- Join my British Pronunciation Course: www.etjenglish...
Today we're learning better ways of responding to "how are you?" with perfect British pronunciation and intonation. So many of my students only know "I'm good" and "I'm fine" - but are these the most common things for natives to say? Let's find out!
Remember, you don't NEED an RP British accent to speak English well... There are loads of accents out there! I'm just here to help people who have a love for modern versions of RP.

After a horrible week in Chile, the only things that bring peace and joy to my soul is the sound of your voice.

I’m totally in love with your accent 🥰 looking forward to speaking like that someday...

I hope so.

where does this BS come from?
u live in the Uk?
teecchnoboy Spain!
5:38 my life changed with that pronunciation of 'answer'
I knew tht already
that kills, it is too good to utter these kinds of accent, no matter it is RP or northern UK accent, albeit the Welsh accent is indecipherable
Omg, I have huge problem with this. Especially when I’m in a shop and the cashier or just worker sees me and say “hey, how are you” and still doing stuff without looking at me. I really never know how to behave, I’m so confused 🤷🏼♀️😆
that's so true!!!
Hi
Yes it happened to me too, many times! I just say the same thing back to the person, not sure if it’s correct to do that??🤔
A lot of times when "How are you" is asked, the person asking doesn't actually expect an in-depth response. This is especially true in the scenario you've just described. "Good. You?" would suffice. They don't really care. It's just automatic for them.
just carry on shopping when they ask this and respond with an answer its more a greeting than the fact they care how you are.
My god !! I am not native but I can understand what you are saying.You speak clearly so,I love it. Thanks man
"The problem is in school for non- natives"
Finally someone understands,thank you,mate😇😇😇😇😇
Thanks, it's really useful. You know every time my classmates ask me 'How are you, I just feel embarrassed. Because I can only reply 'I'm fine, thanks'. After watching this lesson, I can handle this situation~Thanks again😁
Wow. Your English is amazing and really really helpful for me. I've been interested in English for 2 years, but only in last months I'm really happy to learn this language. Watching these videos and listening your beautiful British accent is one of the best ways to rest for me. And I'm learning more. Thank you so much! Kinds regards from Poland 😄
I love how you express everything with emotion! 8:30
I have been living in Leicester, UK for 1 year. And since I arrived I always followed your videos and you were my great tutor. Cheers.
I hear your voice in my head, even after the course, You are a genius in helping to a better pronounciation. Thanks
You know what brought me here? I am a dental specialist resident, specialising in rehabilitating patients with intraoral defects, leading to speech dysfunction (apart from myriads of other problems). I was searching articles related to my research on this topic, and youtube suggested me your videos. I can see why, because you talk about pronunciation and how tongue plays a large role in it. Let's take a moment to thank God for every muscle, bone and nerve that allows us to function, speak and communicate without even realising.
Looking forward to joining your course someday. I was really over the moon to find exactly what you've taught us in my university course, I was like: that's totally what Elliot taught us, and it really has been a great help up till now. You're really a great teacher with a fantastic accent, and I'm so grateful that I've found your videos.
Well, I've been teaching English for more than 7 years, and everytime I ask my students (how are you?) They would answer only (we're fine thank you and you?) . I will teach them all the alternative answers 😁. Thank you Eliot .
Hi Elliott I'm from Italy and I really appreciate your videos and your podcast.
In the first place ,I'm just 15 and they are so helpful for me.Since I started following you, my English teacher began to congratulate me for my pronunciation.
So I want to thanksgive you for that;but please try to make more videos!
LITERALLY THE BEST RUclips CHANNEL
Hi, Eliot, I’m over the moon, hihi, your job here is very useful and well done; best teacher on the net! I’ll vote for you!
Agreed
Amina yeah was great
You're great!
I love watching you're videos. It helps a lot.
Indeed!
Fully agree.
Thank you for this video, Elliott. I'm studying to become an English teacher in Germany, and I'll make sure my students know these more authentic answers as well! 😊
The reason why I never thought about using "not bad/not too bad" it's because, in Italian, it would convey the idea that you're not that fine, the nuance is a bit negative . But good to know that it perfectly works in English~
-come stai?
- non c'è male.
Correct?
Greetings from Rio!
@@eliasleq wow! Va benissimo!!! Of course you can use it!!! It's a pleasure to know someone's learning italian too~
Ciao Rio😊

I'm from PH and I was looking for british accent tutorial, luckily I found the best teacher!!!
I'm cool，I'm sound，I'm sweet，as a learner from China，those expressions is really novel for me，it has another meaning if we translate it into Chinese directly.
Your content helps me to develop my British accent when I talk to my Clients. Thank you!
I've recently moved to London and I can hear people using loooots of these: "like", "it's like" "kind of", "for example", "FAIR ENOUGH", "yeah", "cool", "cheers", "alright", "hiya" (instead of "hi" or "hello"), and many more... Do you think these words are being overused by native speakers? :D
I think the "like", "kind of" thing is really most used in American English... horrible! :D
😂😂😂
It's habitual thing lol
I really don't like it when people say "like" a lot in their sentences. Ironically I've started using it quite a lot too 🗿
Thank you my friend for this lesson.I am very happy to hear you, Ali
Hi mate ... I see yours videos from Argentina 🇦🇷..

I'm learning British accent and your videos help me a lot thank you and love from Turkey 🇹🇷
Just on my birthday... how blessed i am🦋
I´m from Peru.Beutiful british accent.I like it. You are the best teacher.Thank you so much.
Top man 😬 your videos are so professionally made and, I believe, extremely useful for students of English as a foreign language ... I’m in the process of switching jobs and getting back into English teaching which I did, on a freelance basis, in Italy years and years ago. And, no doubt, I’ll get my own students to have a look at your channel.
Plus it appears you have cats lol and I’m a cat crazy man 🐾🤣.
Perfection brought to planet earth lol. Thank you Elliott!
Amazing comment)))
I've never leave a comment her but, I'm so charmed by your accent that, I wish to go farer in my english learning.
I spoke english with a perfect american accent but, living then in Europe, knowing british people not so kind with the way I talked, I tryed to speak more british without any results. At the end I didn't know how to speak...
Now I'm very motivated to do it.
Otherwise, my congratulations for the short longer of your videos, 10 minutes is perfect, we can follow you day by day.
Thanks a lot,
Good teacher. One of the best in YT, absolutely. Thanks you for this excelent job.
Hahaha, I'm from America and when people ask me how I'm doing, I reply with "Not bad, and you?" Or "Not bad, how about you?" Which means to me or at least how I mean it or how I assume they will take it, "I'm not too bad but not too good either". And most people do take it like that because they usually respond back with "Awww, I hope everything gets better" or "Oh, well I hope the rest of your day goes better than it started out" then we will usually both say "Thanks, have a good day". But that's just me and most of the people in my immediate area. Most other people will respond to "How are you?" With " Good and you?" Or something like that. By the way, I'm from South Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, America. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this subject, you seem to really know what you're talking about so I'm sure that people learn a lot from your courses. I know I certainly did, so again, thank you. I didn't really need it but it's always interesting to me to learn how other countries, states and different regions or areas in general speak.
How about other ways to say thank you and synonyms of "you are welcome"?
I really appreciate the effort that you make to teach English to people from all over the world.
Hey
Man, you are amazing, I watch your videos every day and my pronunciation has improved
Have been using this phrase; "I'm over the moon" and its awesome!! Thanks ETJ
Yes when I started teaching English in Ukraine (completely in the deep end I’m afraid) I had a pre-warmup to ask students “how are you” or “how are you feeling today”. And they would all answer “I’m fine” every time. This video was helpful thanks
Very charming presentation, and also very informative. I originate from Lancashire so it gives me an insight into the the southern English method of expression. While Lancashire is less taciturn than Yorkshire I feel we still sound a little unfriendly (monotone speech) to other counties. So this tutorial really helped me to see how intonation affects meaning.
I really feel over the moon when I find a British English teacher
I use to say "Everything's fine" to the customers asking "how're you today?"
I love your voice, your accent. I hope one day I could also have such a good British accent like you.
It would be interesting to listen to a conversation between two people who don’t know each other or who have just been introduced by a third person. Casual everyday English chats...... 😻 Thank you so much!
Hi mate, hello from Florida, U.S.A. I love the British accent and I'm working on it! Thank you for sharing, love all of your videos 😊🙏
I've fallen in love with your voice 💕 I wish I could speak with that accent.
Thanks for your lesson!!
The most interesting and very well explained lesson form the phonetic point of view! Thank you very much! You are great you know emphasise our issues as foreigners, sometimes like ''complain'' we don't know exactly what we mispronounce.
Hi there!
I've also heard expressions like 'Nae bother' or 'I'm grand, thanks'
But they are probably more common in Scotland and Ireland.
"No bother" & "Grand, thanks" are both alive & in use just a few miles from Manchester too, so not just a Scots thing.
I am 15 years old, and I have studied in Cambridge school in the UAE, and I am looking forward for studying pharmacy in Cambridge college, and your lessons are helping me being an advanced English speaker, Thank you so much
Hello,Elliot. The lesson was very useful for me. Thank you very much! I'd like to learn more about different ways to say hello good bye. I really like your lessons and look forward to hearing from you.
Omg.I'm over the moon the learn English with you here. I love British accent 😍 Thanks a lot.You are the best teacher ever.
Hi, just discovered your channel, and find it really useful, thank you for providing the great contents.✨✨
A new subscriber from Tokyo, Japan.
Hiya, Hope you doing well. I Indra, working for UK clients & was looking for some British Native to brush up my English & Sound. I loved watching your all videos and these keep inspiring me. All i wanna say. Some people remember you not because you've done something for them, but they remember you because, you've done something for yourself and that inspired them. Just like my initial line in this comment! You keep inspiring me and all of us. Love from India 🇮🇳 Cheers Mate ❤️
Loved the participation of your cat in this video😅💟
Hi. I see myself speechless sometimes when the conversation ends. I wish to have more expressions to end it in a British manner. Thank you! I love your videos!
Such a great video, think I will apply this to my Indonesian students...
Whenever I need a daily dose of how to be an 'English' (native speaker) all I need to do is to visit ETJ english and voila I 'got' it again! You give a single content/ topic and yet lots of lessons are in it! That's why I personally enjoy your channel and your podcasts as well! #CheersMate
Hey, Elliott. I want to thank you for uploading these tips. They are helping me a lot as I am absolutely in love since always with British accent, but unfortunately can not afford your course :/
I watch all your videos and use them on a daily basis at work ^.^
Thank you very much for your time and for the free content.
Hi Elliott! Thank you very much for your videos, they help us a lot!!! As for your question - I and other students use "good" and "nice" to much - I mean we do not know enough adjectives to express our attitude to something and emotions. Thank you very much! You are COOL!
Słuchanie tych lekcji i patrzenie na Twoją mimikę sprawia mi ogromną przyjemność. To jest wciągające
I teach my students in my grammar class this little tips as well. I enjoy this lesson.
👌
HI Elliott. I always love your lesson. Your video makes me relax. cheers mate xoxo
Hi, Thank you very much. This video is really useful for me.
Love this video!! My students always say 'I'm fine, thank you'
Thank you Elliott! You are the best teacher! Now I speak British easily😁
You're amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Hello, Elliot, I am indeed happy to come accros with your course which I was looking for long time... Whatever you are explaining and teaching is so clear and simple. I have tried quite a few things to learn British accent, none successful! Learning British accent seemed to be too difficult and impossible for me before, but with your videos it seems visa-versa : it is difficult but possible!!! Thank you, I will be following your videos with a great pleasure and I hope I will catch yup your accent
Your cat was trying to interact with us. 😂
Yeah, it was saying "I've been better"😆 "now feed me, human" 😆
The cat... lovely!!!
Hi Elliot 🙋🏼♀️
Awesome , thanks a lot
I literally don’t fell well , I’m under the weather 🤒
His voice, his accent ❤️🥰
That cat sound 😂
I don't laugh a lot but that made me laugh so hard 😹
Meow
I am hungry
sound needy and desperate for attention hhh

Best teacher I've ever seen
Me: how are you?
My friend: hanging in there.
Me: nice
😂HAHAHA FINALLY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO USE IT
I am from Bangladesh.....am your biggest fan of your accent you pronounce... Thanks a bunch, sir
Dear Elliot, it would be great, if you could make a video on different ways of asking “How are you?” and how to answer these questions. For example, how to answer “how’s it going?” or “what’s up?” etc. Thanks for your hard work, you are really helpful.
I love your teaching English. I have always learned a lot from your videos.
Thank you so much,Elliot for making such a useful video! Recently I was getting tired of responding “I’m good,thanks” however I couldn’t come up with good alternative way for it at all by myself 😂 I’ll try to use them from tomorrow!
Considering I passed CPE I think I'm not too bad ;-) Just have a request on behalf of my students, who all study to become chefs. I think they would really love a video on kitchen slang and phrases.
First person that I understand totally, from the beginning to the end!! Your english is beautiful and your voice is spectacular, do you sing? hehe!
Hi Elliot. I am from Romania, I understand very well, because you speak with a nice accent, very clearly. Thanks a lot.Gladys
Wow this is my first time here. This is insane! I don’t really want to learn but wow this was fascinating! 👏👏👏 Good luck!
Your podcast is fantastic, I love it. But I think that is too short, if you can do it more longer it would be great !!. It's so good hearing you to talk about your trips. Of course, your RUclips channel is fantastic too
Love it how we say it with emotion ❤️
Tommo boy have got a wonderful accent too... Mesmerizing it is..
Hi Elliott, I appreciated it when you mentioned the connected speech. Is it possible to have another video for connected speech? I really want to know if there're rules for when to connect and not.
Teacher, i totally like to listen you speaking Britsh English.
Love your british accent
melody querubin perhaps because he's English? 🧐
@@hangoorhuis1033 british english
melody querubin well there is only one English imho Americans speak a peculiar derivative of the original
And here's me a fully native British English speaker watching these videos with the curiosity as to the elements that are unique to Bringlish XD
When people ask me about how I am, I say "I'm happy. How are you?"
Thanks
The way you speak and you control your voice is really fantastic.further , it's more clear, As i see, anyone can easyly get what you teach and say.Thanks a bundle .
When you answer "I'm sweet" to non native speaker, don't forget to explain where you've got it. Cause I'm sure they will paint the whole unexpected picture about you.
Back at school we were taught that "not bad" means stioc response to some catastrophy happening in a person's life: that either the person is dying or some of his relatives, so I tried to avoid it by all means))
Talk about the “Mate” expression
Thanks for the lesson, much obliged from Casablanca Morocco
The cute CAT joins the class. Cool~
He's a gem
Ohhhh Elliott, i love this topic, even that's a part of my daily practice, I'm still so confused about that...thank you for sharing!! if people just say "you alright" briefly and pass over quickly or not see me (feel like one word, meaning "hi"?), how do we respond? do we have one word to respond to? like "good" ? or we still say "yeah, not bad"?
It's very useful for me. I face this problem when my teacher asks me. I always respond by '"I'm fine".
Really amazing! I love this very specific pronunciation help and those small expressions for everyday life!
You are a great teacher of English Language , hope to learn more
My first reaction would be “dO i kNoW yOu?”
Hi, this is a useful video.
I would like to learn about the British English small talk in daily life. If you could make a video series that will be of a great help. Anticipated thanks.
