Hello, everybody! My name is Coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day.
Come on, let's master English!
Hello everybody! Welcome back to Daily Easy English expression, the podcast!
Thank you so much for listening to today's podcast. Today's podcast is brought to you by D -D -M.
My class. I will tell you about that class at the end of the podcast. today's expression is to be in its infancy.
So something is in its infancy.
In its infancy. Infancy.
I -N -F -A -N -C -Y. Infancy, that means the period of time when you were a baby.
So I was born in Texas in the United States and I live there for three months and then I moved well my mom obviously moved to Wisconsin and I grew up in Wisconsin so I spent part of my infancy in Texas and then the rest of my infancy with mom and dad in Wisconsin so did you grow up in the same town in the same state in the country?
Did you spend your infancy in the same place?
Where? Think about it.
Where did you spend your infancy?
If it's the same town maybe you can think about the neighborhood or the city.
Yeah. But this expression we don't usually think about babies.
We think about businesses or science projects.
Something like that.
So I have a plan to be the Internet's most famous English teacher But my plan is in its infancy.
It's just a baby plan.
It's not really doing anything It's still growing.
The plan is still growing.
This is a great expression Check out the dialogue How's your new company going nicely?
We're still in our infancy Have you broke even?
And not yet, maybe in six months!
Yes, especially when talking about companies, my company is still in its infancy.
It's still a baby, it's still growing, it still has a lot to learn.
They haven't even broke even.
Oh, we studied that expression yesterday to break even.
Maybe in six months.
So, right Right now, as all of you know I'm teaching online so it's a business and believe me, my online business is still in its infancy, but who knows, I'm hoping, let's see this is 2015 already, my goodness.
So maybe by 2017, maybe 2018, two three years later, hopefully then my company will be solid, good, strong, and doing well, I hope.
How is your English?
Well, if you ask me, if you are listening to this podcast, your English is no longer in its infancy.
It's growing quickly.
It's doing very well.
It's successful. But are you studying something else, maybe a different language?
Something like that.
Me, I'm studying a new software, video editing software, and it's still in its infancy.
I'm still really basic.
There's so much to learn.
It's not easy. It is not easy, that's for sure.
To be in its infancy, to be just a baby.
Still growing. This is a great expression for a plan, for a company, for an idea.
how can you use this expression?
Check out the dialog two more times and then I'll tell you about DDM.
How's your new company going?
Nicely. We're still in our infancy.
Have you broke even?

How's your new company going?

So anyway, DDM Daily Dictation Members, what is DDM?
If you don't know, it's the greatest class online, absolutely.
Absolutely, we have different levels but if you join DDMLive you actually get to talk with me twice a month.
And I've looked so many English classes out there, they're not cheap and maybe they're good classes but you don't get to talk to the teacher or the coach, that's me and this is a special class.
Everybody gets to talk to me.
We've never had anybody not be able to talk to me.
I don't think unless they came really late, but most people show up pretty early.
So I give you eight lessons a month.
For DDMLive, for DDMLite it's only four lessons a month for busy people.
And we study different subjects.
It's basically focusing on your listening ability.
Lots of people their reading is good.
They have good vocabulary.
their English grammar is good but when Americans speak blah blah blah blah they can't understand anything and that's what DDM teaches you it teaches you how to listen and it works it absolutely works.
We learn about pronunciation, how Americans actually speak English, we learn about culture, listening comprehension expressions it's it's probably you know it's I know it is the greatest online class especially for listening and pronunciation it's lots of fun and I want you to join www .lettsmasterenglish .com and then click on join classes we actually have four different DDM's there's DDM VIP which is full no spaces DDM Live come on join us anytime DDM light which is the the lighter version DDM live has eight lessons two lessons every week DDM light one lesson every week and then there's DDM open
