- today I want to help you supercharge your vocabulary by learning many different collocations which are words that are frequently used together and
- when you use them in conversation it's just going to help you sound more natural so in this lesson I'm going to teach you over 50 different collocations
- ranging from levels B2 to C2 so the phrases that we're going to look at are more Upper Intermediate to advance now I'm not going to lie to you building
- your vocabulary is something that may take a considerable amount of time but learning collocations can be somewhat of a shortcut so let's begin with some B2
- collocations and with a word that I've already mentioned considerable this is an adjective that means very large or much and there are some great adjective
- noun collocations such as a considerable amount of something previously I mentioned a considerable amount of time or you could say that you're making a
- considerable difference or you're making considerable progress or you have considerable influence over someone and this collocation you may
- follow it with that preposition over besides we have to do a considerable amount of paperwork but you might go back and use your
- considerable influence and ask your cabinet colleagues if they might reconsider and I am confident that learning collocations will make a
- considerable difference in building your vocabulary and if that is what you'd like to do please 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 if you follow my video lessons
- I think that you will make considerable progress okay see how just natural that sounds let's continue with our next set of collocations that have the noun
- feedback so this is information or statements of opinion about something such as a product and saying whether it's successful or liked so you may give
- feedback or provide feedback or even offer feedback and give provide an offer those are really synonyms you may also get feedback as well as receive feedback
- and once again get and receive those are synonyms and this may seem simple but this is when I hear people make mistakes and they may say tell feedback instead
- of give feedback so these are some great verb noun collocations there are also some very common adjective noun collocations because I think
- overwhelmingly people may talk about positive feedback or negative feedback of course getting feedback is extremely important when it comes to improving
- your English skills and a great way to receive feedback is to take lessons and that's why I want to talk to you about cambly who is the sponsor of today's
- lesson cambly is an online platform for English Learners and they just launched new group lessons and I was selected to test out the launch and I really enjoyed
- the class because all of the lessons have a specific curriculum to help guide students through the conversation the agenda of group lesson is
- so the group lessons are one hour long classes with a native tutor you and a couple of other students which is a great opportunity to connect with
- students from other countries and have real life conversations so this is the topic it can be a recent or favorite holiday celebrating birthdays in a new
- year I will start with you how we go for recent or favorite holiday these are daily conversations that you might have with a friend a colleague or
- even a family member but you get to have fun and share things about your country your culture or even your community
- is there like a stigma on that if somebody has a sandwich or is it it's not a big deal or people every mom every every mom and Aunt would be like ah

- and improve your English which is what it's all about let's continue with many more collocations the next word that I want to look at is deeply we're going to
- mix it up with an adverb so deeply means extremely or strongly and it is a great way to add emphasis so there are some adverb adjective collocations that will
- may have a positive connotation or a negative connotation let's start with a negative you may say that you are deeply worried about something or deeply
- concerned about something so either of those colleague you may follow with that preposition about you could also refer to something or someone as deeply flawed
- so in this case you may be talking about a deeply flawed plan or maybe a deeply flawed individual I'm deeply worried about aging the US is deeply concerned
- about escalating conflict that will not end well for either side he's deeply flawed and somehow somehow some way we raised a child for
- those that may be a bit more positive if you're apologizing you could say that you are deeply sorry or maybe you were deeply moved by something and it just
- affected you emotionally and you're going to follow this with by or you could say that you are deeply in love he is deeply sorry I told him that I was
- deeply moved by a statement I was in love with her and she was in love with me we were so deeply in love then we have the word controversial and I have
- two different sets of collocations with this noun which means causing disagreement or discussion so let's start with some adjective noun
- collocations maybe you're going to debate a controversial issue or say that someone made a controversial decision or if you're talking about a person you
- could say well this person is a controversial figure and I'm sure right now you can think of someone who you would refer to as a controversial figure
- and they're really causing disagreement and then there are some common adverb adjective collocations if you want to say someone or something is extremely
- controversial or highly controversial and we can build on top of this and say that someone is a highly controversial figure and now we're using them all
- together can you think of someone who you would consider a high really controversial figure let me know down in the comments then we have the word
- wisdom which means using knowledge or experience to make good decisions and there are only two collocations that I want to look at the first one is an
- adjective noun collocation which is conventional wisdom and in this case the meaning changes slightly so if we're talking about conventional wisdom it
- refers to opinions or theories that have existed for a long time and that most people agree with and this is a common
- collocation conventional wisdom conventional wisdom suggests that our next move is to resume hostilities to fight well conventional wisdom says
- good fleeing will always be good chasing but the stats say put your money on the guy with the gun I have another adjective noun collocation except this
- time wisdom is the adjective and I'm talking about a wisdom tooth or wisdom teeth so this is the last tooth to come in at the back of each side of your
- upper and lower jaw and often you may have to get well this tooth or even the teeth remove your wisdom tooth or wisdom teeth dental emergency
- I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled all of the extra painkillers that I had left over from my wisdom let's move on to some C1 words and some
- of those common collocations and we'll begin with the verb call so this is a verb that has well multiple meanings but in this case we're talking about
- arranging for something to happen such as a particular event and usually Something official and there are some great verb noun collocations such as to
- call a meeting or more specifically to call an emergency meeting and you could also call for something and we're going to follow the verb with four and I have
- a few different examples you could call for a strike or call for an election or call for a halt to something those are some great collocations with this verb
- next is the word tedious it's a word that I don't really like the meaning of it but I like using it because it's very descriptive it's an adjective that means
- boring or uninteresting so we can use this to describe some specific nouns and those are the collocations you might talk about a tedious job or tedious work
- or even a tedious task so once again job work task they're similar they're synonyms but great nouns to use with this adjective very selection is tedious
- work it's the only way to get through yet another tedious and useless task and then let's throw in a phrasal verb why not bubble over and we're going to
- follow the phrasal verb with the word with to Bubble over with something it means to be very excited or enthusiastic and there are some great phrasal verb
- noun collocations such as to Bubble over with excitement or to Bubble over with enthusiasm or even to Bubble over with emotion and hopefully it makes it a
- little easier to grasp these collocations because excitement enthusiasm emotion once again they're really synonyms I am bubbling over with
- excitement to continue teaching you more collocation with the next word which is burning and no I'm not talking about fire this word has a couple of different
- meanings and I want to talk to you about collocations with each so the first meaning would refer to something that is very strong and there are some great
- adjective noun collocations like a burning desire or a burning ambition so it's a great way to add emphasis firefighters have a passion for their
- work arsonists just have a burning desire is that even a joke it's a word player parody the next meaning is a subject or
- question that must be dealt with or answered quickly and there are also a couple adjective noun collocations with this meaning maybe you're talking about
- a burning issue or even a burning question so again we're really adding emphasis because we're not talking about a normal question we're talking about a
- burning question you look like a boy with a burning question one that my tarot cards can answer better than any book then we have the verb capture and
- the meaning that we're going to talk about is to feel interested or excited by something and there are a few different verb noun collocations such as
- to capture the imagination or to capture the attention or to capture the interest and you could follow each of these collocations with the word of to capture
- the imagination of someone we could also put a pronoun between the verb and the noun I could say that well someone's trying to capture the audience's
- attention or something captured my imagination and I hope that this lesson has captured your interest and if it has and you've learned something new you can
- let me know by hitting that like button let's continue with some C2 Words which are a little more advanced and we'll talk about some of those call locations
- and we'll begin with the word underlying this means that something is real but it's not immediately obvious I have several adjective noun collocations like
- an underlying cause or an underlying condition and these you may hear somebody use medically perhaps a doctor May talk about an underlying condition
- or the underlying cause of some illness as of right now the mortality rate is flucturing between 25 and 30 percent depending upon underlying medical
- conditions you could also say that something is the underlying principle or perhaps an underlying motivation maybe you want to improve your English for
- more work opportunities but perhaps you also maybe want to date someone and have the relationship in English and you could say that maybe that is an
- underlying motivation it's real but it's not obvious next is the word framework we're talking about a system of rules ideas or beliefs that is used to decide
- something and you may hear people use this word with a few different adjective noun collocations talking about a legal framework or a regulatory framework or
- even a theoretical framework then there's the word expenditure which refers to the total amount of money a government organization or even a person
- spends and a few different adjective noun collocations include government expenditure or annual expenditure or even personal expenditure we also have a
- couple of verb noun collocations such as to cut expenditure or even to reduce expenditure something that I think many businesses try to do with current and
- projected deficits we need to cut expenditures by 32 percent then we have the word literal it refers to a words original or basic meaning and there are
- a few different adjective noun collocations that I want to share with you you may talk about the literal meaning of something or perhaps the
- literal interpretation or even use it in the phrase in a literal sense what's an and the 7g677 the black hole and what sounds in a literal sense
- and then finite I don't know why I said it like that finite this adjective means having a limit or end and a few different adjective noun collocations
- with this word include finite resources or a finite number or a finite amount those are some great phrases with this word we just learned a lot of different
- collocations and I do not expect you to remember all of these I think you're probably already familiar with many of these words but it's all about
- recognizing which words are frequently used together that's what collocations are and your brain is going to start recognizing that pattern so that when
- you're having a conversation you're just going to end up using the words together and you'll sound a lot more natural if you enjoyed the lesson and learn
