Hi, and welcome to the Espresso English Podcast, where you can improve your English in just a few minutes a day.
2
My name is Shaina, and I'm the teacher at Espresso English.
3
Make sure to visit the website, EspressoEnglish .net, where you can get online courses and ebooks that will help you learn English even faster.
4
Let's get started with today's lesson.
5
Not all English is the same.
6
The way you speak to a close friend is probably very different from the way you talk to your manager
7
or communicate with a client.
8
Informal English is friendly, relaxed, and conversational.
9
Native speakers use it with friends, family, classmates, and co -workers they know well.
10
It's common in text messages, casual emails, and everyday conversations.
11
Formal English is more polite, professional, and carefully worded.
12
You'll often see more formal English in business emails, job applications, academic writing, customer service,
13
presentations, and communication with people you don't know well.
14
Today, I'll show you 10 phrases and how they're different when we're speaking formally versus informally.
15
And I've got a super bonus for you, a guide to 50 phrases with their formal versions and informal versions.
16
It's really helpful in seeing how we say it differently in each situation.
17

18
Our first phrase is, I'll think about it.
19
That's a common way to say it informally.
20
If we want to be more formal, we could say, I will give it some consideration.
21
Or you could also say, I will consider it note
22
that we don't say consider about it just consider it next we have do you want to
23
which is informal in fact
24
when we're speaking fast it even sounds more like do you wanna
25
but in more formal situations say would you like to instead
26
for example would you like to join me for lunch let's
27
say someone invites you to an event informally we could say I can't go
28
or I can't make it the formal version would be I
29
am unable to attend we usually avoid contractions like can't in more formal written English
30
when you're excited about something the future you can say I
31
can't wait to see you informally the more formal version is I look forward to seeing you note
32
that after look forward to we use the ing form and we also typically avoid exclamation points in formal writing.
33
If you need to deliver some bad news, an informal way to do it is I'm sorry to say or I'm sorry to tell you.
34
In formal English, we can say I regret to inform you.
35
One common everyday phrase is I'm really worried about, but that's not the way we'd say it in more formal English, the more formal version is,
36
I am quite concerned about.
37
In everyday, informal English, it's very common to use really for emphasis, really worried, really big, really interesting,
38
etc. But in more formal situations, use quite or very instead.
39
Here's a similar issue.
40
Informally, we can say, this product is kind of expensive.
41
That means a little expensive.
42
But more formally, use rather instead of kind of.
43
So we'd say, this product is rather expensive.
44
When you want someone to send your greetings to another person, you can say, say hi to your sister for me informally.
45
But in the professional world, a better phrase is, please give my regards to Carol.
46
When you want the other person to decide something, two common informal phrases are, it's your call or it's up to you.
47
More formally, we'd say something like, the decision is yours.
48
Finally, when asking for the other person's opinion, you can say, let me know what you think, informally.
49
That's very casual.
50
More formally, you can say, I would appreciate your feedback, or I would love to hear your thoughts.
51
It's all about choosing the right words and phrases for the right situation,
52
so you sound casual and relaxed with friends and you sound polite and professional at work.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
