  • Hi.

  • Yeah.

  • Today you will learn English with Harry Potter and the magical sport of the wizarding world.

  • Quidditch.

  • And if you're new here, every single week, we make fun lessons just like this one so that you can learn to understand fast speaking natives without getting lost, without missing the jokes and without subtitles, Krishna says that he feels like he's finally learning the English that natives really speak and you will too.

  • All you have to do is hit that subscribe button and above and glow.

  • So you don't miss any of our new lessons.

  • Quidditch is easy enough to understand.

  • Each team has seven players, three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker.

  • That's you.

  • There are three cans of balls.

  • This one's called the quaffle.

  • Now the chasers handle the quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops.

  • The keeper.

  • That's me, defends the hoops with me so far.

  • I think so.

  • One of those you better take this.

  • I look after careful.

  • Now it's coming back.

  • Not bad potter.

  • You'd make a fair beater.

  • Uh oh, with the, with the, I know.

  • How was that Bludger?

  • Nasty little buggers.

  • But you not a seeker.

  • The only thing I want you to worry about is this the golden snitch?

  • I like this, Paul.

  • Ah, you like it now.

  • Just wait, it's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see what'll I do with it.

  • You catch it before the other team seek her.

  • You catch this, the game is over.

  • You catch this potter and we win.

  • Yeah.

  • Quidditch is easy enough to understand.

  • Each team has seven players, three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker.

  • So quidditch is a sport full of specific terms and names.

  • Some of the words are completely made up that is they don't make any sense in real English.

  • Other words actually mean something and can be interpreted without much of an explanation.

  • So wood says that every quidditch team is made up of seven players being divided into three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and the seeker.

  • Let's you, there are three kinds of balls.

  • This one's called the quaffle.

  • Now the chasers handle the quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops.

  • So he explains that players called the chasers handle the ball, named the quaffle and try to score points by putting it through the hoops.

  • A hoop is a large ring of wood, metal or similar material like a basketball hoop or the piece that holds a barrel together to handle something.

  • In this case is to hold and control something with the hands, check out this example, Jack are the letters given back.

  • No would persuade me.

  • You do me a will taught me how to handle a sword.

  • And the word chaser comes from the verb to chase.

  • If you are chasing someone or chasing after someone, you are following them quickly in order to catch or reach them, start the van.

  • Hey, now the chasers handle the quaffle and tried to put it through one of those three hoops, the keeper, that's me defends the hips.

  • So wood tells Harry that he plays the keeper position, the keeper much like the goalkeeper or goalie in some real sports such as soccer and hockey is the player responsible for defending the goal area and stopping the other team from scoring.

  • What are those?

  • You better take this, you better as an idiom meaning should or need to, especially when advising someone to do something.

  • So you better take this literally means something like it would be better if you took this.

  • You better stand back.

  • Let's go.

  • It is actually a colloquial way to say you had better after contracting the word had.

  • So normally proper English would require you to say or write, you'd better.

  • However, the way the D in sounds when said against the B and better makes it almost inaudible.

  • You can barely hear it as a result.

  • Many English speakers end up saying and even writing you better, not bad potter, you'd make a fair beater, the player called beater.

  • Does exactly what Harry just did.

  • They beat the bludger ball with a bat.

  • So we hear Oliver say that Harry would make a fair beater.

  • Although the adjective fair is mostly used in the sense of justice.

  • It can also refer to the level of quality of something or somebody meaning ordinary or acceptable example.

  • The movie wasn't great but it wasn't bad either.

  • I thought the actors gave a fair performance.

  • Come on, Polar, what are your strengths?

  • Um, I don't know.

  • Well, I can fly.

  • I mean, I'm a fair flyer but I better than fair the way I heard it.

  • So wood is saying that Harry would make a fair beater.

  • He could play as a beater and it wouldn't be that bad.

  • Above average, a bad potter.

  • You'd make a fair beater.

  • Uh oh, in Quidditch, the Bludger is a heavy ball that magically moves through the air by itself as if it were alive.

  • Trying to hit and knock down players f watch yourself.

  • All right.

  • Good.

  • Look out.

  • Right.

  • They are.

  • Hey, do you want to learn the vocabulary that you actually need to understand natives and communicate confidently?

  • Well, we have a really fun way for you to get it with our fluent with friends.

  • How was that bludgeon?

  • Even though this is a made up word from the wizarding world, it reads and sounds similar to the verb to bludgeon meaning to hit someone hard and repeatedly with a heavy weapon.

  • So wood informally calls the Bludgers nasty little buggers.

  • Bludger, nasty little buggers.

  • In this sense, the adjective nasty refers to something or somebody that behaves in a bad or very unpleasant way that is dangerous, unkind or violent X factor.

  • It, I didn't expect you to do it the first time.

  • That would have been remarkable here.

  • Need this.

  • You'll feel better.

  • That's one nasty dementor bugger is a slang expression used to refer to a silly or annoying person animal or thing I feel.

  • Oh God.

  • Ok.

  • Just a cat out of nowhere.

  • Just a cat.

  • We're all right.

  • We'll go upstairs.

  • Let's look upstairs.

  • Come on.

  • Oh, goddamn it, Jesus.

  • How many cats do they have?

  • It's the same one I think really quick little bugger, huh?

  • But you not a seeker.

  • So, the player known as the seeker is the one responsible for chasing after and catching the golden snitch ball to seek is to try to find or get something especially something that is not a physical object like a job or an opportunity.

  • Example, if you're not feeling better by the end of the day, seek medical attention, simply seek the boy yourself.

  • I do not need to seek the boy before the night is out.

  • He will come to me.

  • Do you understand?

  • The only thing I want you to worry about is this the golden snitch?

  • Finally, Oliver introduces Harry to the ball called the golden snitch.

  • It is golden because it's colored like gold or it's made of gold.

  • Now, the name Snitch in real English comes from the verb to snitch.

  • If you snitch something, you steal it quickly and quietly.

  • I like this.

  • Paul.

  • Ah, you're liking that.

  • Just wait.

  • It's wicked fast and dominant.

  • Impossible to see in this sentence.

  • The slang expressions wicked and damn function as adjectives and are used with the same effect to give emphasis.

  • So he is saying that the golden snitch isn't just fast.

  • It's wicked fast.

  • It's super fast.

  • Hello?

  • Hi Deeds.

  • It's Pam.

  • Pam Dawson.

  • I'm so happy you called.

  • I'm wicked sorry about last night.

  • I just, I don't drink very often.

  • Ok.

  • Well, so and well done for week and it isn't simply near impossible to see.

  • It's damn near impossible to see.

  • Ok.

  • I say no one of these wizards allowed in today.

  • Shut the damn door.

  • So I, what will I do with it?

  • You catch it before the other team seek her, you catch this, the game is over.

  • Have you heard the popular gaming expression game over?

  • Although most English learners know of these words, many don't actually understand the meaning of the word over in this collocation in this application.

  • If something is said to be over, it is finished, it has reached the end.

  • So you can actually collocate it with any other noun.

  • You would like to not just with sports games.

  • For example, you can say that the movie is over, the day is over or even that you are over something, meaning that you are finished doing something and will not do it anymore.

  • They didn't die in vain but you will because you're wrong.

  • Harry's heart did beat for us for all of us over, right?
