s in English Repeat the phrases you hear out loud over and over again Review all the lessons on English class 101.com to fully master them Read line slowly at first and then read again and increase your speed set small, measurable learning goals with your personal deadlines try harder lessons to challenge yourself and improve faster 10 ways to stop translating in your head let's get started identify objects around you in English the first way to stop translating in your head is to identify the objects around you in your target language, so if you are studying English, that means you look at the objects around the room, you look at things in your life, don't think about them in your native language, think about them in your first target language, so if I look around the room I see a computer.

I shouldn't think about the word from my native language. I have to think of the word from my target language, so I start with the elements and situations in your everyday life. If I say computer in English maybe I should say computer in Japanese I should say no I don't know water in English I should say omizu in Japanese so start associating the words in your target language with your everyday life now so if you are studying English that means you start to get familiar with things in your daily life in English repeat the phrases you hear native speakers use number two is repeat the phrases you hear native speakers use so if you're watching this channel for example , or you're watching a TV show or a movie, listen for the way native speakers make those phrases if you hear a phrase you've never heard before or hear an interesting combination of words try to repeat them yourself don't just listen try to say them yourself Even if you are in a public space and it is difficult for you to do that excellent

practice

in a place where you feel more comfortable, maybe if you have a private space to

practice

, just repeat them, get your mouth used to saying the words the same way you say them. native speakers do, if you actually never say words if you're just assimilating, if you're just listening and you're not actually producing the language.

It's a little difficult to really practice and perfect your pronunciation to improve the enunciation of your pronouns, so when you listen. for native speakers try to repeat after them, so for example if you are studying English you can try to repeat after this video, you can repeat after the things that I am saying because maybe I am using an expression or I am using a certain strings of vocabulary words together like a native speaker would and maybe it's a good idea to try to practice the ways that native speakers put their words together, so try to repeat after the native speakers, especially when you watch the media and can do this.

When you are reading books, you can also try reading aloud, reading interesting lines from books you find, or something that may be difficult for you. A good tip to practice, create a situation where you cannot escape into your native language. a situation where you cannot escape into your native language essentially means immersing yourself, of course, going to that country or going to a place where you can speak only that language is very difficult for some of you to totally understand, but if in your life you can create a situation in your library in your room in your house somewhere for just an hour or I don't know maybe one day I don't know what your schedule is like but if you can create a situation or create an environment where you have you have no choice but use that language and you can't escape, which means you can't go back to using your native language as a crutch, you can't use the native language at all, it forces you to use the language you're studying, so of course if you have the luck of living in the countryside or living in a place where people speak the language you are studying great but you have to go out and interact with people, you have to put yourself in a place where you have no choice but to speak is very difficult, It's very scary and very embarrassing at first, but if you take the time to find places and create environments that are comfortable for you, where you feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions, it is very valuable to your learning process. something I totally did.

I totally did this. My Japanese wasn't very good for a long time, but then I started making friends who didn't speak English. In fact, I just did this by looking for hobbies. There was a hobby I had. I joined a group. I actually joined a school where I could learn to do that hobby and everything was taught only in Japanese and the people in my class only spoke Japanese for the most part and then maybe we would go out for drinks and food late at night or on weekends. and they all spoke only Japanese and if I couldn't communicate even simply in Japanese I had no hope of keeping that friendship together, so it forced me to study, it forced me to think about the words they were using and try to learn those words. patterns as well as how to produce them naturally, so I was learning the vocabulary that the people around me used and learning how to apply them on my own, that was only possible because I had no escape in those situations, so I try to do it even if You can do it yourself at home, it is very useful.

I think watching TV and movies in your target language without subtitles. Tip number four is to watch TV and movies in your target language without subtitles, so I think watching with subtitles can be very beneficial, so if I'm watching something or if you want to watch something with subtitles, that's great, but sometimes I find I can, in my case, I think too much about reading the subtitles and forget to listen, so maybe if you have watched a movie in your target language several times with the subtitles on. Try turning off the subtitles and think about the similar character's body language.

The words they are using. You can always look them up later. Look up the words you know. I don't know in a dictionary, but try to do it by focusing entirely on the way people use their words. Try not to use subtitles, so play around with them if there's a word you find difficult. Here you can also turn on subtitles in the native language of the movie, that's something I've done as if I wanted to study Japanese. It is very useful when actual spoken Japanese words appear on the screen. On screen it is sometimes easier for me to grasp a word if I see it visually and hear it at the same time, so another way to explore how television and movies can be used is to turn on subtitles such as words in the screen in the native language of the movie, so this is kind of two points in one, so one watches movies without subtitles, which means subtitles in your native language is also a suggestion for watching movies with subtitles turned on, but the subtitles are in your target language, not your native language, so you can try those two things with TV and with movies.

Don't bring a dictionary to your lesson number five: Don't bring a dictionary to your lesson, okay, so give me a second. I understand that dictionaries, especially electronic dictionaries, we have on our phones now are very, very convenient, of course it is important to use them and they are a great resource, however, there is one thing that really bothers me and that I think is harmful , it is not. useful for students is when students are in a lesson and they are practicing

conversation

and they get to a point in the conversation where they don't know the word they want to use, they know it in their native language and they don't know how to say it in their target language they take out their dictionary and tell the person listening to them their practice partner in their lesson where they have a limited period of time just a moment and then they look it up on their phone and it takes them a few seconds the flow of the conversation is He stops and then they say a word and I was like, “wow, no, you don't, you don't have that ability, you don't have the ability to do that in a conversation with a native speaker that most people like.” If you go to a bank and try to open a bank account, are you really going to take out your dictionary and sit there and try to communicate what you know?

Just a moment, just a moment, while you look up every word you don't know, no or If you do, that's not a real conversation, so try using a different strategy. I mean, if you come across a word you don't know in conversation, explain the word to your conversation partner, maybe he knows the word if you are talking to a native speaker, this is an opportunity to be taught a word. I find that when people take the time to teach me a word, I remember it much better than just looking it up in my dictionary, so try to resist, maybe you can bring a dictionary. to your lesson but don't use it or try not to use it in your conversation, practice this, it just destroys the flow of a conversation, so instead practice the skill of describing the vocabulary word you want to use and learn to ask the meaning . of a word or learn to ask your partner for a vocabulary word so you can use an expression like ah, what's the word that means blah, blah, blah or you know it's this thing that does this and this and this, so this is an opportunity to You can describe the characteristics of something or find a different way.

You can use your body language. You can use whatever. You have many tools, but try not to use a dictionary in a conversation because it is unrealistic to train answers to common questions. Number six is ​​a The first quick one, I think clue number six, the number six that I have is just training answers to common questions, training answers to common questions, so, for example, a very common question in English is Hello, how are you? You should know how to answer this question, you only have one default value. response hey, how are you? I'm fine, if it takes you too long to answer the question, hey, how are you?

You need to practice. I think that's a pretty good indicator, so for example, sometimes I ask students a question like they haven't quite gotten the idea of ​​how to respond yet they're not that quick to respond I say uh hey how are you and they They say yes and then they think and leave. I'm uh, I'm. it's not good and it's like it's a very common question so just think of a predetermined answer that you can spit out and you can quickly say was it your weekend or hey what's up or what do you want to do for dinner tonight? ?

Think about something like that. just a handful, that is, just a few answers to those questions and train them quickly how are you? I am good how are you? I'm fine, how are you? It's not bad, there are three, so it's just training answers to those questions, there's no reason to be. Surprised by a question like How are you? It is a very common question, so for those common questions, train the answers. We have a ton of videos, especially beginner level videos, to see some examples of responses you can make, so don't get stuck with these. small questions just train some answers practice some answers until they seem natural to you, it will save you time and help the person asking the question move forward in the conversation.

Okay, study with materials that don't provide a translation, the next tip is to study with materials that don't provide a translation, so by this I mean if you're using worksheets or some kind of textbook or whatever and you have your target language, the language you are studying and has your native language next to it, while this can be helpful, I think if you can study your materials only in your target language and then simplified explanations for more detailed points in your language as well target language may be a little better, so I don't want to say that you should only study things in your target language and nothing in your native language because of course sometimes it can be useful to look up a word or understand a grammatical point in your language native, but when possible, if you can find something. which provides simplified explanations in the target language, can be really helpful because again you're thinking that you're learning to think more simply on a more basic level about the language that you're studying in the language that you're studying.

So this can be really good, so finding some materials to use where there is no translation maybe you can practice, of course, with books and written materials, but also with similar video materials, so there are a variety of different ways in which that you can um, find materials in your target language, like videos and television, so some things to think about are the level of vocabulary words that people use in themultimedia content you are watching, who the multimedia content is intended for children, youth, adults, the speed at which the speaker speaks, so I have the ability to change the difficulty level of the videos depending on the speed of speech, the vocabulary words I use and how many idioms and similar things I use, so I could make a very difficult video.

Make a very difficult video series by leveling up our user vocabulary by speaking very fast or, as you can see in our Three Minute English series, we can also use very simple vocabulary and speak at a slow pace, so maybe be correct. This is a very intermediate level video, so think about it not only for written materials but also for your audio and visual materials. Think about who your audience is, the level of the material, etc., it can be a lot of fun and can be useful. think in your target language in your target language. Okay, we're almost done studying phrases besides.

For single vocabulary the next tip is to study phrases in addition to single vocabulary words, so yes of course vocabulary is important but I personally find it very useful to look at how a vocabulary word is used in a sentence because sometimes Using it in a sentence helps. you understand very well the nuances of that vocabulary word, so if I like a word like crazy, for example in English, depending on the situation in which the word crazy is used, it could mean something different, it could mean like a person mentally confused or confused. It could also mean something really good, it could mean something really bad, so if we look at just the word crazy, it's quite difficult to really understand the meaning of the word, but if we look at the way the word is used in a sentence, we can understand it. a lot more information, so take a look at the way people use words in phrases, not just single vocabulary words, you can learn a lot more that way.

I think do your daily activities in English whenever possible. The next tip is to do your daily activities in your target language, so if you are studying English, that means trying to do some daily activities in English if possible, so this can be something very, very boring, but think about it when you are doing the activity, so right now I am filming a video for

english

class101.com o I am going to work I am preparing breakfast I am doing the laundry What do I have to do tomorrow? So try to think about your everyday life in English.

If you are studying English, try to think about your everyday life. activities, the people you know, what you're doing, this is a way to help you practice your verbs, so if you don't know if you're, I don't know, you're doing something at work and you're like, oh. Oh my gosh, how do I explain what the verb for is? You know a picture like I want blah, blah, blah, a picture. Which is the word? You can look at a dictionary at that point and say, ah, it's drawing. I need to use the verb draw to draw a. image so that you can find these small gaps in your daily life these small gaps in your knowledge if you think about your daily activities in your target language if you don't think about it in your target language you may not realize that you have gaps of vocabulary or spaces in sentences here and there, so this is a really good and fun way to study.

Use a Student Dictionary for new words. The last tip is to use a Student Dictionary for new words. In English, there are student dictionaries available in English, so my favorite, my personal favorite is Merriam-Webster Merriam-Webster is a fantastic dictionary resource, they are very interesting and have tons of similar historical information. I really sit back and like reading things on the dictionary page lately, that's true, but of course there's a definition, there's a meaning to words, there are example sentences for words, but Merriam-Webster also has what you know. called a learning dictionary. If you find a word that you don't recognize, you can check it in a dictionary in a learning dictionary and it gives you a simple simplified explanation in plain English of that word, so instead of checking it in your native language, you can check it in your language. of destiny.

Again, this helps you understand the word you are focused on but understand. It comes from the language you are studying, not your native language, so using a learning dictionary can also be very helpful. Alright, 10 ways to inform speech. We are going to say that the first word is say say as a verb say is a very neutral word. can be used to report someone's speech to explain something someone said in the past, for example, they said the barbecue was cancelled, which is a simple neutral report. The next verb is say. It is used when one person gives information to another to tell someone. something they didn't know before don't say tell me your phone number that's weird but like can you tell me where the station is? can you tell me where to buy a hamburger? can you tell me where to pick up my new car? like this giving information from someone you don't know or on the other hand explaining something in one way to another person so don't tell me what I can't do it's a very good lost reference if you've ever seen Lost so count another example. sentence my boss told me I was doing a good job speak uh the next one is speak speak so we use speak when we talk about language ability like I speak English I speak Japanese we can use speak in the past tense to report something but It usually sounds a little bit longer formal, so I talked to my boss or I talked to my parents or I talked to my boyfriend or girlfriend about blah, blah, blah.

Using speak instead of speaking makes it sound a little more formal, so I can use speak but it will sound polite in a sentence that my colleague talked to me about an upcoming project and said okay, next one, uh, the next two actually. they're very, very casual expressions, so when you're talking to friends and you're nice to talk about a quick conversation, maybe something emotional, you'll hear native speakers, especially Americans, maybe this is something unique to Americans. Use the phrase it was like I was like he was like she was like this is a very informal way of reporting the speech and you I often hear it very, very quickly together, so someone will say I was like what and then she said No.

And then I said, yeah, that's the kind of pattern that you'll hear it in very, very quick ways to inform the speech, but the topic changes. it was like he was like she it was like we were like this this is a way to share what happens quickly instead of I said he said she said which may sound a little too formal we can use I was like he wanted to do that in his place so this is really fun and if you can use this uh naturally I think it will really help you sound more natural too so in one sentence and then he said I love that movie it was all the following is also similar to we have the expression it was all so it was all uh don't worry about everything everything does not have the meaning of something complete or something complete instead it was all this idiom is used to inform speech it is usually used when there is some kind of aspect emotional uh emotional in your conversation or it's a little bit dramatic or maybe a little bit exciting we use it in the same way like in that very, very fast style of speaking and then he said and I was all and then she was like and I was everything we use together, but I was everything has a little more emphasis.

I feel like I tend to use it when I want to express a stronger emotion and I was all no way or and I was all you can. Use it for those emotions very similar to surprise or maybe angry emotions, like and were, both were used in very casual situations, so in one sentence and I was, oh my gosh, I'm talking too, the next word is speak, so speak is similar to say is a fairly neutral Verb when reporting speech, you will use it in a situation where someone gives you new information, but maybe it is a two-way conversation, for example, we talk about blah, blah, blah for a topic or my boss told me about blah. blah blah so maybe new information is being exchanged but the conversation is two way there are multiple participants saying it's like the nuance is some kind of person reporting information giving information he talked to there is an exchange there, so keep in mind when you use the word talk, you'll say, I talked to or I talked to someone, uh, and then you'll usually have a topic, so I talked to my friend about blah, blah, blah, I talked to my friend about my new apartment , Talk to my boss. about a raise I talked to my boss no, I talked to my dog ​​about what dogs do well, so there is some type of exchange that you will have to use when referring to the person or entity you are talking to and you will use about to refer to the topic, so you can use this um yeah, when you want to discuss exchanges of information, so in one sentence she told me about my family mention let's move on to the next one, the next one is mention mention is used when something is just a small point in a conversation, like just a little side note or maybe it's not the focus of a conversation but something someone says quickly or there's just a little thing you hear, oh you mentioned something about blah blah blah or you mentioned that a new project like this maybe not the focus of the conversation, but something you heard a little about, that's when we use the verb mention, we can also use it in a statement like for example, mention any skills you have on a resume, so the nuance is like just a little bit of information when we use mention, so in one sentence our manager mentioned the upcoming changes in the company to continue. and well, the next expression is going on and on, so going on and on means just talking for a long time, so maybe you have a co-worker, a friend or a family member who just talks and won't stop talking.

We say go on and on, that's the expression we use, so in one sentence the speaker at the seminar went on and on about the topic, if you really want to emphasize it you can say he went on and on and on and on and that really emphasizes that the person keeps talking, so if you know someone who does that often, you can use this expression to talk about that person according to the following expression here is agree with, is actually used in the news or like. report something officially like this according to sources or according to the police according to the government official according to my teacher according to my mother these are like direct reports of information and their direct reports of information from a specific source like this according to my neighborhood newspaper it has 50,000 incredible stores of ramen, that's not true, but if I want, instead of just saying that my neighborhood has 50,000 amazing ramen shops, I'll give you a source for that, so according to my newspaper, this is where I got the information, so that this is important to use in news, newspapers and any type of official documentation that you will see and hear according to in these cases ah in a sentence according to a witness at the scene the suspect escaped excellent report so um next is report similar reports Okay With us we use reporting in more official situations to officially share information, like reporting to the police, reporting to your teacher, reporting to your boss, sometimes it means sending documentation, like giving someone a written report, sometimes it's sharing. information officially only with your voice to report news or to report an update so when you want to give and give official information we will use the verb report like this in a sentence the sources in the area report that the accident was not serious thank God very good 10 sentences essentials for the restaurant let's start a table for three please a table for three please tell them the number of people you are in total so that the host can take you to a suitable table a table for two please a table for five please Could I see a menu?

Could I see a menu? Menus are usually handed to you as soon as you sit down at your table, but if that's not the case and you need to ask, this is a polite way of Could you see a menu? I would like to try this dish. I would like to try this dish. As you look at the menu, I hope you find something you want to eat. I would like to try this dish. Could you go? Take out the onions. Could you omit the onions? If there is an ingredient in the dish you are ordering that you don't want, you can always ask the waiter if it can be prepared without that ingredient.

So, for example, you could say: Could I get it? the burger but without cheese, could you skip the salt? Could you pass the salt when you are in a restaurant, especially if you are at a large table with a lot of people, you may not always be able to reach things so you would ask? Could you pass me the salt? Could you pass me the ketchup? because you handed me another napkin. waiter waiter a waiter is someone who takes your order and brings you food in the United States and in many other western countries it is more polite to call a waiter to your table simply by saying excuse me or if you see another waiter walking but it is not your waiter, always can say excuse me if you see ourwaiter.

Could you let them know so they can come to our table? Is there any dairy in this dish? Is there any dairy product in this dish? dairy in this dish this is something you would say if you have a dairy allergy, dairy intolerance or just don't like dairy, you are asking the waiter about the ingredients in a particular dish. I make this all the time, is there cheese? in this it is not okay and if there is an ingredient that you don't want, for example onions, you can say if there are onions in this and the waiter can say yes and if you don't want it, you can always request it.

Could you skip it? the onions, could you make them without the onions please? Can we get separate checks? Can we get separate checks? This is actually a very common thing, especially in the United States, if you are out with a group of friends or even if you go on a date sometimes. you may want to get separate checks to pay for your own things that way everyone can pay separately just for what you ordered yourself and you won't have to worry about owing money to each other or running up a huge bill, are there any special offers ? today there are specials today a special in a restaurant is a dish that is not normally on the menu it is something special but it is a special that the chef offers that day or that week or that month so sometimes if you don't do it see what special offers , I would ask your waiter, excuse me, are there any special offers today?

Could we have the invoice please? Could we have the invoice? This is how you request the check or invoice to arrive at your table. Can we receive the check? We could? receive the bill please you are asking this from your waiter who will then bring you the bill and you can pay 10 words that you can use in a bar let's buy the first expression is buy a round to buy it means buy buy a round of drinks essentially a round of drinks means a drink for everyone in your group a drink for everyone in your group because of the way the word party is used to mean group in a bar or restaurant the number of people in your group is the number of people in your group so buying means buying a drink for everyone in one sentence our boss started the party by buying everyone in a different sentence you are buying the next round at The Rocks the next expression is in the rocks on the Rocks is one way to order a drink when you say with ice it means your drink is on ice only so rocks is the ice in your glass so you can imagine the ice, the ice chunks in your glass, the ice cubes or a ball of ice are like rocks, so saying I'd like a whiskey, for example, on the rocks simply means whiskey served on ice, that's what it means on the rocks, so in a sentence I'd like a gin on the rocks, the next expression is directly, so a straight drink is different from an on the Rock drink.

A pure drink is cooled with ice but strained so that there is no ice in the drink, but it has been chilled with ice, so a pure drink there is nothing else. in the glass but it's a cold drink in a sentence uh, I'd like a martini neat, some people use the word solo or alone, but they mean neat, which is the next word we're going to talk about, so keep that in mind . neat or solo means cold, that's one of the key points here, so yes, a solo martini is a solo cold martini, so the next expression is clean, ordering a drink solo means the drink is not cold and it's not there's ice, it's just, it's just the alcohol it's just the liquor there's nothing special about a neat drink it's just the drink that's it, there's nothing wrong with it, so in a sentence I'd like a neat whiskey, half a pint, the The following expression is actually two expressions, these are words that Use it when ordering beer, they are a pint and a half pint, depending on the country you live in.

The pint may have a different size. They vary by a few milliliters, depending on the country you live in, on a half pint, then it's about half the size of a pint. So, a half pint and a pint are two ways of two sizes that we use to order beer in a sentence. Can I have a half pint of this Stout Chaser? The next expression is Chaser, so a chaser is something used after an alcoholic drink. Hunters are often used after shots, so shots are small drinks that usually have a pretty strong alcohol content and have a very strong flavor, so some people like to have something after that and They call him a hunter, so the image is that the second drink is chasing. the first drink in your body, you can think of it that way, Chaser is a non-alcoholic drink, so it could be water, it could be a soda, it could be something like that juice, maybe so Chaser in a sentence, tequila shots are often followed by Chasers being drunk the next word is being drunk being drunk is a way to describe your feelings when you are drinking so if you can imagine when you are when you are standing straight when you are standing as usual .

You are very confident and tall and you don't move much, but if you feel drunk, this comes from the verb lean like this, so something is leaning to one side or the other, think of your body this way, so we use the word drunk. the adjective Tipsy to describe this feeling maybe you're not so steady on your feet that you could tip over ah at any moment that's called being drunk on alcohol okay so in a sentence let's see I'm a little drunk I need some water to be drunk , the next expression is to be drunk, so we talked about the word drunk, so Tipsy is a little unstable, but drunk is a mess, you're a mess, I mean, you're being loud. you're being loud, it's hard to control your body or your friend's body, whatever, being that drunk is usually seen as a negative thing, um, so yeah, really drunk, uh expresses, yeah, it's just not pretty sometimes , so in a sentence, your friend is drunk, let's take him home to call it a night the next expression is to call it a night to call it a night means to decide to end up at the bar to go home uh you're ready to call it a night so uh here I'm going to call it I'm I'm going to say this is tonight this night is over so in a sentence it's been a long night I'm going to finish the night I mean, I'm going to go home I'm done is a casual expression hangover and then one more you can use maybe the day after visiting a bar is Hangover so hangover is a noun hangover is the word we use to describe the sensations after drinking too much so maybe you feel sick to your stomach you have a headache your body hurts there is a series of different feelings you can have when you're hungover having a hangover is another way of saying it, but when you're hungover it usually doesn't feel very good in a sentence I'm hungover today I'm not going to drink tonight in the top 25 English phrases so Let's start the first phrase is hello hello of course it is used as a greeting you can greet your friends you can greet your coworkers your family with this phrase just by saying hello hello hello what's up hello What's up?

At virtually any time of the day, you can use Hello, Hello. The next phrase is Good morning. Good morning. It is used as a greeting in the morning. You can feel when the morning ends for you. Good morning is kind and polite or even just good morning. with your close friends or close co-workers the next phrase is good night, good night, okay, we don't use this to greet other people, we use it when we say goodbye to other people in the evening, family members, particularly mothers and parents, say goodnight to your kids before you put them to bed, you can say it to your friend in a text message or in an email if you have been talking for a while goodnight, so the next word to speak is goodbye, use it. when you say goodbye to your friends when you leave your friends goodbye of course take care have a nice day peace that's another way to say goodbye okay the next sentence is I'm more your name of course this is a way to introduce yourself.

You can use I am in my case Alicia I am Alicia to introduce yourself in any situation new friend I am Alicia okay the next sentence is what is your name? what is your name? used to ask another person what their name is and what your name is sounds a little bit try to use what's your name if you forget someone's name you can say I'm sorry, what's your name or I'm sorry, what's your name again next sentence it's nice to meet you, nice to meet you every time you meet someone new, nice to meet you okay, it was nice to meet you it's a little more informal great to meet you sounds very excited nice to meet you sounds like uh maybe a formal situation or a business context is fine, the next sentence is how are you? how are you, isn't it just a friendly way to communicate with the other person you can use it with friends your family your coworkers maybe even your boss to some extent uh how are you? how are you? the next sentence is I'm fine, thank you and you, uh, if I saw English in three

minutes

we talked a lot about this phrase instead of I'm fine thank you and you say I'm fine thank you how are you just shorten it make it a little more natural how are you fine how are you great How are you not so good?

How are you? Good, etc. So when someone says How are you? I usually say I'm good this week, blah blah blah, I give information about what you've been doing, maybe a hobby, something you recently did an event, something interesting, you saw what people want to make that connection with you and it's a good opportunity for you to continue talking. The next word is please, as a polite phrase used when you want something from another person.

I like to use no, it's very, very casual, that won't happen. My parents would use that on me to soften it a little if you want to show a negative response. something like let's have dinner tonight what do you want to do do you want to go out? no really no I don't think so to soften it the next word okay okay this word comes from the editors okay when they had to check a manuscript they had to label the manuscript as all clear AC but since they were proofreaders and they have a very sense of humor, very sick they thought they would mark it well so that everything of course made a joke because o and K don't start everything and of course, but anyway it became popular with everyone in the world, okay, it's used to agree with someone else, well, It can actually be used to express something positive or a little negative.

I'm going to talk about blah, blah, blah, okay, the next phrase is excuse me, excuse me, it is used to get someone's attention in English when you don't know the other person, for example, in a store or a supermarket, maybe a stranger on the street, needs ask directions you can use Excuse me you can use Excuse me in the supermarket excuse me can you tell me where the hot sauce is if you have done something rude in public you can use Excuse me I personally never do rude things in public Sorry is the next word we are going to talk about.

Can I use the bathroom? as a polite and gentle expression that you can use if you need to use the bathroom, you need to use the bathroom whenever you want. you are in someone's house for the first time when you are in a new place for you you can askI can use the bathroom more casually I can go to the bathroom to be very polite you can say can I'm going to the bathroom, the next sentence is I would like to ask for something. You can probably use this in a restaurant or any situation where you need to place an order.

I would like a pizza. I would like a beer. Can I get the? check please, this will be used in a restaurant when you have finished your meal and it is time to leave. Can I get the check please? In a very, very informal situation, you can simply say check, please, okay, the next sentence is see you soon, see you. soon is used with friends and family maybe when you hope to see them again shortly after saying goodbye to them this is used at the end of the conversation you go in separate directions see you soon see you soon that's also good or just see each other Make it a little more formal, you can say I'll see you again soon, make a complete sentence like that, the next phrase is see you later, see you later, it's very similar to see you soon, but the point is see you later. is that you will probably meet that person again later that day the last phrase is really really is a very useful word because you can use it to show that you were interested in a conversation with rising intonation really really tell me more or to show that you are not so interested in conversation with falling intonation, so there are many other words that you can use in a similar way to really this way, like seriously or oh oh, etc., so it's a very good practice for your intonation.

Ways to say hello, this should be fun, let's start first. This one is a little informal in case you don't know. Used for close friends, maybe family members, if you have a silly relationship with them, briefly. easy to do in one sentence, how are you doing? Hi, hi, traditionally associated with cowboy culture. I guess you should play the banjo maybe or you just rode a horse. I don't know, I use hello from time to time, hello, hello. that was my banjo, yes in a sentence you could say Hello friends, welcome to the barbecue playing next, it's hey hey, it's a good friendly phrase that you can usually use hay with. say hello and smile, look happy if You don't, people might think you're depressed, people might think you're not in a very good mood in one sentence, hey, I heard you got engaged last week, congratulations, something like that.

It's usually some kind of happy happy expression, okay, next is what's up, uh, what's up is the long form of sup, this doesn't literally mean what's above you right now, if you want to be funny you can say the ceiling or the sky, but that's it. the joke gets old very quickly and chances are the person you're talking to has heard it before it just means what are you doing what's going on with you in one sentence what's up? did you have a good weekend? The typical response to Whatsapp is not much discover a few more answers in English in three

minutes

read an episode about this nothing much what about you that's pretty good pretty good pretty good pretty good I don't know what I'm doing uh the next one is a lot time without seeing each other you can use this when you haven't seen the other person for a long time you are at a party you are at an event or whatever at any time it has been a long break you can decide how long it is not the day before or the week before maybe a few weeks or a month whatever is unusual for you and this other person when you see them you can say hello, it's been a long time, I don't see, how have you been? 10 words to talk about beauty and skincare, so let's start right. the first word is makeup makeup is all makeup everything we are going to talk about almost everything we are going to talk about later is makeup makeup is usually worn by women but maybe men also wear makeup makeup is usually put on the face to change the appearance of the face in some way, so in a sentence I wear makeup almost every day or I wear makeup almost every day, wear and wear are okay, the next word is eyeshadow, so shadow Eyeshadow is makeup that goes on top of the eye, so the eyelid, this part is called the eyelid, the eyeshadow goes here on top of the eyelid, so in a sentence, what kind of eyeshadow do you use?

The next word is eyeliner, eyeliner, so eyeliner is used to draw a line to draw lines near the eyes. that means it's safe to use it near your eyes, it depends on the person on your style, but maybe use eyeliner to make lines in different ways on your face or near your eyes in a sentence, eyeliner is really hard to put on, okay? The next word is lipstick lipstick there is also lip gloss. Lipstick is something traditional, like a single color, you apply it only on your lips and it gives you, I don't know, sometimes not bright, sometimes very neutral, I don't know, it depends on the lip gloss of the lipstick it gives to Lips like this have a very shiny, almost liquid appearance, so lipstick and lip gloss have different effects in one sentence, you have a lot of lipstick, the next expression is foundation.

Foundation is the makeup product that is usually applied to the facial skin, so it is used to make the face look like a single color foundation, maybe people apply it with I don't know, like a sponge or with their hands or with a brush, they forgot what it's called, it's like a sponge, I don't know. So what I know is that it's something I believe. Don't know. Don't know. I'm the wrong person. Don't know. It is a beauty mixer. One thing. I'm not very good at beauty things either. Anyway, I don't know. Foundation is meant to make your skin color look even, that's why it's called foundation because it's like the foundation, the base for the rest of your makeup, so foundation is the type of foundation, so once that your skin color is correct and the Same, then the other parts we can fix the other parts, that's my theory anyway, in one sentence there are a few different types of foundation.

Okay, the next expression is blush. Blush is usually applied on the cheeks and is like a pink or red color that it gives. the appearance of blushing, so when we feel embarrassed or perhaps we feel excited, our cheeks can turn red, so blush is makeup that creates that blushing effect, this is usually a pink or red color to simulate that It looks like you're blushing even if you're not actually in a sentence, do you wear blush? the next expression is bronzer, bronzer, so we talked about blush, which is supposed to give your skin the appearance of being pink or blush bronzer gives your skin the appearance of being tanner or more tanned.

You can apply this maybe in the summer and it makes your skin look a little more tanned, which you might like. Other people may also use bronzer to create shadows because it darkens the skin a little in the places where it is applied, so there are some. different ways to use tanner in one sentence tanner is nice in summer the next word is face wash face wash so this is a special soap that is for your face specifically for the face maybe your face is very sensitive or you have some trouble spots or not I don't know there is a specific wash that you use for your face just in one sentence, a good face wash is important for clear skin.

Oh, the next word, oh, the dreaded one. I have a couple of words here that maybe are problems that we all deal with first. The type of problem word on this list is acne. Acne is an uncountable noun. Acne generally refers to this problem. It happens to teenagers or people of that age, but adults can also have acne. Acne is like blemishes on the skin, sometimes it itches. or they are painful red bumps on the skin or maybe they are not painful but they are just spots or several different ways that acne can be a problem which we will also talk about in the next word, but acne is an uncountable noun it simply refers to that problem skin problem in general acne bad acne in a sentence I had acne when I was a teenager, so the next word today there are two words here, blackhead and pimple, both are words that we use to refer to the individual parts of acne acne We can say that I have bad acne or maybe my acne is getting better today, but acne has made me the whole condition of your face like everything that the situation of your faces every part every one of those little trouble spots that we call that a pimple or a pimple the difference pimple sounds a little smaller usually a pimple sounds a little bigger and maybe more painful, but either way pimples and pimples are words we can use to describe acne, so in one sentence I hate having pimples 10 words you can use to talk about hygiene or cleanliness so let's wash your hands the first expression is wash your hands wash your hands is with soap and water somewhere in the bathroom so wash your hands before cooking or wash your hands after using the bathroom for example in a sentence wash your hands after using the bathroom to shower the next expression is shower to shower or shower or maybe you prefer to shower so showering is usually standing up although you can do it sitting Depending on the country in which you are Long live, I guess taking a shower means yes, the water continually hits you to bathe.

You sit in the bathtub, you sit down and you are surrounded by water. It's a bathroom. I bought one sitting surrounded. for water in your house on purpose it's a bath if it's not on purpose you should probably call a plumber not a bat that's an emergency shower every day or I love taking a bath every now and then to brush your teeth next time the expression is to brush your teeth to brush your teeth, so with a toothbrush usually in the morning maybe in the evening you also brush your teeth, clean your teeth uh in a sentence, make sure you brush your teeth in the morning to comb your hair uh the next expression is to comb your hair to comb your hair means to arrange or arrange your hair as you like so today I combed my hair like this you combed your hair like this eyes tomorrow maybe I combed my hair in a ponytail way Probably don't do it, but maybe you can put your hair on, you can put your hair in a mohawk or a faux hawk or a bouffant Buffon, that's that Focus uh yeah, it's focusing, yeah, that's a blue font, okay, so comb your hair in one sentence it takes a lot of time to comb my hair that's true my hair is naturally explosive and that's why I have to straighten it first like everything else and then as soon as the humidity reaches it it leaves it makes that sound also to shave the hair next expression is to shave to shave is to remove hair as if you were a man here, generally, you remove hair here with a razor with another like a blade of some kind or maybe you remove body hair or leg hair, whatever you use. verb shave shave with a razor in a sentence shave is a pain or safe meaning shave is a problematic soap or cleanser the next word is soap or cleanser, so soap is only used to clean the skin or yes, to clean your face Maybe to clean your hands, we don't use soap for what you use to clean your teeth, soap is used as a body cleanser or maybe, um, what you use to wash your clothes, so soap or body cleanser in one sentence, I like nice smelling soaps and cleansers, ie. right, who doesn't use deodorant, mmm, the next word is deodorant, deodorant, so deodorant is the product that you can put on your body to avoid unpleasant odors, generally, it goes in this region, that's why it's called armpit, this region, arm and then armpit, as well as, yes.

A kind of cavity area on the arm we call the armpit, but it's common to apply deodorant here. You can put it on other areas of the body, but the goal is to prevent bad odors or in some cases just stop sweating completely, so this is good deodorant, actually deodorant, if I'm going to be strict here, deodorant is Use to stop unpleasant odors. antiperspirant is used to prevent sweating, so perspirant comes from perspiring, so perspire means sweat, anti means no or stop, so an antiperspirant is a product. so that you stop sweating then deodorant is the smell an antiperspirant is that of sweat sometimes you can buy a deodorant and an antiperspirant together great in a sentence using deodorant is important especially in summer mouthwashes the next word is mouthwash mouthwash I hope easy to understand washing it is something to clean the inside of your mouth, so you can use it in the morning, maybe after brushing your teeth or after lunch, maybe to keep your breath smelling fresh, but usually it's blue or green or maybe.

It's orange in color and has a mint or citrus flavor, but you put it in your mouth and you're like, I don't know, I can't do anything. You could swish it around in your mouth and then spit it out and that's it. mouthwash so you have washed your mouth with this product in one sentence I like mouthwash with mint, the next word is toothpaste, so toothpaste we don't say like tooth soap or tooth cleaner or whatever,different types of objects that can move in space in a sentence, many meteorites burn up before passing through the atmosphere meteorite, the next word is meteorite, meteorite, so this is an important distinction that many people don't know, in Actually this also drives me crazy, so a meteor is the space rockets in space or is in the atmosphere, a meteorite, however, is the rock, if the meteorite makes it, if the meteorite can. passes through the Earth's atmosphere and falls to the Earth's surface, that rock is then called a meteorite, so in space in the atmosphere it is a meteorite when it falls to the Earth it is a meteorite that becomes meteorite when it hits the Earth, such fun facts.

Well that's the difference between the two in one sentence, have you ever seen a meteorite? supernova supernova supernova so the explosion of a star is a huge event a supernova is its name so the star explodes and that's what we call it it's called a supernova a star explosion in a sentence supernovae must be amazing things black hole ah, okay, the next expression is black hole black hole black holes are the subject of many studies, they have an intense gravitational attraction, which means they have a very strong gravity. other objects within them, it is said that, as if time stops in a black hole, or if you get too close to a black hole, if you get too close to the event horizon of a black hole, you yourself will be pulled into that hole.

It's also pretty crazy, so the Event Horizon is the point where there's no turning back, like you can't, you can't essentially escape the gravitational pull of a black hole once you're inside the Event Horizon of that one. space. It's like crazy, you're done with all this kind of stuff, it's so interesting, so in a sentence, black holes are mysterious. Galaxy, okay, okay, so the next word is galaxy, galaxy, before we talk about the expression solar system, so the solar system is kind. of our region of space, uh, the region that we're familiar with, but the next step, so if you think a little bit about the solar system as your neighborhood, you could think of maybe the Galaxy as your city or your country, maybe Maybe it's a kind of next step, so a galaxy is made up of many, many stars, maybe other planets, another solar system, many other solar systems in a galaxy, so I think yes, we belong to the Milky Way.

I believe in a phrase, our galaxy. it is made of many different stars and planets Earth the next expression is Earth Earth is our planet Earth is the planet we live on Earth is yes habitable, which means that humans can live here this word I included it in this list of vocabulary because it is a very good word to practice your pronunciation is the word Earth Earth that R and the th sound can be difficult to pronounce together ER F Earth so this is a great word to practice your pronunciation Earth so in a sentence our planet is call Earth ten words to talk about sleeping let's wake up the first word is wake up wake up is open your eyes probably in your bed or in the place where you are sleeping wake up is uh become aware of being awake every day wake up uh presumably hopefully in a sentence I woke up three times last night to get up to get out of bed, okay, the next word is get up or get out of bed, that means physically moving your body from the bed to out of the bed get out of bed get out of bed we say get up or get out of bed in a sentence i got up at eight this morning to sleep the next word is sleep so we have to snooze an alarm and also snooze so snooze means get some sleep have a short time to sleep or snooze an alarm is when the alarm goes off in the morning, it has a button, most alarm clocks have some button that you can press for the alarm will go on again in five or ten minutes or something like that, so snoozing an alarm is asking the alarm to wake you up again a few minutes later, that's snooze, so we have to snooze an alarm and snooze. which means like a short light sleep in a sentence I always snooze my alarm at least once, that's usually true, oversleep, the next word is oversleep, oversleep, means oversleeping or sleeping in, not really, It doesn't mean sleeping.

Sleeping late simply means sleeping late in the day Sleeping too much means sleeping past the time you wanted to get up, for example, if my alarm is set for eight o'clock but I wake up at nine, I overslept. I slept past my waking time, so we can use oversleeping to talk about times when you sleep too much, you sleep more than your body needs, so maybe your body needs, depending on the person, between six and nine hours or so, but if you sleep about 14 hours, we can say that sleep is over, you are sleeping too much, that is the nuance. here in a sentence i fell asleep on my first day of work nap the next word is nap nap is a short sleep so a nap is maybe 30 minutes an hour just a short sleep a short break so a lot of people will take a nap in the afternoon, for example, or maybe children really take naps, for example in preschool, or when they are very young, they take a nap in the afternoon, they sleep little, so yes, about an hour.

I imagine in a sentence that I love naps, I actually like naps. I don't like naps because when I nap I fall asleep, it's always like I wake up four hours later and say, "Okay, well, I've destroyed my sleep schedule." Visions those images you see those maybe experiences you seem to have when you are asleep in a sentence I always have strange dreams nightmare so the next word is nightmare nightmare is a word that means bad dream or scary dream negative dream so children maybe have nightmares often wake up crying or are really upset by nightmares, monsters, scary things happening, etc. in a sentence, do you ever have nightmares going to bed?

The next word is go to bed so before we talk about getting up or getting out of bed this is the opposite go to bed means get into your bed uh try to go to sleep go to bed in a sentence I usually go to bed quite a bit late to go to sleep go to bed The next expression is kind of a slang expression, I don't know, uh, we have to go to sleep and go to bed, they both mean go to bed, they both want to try to fall asleep, but we just use them more informally. situations, the image here of hitting the hay is with your body hitting the hay as if you were lying in the hay.

I think historically because hay was used to stuff things that people slept on, that's why we have this expression to hit the hay with the same body. thing to go to the sack then a sack full of something soft to sleep in is where this expression comes from in a sentence I think I'm going to sleep to stay asleep the next expression is to fall asleep to stay asleep you' You're in bed and you finally lose Consciousness, you stop being conscious, you are asleep, at that moment we say you fall asleep in a sentence, it takes me a long time to fall asleep.

I would love to go to the movies with you, but I have a lot of work to do. I like you a lot, but I don't want to date you and it is a very common word that you will hear all the time. It is a way to add a new topic or thing to your sentence. I love sweets and pizza. I'm hungry and tired, friend. I moved to Spain and I moved to Canada. I love playing outside and I love being inside and it's a way to add a new topic or thing to what you're talking about, so I have a toothache so I went to the dentist. one way to add an example another way to say because of this I did this you say something and then you add that and then what follows is the effect so there is the cause then the effect then I was very hungry so I ate some pizza this The video is going to have a pizza theme.

That sounds good or is it a way to present an election. example you can eat pizza or you can eat candy I don't know if I should go to the movies or the mall which color do you like more red or green presents differences in choice today's video is on Words Americans overuse I haven't seen these words yet, but apparently they're going to be a series of words that we as Americans, I'm an American, overuse, overuse too often, so let's start, uh, oh, the first word is definitely, definitely, it's definitely a word that Americans use it excessively, we use it to put emphasis on the end of a sentence, with what emphasis the end of a sentence, as in oh, that party last week was great, yes, definitely, or to agree with someone like that, uh , oh god, literally, oh, just in the last few days I've seen the word literally so many times on the internet and used it in such stupid ways.

The word literally uh means really or truly something. This is literally the best burger I have ever eaten. So it literally means truly or would really mean. that in that person's entire life that is the best hamburger they have ever eaten, however, it is misused a lot in sentences, like George Bush was literally supporting the war in Iraq or something, taking a phrase like that literally would have What does that mean? you know, the president who would be the former president, you know, physically supporting a war with his body forward, forward, hilarious, hilarious is the next word.

I like to use the word hilarious when something is really funny, um, hilarious, of course, means something that is really funny, super funny. it's one step above funny maybe two steps three steps I don't know, however people like to use this word instead of laughter so for example friends are talking and instead of just laughing, the friend will say it's really funny, well if it's that funny, just laugh, oh this must be the last one because it's the worst, this word is like um, I've probably already said it several times today for the purposes of this video , um, the word like is used as a filler word, so it's the same as something like um or uh or hmm, for example, we use like um as a filler word when we're trying to think of something.

It is not uncommon to hear the word repeated like three, four, five times in a row when someone is thinking. They'll say oh you know that party I went to like uh like uh like uh do you know who was there? Sometimes it just invades your speech when you're trying to think about something and no other filler words come out except the The word light ah, this wasn't the last word, there's another one, seriously, it's used seriously, oh, it's good for Any time you get bad news, well, not from your boss, that's a very casual word, but if you hear something, like your friend. they lost their job and you can sympathize with them or maybe empathize with them by saying seriously oh that's a shame or oh tell me like all your problems oh my god I just use like oh god I hate myself I want to speed up your language learning. his firstlesson with us you will start speaking in minutes and master real conversations sign up for your free lifetime account just click the link in the description
