Describing Trends in English | Idioms and Slang
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 06. 2024
- Use English idioms and current slang to talk about what’s cool right now… and what’s not.
When I hear my students talk about their favorite podcast or the newest Netflix series, I typically hear, “It’s so popular right now.”
And that works perfectly well.
But when describing trends in English, there is an exciting world of English idioms and slang we can use.
In this Confident English lesson, you’ll learn some of the same language you might hear right now on podcasts, TV shows, and more.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
01:58 - Hot like fire
04:17 - Cool like water
06:40 - A trend like a trend
07:29 - Eye-roll worthy
09:34 - Practice

This is truly one of the best lessons ever. I loved it so much. Since I'm a new immigrant to the US, learning the English language is not only about grammar and rules. But, it also expands to include such idioms and slang expressions.
Fantastic! I'm glad the lesson was helpful to you!
Anna Marie, Thank you very much!

Hello Annemarie, your lesson was absolutely rewarding to me. Here are some examples of what I've learnt from your lesson.
1) I'm so over hearing about the rise in fossil fuels' cost nowadays.
2) The cryptocurrency has been making a splash in recent 5 years.
3) learning English is so hot in Russia right now
4) Dyeing hairs in an odd colour is trending right now
Please feel free to correct mistakes 😊 I was delightful to find your lessons online. Keep on doing such a good cause 🙏
Great job! Thanks for sharing your examples.
Let's make one adjustment in example 1.
We can use either "... hearing about the rise in" something or "I'm so over rising fossil fuels' cost..."
How might you update your example?
@@Speakconfidentenglish Many thanks for your time🙂
I'm so over talking about the pandemic. Everyone is? Thank you Annemarie for the very useful lesson. I found your channel 3 weeks ago and I have to tell you, it is always very pleasant to see you teaching, explaining. You look marvellous. You are making waves in our household right now! Cheers. btw. Are you related to Julia Roberts? ; )
Great example with "I'm so over..." And I think you're right. Many people are ready to move on.
I'm glad to know you've recently found my channel and that it's helpful to you. Thank you.
In India, it's Navaratri season right now, dressing up in bright colours is so much in trend now
Done is done. Let's see what's remains in future.

In my country Mexico , the city Monterrey it´s on trend now because they are running out of water, and this situation is making waves because people are angry and they are suffering because they cannot find water for basic needs
I'm from Brazil and we're in spring here. So candy colors are so hot right now. It's been spreading like wildfire and even nail polishes have got these colors. Although it is so trending, I'm totally done with it. Actually, I heard neon is making waves and I'm prety sure it's going to a make a splash. (It's not totally true, I just made a text using the expressions I've just learned.) =]
Fantastic examples, thank you for sharing! 😀
Having picnics is making a splash right now when lockdown is preventing all other activities.
Great example with "making a splash..." 👏

Believe me new application is 🔥
I´m afraid I´m not hot right now....:>Thanks for your lessons.
Hello Annemarie, thank you so much for making this video. Could you make more videos please about idioms? I noticed that it is an ongoing practice here in the US to use so many idioms almost all the time. I would love to see more idioms ( e.g break a leg, he was pulling your leg, poke the bear) and so on those that are used in common settings for example to express strong opinions, actions, best practices, confidence, trust, and so on. Thank you so much wonderful video just what I was looking for.
Hi, Haifa! Thank you for the video suggestion! I will add it as a future topic! 😀
@@Speakconfidentenglish Thank you so much Wohooo I will be waiting
it's excellent class
Wonderful lesson ! Thanks ! You are the best teacher as always ...
Thank you! 😃
Thank you for sharing trending phrases. I get older and I am a non-native English speaker so I might not abele to use these phrases. But just knowing these meanings makes it easier to have a have a conversation with native English speakers. Let's answer your question!! ♪ What I'm trending right now is to generously apply a low-priced cosmetology cream for anti-aging. ♪ I'm so over learning English with a textbook. ♪It's a making splash that Alexa has been listening to my English these days. That's all. If you have time, would you please correct my answer above.
Thanks so much for sharing your examples, Yuko!
I'd like to focus on one adjustment for your first example. It sounds like the anti-aging cream is trending, is that right? It's something a lot of people are using, not just you. Because the cream is a thing, we wouldn't use "I'm." Can you think of another way to say this?
For example, "A low-priced cosmetology cream for anti-aging ________."
@@Speakconfidentenglish I highly appreciate your courteous reply during busy time. It will take a little longer to reconstruct my phrase you adjusted. I will try to do it again!! Thank you for getting me to learn English every time. Please take care of yourself.
The series The Reign in Netflix is hot like 🔥 fire I really recommend it.💋

I am an english teacher and really appreciate all your videos.l have a problème with Somme phrasal verbs,I listent to native speaker almost everyday but still can't mémorise all of them.how can you hello me?
Thanks for the question. Phrasal verbs certainly are a challenge. There are so many of them that it's nearly impossible to know them all. The best approach is a slow but steady approach. Select a small list (maybe 4-5) phrasal verbs you want to learn each week. Practice every day with the same phrasal verbs. I have several videos on learning and remembering new vocabulary here on CZcams for methods you can follow.
"Hot like water" at 2:00.😊
Thanks so much for your videos, they are really useful to me, about the questions... I'm so over about the fake news of the pandemic because these are making a splash, and people that still say the virus doesn't exist. I understand that they have doubts about the vaccine, it's totally respectable but this is another thing.
You are very welcome, Carolina Morales! I'm thrilled to know my videos are helpful to you!
Real Estate market in my place is Hot like fire.
I'm so over hearing about celebrity marriage issue in my country. that news is always on the news channel and the socmed.
Hi mam,
When u start describing "hot like fire"
U mispronounced it as hot like water🙄
I like your videos... great👍
I’m so over of home staying, and we can’t not go to school in person learning.
We should use " cool like ice" it's better.😃
Am so over talking about changes in social media particularly WhatsApp
Answer : - I think we all are so over about this pandemic! And I am at the epicenter of it here in Brazil. So, in such situation nothing is making a splash right now in my life!
Thank you for sharing your examples and I think you're right. Many people are ready to move on.
