Hello, everyone. I'm Jennifer. I'm from the United States, and I teach American English.
This is Flavia and this is Andreia.
They're from Brazil.
Flavia and Andreia are friends.
We all live in Boston.
Flavia and Andreia are my new students.
Do you want to study with us? Come on. Let's study together.
Hi ladies. Are you ready? Yes. Good. I'm excited. Are you excited?
Yeah. We have "happy." Yeah.
But "excited" is...Let's go!
I'm excited. Okay, we're going to start with something easy. Okay, that's good.
We'll start with hello. Right? In English we have: hello...hi....
Anything else? What else?
Hey? Yes!
Do you know in English sometimes we say there hi there hey there
Hey there, Flavia. Hey there, Jennifer. Hey there, Flavia. Hey.
Hi. Sometimes we do both, like, "Hey! Hi." Hi there. Hey there. Hi.
Yeah
Hello
Hi
Hey
Hi there. Hey there
Any of them. Hello is for everyone.
Right. Hi is for who?
Friends,
neighbors,
classmates,
coworkers. And "hey also," you know is very relaxed. Okay. Hey.
In English... and you probably hear Americans say, "Hello.
How are you?" Right? That's good. But again, we have hello, hi, hey, hi there,
hey there... There's more. Right? We can say, "How are you?" and
what else?
Okay. How are you?
How are you doing?
So we like to say: Hello. How are you? Hi. How are you doing? So you say hello and
something else like a question. Right? Hi Flavia. How are you doing?
Hi and how are you doing or how are you... hey there...how are you? Hi there. How are you doing?
So say hello and ask a question. Can you say it? Oh...
Hello. How are you?
But you combine: Hello. How are you?/ Hey. How are you?/ or Hi there. How are you doing?
1 and 2
When you say hello, say hi and
something else, a question, for example. There's more there. There's another question. How about this one?
How's it going? How is it going? And fast: how's it.
How's it how's it going? How's it going?
How's it going?
Hi, Andrea. How's it going?
Hi Flavia. How's it going?
You can say: Hey, how are doing?
Okay. I'm gonna add one more. We have: Hello. Hi.
Hey. Hi there. Hey there. But "good morning" is for everyone.
Oh, right, so you'll hear good morning. Good morning, Flavia.
Good morning, Andreia. ...Or again, just like we had "How is it going?" > "How's it going?"
Right? Good morning >
fast, will sound like either
"Morning" or "G'morning."
So you might hear "good morning." Good morning, Andreia. Good morning.
You might hear without the "good": Morning! Morning, Flavia. Morning.
That's it. Or you hear the G. G' G'
G'morning! G'morning, Flavia. G'morning, Andreia.
Yeah, and again we combine it: Good morning. How are you doing?
There are more questions.
Do you hear: How are you?
How are you doing?
How's it going?
What's going on?
What's going on? What's going on? So try one and two. To Flavia.
Hello Flavia. What's going on?
Hi Andreia. What are you doing?
Not "what are you doing." How are you doing?
How are you doing?
One and then two.
How about this one?
What's new? Have you heard that? What's new? Right? Today is a new day.
Maybe I saw you a week ago... and then - Hey. What's new? How are you? Good morning. What's new?
And you just say, "Hey there. How's it going?"
Sometimes there's a question and no answer. Okay. Right? Hey. What's new? - Hi. How are you doing?
No answer. Sometimes.
I always...think (about how to) answer.
Yeah. With an answer. Sometimes there's no answer: Hey. Hey. Hi. Hi. That's all.
But sometimes there could be answers. Let's do another one. Oh... What's up?
Ok, so hello...how are you...is everyone. What's up?
Not... What's up, Doctor? What's up, Mr. - ? Mrs. - ? What's up... is with friends,
classmates, co-workers. Hey. What's up?
Hi. What's new?
Sometimes we have phrases like:
Good to see you!
Answer?
Just "Good to see you." LIke...Hi there. Good to see you.
Hey. How are you doing? That's all. So try the new ones. Andreia. Can you say hello?
Good morning, Flavia.
What's new? - Hi Andreia. What's up?
Good to see you. Yeah, good to see you. Sometimes there is an answer.
Question and answer. So we could say: How are you?
How are you doing? How is it going? The answer could be: Not bad.
Not bad. How about you? Listen. Not bad. How about you?
Good. So, how are you? Not bad. How about you?
You might hear this.
Doing well. Thanks. You? So listen: Doing well. Thanks. You?
Question. Yeah: you? Listen: Doing well. Thanks. You?
- I'm fine. Yeah, but you try. Listen and repeat. Doing well. Thanks. You?
Good. Okay?
doing well
Doing well. Thanks. You?
And everyone's happy. In America, maybe you wake up in the morning. You're tired. Your head hurts. It's raining.
It's cold, but someone says, "Hi." ...And..."Hi!"
How are you? - Good!
Good. Thanks. You?
And Americans like to be happy, so even if the morning is bad, and
someone says, "Good morning. How's it going?" - Good, good. Not bad.
Everything is good.
Not bad. Okay. There are more. Sometimes you can say, "Good. Thanks. And you?"
So... "Doing well. Thanks. You?" or "Good. Thanks. And you?" Same intonation.
Good. Thanks. And you?
Hey. How are you doing?
Hi there.
What's going?
What's going on? What's going on? Mm-hmm. If you ask me, "What's going on?" I might say, "Not much."
Not much.
Yeah, not much. How are you? So... What's new? What's going on? - You might say: Not much. How are you?
That's a typical response.
Hey Flavia. How are you?
Not bad. How about you?
Good. I'm fine. Or we say "good"... we like to say things two times. Good, good.
Not bad. Not bad.
For some reason people sometimes say things two times. Good, good.
Not bad. Not bad.
Say hi to Andreia.
Hey Andreia. What's going on?
Doing. Thanks. You? ...- Oh. Sorry.
Again. One more time.
Hey Andreia. What's going on? Not much. How are you?
Say: Not bad. Not bad.
Okay. Not bad.
Doing well.
Good.
Sometimes you hear "pretty good."
Pretty good is not very good. But like...pretty good.
Not bad. It's the same. Pretty good. What's new with you?
So you might say, "Good morning. How's it going?"
- Pretty good. What's new with you?
with
Yeah. What's new with you?
Try again. What's new with you?
Not much.
Yeah, good to see you. What's new?
So sometimes these questions, like "what's up?" What's up? - There's no answer. What's up?
Is it correct? What's up? - What's up?
Yeah. What's up? Hey. How's it going?
Sometimes someone says: How's it going? What's new? What's up? And the person says, Hey. Yeah. Good to see you.
There's no answer, right? It's good to see you. - Good to see you too. All right? Someone says, "Good to see you."
- Good to see you too. Try that. Good to see you. Good to see you too.
Good to see you what you see you too. Yeah, good to see you too. What's new?
Okay, so we have so many ways to say hello in English. Okay?
Do you remember what to say?
What's new?
How's it going?
What's going on?
How are you doing?
Good to see you.
That's all for now.
