00:01:08.240 lingua marina it is nice to meet you 30 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.360 or 31 00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:11.760 is it nice to see you this is the phrase 32 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.080 that we tend to overuse so in this video 33 00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.000 we're going to talk about other ways you 34 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.319 can say nice to see you or nice to meet 35 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.438 you but before we go into the other 36 00:01:21.438 --> 00:01:24.240 phrases let me explain something to you 37 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.400 when you say nice to meet you in english 38 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.959 that means that you see someone for the 39 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.119 first time and this is actually when you 40 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:33.119 introduce yourself to them when you 41 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:35.280 learn about their name and who they are 42 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:36.959 i know that in some languages when you 43 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.078 say meet someone you actually mean that 44 00:01:40.078 --> 00:01:42.560 you were hanging out with them 45 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.200 in english you need to say meet for 46 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.680 dinner or meet for lunch do you want to 47 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.439 meet for lunch in case you want to say 48 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.640 that you want to hang out with this 49 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.360 person because if you say i want to meet 50 00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:54.960 you 51 00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:57.759 this would mean that you would like to 52 00:01:57.759 --> 00:01:59.759 meet that person for the first time so 53 00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:02.079 be really careful i would like to meet 54 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.159 you there i would like to meet you for 55 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.759 lunch i would like to meet you for 56 00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:08.239 dinner for coffee that implies that you 57 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:10.560 know a person and you want to hang out 58 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.959 when you meet someone you learn their 59 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:14.879 name you're like oh great and this is 60 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.040 basically the only circumstance when you 61 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:19.440 say it's nice to meet you because you 62 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:20.800 met them for the first time nice to meet 63 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.360 you now another mistake that people make 64 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.520 because they confuse this word meat is 65 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.000 when they hang out with someone for many 66 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.519 many times and then they spend another 67 00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:33.760 dinner together and in the end they say 68 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:36.160 it was nice to meet you that's again 69 00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:37.840 might sound really weird because you 70 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.080 only say it's nice to meet you when you 71 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.800 first met that person but you can say it 72 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.040 was nice to see you so it was nice to 73 00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:46.720 see you it was nice to see you too which 74 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:48.959 totally makes sense in this situation 75 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:50.560 but these two phrases 76 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.919 are very very very basic and because on 77 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.560 this channel i like to dig deeper into 78 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.959 language i like to explore where we can 79 00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:01.120 go with different phrases we're going to 80 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.959 talk about ways to replace those two 81 00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:04.480 because this video is about meeting 82 00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:06.480 people for the first time 83 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:09.519 your task is to comment down below which 84 00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:12.400 city are you watching from 85 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.159 now start commenting 86 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.560 and let's start learning now let's start 87 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.800 with a phrase either great to meet you 88 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.680 or glad to meet you hi i'm anna i think 89 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.000 we're in the same creative writing class 90 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.879 oh yeah hi i'm marina great to meet you 91 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.639 great to meet you too if you want to 92 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.239 sound more british 93 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:32.639 use word lovely i think british people 94 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.120 just love this word i remember my 95 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.280 british friends would always say lovely 96 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.080 cup of tea what a lovely trip it's just 97 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.920 this word that is widely used by the 98 00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:44.879 british people so british people like to 99 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.159 say it was lovely to meet you or lovely 100 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.360 meeting you 101 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.519 well it was lovely to meet you it was 102 00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:53.680 lovely meeting you in person 103 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.280 basically what you can do with this 104 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.080 phrase is put any adjective that you 105 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.840 like good to meet you lovely to meet you 106 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.480 wonderful to meet you nice to meet you 107 00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:06.560 and this way you make up as many phrases 108 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.720 as you want if you want to sound formal 109 00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:10.959 you can say pleasure meeting you it was 110 00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:12.879 a pleasure to meet you whenever i say 111 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.640 this phrase i

a lot for kids or 182 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.440 for dogs i 183 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:46.800 i'm thinking of like different 184 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.000 situations and the more i think the more 185 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.720 situations involving kids come to me 186 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.800 when i talk about this when i think 187 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.120 about this phrase the phrase is look 188 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.479 who's here 189 00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:00.319 so i would tell this to emily my 190 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.319 daughter or i would tell it to a very 191 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.880 very close friend now i don't think you 192 00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:06.720 would really walk into a business 193 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.120 meeting and see your colleague and be 194 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.280 like oh look who's here because it's a 195 00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:12.639 bit informal 196 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.880 i would say mostly for kids and animals 197 00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:17.759 and very very close friends look who is 198 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.720 here 199 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.039 i haven't seen you for ages is another 200 00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:23.440 phrase and by the way these phrases are 201 00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:26.160 great conversation openers so whenever 202 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.360 you're greeted by a person who says uh 203 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.120 it's good to see you and you're like oh 204 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.800 yeah it's been a while this is like the 205 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.560 way you respond 206 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.880 to the phrase it's great to see you or 207 00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:38.880 it's the way that you start this 208 00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:41.199 conversation about how happy you are to 209 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.960 see them so this phrase would normally 210 00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:44.319 come second or third in your 211 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.919 conversation oh hey lucy how are you 212 00:07:47.919 --> 00:07:50.800 it's been a while yay how are you doing 213 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.599 haven't seen you for ages something like 214 00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:55.199 that you know 215 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.759 just again letting the other person know 216 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.000 how happy you are to see them okay i'm 217 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.919 gonna wrap up with a really weird phrase 218 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:04.080 i haven't really seen it a lot but it 219 00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:06.720 definitely exists and i just want you to 220 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.599 know 221 00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:09.440 all the weird phrases as well just 222 00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:11.039 because sometimes you hear them in a 223 00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:13.360 movie and you're like what the heck just 224 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.479 happened 225 00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:16.879 i've never learned that phrase so here 226 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.479 you go look what the cat dragged in now 227 00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:22.000 let's look about where this phrase is 228 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.160 coming from what do the cats drag into 229 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.879 the house dead mice dead birds dead 230 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.919 animals 231 00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:30.960 so be very careful with this phrase 232 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:33.039 be very careful when you use it only 233 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:34.640 with close friends 234 00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.320 i wouldn't really use it i would just 235 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.240 remember it know that it's there so 236 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.800 whenever somebody says it you know that 237 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:43.919 they're actually happy about seeing you 238 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.160 but basically the phrase is used look 239 00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:48.720 what the cat dragged in good to see you 240 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.040 too so basically it implies that 241 00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:53.279 somebody came to the room unexpectedly 242 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.399 and you are highlighting this fact well 243 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.399 look what the cat dragged in in this 244 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.880 video we're gonna talk about 245 00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.958 the phrase you're welcome this phrase is 246 00:09:02.958 --> 00:09:04.559 perfectly fine and people will 247 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:06.640 understand what you mean but if you want 248 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:08.559 to sound more like a native speaker if 249 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.839 you want to 250 00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:12.240 make your speech more diversified 251 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.880 avoid saying you're welcome and use the 252 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:16.800 phrases that i'm gonna give you in this 253 00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:19.440 video if you're interested continue 254 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.120 watching the way you act with your 255 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.279 friends is different from the way you 256 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.080 act in a professional setting so when 257 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.240 you're at work instead of saying you're 258 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.120 welcome you can say these phrases so 259 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.839 we're going to talk about professional 260 00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:38.559 phrases alternatives to your welcome 261 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.360 first i am happy to be of assistance for 262 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.839 example if your boss assigned a task for 263 00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:44.720 you 264 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.600 and 265 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.360 he says thank you for 266 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.440 agreeing to perform it you say i am 267 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.839 happy to be of assistance we're happy to 268 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:54.958 be of assistance imagine a colleague ask 269 00:09:54.958 --> 00:09:57.440 you to help them out with a project 270 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.958 and they say thank you and instead of 271 00:09:58.958 --> 00:10:01.200 saying you're welcome you say that's 272 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.440 what good colleagues do another phrase 273 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.040 i'm here to help 274 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:08.720 you can again use this phrase when you 275 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.880 talk to your boss or to your colleague 276 00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:13.600 or if you have a happy customer who's 277 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.920 like oh thank you so much for helping me 278 00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:18.399 buy this car like i am here to help this 279 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.600 is what i'm here for i'm here to 280 00:10:21.600 -->

00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:31.279 actually any situation but 285 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.440 this is where you try to show a person 286 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.000 that you actually enjoyed helping them 287 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.559 pleasure honor to have helped 288 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.958 this phrase is used in a situation where 289 00:10:40.958 --> 00:10:43.360 somebody asks you to do something 290 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.120 that you're not required to do for 291 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.360 example your colleague has to go and 292 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.480 pick up their kid from daycare and they 293 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.240 ask you to 294 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.320 take their code for them and maybe you 295 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.679 really wanted to work with that 296 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.000 colleague or maybe you wanted to help 297 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.160 them a lot so instead of saying you're 298 00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:02.559 welcome you actually emphasize that this 299 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.399 is something you really wanted to do and 300 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.800 you're glad that this opportunity came 301 00:11:06.800 -->

00:11:15.279 future this again shows that you're 305 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.200 willing to go an extra step so you're 306 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.958 not just happy that you perform this 307 00:11:18.958 --> 00:11:20.078 task 308 00:11:20.078 --> 00:11:22.000 you will be happy in the future if you 309 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.440 would have an opportunity to help this 310 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.720 person again 311 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.559 and the last but not the least i'm 312 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.720 running out of space i'm gonna remove 313 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.600 this 314 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.360 number seven will be 315 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.440 you would have done the same 316 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.640 in 317 00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:36.559 my 318 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:37.839 shoes 319 00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:40.240 in my shoes is an idiom it's an 320 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.120 expression that means that if somebody 321 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.679 else was in your situation in your shoes 322 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.640 this is just a nice way to let a person 323 00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:51.120 know that you've done them a favor and 324 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.120 that you think they would do the same 325 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.600 for you okay now let's go 326 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.160 back to this informal environment when 327 00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:01.839 you're with your friends and 328 00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.078 they thank you for something and the way 329 00:12:04.078 --> 00:12:06.240 you can reply is 330 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.120 anytime this is super informal 331 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.760 but again shows that you're willing to 332 00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:14.559 help them whenever they want anytime 333 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.679 anytime no need at all this is again a 334 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.800 replacement for your welcome means that 335 00:12:20.800 -->

thank you how do 414 00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:30.079 you reply i hope you enjoy it like for 415 00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:31.759 example if you gave 416 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.759 i don't know maybe like a ticket to a 417 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.560 theater or a ticket to a movie theater 418 00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:39.600 or maybe like an outfit 419 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.440 and look i hope you enjoy it i am glad 420 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.279 you liked it of course you use this 421 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.600 phrase when somebody actually tells you 422 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.959 that 423 00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:48.720 they like something oh my god those 424 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.720 earrings are great thank you so much for 425 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.360 giving them uh to me i'm glad you like 426 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.040 them glad you liked it 427 00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.360 you deserve it 428 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.959 this is probably i would use it when a 429 00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:03.199 gift is kind of expensive 430 00:16:03.199 --> 00:16:06.399 like you gave uh someone a new laptop 431 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.480 and they're like oh you shouldn't have 432 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.920 remember we learned this instead of 433 00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:11.279 saying thank you you can say oh you 434 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.040 shouldn't have you're like no no you 435 00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:16.160 deserve it you deserve it and um again 436 00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:18.560 in america you don't really give 437 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:20.959 expensive gifts to your friends because 438 00:16:20.959 --> 00:16:23.040 that means that they owe you something 439 00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:24.480 you know what i mean like if you give 440 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.160 something somebody a thousand dollar 441 00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:27.600 whatever gift 442 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.279 they might feel obliged to give you 443 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.120 something in return and they don't 444 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.360 they're not in the capacity to spend one 445 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.680 thousand dollars in a gift so in the u.s 446 00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:37.680 when you go to a birthday party it is 447 00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:39.839 very common that nobody brings any gifts 448 00:16:39.839 --> 00:16:41.360 or maybe they just bring flowers or 449 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.560 balloons 450 00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.720 and this is a cultural thing at first i 451 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.519 thought wow how lazy they are to not 452 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.440 give gifts somebody for their birthday 453 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.680 but then i realized it is just to not 454 00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:54.399 make other people uncomfortable because 455 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.920 if somebody comes to your birthday party 456 00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:57.279 and brings you like a thousand dollar 457 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.519 gift then you think oh my god when they 458 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.440 invite me to their birthday party i am 459 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.199 kind of obliged to buy something for a 460 00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:04.400 thousand bucks 461 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.199 so 462 00:17:05.199 --> 00:17:07.359 when you think you want to give someone 463 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.520 like a very expensive gift it probably 464 00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:11.679 should be someone from your family 465 00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:14.240 someone who wouldn't feel like oh my god 466 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.799 now i owe them something so i would like 467 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.359 if i were to give somebody a laptop i 468 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.359 would either give it to one of my best 469 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.280 performing i don't know 470 00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:26.000 teammates or if i'm a manager so they 471 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.520 don't feel that they have to give 472 00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:30.160 something to me or my close family or 473 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.679 somebody who like really really helped 474 00:17:31.679 --> 00:17:34.799 me and then if they're like oh no no no 475 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.320 be able to accept this gift i'll be like 476 00:17:36.320 --> 00:17:38.240 no no you deserve it but again remember 477 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:40.559 it can be a bit 478 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.400 too much when you give expensive gifts 479 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.960 to your friends in the u.s it made me 480 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.320 think of you you know sometimes we 481 00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:49.520 give 482 00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:50.960 gifts 483 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.520 just because we want 484 00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:55.760 and like sometimes i would come to my 485 00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:57.600 friend and i will give them something i 486 00:17:57.600 --> 00:17:58.720 don't know 487 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.440 something small like a 488 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.280 photo frame and they'll be like oh you 489 00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:04.880 shouldn't have or thank you so much and 490 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.559 i'd be like it made me think of you i 491 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.119 was just walking in the store and i saw 492 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:10.640 this and made me think of you and i

still use it for christmas 496 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.520 or birthday but 497 00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:21.200 i'm just thinking you know when you 498 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.200 thought of someone accidentally and you 499 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.119 just decide to give them a gift this is 500 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.240 beautiful okay last but not the least 501 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.720 we're gonna talk about funny ways to say 502 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.760 you're welcome funny 503 00:18:33.760 --> 00:18:35.119 ways 504 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.880 you'll get my bill in the morning you 505 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.960 know how it works in the u.s 506 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.280 when you work with someone like you're a 507 00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:43.760 cpa you jump on a call you have fun 508 00:18:43.760 --> 00:18:45.840 where you invite them for a coffee or 509 00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:48.000 with your lawyer and then at the end of 510 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.840 the month you get a bill and they build 511 00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:51.440 you for that hour this is the way it 512 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.359 works with service industry in the u.s 513 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.559 you get a bill later so for example 514 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.240 my friend came over helped me with 515 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.160 cleaning my apartment and be like thank 516

they wouldn't 519 00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:08.080 send me a bill but this is because the 520 00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:10.000 service industry work in this way that 521 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.919 people help you first and then they send 522 00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:13.520 you a bill and you thought they were 523 00:19:13.520 --> 00:19:15.039 helping you for free and you're like 524 00:19:15.039 -->

friend is thanking you and you just you 528 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.960 don't feel that they have to thank you 529 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.000 because 530 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.160 you would just do it anyway so i'll stop 531 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.480 it don't make a fuss about it 532 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.520 it's okay 533 00:19:33.520 --> 00:19:34.880 nothing 534 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.160 and the last 535 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.760 but not the least 536 00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:40.960 i'll count on your vote in the next 537 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.240 election 538

--> 00:30:20.000 speech diversify so i'm just hoping 823 00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.399 you're writing things down 824 00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:25.520 very difficult you can say challenging 825 00:30:25.520 --> 00:30:28.159 learning english is very difficult 826 00:30:28.159 --> 00:30:30.159 learning english is challenging and i 827 00:30:30.159 --> 00:30:32.080 like the word challenging because with 828 00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:33.679 very difficult i think it's like you're 829 00:30:33.679 --> 00:30:35.360 giving up it's very difficult i don't 830 00:30:35.360 --> 00:30:36.880 like it with the word challenging you're 831 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.200 like it's challenging and i like it it's 832 00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.039 another experience another challenge in 833 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.840 my life i'm learning english challenging 834 00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:46.480 or you can also say demanding again like 835 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.360 for example you as a parent you would 836 00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:52.080 might say she's a very difficult child 837 00:30:52.080 --> 00:30:53.039 but 838 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.520 it's not like you're struggling you just 839 00:30:55.520 --> 00:30:57.279 understand that your child is special 840 00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.360 and you can say my child is very 841 00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:01.919 demanding she needs a lot of attention 842 00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:03.760 she's at that age when she wants to be 843 00:31:03.760 --> 00:31:05.600 around mommy and daddy so she's really 844 00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:07.760 demanding of our time she really needs 845 00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:09.360 attention because you won't say very 846 00:31:09.360 --> 00:31:10.720 difficult but people understand that 847 00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:12.640 it's difficult for you but at the same 848 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:14.000 time you're not saying very difficult so 849 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.919 you see it's not just about replacing 850 00:31:15.919 --> 00:31:17.840 the word it's about giving some context 851 00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:21.360 by just using a synonym demanding 852 00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:22.880 very simple 853 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.960 again very simple sounds very basic you 854 00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:26.880 can say straightforward this is a 855 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.320 straightforward task nothing to think of 856 00:31:30.320 --> 00:31:33.039 it's very straightforward or you can use 857 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.039 a piece of cake remember that's an idiom 858 00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:36.320 i

idiom it means you can just eat a lot 926 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.279 doesn't mean you will be eating a horse 927 00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:05.919 ravenous is also something that relates 928 00:34:05.919 --> 00:34:08.320 to being very hungry i was ravenous on 929 00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.719 friday after filming all the videos 930 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:13.119 i know braveness and the last but not 931 00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.520 the least very angry instead of saying 932 00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:17.879 very angry you can say i am 933 00:34:17.879 --> 00:34:22.159 furious oh my god i'm furious about 934 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.560 him not coming to my birthday party i 935 00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:26.320 was expecting him 936 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:27.599 furious 937 00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:29.440 or you can say mad 938 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.440 are you still mad at me because i didn't 939 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:33.919 come to your birthday party today we're 940 00:34:33.919 --> 00:34:36.879 gonna talk about replacing a phrase for 941 00:34:36.879 --> 00:34:39.280 example in your vocabulary because this 942 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:40.960 is another phrase that we use all the 943 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:42.800 time for example for example for example 944 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:44.639 i remember i heard for instance for the 945 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:46.800 first time when i was back at school and 946 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:48.399 i was like well for instance 947 00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:50.320 doesn't sound very natural just because 948 00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.800 i heard it for the first time and then i 949 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.719 just started to realize that people use 950 00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:57.359 it more and more often than i expected 951 00:34:57.359 --> 00:35:00.239 so the first phrase that you can use to 952 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.400 replace for example is for instance 953 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.480 basically has absolutely the same 954 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.599 meaning as for example an example of 955 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.599 using for instance 956 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:12.079 my friend loves to eat chocolate for 957 00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.359 instance he ate two chocolate bars today 958 00:35:15.359 --> 00:35:16.719 for instance 959 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:17.839 eg 960 00:35:17.839 --> 00:35:19.119 exempli 961 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.760 gra gracia gracia gracia gratia whatever 962 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.239 this is latin i don't know latin but 963 00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:29.040 this eg this contraction is used in 964 00:35:29.040 --> 00:35:31.119 written english so whenever 965 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.040 you encounter a text and it says eg 966 00:35:35.040 --> 00:35:36.960 you just read for example or you can 967 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.119 also say eg people just say eg but if 968 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:41.680 you want to be 100 correct or if you 969 00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:44.640 want to sound smoother because eg does 970 00:35:44.640 --> 00:35:46.719 sound a little like i don't know it 971 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.239 sounds like it's written so whenever 972 00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:50.079 you're reading a text you see eg that 973 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.880 means for example such as 974 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.520 this phrase is also used to replace for 975 00:35:55.520 --> 00:35:58.960 example but it has some specific meaning 976 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.079 so basically such as introduces 977 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:05.359 normally introduces a list of things 978 00:36:05.359 --> 00:36:06.960 let me give you an example this summer i 979 00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:08.719 would like to visit some european 980 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:11.760 countries such as france italy and 981 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:12.800 monaco 982 00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:14.800 so if you have 983 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.359 more than one object after such as you 984 00:36:17.359 --> 00:36:19.520 need to separate such as from the rest 985 00:36:19.520 --> 00:36:21.520 of a sentence by a comma so you will 986 00:36:21.520 --> 00:36:23.440 have i want to visit some european 987 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.000 countries this summer comma such as 988 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:28.960 france coma italy coma 989 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.920 and monaco but if you have only one 990 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.040 example 991 00:36:33.040 --> 00:36:34.719 then there is no need to put a comma 992 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:36.880 there i want to visit some european 993 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.359 countries the summer such as france 994 00:36:39.359 --> 00:36:42.320 that's it no comma needed such as class 995 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.040 reunion to give you an idea 996 00:36:45.040 --> 00:36:47.839 we use this phrase to introduce a case 997 00:36:47.839 --> 00:36:49.839 or example you can use this phrase 998 00:36:49.839 --> 00:36:51.599 during a presentation 999 00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.280 because it's kind of 1000 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:55.119 like you're a speaker you're actually 1001 00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:57.680 presenting it just implies that so for 1002 00:36:57.680 --> 00:36:59.359 example you're introducing a topic of 1003 00:36:59.359 --> 00:37:01.280 protecting animals and you say we need 1004 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:03.280 to start protecting wild animals to 1005 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.680 prevent their extinction to give you an 1006 00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:07.280 idea 1007 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:11.520 3 900 tigers and 1860 giant pandas 1008 00:37:11.520 --> 00:37:14.079 remain in the wild so to give you an 1009 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.560 idea is like this presentation 1010 00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:18.560 where you introduce examples of what you 1011 00:37:18.560 --> 00:37:20.560 just said imagine 1012 00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:22.000 is another phrase that is used to 1013 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.239 replace for example so in this case when 1014 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:26.560 you use imagine you want the person to 1015 00:37:26.560 --> 00:37:28.640 feel what you're talking about 1016 00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:30.880 i love working from home 1017 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:33.680 imagine spending morning 1018 00:37:33.680 --> 00:37:36.160 afternoon and evening with your baby 1019 00:37:36.160 --> 00:37:38.480 without having to commute and then 1020 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.960 having those two or three quiet hours in 1021 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:42.880 the office again without having to 1022 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.480 commute of course if you have a home 1023 00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:47.200 office this imagine just makes the 1024 00:37:47.200 --> 00:37:51.440 situation more relatable imagine 1025 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.760 a very similar phrase to imagine in 1026 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.680 terms of what it means is the phrase 1027 00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:56.960 picture this 1028 00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:00.719 americans use it a lot so for example 1029 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:03.119 for instance you need to know how to 1030 00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.280 perform a cpr 1031 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.359 picture this somebody loses 1032 00:38:07.359 --> 00:38:09.440 consciousness and you don't know what to 1033 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:10.400 do 1034 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.599 like this picture this makes a person 1035 00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.440 actually think about the situation when 1036 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.880 somebody faints in front of them and 1037 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.920 they don't know what to do so cpr cpi is 1038 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:21.359 like this heart massage and when you 1039 00:38:21.359 --> 00:38:24.000 help a person breathe we did this course 1040 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.320 i took like a class before having my 1041 00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.880 first kid just a useful skill i would 1042 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.640 suggest you guys watch some videos just 1043 00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:32.800 just in case you know it's it never 1044 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.920 hurts to know that it's not a very 1045 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:37.920 sophisticated technique but it is 1046 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.160 something that can save lives so 1047 00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:42.239 go ahead and watch some cpr classes 1048 00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:44.000 another way to work on your english by 1049 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.960 the way picture this say that 1050 00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.239 say that is also used uh to illustrate a 1051 00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.960 hypothetical situation it is important 1052 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.239 to have a first aid kit in your car 1053 00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:58.880 say that you're away from home something 1054 00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.560 happens and you don't have anything to 1055 00:39:02.560 --> 00:39:05.280 help you in an emergency to name a few 1056 00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.280 this phrase suggests that you have a lot 1057 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.920 of examples uh let me give you an 1058 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:10.960 example 1059 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:14.960 i've traveled a lot by the age of 25. 1060 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:18.640 i went to brazil united states ukraine 1061 00:39:18.640 --> 00:39:22.079 russia italy france azerbaijan 1062 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.280 kazakhstan to name a few so to name a 1063 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.320 few that means you know you have a list 1064 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.239 that would continue longer 1065 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.320 and also one thing to remember to name a 1066 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:34.719 few would normally be at the end of the 1067 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.280 sentence separated by the comma 1068 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.239 to name a few to illustrate or as an 1069 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:42.320 illustration if you watch my toefl 1070 00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:44.480 videos to illustrate 1071 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.960 is a phrase that i used a lot in my 1072 00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:50.480 templates both for writing and speaking 1073 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:52.880 because this is just another way to say 1074 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.920 for example and if you're taking a test 1075 00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.680 it is really important to replace all of 1076 00:39:57.680 --> 00:39:59.280 the words because you get additional 1077 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.680 scores for using different phrases for 1078 00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:03.920 diversified vocabulary so there is a 1079 00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:05.520 speaking task in toefl where you would 1080 00:40:05.520 --> 00:40:06.960 have a text about some particular 1081 00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.040 phenomenon and then you will have a 1082 00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:10.560 professor 1083 00:40:10.560 --> 00:40:11.920 talking about an example of that 1084 00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:14.079 phenomenon like for example i don't know 1085 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.000 they would have like animals who live in 1086 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.319 the arctic and then a professor would 1087 00:40:18.319 --> 00:40:20.960 talk about polar bears and you can say 1088 00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.200 that the article talks about animals who 1089 00:40:23.200 --> 00:40:25.680 live in the arctic and this is the way 1090 00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:28.719 they survive there to illustrate the way 1091 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:30.800 they survive the professor uses the 1092 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.760 example of a polar bear or you can also 1093 00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.800 say as an illustration my sons really 1094 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:40.079 get on well as an illustration they are 1095 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:42.480 five years apart but they always spend 1096 00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.040 time together to show you what i mean 1097 00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:47.520 this is really an informal phrase 1098 00:40:47.520 --> 00:40:48.880 and let me give you an example 1099 00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.400 thumbnails are really important for a 1100 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.400 video to show you what i mean 1101 00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:54.160 here are two thumbnails which one do you 1102 00:40:54.160 --> 00:40:56.319 think performed better consider a 1103 00:40:56.319 --> 00:40:58.960 situation in which again this is a more 1104 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.319 formal phrase and this is where you 1105 00:41:00.319 --> 00:41:02.319 would ask a person to imagine something 1106 00:41:02.319 --> 00:41:04.560 happening it is great to prepare meals 1107 00:41:04.560 --> 00:41:07.040 in advance consider a situation in which 1108 00:41:07.040 --> 00:41:09.200 you get back home late from work and you 1109 00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:11.520 have nothing to eat how good it would be 1110 00:41:11.520 --> 00:41:14.160 to have prepared meals in your fridge 1111 00:41:14.160 --> 00:41:16.719 case in point this phrase replaces for 1112 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.680 example and also helps you prove what 1113 00:41:19.680 --> 00:41:22.239 you mean our technology is really one of 1114 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.040 the best case in point our clients 1115 00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:28.079 attract 5x more customers 1116 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.719 case in point a very similar phrase to 1117 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:33.040 that is as proof 1118 00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:35.760 my diet is really effective as proof i 1119 00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.160 lost five pounds in the past few weeks 1120 00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:39.920 and the last but not the least in 1121 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:42.160 particular is a phrase that helps you 1122 00:41:42.160 --> 00:41:44.800 emphasize something i really like my job 1123 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:46.960 in particular i really like to get 1124 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:48.560 feedback from you guys 1125 00:41:48.560 --> 00:41:50.400

something going somewhere together or 1226 00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:18.960 doing something together you can say 1227 00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.800 sounds like a plan that means you agreed 1228 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.400 on the terms you agreed on the timing 1229 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.040 etc sounds like a plan 1230 00:45:25.040 --> 00:45:28.319 okie dokie or you can say okie doke very 1231 00:45:28.319 --> 00:45:30.640 informal very nice i like it okay do you 1232 00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:32.400 want to meet up for breakfast on sunday 1233 00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:34.480 okey dokey let's do it 1234 00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:36.560 okie dokie the second meaning of the 1235 00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:38.800 word okay is actually giving permission 1236 00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:40.960 if somebody asks you uh can i borrow 1237 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.000 your phone you can say okay but you can 1238 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.400 also say other phrases and words you can 1239 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:47.680 say sure 1240 00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:49.760 sure grab it sure 1241 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:51.680 you can say absolutely 1242 00:45:51.680 --> 00:45:53.359 absolutely it's actually when you owe 1243 00:45:53.359 --> 00:45:55.520 something to someone and they ask for a 1244 00:45:55.520 --> 00:45:57.040 favor and you're like you've been 1245 00:45:57.040 --> 00:45:59.520 waiting to do this favor so for example 1246 00:45:59.520 --> 00:46:01.040 i borrowed one of my friend's car and 1247 00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:03.839 then he wants to borrow mine and i say 1248 00:46:03.839 --> 00:46:05.680 absolutely please borrow my car because 1249 00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:07.680 i've been waiting for you to ask me for 1250 00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:10.480 this absolutely absolutely 1251 00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:12.839 certainly can you lend me some money 1252 00:46:12.839 --> 00:46:15.760 certainly certainly all right it's also 1253 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:17.359 another word that you can use let's look 1254 00:46:17.359 --> 00:46:19.760 at an example can i take a rain check on 1255 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:21.839 our meeting this weekend all right i 1256 00:46:21.839 --> 00:46:23.280 don't know if you remember guys but in 1257 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:24.719 one of my videos we actually talked 1258 00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:27.119 about having a rain check on something 1259 00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:29.119 that actually that's an idiom you can't 1260 00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:31.119 really translate it i don't know maybe 1261 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:32.800 it translates to some languages this 1262 00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:34.160 actually means that you cannot accept 1263 00:46:34.160 --> 00:46:36.160 the invitation right now but you would 1264 00:46:36.160 --> 00:46:38.079 be willing to do it a little later so 1265 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:39.760 when somebody says can i have a rain 1266 00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:41.520 check on our meeting this weekend that 1267 00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:44.000 means can we actually cancel it and 1268 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.560 reschedule for a later date sometimes 1269 00:46:46.560 --> 00:46:48.719 later and you say all right or you say 1270 00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:50.640 okay if you agree can i take a rain 1271 00:46:50.640 --> 00:46:52.880 check find by me is also another 1272 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:54.560 expression to replace okay when you 1273 00:46:54.560 --> 00:46:57.280 agree with something fine by me you 1274 00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:58.640 fine by me 1275 00:46:58.640 --> 00:47:00.000 and the last one is also one of my 1276 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.719 favorites it's uh by all means that 1277 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:04.960 means you absolutely agree by all means 1278 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.280 borrow my car take my money 1279 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.599 take whatever you want by all means by 1280 00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.160 all means the third case of using okay 1281 00:47:12.160 --> 00:47:14.000 is actually asking for permission when 1282 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.079 we say is that okay we're asking for 1283 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:17.680 permission but we can also use other 1284 00:47:17.680 --> 00:47:20.559 phrases we can say is that all right is 1285 00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:22.319 that all right or another one that i 1286 00:47:22.319 --> 00:47:25.119 really really like is it fine by you so 1287 00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:27.200 you're kind of running it by something 1288 00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:30.239 is it fine by you uh that i skip our 1289 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.719 meeting tomorrow another phrase going to 1290 00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:35.200 work out i want to change your logo is 1291 00:47:35.200 --> 00:47:37.440 it going to work out and a very formal 1292 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.680 replacement for okay is acceptable i 1293 00:47:39.680 --> 00:47:42.079 want to take a week off work is that 1294 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:44.559 acceptable in this company so it's like 1295 00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:46.559 you're asking your boss another 1296 00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:48.400 circumstance where we use okay all the 1297 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:51.280 time is when we talk about ourselves i'm 1298 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:52.400 okay today 1299 00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.119 i am fine so couple words that would 1300 00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:57.599 help you replace okay in this case are 1301 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:00.319 not that bad not that bad 1302 00:48:00.319 --> 00:48:01.599 good enough 1303 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:04.880 good enough fine fine fine fine and all 1304 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:06.400 right all right 1305 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:08.480 so all of them are pretty basic and easy 1306 00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:10.719 to remember another interesting usage of 1307 00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:12.480 the word okay is actually changing the 1308 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:14.880 subject so an example will be when you 1309 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.119 start a phrase with the word okay and 1310 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:19.119 then you introduce something else like 1311 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:21.520 for example you were talking about 1312 00:48:21.520 --> 00:48:23.920 starting a company and you're talking to 1313 00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:26.239 your friend and your friend is like okay 1314 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:28.079 here is what you need to start a company 1315 00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.079 because before that you actually decided 1316 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:31.440 that you're gonna start a company so 1317 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.559 with this okay uh you are introducing a 1318 00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.079 new topic in the conversation you're 1319 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.079 introducing like a new paragraph in the 1320 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:40.239 conversation the word okay in this case 1321 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:43.599 can be replaced by now now let's talk 1322 00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:46.640 about our plans for the weekend now 1323 00:48:46.640 --> 00:48:48.480 let's talk about your father 1324 00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:50.000 all right 1325 00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:52.160 all right let's talk about starting the 1326 00:48:52.160 --> 00:48:54.559 company and uh please pay attention that 1327 00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:55.760 uh in this case it's like an 1328 00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:57.839 introductory word in the sentence so we 1329 00:48:57.839 --> 00:49:01.119 have to uh put a coma after it all right 1330 00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:02.880 let's talk about 1331 00:49:02.880 -->

and as you 1367 00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:21.440 might have guessed this word is but 1368 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:23.359 we use but 1369 00:50:23.359 --> 00:50:25.680 all the time when we speak when we're 1370 00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:28.960 right however if you find yourself using 1371 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:30.079 bud 1372 00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.239 too often you might want to watch this 1373

--> 00:50:38.800 and what you've noticed already is that 1377 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:40.880 i could have said but if you find 1378 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:44.000 yourself using the word but very often 1379 00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.640 i use however and however is one of the 1380 00:50:46.640 --> 00:50:49.440 ways to replace the word but and sound 1381 00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:51.839 more like a native speaker and sound 1382 00:50:51.839 --> 00:50:55.119 more beautiful in english so let's start 1383 00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:57.680 but before we start make sure that you 1384 00:50:57.680 --> 00:50:59.599 subscribe to this channel and like this 1385 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:01.520 video because you know what my goal is 1386 00:51:01.520 --> 00:51:03.119 there are so many channels here on 1387 00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:04.880 youtube teaching english and if you 1388 00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:06.880 compare by the number of subscribers i'm 1389 00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.480 number six 1390 00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:10.800 i wanna be top three help me to get into 1391 00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.040 top three i think we have all chances 1392 00:51:13.040 --> 00:51:14.800 with you guys so you subscribe this 1393 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:16.719 channel and share it with your friends 1394 00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:18.319 this would really really help me 1395 00:51:18.319 --> 00:51:19.920 accomplish my 1396 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.719 internal goal the word but is one of the 1397 00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.960 coordinating conjunctions in the english 1398 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.800 language the other ones that you might 1399 00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:30.880 know are and or so for 1400 00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.640 nor and yet but is used to contrast two 1401 00:51:34.640 --> 00:51:37.599 parts of a sentence that are different 1402 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.319 in some way so let me go straight to an 1403 00:51:40.319 --> 00:51:42.960 example i like the dinner but i didn't 1404 00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.119 like the dessert so we're contrasting in 1405 00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:46.800 the first part of the sentence you're 1406 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:49.280 saying you enjoyed dinner 1407 00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:50.640 but in the second part you're 1408 00:51:50.640 --> 00:51:52.480 contrasting it with the fact that you 1409 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.119 didn't like the dessert so the first way 1410 00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:56.640 to replace butt 1411 00:51:56.640 --> 00:51:59.200 is to use the word yet and yet is 1412 00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:01.440 another coordinator that we talked about 1413 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.160 already i like the dinner yet i didn't 1414 00:52:04.160 --> 00:52:06.480 like the dessert yet 1415 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.000 and because they have both coordinating 1416 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:09.920 conjunctions you don't really have to 1417 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:11.920 change anything about the sentence you 1418 00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.400 just replace but with yet and here you 1419 00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:18.000 go you already sound more interesting 1420 00:52:18.000 --> 00:52:20.800 although though even though 1421 00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:23.200 another way to replace bud let's stick 1422 00:52:23.200 --> 00:52:25.440 to our example to make it easier i like 1423 00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:27.839 the dinner although i didn't like the 1424 00:52:27.839 --> 00:52:29.119 dessert 1425 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:30.719 i like the dinner 1426 00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:32.400 though 1427 00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:34.800 i didn't like the dessert i liked the 1428 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:35.839 dinner 1429 00:52:35.839 --> 00:52:38.400 even though i didn't like the dessert so 1430 00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.319 in this example we just put all the 1431 00:52:40.319 --> 00:52:42.160 words in the middle of the sentence 1432 00:52:42.160 --> 00:52:45.440 nothing changed easy peasy but 1433 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:46.640 however 1434 00:52:46.640 --> 00:52:48.719 there is something else we can do we can 1435 00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:50.480 put those words 1436 00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.559 at the beginning of the sentence now 1437 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:55.040 let's look at how our examples change 1438 00:52:55.040 --> 00:52:57.359 although i like the dinner i didn't like 1439 00:52:57.359 --> 00:52:58.800 the dessert 1440 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.800 though i liked the dinner 1441 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:03.040 i didn't like the dessert 1442 00:53:03.040 --> 00:53:05.839 even though i liked the dinner i didn't 1443 00:53:05.839 --> 00:53:07.359 like the dessert 1444 00:53:07.359 --> 00:53:09.760 although i like all though 1445 00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:12.640 except for in order to use except for in 1446 00:53:12.640 --> 00:53:14.719 our example we actually need to get rid 1447 00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:17.040 of the subject and the verb in the 1448 00:53:17.040 --> 00:53:20.079 second part and we will end up with a 1449 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:22.960 sentence i like the dinner except for 1450 00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.040 the dessert so it basically removed i 1451 00:53:25.040 --> 00:53:26.319 didn't like 1452 00:53:26.319 --> 00:53:28.800 from the second sentence except for 1453 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:32.559 besides again same meaning as but but if 1454 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:35.119 you decide to use besides you need to 1455 00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:37.599 change the sentence that you're using 1456 00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:39.920 besides the dessert 1457 00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:42.079 i really like the dinner so the same 1458 00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:44.480 thing happened we had to remove the 1459 00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:47.119 subject and the verb in the second part 1460 00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:49.040 in the contradictory part of our 1461 00:53:49.040 --> 00:53:51.040 sentence besides 1462 00:53:51.040 --> 00:53:53.680 apart from apart from is used in the 1463 00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:56.079 same way as besides apart from the 1464 00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:58.400 dessert i like the dinner 1465 00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:01.839 apartment despite yes you can use it as 1466 00:54:01.839 --> 00:54:03.920 replacement for butt but again you have 1467 00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:05.839 to change your sentence a little bit 1468 00:54:05.839 --> 00:54:08.719 let's look at the example despite liking 1469 00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.520 the dinner i didn't like the dessert so 1470 00:54:11.520 --> 00:54:13.119 with despite we actually changed the 1471 00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:15.680 first part of the sentence and we remove 1472 00:54:15.680 --> 00:54:18.319 i and we again remove the subject 1473 00:54:18.319 --> 00:54:20.480 despite recent events 1474 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.119 however we use however to show that 1475 00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:25.119 something we're saying now contrasts 1476 00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:27.599 with something we've said before and you 1477 00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.239 can't really use it well you can but 1478 00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:31.920 ideally you use it in a separate 1479 00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:34.079 sentence i really like the dinner 1480 00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:36.960 however i didn't like the dessert so you 1481 00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:38.799 can either use semicolon because 1482 00:54:38.799 --> 00:54:42.000 semicolon kind of tells you that these 1483 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.079 are actually two separate thoughts so 1484 00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:46.160 you can do that or you can just create 1485 00:54:46.160 --> 00:54:48.239 two separate sentences from whatever you 1486 00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:50.480 had i like the dinner 1487 00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:52.880 the next sentence however i didn't like 1488 00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:54.799 the dessert and make sure you put a 1489 00:54:54.799 --> 00:54:57.359 comma after however yes you can use 1490 00:54:57.359 --> 00:54:59.839 however in the middle of the sentence 1491 00:54:59.839 --> 00:55:01.920 but still you would need to separate 1492 00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:05.119 your initial example so let's look at it 1493 00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:06.480 i like the dinner 1494 00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:08.319 then we start the second sentence but we 1495 00:55:08.319 --> 00:55:10.079 don't start with however we can put 1496 00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:12.880 however in the middle i didn't 1497 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:14.239 however 1498 00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:17.280 like the dessert but again don't forget 1499 00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:20.239 that you need a comma before however and 1500 00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.799 after however and if you have questions 1501 00:55:22.799 --> 00:55:25.680 about where to put commas i have a whole 1502 00:55:25.680 --> 00:55:26.880 video 1503 00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:28.480 about commas i think it's the most 1504 00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:30.559 comprehensive video about commas i've 1505 00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:33.359 ever seen the link is down below however 1506 00:55:33.359 --> 00:55:35.920 in contrast is the next way to replace 1507 00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:38.480 butt in your speech it is used the same 1508 00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:41.920 way as however but it's just more formal 1509 00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:43.599 i like the dinner 1510 00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:46.480 in contrast i didn't like the dessert 1511 00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:48.160 and you might be wondering marina there 1512 00:55:48.160 --> 00:55:50.480 are so many examples how am i supposed 1513 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.119 to use them in my speech all the time 1514 00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:54.319 you don't have to use them in your 1515 00:55:54.319 --> 00:55:56.160 speech all the time if i were you i 1516 00:55:56.160 --> 00:55:58.960 would definitely memorize these examples 1517 00:55:58.960 --> 00:55:59.839 and 1518 00:55:59.839 --> 00:56:02.319 i would use all the alternatives when 1519 00:56:02.319 --> 00:56:04.559 you write essays when you write emails 1520 00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:06.239 because when i write something and then 1521 00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.119 i look at it i just see one word repeat 1522 00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:12.640 itself many many times but but i i very 1523 00:56:12.640 --> 00:56:14.960 very very so i would just 1524 00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:16.719 look at the text once again and try to 1525 00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:19.280 replace the words that i've used too 1526 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.160 many times okay we have a couple more 1527 00:56:22.160 --> 00:56:25.040 options left another way to replace butt 1528 00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:27.359 is to use the word nevertheless it is 1529 00:56:27.359 --> 00:56:29.839 used in the same way as however and in 1530 00:56:29.839 --> 00:56:33.200 contrast i like the dinner nevertheless 1531 00:56:33.200 --> 00:56:35.920 i didn't like the dessert nevertheless 1532 00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:37.280 on the other hand 1533 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:40.239 is used in the same meaning as butt but 1534 00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:42.319 please remember that when you use on the 1535 00:56:42.319 --> 00:56:44.799 other hand that means that previously 1536 00:56:44.799 --> 00:56:47.040 you should have used on the one hand 1537 00:56:47.040 --> 00:56:48.559 let's look at the example to make it 1538 00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:51.280 clear on the one hand i liked our dinner 1539 00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:54.239 today on the other hand i think that the 1540 00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:58.480 dessert was disgusting 1541 00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:01.680 means very bad not very tasty but it's a 1542 00:57:01.680 --> 00:57:04.400 strong word so if you're using this word 1543 00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:06.400 make sure nobody gets offended because 1544 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:08.319 that would be really offended if i cook 1545 00:57:08.319 --> 00:57:09.839 dessert and somebody tells me it's 1546 00:57:09.839 --> 00:57:12.559 disgusting okay homework 1547 00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:15.119 replace the word but in the sentences 1548 00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:16.880 that i'm gonna give you the weather 1549 00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:19.599 wasn't good but i enjoyed my trip to the 1550 00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:21.599 lake my friend doesn't usually read 1551 00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:24.720 books but he read harry potter 1552 00:57:24.720 --> 00:57:26.720 i

01:04:11.520 talk about a phrase oh my god 1733 01:04:11.520 --> 01:04:13.839 oh my god is this race that is used 1734 01:04:13.839 --> 01:04:16.079 everywhere by native speakers especially 1735 01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:17.839 and it's in my opinion i haven't 1736 01:04:17.839 --> 01:04:20.559 analyzed that statistically but a lot of 1737 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:23.520 young women use it all the time and oh 1738 01:04:23.520 --> 01:04:25.200 my god is this race 1739 01:04:25.200 --> 01:04:27.920 that most of all means surprise and 1740 01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:29.839 sometimes it can be a pleasant surprise 1741 01:04:29.839 --> 01:04:32.079 like oh my god 1742 01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.280 marina you look so beautiful today i am 1743 01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:39.480 i am surprised you

video is to replace oh my god in 1750 01:04:53.680 --> 01:04:55.680 your speech and also 1751 01:04:55.680 --> 01:04:58.079 make you acquainted with other 1752 01:04:58.079 --> 01:04:59.440 phrases that people use because there 1753 01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:01.359 are a lot of phrases that resemble this 1754 01:05:01.359 --> 01:05:03.760 phrase and they mean the same but you 1755 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:05.680 might not recognize them straight away 1756 01:05:05.680 --> 01:05:07.039 so today we're going to talk about those 1757 01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:09.119 phrases and hopefully you would be able 1758 01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:10.559 to use them when you're talking to 1759 01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:12.160 native speakers when you're in an 1760 01:05:12.160 --> 01:05:14.000 english-speaking country because 1761 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:16.319 using them would definitely make you 1762 01:05:16.319 --> 01:05:18.319 sound more like a native speaker and 1763 01:05:18.319 --> 01:05:19.920 people would understand that you 1764 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:21.520 understand their culture and again there 1765 01:05:21.520 --> 01:05:23.440 is nothing bad at sounding like you're a 1766 01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:25.839 non-native speaker but still like 1767 01:05:25.839 --> 01:05:27.599 knowing those phrases knowing those 1768 01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:29.599 tricks is something really

again means the same 1829 01:07:56.559 --> 01:08:00.160 holy moly you look beautiful today or 1830 01:08:00.160 --> 01:08:03.480 holy moly you look weird today 1831 01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:07.039 holy

some phrases that you 1835 01:08:11.520 --> 01:08:14.400 particularly like like holy moly you can 1836 01:08:14.400 --> 01:08:16.238 say anything about this video using this 1837 01:08:16.238 --> 01:08:18.640 phrase like holy moly marina your setup 1838 01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:20.880 is amazing today or holy moly marina i 1839 01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:22.319 like you're here so i don't know if it's 1840 01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:25.120 falling down but i watched this video 1841 01:08:25.120 --> 01:08:26.640 which is like a two minute video on how 1842 01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:28.319 to create this hair cell and i think 1843 01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:30.479 it's great but i think it was supposed i 1844 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:32.000 was supposed to 1845 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.000 put more hairspray on because i think 1846 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:36.159 it's fun but i think it's so beautiful 1847 01:08:36.159 --> 01:08:38.799 anyways you say holy moly or oh my 1848 01:08:38.799 --> 01:08:41.839 goodness marina you look amazing like or 1849 01:08:41.839 --> 01:08:43.839 oh my goodness marina this is so boring 1850 01:08:43.839 --> 01:08:46.000 i knew everything before even watching 1851 01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:48.000 this video so whatever you want to say 1852 01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:49.600 about this video i won't be offended i 1853 01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:51.198 want you to use this phrase in the 1854 01:08:51.198 --> 01:08:52.799 comments below and 1855 01:08:52.799 --> 01:08:54.880 you would be first practicing it and 1856 01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:56.799 second memorizing it better because once 1857 01:08:56.799 --> 01:08:59.279 we use phrases we memorize them better 1858 01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:01.839 the next phrase holy crap 1859 01:09:01.839 --> 01:09:03.359 if you don't know what crab means it 1860 01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:04.640 means poop 1861 01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:07.279 and we'll have a picture here for you uh 1862 01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:08.080 so 1863 01:09:08.080 --> 01:09:10.000 holy crap if you just look at this 1864 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:11.759 phrase you would think it probably means 1865 01:09:11.759 --> 01:09:13.839 something bad doesn't necessarily mean 1866 01:09:13.839 --> 01:09:15.679 something bad again you can say holy 1867 01:09:15.679 --> 01:09:16.799 crap 1868 01:09:16.799 --> 01:09:18.799 what a beautiful dress 1869 01:09:18.799 --> 01:09:21.600 or holy crap i forgot my phone again so 1870 01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:23.920 it can be both depending on the context 1871 01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:26.640 you always look for cues in the context 1872 01:09:26.640 --> 01:09:28.640 to decide whether it's a pleasant or 1873 01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.040 unpleasant surprise holy crap or you can 1874 01:09:31.040 --> 01:09:33.839 say holy crap he was broke six months 1875 01:09:33.839 --> 01:09:35.920 ago and now he's a millionaire i don't 1876 01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:37.439 know whether it's a plus or unpleasant 1877 01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:39.600 surprise depending on the situation uh 1878 01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:41.679 but yeah and you can also say holy cow 1879 01:09:41.679 --> 01:09:43.920 holy cow is a phrase that you can also 1880 01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:48.799 use same as holy crap holy cow oh man or 1881 01:09:48.799 --> 01:09:49.920 oh boy 1882 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.159 again depending on your intonation it 1883 01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:54.560 could either mean frustration 1884 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:57.520 oh boy here he comes again 1885 01:09:57.520 --> 01:09:59.280 oh man 1886 01:09:59.280 --> 01:10:01.280 you've ruined everything 1887 01:10:01.280 --> 01:10:03.520 like this is unpleasant this is 1888 01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:04.540 frustration 1889
