but much to their despair, the beloved kitten PASSED AWAY in its sleep. At first I thought I would try to cover all the phrasal verbs mentioned in the video, but it's not like the end of the world that I didn't, right? 😉 Thank you for the lesson! 👍
That's such an amazing effort! Really, I'm blown away!!
@@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGHThanks!👌
Thankss
❤🎉
You seem and sound so life-like. ♥️It feels like you’re an actress from either Broadway or Hollywood 🍀
That might be the most amazing feedback I have ever received! haha Many thanks!! 🥰
Hi, Lorraine. Awesome video🤩🤩. Would you be so kind as to upload more CPE phrasal verbs videos?
Thanks for the lovely comment! Yes there are some similar videos in the pipeline :)
Well this was ridiculously easy for me because I am a native English speaker. Thanks a lot thou, I needed this because I need to ace this very annoying English Proficiency exam. Haha... Well that's sad, I claim to speak English, now I have to defend I speak English
thanks.this may help me to improve my english
Thanks!!!
Wow Amazing
My old jeans are in tatters😪
Great example!!
🌼🍒🍒🍒🌼
The most important attitude in language learning is to make progress. Questions such as how long will it take to acquire a language? and when will I be perfect? It is necessary to continue on the road without getting demoralized and to progress every day. That's why I just wrote it as "Progress". I had no bad intentions. Thank you for your video.
I couldn't agree more!! I'm glad you found the video useful and all the best on your learning journey!! :D
@@SIMPLYENGLISHEDINBURGH We kiss your hand with great respect, Dear Ma'am and Teacher,
Very useful !
I got confused cause under musical terms, playing things by ear means something totally different. Just good to know...! Thanks
I wish I were all set for taking a CAE :) Giving it some thoughts but, a master thesis is ahead. So, just putting it on even a longer finger...
I hope your thesis goes really well! :D
Extremely useful !
Thanks so much! I'm planning on making similar content in the coming months :)
I’ve noticed most people get an interference from French, as “equipe” pronounced with “kip” is commonly heard as a brand, commercials and as a borrowed word to indicate “team”. Italian sport journalists use this term a lot with a French pronunciation which can justify the confusion in English.
Thanks for that Manuela!! :D
