Hi! It's AJ Hoge the director of EffortlessEnglish

so now you know rule number one

so let's use rule number one let's learn

just to practice

just so you can

start using this rule and understand it

ok so I am going to teach you

some new phrases today

some of these phrases maybe you don't know them

so I will help you understand

our first phrase is

need some space

I need some space

what does this mean

well it means I need time alone

I need to be alone or might need

to be away from other people

so we say this when we don't want

to be with other people

so maybe I feel tired or maybe I'm busy

or many reasons but

I say it to someone

you know I need some space right now

I need some space

uh… leave me alone it means I want to be

that's that's our first new phrase

need some space

I need some space means I need to be alone

uh… I need time alone

uh… and has the idea

please leave me alone

so need some space that's our first phrase

career means job

for example I might say

to be into something means

to really love it

means you'll love it a lot

you are really focusing on it

right it's very very very important

I'm really into music

I really love music

right I'm really into music

I really lovemusic

or maybe one band one music group

uh… for example

I'm really into radiohead

I love radiohead and I love their music so

I'm really into them

I like them a lot

I love them I'd focus on them

to be into something

often we say it really

really into something means

you love it a lot you like it a lot

so I'm really into my career

it means I really love my job

so our first one was need some space

need some space means

need time alone or need to be alone

means really love my job

next we have just one word sometimes it's

ok one word but we want to remember it

we have the word nonverbal

nonverbal means

speaking or words

so usually we say

nonverbal communication

nonverbal communication

what is nonverbal communication

well communication

I can communicate that I in sad

I'm communicating right

I'm showing you I'm sad

but nonverbal communication

no speaking no words

so nonverbal communication that's our phrase

nonverbal communication

is communication without words

communication without words

or sometimes we say body language

nonverbal communication

pretty easy right not difficult

uh…

we have the word tone

tone means voice quality

voice quality for example your voice is it

loud or is it quiet

is it high or is it low

that's voice tone

so we might say

he has a high voice tone

or you might say

a low voice tone

So high voice tone means

high voice quality it's kind of tone

tone means kind of voice

or the kind of sound

so we'll just say high voice tone

high voice tone

it's kind of voice
