  • Very crowded, very beautiful, very lovely, very rainy, and very amazinghow many times

  • do you useveryin a day? Very many times, right? How does it sound to hear the

  • wordveryfrom me so many times? You'd be like, “Oh! I think she doesn't know enough

  • words.” Well if you use the wordverythese many times, then the listener will also

  • think that you don't know good words. That's whatverydoes to you. It completely

  • spoils your vocabulary and people think that you don't know enough English and that's why

  • you keep on using the wordvery”. Okay, so what are we going to do today? I am going

  • to help you improve your English by helping you kick outveryfrom your vocabulary

  • and get in some very interesting words that you can use to replacevery”. So if you

  • want to learn all these words, then keep watching this amazing lesson with me, my name is Michelle

  • and you're watching me on Let's Talk. Okay so as you can see that we have all theseverys

  • on the board and we need to kick them out, so what do we do? Let's start, let's look

  • at the first word that we have and this isvery rainy”. Okay do you like rain? I

  • love rain and guess what last night it was raining heavily. But how does it sound when

  • I say that? Okay let me try it again, ‘last night it was pouring’, yes, you're smart.

  • Pouring means it was raining heavily or it was very rainy, okay? So, very rainy as pouring.

  • Do you know where this comes from? Okay have you ever asked anyone, ‘please pour me a

  • glass of wateryes, that's where it comes from. It means to ask someone to put some

  • water in your glass. That's where this word comes from, pouring alright? Now when it's

  • very rainy and it's pouring like it was last night what did I do? Well as simple as that

  • I went into the rain and got soaked. Okay socked is another word that you can use in

  • English to replacevery”. So this word isvery wet”. When something is very

  • wet, it's soaked, which means that there is so much water that it's dropping out of your

  • body. So if you're dripping with water you're basically soaked or drenched, okay? Soaked

  • or drenched. Think about a cotton ball, if you put it in a glass of water it'll become

  • soaked. That's how it will happen to you when you go out when it's pouring, okay? So don't

  • get soaked because if you get soaked then you will become frail, uh-uh, “frail”,

  • now we have another word. Well this word is another word that you can use to kick very

  • in this pair. “Very weakmeans frail in English, okay? Frail. So if you feel that

  • you are sick and you're not doing well, you could say that I've been sick for past two

  • weeks and I feel frailokay which means I feel very weak. Or you could say that, ‘what

  • happened to you? You look kind of frail todaywhich means you look weak. Okay so this is

  • how you use these three words to kickveryout of your vocabulary. Now we move to the

  • next one which isvery sloworvery fast”. Okay I need to tell the secret now,

  • my phone these days is working real slow. So if I need to tell you guys that my phone

  • is working very slow, I wouldn't say it like that, okay? I would instead use a very nice

  • word to say that, which is, ‘my phone is sluggish these days’, which means that it's

  • very slow. So very slow means sluggish. So if you are also facing the same problem and

  • you want to take your phone to the service center, what will you go and say there? You

  • go there and tell them thatmy phone is sluggish these days what can I do about it

  • which means it's very slow and if you have someone in your family who is like kind of

  • lazy you could say thathey you're so sluggishthat's how you use it. Okay now the opposite

  • of very slow is very fast, okay? Of course we all know that but what do you think can

  • we use in English to replace very fast, well okay have you heard the wordswiftyeah?

  • That's the name of a hatchback car Swift and it's also sedan, so that's where this word

  • comes from. It comes from a car which is Swift. Swift in English means something which is

  • very fast. So fast can be called as Swift. Okay so either sluggish or Swift these are

  • the two opposites that you can use to talk about very slow or very fast. Now let's move

  • to the next onevery busy”. What happens during Christmas? How do the streets look

  • and how do the malls look? Don't they look very busy, right? They do, isn't it? So you

  • can say very busy to such a place. Or if you think you are very busy, then what will you

  • say? ‘I am very busy, I can’t do these assignments’, okay? In such a situation

  • you would say that, ‘I'm swamped and I can't do these assignments’, which means that

  • you have so much work to do, that you can't do the assignments. So very busy can be replaced

  • by swamped. Swamped is almost like you have all the work falling on top of you and you

  • don't know where to start, where to end. Now the next one isvery crowded”. So as

  • I was talking that if the streets are packed on Christmas, you often say that they are

  • very crowded, okay? But instead of that you could also say thatthe streets are packed’,

  • which means that there's not even the space to move an inch, okay? Because you see people

  • all around the place, people are out buying gifts. So very crowded could stand for packed.

  • You could say that the malls are packed during Christmas so I don't like to go shopping that

  • time. Okay now let's kick very further away which isvery happy”. So what do we use

  • to replaceveryhere? And there's a very interesting word which isthrilled”.

  • So when you're very excited or very happy like I am right now, that's when you use thrilled.

  • So if you give a good news to somebody they usually become very happy to find out about

  • it, like last Sunday, you could saylast Sunday I got the news of my admission in Atlanta

  • and my aunt was thrilled to hear about it’, which means she got excited and so happy about

  • it. Okay now with that we move to the next one which isvery scary”. Do you like

  • horror movies? Well I really don't like them. Okay have you seen this movie, ‘The Ring

  • well that's a horror movie which is very, very scary, okay? Now when I want to talk

  • about that movie I will say thatthe movie is horrifying’, okay? Instead of saying

  • very scary I would choose to say that it's horrifying. Okay now let's move to the other

  • side of the board and look at some more phrases that we have, “very good”. Okay so the

  • only thing that I can think about when I read this pair of my friend Josh okay, he's got

  • amazing math skills like you take any problem to him and he would solve it and I always

  • tell him that, your math skills are outstanding’, okay? Which means that they are very good.

  • So you can useoutstandingormind-blowing”. So you could use outstanding or mind-blowing

  • for something which is so good, okay? Now the next one isvery lucky”. Now as I

  • was telling you about my friend Josh who's got great math skills, I am very lucky to

  • have him as a friend because whenever I have a problem I run to him, okay? So very lucky

  • I could say that, ‘I'm fortunate to have a friend like Josh’, which means I'm very

  • lucky. Sofortunateokay now the next one isvery brave”. What kind of a person

  • are you, brave or not brave? Okay if you are a brave person you could say that I don't

  • have any fear and who is such a person? So a person who does not have fear is called

  • fearlessand that's the word you can use to replace very brave. Are you a fearless

  • person? Let me know in the comments. Okay nowvery respected”. Okay this is used

  • for an institution or an organization which is respected by everyone around the world.

  • Which university can you think of which is highly respected? Well to my mind the first

  • one is Harvard University. If somebody gets admission in Harvard University, it's just

  • amazing, right? And you would possibly tell them in response, ‘hey you got admission

  • in Harvard, that's the most prestigious university in the world’. You got me right, so if you

  • want to replacevery respectedyou will sayprestigiouswhich means very respected

  • or recognized. Prestigious. Okay so this is the word for you prestigious. The next one

  • isvery sincere”. Okay now if you compliment your friend that wow you got admission in

  • the most prestigious university he would want to thank you okay and he might saymy heartfelt

  • thanks to you’, which means I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, okay? These

  • are called sincere thanks or honest and truthful thanks. So very sincere can be translated

  • intoheartfelt”, okay? Which means from the bottom of my heart. So if someone has

  • helped you, you could say that my heartfelt thanks to you for helping me. Okay so if you

  • think that all that I'm saying is just so correct and so spot-on, so accurate then you

  • would tell me Michelle you're saying the exact thing that's the word you use to replace very

  • with accurate. So if something is so correct so accurate you say that it’s “exact

  • okay? Exact. Now if you want to impress your girl by giving her a compliment and that too

  • by using good vocabulary, instead of telling her tomorrow that you look beautiful or you

  • look very beautiful you could tell heryou look gorgeous today’, okay? That's another

  • word that you can use in place ofvery beautifuland we will end this lesson on

  • an important note and that note is how do we replace the word very with important? So

  • anything which is extremely important in English is also known asvital”, okay? V-i-t-a-l

  • vital. But remember we don't start the word with a ‘Y’ but we started with a ‘V’.

  • So vital meets something very important. Can you think of something very important? Well

  • I can think of paying attention during driving, isn't it important? So you'll say thatit's

  • vital to pay attention while driving’. Whoa! Here we are, you've already kickedvery

  • out of your vocabulary, congratulations! So in this lesson today you have finally learned

  • how to replace the wordverywith somevery’… no, extremely useful words in

  • English. So thank you so much for watching this lesson with me, I'll see you guys soon

  • in another lesson till then you keep smiling and enjoy your time, bye-bye.

Very crowded, very beautiful, very lovely, very rainy, and very amazinghow many times
