I want to agree with most of the people. If every native person would speak as good as you, life for us, non-native people would much easier. It's such a pleasure to listen to you. It's funny how we understand more, pretty much all, but can't pronounce or just dont remember all. I wish I could have a friend like you. Shame that I didn't see your channel before. 👏👏👏 respect
Oh Lucy, I'm absolutely positive that conditional tenses in your interpretation is exactly what a lot of people would learn. It would be great to watch such video.
Am I the only one that really enjoys the beginning song 😂 Btw Lucy you are an amazing teacher and you inspire me
Hey! We too in India use 'umm' or 'hmm' sometimes even 'aaa' sound with mouth shut while thinking, but while conversing in English we mostly use 'well' a lot😄☺️
I can't continue conversatinons well even in my native language, so your today's lesson was really helpful for me. Especially, that "What do you do" is bad gave a new light to my eyes. I'm looking forward to your next lesson.
Honestly speaking, I don't produce any sound while thinking as I often speak out loud my thoughts! Sounds strange, I know. And this is happening over and over again since the lockdown has started. I look forward applying these conversational skill secrets although at.... 6 feet distance. I owe you one, Lucy. 😉🇮🇹
I always think that the answer about lottery tells a lot about the person. It's a good way to see if people are more about themselves or about others. And you answered that you would do something for your parents first 😉

You're really an amazing English teacher to help people learn & love English. And, I'M one from those people. After watching your videos, I can make out that I'VE improved myself in English. So, thanks a ton, Lucy.
Well, I am from India. As in India, we have various languages, cultures etc., we poses differently in same situation. If you ask me, as I am from Kolkata, West Bengal, here, we usually sound like "hmmmm" and pause for a few seconds... We don't open mouth while thinking. Most of us follow this way... But, as you know, every human is unique, one can't stick to any particular way of expressing the feelings. And, in the end, I do want to thank you for your videos, these are really very helpful to a many. Love from Kolkata, India.
As an American, in reference to the "What do you do?" question, they were probably waiting for more. Such as "What do you do for work?", or "What do you do for fun?". I hope that helps explain why there may have been confusion. I do love your videos!
Really thank you Lucy, I've been giving some conversation lessons to a friend of mine lately and definitely needed to watch it❤️
I love the way you teach your lessons because as a teacher you get to your point straightforward and the secrets and tips that you give are very helpful and I always keep them in mind when I discuss with different groups of people Great Job!!!
Tip #4 is very true! I think most people, especially in interviews or even on a normal day, get stuck in a conversation because of the lack of adequate words to be used in sentences. To improve my conversation and vocabulary skill, I have been learning new interesting English words and decided to make a video for everyone to watch as well. :)
Okey, I am on the third point, where Lucy talks about Spanish culture and I have to say that I, as spanish, totally agree with this fact😂! Saludos desde País Vasco 😘
Hi Lucy and everyone. In Spain, we do say 'eeee' instead of 'aamm' when thinking aloud. It's true that our vowels 'a' and 'e' are pronounced with an open mouth. But, I want to point out that the level of loudness and openness of the mouth depends more on the person speaking habits. Your example is definitely informal and not common in situations where a higher register of language is used. Thanks for your videos!

I agree. Some people just forget what he-she was talking about and says, well, "esto" or if they talk very quicky they use tails like and so, "y tal" , "you know"... Well. Anyhow, it's different from Oh I see! or Ah! E.g., I'm waiting for my dentist, so I have now the habit of puting my hand above the mouth, for if I have forgot my artificial tooth that day, or try to use a handkerchief (imagine how difficult it is pronouncing any long word both in Sp or Eng; blasted artificial tooth). Well, it depends, Lucy, today's not my day. I'll answer you tomorrow when I had thought of it roughly.
I think the most difficult thing about learning English is having a conversation without getting stuck.

Apart from her explaining different aspects of english language what i like your face while speaking. One of the reasons i am on this channel ❤
Thank you so much for the lesson. Is very helpful. I am learning English and these are things I never think before but compliments like that are very foreign to me. We don’t do it in my language too much. But you are helping me very well to learn to adapt. Thank you Ms. Lucy!
thanks lucy! for bringing positive conversation tips and tricks. your teaching is not just English, but positive mindset too!
It's so lovely watching you, lady. it always gives me a new level of confidence of public speaking.
It is hard to pick my favorite thing about you; your enthusiasm for teaching, your grammar knowledge, your sense of humor, your beautiful british accent, or of course, your elegant and gorgeous persona. I enjoy every of your videos.
Great video again! There are so many things and phrases you're teaching that are not taught in regular schools, amazing! :) Thank you so much!
I’m really interested in lesson about how to express love feelings to your couple, cuz I can’t find enough adjectives and idioms to express all gradients of love.

Oh, you're so right about the schwa sound whilst thinking. It is really normal in Chile, which is where I'm from. Very helpful to know that fact about UK conversation skills. Love your lessons Lucy!
Hey Lu! I'd love it if you post some videos on conditionals, tenses, etc cuz I've been struggling a bit with them at school. all the love-
Hi Lucy! I started to watch River Cottage because one of your lately uploaded video, and, omg, this is AMAZING. I'm not keen on it on my mother tongue but I definitely like it in English. Thanks for the recommendation! 💛
Hi Lucy, it’s 1:30 am in my country and I can’t help watching your video, as it is so interesting and useful that it’s taken over my tiredness! Thanks a lot for your precious tips, you’re a very good teacher, who is capable of making topics easy to understand, motivating her students with a positive attitude and always offering interesting viewpoints to think about more in depth! Keep up the good work, you’re great!! Goodnight and lots of love from Italy ❤️

I'm from Russia. In Russian we used to say "эмм" and "э" sounds to show that we're thinking. Also we use the "хмм" sound (I know a lot of foreigners are using this sound too) meaning we're thinking that if a certain person (it may be a friend, a relative or just a person we know) suggested us something interesting
