How to use 'LIKE' in English (Just Like A Native Speaker!)

How to use LIKE in English & sound like a native speaker - you might be surprised by the many different ways to use LIKE in English!
I’m sure you already know that ‘like’ as a verb means to enjoy/love.
But did you know that there are 5 other ways that you can use LIKE in English - and they are especially common in informal, spoken English! LIKE can also be an adjective, an adverb, a filler word, a linking word and even, to quote what someone says, does or feels! “Like” is a great tool to help English students to sound natural when they speak English!

    It’s frustrating to not understand or to feel stuck - but you were never an idiot Tammy, just restricted by the ways you could express yourself. Since we are talking about ‘like’ it would be better (and kinder to yourself) to say “I felt like an idiot” rather than “I was an idiot”

    Hi Emma, like always - a great lesson. I lived 4 years in California and in my job I am exposed to many „native“ speakers around the globe. I learned that some words or phrases are common language in some parts of the world, while being offensive or misleading in other parts (mostly the UK). In those kind of lessons could you please mention countries or regions where words are common and can be used and where to avoid them. PS: I am German. Exposed to US, RAS, UK, NZ, and Australien English.

    It's like, when listening to you, everything feels like more clear, like I can finally be like those native speakers who like to use "like" whenever they are at a loss for words, which for me is like all the time when I'm trying to have like a meaningful conversation in English. I think I overplayed it, but I'm thinking teenagers trying to describe something and their love for "like" in every sentence. Love your videos BTW :)
