English Vocabulary: Having a BABY

Hello,
i am an English teacher who is about to use your wonderful vids. in my class.could you tell me how are your levels related to standards like the CEF or others?

Regards,
Khaled Mahmoud

khaled mahmoud

Hi Khaled,

We have lessons at all levels and we don’t necessarily benchmark them to any standardized levels. We use beginner, intermediate, and advanced markers, but these vary within their own levels as well.

Adam

This is not an easy topic, really! Congratulations for the skillful and smart way you manage things.

Canardo

thank you for the topic. i am 4 months pregnant now.

ratuwulan

Good luck Ratuwulan :)

Adam

Making a baby is easier than understanding this advanced, exploratory, baby lesson.

LEARNER

LOL

Adam

Thanks, Adam.
May I ask in this kind of sentence ‘there is sth + verb + …’ the verb should be base form or not?

Sophie

I would like ask one more questions
The situation of class can we say ‘class atmosphere’or ‘class vibe’? Or there is any other term?
Besides, how about the situation of school? ‘school atmosphere’?
Thanks in advance.

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

In most cases I’d say it’s the infinitive (There is something to do…). Otherwise it might be the gerund, though not acting as a verb.

As for school, atmosphere and vibe essentially mean the same thing. Vibe is more of a slang word, so more casual.

Adam

love this lesson more
you are great teacher

mariem

It is a very good video! Thank you!

FridApricus

BlackVenus

Thanks Adam! Very good lesson to improve our vocabulary!

Cristina Canale

Hi Adams! Thanks for this lesson, it is really important to learn about. Since I have a 18 months son, I can say I was a bit familiar with some words, but some of them I did not know until now.

Aleachi

Hi Adam! As a medical doctor I really have to congratulate you. This lesson is clear, complete and I have to admit that I learned a lot (not about the pregnancy ) of vocabulary.
You always seem to be “in a good shape”. Do you have a secret? Thanks a lot.

dukenchik

A great lesson Adam. I learnt a lot through this.

SanjulaHapugoda

Thank you, Adam, for this interesting vocabulary lesson!

Having a baby, when not by accident, as you said, is a very difficult and heavy decision, which brings a lot of responsibilities for years and years to come. Nonetheless, after this tough phase, if the outcome is affirmative, one have to congratulate the spouse and yourself for this new life.

Verba volant. Scripta et video manent :)

fatihaeng

Thanks, Adam.

alfred74

Very interesting lesson. Your way of teaching is great! The story of having a baby you want to deliver is easy to understand to me. Although i don’t know the meanings of vocabulary about having a baby, but i could guess what they mean though the story you were telling

Jack Quy

You must be a teacher of biology!!!

Zemich

Thank you for this lesson. For the parents their kids are really an endless topic to discuss.

k-nata

I’m grateful. This is what I’m looking for, coz my wife is going to give a birth next week and I want to express about. Thanks a lot…

Ayaz Gul

Hello of all ,Thank you Adam , It is really interesting lesson , especially the medical terms , at least students may know the english expression in the right place , i am really delighted about what you do Adam , continue progressing , many thank you for all and good luck .

samirpro

thank you for the lecture teacher :) Does anyone know what “suck away” means by the way?

sodojsa

Hi Sodojsa,

In most cases it’s a slang term meaning ‘takes’. The boss sucked away all my desire to work hard — the boss took my desire so that I don’t have it anymore.

Is this what you meant? (it’s hard to know exactly without more context)

Adam

Thanks Adam. One more time another great lesson.

Carlos Lima

Hello adam I’m understanding same of your lesson because I have lettle english ..
I hope my language will be better with this website.

Murtada hashim

Great lesson!
These words and expressions will certainly help me to understand better english language.

miguellendario

Thank you, Adam. Great lesson, like always!
I have a question. What is the difference between Childbed and Childbirth?

ericamunhoz

Hi Erica,

To be honest, I had to look up childbed. It is the condition of giving birth. I had never heard it before. It might just be old-fashioned.

Adam

Great lesson!!

pafsilipoclub

The lesson is great. Thanks Adam.

Lucia Loan

Your lesson has a lot of complicated things but you managed to get them across so simply. Thank you!

Sebert

This lecture should have given by Emma as an insider. :)

Very useful training

rghulam77

Thank you,Adam! To me it is very useful information in English because I am working with the babies in Day Care Chid Center.

larysa6165

Thank you so much. I love these!

Tinaisblessed

Thank you, Adam. I found out this video very valuable! I have something to share with you. When I was a beginner it was difficult to study even simple videos, I just learnt and learnt any EngVid lessons that I could. But now plenty of them are quite boring to me because I don’t get anything new. This one is a real treasure. I watched several times. Interesting topic, new words for my vocabulary and your great manner to explain. Well done, Adam! It’s amazing work!

Lakrat

Thank you Lakrat. I’m glad you’re good enough to be bored now :)

Adam

Adam! Thank you a lot.I am a new student. I love your videos.
Sir, I have a question that why we write English alphabets in capital and small form? We can write in capital form or in small only then why the combination of small and capital letters?
Thanks

abajan

Welcome Abajan :)

We use capitals for proper names of things or to indicate we are starting a new sentence.

Adam

love this topic, adam !

Congratulations Leodknuth :)

Adam

thanks Adam, this lesson is more difficult, but never ever give up!I´m from Brazil!

cesar leal

Hi Adam, I’m a novice for this website and you’re my favourite teacher. Could you explain the difference
between cradle and crib, please?

Ludima

Hi Ludima,

A crib is more like a bed with a cage around it. A cradle is smaller and often moves back and forth to help get the baby to sleep. If you do an online search for images you will see the difference.

Adam

No matter how many hardships I encounter you are helping me by publishing your lectures on the Youtube thanks :)

FikretOzkan

Happy Birthday, Adam!

Elena

Thank you Elena :)

Danilay

You’ve already asked your parents where BABIES COME FROM? Oh, that’s great!

If I had that chance again, I would do it; believe me!

Bye, see you soon.

Regino

If the baby starts crying you need to breastfeed or nurse (which is another good word) the baby. Formula is a last resort if you are really concerned about your baby’s health. Are you aware that among the special nutrients in the formula is palm oil, which is not good even for adults. If you have issues with breastfeeding find a consultant, maybe you would need to learn how to latch on to the breast (2) properly and what to do if you experience engorgement (3). Also,many babies need to be burped (4) after feeding, as they might become colicky (5) and fussy. Some parent calm down their babies by practicing safe co-sleeping (6).

haliota

Or it’s time to change a baby diaper :)

Viacheslav

hussein gibreel

Hi, Adam! I congratulate you on your excellent lesson!I had never thought in this vocabulary before. I like your professional and didactic way to teach, and your videos are rather useful. Thanks!

Eduardo França

I love this lesson. Thanks

Marlitro

is knocked up is less polite than a bun in the oven?

Mohamed Rabiaa

Adam

thank you Adam.

ozanozan12

Adam, I’m proud of myself because I could understand Everything you said.It was amazing…Thanks for your explication.

ChrisNavy

hello Adam, your quiz is so hilarious. I am can’t help laughing, Thanks, I am gonna put my niece in a little prison :))

Nguyen Van Hau

very useful

Mohamed Sedky

a bit hard to remember about the vocabularies, and i’m going to choose subject of practical nursing. Do you have some idea to remember vocabularies? Thank you for your helpful lessons.

ANNA K.C

the key is repeating .. repeat repeat and repeat, you can also practicing speaking with another person, i guess that is the best way to remember vocabulary.

rachid.amrani

Dear Adam, thank you for this great and useful lesson. I want to ask you to make a video about women diseases. I am sure that it would be very helpful for all women around the world who have immigrated to other countries and English is their second language.

Thanks in advance :)

sayalian

thank you very much for your great effort ^_^

Abd-elwahed

Dr Youcef

thank you teacher

Gamar2016

Wow buddy! Was an awesome and fun lesson, I learned a lot with you, even more that i had thought, new words, expressions, slags and more. You did it again! As good teacher I suppose that you research before giving a class because of you have explained easily. If may I give you an advice… make sure the next time, do a chronology time line, this to not go back at the beginning and then to the last part and then to middle part, I think you know what I mean, your scheme was helpful but if i were you, i would had put in this order:
Conceive/conception (sperm,egg)
Pregnant, knocked up, have a bun in the oven.
OBGYN-Obstetrician,gynecologist-midwise
Due-date
Trimester-zygote-embryo-fetus-baby
Contractions- go into labor-give birth-deliver
Epidural-Cesarean-(c-section)
Umbilical cord -cut the cord.
Diapers-formula-cradle-crib-stroller-pacifier.

Ah! Please let me know if i made mistakes, my worst English skill is the writing, so,I try to write as many times as i can, and of course read, read and read!
Keep up with this amazing job!
All the best!

JGeorge

Thank you Adam.

katy124

“You don’t know what to do, you conceive a baby.” This made me laugh for a minute!

wangmichael

Hi Adam.
We Japanese often translate many things from English. For example, in this case, crib is said “baby bed”, stroller is called “baby car”. Not only those kind of things, but there are many things translated/transformed for Japanese. Thus, if we say something mistranslated, native speakers often don’t understand what we mean lol.

juneriver

Thank you a lot Adam!I am a new student here)So i took two quizzes (1st about internet words and 2nd about pregnancy)So in the 1st test i got 10 correct answers but here only 8!Therefore i know more about internet than about pregnancy. LOL! Anyway thank you again it was funny)))

aLyuba

Well, since no one replied to your post Alyuba, I took the liberty to do it.

Welcome to EngVid!!! The best website to learn English at your own pace.

You’re on the right track Alyuba. Keep up the good work! Bye for now.

Regino

Oh,gosh! Making mistakes as usual. What I meant was . . . “I took the liberty of doing so”

Well, . . .We all make mistakes!

Regino

Hi Single people do not know more about pregnancy. But two people a male and female can do and know more! :-)

hadil99

My older sister was born through a natural birth. I was born through a c-section.

Astri

Hi Adam! nice lesson, really appreciate it! I have a question related to babies! I even talked with one interpreter here in Ukraine about it (Hi from Ukraine by the way).The thing is the way you call strangers. In Russian there is the word “дядя” or “тетя” literally mean uncle and aunt, and these words related not only to family ties but also to any strange man and woman (especially used between little child and parent) When child walks in a park with his mom and approaches to stranger and tries talk to him, mom might suggest that this is “дядя” which sounds quit friendly whereas “stranger” seems to sound cold and alienated. The question is are there in English similar words to russian “дядя и тетя” ? Hope my question makes sense)))

Mark Mischenko

Hmmm, that’s a good question. The first term that comes to mind is “Auntie”, which is used in (among others) Indian and Caribbean English.

Adam,thank you for explaining the expressions,it was not hard to understand the given theme.Adam, I wonder if you could explain common expressions used by a mother talking to a new baby and then an infant.I think it would be interesting for those who tries to raise their kids bilingual.Unfortunately,there is no any vocabulary on such a topic.I am looking forward to hear from you soon. Thanks

Surenapi

Well, it seems that I have understood this lesson although it isn’t my best topic but it was a good explanation about how the babies are born in English. Thanks a lot teacher Adam for your performance.
