Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to DailyEasyEnglishExpressionsTheBudcast.
Right now for me, it is Thanksgiving Day 2022, November 24th.
If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, I hope that you have had a wonderful holiday.
For me, it's been very nice.
Not traditional Thanksgiving for us a little bit.
We didn't have the dinner.
We usually have the big dinner, but it's pretty expensive this year.
We're going to put a pause on that, but one thing I can say for sure is I am very thankful.
I'm thankful for my healthy and happy family.
It's crazy, but happy. I'm thankful to have a nice house and it's nice and warm, even though outside it's very cold.
And I'm thankful to be able to coach English as my job with a lucky person I am because I really enjoy helping people master English.
And yeah, so there you go.
It's Thanksgiving, which means tomorrow is Black Friday and Monday is Cyber Monday.
So in the US, probably maybe I'm not sure.
In your country, there are lots of sales right now, Christmas sales and stuff like that.
And we have our sale going on too.
So if you are interested in joining my listening class, DTM or my speaking class, Perth, you can do that at a great discount.
Our newsletter, get the newsletter, go to the webpage, let'smasterenglish.com.
And just go right, www.let'smasterenglish.com.
There's a button. You can click to sign up for the newsletter.
And tomorrow I will be sending out a newsletter with all the sale information.
Also, if you have not tried the free lessons, let me know.
As I always say, you can try VIP lessons for free, including live classes.
That's right. For two weeks.
For free. We don't ask anything.
Just say, I want to try and we let you try.
So I always say try before you buy.
I don't want your money unless you're ready to really master English.
Okay. Today's expression, perfect.
You cannot say that coach Shane is all talk.
Now coach Shane, he is all talk.
What does it mean if somebody is all talk?
That means he talks a lot but doesn't do anything.
He says he promises something, he says he'll do something, but he never does.
He's all talk. That person is all talk.
When we think about the typical politician, the man or woman who is in government, now some people do a great job and they actually do things.
But most of them don't. Or if they do something, it doesn't really benefit you or I.
It benefits them somehow but not you or I.
Those politicians are all talk.
A lot of online English teachers, well, not just English, a lot of online teachers.
I know for a fact, are all talk.
As an English teacher, one of my jobs is to look at other courses and that's what I do.
I sign up for not with my name obviously.
I'm not going to use my name, but I sign up to other courses and I take the classes to see what it's like.
And I'm not going to say anything about anybody in particular, but I will guarantee there are many people out there who are all talk.
So you got to be careful.
And you know what's interesting about those people who are all talk.
They just talk. They don't really do anything.
They don't offer their courses for free, not like me.
Okay, check out the dialogue and then we'll get back.
Tom says he's going to start a new software company next year.
What happened to his restaurant plans?
They fizzled. And his plan to start an online newspaper.
It dried up. I think Tom is all talk.
Wow, once again, lots of great English in this short dialogue.
It starts off Tom, T-O-M, that's a guy, a guy's name in America.
Tom says he is going to start a new software company next year.
That's great. That's wonderful.
And then the other guy says what happened to his restaurant plans?
Oh, so I guess Tom was also planning to start a restaurant.
The other guy says they fizzled, meaning the plans died.
And I think I should teach fizzled in the future.
Anyway, the plans died.
Fizzled, the spelling, F-I-Z-Z-L-E-D to fizzled, and if something fizzles, or if something has fizzled, it has died.
It is dead. That's the idea.
The next question. And his plan to start an online newspaper.
So Tom has lots of ideas.
He wants to start a new software company.
He wanted to start a restaurant, but that failed.
And now I guess he also wanted to start an online newspaper.
What happened? It dried up.
It the plan to start an online newspaper dried up.
Again, the same meaning as fizzled.
D-R-I-E-D-U-P. The plan dried up.
It dried up. It died. No water.
It died. So finally, the guy, the other guy says, I think Tom is all talk.
He's all talk. He just talks.
Talk, talk, talk. I know.
Do you know people like this?
I know people like this.
And you know what? I'll be honest.
I mean, sometimes in some areas, I'm like that.
It's true. Sometimes I am all talk.
And I'll give you an example and I'm very embarrassed to tell you this, but I'll be honest.
You guys may know that I would like to lose weight.
And I'm not, you know, super fat, but I need to lose weight.
And I would like to exercise.
I used to exercise so much as a young man, but not anymore.
But I really want to exercise.
I really want to lose some weight.
And I talk about starting and sometimes I do starts, but I don't finish.
And I haven't lost weight.
And I don't regularly exercise.
And I talk about it a lot because I really do want to.
But obviously not enough.
So I'm very embarrassed to say when it comes to exercising and losing weight so far, so far as of what's the date again?
It's November 24th, 2022.
Cochaine is all talk. Who knows?
Tomorrow things may change.
I'm not making a promise.
But I really do. I'm sincerely in my heart.
I sense that I want to lose weight and I want to exercise.
I'm just busy. I really am busy.
Life is crazy. But I know since I'm not doing it, Cochaine is all talk.
He talks about it, but he doesn't do it.
That's very embarrassing.
I'm serious. I'm very embarrassed about that.
Maybe there's something about you where you are all talk, maybe.
If not, that's great. I respect you.
But usually all of us, in some area, or when it comes to teaching English, I am not all talk.
Okay? You can ask my students.
I 110%, I put into my lessons.
But when it comes to exercise, I hate to admit that I am so far as of today anyway, all talk up until today.
Anyway, that's very embarrassing.
As I said, Black Friday is tomorrow.
Cyber Monday is on Monday.
Black Friday is the traditional day that stores in America have huge sales so that people can buy lots of nice presents for Christmas.
And Cyber Monday is a recent event since the internet.
And that's where the online stores typically have their online sales.
Once again, especially for Christmas shopping.
I think around the world, everybody kind of follows this.
I'm not too sure. I don't know what it's like in China or in Germany, but I'm guessing it might be similar.
In America, that is the way it is.
And since I'm in America, I follow that.
So we have our sale. It starts tomorrow tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the 25th. Friday, November 25th is the beginning of the sale.
And when does it end? I don't know.
It might end the 28th. I think traditionally it ends the 28th.
I'm not exactly sure. So you might only have three days, about three days for the sale.
But the sale is fantastic.
It is for 2023 memberships.
So let's say, for example, you sign up, you're a new person and you sign up tomorrow.
Okay? That's great. We'll send you, when we see that, we'll send you a welcome letter.
And lessons actually begin January 1st.
Now if you want lessons in December, I can do that.
And I'll give you a massive discount.
Whatever you sign up for, I'll give you a pro-rated monthly rate.
So I can definitely do that, but you're going to have to let us know.
Otherwise, if you sign up for the Black Friday Cyber Monday sale, just remember, all lessons begin January 1st.
That's it. You don't, I'm sorry.
You don't say his last podcast.
Is all talk. Coach Shane is all talk when it comes to exercising and losing weight.
But when it comes to teaching English, oh, Coach Shane is the best.
Really? That's it. Check out the dialogue two more times.
And together, let's master English.
Tom says he's going to start a new software company next year.
What happened to his restaurant plans?
Oh, they fizzled. And his plan to start an online newspaper?
It dried up. I think Tom is all talk.
