Fancier alternatives that come to my mind are " I imagine ..." " it occurs to me that...." " It appears to me that " " I believe ......." etc
-"It seemed that you had a few screws loose when you proposed to her." -"I certainly think that satisfying the following conditions is capable of promoting you in the future." -"It goes without saying that my teachers are freaking awesome." Thank you very much, wes! I sincerely appreciate your sweat, blood, and tears put into the marvelous channel "INTERACTIVE ENGLISH"! Really best regards to you and your country, from Ukraine

Recently, I reattended an English class after a significant break and during the discussion sessions, I was bothered by the fact that I had to kept repeating "I think" constantly as I seemed to have forgotten the replacements. But, I'm relieved now because this was concidentally posted at the exact time I needed it. Thank you so much for this video. Also, it goes without saying that I gave this video a like!

Thanks for another great video, Wes! Yesterday I was talking to my girlfriend for around 1,5 h and, after we finished the call, I was under the impression that I used the vert "to think" too much...and today you come with this video. Synchronicity at its best ") Also, many of the idioms I've learned in this last month with you have been showing up in movies I''ve been watching! Kind regards from Brazil!
Great lesson, thank you so much!😊

Thanks a truck Dear Wes. It goes without saying that you are a marvellous teacher and I have no doubt that you are going to conquer this sphere of English Language very soon. Earlier I was under the impression that you were just another cliched teacher but after watching your litany of videos I think I was absolutely wrong and I sincerely feel that you are going to make the same quality lessons like this and help us building our vocabularies. As far as I can tell you are just going to do this... ❤
