Speaker A
How this will work is first you'll learn important expressions that you'll hear in the dialogue in the story, and then you'll shadow as I say them.
Speaker A
So let's review "to fall apart." This means to collapse before it's finished. So yes, you can use this for a physical object. You could say, for example, the barn fell apart. It collapsed.
Speaker A
But in a business context, in a more everyday context, we use this about a plan or a deal. And in the story, they're not talking about an object.
Speaker A
They're talking about a plan or a deal. So pay attention to that context. So it fell apart. It collapsed, which means that it didn't happen the way they wanted it to. So remember this. You have to test your memory because you're going
Speaker A
to learn these very quickly, and then you'll hear them in the story. So this is a great way to test your memory. Our next one, "it came down to the wire." Oh, this is a great expression. It means
Speaker A
that it was settled. Settled in the sense that they reached an agreement or there's a conclusion. In that sense, it's settled, resolved at the very last moment. So, it came down to the wire.
Speaker A
You could use this if you're talking about getting to the airport. You could say traffic was terrible, and it came down to the wire, which means you got to the airport only minutes before they closed the gate. It came down to the
Speaker A
wire. Let's keep going. What else will you learn? Ooh. "All squared away." All squared away. Notice that pronunciation.
Speaker A
We have that "ed" sound on squared, but then we have a vowel. So, let's transfer that. Squared away. Squared away. All squared away. So, this means completely settled and sorted out, which means finalized. There's nothing left to arrange or to do. It's finalized. All
Speaker A
squared away. And how about this? To have second thoughts. Do you know this one? This is a very important expression. To have second thoughts. This means that you start doubting a decision, but this is a decision you've already made. So, you
Speaker A
say you're going to accept the job, you already signed the paper, but then the second you sign that paper, you go home and say, "Was that the right decision?" But you already made the decision. So, that's an important one: to have second
Speaker A
thoughts. To have second thoughts. Now you have some important expressions. Let's see how they're used in the dialogue. So the dialogue is between two people. You'll shadow me. So make sure when you do this after the class, you
Speaker A
open your mouth and you say this out loud as well so you can practice all of the pronunciation.
Speaker A
So, did you ever get the keys for the new place, or did the whole thing fall apart? Or did the whole thing fall apart? What does fall apart mean? Everyone, when you see the word, when you see the
Speaker A
expression that we learned, put it in the chat. So, it helps the other students and it helps you remember it because now you know the context. So, did you ever get the keys for the new place, or did the whole thing fall apart?
Speaker A
H, exactly. Or did the whole thing collapse? Metaphorically collapse in the sense that it didn't happen.
Speaker A
So, did you get the keys? Meaning you're going to either live in a new place or work in a new place, or the deal, the plan, the arrangement fell apart, didn't happen.
Speaker A
Yeah, exactly. You didn't buy it. You didn't rent it. Whatever it is, very nice to collapse. Okay, so listen for those pronunciation changes. So, did you ever get the keys for the new place, or did the whole thing fall apart?
Speaker A
We got them Friday, but honestly, it came down to the wire. Ooh. Do you remember this one? We got them Friday, but honestly, it came down to the wire. It came down to the wire. So, what's the "it"?
Speaker A
It represents the entire situation. The fact that they are getting new keys, which implies they're going to live somewhere new. We got the keys Friday, but honestly, it came down to the wire.
Speaker A
Meaning, there was some deadline. Maybe they had to sign the agreement by the end of the month.
Speaker A
And it came down to that very end point at the last moment. Exactly. At the last moment.
Speaker A
Exactly. It came down to the wire. It came down to the wire. So, you can absolutely use this when you're talking about a deadline, arriving somewhere important that has a specific timeline, like a job interview, a meeting, or the airport,
Speaker A
something like that that's on a scheduled time. It came down to the wire. Welcome. So, great having you.
Speaker A
Let's keep going. I thought it was all squared away back in August. When you first told me, I thought it was all squared away.
Speaker A
Do you remember that? All squared away. We talked about that pronunciation. Squared away. Squared away. Back in August when you first told me. I thought it was all squared away back in August when you first told me.
Speaker A
[snorts] Settled. Exactly. Exactly. And absolutely, Merrick, did anyone else notice? I was waiting for someone to notice because I said we got them Friday.
Speaker A
Now, very important for your IELTS, you need the preposition "on." However, native speakers in everyday speech, we commonly omit unnecessary words.
Speaker A
Sometimes prepositions, sometimes auxiliary verbs as well, at the beginning of questions, for example. So, this is one of those cases. Good job, Merrick. Okay. Exactly. And the pronunciation squared away. Squared away. Squared away. Yeah. I thought it was finished in the sense of being
Speaker A
resolved. Resolved or settled. There is nothing else to do. So finish in the sense that you sign the agreement if there is an agreement to sign. That's not the only way it can be squared away.
Speaker A
It can be squared away if you submit something or you buy something. There's many other ways, but in this sense, maybe you sign a contract. I thought it was all squared away back in August. So saying back in August makes it sound
Speaker A
like a long time ago. Back in August when you first told me. When you first told me. So when you first told me about the arrangement. I thought it was all squared away. Back in August when you first told me.
Speaker A
It was, ah, it was—that's short for it was all squared away. It was until the landlord had second thoughts about the lease length.
Speaker A
So the landlord had second thoughts. So remember squared away: they agreed, they had a contract or an agreement, but then the landlord put two years, three years, five years and then thought, "I don't know, prices are going to go up in five years, but
Speaker A
I just agreed to rent it for this amount for five years. That doesn't seem like a good idea." So the landlord had second thoughts. Remember the verb is have second. So have is your verb. You have to conjugate that here. It's in the past
Speaker A
simple. Second thoughts. You always need that "s" on thoughts. It was until the landlord had second thoughts about the lease length.
Speaker A
So you can tell your friend, "I'm having second thoughts about the new job. I'm having second thoughts about moving. I'm having second thoughts about disciplining my children." Whatever it can be, it can be an everyday situation.
Speaker A
It can be a work situation, family situation. You use the preposition about. The lease length means the length of the lease. The lease length. The lease is the agreement that you have between an owner and a renter to rent a space for personal or
Speaker A
professional purposes because you can have a lease for an office for a period of time.
Speaker A
All right, everyone. That was our first dialogue. So, did you enjoy that? Did you enjoy learning first and then seeing the words in context? This is a new style for me. So, let me know if you like it. Put yes, yes, yes in the
Speaker A
comments if you enjoy it. Like this lesson as well. Subscribe so you're notified every time I post a new lesson as well. Every time I go live, every time I have an update, you will get it.
Speaker A
So, make sure that you subscribe. And also, I have this free speaking guide where I share six tips on how to speak English fluently and confidently. You can get this on my website. You can find the link in the descri
Speaker A
to my website jforestenglish.com and you will see it right there. And also if you want to keep learning natural English, understand the way natives use the language and then have a full program with all the training with all the
Speaker A
guidance and with all the support that you need to become fluent. You can do that in the finally fluent academy. So you can find the link in the description or go to my website as well. All right, let's keep going. And thank you so much
Speaker A
for your support, everyone. Woohoo. I am so glad. I'm so glad it's beneficial. Awesome.
Speaker A
So, what we'll do is first you'll learn just like we did before and then you'll shadow.
Speaker A
Okay. Thank you so much for your support. Let's keep going to back out. This is important.
Speaker A
[laughter] So, nothing to do with a car because in if you're driving, back out means to reverse from a parking spot or from a space. You can back out of your driveway. So, you're driving in reverse.
Speaker A
Okay? You can back out of your driveway, back out of your garage, you can back out of a parking spot. So, it's very commonly used with driving, but it is also very commonly used in a professional context.
Speaker A
This means to withdraw from an agreement you already made. So, you sign something and you agree to put a deposit down for your new apartment and then you don't put the deposit down.
Speaker A
You back out. Oh, that's interesting. In a sense of a car, back up just means to go in reverse. So if you're parking, maybe you're too close to the car in front of you, so you tell your your friend or
Speaker A
spouse, back up a little bit. So just go in reverse. Okay? So back up is just to go in reverse. Back out is to exit a spot in reverse. So they're similar but different in the sense of driving.
Speaker A
He backed out of the meeting at the last moment. Yes. So, you can back out. So, if someone asks, "Well, where's Ted? Why isn't he here? We're supposed to sign the deal." I think he's backing out.
Speaker A
So, you can absolutely just use back out. But if you specify the noun, then you need to use the additional preposition of back out of the agreement.
Speaker A
No, it's not the same thing at all. Okay. Also, not the same thing. Just because you know another term, it doesn't mean that you can replace it.
Speaker A
They're totally different. So to commit to something, this would happen first and then hopefully you don't back out. So if you commit, you bind yourself to it. So you can't easily change your mind. Now you can commit by
Speaker A
getting a gym membership to show your commitment to going to the gym. So commit to I wanted to explain this one because to is a preposition with the expression. So the next verb will be in the jiren form.
Speaker A
I've committed to going to the gym. I've committed to my health for example. So it can be a gerand or a noun.
Speaker A
So in a business context, you might commit by signing something to show your commitment, but there are many other ways you can commit as well that don't necessarily have a legally binding signature.
Speaker A
Yeah, I've committed to learning English. Exactly. An excellent job getting the ing. I've committed to learning English. Very nice.
Speaker A
I commit to learning English and I'll never back out. Oh, back out of your commitment. [snorts] Very nice. Let's keep going. Where did that leave you? So, you're going to see this these words in the dialogue. Where did that leave you? So if someone asks,
Speaker A
okay, so the landlord is having second thoughts. So where does that leave you? It means what position are you in now after someone had second thoughts or after someone backed out, after someone failed to follow through on their commitment?
Speaker A
Where does that leave you? But in this case, it's in the past simple. Where did that leave you? Where did that leave you? So, what impact did that have on you? What is your current situation as a result? So, that's a great one to have.
Speaker A
We'd already given notice. So, notice we had that apostrophe D is had. We' weeded. we'd already given notice.
Speaker A
So, this means to formally tell a landlord or an employer that you're leaving. In North America, many companies require you to give notice. That's the expression to give notice. So, you have to either verbally or in writing say, "I am leaving my
Speaker A
position as of this day. and maybe it's one week or two weeks in the future. And your employment contract will generally tell you what notice you're required to give. And same with a landlord. You might have to give one
Speaker A
month notice. So you have to tell your landlord one month in advance that you're leaving so your landlord can find another tenant to give notice. We'd already given notice.
Speaker A
We had already given. So given is the third form. We'd already given notice. Repeat after me for that pronunciation.
Speaker A
Weed. Weed. We We'd already given notice. We'd already given notice. All right. So now you've learned some expressions. you're going to see them in the dialogue and hear them as well. So this time just focus more on the
Speaker A
pronunciation as well. So when you use this lesson again, make sure you pause and shadow after me.
Speaker A
We're continuing on. Okay, so hopefully you remember the last part of the story. So remember the landlord was having second thoughts. Second thoughts. How exactly was he actually trying to back out at that point?
Speaker A
Was he actually trying to back out at that point? Now, notice I don't have the additional preposition of because I didn't specify the noun. I didn't say back out of the lease, of the plan, of the agreement. is
Speaker A
just back out. Was he trying was he actually trying to back out at that point?
Speaker A
Pretty much. So pretty much means that yes, that is essentially what he was doing. Pretty much he wanted a 2-year term and we weren't willing to commit to that.
Speaker A
We weren't willing to commit to that. remember commit to something. Now, here we have that because it's already been established a 2-year term. If you had that information after two, then it would be in the gerand or the noun. We
Speaker A
weren't willing to commit to a 2-year term. We weren't willing to commit to leasing the apartment for two years.
Speaker A
So, he wanted a two-year term, and we weren't willing to commit to that. So, where did that leave you? Two weeks before the move, where did that leave you?
Speaker A
What impact did that have on you? What is your situation now that the landlord is not going to give you the keys to the apartment or condo? So, where did that leave you? Two weeks before the move. So, two weeks before
Speaker A
the move, emphasizing that it came down to the wire. It's at the very last moment.
Speaker A
Scrambling. We'd already given notice on the old place scrambling. I didn't explain this because I've taught this many times and I wanted to see if you remember previous vocabulary that I've taught. Now maybe you haven't watched my other videos. So
Speaker A
for you, you're off the hook. But for my students who regularly watch my videos, scrambling. I've taught this many times.
Speaker A
Scrambling. We'd already given notice on the old place. So, we talked about we'd already given notice. So, to give notice means that this person gave the landlord a written notice, email, or even just verbally said, "We're leaving at the end of the month," or
Speaker A
"We're leaving in two months," whatever the notice period was. So scrambling. Scrambling. If you're scrambling, it means you're trying to do many different things at the last minute.
Speaker A
So you might say, "The meeting was pushed up and everybody was scrambling." So the meeting is sooner than you expected, but you're not ready. You still have to finish the presentation. You have to print out the documents. You have to
Speaker A
prepare things. You have to arrange the meeting room. So, everyone was scrambling, working frantically before something happens.
Speaker A
So, that's where it left them. So, where did that leave you? Two weeks before the move. Scrambling. We'd already given notice on the old place.
Speaker A
Exactly. They have committed to leaving because remember after commit to you need the verb and ing. They have committed to leaving the oil place.
Speaker A
All right, let's move on. But remember, we're continuing with our dialogue. So remember what we just discussed [laughter] in the story. Now let's keep going. We'll learn some more and then you'll shadow and at the end we'll review everything together and then I
Speaker A
won't explain anything so you can just use it for shadowing to work something out. This is to find a solution to a problem and usually by discussing it. So couples have to do this. We got in an argument and we're
Speaker A
trying to work it out. Or we disagree on where to go for vacation, but we're trying to work it out. So, we're trying to resolve it, find a solution by discussing it. So, you can use it in your personal life and in a professional
Speaker A
situation as well to work something out. Talked him into it. Oh, this is a great expression. If you talk someone into something, it's not just talking to someone. Oh, hey. How's it going? It means that I try to convince you or
Speaker A
persuade you and you're reluctant means that you don't want to do it, but I try to get you to agree to it. So, let's say I want to go to Italy on vacation, but my husband wants to go to
Speaker A
France. So, I have to talk him into going to Italy. Oh, but think of all the delicious pasta. You've already always wanted to see the coliseum, but he doesn't want to go to Italy. So, I have to try to persuade him. I have to
Speaker A
talk him into it. to go through with it. This means that you do the difficult thing you said you do instead of bagging out. So instead of pulling out, notice here I changed it to pulling out because that's an
Speaker A
alternative to backing out. So I wanted you to see that you can pull out, you can back out.
Speaker A
Yeah, you if you talk someone into something, you persuade them to do something. But it also sounds like originally they didn't want to do that.
Speaker A
Yeah. If you want to go camping, but your friend hates camping, well then you're going to have to talk your friend into going camping.
Speaker A
Yeah, exactly. But just remember, if you use this, it sounds like your friend didn't want to do yoga. So if you just if your friend is neutral about yoga, then don't use this expression. Only use this expression if your friend doesn't
Speaker A
want to do the activity. Okay, that's important because if you tell someone, "Oh, I talked my friend into doing yoga." The person might say, "Well, why what did your friend have against yoga?
Speaker A
Why doesn't your friend like yoga?" And then if you're like, "Well, what are you talking about?" So, you have to make sure you use it in that context.
Speaker A
Welcome, Hijaki. Better late than never. So, great having you. We're learning some expressions and then you're going to see them in a story that we're going to shadow together to go through with it. So, we already talked about that. You do the difficult
Speaker A
thing instead of backing out, instead of pulling out. Yeah. I talked my kid into going to school. Exactly. Good example. because your kid probably didn't want to go to school. If that describes most children [laughter] or I talked my kid into
Speaker A
playing piano or some sport that they don't actually want to do, but you think it will be good for them for some reason.
Speaker A
How about this? A break clause. This is simply with contracts, but you can use this with a professional contract or with a a contract in your personal life like a lease agreement or a mortgage.
Speaker A
So, a break clause is just simply part of a contract that lets you end it earlier or early. So, most likely you're not probably going to use this in your daily life, but you might see it on TV
Speaker A
shows. There's always lots of legal dramas or even police shows or just hear friends talk about it in the business world. It would be common as well.
Speaker A
Yeah, exactly. So, someone could talk you into making an investment, but remember it means that you're like, I don't know, crypto is pretty pretty risky. Oh, no, no, no. Crypto is definitely a safe investment. I don't think so. No, seriously. I am making so
Speaker A
much money with crypto. Really? So, there has to be reluctance. Yeah, exactly. So, a break clause, it lets you end early. So, maybe because someone didn't respect the contract.
Speaker A
There's a certain term and you didn't respect that term. So now you can leave the contract.
Speaker A
All right. Are you ready to shadow me? And think of all these expressions that we learned together.
Speaker A
That's a terrible position to be in. Remember, they're scrambling only 2 weeks before they're supposed to get the keys.
Speaker A
They've already given notice. That's a terrible position to be in. How did you work it out?
Speaker A
How did you work it out? How did you resolve that situation? So, remember the landlord wanted 2 years. The tenant didn't want two years.
Speaker A
How did you work it out? How did you discuss it and come to a an agreement?
Speaker A
My partner talked him into an 18month term with a break clause. So my partner talked him into convinced him even though he was reluctant because remember he wanted a 2-year term. So my partner talked him into an 18month term instead of 24
Speaker A
months with a break clause. So with the option to leave the lease early if if both parties do something specific.
Speaker A
Nice. Nice. So nice is what you can use if you want to say that is a positive thing. Nice. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought he'd go through with it. I wouldn't have thought he'd go through with it. So, he being the landlord that
Speaker A
he'd agree to it, that he would sign with an 18-month and a break clause, meaning there's the option to leave the lease early.
Speaker A
Neither did I. Remember, when you agree with a negative, I wouldn't have thought. Neither did I. So, when you agree with a negative, you use neither. Neither did I.
Speaker A
He signed on Thursday without a word of complaint. So without a word of, you could say without any complaints.
Speaker A
Without any complaints, he signed the contract on Thursday. So signed, you usually sign something, but it's obvious here. He signed on Thursday without a word of complaint. without any complaints.
Speaker A
All right, let's keep going with our next section. Again, you'll learn first and then you'll shadow.
Speaker A
Yeah, my partner convinced me to do it. Exactly. So, first to swing it. This means to manage something difficult usually in the time you have.
Speaker A
So you this is very commonly used definitely when we see it in context make sure you add this to your vocabulary to swing something and in this case what you'll see in the story is it. So you have to
Speaker A
think about what is it to swing something. So you do something difficult usually in the time you have.
Speaker A
It's behind us. So if something is behind you, it means to be finished. So you no longer have to think about it.
Speaker A
And we use this with a negative situation. So ah it's behind us. We don't we don't generally use this with something positive. We use it with something negative to say, "It's in the past. I'm not going to think about it
Speaker A
now. It's behind us. It's behind us." Yeah. So, we're going to move on. We moved on. We moved on. It's behind us.
Speaker A
It's in the past. Okay. So, now you'll shadow me. And the move itself, did you manage to swing it over one weekend?
Speaker A
Did you manage to swing it? So, did you manage to accomplish it? To do it because it was difficult.
Speaker A
So to swing something means to do something difficult. So someone might ask you how you managed to swing it. If you finished a project in a short amount of time or passed your IELTS after only studying English for 3
Speaker A
months, something that sounds very difficult and the move itself, did you manage to swing it over one weekend? So, were you able to move successfully, which is very difficult to do in one weekend? So, over just means from start
Speaker A
to finish. So it's viewing the weekend as a fulltime reference. Yeah. To do it in the time you have barely. So we barely managed to swing it. But barely means that we did but it was by this much. So if if this
Speaker A
this is the amount of additional time we had. So it came down to the wire essentially barely. So they did but only with a small amount remaining.
Speaker A
We were still unpacking boxes at midnight on Sunday. So they it came down to the wire. If it was important for them to be fully unpacked by Sunday night, for example, that was the deadline they gave themselves. Maybe
Speaker A
they were having family over on Monday. Or if this is for an office that will then maybe they were having clients on Monday.
Speaker A
We were still unpacking boxes. So, unpacking, taking the things out of boxes at midnight on Sunday.
Speaker A
Well, it sounds like it all worked out in the end. So, remember, to work out means to successfully finish or to resolve the situation in a successful way. It sounds like it all worked out in the end. So, even though
Speaker A
it came down to the wire, even though you had this disagreement with your landlord, you still are in your new place, you have the keys, so it all worked out in the end. It sounds like it all worked
Speaker A
out in the end. It did. So, it did. It worked out. So, you're reaffirming, yes, it all worked out. It did. It did. I'm just glad it's behind us. It's in the past. I don't have to think about it. I don't have to
Speaker A
go back and forth with my landlord. I don't have to stress. It's behind us and we can finally settle in. So to settle in is when you feel comfortable in a new environment.
Speaker A
So when you move, of course, when you start a new job, when you start any type of routine, it takes you some time to settle in. So to feel comfortable in that new space. We specifically use it when you're moving. So to settle in, of
Speaker A
course, at first there's going to be boxes everywhere. You don't have furniture or decor, but then once you settle in, everything is unpacked.
Speaker A
Everything looks good. You feel comfortable. All right. So that's the whole conversation. Now I am going to read the conversation from start to finish. I'm not going to pause to explain anything.
Speaker A
And that way you can come back to this lesson. You can use the explanation at the beginning, but then you can use the end part just to hear the whole conversation without interruption and hear it at a natural pace. All right,
Speaker A
let's do that now. So, did you ever get the keys for the new place or did the whole thing fall apart?
Speaker A
We got them Friday, but honestly, it came down to the wire. I thought it was all squared away back in August when you first told me.
Speaker A
It was until the landlord had second thoughts about the lease length. Second thoughts, how exactly? Was he actually trying to back out at that point?
Speaker A
Pretty much he wanted a 2-year term, and we weren't willing to commit to that.
Speaker A
So, where did that leave you? Two weeks before the move. Scrambling. We'd already given notice on the old place.
Speaker A
That's a terrible position to be in. How did you work it out? My partner talked him into an 18month term with a break clause.
Speaker A
Nice. Honestly, I wouldn't have thought he'd go through with it. Neither did I. He signed on Thursday without a word of complaint.
Speaker A
And the move itself, did you manage to swing it over one weekend? Barely. We were still unpacking boxes at midnight on Sunday.
Speaker A
Well, it sounds like it all worked out in the end. It did. I'm just glad it's behind us and we can finally settle in.
Speaker A
All right, everyone. That's the story. So you learn first and then you shadowed slowly and then at the end you have the natural shadow. So there you go. Now you can use this full lesson, review it multiple times as well. And remember I
Speaker A
have this free speaking guide where I share six tips on how to speak English fluently and confidently. You can find the link in the description or go to my website and you can download it as well.

Speaker A
lesson, put yes, yes, yes. This was a new style of a lesson and a little bit different of how I normally do the shadowing. So, if you enjoyed it, let me know and I can make another one. If you
Speaker A
didn't enjoy it, let me know. I won't be offended. I always try something new, see how it goes, and then decide if I want to try it again. So, let me know if you like this style or if you prefer
Speaker A
just the normal way where we just shadow individual sentences, not necessarily a full dialogue and I explain the sentences as I go. So, let me know. I'm happy to do either way, whatever you prefer. And if you have feedback on this
Speaker A
style of lesson, any changes you would like, you can share that as well. I read all the comments, so I will make sure to make any changes based on your comments.
Speaker A
Oh, okay. You like both ways. I'm glad. I'm glad. Well, maybe I will keep doing both ways. We'll see. Thank you so much, Manuel. I appreciate your support. Oh, I'm glad you like the new words. Yeah, there were lots. I always try to add new
Speaker A
words and I try to have new words that I don't explain as well, just so you learn them more naturally.
Speaker A
Oh, I talked you into it. That's nice. I'm so glad. I'm glad you like the style. Oh, I'm glad you like the lesson.
Speaker A
Both ways. Okay. I'm glad. Oh, I'm glad you like the lesson about uh Alzheimer's. A serious topic, but it was a more positive lesson in the sense that it seems like there's some good research.
Speaker A
Yes, definitely challenging, but just remember when you learn anything new. We went through those explanations very quickly. The best thing for you is to use this lesson again, pause it, think about the explanation, try to form example sentences, write it down, think
Speaker A
about it, and then go on to the next part because truly you learned a lot in a short amount of time.
Speaker A
Oh, you like the new style. I'm so glad. Okay. Ah, articles. Nice. I'm so glad as well. All right, everyone. Keep sharing and I'll read the comments for sure to see if we should do it again this way or
Speaker A
try the old style or a little bit of both. And enjoy the rest of your week.
Speaker A
Bye.
