Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Emily.
3
Hello Emily.
4
Hi everyone.
5
It's so great to be here with you all today.
6
We have a really fun topic today.
7
We are talking about the words we actually use every single day in real life.
8
Yeah, not the big fancy vocabulary words from textbooks, but the small words that hold our conversations together.
9
Exactly.
10
And we're starting with the ultimate multi-tool of the English language, the word get.
11
Oh yeah, if you master get, you sound so much more natural.
12
It replaces so many formal verbs.
13
Let's think about how we use it.
14
When you understand something, you don't usually say, I understand.
15
You say, I get it.
16
Right.
17
Or if you receive an email, you wouldn't say, I received your message.
18
You just say, I got your email.
19
It's so much faster and more relaxed.
20
We also use it for arriving somewhere, like, what time did you get home last night?
21
Not what time did you arrive at your residence.
22
That sounds like a police officer asking questions.
23
Totally.
24
Get is just comfortable.
25
It makes you sound like a friend.
26
And don't forget using get for buying or fetching things.
27
Oh, that's a great one.
28
Like I need to get some milk at the store.
29
Or can you get me a coffee while you're out?
30
It completely replaces words like purchase, buy, fetch, or obtain.
31
It's incredibly versatile.
32
Are there any common mistakes students make with get?
33
Sometimes they try to force it where it doesn't belong.
34
But a good rule is use it mostly for receiving, understanding, buying, and arriving.
35
That makes it simple.
36
Okay, so what about the little words we use to start our sentences, like so and well?
37
Ah, the conversational glue.
38
Real life isn't like a movie script.
39
We don't always know exactly what we are going to say next.
40
And that's why we use so or well.
41
It gives your brain a little extra second to think.
42
Yes.
43
If someone asks me a difficult question, I might just say, well, let me think about that.
44
Or if you want to start a brand new topic, you use so.
45
Like, so, what are you doing this weekend?
46
Exactly.
47
It's much softer than just demanding, what are you doing this weekend?
48
It acts like a little bridge into the conversation.
49
Without it, you can sound a bit too direct or aggressive.
50
Which brings us perfectly to our next words, actually and honestly.
51
These are so important for polite disagreements.
52
Because we don't always agree, right?
53
But we want to stay friendly while we argue.
54
Exactly.
55
Let's do a quick role play.
56
Paul, tell me you loved that new superhero movie we saw.
57
Oh, I thought that new movie was amazing.
58
The action was incredible.
59
Now, if I didn't like it, I shouldn't just say, No, it was terrible.
60
That's too harsh.
61
Instead, I can say, Actually, I thought it was a little boring.
62
Ah, that actually softens the blow.
63
It tells me I have a different opinion, but I'm not fighting with you.
64
Right.
65
And honestly works the exact same way.
66
Honestly, it wasn't my favorite.
67
It's like you're sharing a small secret.
68
It builds trust instead of causing an argument.
69
It's such a helpful trick.
70
Speaking of helpful, let's talk about how we show we are actively listening to someone.
71
Oh, active listening.
72
This is huge in American English.
73
We never just sit in total silence when someone is talking to us.
74
No, we constantly use little words to agree.
75
Words like right, exactly, and totally.
76
Let's show them how it sounds.
77
Emily, tell me a short story about your morning.
78
Okay.
79
So, I woke up late today because my alarm didn't go off.
80
Right.
81
And I had to run to catch the bus, but it was pouring rain.
82
Oh no!
83
And when I finally got on the bus, I realized I forgot my umbrella.
84
Totally.
85
I hate when that happens.
86
See?
87
Those little words let me know you are engaged.
88
If you were completely quiet, I would think you weren't paying attention at all.
89
Or that my video froze on a Zoom call.
90
You have to give that verbal feedback.
91
And exactly is perfect for when someone says something you strongly agree with.
92
If I say, English spelling is so confusing sometimes.
93
Exactly.
94
It really is.
95
It validates the other person's feelings instantly.
96
You know, this is a great time to remind everyone watching to be part of our conversation, too.
97
Yes!

100
Leave us a comment down below and tell us which of these words you use the most in your daily life.
101
We read all your comments and they really help the channel grow, so thank you so much.
102
Now, let's move on to some words that get a bad reputation.
103
The notorious fillers like and just.
104
Oh boy, people love to complain about the word like.
105
They really do, because native speakers use it constantly, even when it doesn't mean anything specific.
106
It's another thinking word.
107
I was, like, really tired yesterday.
108
It shouldn't be overused in formal writing or a job interview, but in casual conversation, it's everywhere.
109
It's part of the natural rhythm of American English, but I think just is even more useful for learners.
110
Why is that?
111
Because just makes things sound smaller and therefore much more polite.
112
Oh, I get it.
113
If I need a favor, I wouldn't say, I need one minute of your time.
114
I would say, I just need one minute of your time.
115
Exactly.
116
It removes the pressure.
117
I just wanted to check in.
118
I'm just looking.
119
If you're in a store and a salesperson asks to help you, I'm just looking is the perfect polite escape.
120
It really is.
121
It softens the boundary.
122
We also use it in that great phrase, just in case.
123
Oh, I love that one.
124
I brought an umbrella just in case.
125
It means you are preparing for a possibility without making a big deal out of it.
126
So, just is a very powerful word to keep in your daily vocabulary.
127
But what happens when we want to change the topic completely, or escape a long conversation?
128
That's when we use our magic transition word, anyway.
129
Anyway is so useful.
130
It's the polite way to say, let's move on.
131
Like if we get completely distracted talking about our favorite movies and we need to get back to teaching English.
132
I can just say, anyway, let's look at the next vocabulary word.
133
And it doesn't sound rude at all.
134
It just resets the conversation back to where it should be.
135
It's also great for ending a conversation when you need to leave.
136
Yes.
137
If you bump into a friend at the supermarket and talk for a few minutes, you can't just walk away in silence.
138
You say, It signals that the interaction is wrapping up, smoothly and naturally.
139
Are there any other ways to use it?
140
Sometimes I hear people use it to summarize a long, rambling story.
141
Oh, for sure.
142
If you're telling a story that goes a bit off track, you can say, anyway, the point is, and just jump right to the conclusion.
143
It's like a rescue word when you realize you've been talking way too much.
144
Exactly.
145
It saves you from an awkward moment and keeps things moving.
146
I think a lot of these words just give us safety and comfort when we're speaking.
147
You are so right about that comfort factor.
148
And that actually brings up two more small phrases that do exactly that.
149
I mean, and you know.
150
You know is a classic.
151
Native speakers use it constantly to ask for empathy or connection.
152
Yes.
153
It's not really a question about knowledge.
154
When I say, it's been a really long week, you know, I am checking to see if you feel the same way.
155
I do that all the time.
156
It's like a little hook to pull the listener into my feelings.
157
Exactly.
158
And, I mean, works in a similar way, but we use it to clarify our thoughts or correct ourselves in real time.
159
It is the best rescue phrase.
160
If you say something slightly wrong, you don't need to stop and apologize.
161
You just use I mean.
162
Let's say I am invited to a party.
163
I might say, I want to go.
164
I mean, I am a little tired, but I still want to go.
165
It sounds so much better than stopping, pausing awkwardly, and starting a brand new sentence from scratch.
166
And that is a huge mistake I see language learners make.
167
They try to be completely perfect before they open their mouths.
168
We are definitely not perfect when we speak.
169
We change our minds mid-sentence all the time.
170
We really do.
171
We stumble, we hesitate, and we backtrack.
172
That's exactly why we need these flexible little words.
173
I think it would be really helpful to do a quick role play.
174
Let's show everyone how a real conversation mixes all these words together naturally.
175
Oh, I love that idea.
176
Let's pretend we are making plans for the weekend, but we We keep changing our minds.
177
Sounds perfect.
178
I'll start us off.
179
So are we still going to the park on Saturday afternoon?
180
Well, actually, I was just looking at the weather forecast.
181
It's supposed to rain all day.
182
Oh, right.
183
I completely forgot about that.
184
I mean, we could still go if we just bring big umbrellas, but it might be kind of miserable.
185
Totally.
186
Honestly, I would rather just stay inside and watch a movie instead.
187
Yeah, exactly.
188
Anyway, we can figure out the exact movie later this week. And scene.
189
See how naturally that flowed?
190
We used almost every single word on our list in less than a minute.
191
And it didn't sound scripted or like a textbook at all.
192
It just sounded like two friends working out a problem.
193
One thing I notice with my students is they feel guilty using these filler words.
194
Have you noticed that, Emily?
195
Yes, all the time.
196
They think it makes them sound uneducated or like they don't know enough advanced vocabulary.
197
But it's actually the complete opposite.
198
Using words like just, well, and anyway correctly shows very advanced social skills.
199
It really does.
200
It shows you understand the underlying rhythm of English.
201
You aren't just reciting vocabulary.
202
How can they practice this?
203
Because it is really hard to memorize spontaneity.
204
My best advice is to stop translating directly from your native language in your head.
205
That is so important.
206
If you translate word for word, you will never find these small cultural words.
207
Right.
208
In your language, you might have a very formal, specific phrase for transitioning between topics.
209
But in English, we just throw in anyway.
210
So my advice is to start very small.
211
Pick just one word to focus on this week.
212
Let's say, just.
213
Great choice.
214
Try to add just to your daily requests to soften them.
215
I just need a quick coffee.
216
I just wanted to ask you a question.
217
Once that feels normal and comfortable, add another one.
218
Start answering exactly or totally when you agree with a co-worker.
219
You will be amazed at how quickly native speakers relax around you when you start doing this.
220
Because you are speaking their melody.
221
You aren't just using their words, you are matching their conversational vibe.
222
Speaking of co-workers, let's talk about the workplace for a second.
223
Can we use all of these words at the office?
224
That's a great question, because honestly, I feel like like sounds a bit unprofessional in a business setting.
225
Oh, that is a fantastic point.
226
No, I would absolutely avoid using like as a filler word in a formal meeting or a job interview.
227
Right.
228
It can make you sound a bit unsure of yourself if you use it too much in front of your boss.
229
But the others… actually, just, well, and right?
230
They are completely crucial for office diplomacy.
231
You definitely can't just tell a client or a manager that their idea is terrible.
232
You need to soften it.
233
No, please don't do that.
234
That's exactly where actually and well come to the rescue.
235
Well, actually, I was thinking we could try a slightly different approach for this project.
236
It sounds so professional, but also very gentle.
237
You aren't attacking anyone's intelligence.
238
And if a colleague is explaining a complicated new software system to you, you have to use right and exactly to show you are following along.
239
If you sit silently staring at them while they explain something, people might think you are confused, or worse, angry.
240
I've actually had that happen.
241
I was just thinking deeply about a problem, and my co-workers stopped and asked, are you upset with me?
242
Because you weren't giving them the verbal clues.
243
You weren't giving them the yeahs and the totallys that tell them everything is fine.
244
It is fascinating how much heavy lifting these tiny words do for our relationships and our careers.
245
They really are the glue.
246
And another great workplace trick is using I mean when you need to give constructive criticism.
247
Give me an example of how you would use it for feedback.
248
Instead of saying, this financial report is way too long, you could say, I mean,
249
the data is great, but maybe we could just shorten the introduction?
250
Ah, that frames it as a helpful suggestion rather than a harsh fact.
251
It gives the other person space to agree with you without feeling defensive.
252
Exactly.
253
And that is really the secret here.
254
Nobody likes to feel defensive or attacked.
255
These everyday words protect the relationship.
256
It's so true.
257
We spend so much time studying big vocabulary lists.
258
But relationships are built on these tiny little bridges.
259
I love how you phrase that.
260
A tiny little bridge.
261
When you say totally or I mean, you are building a bridge to the other person.
262
And it proves that speaking English isn't just about exchanging data, it's about emotional connection.
263
Right.
264
If you just wanted to exchange data, you could talk to a robot.
265
But we are humans, speaking to humans.
266
Well, sometimes my teenagers communicate like robots when I ask them to clean their rooms.
267
Just cold, one-word answers.
268
Oh, I know that feeling.
269
But it actually reminds me of an advanced student I had a few years ago.
270
He was a brilliant software engineer.
271
Okay, what was his struggle?
272
His grammar was absolutely flawless.
273
Perfect verb tenses, huge technical vocabulary.
274
But he sounded so cold and robotic at work.
275
Oh, I can picture that.
276
It can make people seem very unapproachable, even if they don't mean to be.
277
Exactly.
278
His coworkers thought he was arrogant, but he wasn't at all.
279
He was just trying so hard to be perfectly correct.
280
So how did you help him fix that?
281
I actually made him stop studying grammar for a while.
282
I gave him a list of these exact everyday words.
283
I told him he had to use, I mean, or you know, at least twice a day in the office.
284
That is a brilliant homework assignment.
285
Did it work?
286
It changed everything.
287
Within a month, his co-workers started inviting him to lunch.
288
He softened his language, and it completely transformed his professional relationships.
289
Wow.
290
That just proves how powerful these tiny words really are.
291
They change the whole temperature of a conversation.
292
They really do.
293
And the best part is, it takes all the pressure off.
294
You don't need a flawless sentence ready every time you open your mouth.
295
That's such a relief.
296
Saying well or so while you think isn't a mistake, it's just natural speaking.
297
In fact, it sounds far more fluent than reciting a textbook.
298
Exactly.
299
And when you relax, the people listening to you relax too.
300
So, our challenge for you this week is simple.
301
Pick just one word from today's list and try it out in a real conversation.
302
Well, I think that is a wonderful thought to end our conversation on today.
303
We have covered a lot of ground.
304
We really have.
305
From get all the way to you know.
306
I hope everyone found some useful tools for their daily lives.
307
I'm sure they did.
308
Thank you so much for joining us today, everyone.
309
Keep practicing, keep making those tiny bridges, and don't worry about being perfect.
310
Keep learning and keep speaking.
311
Have a fantastic week everyone.
312
See you next time on Mr. English Channel.
313
Bye!
314
Bye everyone!

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "Everyday English Words You Need to Sound More Natural | English Conversation Practice" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
