hey there i'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and the co-founder of
of English anyone . com it
it is a pleasure to welcome you to
to another speak like me video
video lesson in this lesson we'll
we'll be talking about as usual some
some great phrases that will help
help you sound more native and will
will improve your speaking confidence
confidence now for this video I'd
I'd like to talk about something specific
specific to the season because we're
we're talking about helping people
people and we notice this a bit more
more
more the
the need to help others and kind of
of remembering reminding ourselves
ourselves to help others as well because
because you know even me you know
know we we get thinking about our
our own thoughts and our own ideas
ideas and ourselves and we sometimes
sometimes forget the other people
people around us so
so this is a good time the end of
of the year to remember that to say
say thank you to others but not only
only just to say thank you but to
to offer help to them as well especially
especially when they're not asking
asking for it so
so here's a great way to do this in
in English and sound like a native
native speaker all
all you have to say is need a hand
hand need a hand need
need a hand so do you need a hand
hand it just means do you need my
my help can I help you in some way
way so as an example if I'm trying
trying to maybe open up this door
door behind me this is just a regular
regular closet door but it's really
really heavy and I'm having some trouble
trouble
trouble maybe
maybe a friend is walking by and he
he sees me struggling and he says
says oh
says oh need
need a hand need a hand need a hand
hand
hand now
now listen carefully to how this blends
blends knee duh
duh hand need a hand need
a hand need a hand
hand
hand this
this is a really great very simple
simple phrase that maybe non-native
non-native speakers wouldn't understand
understand it as well unless they
they understand this notion of help
help being a hand so to give a helping
helping hand to somebody that's also
also an expression we use often to
to give a helping hand or to land
land a hand it just means to help
help people but it will definitely
definitely work with native speakers
speakers so if you work with native
native speakers or you live around
around native speaker something like
like that
like that anytime
anytime you see somebody struggling
struggling or you could maybe see
see they need some help like they're
they're you know you're seeing a foreign
foreign tourists or something like
like that like - let's say you live
live in Germany and
and you see a foreign tourists with
with a map and it's like an English
English map and they're struggling
struggling you can walk up to them
them and say need
need a hand need a hand and this is
is also a great way to begin conversations
conversations where you're offering
offering to help people and this is
is one of the things I do when I'm
I'm practicing my Japanese when I
I just walk around and speak with
with people so need a hand is a great
great way to do this and for those
those learners out there that want
want to challenge themselves with
with something longer you
you could say you look like you could
could use a hand you
you look like you could use a hand
hand so I'm watching you and you appear
appear
appear you
you look like you could use a hand
hand it looks like you need some help
help
help so
so you can just say need a hand that's
that's fine by itself or you could
could say you look like you need a
a hand
a hand ah
ah you look like you need a hand you
you look like you need a hand you
you look like you need a hand both
both of these are fantastic again
again you can use either one it doesn't
doesn't matter as long as you're using
using it with people that understand
understand the language quite well
well but it will help you sound more
more native and improve your speaking
speaking confidence always look for
for ways not just in this season but
but any time where you can use the
the language even if you know maybe
maybe they don't need your help USA
USA 0
USA 0 need
need a hand and people say oh I'm
I'm okay I'm okay and
and that's just fine but you're offering
offering to help and that's you know
know showing some kindness but also
also giving you a chance to improve
improve and practice your language
language ability well
well I hope you have enjoyed this
