So welcome to Stratford upon Avon. Let’s learn Shakespeare’s English today.

 So guys, to begin our journey in Stratford upon Avon, I have taken you to William Shakespeare’s birthplace. Shakespeare was born here in 1564 in this typical Tudor building. You can see the beams, the wooden beams on the building. It’s very typical from this time. William Shakespeare was born with seven brothers and sisters. It was a family of eight siblings all living in this building.

 Now, I’m just telling you this story to break the ice. If you break the ice, it’s an idiom that means you tell a short story or a joke to make people feel more comfortable to relax a little bit. And this expression was coined by William Shakespeare. If an expression or idiom is coined, it means it’s invented by that person. So Shakespeare broke the ice.

So if you’re new to this channel, I hope this introduction to Stratford upon Avon has broken the ice and you are now ready for the next English lesson. Part of this town’s charm is its river, the River Avon, and its canals. Make sure you check out the barges which people live in and use to travel for pleasure. A barge is a long, narrow boat that is used on a canal.
 
So guys, I’m now in the area around the river in Stratford-upon-Avon. You can see the beautiful river here and also the incredible canal Kals.
 
Now, this river is called the River Avon, and Avon comes from Kaltic. Now, today, you can still hear many Kaltic languages around Great Britain, in Ireland, in Wales, in Cornwall, and even in Scotland. ‘Aven’, but I cannot understand Kaltic languages whatsoever. It’s all Greek to me.
 
If you say something is all Greek to you, it’s all Greek to me, it means you don’t understand it at all. And this expression was It’s also coined by William Shakespeare.

So the name ‘Aven’, in fact, 

comes from the word for ‘river’ in Kaltic languages. In modern Scot’s, Gaelic and Irish, the word is ‘abbhunt’, and in Welsh, ‘afón’.
 
Now, let’s continue our English lesson across the Avon at the Royal Shakespeare Company Theater.
So behind me, you can see the Royal Shakespeare Company Theater.
 
This is one of the major theater companies in the UK, and you can see amazing Shakespeare plays here. I really think you should come here to see a Shakespeare play.
 
Imagine how good your English is going to be after seeing one. I’m really passionate about it. In fact, I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve.

Now, this is an idiom that means you hide no emotion. You really show how you feel. Imagine going here to see a play.
 
All of the actors and actresses will be wearing their hearts their sleeves. They’ll be showing all of their emotions to give you an amazing performance.
 
Now, who do you think came up with this expression? William Shakespeare, of course.
William Shakespeare had a great influence on the English language, helping to make it the idiomatic and expressive language it is today.
 
Now, we’re going to visit Holy Trinity Church, Stratford upon Avon, where you can visit the tomb of William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare died in the year 1616, and when he died, he was already a famous and important man.
 
So he was actually given a place inside the church where he was laid to rest, and you can visit that today. Now, important lesson for life that we can take from William Shakespeare is to kill somebody with kindness. This is an idiom coined by William Shakespeare, and it means always to be kind and nice to somebody, even if they are being mean or horrible to you. If somebody insults you, don’t insult them back, but be nice to them, respect them in return.
 
This takes away their power, and also it could teach them a lesson as well.
So this is a lesson we can take from the life of William Shakespeare.
 
The lessons haven’t finished yet, as we have one more English lesson from William Shakespeare.
 
We are going to visit Anne Hathaway’s cottage. Anne Hathaway was the wife of William Shakespeare. Little is known about her personality and relationship relationship with Shakespeare. But it’s Shakespeare. It must have been a true love story.
 
Now, we can probably presume that Anne Hathaway was the apple of Shakespeare’s eye. This is another idiom coined by William Shakespeare That means it’s somebody that you love very much, that you’re very fond of. For example, you can say, My kid is the apple of my eye.
 
I think we can probably presume that Anne Hathaway was also the of Shakespeare’s eye. Let’s hope so.
 
You can visit Anne Hathaway’s cottage today and learn how people lived in rural Tudor society. You can walk around the streets of Stratford-upon-Aven and imagine what it must have been like for a young William Shakespeare, a playwright that would change the English language for good.
 
So there we go. That’s Stratford upon Avon, my town and also the town of William Shakespeare. Make sure you like the video and subscribe to the channel, and I’ll see you in the next video. Bye.
