Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to DailyEasyEnglishExpressions.
The Budgees.
This is number 1,023.
Ooh, we have got a great expression today.
Two words, but these two words can be very confusing.
What do they mean?
Are you ready?
I'll say normal American pronunciation.
Here we go.
Mind you.
Mind you.
And proper American pronunciation.
Mind you.
Mind you.
Mind you.
M-I-N-D is the first word.
U-Y-O-U is the second word.
And again in daily pronunciation.
You get that J sound.
So it sounds like mind you.
Mind you.
Now what does this expression mean?
Basically, it means pay attention.
Or don't misunderstand what I said or what I am going to say.
Take note.
Listen carefully.
This is what it means.
Listen carefully.
Listen, don't misunderstand.
Don't assume.
Okay.
So the best way I can show you what this means is by listening to a dialogue.
Are you ready?
I want you to study with me in DTM.
Okay.
I will.
Mind you.
The classes are not free.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
How much are they?
It's true.
Yeah.
We have our summer sale right now.
So I do want you to study with me in DTM.
I want all of you to study with me in DTM.
Mind you.
The classes are not free.
Now pay attention.
Now don't misunderstand.
I want you to study with me.
But don't misunderstand.
It's not free.
You do have to pay.
It's not free.
They're on sale right now.
Huge, huge discount.
Mind you.
It's not free.
It's a really excellent expression.
Okay.
I'll give you another example.
Oh, in the hot summer days, I'm so lazy.
I don't want to exercise.
Mind you.
I did some sit-ups yesterday.
Does that make sense?
So I'm saying in the summertime, I'm lazy.
I don't want to do anything.
But for your information, pay attention.
Don't misunderstand.
I did do some sit-ups yesterday.
Do you know what sit-ups are?
If you don't know what sit-ups are, then Google it.
It's a type of exercise.
I'll give you one more example.
I've got lots of pictures online.
And some of my pictures actually look good.
I mean, I look like a handsome man.
Actually, there's one photo that I really like
where I really look good.
I think I'm a good looking man.
Mind you.
That photo was taken probably 20 years ago.
So in other words, not anymore.
This is the idea.
Mind you.
Mind you.
When you want to almost contradict something you're saying,
you want to put a caveat.
I'm giving you too many difficult words.
When you say something, but then you
want people to make sure they listen carefully
that they don't misunderstand what you said
or what you're going to say.
So everybody, this expression is a little bit difficult to use.
It's not an easy expression to use,
but you're going to see it and you're
going to hear it a lot in daily English.
So I want you to pay attention.
And I want you to see if you can understand
when other people say it.
I hope so.
We have our sale.
It's a super spectacular summer sale.
Mind you.
The sale ends on June 30th.
And right now for me, it's June 29th.
So you only have today and tomorrow.
And it's such a great deal.
DDM VIP is 25% off, 33% off, 38% off.
If you go monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
But we have brand new LME 365.
Listen to this.
This is incredible.
LME 365 is a new, it's 365 daily.
Every day, there's something new.
Now that sounds like a lot.
Oh my God, I don't have time.
Don't worry, you can skip.
You can skip days.
You can skip lessons.
That's fine.
Every day, we are going to be uploading something new,
a new lesson, a new DDM, a new perf, another DDM,
another DDM, another perf, another DDM.
120 lessons a year.
Sometimes 121, depending on the number of days, blah, blah, blah.
We've got, what was I going to say?
120 lessons.
80 DDM lessons a year, 40 perf lessons a year, plus live classes.
And people always say, I can't attend live classes
because you live in the USA.
And I live in some place else in another country.
No problem, we have classes around the clock,
different hours of the day.
Most of the lessons are on the weekends,
but we have them during the week two,
so it's really fantastic.
And by the way, DDM VIP members and perf VIP members,
they get LME 365 for free.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Oh, and what's the price?
LME 365?
Yeah, our sale price.
This is insane.
$25 a month.
And if you get quarterly, it's cheaper.
And if you get yearly, it's even cheaper.
It's unbelievable.
So this is a really excellent opportunity to join us.
If you're not sure about VIP, no problem.
Join LME 365 and you can upgrade later.
So it's a great opportunity.
It's a great sale. Mind you, the sale ends on June 30th.
Lessons begin July 1st.
And I am really excited about this.
So I hope to see you in class.
If you've already joined, yes.
