Vocabulary from “Our Language Learning Experiences”? Nuestro video para mejorar tu listening

To be into something – If you are “into something”, it means that you are very interested by it.

I’m really into rap music.

I’m really into languages and cooking.

Some other ways to say this:

To be keen on

To be fond of

To be obsessed with

And remember, after a proposition we always write +ING

To be stuck – If you are stuck, you cannot move. This word comes from the verb “stick”, which is to attach something to something else, using a material like glue.

When I reached C1 in Spanish, I started to feel like I was stuck.

You can read more about “stuck” in the article on the word “Jam“, I bet you don’t know all the meanings.

Some other ways to say this:

To feel stagnant

Not to progress

Struggle to move forward

Do you sometimes feel stuck when trying to get better in English?

Insightful – Something insightful gives you a better understanding. You may go to an insightful speech about feminism which helps you understand the ins and outs of the topic.

Casey gave an insightful presentation about how to improve your skills in job interviews.

If you didn’t know ins and outs, “to know the ins and outs of something” is to know a lot about it.

To roll one’s eyes – To move your eyes up to express that you are bored or annoyed by something.

My dad rolled his eyes when I asked him for money for the fifth time this year.

To bring something up – This is to start to talk about something or maybe to mention a new topic. In Spanish you can say “sacar un tema”.

When you meet John, don’t bring up his weird eye. He’s very sensitive about it!

Utilitarian – Something utilitarian is designed to be useful or practical and focuses on the uses of it.

My car is a completely utilitarian object for me. I really don’t care about how it looks.

Get by – survive – this means to live on the things you have. In Spanish you can say, sobrevivir or apañarse.

John doesn’t have enough money to eat, pay the bills and to get the bus, but he is sure he will get by.

Complete and utter – This is a synonym for totally or absolutely.

This book was complete and utter garbage! I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Conclusion of our listening exercise:

If you’re here, that means you wanted to learn more English – and that’s great! All of us from the IEP videos, Casey, Josh, Irene and Rachel, have gone through and continue to go through the struggle of learning another language. While we know it can be difficult, it’s also the most rewarding thing we have ever done and we wouldn’t be making this content if we hadn’t. So, DON’T GIVE UP! Keep working hard. Don’t stop studying.

Subscribe, and don’t miss out on any future videos!
