If you find yourself having difficulties following conversations between two native speakers, then learning some simple, common slang expressions will really help you understand. So, let's do it.
This video was suggested by Luisa from Italy. She is one of the students I help inside my Daily Quick Fix group. As last week, we were looking at some very common, informal slang expressions and she wanted to know more. So thanks, Luisa, for the suggestion. Luisa joined my Daily Quick Fix group a few months ago and she has made great progress.
I started Daily Quick Fix in January 2020 to help intermediate students with busy lives break that intermediate barrier and reach an advanced level of English. So if you have 10 or 15 minutes a day to dedicate to reaching an advanced level of English, and if you would like daily lessons from me delivered to your mobile, then I would love to have you inside the group. Every week we work on pronunciation, including the sounds, linking techniques, stress and intonation that will help you sound much more advanced and also help you understand native speakers more easily. You also get one exclusive video, not on RUclips, but just for you every week. And we watch a video, we learn vocabulary on a different, really interesting topic every week. You practise your listening skills and you have direct access to me via WhatsApp to ask me all of your English questions. So just because you watch my RUclips videos, I have a special discount for you for your first month inside the group. I've put a link and the promo code in the description. So after this video, click there and I would love to see you in the group.
OK, let's have a look at these must know slang expressions that I taught my Daily Quick Fix students in the group last week. Oh, and as always, this class comes with a PDF which you can download in the description.
OK, number 1: We're going to have to start from scratch. This is a mess. Start from scratch. If you start from scratch, it means you basically begin from the beginning. You could be doing a project or doing a piece of work. Let's imagine you're writing an essay in English and you write, write, write, write two pages and then you think, this is rubbish, I'm going to start from scratch. So you put it in the bin and you start again from the beginning. When I was at university, I learned Italian from scratch. That means that I had no previous knowledge of Italian. I learned from nothing. I learned Italian from scratch.
Number 2: Thanks for taking me to work this morning. I owe you one. I owe you one is an expression which basically means I owe you a favour. Thank you for doing me a favour. I owe you a favour. The next time I need to do a favour to you, to say thank you for the favour that you've just done for me. Thanks. I owe you one.
Number 3: What's up with your eye? It looks like you've been in a fight. What's up with your eye? What's up with ... Means basically what is the matter with? What has happened to your eye? OK, imagine it's black. It's got a cut. It's huge. What's up? What's up? What's the matter? What's up with your eye? It looks like you've been in a fight.
Number 4: Are you ready? Let's get this show on the road.

I am not a native English speaker, but I tend to use British English. Once I said to an American buddy of mine: "Let's get pissed tonight!". His answer was: "Why should we get angry?".
Tnx
So useful
Thanks a lot!
Not going to lie, you look AMAZING with that beard. Having the hat, you look like those street artists who draw caricatures 😂
Appreciate u
Good 👍👍👍👍 Greg
Really you are the jack of all trades.👍👍👍💟💟💟
Yaaay! I feel Students are going to be in the Zone 😁🙃
Thank's a lot Greg. I've just run into another slang expression (if this usage of the "run into " is sutable, anyway). HIT THE ROAD (JACK) :)
My dear, beloved and respected sir! I How can I join your language group?
Would you like to guide me...
"She survived him by four years". Sir, could you explain the intricacies of this grammar structure, please?
I read it in a passage last night. There was a woman whose husband died in 1727 and after the death of her husband, in 1731, she died too.
Peace be upon you mercy and blessings of God be upon you!
Hola Greg.
Felicitaciones por tu gran trabajo. Es genial.
Tengo una consulta para ti acerca de una canción de Los Beatles, Ticket to ride.
"She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care"
Ese "don't care" es gramaticalmente incorrecto según entiendo. Es slang, una forma de los años 60, una "licencia poética"? Podrías comentarlo por favor?
Muchas gracias, nuevamente felicitaciones y seguimos en contacto...
Hola José 👋🏻 Gracias por tus palabras. En este caso es un poco de “licencia poética”, porque, gramaticalmente, es el tipo de “error” que hacen los alumnos con un nivel A1-A2. 😀
What is the greatest hit of Ray Charles? Hit the road 😉
As to "beats me", I've always stressed "beats", not "me"
🙏🏼
Is start from scratch the same meaning as start from square one??
"Back to square one" has a more negative feel to it. Like, "Ufffff... back to square one, what a waste of time!"
@@EnglishWithGreg now I got it

Commercial took half of a video. Unliked.

Sir you look old with the beard
Knowing and using slang and idioms is cool, but in reality, my advice to learners is to try and express yourselves simply. Just say let's start. No need to say let's put this show on the road. Why the many words and long sentence? No point in saying it. Be precise and simple.
🙏🏼
