That's the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it! Uh-huh uh-huh!
That's the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it!
Hey, what's up! And welcome to English Mania!
Today we are going to learn to say I like something in different ways,
so that you wouldn't sound dull when you speak and use the phrase I like all that time.
Actually there are tons of expressions you can use here,
but I'm going to teach you the most exciting ones.
We are going to start with some more or less formal expressions,
they're going to make you sound more sophisticated educated and things like that.
And then we'll turn to some fun expressions, colloquial ones,
which will make you sound casual and young. You can say that you like something or that you love something.
If you use the verb love it means that you like it a lot, very very much!
Then you can say I adore something, like
I absolutely adore chocolate! It means that you like something or somebody very much!
This person is like a god to you. Or this chocolate makes you so very happy!
Then you can use the phrase to be fond of something, and this expression is also used
when you like something or somebody very much. An example:
My sister is fond of pointing out my mistakes. She is fond of doing something.
Or you can say to be fond of something. I'm fond of sports. The next phrase is to be keen on something.
I am keen on something and here you mean that you are particularly interested in something
or you are eager to do it.
She's keen on music, she finds it really interesting.
What are you keen on? I'm keen on studying foreign languages! Are you?
The next phrase - I'm really into it. Or you can simply say - I'm into it, into something.
You also find it really interesting, you find it enjoyable.
I have been into psychology lately. What kind of books are you into?
it appeals to me, this phrase is also quite sophisticated and formal.
When something appeals to you it means that it sparks your interest, you find it exciting you want to do it.
In the next two expressions you can find the verb like.
It's to my liking, this phrase is rather sophisticated. This is to my liking.
What do you think about this party? This is to my liking. I need to be wearing glasses for saying that.
And I've grown to like it. Here you mean that you didn't quite like it before,
but then gradually you started liking it more and more, so you've grown to like it.
At first I didn't quite like driving but later I've grown to like it. Now I adore driving!
You can use the phrases which are more or less neutral,
for example, it sounds great, here you like the idea of doing something.
Or you can say it looks good.
The next phrase I am crazy about something, when you are crazy about something of course you love it,
you can't imagine your life without it, this phrase is quite informal.
I am crazy about you! I am crazy about English!
The next two expressions are extremely colloquial!
This is wicked! You mean that you find it so exciting and wonderful!
This is wicked or simply wicked! Imagine that you are about to skydive and you say to your friend:
Whoa! This is wicked! This is totally sick!
Sick usually has a negative meaning, when you are sick it's not good.
But this word can be used in a positive meaning too, so when you say that something is really sick, totally sick
you can mean that you really like it.
I can't get enough of it. I'm crazy about English, I can't get enough of it!
As I have already pointed out there are tons of expressions used to say that you like something.
And these are not the only ones, there are more!
But I hope that today you enlarged your vocabulary and you will avoid using the phrase I like over and over again.
