So many nuances… Hardly I could find them in textbooks… Thank you, Aly!

I have been learning English since kindergarten. I moved to England a few months ago, and I found this video exceptionally useful. At my workplace, I'm the only one who looks different, but luckily, people are generally nice to me. Whenever colleagues ask me, "You alright?", I try to tell them as much as possible. One day, while I was in the toilet, a colleague asked me if I was alright. I replied, "I'm good. It's smooth. My prostate hasn't enlarged yet." Oh, sorry. I wrote too much. You probably didn't mean to know how I am, right? 😂😂😂

I’m literally coping.. I graduated a year ago from college and have no job 😭😭they all want “experience”.HOW can I have an experience without a JOB??

There are many ways of getting experience. Start with something smaller but related to your degree. You can always join some non-profit organizations, work as an apprentice for less payment, also you can show them that you have a lot of experience if you show them diplomas, training certificates, etc...

In Germany all these conversations are: "Hallo! - Hallo." If you ask someone "how are you" we will always tell you how we REALLY feel - and that can be a long story😅.

Ahaha. I like it

Dude, you're killing me with your American accent (the baseball cap, etc.) As a greeting “hello” we also say “How’s it going” or “How are yah” but all we expect to hear is “okay”, “I’m good” etc., we are not expecting to start a conversation. When leaving the office at the end of the day 5:30 pm we say “goodnight” meaning “goodbye”. You are so awesome and so much fun 💙 love you Papa!

Wish they would also teach in schools the different ways to answer to that question instead of the basic I'm fine thank you 👁️👄👁️

I've realised that "How are you?" appeared during one of the plagues. People really wanted to know: "is it physically ok to come near you?". I found it out from a video on... history of coffee houses in the UK... That was the first phrase people greeted a newcomer... They were really interested whether they couldlet that person in

Great as usual, mate. You have a natural talent to make one's day😀

Dear Ali, I was lucky enough to have you as a teacher many years ago at Malvern, even then you were legendary and in a very short time I learned many things from your teaching. Ad Maiora! ❤Michela

(I'm introvert) The first example: To a person who I "Mate" I'd say anything. Be my day dreadful, dull, so-so, actually quite good or glorious - I'd tell'em. Then: I'm from a region whose dialect doesn't have a "How do you do?"-expression. That only exists in the standard language.

Great video!!

How are you doing? Great stuff! Thank you so much😊 Honestly and naturally due to the cultural gap my answer would be "as usually" or "hard to tell" or simply "not the best" because there's always a fresh juicy reason to complain😅

Omg ,I 've just realized that I have a British way of thinking with an american accent and I am from iraq 😮

This is what I wanted! I didn't know how I could respond to "How are you?" despite that I got bored with "I'm fine", thanks and you?" responding. I learned that and repeated until watching this video.

At the beginning of the video, a guy said Kishida Japan. I’m Japanese. Yes, almost Japanese students started learning English saying How are you? I’m fine.(even though really not fine). Thank you and you?

Aly, you're the best. I really appreciate your excellent teaching techniques, superior drawing skills and amazing personality. In another words, you have my endless admiration.

So far so good. Thanks, mate 🙂 Sometimes in tv shows I can hear "How's your day" instead of "What`s up" or another greetings. Is it common to use in real life?

I really like see you and take some lessons with you man

Have you decided to go or not?

Hello- I’m a native English speaker. Do you advise that I stop saying “I’m fine…Thank you… and you?” too? Or is that advice only for non-native English speakers?

Y'alright guys? 😅 It's so embarrassing that they don't teach this in schools. It really is, because greetings are literally the first thing to learn. Yet, we all end up with hello and good morning. Last month we went to the Lake District for two weeks. As per my previous experiences, hello was just fine for my daily interaction in London. But in the Lakes? A whole different world. I had no idea why everybody was asking me about my wellbeing. Also, many people there were chatty and expected an actual answer. 😂

Hey there, Papa! Alright? I'm coping yet, we're managing to cope with all of my troubled health to smile or to laugh aloud, thanks for asking 😉

awroy! nevuh betuh!

Have you got a video with UK's towns and cities names. Those are so hard to understand how to pronounce them. Like Worcestershire and all...

'Fine thanks and you' is something I hear a lot from non native speakers but never heard such expression in the States.

Prettty good . How's it going wirh u,? A warm hello from Indonesia to u all!🥰🖐

In an English lesson on a videocall, should I reply to a "how are you? " or "how you doing?" from my teacher with a final "thank you"? I would feel awkward if I didn't say it. For instance: "I'm o'righ', thank you!", "I'm good, thank you!", "doing good, thank you!", "not bad, thank you". Edit: almost every lesson has a different teacher, so we rarely know each other from a previous one.
