Let's learn some advanced C2 verbs.

And I'm going to get right to the point,

and we'll begin with our first verb, which is to linger.

So this verb actually has two different meanings.

The first one is to continue to exist.

So if I were sick and I have a cold,

I could say that it is still lingering.

And in this case, you may often hear it being used in the continuous tense with that adverb still.

That's a good adverb-verb collocation.

Something is still lingering.

How's your cold?

Unfortunately, it's still lingering.

It also means to take longer than usual to leave.

And in this case, you may be talking about a person or group of people.

Some customers lingered for a while after the shop closed,

and they just took longer than usual to leave.

When you pronounce this verb, it has two syllables.

The stress is on that first syllable, linger.

But I want to focus on that NG because it can be a little confusing.

Look at these two words.

They are not rhyming words.

Singer, you only have that ing sound,

whereas linger, you have the ing plus that g sound afterwards.

Linger.

It's similar to the word finger.

These are rhyming words.

Linger, finger.

Any of you wish to seek counseling due to lingering trauma?

Speak with me privately.

Yeah, well, it turns out that there's some lingering feelings or something.

Clark, get out of here.

My mistake.

Yes, it is your mistake.

It's lingering. So annoying.

And if you are someone who enjoys building your vocabulary,

then I hope that you linger for a while and watch more video lessons.

And I would also love it if you subscribe, turn on notifications.

That way I can become your teacher.

My name is Wes.

The channel is Interactive English.

It's all about trying to help you reach your fluency goals.

And throughout the lesson, I'm going to talk to you about how to pronounce these verbs,

because I tried to choose verbs that are a little difficult to pronounce,

or maybe confusing, or just have something about the pronunciation that I'd like to talk to you about.

Like this next verb, dole out.

This means to give something,

usually money, to several people.

And this C2 verb, it is a phrasal verb that may be separable.

So you could dole out something or dole something out.

And in order to show you how this verb may be used in context,

I have some news headlines for you.

As lawmakers dole out record surplus,

many say they need more.

Colts dole out $22.5 million for kicker Matt Gay.

This is talking about American football and yeah,

that's a lot of money to dole out for a kicker.

Should political parties be able to dole out freebies?

When pronouncing this phrasal verb,

you should know that linking is going to occur.

And we can link the final consonant sound in dole with the beginning vowel sound in out.

And this is when linking commonly occurs,

linking a final consonant sound with a beginning vowel sound

and it just helps us make a smooth transition from one word to the next.

Dole out.

It's like we're taking that consonant sound and just moving it over to the next syllable.

Dole out.

Then we have the verb pinpoint.

It also has two meanings.

The first one is to find or say the exact position in space or time of something.

I may ask you the question,

can you pinpoint our location on the map?

Because I just want to know where we are.

It also means to discover or describe the exact facts of something.

I could tell you doctors could not pinpoint the cause of his illness.

So in this case, they just could not describe the facts of his illness.

For pronunciation, the verb has two syllables.

The stress is on that first syllable, pinpoint.

And I'd also like to point out that final T.

It's really a stop T.

It's pretty subtle.

Pinpoint.

Now, if you have some lingering doubts when it comes to pronunciation,

then I'd like to tell you about the sponsor of today's lesson,

which is Elsa Speak.

because I know that, well,

many of you may be practicing for the IELTS.

100

So we can, well, practice synonyms for very.

101

And you can listen to it.

102

Both the book and the film are dreadful.

103

And then practice saying it.

104

Both the book and the film are dreadful.

105

Now let me show you what it's like if a mistake is made and I mispronounced that synonym.

106

Both the book and the film are dreadful.

108

113

And before you know it,

114

you'll sound just like a native speaker.

115

Now let's get back to our C2 verbs.

116

And the next one that I have for you is plague.

117

This means to cause worry,

118

pain, or difficulty to someone or something over a period of time.

119

And often you may follow this verb with the preposition by.

120

You have been plagued by something.

121

I could tell you that,

122

well, my athletic career has been plagued by back injuries.

123

And to be honest, I've never really had much of an athletic career.

124

That's not really true but yes,

125

over the years I have been plagued by back injuries.

126

That part is unfortunately true.

127

When it comes to pronunciation,

128

the spelling and pronunciation don't really look like they match,

129

but that final G-U-E, it's going to be pronounced with an aspirated G sound, plague.

130

But often people may use this verb as,

131

well, the past participle, in which case it's going to end with the final D sound.

132

And those consonants, that can be a difficult combination.

133

That plagued, plagued.

134

You've been plagued by something.

135

I'm plagued by an internal struggle.

136

If you would just use the bucket,

137

you'd be so much more comfortable.

138

Sunrise Bay was a coastal community plagued by a centuries-old curse.

139

Next is the verb prescribe.

140

And this is a very useful verb because it's when a doctor says what kind of treatment someone should have.

141

And it's very specific because we're really talking about someone's health.

142

And there are some common collocations with this verb because a doctor may prescribe some medicine,

143

or prescribe some pills, or prescribe some rest,

144

or even prescribe some painkillers.

145

Now this verb has two syllables,

146

and the stress is on that second syllable, prescribe.

147

And that first syllable, even though it's spelled P-R-E,

148

it has a pre sound because it's unstressed.

149

Prescribe.

150

Say it with me.

151

Prescribe.

152

Excellent.

153

Then we have the verb utter.

154

This means to say something or just make a sound with your voice.

155

So sometimes it can be interchangeable with say,

156

except that it's a bit more formal and not as commonly used.

157

Maybe I tell you, he sat through the meeting without uttering a word.

158

And that's a good collocation with this verb, without uttering a word.

159

Now to talk about the difference between utter and say is that,

160

well, utter is not always clear.

161

For pronunciation, the verb has two syllables.

162

The stress is on that first syllable, utter.

163

But what I'd really like to point out is that T,

164

I am going to pronounce it as a flat T.

165

It's going to sound like a soft D.

166

And this is pretty common with the American accent when the T comes between two vowel sounds.

167

There are many words we can say with the flap T,

168

like water, better, utter.

169

Just listen for it.

170

It was him.

171

He uttered something.

172

Oh, I'm sorry I uttered.

173

You think you're funny, don't you, bro?

174

It is the truth.

175

Utter with his own lips.

176

What she said.

177

Wasn't uttered another syllable.

178

Then we have the verb curb.

179

And to curb something means to control or limit something that is not wanted.

180

And you would try to curb something.

181

And in order to show you how this verb is used in context,

182

once again, I have some news headlines for you.

183

This phone helped me curb my screen addiction.

184

Syria agrees to curb drug trade in meeting with Arab ministers.

185

Brazil orders Google to curb campaign against fake news law.

186

And when you pronounce this verb,

187

it's pretty simple and straightforward.

188

There's just one syllable, curb.

189

But that U has more of an ER vowel sound,

190

curb, to curb something.

191

Then there's lure.

192

This means to persuade someone to do something or go somewhere by offering them something exciting.

193

And often you may follow this verb with the preposition into or to.

194

The employees were lured into working over the weekend with the promise of overtime.

195

Or universities try to lure the top academics to their school.

196

They always set those things to pay out more so they can lure people into the casino.

197

Tyler and I feel, due to Marie's attempt to lure him to your house...

198

I'm trying to lure him.

199

Very clever Simpson.

200

Luring our bees to your sugar and selling them back to us at an inflated price.

201

You're on to what now?

202

Simpson, you diabolical.

203

When you pronounce this verb,

204

just make sure that you are saying that diphthong,

205

because that U, it's gonna sound like a combination of vowel sounds.

206

Lure.

207

Say it with me.

208

Lure.

209

Lure.

210

Good.

211

Then there's indulge.

212

And I really like this verb.

213

It means to allow yourself or some other person to have something enjoyable,

214

especially more than what's good for you.

215

So you may follow this verb with the preposition in and you indulge in something.

216

Late at night, sometimes I get a little hungry and I probably shouldn't eat anything,

217

but I like to indulge in sweets and I'll have

218

some cookies or chocolate and often you may use this verb

219

when talking about food and you indulge in something

220

and you have more than what's really good for you for pronunciation there are two syllables the stress is on

221

that second syllable and that g has more of a sound indulge indulge

222

what do you like to indulge in let me know in the comments then there's delegate this means to give a job,

223

duty, or right to someone so they can do it for you.

224

And this verb is often used in the context of work

225

because you can't do everything so you may delegate certain responsibilities to other people

226

and you may also say that a boss

227

or supervisor is good at delegating and they tell others what they need to do

228

or perhaps someone is bad at delegating because they try to do everything themselves

229

and yeah that may not be a good situation so this is a very useful verb when talking about work.

230

This verb has three syllables.

231

The stress is on that first syllable, delegate.

232

Now, don't confuse this with the noun because that third syllable is pronounced differently when you say the noun delegate.

233

With the verb, you're going to use that long a sound, delegate.

234

Now, I'd also like to point out that when you use this verb in the continuous tense.

235

It's going to change from a stop T to a flap T,

236

at least with the American accent.

237

And you'd say that someone is delegating something,

238

and you're going to use that flap T.

239

Once again, just listen for it.

240

I'm delegating.

241

He's delegating.

242

Don't shy away from delegating.

243

Reconcile.

244

Great verb.

245

This means to find a way in which two situations

246

or beliefs that are opposed to each other can agree or exist together.

247

And you could hear somebody say something like,

248

we need to reconcile our differences.

249

That's a great collocation with this verb.

250

The boys appear to have reconciled their differences.

251

Rose and her daughter have reconciled their differences.

252

That's why it's important for you to reconcile your differences.

253

You could also reconcile something with something.

254

I could say, research is being done to reconcile the world's population growth with sustainability.

255

So these two things, they seem opposed,

256

but we need to reconcile them and find a way for them to exist together.

257

Growth and sustainability.

258

For pronunciation, the verb has three syllables.

259

The stress is on that first syllable.

260

And keep in mind that the C has more of an S sound.

261

Reconcile.

262

Reconcile.

263

And then there's loathe, which is a pretty powerful verb because it means to hate someone or something.

264

So loathe, just like hate,

265

it's a strong word, so be careful how you're using it.

266

But of course there are probably things that I'm sure you loathe.

267

I know there are things that I loathe,

268

like I loathe sitting at an airport when my flight has been delayed.

269

or I loathe anchovies.

270

I just don't like eating them.

271

Or I loathe driving in really bad weather conditions.

272

For pronunciation, it's just the one syllable,

273

but make sure you're using that voice TH at the end.

274

Loathe.

275

Let's say it together.

276

Loathe.

277

Loathe.

278

Nice.

279

Now for a little review.

280

I'm sure that you do not loathe building your vocabulary

281

and I hope that I can lure you into watching another video lesson

282

because even though I'm not a doctor

283

that is what I would prescribe in order for you to develop your English fluency

284

and to be honest I know it's not good to watch a lot of videos

285

and be in front of a screen

286

but in this case of course I think it's okay for you to indulge a little bit

287

and watch many different video lessons I have a lot on this channel especially vocabulary lessons in

288

which you will find me doling out words left and right

289

but in all seriousness I just want you to keep practicing keep improving

290

and I'm not going to linger around any longer I'm gonna say goodbye

291

but as always I hope that you learn something new

292

if you enjoyed the lesson please hit that like button thank you

293

so much for watching and I will see you next time. So long.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
