Hi guys. Welcome back to English with Max.
Today we are going to learn some bathroom vocabulary. This isn't actually
my bathroom. This is my parents' bathroom. It's the main bathroom in my parents'
house. My bathroom is a little smaller, so I thought this one would be a bit more
interesting. Okay, so we'll start with the mirror. That's me in the mirror... obviously.
And below we have the bathroom sink. So this space here is the sink and this is
the tap. That's for the cold water. That's for the hot water. That is hand soap, okay?
So we call this hand soap because it's specifically for our hands (when we wash
our hands). I think that's pretty logical. Okay, here we have some tissues. In
American English they're normally called Kleenex, because Kleenex is a very
popular brand of tissue. There we have a fake plant. My mum used to have lots of
real plants, but she got a bit tired of maintaining them, so now we have some
quite realistic-looking fake plants. Okay, over here we have a brush.
This is a nail brush. These are... Well, I call them Q-tips, but there are a few
different words for these. Here we have some toothpaste. I'm sure
you know what that is for. Toothpaste. Here we have a toothbrush. It's a regular
toothbrush. And here we have an electric toothbrush. Some people like to joke
about these and they'll say that these can be used for more than one thing
because they vibrate. I'm not passing any judgment, but in case you're wondering
mine is just used to clean my teeth. This is moisturiser for the face.
This is also moisturiser, but this is tinted moisturiser. It's also called BB
cream, okay? Now it's called tinted moisturiser because it has some colour in
it. It makes you look like you have a bit of a tan. This is also moisturiser. (clears throat)
Excuse me. It's also moisturiser, but it's for the hands and the body. It's probably very
similar to this, but well... I guess they figure they can make more money if they
put a different word on the label. Here we have a night light. This is quite
clever because even though it's plugged in and the power is turned on,
it detects that there is light, so it is off. But when it's dark, it comes back on. In
Australia we normally have switches next to power or on power outlets. So right at
the power point. It's just an extra safety feature. So that means
there'll be no power and with that the power is on. What else?
Here we have a towel. This is called a hand towel because... da da da da! We use
it to dry our hands. And be careful of the pronunciation.
We don't usually say hanD Towel. We link it and we say hand towel. Hand towel.
Down there we have a bin. There's nothing in it at the moment because I just
emptied it, but yeah, that's a bin. Ah yes! And down here we have a hairdryer.
Hairdryer. That down there is a bath mat, okay? And on the floor these are tiles. Tiles.
There're also some tiles on the wall, for example, these. These are tiles. Okay and
there we have the toilet. Next to the toilet is the toilet brush, and that is a
toilet roll holder. Okay? It holds toilet rolls. It holds toilet paper. Okay. Toilet
paper. Very useful stuff. Here we have a bath. So you could call this a bath or
you could call it a bathtub. So bath or bathtub. That's a soap holder, so normally
there's soap in there... This is a plug. This is what we put in here if you... if we
want to have a bath. This is a hose... So a bit different to the hose... to the types of
hoses that we have in gardens, but we would also call this a hose. Maybe a
shower hose or a bath hose. Okay... This is a regular towel. So this is...
You could just call it a towel or if you want to be specific, you could call it a
bath towel. Here we have the shower... This shower is... Well, it's particularly big.
I think it's a little bit excessive (we don't really need showers this big), but... I don't know,
I didn't design the house and neither did my parents. This is a walk-in shower
because you walk into it and it's flat - you can walk around. Some showers are,
like, in bathtubs. We wouldn't call those walk-in showers. These are doors. More
specifically they are glass sliding doors 'cos they slide. It's now apparently
illegal to make shower doors with this type of material. In other words,
glass with small pieces of wire because if you fall, it's... it can cause more
damage. Um, yeah. But this house was built in the 1980s so we still have that. Okay,
what else? Okay, hot water, cold water. We call this the shower head. Shower head.
Here we have a rack... This here (this brown stuff) is rust, because obviously if you
have metal that is exposed to water very frequently, often it will rust. "To rust"
and the noun is "rust". And the adjective is "rusty". Here we have some soap in the
soap holder. This is a face washer. So we wouldn't call this a face towel, we would
call this a washer or a face washer. I'm sure you know these words. This is shampoo and this is conditioner. Be careful of the pronunciation. It's not con-ditioner. It's conditioner. The first
vowel is a schwa. Conditioner. Conditioner. And that is some face wash. And that is another bath mat. Oh yes, and I forgot about this. This is a shower cap. Something you
can put over your hair if you don't want it to get wet when you're having
a bath or a shower. That's it, guys. I hope you found this useful. If you would like me to do more
videos of things around the house, just let me know in the comments.
See you next time, guys!
