00:00:29
would probably sound like a nightmare
00:00:31
for most of us am I right
00:00:34
however linguine is just a terrible cook
00:00:36
so he more than welcomes Remy the rat's
00:00:39
extraordinary cooking skills and they
00:00:41
soon build a special friendship fun fact
00:00:45
many of the recipes that we see in this
00:00:48
movie are in fact traditional French
00:00:51
dishes just like the one that we see
00:00:54
Remy cooking here which is in fact
00:00:56
potato and leek soup so much so that the
00:00:59
scene that we've just watched inspired
00:01:01
many popular chefs they actually tried
00:01:03

00:01:06
has over 13 million views so here's what
00:01:09
we're going to do today first off you

00:02:08
garbage boy
00:02:12
cooking I'm dare you cooking my kitchen
00:02:17
where do you get the phone to even
00:02:20
attempt to fix it so Monumental
00:02:24
torn and quartered I'll do it I think
00:02:27
the law is on my side the loss
00:02:42
[Music]
00:02:44
stop that soup
00:02:49
[Music]
00:02:51
after customers enjoy the soup which
00:02:52
Remy prepared Chef Skinner instructs
00:02:54
linguine to prepare it again let's see
00:02:56
what happens
00:03:03
[Music]
00:03:05
this time I'll be paying attention very
00:03:09
close at
00:03:11
they think you might be a cook but you
00:03:14
know what I think Linguini I think you
00:03:17
are a sneaky overreaching Little Rock
00:03:24
get the ride
00:03:28
[Music]
00:03:30
what should I do now kill it no no not
00:03:34
in the kitchen are you mad do you know
00:03:36
what would happen to us if anyone knew
00:03:38
we had a lot in our kitchen
00:03:40
those Astound our reputation is hanging
00:03:42
by a thread as it is take it away from
00:03:45
here far away kill it this pose of It Go
00:03:57
es
00:04:02
garbage boy when Chef Skinner calls
00:04:06
linguine garbage boy he's insulting him
00:04:08
this is because linguine is a dishwasher
00:04:11
which is a person who is responsible for
00:04:13
washing dishes cleaning the kitchen area
00:04:15
and taking out the garbage can you guess
00:04:17
which of these words also means garbage
00:04:19
rubbish trash waste
00:04:24
foreign
00:04:28
in fact all three of them
00:04:30
check out this example sorry you went
00:04:32
through the trouble I would have told
00:04:33
you to Chuck it I don't know if you
00:04:35
don't want it throw it in the rubbish
00:04:46
we're taking out the trash
00:04:48
this street is the First Street in the
00:04:51
city to have an underground sewer system
00:04:55
before that sewage and waste would just
00:04:58
flow right down the street
00:05:01
you are cooking
00:05:04
as you probably know questions in
00:05:06
English normally have the auxiliary verb
00:05:08
preceding the subject so do you know why
00:05:11
the chef said you are cooking and not
00:05:13
are you cooking both phrases are
00:05:15
actually acceptable but they have
00:05:17
different applications are you cooking
00:05:19
is a question that asks if someone is
00:05:21
currently cooking or planning to cook in
00:05:22
the near future for example if you walk
00:05:25
into a kitchen and you see someone
00:05:26
standing in front of the stove you could
00:05:28
ask are you cooking to make sure you
00:05:29
understand what they are doing your
00:05:31
cooking can be used like in this case to
00:05:34
express surprise for example if you see
00:05:36
someone who you didn't expect to be
00:05:38
cooking you could say you are cooking
00:05:53
in this situation we use the phrase the
00:05:55
gall to describe someone's excess
00:05:57
confidence in doing something that is
00:05:59
inappropriate or disrespectful we mean
00:06:01
that the person is acting with a
00:06:03
complete lack of shame or consideration
00:06:05
for others for example she had the gall
00:06:08
task for a raise after coming in late to
00:06:09
work every day
00:06:11
we also use the Expression where do you
00:06:13
get the gall as a rhetorical question to
00:06:15
express disbelief or disapproval of
00:06:17
someone's Behavior or actions by the way
00:06:20
oratorical question is one we ask
00:06:22
without expecting an answer in the
00:06:24
previous example her boss's response to
00:06:25
this might be where do you get the gall
00:06:27
task for a raise
00:06:34
if something is described as Monumental
00:06:37
it means that it is very large
00:06:39
significant impressive or important so
00:06:43
here Chef Skinner is once again
00:06:45
insulting linguine by basically saying
00:06:46
that for him to cook would be very or
00:06:49
significantly idiotic check out this
00:06:51
other example from The Simpsons to all
00:06:53
the male participants your Monumental
00:06:55
incompetence has solid and sheep in
00:06:57
space forever
00:07:00
I'll do it I think that always on my
00:07:03
side chef Skinner is using these
00:07:05
expressions hyperbolically in an
00:07:06
exaggerated way drawing and quartering
00:07:08
refers to a cruel form of executing
00:07:11
people from medieval times more
00:07:13
literally speaking to draw in this case
00:07:15
means to pool or drag like a horse-drawn
00:07:17
carriage Decor means to cut something in
00:07:19
four pieces
00:07:22
when someone or in this case the law is
00:07:25
on your side it means that they support
00:07:27
or agree with you for example if you're
00:07:29
playing a board game with a friend
00:07:30
friend and they help you win you might
00:07:33
say thanks for being on my side or if
00:07:35
you're having an argument with someone
00:07:36
and a third person agrees with your
00:07:38
point of view you might say I'm glad
00:07:40
you're on my side
00:07:41
seriously you brought you over to take
00:07:43
your side your dad's on your side oh no
00:07:50
oh no the word blathering to describe
00:07:52
someone who talks too much often in a
00:07:54
way that is annoying or not very
00:07:55
interesting
00:07:56
about customers are asking what is new
00:07:59
what should I tell them
00:08:04
let's look at the grammar here either or
00:08:06
is conjunction used to present a choice
00:08:08
between two options it is often used in
00:08:10
a sentence to connect two nouns verbs
00:08:12
adjectives or adverbs for example either
00:08:15
you can come to the party or you can
00:08:17
stay at home
00:08:18
the opposite of either or would be
00:08:20
neither nor which basically means not
00:08:22
either of two options for example she
00:08:25
neither smiled nor said hello when she
00:08:27
saw me be careful I've noticed many
00:08:29
Learners will say or this or that or nor
00:08:32
this nor that however this is not
00:08:34
correct in English
00:08:41
you will pay attention means to focus
00:08:43
your mental effort on something or
00:08:45
someone in order to observe listen or
00:08:47
learn in this case Chef Skinner means
00:08:50
that he will be watching linguine to see
00:08:51
how he prepares the soup
00:08:54
[Music]
00:08:55
instead of one okay I'll pay attention
00:08:58
because this part's tricky Daisy you
00:09:01
might be a cook but you know what I
00:09:03
think Linguini now despite Chef
00:09:06
Skinner's French accent he still uses
00:09:08
some connected speech like a native
00:09:09
speaker when a word ending in a t sound
00:09:12
is followed by a word ending with a Y
00:09:14
sound they often morph into a sound so
00:09:17
but you becomes but you but you know
00:09:21
let's listen again
00:09:23
you know what I think linguini
00:09:29
[Music]
00:09:36
you are a sneaky overreaching little
00:09:40
Rock Chef Skinner gives us some great
00:09:43
examples in these clips of how not to
00:09:45
sound polite when you speak English
00:09:47
if you describe someone as sneaky you
00:09:50
believe that person is behaving in a way
00:09:51
that can't be trusted and that they
00:09:53
don't want to be seen by others for
00:09:55
example Tom is so sneaky he always tries
00:09:58
to find a way to cheat on tests without
00:10:00
getting caught I need your help but in
00:10:03
order to help me I need you to be sneaky
00:10:05
we can say that someone is overreaching
00:10:08
if they're trying to achieve or do more
00:10:10
than is reasonable or achievable usually
00:10:12
to gain more power control or success
00:10:14
and then they are entitled to or capable
00:10:15
of for example The Athlete's
00:10:17
overreaching desire to win the
00:10:19
championship led him to burning out this
00:10:21
year for Valentine's Day we're gonna
00:10:23
have a nice quiet dinner at Ibiza last
00:10:25
year we um
00:10:27
we overreached a little I
00:10:30
you are a sneaky we're reaching Little
00:10:34
Rock as you might know rats don't
00:10:37
usually like to be seen they often move
00:10:40
around and find food without people
00:10:41
knowing it so if you describe someone as
00:10:43
a rat you mean that that person is
00:10:45
behaving in a dishonest or sneaky way
00:10:47
and is perhaps even trying to harm
00:10:49
others for their own benefit in the
00:10:51
singing it's quite funny because Remy is
00:10:53
literally a rat you are a lonely woman
00:10:55
who can make a halfway decent Brownie
00:10:57
and we all have our little secrets clear
00:10:59
right you double crossing hand holding
00:11:01
sneaky little rat
00:11:03
oh
00:11:04
get the Run shortly
00:11:08
if you trap something you catch it using
00:11:10
an object or strategy preventing it from
00:11:12
escaping in this scene linguine traps
00:11:14
Remy in a glass jar
00:11:16
and when you have a second later I want
00:11:18
to show you why we don't just trap
00:11:19
spiders under coffee mugs and leave them
00:11:21
there do you know what would happen to
00:11:23
us if you want you weird
00:11:28
if a business in this case a restaurant
00:11:29
closes down it means that it is forced
00:11:32
to stop operating often permanently
00:11:34
we're hungry Bobby open up I can't Teddy
00:11:38
Tommy closed this down if I serve you I
00:11:40
could go to jail her reputation is
00:11:42
hanging by a child as it is reputation
00:11:44
means how a person or place is viewed by
00:11:46
others usually based on their actions
00:11:48
behavior and character so we say that
00:11:51
someone or something has a good or bad
00:11:52
reputation for example the politician
00:11:55
has had a bad reputation ever since he
00:11:57
was caught lying to the public
00:11:59
or the restaurant has a good reputation
00:12:01
for serving the best pizza in town you
00:12:03
have a reputation for a much more
00:12:05
refined approach my reputation I have a
00:12:07
reputation
00:12:09
I Googled you if something is literally
00:12:12
hanging by a thread it means that there
00:12:13
is very little keeping it attached to
00:12:15
the hole for example he was holding on
00:12:18
to the Rope but he was hanging by a
00:12:19
thread now when describing a situation
00:12:22
Pain by thread implies that it is
00:12:23
unstable and that there is only a slim
00:12:25
chance of saving something
00:12:27
for example The Athlete's Olympic Dreams
00:12:29
were hanging by a thread after she
00:12:31
suffered a serious injury
00:12:33
you're hanging on
00:12:36
I'm hanging on
00:12:39
that so if someone's reputation is
00:12:40
hanging by a thread it means that they
00:12:42
are at risk of losing the respect trust
00:12:44
or admiration of others an expression
00:12:46
that sounds quite similar is to hang in
00:12:48
there this expression is typically used
00:12:50
to encourage someone to persevere or to
00:12:52
keep going despite difficulties or
00:12:54
challenges it's a way of telling someone
00:12:56
to hold on stay strong and keep trying
00:12:59
check out this fun example from Friends
00:13:01
I'm Ted and I just moved here a month
00:13:04
ago and New York really scares me
00:13:07
all right there you go yeah you hang in
00:13:09
there Teddy
00:13:11
you know quite often traditional methods
00:13:13
can seem boring uninspiring demotivating
00:13:16
and they just make you want to give up
00:13:19
but hang in there we have a course
00:13:22
that's really going to help you to turn
00:13:23
things around it's called the flute with

up here or down description below
00:14:12
take it away from here far away kill it
00:14:15
dispose of It Go
00:14:17
if you dispose of something you get rid
00:14:19
of it usually by throwing it away or
00:14:21
selling it in this case Chef Skinner
00:14:23
wants linguine to get rid of Remy by
00:14:25
killing and throwing him away for
00:14:27
example a person might decide to dispose
00:14:29
of all clothes by donating them to a
00:14:31
charity or throwing them away in the
00:14:32
trash
00:14:33
anything left uh only the sour Quince
00:14:36
logs huh
00:14:39
dispose of it
00:14:42
[Music]
00:14:44
now linguine saves Remy and the two of
00:14:46
them realize that they could help each
00:14:47
other Remy loves cooking but since he's
00:14:49
a rat he isn't able to work as a chef
00:14:51
while Chef Skinner expects linguine to
00:14:53
recreate the soup but he has no cooking
00:14:55
skills let's watch this short scene
00:14:59
that was close are you okay up there
00:15:03
thank you
00:15:07
[Laughter]
00:15:14
how did you do that
00:15:16
[Music]
00:15:28
whoa that's strangely involuntary
00:15:31
[Music]
00:15:33
one look and I knew we had the same
00:15:36
crazy idea Remy then controls linguine
00:15:39
by tugging his hair and teaching him to
00:15:41
cook before long they become the perfect
00:15:44
team
00:15:44
[Music]
00:15:47
another
00:15:49
that should do it
00:15:54
congratulations you were able to repeat
00:15:57
your accidental success but you will
00:16:00
need to know more than soup if you are
00:16:02
to survive in my kitchen boy Colette
00:16:05
will be responsible for teaching you how
00:16:07
we do things here
00:16:12
[Music]
00:16:14
that was close that was close it's an
00:16:17
idiomatic expression that we often use
00:16:18
to express relief after we avoid a
00:16:20
potentially dangerous or risky situation
00:16:22
for example if someone almost gets hit
00:16:24
by a car while crossing the street they
00:16:26
might say that was close to express
00:16:28
relief that they were not injured here's
00:16:30
a fun example from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
00:16:37
close there's a pain in your hair are
00:16:40
you okay up there here Linguini asked
00:16:43
the question you pay up there but as you
00:16:45
can see he emits the auxiliary verb are
00:16:47
you may have noticed that it's common
00:16:49
for native speakers to admit auxiliary
00:16:51
verbs and questions especially in casual
00:16:53
conversations let's take a look at an
00:16:55
example from Finding Nemo
00:16:57
hey what you doing it's gone
00:17:01
how did you do that here we have another
00:17:04
nice example of connected speech you
00:17:06
probably noticed that the D sound and
00:17:08
the Y sound combine to make a j sound so
00:17:11
what we hear is how did you do that
00:17:14
how did you do this
00:17:27
whoa that's strangely involuntary
00:17:31
when we say something is involuntary we
00:17:34
mean that it happens automatically
00:17:35
without us choosing or deciding to do it
00:17:37
for example our heartbeat is involuntary
00:17:40
we don't have to think about making it
00:17:41
happen it just happens on its own the
00:17:44
other day you sneezed into a napkin
00:17:45
that's different oh I sneeze is
00:17:48
involuntary
00:17:51
congratulations you were able to repeat
00:17:54
your accidental success accidental
00:17:57
success means achieving something good
00:17:59
or positive without planning or
00:18:00
intending to do so it's like if you're
00:18:02
trying to do one thing but ended up
00:18:05
doing something else really well by
00:18:06

00:18:17
have to survive in my kitchen boy if you
00:18:20
refer to an adult male or female as boy
00:18:22
or girl it can be insulting because it
00:18:25
suggests that they are childish or
00:18:26
inferior and therefore less deserving
00:18:28
respect and dignity as the words boy or
00:18:31
girl are not generally disrespectful it
00:18:33
