Also this week I will be releasing a special podcast and the title is - how to choose an online English course. This will be a great podcast and I hope you share this podcast with everybody you know - how to choose an online English course. Enough chitchat, let's start with the news. A California man is suing McDonald's because he didn t get enough napkins with his quarter pounder because he is black. The man, perhaps a sloppy eater ask the manager for more napkins but was refused. Then the manager mumbled something like "you people". The man claims he hasn t been able to work because of undue mental anguish. He suing the hamburger franchise for the equivalent o a quarter of a million quarter pounders or about one and a half million dollars. What? (reads the text again) Oh boy!, What a crazy story! Now, the key word in this story is sue S-U-E. Do you know what it means - to sue?. To sue someone means taking that person or that company to court, you know, in front of a judge. And the reason you take that person or company to court is because you believe that person or that company has cheated you; has done something wrong to you and you want the company to formally apologize and almost always we sue for money as compensation for been wrong. So for example: if I am a, uh, look at me. I am a white guy 46 years old and I work for a company and the company fires me because I m a white guy; they only want black guys or they only want, uh, Mexican guys; they don t want any white guys and the boss says: Shane we have to let you go. Why?. I work hard. I m sorry, Shane, you re too white. Ooh!. In this situation, the court was been racist against me. So I would sue the company and I would probably sue them for millions of dollars. No, that s a bad example because in America, white people do not usually suffer from racism; it's the other way around, usually black people, Mexican people, people from other races and other backgrounds tent to suffer from racism and things like that; but this is the idea of suing.
2 So, if somebody or some company does something wrong to you, in America we tent to sue that person or that company and America is kind of famous for it's law suits, S-U-I-T-S, that means suing and sometimes the courts give millions of dollars to the victim and that s the situation here. Did you understand the story? Let's look at each sentence. A California man is suing McDonald's because he didn't get enough napkins with his quarter pounder because he's black. OK, so, uh, California man now, California man; we also can say a Californian man. So, we can add an n to California. Is suing McDonald's so, here is the key verb, sue, to sue, S-U-E, but here it's - ing, S-U-I-N-G. McDonald's, you know McDonald's, the hamburger company. So, why is he suing McDonald's? - because he didn't get enough napkins, he didn't receive enough napkins with his quarter pounder. OK, so he ordered a quarter pounder, a quarter pounder, Q-U-A-R-T-E-R, quarter pounder, P-O-U-N-D-E-R. A pound is a unit of weight, like a kilogram. So, one pound equals 0.45 kilograms, so almost half a kilogram. So, a quarter pounder would be a quarter of a pound or about a hundred and twenty five grams. That's a big hamburger. So, the quarter pounder is one of McDonald's famous hamburgers. It's their big hamburger. So, this guy, he's black, he's black American, African-American, he went to McDonald's and he ordered a quarter pounder, a big hamburger and they gave him some napkins but he wanted more napkins, but the McDonald's restaurant didn't give him more napkins. So, he's suing them. Uh, we have to keep listening. Let's listen to the first sentence again. A California man is suing McDonald's because he didn't get enough napkins with his quarter pounder because he's black. Aha, so the real issue is not really the napkins. It's because he's black. Let's find out. The man, the black man, perhaps a sloppy eater, perhaps, maybe a sloppy eater, eater, you know somebody who eats, what is sloppy, S-L-O-P-P-Y, that means a messy eater or a dirty eater. So, when they're, when, a sloppy eater, if they're eating a hamburger then the ketchup comes down the face and the,the onions fall out of the mouth; so, if you are a sloppy eater then you need lots of napkins. Right? Sure. So, the man perhaps a sloppy eater, asked the manager for more napkins. Excuse me, manager. Could I have some more napkins? But was refused. The man was refused. He asked for more napkins, but the manager said: No. Then the manager mumbled something like: You people. OK, so, mumbled, what does it mean to mumble? M-U-M-B-L-E, the manager mumbled something like You people. To mumble something means- to say something but not very clearly or not very loud, rather quietly. So, for example, if I wanted to say I hate you, if I said it loud and clear, you would be angry. So, sometimes I mumble it, hhhh hhhh. So, you can kind of hear me but not exactly and that's what the manager did. The manager said to the black customer: You people. You people. And the black man heard you people and he thinks that you people means black people. Now, the manager was not white, the manager was a Mexican-American. So, it's a big question. If the manager actually said You people, was he referring to black people or was he talking about sloppy eaters or maybe he was talking about the lunch time customers or demanding customers.
3 Oh, you people can have many different meanings, but yes, one possible definition is black people. Oh boy, that's a big problem. The man, the black man claims, he says, he claims, C-L-A-I-M-S, the same thing is says, the man claims he hasn't been able to work, he can't work because of undue mental anguish, undue mental anguish. Now, this is actually what he wrote in his lawsuit. So, the courts when they see the documents they see I am suing McDonald's for undue mental anguish because I didn't get enough napkins with my quarter pounder because I'm black. So, what is undue mental anguish? Undue, U-N-D-U-E, undue means inappropriate or excessive, too much, a huge amount but in a very bad way; undue mental anguish; mental means your mind, your stress level. What about anguish? A-N- G-U-I-S-H, anguish means severe mental suffering. So, basically undue mental anguish means severe stress, too much stress, unnecessarily stress, large amounts of stress, the man has not been able to work at his job because he is stressed, because the manager said: You people when he asked for napkins. Oh my Goodness! So, he, the man, the black man is suing the hamburger franchise, hamburger franchise, the McDonald's store. Franchise means a chain, a chain of restaurants, a chain of stores, a hamburger franchise, uh, there are many types of franchises, especially restaurants and also drug stores and also departments stores. Walmart is a huge franchise, Burger King is a huge franchise. So he is suing the hamburger franchise for the equivalent of. So the equivalent means an equal amount, so, for example, if I buy a Starbucks Coffee, the value of the Starbucks Coffee is $5. It s the same value as a Big Mac meal at McDonald's. So am I hungry or am I thirsty? With the equivalent amount of money, I could buy either a coffee or a McDonald's meal. What do I do? So in equivalent amount of something means the same amount, regarding in this case, money. So he is suing the hamburger franchise for the equivalent of a quarter of a million Quarter Pounders. So a quarter of a million, a quarter means 1/4. A quarter of a million means 250,000 Quarter Pounders. We talked about Quarter Pounders, Quarter Pounders are the big hamburgers at McDonalds. So he is suing the hamburger franchise for not a quarter of a million Quarter Pounders, he doesn t actually want 250,000 hamburgers. The equivalent of a quarter of a million Quarter Pounders or about one and a half million dollars. So the last sentence is actually funny. He is suing McDonald's for one and a half million dollars. That s $1.5M or $1,500,000. And if you have $1.5M, you can buy 250,000 Quarter Pounders at McDonald's or a quarter of a million Quarter Pounders. Wow, so this is the news right now in America. Not a big story but it s a funny story. But if it s true, if it is about racism, yeah, that s a problem. McDonald's is a global company. They do not want to be known as a racist company. So this is a problem for the manager and I wonder what will happen to the man. Will he win in court? Will McDonald's give him money? How much money will McDonald's give? America is sue-happy. Many people like to sue in America. You have to be careful. If you have a business in America, be very careful with your customers. Because if they think you are doing something wrong to them, they are going to sue you. Undo mental anguish. Oh, I can t work, they didn t give me napkins because I m black. Well, I hope that s not true but we shall see. So we have lots of vocabulary words. SUING to sue, to take someone to court because you believe they have cheated you. They did something wrong to you. When we sue in court, we usually sue for money. And we take that money as compensation. What about in your country? Is it common to sue? In America it s actually quite common. NAPKINS those are the pieces of paper that you use to clean your mouth and clean your hands when you eat lunch or dinner, maybe breakfast too. Most napkins are made of paper. But some napkins are made of cotton. And some expensive napkins are even made of silk. Can you believe that? QUARTER POUNDER, the Quarter Pounder is a very popular sandwich at McDonald's. It s a
4 quarter pound of beef that is 1/4 of a pound of beef which is about 125g. It s a big hamburger. A SLOPPY EATER someone who eats sloppily. A messy eater. When you are eating the food as falling from your mouth. It s not very nice to see. MUMBLED to mumble; to say something in a low tone of voice, very quietly. And not very clearly. I don t like to study English. I don t like to study English. Ooh, did you hear what I said? I ll say it two more times I m mumbling. So listen carefully. I don t like to study English. I don t like to study English. If you know the answer, leave a message. What did Shane mumble? CLAIMS someone claims, it means says or insists. UNDO MENTAL ANGUISH simply interpreted it means unnecessarily large amounts of stress, unnecessarily large amounts of stress. FRANCHISE a franchise is a chain, specifically one unit of a restaurant so there are many, many McDonald's restaurants all over the world. But McDonald's doesn t own every restaurant. They sell the rights to an individual and he or she opens the restaurant but it is the same as all the other McDonald's restaurants. That s a franchise. Starbucks is a famous coffee franchise. The EQUIVALENT OF the equal amount of, so something is equivalent to something else. 250,000 Quarter Pounders is equivalent to one and a half million dollars. It s a lot of money. Okay I m going to read the story two more times. The first time smoothly, the second time normally. Here we go: A California man is suing McDonald s because he didn t get enough napkins with his quarter pounder because he is black. The man, perhaps a sloppy eater, asked the manager for more napkins, but was refused. Then the manager mumbled something like you people. The man claims he hasn t been able to work because of undue mental anguish. He is suing the hamburger franchise for the equivalent of a quarter of a million quarter pounders or about 1 ½ million dollars. (reads the text again) How re you doing everybody. This is country Shane and I m here to bring you the facts. In Europe there is country called Montenegro. Montenegro is right across from Italy, South of Bosnia and Herzegovina. North of Albania. Well, the interesting fact about Montenegro. When Montenegro became independent from Yugoslavia its internet domain changed from being YU to ME. That s dot yu dot me. Ha ha ha. This has been country Shane bringing you the facts. It s time for some questions and answers. The first question is from Hin Min. I hope I pronounced that correctly. I ve watched your videos and they have helped me a lot. I have a question. I need your help. How can I pronounce the l-l in will and the contractions; they will, we will, I will, she will, he will and It will. Thank you very much. Great questions. So they will if we contract that with will it sounds like they-l, they-l. However most Americans when they say it quickly they do not say they- l they say dell. Dell be here. They-l be here. Dell be her, dell be here. We will is the same thing if we contract it sounds like we-l, we-l but when we say it quickly it usually sounds like will or wul. Will be there, wul be there. Will or wul. Actually we will has 5 different pronunciations that are quite common in America and I talk about those in DDM. So join DDM. The next one I will. I ll, I ll but the typical pronunciation is al,al,al. She will, she-l but we usually say shel, shel. He will perfect pronunciation he-l but we usually say hel,hel. And it will contracted It ll and that s almost how we say it, it ll it ll. Great question. Thank you very much. Now
5 our next question is from Gustavo. Gustavo from Spain has a question; it s about the T that is in the middle of the word for example Saturday T is in the middle, tomato the second T is in the middle, priority there is a T in the middle. Now, do you pronounce the T like a D or an R is it priority or prioridy?. Okay so if you listen to my pronunciation there Gustavo you know that it is pronounce like a T. Now that type of T is called a flap T and many English teachers say a flap T is like an R. That s is not true. No, it s not like an R. So let s look at Saturday, the T is a flap T so if the flap T sound like an R then the pronunciation would be Sarurday, that s terrible. Tomato if the second T which is a flap T sounds like an R would be tomarro, tomarro, what the heck is that? It s not an R. Now, it might be similar to an R in Spanish or the R sound in Japanese or in Korean, but in English the flap T is basicly a D. Saturday, Saturday Sattturday Saturday. Tomato, tomato, tomatttto tomato. Priority, priority, priority priotttty it s a very, very, very short sound. That makes sense? I hope so. Thanks for the question Gustavo. Our next question is from Mina. Mina moved to New York from Japan last year and Nina is signing up for DDM live. That s great Nina we look forward to having you. Now, Mina has a problem with some pronunciation and, uh, she wants to say the word Thursday. But whenever she says the word Thursday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, people hear Saturday and she says no, no, no, no, not Saturday, Thursday. But still they don t understand what I m saying. Oh this is so frustrated and now I m scared. I m afraid of saying Thursday and by the way I also have a problem with birthday and thirty, ten twenty thirty. Aha, so, the big problem for me is the R and I ve been watching your videos and they helping me but can you talk about these words. Yes Mina, so Thursday, now if people are thinking Saturday that s a big problem, because Saturday has three syllables Sa-tur-day, Sa-tur-day, Thursday has only two syllables. So, Mina, first of all be careful with your syllables. Listen carefully how many syllables are you pronouncing. So the T-H-U-R be very careful, TH,, the TH is long, THUR, THUR, THUR, when you make the R sound do not let the tongue touch anywhere in the mouth. THUR, THURSDAY, the S is actually a Z sound and it is vibrated, and then you touch with the D, THURSDAY, THURSDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY, SATURDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY. Let s look the other two words. BIRTHHHDAY, BIRTHHHDAY, BIRTHHHDAY, THHHIRTY, THHHIRTY, so just like THURSDAY, THIRTY has the same type of pronunciation, BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY, the R and TH are the other way. So, my recommendation Mina is to listen to my recording and record yourself and keep practicing. Also, since you re joining DDM LIVE and in your fist live hangout please ask me this question again, so that I can hear your pronunciation, okay? Thank you very much for the question, it is tough one, the R and THs together it is very difficult for a lots of people I know. So, good luck with that one Mina. We have another question and I don t. Ah yes, yes, this is Qumon from Vietnam again. So, his question is, I think it is a he. Why can t I hear the native English speakers pronounce the ED sound? Especially in the sentence - it happened to me. So, when a native English speakers says - it happened to me. I can not hear the happened, I don t hear the ED. In fact it sounds like it happens to me. Okay, so I do have many videos on ED. And ED sound is confusing. But in this case it happened to me. What happens is - the D in happened and the T in TO, those two sounds connect, they link. So, we don t say it happened to me, we say it happened to me, it happened to me. So, you do not hearing the D, I agree, because the D sound connects into the T and in this type of connection we only keep the second sound. And once again, I always talk about this in DDM. Now I m guessing the reason you hear an S is because sometimes when the T sound is very clear it does have a bit of an S sound. But It is not an S, it happens to me, it happened to me. So, listen carefully. The first sentence will be it happened to me, the second santance will be it happens to me. OK, listen carefully. It happened to me, It happens to me, It happened to me, It happens to me. I hope you can hear the difference. And once again that's a great question. And we have another question from Michael. Now Michael's question is the word NO, N-O and KNOW, K-N-O-W. Now we all know, everybody knows the homonyms, they sound exactly the same. However this is just my guess, it seems that when Americans say NO, N-O, especially in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a phrase it sounds very short, not KNOW, but just NO, NO, so for example:
6 - Did you see that TV show last night? - No It is a long sound. Let s get some the other example. - Let s get something to drink - I have no money NO, NO, NO. So, once again N-O all along sounds long NOOO, but N-O in the middle of a sentence sounds really short: I ve no money, I ve no money. I hope you understand what I m asking and please answer my question. Well, Michael, yes, I do agree, that many times when N-O, where N-O comes in the middle of a sentence it is really short. I ve no money, I ve no money. It is N, N, N, almost just an N sound. NO, but not with a W, I do agree with that Michael. I don t think other native English speakers would recognize the difference, but if you analyze it, yes, I think there truly is a difference for many cases. And that s it for the questions today. Thank you everybody for those fantastic questions, it is time to rape up the show. All right, once again I want to say a special thank you to everybody who leaves and rating and comment on itunes. Believe it or not in the past two weeks nobody has left a comment on itunes. I m very sad, but I did get another 5 star rating from somebody in Italy. Thank you very much for that.
