| Hi everybody, my name is Alisha. |
| Welcome to the 2000 Core English Words and Phrases video series. |
| Each lesson will help you learn new words, practice and review what you've learned. |
| Okay, let's get started. |
| First is |
| break out |
| Breakout has a couple different uses, but for today, let's talk about the one that |
| means to have lots and lots of pimples appear on your skin because of a skin condition. |
| So sometimes, especially when we're young, stress and changing bodies can create lots |
| and lots of break outs. |
| Here's an example. |
| I wash my face every day so I don't break out. |
| chin |
| Chin is a body part. |
| The chin is this part of your body, the part just below your lips. |
| It's this edge of your face right here. |
| Here's an example. |
| He has food on his chin. |
| forehead |
| Your forehead is this part of your face, this part of your body. |
| Your forehead is the section of your face from about your eyebrows up until your hairline, |
| this part right here. |
| Here's an example. |
| The newest thermometer can take a temperature in the ear or on the forehead. |
| blonde hair |
| Blonde hair is a type of hair color. |
| Blonde hair usually looks yellow or maybe yellowish white. |
| It can also be a kind of dirty blonde, which means that it's a little bit of a brownish |
| or yellow color. |
| Here's an example. |
| The woman has blonde hair. |
| black hair |
| Black hair refers to hair that is black in color. |
| It's a very, very common hair color. |
| Here's an example. |
| The woman has black hair. |
| brown hair |
| Brown hair is another super common hair color. |
| I have brown hair. |
| Brown hair can be very light or very dark brown. |
| Here's an example. |
| She has brown hair and dimples. |
| red hair |
| Red hair is not such a common hair color compared to, say, black hair or brown hair. |
| And red hair isn't usually bright red, like a flower or an apple, but rather it's a little |
| bit orange red. |
| Here's an example. |
| The woman has long red hair. |
| tooth |
| A tooth is one of the things, the white things in your mouth that you use to eat with. |
| So singular, it's tooth, one tooth. |
| In the plural form, all of them, it is teeth. |
| Here's an example. |
| When your tooth hurts, it's important to go to the dentist. |
| wrinkle |
| A wrinkle is something that happens in our skin as we get older. |
| So the skin, when we are very, very young, is very, very smooth. |
| But as we get older and we smile and laugh and cry and have experiences, we will start |
| to see lines in our face. |
| These are called wrinkles and they're totally normal. |
| Here's an example. |
| The old woman has a lot of wrinkles. |
| eyebrow |
| Your eyebrow is the part of your face that is above your eye and below your forehead. |
| It's this line of hair that is above your eye. |
| Be careful with pronunciation here. |
| This is eyebrow. |
| Sometimes I hear learners say eyebrow. |
| This is incorrect. |
| It's eyebrow. |
| Here's an example. |
| Women often pluck their eyebrow hairs. |
| Let's review. |
| I'm going to describe a word or phrase in English, see if you can remember it. |
| Then repeat after me, focusing on pronunciation. |
| Ready? |
| Do you remember how to say the verb that means to suddenly have lots and lots of pimples |
| on your face? |
| breakout |
| And how to say this part of your body right here, below your mouth and at the edge of |
| your face. |
| chin |
| What about the part of your body right here, above your eyebrows and below your hairline? |
| forehead |
| Do you remember the expression for someone's hair that is a white or maybe yellowish color? |

| You could think of this as having no color. |
| black hair |
| What about the expression that I could use to describe my hair color? |
| brown hair |
| Now let's see if you remember how to say the expression that we use for the not-so-common |
| hair color that looks a little bit orange colored. |
| red hair |
| Another one. |
| What about the word for the white thing in your mouth that you use to eat food with? |
