🎨 HOW TO TALK ABOUT BASIC COLORS IN ENG...

About this episode

Alright, it's a new day. I have a new shirt on, but we still have a few colors to talk about. The first one I would like to talk about is orange. Yeah, it's a little hard to pronounce. Orange. Orange. 🟨 To become a member and get special videos, join the Discord server, and special member chats, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCakDTg9dhhAsr3WmHyJDa-g/join Some people say there is no other word in English that sounds like orange. Oranges are orange in color. The pumpkin is orange. And if you look at that picture, that's true. The thing right over here, we call that an orange, and it just so happens to be orange in color. And the thing right next to it, pumpkin. I'm actually recording this on Halloween, one of the days, maybe the only day, known for pumpkins. Halloween. Let's scroll down a little bit more. Purple. Grapes can be purple. And if you look at that picture over there, there are a few bunches of grapes hanging from the tree. Purple is a cool color, and it's my favorite. So if you remember from the last part of the video, I said yellow was my favorite color. But my wife, Jamie, her favorite color is purple. Purple. Hopefully, not too hard to say. The next color is brown. This is one of my least favorite colors. I probably like brown the least of all the colors, I think. Couple things that are brown. Chocolate is brown. I can't resist chocolate, especially brownies. And if you look in the picture, on the left side, that is a bar of chocolate. And on the right side is something we call brownies in English. This next color, I kind of like. It's probably in my top five favorite colors. Pink. Flamingos are pink birds. And if you look at that picture, that bird that's standing straight up is what we call a flamingo in English. I don't think flamingos can fly. Most birds can fly, but I don't think the flamingo can. If you know that it can, please let me know in the comments. And next to the flamingo is a pink milkshake. And I'm thinking that is a strawberry milkshake. Flamingos are pink birds. Strawberry milkshakes can also be pink. This next color, black, is a color that a lot of people like. If you look at that picture, you can barely see the outline of a black cat. I believe, let's make it a little bigger, but I believe those eyes are yellow. Yeah. Take a look. The knight is black. The cat is black. During the day, the sky is blue, but when the sun goes down, the sky turns to mostly black. You might see a little bit of light, and we call those little bits of light stars. And last but not least, white. Snow is white. The paper is white. I think behind me, this background here, it's mostly white. Maybe a couple shades of white. We may talk about shades in the next lesson on colors. That's going to do it for today's lesson about important colors in English.
