was thinking have recently because
because of my newly born daughter
daughter so she is four months old
old now and when i meeting people
people with her or showing heard you
you know relatives are people like
like that on skype there's a particular
particular phrase that native speakers

thought you might like to know about
about it as well because it's a great
great thing that will help you again

conversation as well as more confident
confident when you speak often when
when native speakers are trying to
to teach things 29 native speakers
speakers in regular English classroom
classroom want to give you too much
much information we want to give you
you longer sounding things that might
might appear on a test for being in
in a text book or something like that
that but in this series we really
really want to keep things short and
and nice and easy so we say short
short and sweet this just means they
they keep things nice and simple so
so this phrase is like father like
like son like father like son now
now this is the most common way you'll
you'll see this form used their I
I were the most common way you'll
you'll see this used excuse me so
so to say it like father like son
son that's all you have to say when
when you noticed a parent or a child
child as you know something that's
that's related to the No the
the way the parent does it or maybe
maybe something about the way they
they look so let's say my father you
you know he does a certain things
things like he plays baseball really
really well and then I also played
played baseball really well so he
he not needed speaker might say oh
oh I like you do that as well as your
your father does or something like
like that but in native speaker would
would just say it nice and simply
simply like father like son now in
in my case I have a daughter so maybe
maybe she looks like me like we've
we've got the scene ears where the
