“I want to… understand English, listen to English I can understand, learn English vocabulary, learn English without grammar, have a conversation in English… improve my English!”

Is that you?

Perfect!  I think you are in the right place… because I want to help you to learn English, to acquire English… I want you to listen to English spoken naturally… and to understand English spoken naturally… to listen to English spoken in lots of different contexts!  I want you to enjoy English!

I want you to practice listening to English, but to listen to interesting English.  

English conversation is often an exchange of stories in English.  To have a conversation in English with someone when you travel in English, you need to master “English small talk”.  For example, you might need to :
- talk about yourself in English
- talk about family in English
- talk about food in English
- talk about weather in English
- talk about holidays in English
- talk about interests in English
- talk about sport in English

So, I am building my smileEnglishstories YouTube channel, to give you one opportunity to listen to English spoken naturally in lots of different contexts.  After all, in England we say, “Variety is the spice of life!”

And I tell you stories in English, because if you listen to interesting stories to learn English, you will be more motivated to listen to English and you will naturally improve your listening comprehension.

I try to use simple English when I make my smileEnglishstories YouTube videos.  Simple, but rich in content!  That means accessible English for beginners (good beginners), but still interesting English for elementary level and interesting English for intermediate levels.


In the comments section, do say what you enjoyed, ask questions or tell me what sort of videos you would like to see!  Then I can make videos you will want to watch!

Description: Are you superstitious?
Do you like number 13,
or do you think it's a little bit unlucky?
In France, people often think&nbsp;
that number 13 is unlucky,
but Friday the 13th is "Lucky Friday" in France,
and a lot of people play the lottery,
and there is usually a big jackpot to be won!
Superstitions can be a little strange,
and when I compare the superstitions&nbsp;&nbsp;
in&nbsp;&nbsp;France, where I live
and in England, where I come from,
they are sometimes the same,
sometimes they're almost the&nbsp;
same (they're very similar),
but they're often very different!
Hello, if you're new to my channel, I'm Rachel.
Welcome to smile English stories,&nbsp;
where you can listen to English&nbsp;
in lots of different contexts.
If I speak too quickly, or too slowly,
you can change the speed in YouTube.
"Mum, why are you lying in the grass?"
I'm looking for a clover with four leaves.
I'm looking for a four-leaf clover.
Thank you Mendy.
"You look a bit stupid!"
But, but there's only one in&nbsp;
10 000 chances of finding one!
In France, and in England,
it's lucky if you find a four-leaf clover,
but I think we only have&nbsp;
three-leaf clovers in our garden.
Superstitions are not new,
they are nothing new.
They have existed for a long time.
And they haven't only existed&nbsp;
in France and in England,&nbsp;
they have existed all over the world, of course.
People like to know.
People like to understand.
People like explanations,&nbsp;
and they don't feel happy&nbsp;
when they don't understand
why something happens.
They don't feel happy,
and&nbsp;they feel a little scared.
They feel uncomfortable.
They think something supernatural is happening...
...perhaps there is a ghost!
So scientists look for logical explanations&nbsp;&nbsp;
to explain the irrational&nbsp;
things happening in our lives,
but sometimes they don't&nbsp;
find logical explanations.
So that's when often we invent superstitions.
Superstitions are there to reassure us,
to tell us that everything will be okay!
Oh no! Somebody has put a hat on my bed!
That's really bad luck in France.
"She's crazy, she's completely bonkers!"
"Stop, NOW!"
Oh yes, it's true. In France and in England,&nbsp;
it's very unlucky to put your umbrella up inside!
I think I had better go outside!
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest&nbsp;
(who is the most beautiful) of them all?
Oh thank you!
If you look in the mirror,&nbsp;&nbsp;
in France and in England,
we say you can see your soul.
So if you break a mirror in France&nbsp;
or in England, beware (!)...
...because you have broken your soul...
...and you have two possibilities...
...either you can have seven years of bad luck...
...or you can wait seven hours,&nbsp;
pick up the pieces of glass,
take them outside,
outside in the light of the moon
(in the moonlight),
and bury them in the ground...&nbsp;
and then you will be okay!
"Mum, what are you doing?"
Well, I have just spilled some salt on the table,
and spilling salt on the table is bad luck!
So I need to throw the salt over my left shoulder,
not my right shoulder.
I need to throw the salt into the devil's eyes,
and then I will be okay!
"Bye bye!"
From about 1495 to 1498,
Leonardo da Vinci painted a famous painting
on the wall of a monastery in Milan.
The painting is called "the Last Supper",&nbsp;&nbsp;
and on the painting you can see Judas&nbsp;
Iscariot who was Jesus's traitor...
...and Judas Iscariot is&nbsp;
spilling salt on the table.
So today it's not good luck (it's&nbsp;
unlucky) to spill salt on the table.
"Mum, what are you doing now?"
I'm setting an extra place&nbsp;
at the table for the egg.
"She's crazy, she's completely bonkers!"
Well, it's your daddy's&nbsp;
birthday... happy birthday daddy!
And so, I have invited some&nbsp;
people to help celebrate.
Is it not a good idea?
I have invited the rabbits.
I have invited Hedgie and the snake...&nbsp;
I hope they will be okay because&nbsp;
sometimes hedgehogs eat snakes!
And I have invited Goldilocks and the three bears.
I have even invited Nemo...&nbsp;
but he's a little bit late!
But I have a problem... we are&nbsp;13,
and 13 is not a good number!
So when we are 13,
we add an extra place for the egg,
and then we will be fourteen.
Oh look, here's Nemo!
"She's mad, she's crazy, she's totally bonkers!"
"Mum what are you doing?"
Well, I'm putting a horse shoe above the door...
...it's supposed to be lucky!
But I have a problem, because in France,&nbsp;
they say the wrong way round is lucky&nbsp;&nbsp;
and in England we say the&nbsp;
right way round is lucky,
so I don't know what to do!
Well, I suppose we're in France, so&nbsp;
let's put it the wrong way round!
Oh no! In France, it's bad luck to put&nbsp;
the bread upside down on the table...
Oh no! In France, it's bad luck to put&nbsp;
the bread upside down on the table...
...and in Yorkshire, in the North of England,&nbsp;
it's bad luck to cut the end of the bread.
If you cut the end of the bread,&nbsp;
a witch might fly over the house!
In 1815, just before the Battle of Waterloo,&nbsp;
the French Emperor Napoleon saw a black cat.
Now as you probably know France&nbsp;
didn't win the Battle of Waterloo.
The Anglo-Alliance won the Battle of Waterloo.
So in France, black cats are bad luck,
but in England black cats are very lucky!
Now this is a funny French superstition.
If you step in dog poo with your right foot,
it's not a good idea (it's not lucky),
but if you step in dog poo with&nbsp;
your left foot it's very lucky...
...so I'm going to step in the dog poo with&nbsp;
my left foot and then perhaps I will be lucky&nbsp;&nbsp;
(thank you Mendy!)
What about a strange superstition&nbsp;
in the North of England?
In Lancashire, where I come from,
we say you&nbsp;shouldn't cut your nails
on a Friday or a Sunday.
If you cut your nails on a Friday or a Sunday,
it will bring you bad luck... so be careful!
"What are you doing now?"
I'm burning my hair, because in&nbsp;
Lancashire, where I come from,
if you throw your hair into a fire,
you will have a longer and brighter life!
"What are you doing now?"
I'm cutting my hair because&nbsp;
it's a half moon today,
and in England we say, "If you cut your&nbsp;
hair between a new moon and a full moon,&nbsp;&nbsp;
you will be lucky ("Really?")&nbsp;
and your hair will grow quicker.
Oh look, an owl!
Did you know that in England, we say that&nbsp;
if you see an owl when you are pregnant,&nbsp;&nbsp;
you will have a baby girl!
Look, it's true!
It's four o'clock, so it's time for a cup of tea!
I'm going to put the kettle on...
...but in England we say,
"A&nbsp;watched kettle never boils!"
so I'm going to put the kettle on&nbsp;
and then go away for a few minutes...
...see you later!
Ah the kettle has boiled!
If you put sugar in your tea, or in your coffee,
make sure you stir it clockwise&nbsp;&nbsp;
and not anti-clockwise!
Anti-clockwise is bad luck!
I hope you enjoyed this "Lucky Friday" video.
If you did, give me a thumbs&nbsp;
up and share it with a friend.
Let's hope that the situation will be a little&nbsp;
bit more lucky for us all in the future...
...let's touch wood!
See you soon!
