howdy my turkish friend?
It was just the start of the video and as usual I was scrolling down through the comments and I read your comment. And I didn't watch the video anymore cause I already knew what was Lucy gonna tell in the video.......So, Thank u so much😘
I think a nice alternative when greeting someone you know is simply "How nice to see you".
It is nice to be taught English in the language of English because where I'm from we get taught English in our native language. Thank you, Lucy.
Amen 🙏 English is the best of the world
Thank you Lucy
I’m a Native American-English speaker and I ove these. We get in such a rut and start to just automatically have things fly out of our mouths without thinking. I found your videos today and I love how it breaks down that automatic response to give a more thoughtfully worded conversation.
Sitting here at the other end of Europe, listening to this beatuiful voice. Sometimes words goes trought my ears, sometimes not. Thank you for bettering my engliish.
As a physician in a small town, I learned to say “Good to see you!” Otherwise I ended up hearing about kidney stones and ear infections at the grocery store.
I do NOT blame you!
😂 😂 😂
😄😄😄
Great!!😉😁
So true! That's why I usually use the greeting " Hello...It's so nice to see you".... I was a nurse for 30 years so I learned my lesson too!
I'm a Brazilian man. I didn't know this channel. And I have learned a lot. Thanks a million.
Quite true. I'm a Kenyan teacher, recently retired after teaching English language in a primary school for about 30yrs. We hear, speak, read and finally write. I enjoy your lessons quite a bit.
I am a native English speaker, but I still love to watch these videos! They make me think about my own personal use of the language. Love it!
Hello
What’s the crack?
Wow, nice.
Hello John, can we start talk
@@shukriahassan3147 can we talk?
I like that you recognize the person you are speaking to. I try to do that every day I care for my patients. It's respectful, but more importantly, the 51% of my 23&Me report that told me my ancestors are from greater London, and my being a puritanical Yankee, it seems to resonate with me. Keep calm and Carry on! Love your videos.
I’ve enjoyed listening to you with your beautiful face😍
I'm a native speaker of American English, and I REALLY like watching and listening to Lucy describe and define various expressions.
What I love about your approach is the suggested situations and answers to the current phrase/question, it's amazing. Thank you!
You are an extremely-powerful trainer-and-connoisseur of spoken English. You rank, easily, among the world's top-five trainers!
Wtf…
I have been using number 13 for 20 years with all my students. It blends professional, personal and private aspects of life. "How's life?" Is great for establishing further communication. Great videos!!!
😂😂😂😂
@@godsblessings953
I love you babie
"How's life?" I always reply "Short"
@@Kankae23 Life's a b***, and then you die!
wonderful - it's so nice to hear your English and joy while learning - I'll hope to improve my English pronounciation with your help ❤
Now I’m going to memorize the whole lot. Thanks Lucy! 🤗
Good day. I enjoy watching your content as a native speaker of English - a realm which has taught me to recognize the value of maintaining the mindset of a beginner. Thanks for doing what you do! ☺️
Just answer the question. Lol
English is not my mother tongue,however,I have made much progress with these videos
I now understand why we had reading groups in elementary school! Thank you Lucy for explaining why reading and hearing a word at the same time is so important!
ha clever man, well said
It's a pity that it's difficult to have this condition in China

I’m confident to learn more from you miss 🤴Lucy, God will retain you for entire plethora of world to learn from you it’s not easy to know non-native language but you’re making it much easier for us beautiful queen 👸.
The best communication is honest and from the heart. Choose kind words that matter to you and that edifies the hearer.
That was an impeccable lesson for today. Thank you for your work. I wish you grandiose luck to the next videos.
Thank you, Lucy. Very useful and helpful. Your comments on the nuances of each of those phrases make it even more informative. You are a brilliant teacher.
Nice one , actually I’m really depressed right now, lost a coworker. very devastating ,Needed someone to talk to
Yes I learned a new thing from her today
NEW ONTCED ? :) very.. words matter ! Imp or tant
She's brilliant and she's beautiful.❤
Stumbled upon your video and decided to give it a listen. And was absolutely floored when you talked about the reading/listening process with an audio book and the written counterpart. I’ve been doing this for years. And when shared people think I am crazy. But I retained more info as well as growing my vocabulary. So glad to know that you recommended this process!!
Thank you so much Lucy, I have been having a whale of a time with this. This is incredible and highly classified information. Thanks
"Are you well?" Love it. Glad to have found your KZhead. I love all the lessons
Me too find it super helpful
The expression on your face when saying how are you is BRILLIANT. Love it 😀 😍
Hello my name is Anthony Patrick Antonio hey
I really like to see Lucy's performance. Lucy is also good looking. The way she talks and pronuns every single word is really nice. Good luck Lucy!🎉
I love your advice about reading and listening together. I am an American, who writes fictional HR novels in England's 17th and 18th centuries. I read only British historical novelists, whilst listening to the book on audible. It has genuinely helped me to think in British English. When I read anything, I interpret it with a British accent, it is lovely. I still sound like a Southern Texas American hick. Alas, I have really tried for years to lose it, really, I have. But it appears there is something seriously wrong with my brain-to-ear connection. I have only recently found your channel, but I believe it has already helped a little.
I love the dancing in the end and the music. Thanks for your clear pronunciation, so helpful.

you're so loving
This is helping me with some of my writing. Most times my writings between the characters speaking is boring and kind of repetitive. Thanks this helps to spice it up.
“Familiar-airity” I love the way Brits and Americans accent differences in syllable pentameters. It’s pleasing to the ear to hear where someone is from in their speech and voice, no matter which their accent is, or where their lilt is from. ♥️
Thanks Lucy for your videos, their help me a lot the rules advices and pronuntiation. I've studied English for long time but you makes me easier the English accent, I'm from Barcelona
Thank you lucy for enlightening us about this alternatives. I'm also getting bored using this casual words. But now after watching this video I got some tricks to make conversation more interesting.
Thank you! I have always been searching for ways of improving my vocabulary and these tips are very useful for sounding better in English. 🤗
Thank you, Lucy. Very useful and helpful.
Great lessons Lucy. Thank you.

No issue Dear teacher🥰💖
It's totally okay for me(*ˊᵕˋ* )
No worries, I barely noticed it
Oh don't be so upset .smile
Mam Is there any question form to ask, What kind of person he is ? As-What's he like? What's your dad like ?
Thank you Abelardo. Nice to learn that people further down the list and back in time (in terms of posts/date) are still kept informed. A word to all of you in this 'community' I love this forum and Lucy's commit/ment (even though it seems to be carrying a commercial interest - Audible announcement). My presence here is to enjoy and learn, plus offer any complementary point of view or experience = knowledge. By the way, I am British .... just to be clear on what version of the English language is native to me.... British English is supposed to represent the English language as it is used in the U.K : in England, Scotland Wales, Ireland. We should be aware though that each member country of the U.K has its own idioms, expressions, and language-grammar variants. Each member country can be broken down into regional English language usage. Getting a bit complicated right ???? But that's how it is. No worries, if you're not living in the U.K or corresponding with people resident in the U.K from abroad, you don't have to worry about such details. Just use the English language as best you know and be happy when people understand you rapidly. Cheers ( a very English sign off meaning = All the Best to You)
Thank you Ian, I've tremendously enjoyed your comment!
Hello dear
Have you heard about cpyto trader this is my 7 years with this cpyto intvest
This video Is like A breath of fresh air. I like the idea of reading and listening in tandem. It's good to hear and see 👀 quality content. Thank you, Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you teacher for these helpful lessons 🥰
I think the best phrase to say and saying it with meaning is "Hey, good to see you!" followed up by a memory of the last time you hanging out, followed then by a short summary of what you're doing there in the first place. For me, this always works because it puts the acquaintance at ease that you're just there doing your thing and that you acknowledge their presence, especially if it's at a social event with dozens or hundreds of other people.
i like that ..thanks for contributing
So true
fwafwa123
But what if it isn't good to see you? You're at a funeral... Hey good to see you... Yea that's a great way to greet someone...
Surly you don't do this with everyone?
Love your videos, Lucy!!! Keep it up!
Thanks Lucy for the awesome English lesson ❤
I am a learner and I love to watch this video, thanks for sharing your talent and your knowledge
I never heard this before your great I love the way you do it's nice to know it sounds like a passitive part to improvise mystery perfection
Thank you so much Lucy . i really love love love your last moment of the every class. so thanks a lots .
We need this lesson, thank you Lucy.
I like how you've added a bit of humour in that video. Makes it way more fun to watch.
If I have so beautiful English teacher in my class, I won’t failed my English subject!
The best thing I have ever found on KZhead is the channel English with Lucy
That's mine
I was skeptical at first until I decided to try and now am glad i did, It’s huge returns is awesome! I can’t say much. thanks mrs michelle howard.
So much of this depends on how you ask. There is no way to avoid appearing dismissive when you ask dismissively. However, my favorite is specific to type of day. So, 'how is your evening?' or 'how is your morning going?'
Hey Dear Luceeee.... As Usual, Ur Lessons r Quite Informative & Funny!!! Such Good Way of Putting Things in Perspective, Thank Uuuu❤️🥰❤️
Well, to be honest, thought that this video would be super stupid. But you got great and numerous alternatives. Thumbs up and keep helping us👍👍👍
Thank you so much, Lucy, for your great lessons.
I don’t know how I stumbled on your videos, but I’m delighted!
Lucy, I find you so funny 😁. Such a good teacher.
Nice one ,actually I’m really depressed right now, lost a coworker. very devastating , Needed someone to talk to
Thank you very much indeed. I added a lot of expressions to my language today through listening to your amazing English lesson. God bless you
(I’m a “grandma “ and just had to say) I love your little dance at the end; youre so cute! You remind me of my daughter.❤
Thank you. I do use several of these. And yes I am one of those who says " Have a good day". I sometimes say "Great day". I don't mean to sound trite. I really do wish people a Good, Great, or Nice day. But I guess we say it a lot. Thanks for the video.🌹
I've watched your "YOU'RE WELCOME" video. First, I want to know why I should not say "YOU"RE WELCOME. While watching you, I forgot my reason why I want to watch your video. 😁😂😂😂 Because you are very funny and so lovely to watch. 😍😍😍 you are so unique, sincere and beautiful. Thank you so much for this.

No, no, no... it's all in the emphasis. "Hey, how YOU doin'?"
You are the man
@@_WillCAD_ Damn it Carl, go wait in the hall😅😅
hey Lucy thank you for sharing this video and learned a lot. I have been following you quiet a while.
You have a gorgeous smile Lucy! it's so enticing
Well done, Lucy! Such a simple subject but explained so masterfully! Enjoyed watching this video!
Kiss ass
❤❤❤yeah
Another day ,another lesson. Thankyou lucy.🤸♂️
Loving the humor in this video throughout! 😅
I love listening to your teaching Lucy mem. thank you❤❤❤
I just started to lern English with Lucy wish me good luck guys .
G.L. G.L. = get lost
A common greeting from the 1970s was, "what's happening?" It was okay when coming from acquaintances, but felt intrusive when approached by strangers with a "What's happening?". Thank goodness it fell out of favor decades ago.
I still use it
..and around where I lived it morphed into 'what the haps' - only cool people can say that... ' it can be modernized for these days with 'what's happening, yo'
what's happening? now?
We must promote these videos, cause the more English speakers in the world, the less we need to learn another language just to communicate. Everyone in the world speaks English, and if they don't they ought to. To quote Elizabeth Hurley from Bedazzled lol.
We have been swept along by your self - confidence
People are stunned when I actually answer the question of “How are you?” Well, I actually have a booming headache right now. Or: I just came from the gym and I am full of energy! I can see that they are stunned that I actually answered the question and that I answered honestly. If you don’t want an answer to the question, don’t ask the question.
Hahaha ur right!
😂 They don't want your life story. Just a simple, "Good. And You?"
😂😂😂
Yes the question shows disinterest or a lack of imagination I say "good to see you" (again)
I love listening to your teaching Lucy , thank you 🙏
It's good I've got you back Lucy, I really like to learn from your video
I'm from Papua New Guinea , so happy with your teaching Lucy .🙏💪🤭😍
The fact you rinsed this to over the ten minute mark is amazing.
i would broadcast Lucy's courses in hospitals for the the Covid patients to get well soon. she is such a sight for sore eyes.
Love your teachings with a smile
I like the reactions I get when I greet people with: Greetings and felicitations. So much fun
“How do you fare” I find this one very amusing, didn’t expect it, I’ve never heard it before, well maybe because I’m not an English native speaker, but I so want to give it a try, for fun, here in Australia, to see if people actually understand it and how they will react, LOL.
Normal people: How are you? My friends, whom I didn't talk for days, months and years: Oh? You're still alive?
😆😆😆
@@jpk1893 I can relate as an introvert

I'm so blessed with your lessons 🙏🙏
I love your way of teaching us you're so funny😂💛
Hey Lucy! I'm a new subsciber of yours! ;) Thank you for sharing these lessons with us. This helped us communicate better and convey our thoughts in a creative and appropriate way.
Ayo
wow grt
I'm sri lankan I'm Senashi And student Very helpful to this viedio for talking with others .so thanks a lot. So god bless you!
I often try to come up with a funny or clever response to being asked how I am. One of my favorites is "I'm not sure I want to know how I'm doing." or "I haven't figured that out yet."
Here are my notes : •How are u doing? I'm doing good ❌ I'm doin well / i'm good✅ •how have u been? I've been great I've not been so good •what's going on? Nth much / not much •what's new / what's new w u •what's up? •what are u up to? •how are things going? •how's it going? It' doing great / everything is good •how's everything? •how's life? •how's ur day been / how's ur day going? V FRIENDLY: •how's it hanging?
Someone What are you up to? I solemnly swear that I am up to no good
Mine's hanging to the right
Thanks!
Thank you
@@nicgunner6805 Lmao, I'm sure your tailor would like to have that information before taking your measurements!
Honestly, I had no idea there were so many ways to say "How are you?". Thank you so much. I liked your video and your jokes 😁. ¡Saludos desde Colombia! 🇨🇴
Really 😊 . Same with me. I found it interesting learning more ways. All thanks our tutor
It is a very good video and I like to watch and listen to her every time.
I APPRECIATE THE BRAIN YOU'VE, BEAUTEOUS LUCY.
Love the way you pronounce every word
i love the way you teach, i'm smiling the whole time. and you are so funny! keep it up.
What's sizzling
I can listen to you all day!!
I love your pronunciation, easy to understand for an African from a British colonised country....the American English is a bit rough to understand... thanks teacher Lucy.
Hey Lucy, how are you? 😄 Sorry, but I couldn't help it. I always find your videos interesting, because you tell me what I learned wrongly in English class in Germany (ages ago). I think it's nice that you make your lessons a lot of fun. Greetings from Germany.
that is so interesting!! your english is very good!! i am from the us and i want to help u improve your English!!
"How are you?" that's exactly what it is and it's fine. If you say it to someone you are friends with they will give an answer... If you say to someone you are only a acquaintance with they will simply acknowledge your polite gesture. It is perfectly fine to use. And you're examples are no different than, "How are you?"
EXACTLY nothing but pretentious language police. Pass.
Thanks Lucy am really learning from you , hope to get much from you
A caution about “How’s it hangin’?” I have always heard that it refers to a part of the male anatomy, and the expected reply is usually “On the left.”, “On the right.”, or something else potentially more graphic. So I recommend not using this phrase, unless in somewhat rauncy company and you want to indulge in the raunch.
Glad you daid this. I find it tasteless and quite unacceptable. I have not and never will use it.
