USA news on Youtube Dec 18 2017

hi everyone and welcome back to my channel!

if you are new, hi! I'm Sofie

and this is my world

given that i've done a video or two in English

teaching basic Italian words/phrases to English speakers,

those who would like to

learn a bit of Italian

I've received some requests to do

some English lessons to Italians

i've already done a video for those who would like to learn italian

with 15 phrases

and words

most basic to learn before coming to Italy

so I thought,

why don't I do the same thing for you, but in English

I'm sure some of you already know some of these words

but let's see

if you want to learn the most basic words/phrases

if you want to come to the USA on holiday

you should know these words to get around!

ok, let's begin

hello is more formal

and hi is a bit more informal

so if you enter a restaurant or a store,

you can say,

'hello' or 'hi'

good morning, which means 'buongiorno'

good afternoon

which means 'buon pomeriggio'

'good evening,' which means

'buona sera'

which means

'have a nice day'

'have a nice evening'

how are you?

we don't have a particular word to associate the difference

between the formal and informal person

for example, in Italian we say, 'TU' for the informal 'YOU'

or, 'LEI'

for the formal 'YOU'

we don't have this in English

so if you say 'YOU'

it's both the informal/formal 'you' in Italian, also the Italian 'VOI' which means 'You all'

because this doesn't exist in the English language

so you can comfortably say,

'How are you?'

to say, 'come stai?' or 'come sta?' (how are you)

'thank you' is longer, whereas 'thanks'

is shorter, maybe a TAD bit more informal

which means, 'prego' (you're welcome) after someone has given or brought you something

so when someone tells you,

'thank you,' you can respond with 'you're welcome'

or

'goodbye' is more 'arrivederci' and

'bye' is more like 'ciao'

or

it's similar to 'Altrettanto', for example

if you're in a place and someone tells you,

'have a nice day!' to you

you can respond with,

'thanks, you too!' or

'thanks, likewise!'

or

'how much is this? (masculine)

or 'how much is this?' (feminine)

or 'how much are these?'

'can you help me please?'

for example,

'where is the restroom?'

means 'where can I find the restroom?'

instead of saying, 'where is the restroom?'

so, 'where is' is 'dov'è'

and 'where can i find...' is 'dove lo posso trovare...?'

for example, if you're in a grocery store

and

you're looking for the milk,

you can say, 'where can I find the milk?'

which means

'can i have the check please?' or also

they are the same thing

so you can ask for both 'the check' or 'the bill'

these are just some basic words

especially for those starting out

especially if you're looking to do a trip in an English speaking place

if you found this video useful,

let me know

because I can do more videos like this one

if you want to see how to order in an American restaurant,

let me know, because I can continue like this

i wanted to try first with a video like this one with the top 15 basic words/phrases

that are the most useful

when you're coming to the USA

and if you're still not subscribed to my channel,

please subscribe!

if you have any ideas for me for future videos,

especially English for Italians,

please let me know because i'm always open

to your ideas!

thanks so much and until next time!

bye!

Meet James Earle, Microsoft Tech Evangelist, TypeScript | JavaScriptLA Interviews - Duration: 5:38.

So I'm from Canada which is a big thing for most people living down here in

SoCal. But I I went to school in St. Catharines

Ontario. So that's near Niagara Falls which is really nice it was a great area

to get my education. And I studied computer science and economics but that

wasn't always what I studied so I took five years to do my undergraduate

because in my first year I was actually an English major and that was quite a

interesting transition. But English turned out not to be for me, so I made

that transition even though I kind of was afraid because I hated math and I, I

was really worried about how I would do in my computer science major. But it I

ended up doing all right! I had never programmed before I switched

into my computer science major, but I had always been interested in computers so I

kind of hoped that my interest in computers would lead me to, kind of, I

guess push me in the direction of trying hard enough to learn, and I just learned

through classes a little bit online, but mostly through the instruction of my

professors at University. The things that I think made a big difference were

working externally for not just working on my class projects and my homework, but

I also tried to find extra projects to do just for myself. I would try to think

of things that might be interesting to make. I also worked at a startup one

summer over University and that was a big help as well. So this actually segues

quite well into how I got started with Microsoft. So, we have a program called

our Microsoft Student Partners, and that's a program where we allow students

to come in and do a little bit of miniature evangelism on campus. So I was

a Microsoft student partner, and what that meant was, I would occasionally host

events on campus. So they would provide funding for things like pizza they would

mail me swag to give out at the events, as long as I deliver the presentation

on a certain Microsoft technology or a certain Microsoft offering so that the

other students were aware of it. And that in itself is sort of miniature

evangelism and a big part of how I got here is by doing that for a couple years,

and then my boss sort of saw that I was doing well and saw that I was a pretty

much a fit for the role and she recommended me to a manager down here in

the States. So I am a Technical Evangelist at

Microsoft, so a lot of people kind of hear that title and think what does that

mean? So I'm a technical person so I am an engineer, but I evangelize on behalf

of Microsoft's technology stack. So we work with partners often to deliver

proof of concept technology with our kind of bleeding edge services. Then I

evangelize that so a big part of that is sharing it and showing people look what

you can do with what we've created. I think a lot of people don't really

consider TypeScript when it when it comes to their choices for starting a

new project and I think TypeScript is extremely applicable for certain

technologies. For example electron you can build desktop applications and very

commonly desktop applications are written in an object-oriented language.

So by adding that object orientation into something like JavaScript you can

still use the language that you're very comfortable in but you also get some

added abstractions, which I think can really benefit your application.

TypeScript is actually just a lot like any other object-oriented language in

that there are interfaces and classes, and interfaces will extend other

interfaces or classes and you can implement them. So the coolest feature

would be type annotation, because that helps the most explicitly with managing

your code, but there are also a few other features and added types that like enums.

The typescript compiler has a setting for which ECMAScript you're going to be

using. TypeScript is a type superset of JavaScript in the big plus

is that by using types you can be a little more explicit about the things

you expect in your code, and then you can compile it down to regular JavaScript so

there's there's very little that it affects in your actual JavaScript, but

your TypeScript will be much cleaner generally and that I think that helps

make your code a little more performant. Hey I'm Vijay, I'm the organizer for

JavaScriptLA. I wanted to just personally thank you for watching this

video. If you found it useful I'd love for you to subscribe to our Channel.

We're slowly but surely making lots of little video content for you guys to

Christmas in the UK (для изучающих английский язык) - Duration: 10:21.

Merry Christmas!

Okay. Well, I love Christmas, because it is a time when all my family get

together to celebrate. The celebrations begin at the end of November, when in my

town the lights are switched on at the Town Hall,

and all the shops are hung with little Christmas trees and decorations,

and there is a Christmas fair and street party where there is singing and dancing

and you can buy mince pies and warm mulled wine. At home we put up our

Christmas tree at the beginning of December. And this is quite typical in

the UK.

Although some people wait until the middle of December, because the Christmas

trees lose their leaves if you put them up too early. But we have got a plastic

Christmas tree this year and it went upon the 3rd of December. We also hang

stockings, long socks, from the fireplace, because according to tradition Father

Christmas flies around the world on Christmas Eve delivering presents to

all the children. And he comes down the chimney and leaves chocolates, fruits, and

toys in the stocking. So my son puts a glass of sherry and a mince pie on the

table for Father Christmas and also a carrot for Santa's reindeer.

On the day after Christmas it is a public holiday.

It's called Boxing Day. And in Victorian times people were given... the servants

were given a day off.

Because on Christmas Day, the 25th, they had to work. They had to help their

masters celebrate Christmas. So on Boxing Day they were given a box, and in the box

there might be some money, a Christmas bonus, presents, and maybe left over food.

In my family on Boxing Day we go for a long walk in the countryside

and burn off all the Christmas calories.

We call him father Christmas in the UK, and in the USA they usually call him

Santa Claus. But it's the same person.

Father Frost in Russia comes I believe on New Year's Eve. Whereas Father Christmas

doesn't come to the children on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve we don't

have such a big celebration. We usually have a party, maybe meet up with friends

at somebody's house, maybe go out to a pub for the evening, but we don't give

gifts usually on New Year's Eve. I think if the Russians want to describe what

they eat during these holidays they will use several salads: Olivye...

We call it Russian salad in my family. Olivye is a potato salad, isn't it?

So we call it a Russian potato salad. And "vinegret"... And this is a salad with

beetroot. But we don't have really had this salad. My sister calls this

Russian salad, as well. We don't really have this salad.

The Christmas dinner is really the final event. And for some people

it may be one or two o'clock in the afternoon. For some people it may be in

the evening or in mid-afternoon. Different families celebrate in

different ways.

Mince pies are a small pie. We eat them a Christmas. And inside there is a mixture

of raisins and sugar. So we call it mincemeat, but it isn't meat. It is fruit.

Mulled wine is warm wine with spices. And I think you have it in Russia, too.

I think people drink more on New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve... if there's a party

they drink a lot. Because it's a family day. Again it maybe depends on the family.

Some families do drink quite a lot. They drink with the meal wine with the meal.

They might have champagne with the meal or a fizzy wine. Some families may

continue to drink into the afternoon. I think it's very individual to each

family. They do probably drink more than usual, yes.

After the meal we open our presents. So they wait until

lunchtime, till after lunch. And then after lunch we've opened the presents,

then we play games, we chat. The elderly relatives sleep in a chair. And the day

slowly winds to a close.

So this year I went to a Christmas carol service in a little village church at

the weekend. And carol services are held in churches, in marketplaces, and town

centers throughout December. So what is a carol? It's a Christmas song. Usually it's

a song, the Christmas story about the birth of Jesus.

And when I was a child, my family would join with lots of other families and

walk around the village singing outside people's houses. And the old ladies would

open their doors and invite us in, give us a hot drink and a mince pie, and then

we would go to the next house and sing outside their house. Is there still a

tradition to send greeting cards. Well, this is a very important tradition.

English people consider it very important to send a card. And they

usually write to and the name of the person, from, and your name. Nothing else

is in it. It's a card with a Christmas picture on it. And we give them to

everybody, so to your children's teachers, to your neighbors, to all your friends, to

all your relatives. It doesn't matter if you will see them or you won't see them.

We send them in the post. We deliver them by hand. We send out hundreds of

Christmas cards at Christmas.

I will try to learn several new words. Thank you! Merry Christmas and a Happy

New Year to you and all your family!

What about the song Jingle Bells? Is it popular? Or maybe it is popular in Russia only?

It is popular for children. And there are lots of silly funny versions of Jingle

Bells. Jingle Bell rock. I'll send it to you. It's good one.

Jingle Bell Rock.
