Try it out! Go from Standard to Casual English (15 Common Sentences)
Speak how most people actually speak! Standard English is important and essential for communication, but in relaxed everyday situations, casual English is incredibly common. Instead of “I don’t understand,” you might hear “I don’t get it .” Instead of “Let’s meet tomorrow,” you might hear “Let’s get together tomorrow.” These are just two examples of casual English expressions. In this lesson, I teach 15 standard English sentences and their casual English equivalents. Other casual expressions in this lesson include: “He’s pissed off,” “I’m beat,” “It’s on me,” “No worries,” “Check this out,” “Try it out,” “I’ll get in touch with you,” and more! Listen and repeat the sentences in the video, do the quiz on EngVid, use the sentences in the comments, and come back in a few days to refresh your knowledge.

Thank you Alex , hello from Egypt
I am so proud that I reached a level where I watch your videos and I actually know everything you wanna speak about without watching the video. I remember watching you Alex when my english level was not strong and I was struggling to understand and pushing myself to learn English. I am so grateful. Yet I know these phrases but I still enjoy watching these videos that remind me of the good old days and make me even prouder of myself. Keep the good work up Alex!
Please, Can you share us how to improve your English step by step ??
@@kaamil2991I my experience I could say that the secret is to practice more and more but WITH CONTEXT, I listen to audio books here in KZhead or short stories about daily life. It's easier to improve our vocabulary like that instead of reading lists or reading book of topic that which we're not interested. You can also use Ai(Artificial inteligente), ask it to write sentences with specific words or phrases (like in the video) in different grammar times and subjects and you'll understand/remember easily each one of them.
Amazing teacher, awesome explanations, much greeting for you teacher Alex from Venezuela.
When I listen to Alex- I feel myself so clever in English, because of his clear pronunciation😂
Thank you so much. Your lessons are great and useful .you speak clearly and nice

Alex, your passion for teaching is truly inspiring! Your dedication to fostering a love for English has made a lasting impact on all of us. Thank you for being an amazing educator!.
My pleasure! Thank you.
You are the best teacher Alex I think I will practice.❤
I would *very much* like to see more videos that would teach us how to speak *correct standard English* rather than the popularly-spoken "casual common English."
Alex Sir you are an awesome educator

Oh cool! I'm learning English with my own music. It's easier to remember that way.

Glad you enjoy it! 🙂
I like your classes . I have a question .How I use this word in regulars phrases? thank you.
Your teaching style adds another level. I am Indian, I also run a youtube channel
Thanks Alex, these phrases are really useful. But I have a question; the third form of the verb "get" is "gotten". So why we say I've got it rather than I've gotten it?
Hello teacher Alex! Very interesting lesson! May ask you a question? Can I say: Are we going to get together tonight? Does it sound natural and casual? Thank you in advance
Good evening whatever time zone you are in right now! Could you please sir make a video on the phrase " Gone are the days of....."? I want to know about the grammar of this phrase . The sentence has started with " Gone" Which is an adjective and we can't start a sentence with an adjective. Could you please explain it in detail? Please
I like it
I've got it! Can I tag along? 🎉🎉🎉
Sir make more videos on "Casual English" BTW its awesome !!! Love from Pakistan
Good idea! 👍
Hi teacher... Could we use casual English with management such as boss or people who have higher levels than us?
It depends on your relationship with your boss and how friendly you are with them.
Set play speed to 1.25 not to fall asleep! Thanks! )))
Just like that😂😂
Is it okay use the casual if you written an email?
❤❤❤
👍 subscribing!
Welcome aboard!
❤❤❤❤❤
i'm just having a hard time speaking to people i'm just having a hard speaking up but i really take my time to talk
I got this
- Can I come? - I think you can, as you have a couple of legs and know how to walk...
🎉😊
Coool
It is the way how they should learn english in schools.
Hello sir how are you doing
can I tag along 🎉
let's get together
is " to foot the bill" common?
Yeah, it’s understandable to native English speakers. I don’t use it often, but I wouldn’t think it sounds “old” or “weird” if someone used it. :)
I got it!!!!!!! (laughs)
Fantastic! 😅
