00:01Welcome to the Slowly English Listening Podcast.
00:07Together, we'll improve your English step by step.
00:12Episode 9, Family and Descriptions
00:18Hello everyone.
00:20Take a moment to think about the people you love and smile.
00:26I believe that learning English is like building a family.
00:31At first, the words are like strangers.
00:36But the more time you spend with them, the more they become your friends, and finally, they become your family.
00:45Today, I want you to feel at home.
00:50Don't worry about making mistakes.
00:54Every mistake is just a step closer to speaking perfectly.
01:00You are part of our English learning family now, and I am very proud to see you here again.
01:08Welcome to Episode 9 of English Step by Step.
01:13I am Adam.
01:16I am so happy to be here with you today.
01:20In our last episode, we talked about the weather.
01:26Today, we are going to talk about people.
01:31We will learn how to name the members of your family and how to describe what they look like.
01:38Let's start with the family tree.
01:42Repeat after me.
01:59Now, let's learn the words for the extended family.
02:04Repeat after me.
02:08Grandfather
02:10Grandmother
02:11Uncle
02:13Aunt
02:15Cousin
02:17Now, how do we describe these people?
02:22We use adjectives.
02:25Let's look at the hair and the eyes first.
02:29Repeat after me.
02:31He has brown hair.
02:35She has blonde hair.
02:38He has blue eyes.
02:41She has green eyes.
02:45Now, let's talk about height and age.
02:49Repeat after me.
02:52He is tall.
02:54She is short.
02:57He is young.
02:59She is old.
03:02Let's practice a full sentence.
03:06Imagine your father.
03:09Repeat after me.
03:12My father is tall and he has brown eyes.
03:17Now, imagine your sister or a friend.
03:22Repeat after me.
03:24My sister is young and she has long hair.
03:29Excellent.
03:31You are doing a great job describing people.
03:36Let's try a small simulation.
03:40I will describe a person, and you try to imagine them.
03:46Adam's friend is very tall.
03:48He has short, black hair and he wears glasses.
03:54Can you see him in your mind?
03:58Now, it's your turn.
04:01Tell me about one person in your family.
04:05What does your mother or father look like?
04:09Wonderful.
04:12Using these simple words is the best way to start a conversation.
04:18Here is my special tip for today.
04:22Take an old photo of your family or friends.
04:26Look at each person and try to say three things about them in English.
04:31For example, this is my uncle.
04:36He is short.
04:39He has a big smile.
04:43Doing this with photos makes the words much easier to remember because you have a visual memory.
04:50Remember, family is about connection, and language is about connection too.
04:57You are learning English to connect with the world.
05:01You are doing amazing.
05:05We are almost at episode 10.
05:09That is a very big milestone.
05:13Your consistency is your superpower.
05:17Your homework for today is this.
05:20Describe one person in your family in the comments.
05:25Tell me their relationship to you and one thing about their appearance.
05:31For example, my brother is tall.
