English for Beginner Level: Speak Real English

Vanessa, from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com, expresses surprise at the number of her students who identify as beginners in English. She apologizes for the lack of content for this level and introduces a new beginner course she has created, the Fearless Fluency Club Beginner. The course aims to cover topics like family, food, housing, travel, and free time activities, providing a solid foundation for English learners. Vanessa offers a free sample module about 'the house' and encourages students to use subtitles for better understanding. Additionally, she provides a free PDF worksheet with vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and a challenge question to reinforce the lesson's content.

In this paragraph, Vanessa and Dan engage in a conversation about cleaning the house. They discuss finding cleaning supplies, doing laundry, and tidying up various rooms. The dialogue is designed to help learners practice the vocabulary and phrases related to house cleaning. Vanessa also mentions the importance of the conversation breakdown method for understanding real conversations and learning practical language. The conversation ends with a surprise discovery of Dan's lost hockey stick under the couch.

Vanessa presents a vocabulary lesson focused on cleaning and organizing. She teaches common verbs such as 'clean', 'tidy up', 'lock', and 'find', using them in context with sentences that learners are encouraged to repeat out loud. She also introduces various household items and furniture, describing their typical locations within a house, such as the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The lesson aims to familiarize learners with the vocabulary needed to talk about their home environment.

Vanessa conducts a grammar lesson on prepositions of place, explaining the use of 'above', 'on top of', 'on', 'under', 'below', 'underneath', 'beneath', 'behind', 'in front of', 'between', 'beside', 'next to', 'near', 'close by', 'by', 'in', 'inside', 'out of', 'outside', and 'outside of'. Each preposition is exemplified with sentences for learners to practice. Mini-quizzes are provided throughout the lesson to test understanding, with emphasis on the correct use of these prepositions in everyday situations.

Vanessa focuses on pronunciation, specifically the use of contractions in English. She explains that contractions combine two words and often replace an 'o' with an apostrophe, as in 'is not' becoming 'isn't'. The lesson covers contractions with the verb 'to be', such as 'I'm', 'you're', 'he's', 'she's', 'it's', 'we're', and 'they're', as well as contractions with 'do' and 'will'. Vanessa emphasizes the importance of speaking out loud to practice these contractions for more natural English speech.

In this interactive speaking lesson, Vanessa poses questions from the vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation lessons to encourage learners to speak out loud. She provides examples of how to answer the questions using full sentences and the appropriate contractions. Vanessa emphasizes the importance of active participation and suggests pausing the video for additional practice time. The goal is to improve fluency and confidence in spoken English.

Vanessa invites learners to join the Fearless Fluency Club, which offers access to MP3 versions, subtitles, PDF transcripts, and a lesson guide for each module. The club also provides a community of English learners for practice and social interaction. Members can engage in speaking activities on various platforms and participate in live lessons hosted by Vanessa on the club's private Facebook group. She encourages viewers to join the club to start speaking authentic American English.

Vanessa concludes the script by encouraging learners to download a free PDF worksheet to solidify their learning and become confident English speakers. She also reminds viewers to subscribe to her YouTube channel for weekly English lessons and asks them to comment on who cleans their house. Vanessa thanks everyone for learning English with her and looks forward to the next lesson.
