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!

Watching your lessons Emma learn English is like easy.
When I was a new immigrant, I was like an idiot who had huge problems in understanding fast Canadian English but after six months I was like a different person who felt comfortable watching the news without subtitles. Thank you Emma for this interesting lesson!

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.
Hi, Emma Interesting and informative lesson about how to use 'Like'. It is useful to all learners 👏👏. Thanks and regards,

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 :)

En mi entender like lo traduzco con dos palabras: cómo,, y gustar,,, y la conversación marcha bien,,, tal vez más adelante sea necesario otra interpretación 😂gracias bendiciones
Hi, I always enjoy your videos...thank you a lot...My little English is american, but I like australian accent...Do you have a podcast program? I think more people could listen to your peograms, ( I down load podcasts and listen them where I don't have wifi)...thanks...
Cool video
Hi Emma, I really love your lessons, but see I've been searching for a good active voice lesson but have failed. I hope you read this and make a lesson on active voice.
Hey, the upper clothe you were wearing is perfect for hanging mini microphones 😊. Would you like to setup a ‘hey gentleman’ for men to learn English as ladies in ‘Hey Lady’?😅
I like to like this video😆Got it👍
The use of LIKE here at 0:48 is really as an adjective? I have my doubts. Great lesson. Regards.
Have to say thank you without paying anything for this lesson!
