  • guys, I'm Nisha.

  • Welcome to today's lesson.

  • I know someone who speaks English, yet sometimes uses the same set of words and phrases repeatedly in conversation.

  • You know the same words again and again, not knowing how to use alternative, different types of words when talking on also communicating your thoughts and ideas in writing.

  • Do you want to expand your vocabulary, get better at speaking fluent English and sound more like a native English speaker?

  • Well, then, today's lesson is precisely for you.

  • So I've put together a list off everyday words and expressions that eye on other British natives because frequently used in daily conversation.

  • So today I will teach you what they are so that you two can start using them and create an impression with your effortless English speaking skills, especially around native English speakers.

  • So come on, let's get started.

  • So the 1st 1 on the list is I better.

  • I'm better is another way to simply say I should.

  • So if you feel it's time that you should do or say something, then instead of saying I should try saying I better, I better get some rest before I take the early morning flight I better tell her the truth.

  • She's really upset with me.

  • So see, this is a simple way to replace, saying I should with I better on do use it next we have What's his face?

  • What's her face?

  • Don't look at me like that.

  • This is a very common thing that rich people do say it's an informal slang sentence filler to replace the, uh, home when you're trying to remember someone's name in a conversation and you just can't remember.

  • So we'll have a look at this conversation.

  • You know, person one says, Oh, you know, I bumped into your friend in town today on person to says, Oh, you did.

  • Who?

  • Which friend did you bump into?

  • I've been posting once is um, you know, I compliment my name.

  • What's her name?

  • Oh yeah, Tina.

  • Tina.

  • Yeah, Tina, See so many Earl and arms in that sentence, right?

  • But now let's start.

  • Let's use this expression instead.

  • What's her face?

  • What's space in this conversation?

  • So person to says, Oh, you did.

  • Who?

  • Which friend did you meet in person?

  • One says.

  • I met What's her face?

  • Tina.

  • Yeah, I'ma, Tina, see automatically that that gap that Earl Arm reduces and you don't have to use that in your speech.

  • Could just be a lot more fluent.

  • If it's a guy's name you're trying to remember, you would say, What's his face?

  • Just replace what's her face with What's his face.

  • So right next we have the expression.

  • I couldn't care less.

  • I couldn't kill us.

  • I'm sure you must be ableto work out the meaning of this phrase, right?

  • If someone or a particular topic of discussion doesn't matter to you and you don't really care about it, then the next time somebody asks you for your opinion on that person or topic.

  • Then instead of saying you know I don't care, use the phrase I couldn't care less as this reply phrase.

  • Here's some example sentences using.

  • I couldn't tell us your ex boyfriend was at the party with his new girlfriend.

  • Did that bother you on Europe?

  • Liken be No, I've moved on and to be honest, I couldn't careless.

  • I'm gonna do what I feel is right.

  • I couldn't care less what people think of my decision.

  • Seems simple way off saying that you don't really care, but in a better way, saying I couldn't catch us.

  • Next we have.

  • Don't worry about it.

  • No worries and no problem.

  • These are all informal ways to simply say it's okay.

  • See three different ways to say it's okay.

  • We use the words.

  • It's okay so much in daily conversation.

  • But why make our English speaking skills so boring?

  • By repeatedly replying, it's okay in situations instead off saying it's okay, Try saying no worries.

  • Sorry I had to cancel our meeting yesterday.

  • I was feeling really unwell On your reply can be simply no worries.

  • I'm so sorry.

  • I completely forgot to call you.

  • What can you say?

  • You can just say no problem.

  • Hey, thanks for waiting for me and Europe liken be Don't worry about it.

  • Do you use these phrases to avoid saying the boring?

  • It's okay.

  • As a standard reply, These 33 phrases can also be used to say you're welcome.

  • Thank you for the lift to work this morning I was really running late.

  • No worries.

  • Thanks for all your help today.

  • I really appreciate it.

  • Don't worry about it or reply with a simple It's not a problem.

  • Next we have could have, should have would have simply short for Could Have, Should Have on would have.

  • As you may have realized, natives have the habit of shortening words when talking.

  • Why take the extra effort to say all the entire words when the meaning of what you're saying remains the same on is easily understood when the words are shortened?

  • So why say, I could have gone when you can quickly say I could have see?

  • It's quick.

  • Here are some examples I would have believed you, but then you burst out laughing.

  • So instead of saying I would have believed you just quickly, just say I would have believed you.

  • But then you burst out laughing.

  • We should have informed them that the meeting's postponed.

  • Now the shortened use off could have, would have and should have in these sentences is precisely how natives would say it.

  • And you should try to do the same next time you're in a conversation with someone.

  • Next we have fair enough, huh?

  • What do you think this phrase means?

  • Fair enough.

  • This is an informal phrase used to express that what someone has said to you is acceptable.

  • Oh, understandable.

  • So you could say Fair enough.

  • I admit the presentation needs a few changes.

  • Thanks for your feedback.

  • So by saying fair enough in this sentence, you're acknowledging that they feel that your presentation needs a few changes.

  • You know, you could make it better.

  • So just acknowledging them on giving them thanks for their feedback by just saying, Fair enough.

  • I agree.

  • He's quite an expert at the game, which is why he mostly wins on.

  • That's fair enough.

  • So if someone's really good at a game, you know, and you agree that, you know, it's it's justified that they win every time.

  • So then you could just say it's fair enough.

  • It's understandable that they win every time because it's such a pro at the game.

  • Next we have Can't make it.

  • It's an informal way to say you can't attend or you can go somewhere.

  • Hey, I'm sorry.

  • I can't make it to your party tonight.

  • I've got an important exam in the morning on.

  • I still need to finish revising for it.

  • And as we learned early on the video, your reply could simply be That's a shame, but fair enough.

  • Next we have my bad, my bad.

  • This is an informal phrase which is the equivalent to saying, Sorry, it's my mistake, or I admit it's my fault.

  • The word is my bad.

  • It's the word bad is a synonym for a mistake.

  • Now there's nothing wrong with saying Sorry.

  • It's my mistake, or it's my fault every time you make a mistake.

  • But then young Minelli millennials would rather sound hip as they mingle and communicate, wouldn't they?

  • So saying, My bad, a short casual and it works.

  • So next time it's a silly mistake you've made, which won't have a severe consequence.

  • Instead of saying, you know, I'm so sorry.

  • I'm sorry.

  • It was my mistake.

  • Just say my bad.

  • Ah, you know, you did mention it, but I think I still bought the wrong bob My bad.

  • The next word for the day is a rip off to get ripped off.

  • A report is something that is overpriced, something that costs more than it's worth.

  • For example, you know, designer label clothes, a stylist and chic as they may appear to be.

  • But I feel they're a total rip off, totally overpriced.

  • Well, that's just my opinion.

  • $350 for those shoes.

  • I'm not buying that.

  • That's a complete rip off.

  • All the stalls in the market was selling rip off Musashi, Louis Vuitton and Chanel merchandise, meaning totally fake products at rip off prices.

  • So do be careful.

  • The next time you want to purchase something costing a lot of money on ensure that the item is authentic to save yourself from being ripped off.

  • Next we have on my list the words I'm afraid you must be thinking I'm afraid means to be scared, right?

  • You know, the tickets are sold out, so they politely say, I'm afraid the tickets for the concert are sold out.

  • Also, if you disagree with someone and think they're wrong installed bluntly saying you're wrong politely say I'm afraid I disagree with you.

  • Someone may not like it, but it softens the tone off, giving negative or bad news.

  • Next up, we have to grab something.

  • The English use this phrase which means to get something usually used for food and beverages.
