How To Say Common English Expressions! | 💬 Small Talk PART 1

In this lesson, I'll show you how to say 4 really common English expressions used by native English speakers use all the time!
This lesson will teach you how to say 4 really common English expressions naturally, like a native speaker. You'll practise connected speech, reductions and contractions to help you improve your pronunciation and sound more natural when you speak. This is REAL English pronunciation.

NOTE: My video lessons are created to help English learners to improve their pronunciation and speaking skills. Please note that the pronunciation of some of these words and expressions differs between English accents. I speak with an Australian English accent 🙂

[@hannukahoney9521]

Dear Emma, I am originally from Poland and have been in UK for the last 15 years... I didn't speak English at all when I came here for the first time and have found myself struggled a lot to get my confidence with speaking. I am still much better with texting rather than speaking or even understanding( specially over the phone😦). I guess I have learnt mostly through years of employment within different environments...but still try to get better. So I would like to thank you for your effort and all those topics you are talking about. These lessons are brilliant and so useful! Greetings from Nottinghamshire :)

[@miso2031]

Hi Ema! I'm a non-native speaker. I love all your videos. They help me a lot in my English. Keep up the good work! Oh yeah..I also love your accent. 😊

[@marcob4630]

What a nice and useful lesson! Easy going is the best way of teaching spoken English. The main difficulty for us foreigners, above all for Italians and Germans (!) who pronounce clearly all words, is to understand the way native speakers are shortening and contracting words and expressions, and not enough, moreover also quite lazy in pronounciation. John Gray, an American friend of mine (from L.A. - a retired literature professor at U.C.L.A ) - said to me that native spoken common-trivial English is the best way of barbarizing a language (!) This said, without intention of being offensive. What makes us often crazy, is that after years of useless efforts, we hardly can understand a modern English fast spoken movie or worse, a comedy. All is contracted, minced and chewed so fastly that we need subtitles. In a short: common spoken modern English seems to me a sort of a dialect or an idiom, anyway far different from the written form! However thanks a lot Emma: it's surely not your fault for this - for us - so strange custom.

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

Hi Marco, thanks for your detailed comment! It's really interesting to hear your perspective. It seems like an awful joke 😣... My students spend years developing their English skills to a point where they feel confident enough to step into an English conversation with native English speakers, only to realise that we *tear apart* many of the rules they studied so diligently. It's like SPOKEN English is another language to learn on top of written English!!

[@kingdomofgeorgia1751]

Thank you so much. I took several English as a Second Language courses in the US. Unfortunately, many ESL instructors are Eastern Indians. I have no problems with them, but American community colleges are replete with Indian teachers. They have accent, and how they can teach me this sort of things? I have been in the US for 30 years, and sometimes I don't understand what people say. They speak so fast that I am having difficulties to pick up a word. Now, I am learning from you. You have so much passion that makes me smile.
