1
I imagine one of the first phrases you ever learned in English was, you're welcome.
2
And you're welcome is fine.
3
It's a very commonly used expression,
4
the natural response to thank you.
5
But it's not the only expression that British people use.
6
In fact, it can sound a bit more stiff
7
and a bit more formal than some of the other options that we use.
8
We do say you're welcome,
9
but we say lots of other things depending on the situation or the tone.
10
So today I am going to show you some natural alternatives to you're welcome.
11
They will range from polite to friendly to informal and casual to typically British.
12
Are you ready to learn some alternatives to you're welcome?
13
Let's go.
14
Let's start with a classic.
15
No problem.
16
No problem.
17
No problem.
18
This is incredibly common in British English, especially in casual situations.
19
You might hear it when someone is thanked for a small favour,
20
or when someone opens the door for someone,
21
or if someone helps quickly.
22
For example, thanks for sending that over.
23
No problem.
24
No problem.
25
One thing to note about this one.
26
Some people might feel this sounds too casual in very formal situations,
27
but in everyday life it's completely normal.
28
Thanks, no problem.
29
This next one is ideal if you want to sound very British and very relaxed,
30
and that is no worries.
31
No worries.
32
It means that was easy,
33
I don't mind, you didn't inconvenience me in any way, no worries.
34
For example, Sorry I'm late.
35
No worries.
36
You'll hear this everywhere in the UK and I believe in Australia too.
37
But no worries is very common in the UK.
38
Now the next one, of course.
39
This one is subtle but powerful.
40
It suggests that helping was obvious, expected, completely natural.
41
For example, thanks for helping me revise.
42
Of course.
43
Oh thanks for looking after the dog.
44
Of course.
45
Of course.
46
Just with this one, be careful with your tone.
47
If you say it warmly,
48
it is kind and reassuring.
49
Of course.
50
If you say it sharply and clipped, it can sound annoyed.
51
Of course.
52
Of course.
53
I've been through this before.
54
Tone matters.
55
Tone is very important.
56
Number four is a friendly and and a warm one,
57
and that is anytime.
58
Anytime.
59
As you can probably guess from the word itself this means
60
i'd happily do it again anytime for example thanks for explaining
61
that anytime this works very well with friends
62
or colleagues it feels very generous
63
and open anytime i'd happily do it again anytime this next
64
one is very polite very professional can be a touch formal which is fine and that is
65
my pleasure you'll hear this a lot in hotels restaurants
66
or shops in the hospitality industry for example oh thank you
67
so much my pleasure
68
or it's a pleasure my pleasure you can use this one in everyday life
69
but it is a tad more formal this next one is
70
a very natural one number six don't mention it don't mention
71
it this means it's not worth thanking me it was so little bother to me It's not worth thanking me.
72
Don't mention it.
73
For example, thanks for picking that up for me.
74
Don't mention it.
75
It can sound friendly or dismissive depending on the tone.
76
Again, watch your tone.
77
Warmth is everything.
78
Listen to the difference with this.
79
Don't mention it.
80
Don't mention it.
81
Don't mention it.
82
Don't mention it.
83
Big difference there.
84
This next one, that's all right or that's okay.
85
These are understated and of course,
86
because they are understated, they are very British.
87
That's alright or that's okay.
88
For example, oh, thanks waiting,
89
that's all right, thanks for doing that for me, that's okay.
90
These are both calm and quite natural.
91
What we don't always say,
92
as I mentioned at the beginning,
93
we don't always say you're welcome.
94
We do say it but usually when we are being extra polite
95
or we're teaching or we want to sound very clear or formal,
96
in daily conversation it can sound a bit distant actually.
97
So if you're always saying you're welcome.
98
You're not wrong, but it can sound a bit more formal.
99
Now let's practice.
100
I'm going to say thank you and without thinking,
101
choose one of the new ways you have learned to say you're welcome.
102
Thanks for your help.
103
Thanks for holding the door.
104
Thanks so much for everything.
105
Write your answers in the comments.
106
There's no single correct answer.
107
Context with this is everything.
108
So if you're not given that much context, it's not as easy.
109
And there you go next time someone says thank you in English,
110
you've got many options.

また、shadow speechの一環として、リピート練習を行う際は、実際の会話に近いスピードで言うことを心がけましょう。何度も繰り返すことで、英語スピーキング練習がより効果的になります。これらの表現は非常に使われるので、日常的に練習することで自信を持って使えるようになります。リラックスして、楽しく練習してみてください！
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。
