-------------------------------------------------------------
In this English speaking lesson, you will learn some alternatives to use instead of I like/ I don't like!
This lesson is divided into 3 levels:
Intro 00:00
Beginner level 01:38
Intermediate level 03:53
Advanced level 07:58
Is it wrong to say "I like..." all the time? No. Does it show you have limited vocabulary? Yes! Therefore, learning different ways to say "I like / I don't like..." will increase your vocabulary and help you sound more confident in English.

[@szuzuha]

I feel like in everyday “lazy” English most people would look at you funny if you said “I’m keen on” or “I take a great liking to”. There’s nothing wrong with saying “ I like” or “I’m into” and is usually what most native English speakers would say.

[@kelseyhebert2831]

This is true. It wouldn’t sound natural to use those words others than very specific instances. I’ve never used I have a hatred for or aversion for.

[@isaakiloureiro]

Yes, that sounds weird. And hatred or aversion seems very rude. Besides, he pronounces “listening” like “lessening” or something like that.

[@fieuline2536]

Only extremely old or extremely pretentious people *ever* say “I’m keen on s.”

[@ArgentumTeraType]

👍Exactly what I thought when I watched this video.language,the simple the better😂

[@shishinonaito]

These "stop using the everyday expressions native speakers use all the time" videos are really weird. Why don't they say something like "expand your vocabulary with by learning these other expressions, but those everyday expressions you already know are 100% valid, so keep using them as much as you want because those are what natives use all the time as well"? No, they have to tell you "STOP USING THESE EXPRESSIONS ALTOGETHER". I don't get the logic behind this.

[@nataterraturzelle8584]

Note from a native English speaker: You can use the verb "enjoy" to say "like". "I enjoy long walks on the beach." "I enjoy watching POC English videos."

[@viaumo]

That's was my first thought, though i'm not a native speaker

[@Metaphyical0samak]

I enjoy cheesecake

[@GoatZilla]

U can also not say any of that at all. I fly quadcopters. Boom, done.

[@ArtemHahauz-nm7bk]

Definitely a native.😊

[@Miblive]

You can also use the verb on its root form, "I like to cook". He made it sounds like you can only use the verb+ing form.

The way of your teaching is so impressive. I love it.

[@ralphmazur7003]

Hi all. Here is what I think about this. I am a native speaker of English at the C2 level. I also hold a Masters in Linguistics, and several other certificates. Don't try to use vocabulary that is too advanced in everyday speech. Keep it simple. It is ok to say that you like/dislike something, etc. The purpose of language is communication, to understand and to be understood - to convey your ideas or thoughts. I have never in my life 'had an aversion' to anything. I simply like or dislike it. Be well.

[@hombiebearcat]

However, in a test such as the IELTS, it's good to show variety of vocabulary to get a higher band

[@marciacastro605]

Do you like teach me. I am looking english teacher. Please let me Know.

[@user-kg5pu4nn6x]

To excel in a foreign language (for non-native speakers), the first and foremost thing is to expand their vocabulary.

[@phamthuhuong1369]

Again I must say that you are among the greatest teachers. I appreciate all your lessons!

I was taught English by some American teachers when they were living in Vietnam during the vietnam war. However my English at that time was.not enough for me to communicate with foreigners. After graduating from Coastal Community College I have been teaching it over 40 years so far. I am really into your English videos on youtube that make my English better. Thanks a milion for your lessons. I have a great liking for them. After I had your first video, I took an instant liking to it. Many thanks again.

Im glad that there’s such great videos for people learning English out there. I’m actually a native English speaker and am trying to learn Chinese but somehow the algo must’ve confused me for a native Chinese speaker(hopefully I’ll seem like that in due time 😮‍💨🧐). Just some bonus structures for anyone interested; they achieve basically the same thing as those in the vid, but are nice alternatives: I find [something] (to be) [adjective]: Eg, “I find economics to be exceptionally intriguing, and I enjoy modeling growth with differential equations” I consider [something] (to be) [adjective]: Eg, “I consider gardening to be challenging, but rewarding” I hold a certain [feeling] towards [something]: Eg, “I hold a certain distaste for lazy geniuses. It is as though they have received a gift they would benefit greatly from, but don’t care to take full advantage of it.”

[@jackthatistheripper]

Why do I or anyone else has to care what I say? *Like,* if you want to say what you do and don't like you just say it with lots of "likes" or just use enumeration after first "I like/I don't like" and everybody will get that. Why do you have to struggle and put up phrases like "I'm keen", "I'm fond of", "I'm crazy about", "I abhor this/that", "I hate this" in you head when you have simple and convenient "I like"? And judging someone's level of English by the use of vocabulary is ridiculous for me.

[@thecoolnewsguy]

Exactly what I wanted to say. Also not all people are native speakers so why would I use such complicated statements? I like is just simple and straightforward
