A marvelous TV program!Thank you, Neil and Dan!

I LOVE BBC learning english video thank you so much.

Great explanation in order to use the correct words at the right places. Thank you.

Sometimes when we are in discussion i feel awkward to explain ideas, i feel so excited, feel shy to use english language and it come a difficult moment for me to find a vocabulary to use in my conversation or explanation. This appear to be awkward moment for me.

Hi there ! That kind of experiments reminds me "hidden cameras" tv shows where people are exposed to situations where some social rules were broken. That kind of programs are fun, but don't teach you anything ! Thanks for the video, useful as always !

A great video to practice english listening . Looking forward to your next videos. 🤩🤩

As usual good english vocabulary learning video ❤️

Love it ! Very useful !

We need These kind of Language practices. I always skip any sociology lectures in BBC instead of wasting time bcz they use words that we can't comprehend. If I get helps like this lingohack videos, probably I would utilize the chance to learn more vocabularies from social scientists appear in BBC.

Thank you so much to let me learn more English from here.

It was a great short lesson. Good on you, mate

There are many reasons why we feel like that. I felt awkward so many times. It was a difficult feeling in my opinion. I felt uncomfortable and akward in uknown places for me. When i talked to people who i didn't know i felt that way. I was shy. I am half of introvert and i like being alone. But some people think that introverts feel uncomfortable with many people. It's not true in fact. People who said was really wrong. Thanks BBC for your great work😊

A great video to practice listening English. Thanks, BBC My note while listening The main topic today is the feeling of awkwardness. For example, when we watch an explicit love scene with our parents. We're gonna learn about how awkwardness feeling is connected with social rules. Implicit social rules govern our behavior which is massively powerful because we all follow the social rules such as what to do in certain situations. To understand what unspoken social rules are, one possible way to illuminate them is to break/breach the rules on purpose. For example, you can find a nearly empty carriage, and instead of sitting a distance away, you can choose to sit next to a person. If this leads to awkwardness, you definitely discover a social rule.

I find the video interesting! I can improve my listening skills and acquire new knowledge at the same time. Really helpful, thank you .

Neil: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I'm Neil. Dan: And I'm Dan. Neil: Now then, Dan, do you ever feel awkward? Dan: Awkward? Neil: Yes, feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed or self-conscious in a social situation where something isn’t quite right. Dan: Sometimes. I remember always feeling very awkward watching TV with my parents if there was an explicit love scene. You know, people canoodling. Neil: Oh yes, me too! And that feeling of awkwardness is what we are looking at in today's 6 Minute English, and how it is all connected to social rules. Dan: 'Social rules' are the unspoken rules which we follow in everyday life - the way we interact with other people and particularly with strangers. Neil: Yes. For example, if you’re waiting at a bus stop, it’s OK to talk about the weather to a stranger. Dan: But it would be very awkward if you broke that social rule by asking them about, oh I don't know, how much money they earned. Neil: Oh yes, that would be wrong, wouldn't it? And we’ll find out about another awkward situation on the underground railway later in the programme. Before that though, a quiz. Which city has the oldest underground railway? Is it: a) London b) New York or c) Tokyo Dan: Aha! Well, I’m pretty confident about this! I think it’s London. Neil: Well, I’ll have the answer later in the programme. Dr Raj Persuad is a psychologist. He was a guest on the BBC radio programme Seriously. He was talking about social rules. How does he say they affect our lives? Dr Raj Persaud: How do we understand what the implicit social rules are that govern our behaviour? They're so implicit. They're so almost invisible - yet we all obey them - i.e. they're massively powerful that the only way to get at them, because you couldn't use an MRI brain scanner or a microscope… What's the tool you would use to illuminate the social rules that actually govern our lives? Neil: How do they affect our lives? Dan: He says that they govern our behaviour, they govern our lives - this means that they 'control' our lives. They 'rule' our lives. Neil: What’s interesting is he says these social rules are 'implicit'. They are not written down anywhere. They are unspoken but understood. Dan: If they are unspoken and not written down, how can scientists and sociologists study them? How can they find out about them? They need a way to illuminate the rules. This means 'a way of shining a metaphorical light on them to see what they are'. Neil: Here’s Dr Persaud again. Dr Raj Persaud: How do we understand what the implicit social rules are that govern our behaviour? They're so implicit. They're so almost invisible - yet we all obey them i.e. they're massively powerful that the only way to get at them, because you couldn't use an MRI brain scanner or a microscope… What's the tool you would use to illuminate the social rules that actually govern our lives? Neil: One way to find out about a rule is to break it. Another word for 'break' when we're talking about rules is 'breach' and breaching experiments were used to learn about social rules. Here's Dr Persaud describing one of those experiments. Dr Persaud: You breached the social rule on purpose. So a classic one - people would go into the Metro, the underground railway - Tube - and there'd be only one person sitting in a carriage. You would go and sit next to that person. And if that led to awkwardness or discomfort, where the person got off the tube stop immediately, you had discovered a social rule. Neil: So, what was the experiment? Dan: Well, quite simply, find a nearly empty train carriage and then go and sit right next to someone rather than a distance away. If that person then feels uncomfortable or awkward, and that's something you can tell by watching their behaviour - for example, do they change seat, move carriage or get off the train completely? If they do, then you know you’ve discovered a rule. Neil: So you find a rule by breaking it or breaching it. OK, time to review our vocabulary, but first, let’s have the answer to the quiz question. I asked which city has the oldest underground railway. Is it: a) London b) New York and c) Tokyo Dan, you were pretty confident. Dan: I was! I said London, but... now I'm having second thoughts. I think it might be New York. Neil: Oh… That's a little bit awkward, isn't it? Well, it is London, so I don't know if you're right or wrong! I feel a bit uncomfortable now. The facts are that London opened in 1863. New York was 1904 and Tokyo, 1927. Well done, and extra bonus points if you knew any of those dates. Now it's time for our vocabulary. I hope it doesn’t make you feel awkward, but you can you start, Dan? Dan: Of course! And the adjective 'awkward', and its noun 'awkwardness', are on our list for today. They mean 'an uncomfortable feeling in a social situation'. Neil: This is all connected with the idea of social rules - unspoken, but well known rules which we follow in daily life to avoid awkward situations. Dan: The rules, as Neil said, are not spoken and they are not written down but we know them and understand them. They are 'implicit'. Neil: And these implicit rules govern our lives. The verb 'govern' means to 'control and rule'. Dan: To see something clearly, either in reality or metaphorically, you need to put some light on it. You need illuminate it. And that was the next of our words, the verb 'illuminate'. Neil: And finally we had a word which means, when we're talking about rules, the same as break, to 'breach'. Dan: In experiments they breached the rules to learn more about them. Neil: Well, we don’t want to breach any rules so it’s time for us to leave you for today. But don’t worry we will be back. In the meantime, you can find us in all the usual places online and on social media, just look for BBC Learning English. Bye for now.

Those who find being in an awkward circumstance intriguing are characters with either great sense of humour or contracting psychiatry impaired problem. Though the gap between being unacceptable and being still in control is implicit when there is insufficient evaluating means in social rules regardless of how much attempt put into this field to illuminate what it exactly is by sociologists. Admittedly, breaching this vague norm is sometimes regarded as a bold behavior meaning awkwardness which is an irritable thing for many people is nothing like fairy dust to the triggering ones. How cool it is! Just trying to put new words into practice!

Nice video...

Can BBC tell the difference between 'jump', 'leap', 'hop' and 'skip'?

ntroduction We all know the feeling. That horrible uncomfortable silence where we freeze up, or look away or just want to turn invisible. Awkwardness can strike anyone in the wrong circumstances. But why does it happen? How is it connected to rules and what does it have to do with society? Neil and Dan find out and teach you related vocabulary. This week's question Which city has the oldest underground railway? Is it: a) London b) New York or c) Tokyo Listen to the programme to find out the answer. Vocabulary awkward (adjective), awkwardness (noun) feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious or embarrassed in a social situation implicit not spoken or written down, but still understood social rules the way we behave in society in particular situations so that we can live together peacefully to govern to rule, to control to illuminate to make something easier to understand, to clarify to breach (a rule) to break (a rule) Transcript Note: This is not a word for word transcript Neil Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
