Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.
Today, number 1134.
This podcast is so good.
It is so good.
You're going to want to write down the expression, you're going to want to practice it again
and again and you're going to want to use it in real life.
If you do not believe what I am saying, then you can say, Coach Shane's podcast today was
highly overrated.
And that is today's expression.
Highly overrated, highly H-I-G-H-L-Y, overrated O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D.
If something is highly overrated, what that means is people are saying really great things
about the something.
But actually, it's not that great.
Let's check out a dialogue.
College is highly overrated.
What?
You need to go to college.
For STEM studies, yes.
Otherwise, no.
You're crazy.
Wow, college, university.
In America, when we talk about the university, we just say college.
College university is highly overrated.
Do you think that's true?
What?
You need to go to college.
You have to go to the university.
Everybody goes to the university.
It's so important.
Huh.
For STEM studies, yes.
And we studied STEM last time.
For STEM, science, technology, engineering, math.
Yeah, if you study a STEM degree, yes.
The university college is very important, but otherwise, no.
And the other guy says, you're crazy.
What do you think?
Is college highly overrated or is college absolutely necessary?
Hmm.
I have no idea what the answer is.
I have my opinions.
I'll give you my opinion.
And maybe I shouldn't, but who cares?
You know, WTF, right?
I have two boys and one is six, the other is four.
My desire is for them to study hard and to be really, really, really smart and to be
accepted.
My desire is for them to be accepted, A-C-C-E-P-T-E-D, to be accepted at really good universities
after high school.
You know what I mean?
So like, they apply to go to Harvard University or MIT or Stanford University or Yale University.
They apply to go to these universities and they get accepted.
Yes!
And then they say, no thanks.
I'm going to start my own business.
I'm going to do my own thing.
If that happened, I would be super happy because regarding education, my boys would be a success.
Now of course, if my boys wanted to be, for example, a doctor or some sort of nuclear
physicist or rocket scientist, of course they need to go to the university to study those
specific degrees.
But if they wanted to become businessmen, if they wanted to become entrepreneurs, then
I don't think they actually need a university degree.
I think in that case, college is highly overrated.
They can do a good job by learning on their own.
Granted, you have to have a coach.
You have to have somebody guide you, just like me, with your English.
I mean, many of you studied English.
Some of you even studied English in college.
And some of you even majored in English.
And some of you even majored in English education.
And yet you come to me.
And I'm not saying college is highly overrated.
However, it's not everything.
We need to have that practical experience, that real experience.
And we need, whatever the situation is, we need a coach.
We need somebody to guide us to become a champion.
This is so important in whatever you do, whether it's your religion, even your politics, your
job, how to be a better husband or a better wife or a better father or a better mother.
If you actually have a coach, if you actually have somebody you can go to, to ask questions
to, somebody with experience, actual experience, it's so much more valuable than studying it
in a book or studying it at a school.
Not everything, not everything, but many things.
College is highly overrated.
Sometimes that may be true.
What about Coach Shane's lessons?
Are they highly overrated?
Absolutely not.
They are the best.
I'm not joking.

All right, anyway, what kind of video, what kind of podcast is this?
I sound crazy.

and I'll talk to you next time.
