1
Do you want to sound natural when speaking English?
2
Well, don't say these phrases.
3
Some of these phrases may surprise you as they are often taught in English textbooks,
4
but I'm going to say it.
5
In real life, we often don't talk like in textbooks.
6
We are going for natural English today,
7
the way we really speak.
8
Before we get started,
9
one thing I think you're really going to like is I've created a fabulous PDF to go with this video.
10
Of course, you get the phrases that we never use,
11
but what's really valuable in this PDF is a bonus lesson.
12
15 phrases that native speakers use daily.
13
Most English learners have never been taught these,
14
and I guarantee that some of these phrases will shock you.
15
You have probably heard them hundreds of times without even realising what was being said.
16
And once you know them,
17
you will start hearing them everywhere.
18
And more importantly, you will sound more fluent and natural than ever.
19
So don't miss it.

24
Okay, our first phrase might surprise you.
25
It is, my name is.
26
So this is often the first phrase they teach you when you learn English at school,
27
but native speakers almost never use it to introduce themselves.
28
It is much more common to simply say, I'm, I'm Lucy.
29
And we pretty much Never say, I'm called.
30
I'm called Lucy.
31
Just sounds a bit weird to me.
32
Now, an extra tip, when we're talking on the phone,
33
we don't use I'm Lucy in the same way.
34
Instead, we'd say, it's Lucy.
35
How funny is that?
36
I'm Lucy in person.
37
Hey, it's Lucy on the phone.
38
Our second phrase is, I would like a coffee.
39
Now, remember, I'm not saying that this is incorrect.
40
You will be understood.
41
But this phrase is often taught as a polite way to ask for something.
42
It's not wrong, but it can sound slightly too formal,
43
especially if you use the long form,
44
I would like, instead of I'd like.
45
If you want to sound more natural when you order coffee in a coffee shop,
46
you can say, can I have a coffee please?
47
Or I'll have a coffee please.
48
or the number and then the coffee.
49
One flat white, please.
50
Two cappuccinos, please.
51
Again, I would like a flat white.
52
I would like a cappuccino is not wrong.
53
There's a more natural way to say it.
54
Next, we have, I must go now.
55
So, textbooks always teach this one,
56
but it sounds quite serious in real life.
57
We'd usually just say, sorry, I have to go.
58
Or, sorry, I've got to go.
59
Or the shortest form, gotta go.
60
Sorry, gotta go.
61
Another very British alternative is write,
62
I'm off while slapping our thighs and standing up.
63
Now, in general, we actually use have to and have got to more than must.
64
For number four, can I go to the bathroom, please?
65
Now, unless you're a child at school,
66
you don't need to ask for permission.
67
If you're in someone's house,
68
you can just say, do you mind if I use the toilet?
69
Toilet is more common in British English.
70
Bathroom is more common in American English.
71
If you want to sound super British, the loo.
72
I'll just pop to the loo.
73
Number five is in my country.
74
Now, you might be thinking,
75
what is wrong with that?
76
Nothing is technically wrong.
77
We just don't say it that often.
78
We pretty much always say the name of our country.
79
Like in the UK, we eat dinner earlier.
80
Sometimes we'd also say, where I'm from,
81
we eat dinner earlier, or most shops are closed on Sunday in Spain.
82
Next, we have a phrase that all students use, in my opinion.
83
Students are often taught to use this for official language exams,
84
and it's a really good phrase for that.
85
However, in real life, we would usually say,
86
I think, or very British, I reckon.
87
I use this all the time as a more informal alternative to think.
88
Number seven, imagine you walk into a restaurant and ask for a table.
89
You say, we are four people.
90
Then you hear the person behind you say,
91
a table for four, please.
92
In English, we don't tend to use we are to say how many people there are.
93
In a restaurant, a table for four.
94
You can also say, there are four of us to give a number in general.
95
Next, we have I enjoy a lot.
96
This one is actually incorrect.
97
Enjoy takes an object, so we can't say enjoy a lot.
98
We need to say I enjoy it a lot.
99
I like a lot is also incorrect.
100
We need an object like it.
101
I like it a lot.
102
Now, this next one is an example of what can happen when students overuse idioms.
103
We have kick the bucket and this is a really informal term for
104
when someone dies and we only use it in very specific situations because it can be considered disrespectful.
105
You would only use kick the bucket if you're trying to be funny.
106
In general, we would usually say that someone has passed away.
107
Sometimes we just say passed or simply died.
108
Number 10 is a term of endearment.
109
It's dear.
110
Now, of course, we still use this in letters and emails.
111
For example, dear Alice.
112
But nowadays, we don't really call people dear when talking to them.
113
I've heard many students use this and it can sound either too forward or a little bit outdated.
114
We do use terms of endearment like mate,
115
pal or love with close friends.
116
Sometimes dear, if said with the wrong tone of voice,
117
can sound a little bit sarcastic.
118
Yes, dear can sound a little bit demeaning, patronising.
119
Yeah, dear can sound a bit patronising.
120
i receive messages all the time calling me dear
121
and obviously i don't take it that way
122
but it's just one to bear in mind i'm referring to
123
british english here it could be very common in other areas number 11 is i'm concentrated on my studies now
124
when we use the adjective concentrated we're often talking about orange
125
juice concentrated orange juice we would usually choose a different adjective here.
126
Focused.
127
And notice that this has two syllables, not three.
128
Focused.
129
I'm focused on my studies.
130
He's focused on his work right now.
131
However, you can use to concentrate as a verb, as in quiet.
132
He's trying to concentrate.
133
Or shh.
134
I'm concentrating.
135
I've put a bit more information about this in the pdf
136
that goes with this video the link is in the description next we have you're welcome
137
if we say this
138
when someone says thank you it can sound quite formal depending on the context instead we usually say no problem
139
or of course thanks for printing off that document of course Okay,
140
we're getting a bit sporty now for number 13.
141
Don't say going to swim or going to cycle.
142
Try using the ing form to refer to activities in general.
143
I'm going swimming tomorrow.
144
I'm going cycling tomorrow.
145
We might use to swim or to cycle if we're doing something specific.
146
For example, he's going to swim 10 kilometers for charity tomorrow.
147
Or they're going to cycle to the pub instead of walking.
148
Continuing with the sporty theme,
149
next we have to practice a sport.
150
I often hear this from students who transfer it from their mother tongue,
151
but it just doesn't sound natural in English.
152
We use the word do when talking about a sport in general,
153
or play a sport or sports.
154
I'm going to do some sport at the weekend.
155
I don't play any team sports.
156
Now, after doing sport, my English friends wouldn't ask,
157
do you want to drink a coffee?
158
To make invitations like this,
159
we usually say, do you want to have a coffee?
160
Get a coffee,
161
or informally grab a coffee i also hear some students ask do you want to take a coffee
162
and again this is not something we would say that's normally
163
a translation of how students would say it in their mother tongue however we can use take
164
when asking if someone accepts something with their food
165
or drink do you take sugar in your coffee 16 finally
166
we have goodbye again this is one of the first words you learn in English,
167
but we don't tend to use it as often as you'd think.
168
We're more likely to say bye,
169
see you later, see ya, see you.
170
We often say bye bye to children.
171
I like it though when adults say it to each other,
172
it sounds really innocent.
173
Bye bye.
174
Okay, before we say bye bye,
175
let's do a short quiz to see how much you remember.
176
How can we say these phrases more naturally.
177
One, I need to practice some sport next weekend.
178
Two, I feel very concentrated on my running right now.
179
Three, I enjoy a lot.
180
Four, I'm called Lucy.
181
And five, we are two people.
182
Pause now if you need more time.
183
Are you ready for the answers?
184
One, I need to do some sport next weekend, not practice.
185
Two, I feel focused.
186
Remember, we don't use concentrated as an adjective like this.
187
Three, I enjoy it a lot.
188
Enjoy needs an object.
189
Four, use I'm Lucy, or your own name,
190
to introduce yourself in person,
191
over the phone, it's Lucy.
192
And number five, if in a restaurant,
193
two please, a table for two,
194
or in general, there are two of us.
195

משפטים שכדאי לחזור עליהם
משפטים קצרים ושלמים מהסרטון שאפשר להשתמש בהם בשיחה יומיומית:
- I would like, instead of I'd like.
- We'd usually just say, sorry, I have to go.
- I'm off while slapping our thighs and standing up.
- For number four, can I go to the bathroom, please?
- Are you ready for the answers?
דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה | are often taught · been taught · being said |
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | I've created · have never been taught · have probably heard |
הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-60 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו I'm, don't, we're. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: cappuccino /ˌkæpəˈt͡ʃinoʊ/, disrespectful /dɪs.ɹɪˈspɛkt.fəl/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, technically /ˈtɛk.nɪˌkəl.i/, invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, cappuccino /ˌkæpəˈt͡ʃinoʊ/, scan /skæn/, sarcastic /sɑɹˈkæs.tɪk/, slap /slæp/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: concentrate /ˈkɑn.sən.tɹeɪt/, incorrect /ˌɪn.kəˈɹɛkt/, endearment /ɪnˈdɪəɹ.mənt/, sporty /ˈspɔɹti/, informal /ɪnˈfɔɹ.m(ə)l/
- עיצור קולי בסוף מילה — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ בלי להפוך אותם לאטומים: adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, overuse /ˌoʊvɚˈjuːz/, outdated /aʊtˈdeɪtɪd/, verb /vɝb/, quiz /kwɪz/
איך לתרגל עם הסרטון הזה
- הקשיבו לכל הסרטון פעם אחת בלי לדבר, ורשמו את המילים שאתם לא מכירים.
- תרגלו Shadowing משפט אחר משפט במהירות רגילה, וחזרו על כל משפט עד שהקצב שלכם תואם את הדובר.
- הקליטו את עצמכם והשוו למקור, תוך תשומת לב למילים כמו adjective, textbook, cappuccino.
מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
