  • Today we're going to talk about saying hello.

  • You might be saying to yourself "Saying hello? That's easy!"

  • Take a look at this:

  • Hello. How are you?

  • Fine, thank you. And you?

  • Yes. I am also fine. Thank you.

  • Does that sound native to you?

  • The first thing you should know, is a native speaker almost never says "Hello."

  • We usually say "Hi," or "Hey."

  • The only time we really use the word "Hello" is when we answer the phone.

  • But to me, even "Hi," or "Hey," sound a little bit unnatural.

  • When I see somebody, I usually say "What's up?"

  • Probably the most common greeting in an informal situation is "What's up?"

  • it's important to understand what "What's up" means.

  • Technically, it means "What's happening?" or "What's going on right now?"

  • So it is not correct, when someone asks you "What's up?" to say

  • "Fine, thank you."

  • It happens all the time.

  • So: the correct response to "What's up is..."

  • Notice: sometimes I say "What's up"

  • Sometimes I say "Sup?"

  • Let's practice saying that:

  • Now, it is polite to ask someone how they are, but we normally don't say "How are you?"

  • Some more natural, native ways of saying that are:

  • Let's say that together:

  • reviewer

  • Or in New York: How YOU doin? I'm sure you've all seen "Friends."

  • So the next time you meet an English speaker, don't say:

  • Hello. How are you?

  • You can say:

  • This is Shane from NativeEnglishTeacher.NET

  • SOUND NATIVE
