Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's an by trying to make it objectified , and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say

Another wonderful lesson! I really enjoyed the story - what a great way to show the phrases in context!

The story made me smile time and again 🤣🤣🤣 Great work there Ms Lucy! Tim

“Not gonna lie,” and, “Honestly,” feel redundant to me. I try to avoid giving reason for people to believe I might otherwise be unworthy of their trust. If I’m speaking, I’m telling the truth. I have incorporated phrases such as, “To put it bluntly,” or, “To be frank,” because these words indicate the choice to be more forward or less tactful with my honesty.

@janikarkkainen3904

4 жыл бұрын

For me, "To be frank" is a feels a lot more natural than "Honestly". "Honestly" either feels like you normally aren't honest, like you said, or that you are deeply disappointed in someone else's actions... "Honestly, you couldn't wait for the others to gather around before cutting the cake?"

all these phases ( not going to lie, honesty ,to be frank, in my view, to be blunt, it u ask me ) are very confrontational. ppl will be offended and defensive when u talk like that. worst case, you wont have any friends at all.

From my standpoint, I reckon that you do an absolute marvellous job, being so educational to us all!

The best video I've seen on this topic hand down. Super useful. Really grateful.

LOL I am very happy learning this stuff with such a fun story. I could feel eager to hear the next sentence. You were perfect in this class. Congrats.

I love how you made it so that the examples, as a whole, tell a story. It kept me engaged. As soon as you said "There are 21 ways....", I was about to book it. But congrats for holding my short attention span for that long.

I loved this story filled with comedic wit that had me laughing out loud. It could be the outline for a play or a movie. The narcissist was so authentically portrayed and remained true to character to the end.

I'd say I've never seen such a charming instructor, dear Lucy. I am Sooo happy you exist :-)

I often to used "I think" but now I think to use these words for commicate with my friends. Thanks a lot Lusy for lesson and very useful words I appreciate it.

Thank you Lucy, you have helped me practice my English skills a lot ❤

Being a foreign language teacher myself, I always enjoy a lot your lessons Lucy! You have and amazingly natural way of teaching. Thank you for your lovely sense of humour and for presenting us with such good ideas and tips. Maria L

Thank you for your videos! I moved in London 3 months ago but due to Covid-19 and lockdown I still have speaking issues, sometimes when someone talks to me I answer in Italian :-P ... I was used to American English (tanks to TV series and movies) but I immediately realized that British English is very different and I'm always afraid to offend someone when I speak

I absolutely enjoyed this video and plan to go back over it again to try to get the most out of the video. Thanks!

As a Frenchman I believe that, in my view, all of these tips seem very English, and I love it !

I remember an American teacher asking us whether we knew what "to reckon" stood for and I was the only one who guessed it since I'd learned it from an English friend, then the teacher told us it's used in some of the Southern states.

I found it. It is very attractive program for me. I will watch it and will pronounce every sentences over and over. Thank you.

Hi Lucy. Thanks so much for this useful video on giving opinions. I'm an English teacher and your lessons are really helpful to me. What I would like to ask you is to realise a video on how to ask somebody's opinion. In fact, as a non native teacher, I need to teach my students something different from 'what do you think of/about... or how do you find ...' but I'm short of ideas. I would really appreciate a video on that topic. Thank you in advance and God bless you.

Very well presented and I really enjoyed watching it.❤️

As far as l know Lucy's lessons are most precious for me not only because of their linguistic content but most of all because of her, I mean Lucy's, facial expressions. Not those that express general human feelings such as anger, joy, content, discontent, envy, jealousy, liking, love, hatred etc, but these that are linked with typically English way of speaking. A certain smile, a wink, a spouting, a turn of the head and such. Some gesture.... I believe its emphasis tells me more about the English than dozens and dozens other books and videos. Let's not forget that facial expression is a very impotant extralinguistic tool, a key, I would say, to the mastering of a language, and in case of Lucy, to penetrating into the English soul! A phenomenal mimic and body language! Very rare and precious! In my view she is a true English teacher!
