  • speak English fluently and finally speak with confidence, you must

  • learn something new every single day.

  • So guess what?

  • In this week's lesson, I am going to tell you the words and expression

  • you need to learn for this week.

  • Are you ready?

  • Well, then I am teacher Tiffani.

  • Let's jump right in.

  • Here we go.

  • All right.

  • So for Sunday today, the word you need to learn is right here.

  • Jet lag.

  • Good again, jet lag.

  • Excellent.

  • Now this just refers to the feeling of tiredness and confusion that people

  • experience after making a long trip by plane to a place where the time is

  • different from the place they left.

  • Let me explain it like this.

  • I used to live in South Korea, Korea is now my second home, but the time

  • difference is really drastic day in Korea is night in Maryland, night in

  • Maryland day, Korea, and the flip.

  • The time difference is really, really drastic.

  • That means whenever I flew home from South Korea, I experienced extreme jet lag.

  • I was tired in the day because my body thought that it was the nighttime.

  • Makes sense.

  • Right?

  • Okay.

  • Now I want you to check out these example sentences using this term jet lag.

  • All right, here's the first example sentence right here.

  • After my trip to Australia, my jet lag symptoms lasted for almost a week.

  • Now, I don't want you to go anywhere because for story time, I have a story

  • about jet lag you don't want to miss.

  • All right.

  • So again, after my trip to Australia, my jet lag symptoms lasted for almost a week.

  • You got it.

  • All right.

  • Let's check out sentence number two, sentence number two.

  • To combat jet lag, it's important to stay hydrated and try to adjust

  • your sleep schedule before traveling.

  • This is something that is very important because if you don't do this, you are

  • going to be tired for a long time.

  • So again, the sentence to combat jet lag.

  • It's important to stay hydrated and try to adjust your sleep

  • schedule before traveling.

  • Got it.

  • All right, here we go.

  • Sentence number three, long haul flights can be exhausting and often result in

  • severe tiredness in severe jet lag.

  • You got it.

  • So for today, I want you to try to use this word jet lag at least once.

  • Remember I'm giving you words and an expression at the end that

  • you can use throughout this week.

  • Now, I do want to remind you that each week, when I teach you a brand new

  • lesson, the English that I'm teaching you can also be found in my app.

  • Right after this lesson, I want you to click the link in the description or

  • Now, what does it mean to gallivant?

  • Gallivant just means to travel or wander aimlessly or search
