00:22	my first podcast ever in the world . So I
00:26	am a bit nervous . Let me tell you about
00:29	let's Master English . This podcast is broken into three
00:35	parts . The first part will be news . I'll
00:39	give you a headline or an interesting story , something
00:44	that is not too serious and you're going to learn

00:58	questions and answers in this section . I take your

01:07	I'll do my best to answer them . And the
01:10	final section will be english tips advice on how you

01:23	English . So let's Master English Oh and there will
01:30	be one bonus section , A lot of people have
01:33	told me that they like the Wisconsin or the country
01:37	Shane speaking style . So country Shane will join us
01:42	in the middle to educate us . To give us
01:46	an interesting fact and you can share that fact with
01:49	your friends . I believe country Shane is getting his
01:53	facts from the factual cat and you can follow the
01:57	factual cat on twitter at factual cat now in the
02:03	future , I should add , I hope to add
02:06	interviews . What I want to do is interview other
02:10	famous english teachers , especially out there on Youtube and
02:15	maybe I'll interview some of you too . So that's
02:20	what let's Master English is going to be about .
02:24	I would love to hear from you if you have
02:27	a question or if you have a comment , please
02:30	feel free to send me an email . The email
02:34	addresses , podcast , P O D C A S
02:39	T at let's Master English dot com . That's podcast
02:47	at let's Master English dot com . So are you
02:51	ready ? Let's go for it . Mm . A
02:58	South African chef is being booted out of New Zealand
03:02	because he's too fat . The 130 kg corpulent cook
03:06	has been told his health is at risk and can
03:10	therefore no longer be allowed a work Visa With nearly
03:14	30 of the Kiwis overweight . The last thing Christ
03:18	Church wants to deal with is overly fleshy foreigners .
03:24	So how was it ? Pretty easy . No ,
03:27	I know it's quite difficult . I read it fast
03:31	. There are some new words for you . So
03:34	this time why don't I read it a little bit
03:38	more slowly , That should be easier for you .
03:42	Let's try it . A South African chef is being
03:47	booted out of New Zealand because he's too fat .
03:52	The 130 kg corpulent cook has been told his health
03:57	is at risk and can therefore no longer be allowed
04:02	a work visa With nearly 30 of the Kiwis overweight
04:08	. The last thing christ church wants to deal with
04:12	is overly fleshy foreigners . Was that a bit easier
04:19	? I hope so . But there are some words
04:21	that we need to discuss . So let's go back
04:24	to the first sentence . A South African chef .
04:28	Okay , so we know the country South Africa and
04:32	from that country there's a chef , C H E
04:35	F a chef is a cook . See okay now
04:41	my mom is a cook , even I am a
04:44	cook . Maybe you are a cook , but are
04:46	we chefs ? So we have to distinguish when we
04:51	talk about the profession chefs are professional cooks . Now
04:58	sometimes we call a person at a restaurant who cooks
05:01	meals a cook and not a chef . So when
05:05	we say chef were actually referring to somebody with very
05:11	specific training , they went to school to learn culinary
05:16	arts , that is the art of cooking . Now
05:21	, if you go to your high school cafeteria or
05:24	to Mcdonald's , we don't call those people chefs ,
05:28	we call them cooks . My mother , she's a
05:33	great cook . Sometimes she cooks like a chef ,
05:38	but I don't think she's had special training . Me
05:42	, I'm just a regular cook . So this person
05:45	is a chef that means he's a professional , a
05:48	south african chef is being booted out of new Zealand
05:54	because he's too fat . So booted out of new
05:59	Zealand , New Zealand . Once again the country booted
06:02	out . This is a phrase als verb to boot
06:06	out . It's the same as to kick out .
06:11	Now think about a boot . B . 00 T
06:14	. It's a type of footwear , like a cowboy
06:17	boot or an army boot or a work boot .
06:22	So boots are big and they're heavy booted out ,
06:27	kicked out . Oh it makes perfect sense . So
06:31	this is a new brazel verb for many of you
06:34	to boot somebody out . Have you ever been booted
06:38	out of someplace ? One time in high school I
06:42	was booted out of history class . Why ? Because
06:47	I was causing problems . Can you think of an
06:50	example when you were booted out ? So once again
06:54	this is terrible . A south african chef is being
06:58	booted out of new Zealand because he's too fat .
07:04	The 130 kg Corpulent Cook . Okay . 130 kg
07:10	. Yes , that's very big . Corpulent . C
07:15	. O . R . P . U . L
07:18	. A . N . T . Corpulent . One
07:21	more time . C . O . R P .
07:25	U L . A . N . T . Corpulent
07:29	. Corpulent means fat . It's a synonym for the
07:33	word fat . It means very big , very large
07:37	Roli poli tubby . The 130 kg Corpulent Cook .
07:45	So here we have an interesting speech pattern . We
07:50	have kilogram corpulent cook . We have coca cola .
07:56	This is called liberation . And in many news stories
08:02	the writers like to create a liberation because it sounds
08:07	interesting and it's actually easier to remember and to understand
08:13	The 130 kg Corpulent Cook has been told what was
08:19	he told . His health is at risk . Ah
08:24	Yes if you are overweight , if you are obese
08:30	then yes your health is at risk . You might
08:35	get a disease like diabetes , you might have heart
08:39	problems . So this is very serious being overweight .
08:44	So the 130 kg Corpulent Cook has been told his
08:49	health is at risk and can therefore no longer be
08:55	allowed a work visa . Okay so for several years
09:00	he has had a work visa and he's been a
09:04	chef in New Zealand . But this year when he
09:08	went to renew his visa , they said no we're
09:12	sorry you are too fat . Now actually , they
09:17	didn't tell him he was too fat . The word
09:20	fat is a rude word . I'm sure they said
09:24	you are overweight or perhaps they said you are obese
09:29	. So is that a good reason to not give
09:33	somebody a work visa ? Well , it might be
09:37	because if he's working in the country and he develops
09:42	a disease like diabetes , then he needs help and
09:47	he needs insurance and I believe in New Zealand the
09:52	government helps pay the medical bills . So that means
09:56	the government must pay for a foreigner's medical bills and
10:01	the government of New Zealand does not want to do
10:04	that . So let's look at the next sentence With
10:08	nearly 30 of the Kiwis overweight . So nearly 30
10:15	of the Kiwis are overweight . But I didn't say
10:20	are overweight . I started with with with nearly 30%
10:25	of the kiwis overweight . What is a kiwi K
10:30	I W I S plural capital K . It's a
10:34	big letter . K . Kiwis is a nickname for
10:39	New Zealanders . People from New Zealand are sometimes called
10:43	kiwis . Nearly 30 of the Kiwis are overweight .
10:50	Oh my goodness , this is a very bad situation
10:54	for the country With nearly 30 of the Kiwis overweight
10:59	. The last thing Christ Church wants to deal with
11:04	is overly fleshy foreigners . The last thing christ Church
11:10	wants to deal with christ Church . What is that
11:15	? That's the capital of New Zealand . So when
11:19	we say Christchurch , we're referring to the capital ,
11:23	the government . If we're talking about the United States
11:27	we could say Washington or Washington , D . C
11:31	. If we're talking about Russia we could say Moscow
11:35	. So when we say Moscow does not want to
11:37	talk to Washington that refers to the government . And
11:42	in this case With nearly 30 of the Kiwis overweight
11:45	. The last thing Christchurch wants to deal with .
11:49	The last thing the new Zealand government wants to handle
11:53	wants to take care of is overly fleshy foreigners .
12:01	Once again we have a liberation overly flashy foreigners overly
12:09	O . V . E . R . L .
12:11	Y . Fleshy F L . E S . H
12:15	. Y . Foreigners . So we have a VFF
12:19	overly fleshy foreigners . So overly fleshy foreigners . No
12:24	problem people from another country overly fleshy means too much
12:30	flesh . Flesh is another word for skin . So
12:34	too much flesh . Too much skin means two fat
12:38	overweight . Obese Roli poli pudgy corpulent . It's the
12:45	same idea as fat fat foreigners . Do you understand
12:50	the situation ? So once again this is actually a
12:54	serious news story . This man and his wife have
12:59	been living in New Zealand for several years . And
13:03	what's really interesting When he first came to New Zealand
13:07	, he weighed 160 kg . So he's actually lost
13:13	weight and now the government is telling him you cannot
13:18	stay . What do you think Is that fair or
13:23	unfair ? I don't know , it is unhealthy .
13:29	However , he has been losing weight . In fact
13:33	he weighs less now than when he first came to
13:37	the country . So shouldn't the country take that into
13:41	consideration ? Mm Well the wife and husband are of
13:46	course arguing this to the new Zealand government . So
13:51	I don't know what will happen but I do hope
13:54	he gets the chance to stay . There must be
13:57	a reason He and his wife left South Africa to
14:00	move to New Zealand . It must be a very
14:03	good reason so good luck to him and especially I
14:07	hope that he is able to lose more weight .
14:11	This is the first time I've ever heard of somebody's
14:15	visa being turned down because of being overweight . So
14:22	if you're thinking about immigrating to another country you might
14:26	want to get yourself in good physical shape . Now
14:31	I'm going to read this story two more times .
14:34	The first time will be a little bit slow and
14:37	I hope that you understand it perfectly . The second
14:40	time is going to be really fast . Are you
14:45	ready ? A South African chef is being booted out
14:49	of New Zealand because he's too fat . The 130
14:54	kg Corpulent Cook has been told his health is at
14:59	risk And can therefore no longer be allowed a work
15:03	visa with nearly 30 of the Kiwis overweight . The
15:08	last thing Christchurch wants to deal with is overly fleshy
15:13	foreigners . A South African chef is being booted out
15:18	of new Zealand because he's too fat . The 130
15:21	kg corpulent cook has been told his health is at
15:25	risk and can therefore no longer be allowed a work
15:28	visa with nearly 30% of the kiwis overweight . The
15:32	last thing Christchurch wants to deal with is overly fleshy
15:36	foreigners . Mhm . Okay . It's time for our
15:46	Q and A . Section . And today we have
15:48	a question from Mikhail Mikhail from Moscow , he wants
15:53	to know everything there is to know about subways .
15:58	That's a terrible question . Mikhail , how am I
16:01	supposed to answer this question ? Well I decided I'll
16:05	talk about vocabulary now actually I've only been on one
16:10	subway in America and that was in san Francisco and
16:14	the san Francisco subway system is called Bart B A
16:20	R . T . And that stands for Bay Area
16:24	rapid transport transport or transportation I'm not sure anyway .
16:30	Bart now I do live in Seoul south Korea ,
16:34	well near Seoul and in Korea some of the subway
16:39	lines are called Smart Seoul metropolitan area rapid transport .
16:48	So each city will have a different name for its
16:51	subway system . London has a different name . New
16:55	york has a different name , Chicago has a different
16:57	name . So depending on the city you go to
17:01	some of the vocabulary might be a little bit different
17:04	. So make sure you do some good research of
17:07	course when you go to the subway station you need
17:11	to have a ticket in san Francisco . They have
17:14	the Bart card that's a card that looks like a
17:18	credit card but in the card you have money You
17:21	can charge the card by putting money into the card
17:26	$10 $20 . And every time you want to use
17:31	the subway and even the buses , you swipe your
17:36	card over the reader . So when you enter the
17:39	subway station there's a gate and the gate is usually
17:43	called a turnstile . And on top of the turnstile
17:48	there's an area where you set your card and you
17:52	just put it there for a second and take it
17:54	away . And the subway fee is automatically deducted from
17:59	your card . If you don't have enough money then
18:03	you need to go to a machine . It looks
18:05	like a vending machine and it will charge your card
18:10	just like charging the battery on your phone . So
18:13	you put your card in the machine and then you
18:16	add $10 or $20 . And your card is good
18:21	to go in every city . The name of the
18:25	card is different . I think in London it's called
18:29	an oyster card . Why An oyster ? I don't
18:33	know . Also in London when they talk about the
18:37	subway , they have two words underground and tube .
18:43	So the tube is actually the subway . In America
18:46	. We just say subway , we get on the
18:49	subway and we get off the subway . Sometimes we
18:53	need to transfer trains or transfer subways so we start
18:59	on one train and then we transfer to another train
19:03	. Transfer stations can be very confusing . In new
19:07	york city , several different trains will go to the
19:11	same station to the same track . So you really
19:15	have to pay attention to the front of the train
19:19	where they have the final destination printed in some cities
19:24	. The trains or subways are named by colors .
19:29	The blue line , the green line . The orange
19:32	line . In some cities there named by the final
19:36	destination , which can be a location and it can
19:40	be a street name . For example , in new
19:42	york city , the Lexington line . I highly recommend
19:46	that you go to the city's subway site online to
19:52	get the best information but it's not that complicated .
19:56	It's actually very easy and I hope I've answered some
20:00	of your questions . Mm Yeah . How you doing
20:10	everybody ? This is country Shane and I'm here to
20:12	bring you a fact . A strawberry is not an
20:17	actual berry but a banana is this has been country
20:22	shame bringing you the facts . Oh well I don't
20:36	know . Okay . It's time for today's english tip
20:47	and come on . This is a podcast and this
20:51	is all about listening . So one really important thing
20:57	if you want to master english is you have to
21:01	use english every day . Now I know sometimes it's
21:05	very difficult to speak english . Maybe there are no
21:10	foreigners around you . Maybe your family doesn't want to
21:14	speak english with you , Maybe you're all alone .
21:18	Well even if you're alone , I want you to
21:21	repeat after me . But minimally at a minimum you
21:26	have to listen every day . That's why I'm making
21:30	this podcast . This is one tool you can use
21:34	to listen to english now . You can sit at
21:38	your desk and listen . But the nice thing about
21:41	a podcast is you can wash dishes and listen ,
21:46	you can be driving and listen . You can be
21:49	exercising , you can be doing anything and listen even
21:53	at the office , turn the volume down low and
21:57	listen podcasts are a great tool to keep you in
22:04	practice now . Only by listening . You will never
22:09	master english , but by improving your listening skills ,
22:14	you will improve your confidence and it will have an
22:18	effect on your pronunciation . So once again the tip
22:24	of the day is to listen listen to english as
22:28	much as possible . It can be my podcast ,
22:32	it can be other podcasts , it can be pop
22:35	songs . If you're Justin Bieber fan , listen to
22:40	Bieber . If you're a Queen fan , listen to
22:43	Queen whatever the music is that you like , listen
22:46	to it in english , listen to the news CNN
22:51	is pretty difficult but things like NPR that's national public
22:56	radio , that's not too bad . There are many
22:59	talk shows and radio stations that you can find online
23:04	to . Of course it's going to be really difficult
23:08	to understand everything but once again use it as background
23:13	noise , create an environment of english around you .
23:19	If you're not exercising , if you don't clean your
23:22	room , if you're not a dishwasher , this is
23:25	an excellent excuse to start start exercising just walking ,
23:31	start cleaning your room , start doing the dishes and
23:34	while you do it it will be your personal time
23:38	to listen to english , listening to a podcast ,
23:41	listening to the news , listening to a radio station
23:44	. All of these are available online if you have
23:49	a smartphone that's the easiest way . But the nice
23:53	thing about podcast is you can download them directly to
23:58	your phone and this podcast will be yours forever .
24:03	Well I'm sure eventually you will delete it and that's
24:12	then podcast number one for let's Master english Once again
24:17	, my name is Coach Shane . I hope you
24:20	enjoyed the podcast . I'm very curious as to whether
24:24	you liked it . I would like your criticism ,
24:27	your compliments and I would also like to tell you
24:31	there will be a transcript everything I said , you
24:36	can read it and I will put this on my
24:39	website and my website is not ready yet . So
24:44	hopefully I don't know by podcast three or podcast for
24:49	the website will be up and running . And then
24:53	you can go back to podcast number one And find
24:56	the transcript there . So podcast three podcast for you
25:00	have to listen to that . And then I'll give
25:03	you the the website address and you can find the
25:07	transcripts . Thank you very much , everybody . I
25:10	hope you enjoy the podcast and uh that's it and
25:15	let's master english .
