How do you call this in English? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What’s up
guys? My name is Shane and today we are talking about 5 phrases that native speakers don’t
use. One of the best ways to learn English is to learn phrases that native speakers DO
use. But if you’re learning phrases that native speakers don’t use, this will make
your English sound a little bit funny. But don’t worry because today we talk about
5 phrases native speakers don’t use and what to say instead. And the first phrase
native speakers don’t use is: I am fine thank you and you? This is textbook English.
It’s correct. It’s grammatically correct. It makes sense, but when a native speaker
hears this, it sounds a little bit funny, it sounds a little bit strange. So if someone
asks you, how are you, a very common response which native speakers use all the time is
I’m good thanks, you? I’m good thanks, you? Now you try – I’m good thanks, you?
This is a very common phrase and you can use it anywhere, anytime with anybody. It can
be used in a formal situation and in an informal situation. So the next time someone asks you
how are you, say I’m good thanks, you? They will think you are a native speaker. And the
next phrase is a phrase that native speakers don’t use when talking to friends. It’s
I would like to invite you to go to … this is grammatically correct. It makes sense but
it’s very very very very very formal. It’s very rarely used in daily conversation. So
if you want to invite your friends to do something, 2 very common ways to do that are: do you
want to go to..? or we should go to… so let’s pretend you want to invite your friends
to the beach, you can say, do you want to go the beach or we should go the beach. And
when native speakers say the first one, do you want to go the beach, really really really
quickly, it sounds like this. Do yuh wanna go to the beach? Do yuh wanna go to the beach?
We don’t say want to. we say wanna. Now you try. Do yuh wanna go to the beach? So
the next time you want to invite your friend to do something, you can say do you wanna
go to, or we should go to. How do you call this in English? No no no no. If you don’t
know a word in English, the most common way to ask is: what do you call this in English.
So let’s say you see this and you don’t know how to say it in English. You can say
what do you call this in English? And when a native speaker says this really quickly,
it sounds like this: wodduyuh call this in English? Wodduyuh. Wodduyuh call this in English?
We don’t say what do you. We say wodduyuh. Now you try: Wodduyuh call this in English?
So the next time you don’t know how to say a word in English, you can say: Wodduyuh call
this in English? So how many years are you? No, no, no, no, no. if you want to ask someone
their age, the most common way is: how old are you? How old are you? And when a native
speaker says this really quickly, it sounds like this. Howoldare you? Howoldare you? The
how and the old come to you. It sounds like Howoldare you? Now you try - Howoldare you?
So the next time you want to ask someone’s age in English, you can say: Howoldare you?
Okay and that is the end of the video today, goodbye. No I’m just kidding. In English,
we rarely use the word goodbye. This is textbook English and it sounds very strange to a native
speaker. So what you can say instead, if you want to say bye to someone, you can say bye,
bye bye or see you later. Bye, bye bye, or see you later. And when we say see you later,
really really quickly, it sounds like this. Seeyuh layduh, Seeyuh layduh. We don’t say
see you, we say seeyuh,. We don’t say later, we say layduh. Seeyuh layduh. Now you try
- Seeyuh layduh. So the next time you want to say bye to your friends, you can try one
of these three phrases. And that is it for today. Thank you so much for watching. Now
you know 5 common phrases that native speakers don’t use and what you can say instead.
