hello it's nice to meet you hello it's
nice to meet you you can only use this
the first time that you meet someone if
you say this to somebody after you have
met them already you're going to seem
either a like you've completely
forgotten meeting them or be like you
are a very strange person for saying
it's nice to meet you again so
when you use this the first time you can
shake hands with someone and say hello
it's nice to meet you
i love traveling you are the kind of
person who wants to go to many different
countries and you want to be able to
speak to the people in those countries
presumably english-speaking countries
you can say i love traveling maybe i
think it's going to rain tomorrow you
can say yeah maybe you don't know for
sure yes or no but it's possible it's a
good sort of in-between expression but
if you use maybe all the time it's going
to sound really strange and it's going
to sound like you can't make a decision
so use maybe very sparingly don't use it
so often maybe it is very commonly used
as a soft no it's up to you to figure
that out among the people that you're
talking to though can i try this on is
useful when you're shopping for clothes
so you find something that you'd like to
try just ask the staff can i try this on
you can just say i want to try this on
if you like the next pattern is i feel
like blah blah blah you can use i feel
like when you introduce a suggestion or
something that you would like to do
especially for food drinks or activities
so for example i feel like coffee i feel
like italian food i feel like an action
movie there's some activity or something
you would like to do at the end of this
pattern i feel like bowling this
afternoon something needs to go here
some sort of activity
of course
you can use this expression to talk
about your feelings i feel like
something but this something must be a
noun it must be a noun like if you feel
really great i feel like a million bucks
for example if you feel really bad i
feel like
garbage
that's a nice expression that somehow
just came out of my head anyway
you can use this in two ways but this
must be completed with a noun phrase at
the end of the sentence
what did you say
what did you say if you couldn't quite
hear something that someone else said
you can use this question to confirm
sorry what did you say it's a little
nicer than just saying what
what did you say or what did you just
say sorry what did you say i couldn't
hear you i enjoy
many of my students say what is your
hobby but that's not something that
native speakers will say no native
speakers say what is your hobby instead
we ask
what do you like to do or what do you do
in your free time this is a much more
natural question then what's your hobby
the answer to this then is i enjoy or i
like plus a noun phrase so for example
what do you like to do i like listening
to music or i enjoy listening to music
what do you do in your free time i like
watching movies what do you do in your
free time i like baking cakes what do
you do in your free time i
enjoy
tap dancing what do you do in your free
time i enjoy
making
new friends oh i want to speak to my
partner's family in their language i
want to speak to my partner's family in
their language so maybe you and your
partner share a common language and you
can communicate together but maybe your
partner's family does not have that same
common language you maybe decide oh i
want to learn some of the language so
that i can communicate with my partner's
family that might be a good reason to
study yes
you're right yes you're right means
you're correct yes i agree with you i
think that's the right information i
think that's the correct opinion just a
very clear agreement phrase you're right
it also has the nuance of being correct
so maybe there was
there was a possibility the other person
could be incorrect did you know that
pepperoni pizza is the most delicious
pizza in the world yes
you're right you could change it too
that's right for that opinion you can
use your to talk specifically about the
person itself but that's right yes
that's right that information is correct
could we have the menu please if for
some reason you don't receive a menu
when you come to the table you can again
just wave at a member of the staff and
say could we have the menu please
where are you from the next word the
next question is where are you from this
can refer to your country or your city
um but i feel like prob more stuff and
it refers to your country so where are
you from your answer should be i'm from
place i'm from china i'm from japan i'm
from vietnam i'm from america whatever
i'm from
absolutely absolutely means 100
yes exactly precisely definitely it's a
quick and clear and can be polite as
well as casual um word that means you
agree with the other person hey do you
want to go to the beach this weekend
yeah absolutely absolutely the next word
is yes
yes of course yes means is any
positive expression someone asks you a
question and the answer is a positive
answer you say yes yep
no
next word is want
want what do you want i want food how
many coffees have you ever wanted i
wanted to go to the dry cleaners this
morning but i ran out of time that's
true
where is the bathroom where is the
bathroom very important question where
is the bathroom in american english
where is the bathroom or where is the
restroom is more common than where is
the toilet using the word toilet is a
little bit too direct in american
english so i recommend bathroom or
restroom i'd like to have a non-smoking
seat please so when you go to a
restaurant you have an option between
smoking and non-smoking sections the
staff will say smoking or non-smoking
you can say i'd like to have a
non-smoking seat please quite honestly
though the most natural response is just
to say non-smoking i'm sorry is the next
word we're gonna talk about i'm sorry is
used to apologize when you have made a
mistake or someone you know has made a
mistake and you're connected to it or
you just feel bad you can use i'm sorry
you made a mistake at work i'm sorry
you
forgot to feed your cat i'm sorry sorry
about that you bump someone next to you
oh sorry tell is the next verb tell me a
story
tell me lies tell me sweet little life
tell me
the truth the whole truth and nothing
but the truth i'm told that you are an
extremely good opera singer i'm telling
you
to leave
tell
lies
every day don't tell lies the next word
is place place can be used to refer
generally to a location commonly to
refer to friends homes or apartments
let's go to your place or can we have
the party at your place is a little bit
more natural than i want to go to your
house is this the train for blah blah
blah or is this the train that goes to
blah blah blah to confirm with someone
that i'm indeed on the correct train
line if i say is this the train bound
for san francisco you can use that to
check if you're correct the next phrase
is i would like to order something you
can use this at a restaurant probably or
in any situation where you need to place
an order i'd like a pizza i'd like
a
beer can i get the check please this
will be used at a restaurant when you've
finished your meal and it's time to go
can i get the check please in a very
very casual situation you can just say
check please that's fine the next phrase
is see you soon see you soon is used
with friends and family members perhaps
uh when you expect to see them again
soon after saying goodbye to them this
is used at the end of the conversation
you're going separate directions see you
soon see ya is also good or just see you
to make it a little more formal you can
say i'll see you again soon make a full
sentence out of it that way the next
phrases see you later see you later it's
very similar to see you soon but the
point is with cu later is that you're
probably going to meet that person again
later on in the same day the last phrase
is really really is a very useful word
because you can use it to show you're
interested in a conversation with upward
intonation really really tell me more or
to show that you're not so interested in
the conversation with downward
intonation really so there are many
other words that you can use similar to
really in this way like seriously or oh
oh
and so on so it's a really good practice
for your intonation
