  1. today I want to help you supercharge your vocabulary by learning many different collocations which are words that are frequently used together and
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. considerable difference or you're making considerable progress or you have considerable influence over someone and this collocation you may
  8. follow it with that preposition over besides we have to do a considerable amount of paperwork but you might go back and use your
  9. considerable influence and ask your cabinet colleagues if they might reconsider and I am confident that learning collocations will make a
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. of give feedback so these are some great verb noun collocations there are also some very common adjective noun collocations because I think
  17. overwhelmingly people may talk about positive feedback or negative feedback of course getting feedback is extremely important when it comes to improving
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. the class because all of the lessons have a specific curriculum to help guide students through the conversation the agenda of group lesson is
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. even a family member but you get to have fun and share things about your country your culture or even your community
  25. 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

  29. 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
  30. 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
  31. 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
  32. 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
  33. 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
  34. 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
  35. 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
  36. 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
  37. 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
  38. two different sets of collocations with this noun which means causing disagreement or discussion so let's start with some adjective noun
  39. 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
  40. 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
  41. 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
  42. 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
  43. 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
  44. 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
  45. adjective noun collocation which is conventional wisdom and in this case the meaning changes slightly so if we're talking about conventional wisdom it
  46. refers to opinions or theories that have existed for a long time and that most people agree with and this is a common
  47. collocation conventional wisdom conventional wisdom suggests that our next move is to resume hostilities to fight well conventional wisdom says
  48. 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
  49. 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
  50. 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
  51. 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
  52. 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
  53. 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
  54. 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
  55. 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
  56. 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
  57. 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
  58. 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
  59. 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
  60. 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
  61. 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
  62. little easier to grasp these collocations because excitement enthusiasm emotion once again they're really synonyms I am bubbling over with
  63. 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
  64. 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
  65. 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
  66. 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
  67. 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
  68. 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
  69. 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
  70. 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
  71. 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
  72. 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
  73. 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
  74. 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
  75. 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
  76. an underlying cause or an underlying condition and these you may hear somebody use medically perhaps a doctor May talk about an underlying condition
  77. 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
  78. conditions you could also say that something is the underlying principle or perhaps an underlying motivation maybe you want to improve your English for
  79. 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
  80. 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
  81. 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
  82. 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
  83. spends and a few different adjective noun collocations include government expenditure or annual expenditure or even personal expenditure we also have a
  84. 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
  85. 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
  86. 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
  87. 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
  88. 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
  89. 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
  90. 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
  91. 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
  92. 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
