Hi I'm Martin.

Welcome to Oxford Online English.
3
In this lesson, you can learn some essential phrases to help you understand native speakers and sound more natural when you speak English.
4
When you’re talking to a native English speaker, do you sometimes find they use phrases and questions which you haven’t heard before?
5
If you’ve learned English in classrooms, there are probably many simple but important phrases that you aren’t familiar with.
6
We’ll show you a few of these useful phrases to help you understand and speak to native English speakers.
7
Let’s start with a question.
8
What have you been up to?
9
Have you heard this question before?
10
What does it mean?
11
How would you answer it?
12
I ask students this question all the time, and they never know what it means.
13
So how should you answer it?
14
What have you been up to? is like asking What have you been doing recently?
15
It’s a common question after you say hello to someone, especially if you haven’t seen that person in some time.
16
For example: Hey!
17
Hi, Martin!
18
Long time no see.
19
How’s life?
20
Good! What about you, what have you been up to?
21
Oh, not much, just busy with work and the usual things.
22
Here are some other answers you could give.
23
Someone asks you What have you been up to? and you could say: I’ve just got back from my holiday.
24
I’ve been pretty lazy recently, to be honest.
25
I’ve been working so hard I haven’t had much time for anything.
26
What about you; what have you been up to?
27
Hey Martin, what common phrases do your students need?
28
Actually, I dunno.
29
I’d have to think about it.
30
Have you heard or seen the word dunno before?
31
It’s a short form of don’t know.
32
I dunno means I don’t know.
33
But actually, English has lots of these, like gonna for going to, wanna for want to, and so on.
34
However, words like gonna are generally used in a sentence.
35
That makes it easier to work out the meaning.
36
Dunno can be used as a one-word answer.
37
In my experience, this can be confusing for many non-native speakers!
38
For example: Is he coming to the wedding?
39
Dunno. What time is it?
40
Dunno. What does hold on mean?
41
Dunno. Really?
42
Okay, well Martin can’t help me.
43
What about you?
44
What does hold on mean?
45
Have you heard this before?
46
Actually, I do know!
47
Hold on means wait.
48
You might hear it on the phone.
49
You call a company to ask a question, and you might hear: Can you hold on for a moment, please?
50
This is like saying can you wait for a moment?
51
It’s also common during conversation.
52
If the person you’re talking to says something you don’t understand, or that you don’t agree with, you can say hold on to show this.
53
For example: So, you start by multiplying the matrices together to get your vectors… Hold on, what does any of that mean?
54
Anyway, I told them that we’d be there on Saturday morning… Hold on, I thought we said we were going on Sunday!
55
You can see that you can use hold on to interrupt someone else if they say something you don’t understand, or that you don’t agree with.
56
It’s a very useful and common phrase!
57
All this teaching’s making me thirsty.
58
Want a cup of tea?
59
Yeah, might as well.
60
If you ask someone a question, and they answer might as well, what are they saying to you?
61
Might as well means there’s no reason to say no.
62
So, it’s like saying yes, or why not?
63
It can also be used to say yes to something when you don’t feel enthusiastic.
64
For example, imagine you miss a train.
65
You have to wait five hours for the next one.
66
Your friend asks if you want to go to the cinema.
67
You don’t like the film which your friend suggested, and you don’t want to watch it.
68
But, you have five hours until your train, and there’s nothing else to do, so you say, yeah, might as well.
69
Might as well isn’t always negative like this, though.
70
It can be used to say yes to something you actually want to do.
71
For example, imagine you’re waiting for a bus.
72
Your friend says, Why don’t we walk?
73
You think about it.
74
It’s not far.
75
You don’t know when the bus will come, and it’s a beautiful, sunny day.
76
So, why not?
77
You say, Yeah, might as well!
78
I’m getting kind of tired.
79
We should take a five-minute break.
80
What do you reckon?
81
We’re only halfway!
82
We can take a break later.
83
What do you reckon? can have more than one meaning.
84
Like all of these phrases, it’s very common in spoken English!
85
First, it can mean do you agree?
86
For example: Our plane’s at six.
87
We need to be at the airport at 4.30, so we should leave here at two.
88
What do you reckon?
89
Here, I make a suggestion—we need to leave at two—and I’m asking you if you agree with my suggestion or not.
90
You can also use what do you reckon to ask what’s your opinion?
91
For example: Maybe I should quit and look for a new job, but I’m not sure.
92
What do you reckon?
93
Here, I’m asking what you think: should I quit and look for a new job, or should I stay where I am?
94
I want to know what you think.
95
What do you reckon is almost always used as a fixed phrase.
96
Generally, you don’t add anything after it.
97
Can we have that break now?
98
In a bit! You’re at work.
99
You ask your colleague to send you something.
100
She says, Yeah, I’ll get it to you in a bit.
101
What does she mean?
102
In a bit means a short time later.
103
In our example, your colleague is saying she’ll send you what you need a short time later.
104
So, she’s saying that she’ll do it, but not right now.
105
You might also hear in a little bit.
106
Where else could you use this phrase?
107
Let’s see some more examples: When will my computer be fixed?
108
We’re working on it now.
109
It should be done in a bit.
110
Can you come back in half an hour?
111
Want to go for dinner?
112
I’m not hungry right now, but we can go in a bit.
113
So, that’s fixed, we’ll meet at six?
114
Yup, see you in a bit!
115
You can also use the phrase see you in a bit to say goodbye to someone if you know you’re going to see them in the near future.
116
Bad news, Martin.
117
Oh, what’s that?
118
I don’t think we’ll have time for that break.
119
How come? Martin just asked me a question.
120
Do you remember what he said?
121
He asked how come?
122
What is this, and how can you answer it?
123
Asking how come is like asking why?
124
The meaning is the same.
125
However, you can’t use it in every situation.
126
You can use how come to ask why if someone tells you something surprising, disappointing or annoying.
127
Did you hear?
128
They cancelled the wedding.
129
No way! How come?
130
He didn’t get me anything for my birthday.
131
Really? How come?
132
I have to leave three hours early today.
133
That’s not easy.
134
How come? Well, we have one more useful phrase to look at.
135
You’ve finished most of the lesson.
136
How did you find it?
137
This is another very common question which is often misunderstood!
138
How did you find it means what did you think?
139
It’s like asking did you like it?
140
You can use this question to ask about many different things.
141
For example: How did you find the film?
142
I heard you’ve started aikido lessons.
143
How are you finding it?
144
How have you found the course so far?
145
You can see that you can use this question in different times and verb tenses.
146
So, how can you answer?
147
How did you find the film?
148
It was kind of boring, actually.
149
I heard you’ve started aikido lessons.
150
How are you finding it?
151
Really interesting!
152
I was never interested in martial arts, but it’s actually very fun.
153

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하나요?

영어 회화를 연습하는 것은 원어민과의 소통 능력을 향상시키는 데 매우 중요합니다. 이 비디오에서는 자연스러운 대화를 위해 반드시 알아야 할 필수 문구들을 알려줍니다. “What have you been up to?”와 같은 질문은 일반적인 인사말 후에 자주 사용되며, 이를 이해하면 대화의 흐름을 자연스럽게 이어갈 수 있습니다. 또한, 비디오에서 제시된 문구는 실제 생활에서 많이 쓰이는 표현이라서 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 비디오를 통해 배우는 문장을 반복하고 실생활에 적용해보면, 자신감 있게 영어로 대화할 수 있는 능력을 키울 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법과 표현

  • What have you been up to?: 최근에 뭐했는지 물어볼 때 쓰는 표현으로, 친구나 오랜만에 만난 사람과의 대화에서 자주 사용됩니다.
  • I dunno: 'I don't know'의 줄임말로, 누군가의 질문에 쉽고 간단하게 대답할 때 유용합니다.
  • Can you hold on?: 기다려 달라는 뜻으로, 전화 통화 중에 자주 사용되는 표현입니다. 이러한 표현들을 익힘으로써 IELTS 스피킹에서 실제 상황에 대처하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
  • I’ve just got back from my holiday: 최근에 휴가에서 돌아왔다는 의미로, 대화에서 상대방의 상황을 이해하고 공감하는 데 필수적인 문장입니다.
  • What about you?: 상대방에게 같은 질문을 반문할 때 사용하는 친근한 표현으로, 대화를 활성화하는 데 매우 효과적입니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 다루는 표현 중 일부는 비원어민에게는 발음하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 특히 “dunno”라는 표현은 그 발음 때문에 오해를 살 수 있습니다. 이 단어는 “don’t know”의 발음을 줄인 형태로, 많은 비원어민이 정확하게 소화하기 힘들어 하므로 연습이 필요합니다. 영어 발음 교정을 위해, 비디오를 반복해서 듣고 따라 해보는 것이 중요합니다. “hold on”과 같은 표현도 특정 상황에서는 다르게 들릴 수 있으므로, 문맥 속에서 반복적으로 연습하면 발음과 이해도를 높이는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
