Improve your Vocabulary: Stop saying VERY!
Using the same word again and again is boring, which is why native English speakers use a wide variety of vocabulary to express their thoughts and feelings. In this vocabulary lesson, I will teach you how to express yourself more effectively by replacing the word "very" with more precise and interesting adjectives. For example, you can replace "very cold" with "freezing". This illustrates your point more precisely. You will sound more natural and intelligent. Using these adjectives on the speaking section of IELTS and TOEFL exams will impress your examiner and improve your score. Watch the video to discover many more examples of this kind of vocabulary substitution. Variety is the spice of life!

TRANSCRIPT
"Getting from here to there, it's been a long while." Oh, hi. My time is finally here. James from engVid. I can't believe this, this is like the Mirror Universe. If you watch Star Trek, you'll understand; if not, go watch Mirror Universe with Star Trek. I have two, look at them, I have two Mr. Es. In the first one Mr. E is hot, and the first one Mr. E is cold. Let's go to the board.
E, what's up? "It's very hot. 35 degrees centigrade." You're right. I see you're wearing your Bermuda shorts. And the second E is saying he's very cold: "It's minus 30 degrees centigrade." Ow, this isn't good. I feel for you. But don't you think there are better ways to say it's very hot or it's very cold? I think so, and in today's lesson I'm going to teach some of you... Not some of you. I'm going to teach all of you how to get rid of the word "very" to describe everything, and use other words which give more information, which will make you sound more like a native speaker and make your writing phenomenal. Oh, "phenomenal"? That's a word for "very good". Are you ready? Let's go to the board.
So, today's lesson is on "very". "Very" is a very good word, that's why we use it, but when you're writing, to hear somebody say: "Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very" is what we call monotonous, it means "mono" as one, "tonous", one tone, one sound - very boring. So let's change that from you being... You know, using "very" because I teach and I notice a lot of students saying things, like: "Teacher, today it's very cold outside." I'm like: -"Yeah, it is." -"And I'm very tired and very hungry." I'm like: "Okay, okay." It's like being punched in the face again and again, and I just want to say: "Stop with the 'very'. Use a different word." But it's not fair because "very" is a very good word-there, I did it again-we just need to find other words to make your language sound richer to improve it so you sound more like a native English speaker, and to make it more interesting for you because it will express more of who you are and your ideas in a better way. It makes you unique. You ready? Let's go to the board.
You'll notice I put "very" in red because this is something we don't want to do, we don't want to keep saying: "very". We want to change that up. And I'm going to give you a list of words that people or students usually say when they say "very" that I've heard many, many times. And maybe you've done this. And today I'm going to give you singular words to use instead. I'll explain them, just in case they're difficult.
Let's start with the first one. People say: "Very rude", instead of saying that, you can say: "vulgar". "Vulgar" means very rude, and if somebody says to me: "Your language is vulgar", I'll probably stop talking because it means it's not right, it's inappropriate, it's very bad. Vulgar. "I don't like your vulgar tone", your rude tone. It's strong. "Very short", another word we say is "brief", which means small. We had a very brief... We had a very brief conversation, a very short conversation. Cool?
"Boring". When you say: "Class was very boring today", you can say: "dull". "Dull" means very boring. It also means... See? Here's a bonus when you use these words, stupid. If you say someone is dull, you can say they're very boring, or dull meaning they're stupid. Don't use it like that too often; people don't like being called stupid. And if you say: "He's rather dull, isn't he?" I have to listen for context to mean stupid or boring. Next one, everybody's favourite: "Very good". "Teacher, the food is very good. The lesson is very good. I like this, it's very good." Why don't we change that to the word "superb"? Look carefully at the word "superb", you have the word "super" written inside it. "Super" means what? Above average, excellent, or superb, very good. "The food was superb." People don't usually use this word, so if you tell me when I cook for you that it's superb, I'm telling you right now I will take that as such an amazing compliment. Gentlemen, if you tell a woman she looks superb, she'll be like: "Thank you. Really?" Because no one says it. All right? […]

Never say “the sun is too hot today”. Instead, say “Our star is emitting molecular friction which is causing my temperature regulation system to falter”.
Love it “very” “much” (replace with) “infinitely”!

James is an superb instructor... One of the best on KZhead.
I feel so lucky to have you as my best teacher ever.
"Change your vocabulary, change your brain, change your life" man...that phrase was SUPERB.
I read the comment for the first time at the exact moment he speaks. Coincidentally
I do not know why the people tend to learn beautiful vocabulary regardless of its complication level. Language is a source of communication and the best communication is the one in which both of the partners completely understand each other (and that is very important in some conditions) so why do you learn complicated vocabulary? It is just because you want to show off or what?
@@But_Whyyyy in my case it's very important to learn because I have a KZhead channel where I upload music transcriptions and I want to begin to upload video tutorials speaking...and I'm from Argentina. So, my native language is spanish. I need to enrich my vocabulary so I can express myself in a better way. And I always loved to read and learn new words. It's not to pretend. I love the "color" or the words.
@@Guitareal I think learning alternative for "very" is not learning new vocabulary
@@But_Whyyyy you think "exhausted", "superb", "freezing", "phenomenal" aren't vocabulary? They aren't useful words? Being repetitve it's boring. Especially for the listener. Synonyms for expressions used so often are a very powerful tool. If you don't like to learn different words, man, it's ok then. I don't liked the words "scorching" and "scolding", I don't think I'm going to use them, but it's good for me to know them.
"stop saying very" Gordon Ramsay: "It's fucking raw"
I find the constant use of the word LIKE, as most annoying.
That episode was brilliant. Over the years, I am appalled by the number of short order cooks turned "chef" that really are... burnouts. They ought to do something else, but just never found a spark in life to launch from.
@@gracepientok4134 like, the word "like" is like commonly used as like... fillers by people, right... when they basically can't like, easily come up with uhm... words to say when they're like... you know, mental blocked or something like, uh huh... nervous when uhm... speaking. So.... like, I find it uhm... kind of... annoying sometimes too, you know uhm..., but some people like, just can't refrain from uhm... using, I mean... these fillers, because err... perhaps, they are basically... not yet like, comfortable, you know... from uhm speaking english spontaneously, right? like this reply that uhm... looks like the person typing this ahh...has stroke. *help me*

But you're missing the context behind each word on the right. Without that, your statements are giving superfluous meaning that won't fit most contexts.

Very interesting. Politicians often use very and very very. Our English teacher used to complain when we used the word nice.
In the modern days “very” hungry doesn’t exist anymore. It’s all about the hungry “as fuck”.

The lecture was very intriguing, rather than the others which are dull. The teacher is very superb and deserves some flowers
I just clicked this video out of curiosity, and I'm amazed at the quality of this lecture. I always suffer from a lack of vocabulary, so this is actually the perfect lecture I needed. I try not to use 'very' all the time, but I just end up using quite, so, really, absolutely, extremely, etc., replacing degree adverb with another degree adverb.😂😂😂 Thank you for this sophisticated lecture! I would definitely love to watch some videos on this channel from time to time to improve my English.
He did what my English teacher could have never done
It's true - your teacher failed
true
Yes he is superb in teaching.
My teacher was actually bussin but yeah this is beyond his comprehension or maybe it would've been too difficult for us because some couldn't even pronounce a sentence.
Real reason is at that time we were not interested to learn or to hear something related to studies
Mr. E: "It's very cold!" Me, a Siberian: "Yes, it's indeed breezy"
Woah. That's cool. What's it like to live in a Siberia?
@@Pulang_Diwa right id be Jubilant to find out too🐼
@@Pulang_Diwa it is a place of contrast, so to say. Temperature-wise it's slightly out of those in the video. During winters, mainly the second half of December and up to March it's quite cold, average usually being -35C, and during summers it usually stays close to +30. Culture-wise it's quite interesting. Siberia used to be a khanate way back in history, but also there were native tribes even before the rise of Mongolian Empire. Additionally, in 19th century a lot of Russian Decabrists were sentenced to be sent in Siberia for their attempts at revolution, and who mostly were Russian aristocracy, writers and poets. And there is of course a lot of Soviet remnants left, such as old city buildings and monuments. And, of course, unlike Western Russia, Siberia is not as densly populated, and has a lot of untouched wildreness, mainly taiga forests, and mountains, such as in Altai region. All-in-all, this is a nice place, yet pretty specific
Isn't Breezy more like "Very Windy"?
@@pug-aloentertainment3801 oh that's cool, I remember reading the karamazov brothers, by dostoevsky, and he wrote something about the criminals going to siberia too! Didn't take it seriously at the time but well, seems like it was true
I'm very jubilant for watching this amazing lesson. I'm really appreciate you for this brief and superb voc..I don't feel any dull. I'm destitute man but I decided to make self study at my home by watching videos on KZhead. One day I'll become a rapid speaker. I'm so exhausted learning English but I'm ravenous to learn!!🤔.
I needed you 30 years ago. Great teacher!
This dude doesn’t just have a superb way of teaching but is also an extremely charismatic lad and I’m hooked

Old me:”It is very hot out today” New me:”Yo it’s hot as fuh”
Honeslty the fuh really adds meaning to your word , its so fkn cool
I mean, the word "fuck" can be used in e *very* sentence....
Yeah, fuh actually sounds cool
😂😂😂
LOL🤣
your imitation for every situation is the best! i love it
I found this channel randomly and have just one word to say: Superb. Brazil here 🇧🇷
Ok. People: "Here you go" Me: "Thank you quite much"
U can say appreciated
I'd like to aks you not to say "very"! Thanks!!
@@ALTeRedEgO67 very
Much appreciated might also work
'Thank you pretty much'
This was ver- I mean exquisite learning advice.
what is "exquisite" means? i've never heard that before.
@@gibranvezoresa8235 it means "very delicious" i guess
@@gibranvezoresa8235 it means high quality
What a superb usage of vocabulary. It makes you sound like a wealthy man.
@@grantwiniarczyk2449 indubitably.
thanks for the free teaching and the positive energy you've given through to your teaching ty.
I am delighted to have found this channel and the exceptional dialect amongst everyone in the comments. This is my new haven.
Imagine if all teachers were this easy to understand and concise.
Lol! I'll be smarter now!
Yes!!
Yes he’s a very…. He’s a Superb teacher
lol I literally saved this for when I do my next essay or summary’s
That'd be very unbelievable.
I wish I had an English teacher in my school like you..
I'm grateful there is yt for people like us
I would have got straight A’s in secondary school 😅
Faltou o would ñ?
Yes
“I WISH I “ HAD A ENGLISH You don’t need the word “IF” English is a not a language it’s. ( synthetic ). And it’s easy because each word walks you step by step to complete the sentence. If you don’t understand a sentence just stop 🛑. And read it again slowly 1....word....at.... a....time.
I will bring this to my conversation group to make them jubilant about the new words and help their vocabulary to be richer.
I love the way you teach. It’s definitely not dull. Thank you
if only all english teachers were like this dude.
I tend to find my English teachers are the best
Tbh you are soo right
Same my English teachers are always awful and it's led me to find a deep hatred for an otherwise interesting and important subject.
Wish I would’ve had an english teacher like him. He‘s superb .
Indeed. He is very good.
He's very superb
His teaching is very scorching.
Why did it take 3 years to hit everyone’s recommended?
He is very not bad
THANK YOU FOR THE PRECIOUS 20 MINUTES!❤
Brilliant, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤟🏾

James! I can watch you over and over! You are a superb teacher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the true meaning of a lesson, no screaming, y'know, everyone focusing, because it's actually interesting.
very interesting
I am from Germany, the lesseaons there are boring and he speaks clearly obviously better than my teacher but its fun to listen him.(sry for my bad english)
@@nicklask3446 cool. (I'm sorry for my English, I could've gotten better by getting more English lessons, I'm on India and I don't know most words, please forgive me for my spelling mistakes and I won't do it again, please, forgive me, for it was my biggest mistake in my whole life,)
It is ok to use really and so like "Its so hot" or "Its really hot"
@@antberus9958 I mean, yeah. But the point of the video is that you learn better words to express that it's really hot.
James: don't use very! Mom: are you hungry son? Me: yes, I'm famished.
Mom: what have you done with my child?
Lmao this one got me
HAHAHAHAHA
As a native English speaker, we might say “I’m starving”
Or as we politely say in Jersey “I’m fckin dying hea!”
The best teacher that I've ever found
The session was phenomenal. It has helped invest on my vocabulary as well as eradicate "very" in my day to day speech conversation.
Job Interviewer: So congratulations, you get the job. Me: Thank you much
Haha I actually like the way that sounds better though!!! Sounds clever and confident for some reason lol
@@thecoolprettygirlful totally, you don't need to exaggerate if you know what you're saying.
But, can I say "Thank you so much"?
@@bernard2686 or just "appreciate it" maybe
@@bernard2686 Yes. Simple is best though. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. THANKS SINCERELY. HUMBLE THANKS etc
