Hello everyone and welcome back to Everyday English Room.
2
I'm Sarah.
3
And I am Sam.
4
And Sarah, I need your help.
5
Like, immediately.
6
What happened now, John?
7
Okay, so yesterday I had a job interview.
8
And the interviewer asked me, what do you like about marketing?
9
Okay, good question.
10
And I said, I work like a marketing manager at my current company.
11
Oh no. What?
12
What did I say wrong?
13
John, you should have said I work as a marketing manager, not like a marketing manager.
14
Wait, what's the difference?
15
Like, I'm so confused right now.
16
And you just said it again.
17
You said, like, I'm so confused.
18
I did?
19
Oh my God, I use like for everything.
20
Don't worry, you're not alone.
21
Millions of English learners confuse like and as every single day.
22
Please tell me I didn't ruin the interview.
23
Well, let's just say today's episode is going to save your career.
24
Oh no. Today we're teaching you the complete difference between like and as.
25
These two little words cause so much confusion.
26
But by the end of this episode, you'll never mix them up again.
27
I really need this lesson.
28
And listeners, quick note.
29
Yesterday, we made a full video about the word like.
30
Seven different meanings.
31
You can watch it on the end screen after this video.
32
Yes, check that out too.
33

42
Trust me, everyone does.
43
Everyone.
44
Okay, Sarah, please teach me.
45
What's the difference?
46
All right, John, let me give you a simple way to remember this.
47
Think of like and as as two different roads.
48
Okay, I like metaphors.
49
Wait, you just used like correctly there.
50
I did?
51
How?
52
You said I like metaphors.
53
That means you enjoy them.
54
That's the verb form.
55
But today we're talking about like as a preposition when you compare things.
56
Oh, so there are different types of like?
57
Exactly.
58
But let's focus on the comparison ones.
59
Here's the simple rule.
60
Ready?
61
Ready.
62
Like means similar to.
63
You're comparing two different things that look the same.
64
Okay.
65
As means in the role of or in the same way.
66
It's about function, job, or exact actions.
67
I'm still confused.
68
Can you give me examples?
69
Of course.
70
Listen to these two sentences.
71
He looks like a doctor.
72
Okay, so he resembles a doctor.
73
Maybe he wears a white coat?
74
Exactly.
75
He's not actually a doctor.
76
He just looks similar.
77
Now, he works as a doctor.
78
Oh, that means he is a doctor.
79
That's his job.
80
Yes, you got it.
81
Wait, so when I said I work like a marketing manager, I told them I'm not actually a manager?
82
Basically, yes.
83
You said you work similarly to one, but you're not one.
84
Hmm, no wonder they looked confused.
85
Don't worry.
86
This happens to everyone.
87
Let me give you another example.
88
She sings like Beyonce.
89
She's not Beyonce, but she sounds similar.
90
Perfect.
91
Now, she performs as Beyonce.
92
Oh, she's a Beyonce impersonator.
93
That's her job.
94
Exactly.
95
See?
96
You're getting this.
97
This is actually making sense now.
98
Okay, time for a quiz.
99
Let's see if you really understand.
100
Oh, no. I'm nervous.
101
Don't be.
102
Listeners, play along at home, too.
103
Ready, John?
104
Ready.
105
Sentence number one.
106
My brother eats blank a horse.
107
Like or as?
108
Hmm.
109
he's not actually a horse so like correct he eats like a horse he eats a
110
lot similar to a horse yes okay i got one question two i'm using this box Blank, a table Like or as?
111
Uh, the box is functioning as a table, so as.
112
Perfect!
113
The box is doing the job of a table right now.
114
Two for two.
115
I'm on fire!
116
Last one.
117
She talks blank, a teacher, but she's actually a lawyer.
118
Like or as?
119
Oh, tricky.
120
She talks similar to a teacher, so like.
121
Yes!
122
Three out of three.
123
You're amazing.
124
I actually understand this.
125
Listeners, how did you do?
126
Comment your score.
127
Let us know if you got all three.
128
Yeah, we want to know.
129
Don't be shy.
130
Okay, John.
131
Now comes the tricky part.
132
Uh-oh.
133
What now?
134
Sometimes both like and as can work in a sentence.
135
But the meaning changes.
136
Wait, what?
137
My brain just exploded.
138
Don't worry, let me explain.
139
Listen to this.
140
Do it like I told you.
141
Okay, do it similar to how you told me.
142
Right, it's general, casual.
143
Now, do it as I told you.
144
Is that different?
145
Yes, as means exactly the same way.
146
Follow my instructions precisely.
147
As is more formal and exact.
148
Oh, so like is more casual?
149
In many cases, yes.
150
Here's a perfect example.
151
At a job interview, which sounds better?
152
Okay, I'm listening.
153
As I mentioned in my email, or like I said in my email.
154
The first one?
155
As I mentioned?
156
Exactly.
157
As sounds more professional.
158
Like sounds too casual for an interview.
159
So that's another mistake I made.
160
Maybe, but you're learning now.
161
Wait, so when do I use like for like I said?
162
With friends, in casual conversation.
163
Like I said, that movie was amazing.
164
Totally fine with friends.
165
Okay, so it's about context.
166
Formal situations use as.
167
Exactly.
168
Think of as as wearing a suit.
169
And like as wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
170
Ooh, I like that metaphor.
171
Job interview?
172
Wear a suit.
173
Use as.
174
Coffee with friends?
175
Jeans are fine.
176
Use like.
177
That's so easy to remember.
178
Right?
179
Here's another one.
180
The same as or the same like?
181
Uh, the same as.
182
Correct.
183
We always say the same as.
184
Never the same like.
185
Why?
186
It's just a rule.
187
Some phrases always take as, like as soon as possible, as far as I know, as long as you want.
188
These are set phrases?
189
Exactly.
190
You can't change them.
191
They always use as.
192
Can you give me more examples?
193
Sure.
194
This is as good as it gets.
195
She's as tall as her brother, as well as we can.
196
All of these use as twice?
197
Yes.
198
When you compare equality, you use as, as.
199
Never like, like.
200
So I can't say she's like tall like her brother.
201
Please don't.
202
That sounds terrible.
203
Okay, I won't.
204
All right.
205
Time for quiz number two.
206
Bring it on.
207
This one is about formal versus casual.
208
I'll give you a situation.
209
You tell me like or as.
210
Got it.
211
Situation one.
212
You're writing an email to your boss about a meeting.
213
You write blank.
214
I mentioned yesterday.
215
The meeting is at 3 p.m.
216
Formal email to boss.
217
As.
218
As I mentioned yesterday.
219
Perfect.
220
Very professional.
221
Situation two.
222
You're texting your best friend about a party.
223
You write, Blank, I said.
224
Bring snacks.
225
Casual text to friend.
226
Like, like I said, bring snacks.
227
Correct.
228
With friends, like is totally fine.
229
Last one.
230
You're in a job interview.
231
You say, this position is the same blank, my previous job.
232
Oh, this is the same rule.
233
always as the same as my previous job.
234
Yes, perfect score again.
235
I'm actually getting good at this.
236
You really are.
237
Listeners, are you getting these right?
238
Let us know in the comments.
239
Okay, John, now let's talk about common mistakes people make.
240
Oh, I probably make all of them.
241
Maybe.
242
One super common mistake is saying, I feel like tired.
243
Wait, that's wrong?
244
Yes, you should say, I feel tired.
245
No like needed.
246
But what about, I feel like sleeping?
247
That's different.
248
That's correct because you're saying what you feel like doing.
249
Different structure.
250
English is so confusing sometimes.
251
I know.
252
Let me tell you a funny story.
253
Last month, my friend from Italy was visiting and she kept saying, same like.
254
Oh no, what would she say?
255
She'd say things like, This pasta tastes same like my mom's pasta.
256
And it should be...
257
The same as.
258
This tastes the same as my mom's pasta.
259
I bet she said it a lot.
260
Every single day.
261
Finally, I told her and she was so grateful.
262
I have a story too.
263
Tell us.
264
Okay, so I was at a restaurant and I wanted to order chicken as my friend ordered.
265
You know, the same dish.
266
Uh-oh.
267
So I told the waiter, I want chicken as him.
268
What did the waiter say?
269
He looked so confused.
270
He said, you want to be chicken as him?
271
Oh, John.
272
I should have said, I want the same chicken as him, or I want chicken like he ordered.
273
Exactly.
274
Both work, but mean slightly different things.
275
How?
276
The same as means exactly the same dish.
277
Like he ordered means a similar dish, maybe not exactly the same.
278
So specific.
279
English is specific.
280
Here's another common mistake.
281
People say, he's my friend like brother.
282
I've heard that.
283
What's the right way?
284
He's like a brother to me, or he's as close as a brother.
285
Both work?
286
Yes, like a brother means similar to a brother.
287
As close as means equally close.
288
I like having options.
289
Me too.
290
But here's one with no options.
291
Treat others blank you want to be treated.
292
Like or as.
293
Hmm.
294
Is this a famous saying?
295
It is.
296
The golden rule.
297
I think it's as.
298
Treat others as you want to be treated.
299
Correct.
300
It's a set phrase.
301
Always as.
302
What if I say, treat others like you want to be treated?
303
Some people say it, but it's less formal.
304
The traditional, correct way is as.
305
Okay, final quiz.
306
This is rapid fire.
307
Oh no, I'm nervous.
308
Don't be.
309
I'll say sentences super fast.
310
You just shout like or as.
311
Ready?
312
Ready.
313
She looks blank her mom.
314
Like.
315
Correct.
316
He works blank a chef.
317
As.
318
Yes.
319
This tastes blank chocolate.
320
Like.
321
Perfect.
322
The same blank before.
323
As.
324
Great.
325
I did it blank you showed me.
326
Uh, as?
327
Yes, exactly how you showed.
328
Last one.
329
I'm tired blank you.
330
Like.
331
Yes.
332
Six out of six.
333
Perfect score.
334
I actually got them all.
335
You did!
336
You're a like and as expert now.
337
I'm so proud of myself.
338
Listeners, how did you do on the rapid fire?
339
Tell us in the comments.
340
Did you beat John's perfect score?
341
Okay, John, you've mastered the basics.
342
Want to learn some advanced stuff?
343
Sure.
344
Hit me with it.
345
All right.
346
There's a subtle difference between like I said and as I said.
347
I thought we covered this.
348
As is more formal.
349
That's true, but there's more.
350
As I said refers back to your exact words.
351
It's like quoting yourself.
352
Okay.
353
Like I said is more general.
354
It's less about exact words, more about the general idea.
355
Can you give examples?
356
Sure.
357
Imagine you told someone, the meeting is at 3 p.m.
358
sharp.
359
Later you say, as I said, the meeting is at 3 p.m.
360
sharp.
361
You're repeating exactly.
362
Got it.
363
And with like?
364
Like I said, the meeting is this afternoon.
365
More general, same idea, different words.
366
That's so subtle.
367
It is, but native speakers feel the difference.
368
Here's another advanced tip.
369
we use such as instead of like in formal writing.
370
Really?
371
How?
372
Instead of, I like fruits like apples and bananas, in formal writing, you'd say, I enjoy fruits such as apples and bananas.
373
Such as sounds more professional.
374
Exactly.
375
For essays, reports, business emails.
376
But in conversation, like is perfectly fine.
377
So many rules.
378
I know.
379
But here's good news.
380
If you're ever unsure, there's a simple trick.
381
Tell me.
382
If you're talking about a job, role, or function, use as.
383
If you're making a comparison or saying things are similar, use like.
384
That's actually really helpful.
385
Right?
386
When in doubt, ask yourself, is this a job or a comparison?
387
Job equals as.
388
Comparison equals like.
389
You got it.
390
And remember, in professional situations, choose as over like when both could work.
391
Better to be too formal than too casual?
392
In professional settings, yes.
393
Okay, John, how do you feel now?
394
Are you ready for your next interview?
395
I feel so much better.
396
I actually understand the difference now.
397
You should feel proud.
398
This is a tough topic.
399
And listeners, you should be proud too.
400
Absolutely.
401
If you made it to the end of this episode, you're serious about learning English.
402
Really serious.
403
And you know what?
404
Even native speakers sometimes get confused about like and as.
405
Really?
406
Really.
407
So don't feel bad if you make mistakes.
408
Mistakes are how we learn.
409
Exactly.
410
Learning English takes time.
411
It takes practice.
412
And it's okay if you don't get it perfect immediately.
413
What matters is that you keep trying, keep listening, keep practicing.
414
Every episode you listen to, you get better.
415
Every sentence you practice, you improve.
416
And we're here to help you every single day.
417
Every single day.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
