Thank you very much for the words perfected pronounced by the quintessence of English language teaching. I also thank you for our coincidence in Latin words both in Spanish and English language (some of them with different meanings).
The dulcet tones of a pristine English voice, almost ethereal, saved this Logophile across the pond from his midlife angst, and blessed him with an epiphany: why not subscribe to the channel of this ineffably appealing teacher of English, and learn the quintessence of the love of language? Far more than a momentary euphoria, the knowledge and joy would last an eternity! A thing of beauty, not to be approached surreptitiously for nefarious purposes: he shall cherish the plethora of wisdom imparted to him all the way to his docile waning years.
How beautiful ! You used one of my favourite English word: POND - It is also one of my favourites in French ''ÉTANG'' WE DON'T PRONOUNCE THE LETTER ''G''
An epiphany is an ineffable experience, Lucy. It's more than appealing, and even sublime. Generally any angst quickly attenuates, euphoria rises and its something cherished for eternity. It is the Universe's quintessence offering selected from the plethora of pristine choices.
Living as we do in a time of such utter disdain for language and learning in popular culture, I find it utterly compelling to discover your obvious love and appreciation of English, and your sharing it with all of us. It's a delight to watch and listen to you.
So I'm reading one of the books written by Haemin Sunim and I note down a lot of words from that book. Before I watch this video,I was just searching the words' meaning on Cambridge dictionary. Surprisingly, when I go to youtube, I just had an urge to watch this video and here comes the beautiful words from the book such as angst and ineffable.Both of the words will become my fav words ever. Thank you for the amazing content and for those who've been trying,struggling and putting up with everything, it's never too late to read that book.I promise you won't regret. The book's name is "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down".
Nice lesson on Greek and Latin. I t would be interesting to give the analysis of each word, as it is very interesting(I know) and very easy to understand .
I didn’t realize that the words were so beautiful until I heard You pronounce them. Perhaps it’s because my pronunciation sucks. Anyway, you pronounce every word beautifully. Methinks you savor every word and that makes your words sound beautiful.
Hello Lucy, I just happened upon this video and it caught my interest. My one and only language is English but I'm a Logophile and I absolutely love beautifully written novels. Lucky I have a dictionary on my phone! I also journal most days and find that I'm always searching for the perfect word to make my writings more interesting. I've signed up for your lessons and can't wait to broaden my vocabulary.
I love the word you mention whilst discussing some of these words. I think beautiful is beautiful to say and listen to. And you say it beautifully with your lovely accent. Your pronunciation and story of 'ethereal' was cute, and knowledge of vowel sounds, open and closed syllables and r controlled syllables, and of course many more spelling rules as taught in structured literacy, hopefully helps now.

At least one of those beautiful words origins from German. It’s the word “angst” and it’s the only one I don’t like. In German, it’s often used as an idiom “German angst” , and it describes an all around fearful pessimistic approach to problems or a crisis. Phonetically I do not like the accumulation of consonants very much.
Hi Lucy, Thank you for all the material you create for us. One question about "ineffable", is it always on a positive meaning ? In french it is not the case, and maybe the opposite. And I can remember when I tried to read books in english, having seeing it in a HP Lovecraft book, and obviously it can't be a positive use.
Hi Lucy! I really love your channel, and this lesson was truly ineffable. 😉As a Norwegian, I was surprised to learn that "angst" was an English word. It has the same meaning in Norwegian, and it's also spelled and pronounced the same way. I am quite the nerdy Anglophile, so now I am trying to eradicate all American words and, consistently, try to use British English. Your channel is helping me with that as well. 🙂
@@lucatampellini9734 Did you mean "lad" with one 'A'? It has its roots in Old Norse, and it's thought to signify "boy" or "young man," carrying a similar meaning in English. I'll guess it has become a part of the English lexicon during the Viking era. I don't know how regularly it's used in English nowadays. 🤔 I have heard it been used in some old movies.
I love your spiritual side - I love your soul - your Words touch my soul when you write about Epiphany - I discover you have a treasure in ur soul - besides you look adorable-excuse me I’m excited
High Lucy, I have enjoyed the lesson of 15 uncommon words and learned new words that I couldn't even be able to pronounce. My knowledge in English is enhancing bit by bit. Kind regards
I'm thrilled to come across a classic Lucy video! It brings back memories of when I first started learning English with Luce as my only guide. I adored those moments, and I hope you'll continue creating such videos. Sending love from Ethiopia.
Dear Lucy, I love these words (and your lessons) as well. I wasn't aware of this particular meaning of "quintessence". In German, "Quintessenz" means only "the main idea, thought, content" (acc. to Duden Online). Cheers, Dino, a terminologist from Switzerland
According to Merriam-Webster, the word has this meaning in English as well: "the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form". But I was quite surprised, that the word is pronounced "quin-tes-sence" in English. In German we say "Quint-es-senz" (the t belongs to the first syllable). Which is probably a bit closer to the word's origin, which is the Medieval Latin "quinta essentia".
I realized my English language vocabulary deteriorated in the last couple of years. I try listening to the BBC and read when I can so, now I can learn and improve my English!
I loved the appealing and ineffable skill of your presentation. I find 'texting' a nefarious use of English, a language with many ethereal words and expressions. This lovely video was quite an epiphany for me, dissolving the angst I experience from the 'Z' generation's ignorance and lack of respect for our beautiful tongue. The euphoria generated by your winsom words will make me cherish this experience for an eternity as the quintessence of how English should be taught. I look forward to a plethora of further lessons knowing they will likely be just as pristine as this one. I will try to surreptitiously introduce these words into my vocabulary to avoid appearing pretentious to my friends and colleagues. Please know how much I enjoyed your dulcet vocalisations and how I hope my rather aggressive feelings on the subject, thanks to so much misuse, (even by BBC and other media presenters), will now be more docile.
Beautiful words indeed. Just the word “epiphany” I can't get used to because it's a big religious holiday all over the Orthodox world and internationally we know it as Epiphany. ☺️ I even have a friend whose name is Epiphany.
Thank you for another great post. Somehow I was almost expecting to see the word “serendipity” on the list of your top 15 words. I guess it’s not a word many of us use in every day interactions 😮

Mine is submissive.
I always think that as it starts 'sub' it should be describing something inferior!

I like the word serendipity - a happy accident at being at the right place and at the right time

Fully agree. Lucy is a pleasure to listen to. Bravo.
What a beautiful selection of English words. I can totally understand why you have chosen them. Your pronouciation makes them even more beautiful.
I do use several of these, but a word I like and seldom hear is “commence.” It’s such a lovely word for its meaning.
Lucy's giggling at herself at @4:36 is priceless! One of the reasons why I love her and her channel! Keep up the good work!
I could fall for her good and proper. Unfortunately it's 40 years too late for me!
It was with a fortunate stroke of serendipity that I chanced upon your channel.
I like the word "Resplendent" as it so perfectly describes this English teacher.
Mam, Beautiful Collection!! It would have been perfect in my eyes, were you to include 'diaphanous' in place of docile 😊😊

so dulcet🙂

I followed Lucy since 2020, and now I am in her country (UK)
I love UK accents, but it varies according to different places all over the UK
I also love those words and use them when I want to sound sophisticated. They also exist in Spanish and Italian with almost the same pronunciation!

I will try learning English with your lessons
Your way of teaching English is really wonderful. I love it. Thanks.
Thanks a bunch Mam Lucy for your stunningly video teaching lesson, it helped a lot to my vocabulary...
Imagine uma aula particular com esta professora. Que didática excelente!
I'm a native english speaker. I'm so delighted that you explained "ineffable". And your poop joke was superb😂
I love these words! I use a lot of them on a regular basis
Ineffable is a wonderful word, and one I dont even use as an English speaker, but now I want to use it.
One of my favorites is "perspicuous" because it is an unclear word meaning clear. Love it.
I love your classes, because of the way you make them so simple.
Thank you. I'm watching in Uzbekistan🇺🇿
I think these 'sophisticated' words come, at least 80% of them, from latin, since, as Italian, I am able to understand them from my native language

@@GabrieleAnna this is really curious. Thank you. Indeed, angst has no correlation with Italian vocabulary, this was new to me.
Try Greek.
Angst is german
@@Dr_LK Absolutely! Now I like the word a little bit more - at least it originates from a sophisticated language and old culture😊.
