Heidy, we're so happy to hear that. We're really pleased our videos are helping your students. Thanks for letting us know and thanks so much for watching our videos.

Bravo Theyoutubepolyglot! And ah yes, maintaining languages becomes the battle. We hope we can continue to help you maintain your English. A little and often and make it fun - but you'll know that better than us. :-)
Hi Ilinay Ece. We don't speak Turkish, so we can't I'm afraid. However, our captions are all open for crowd sharing, so if you or another Turkish speaker can write captions, we'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much for your lesson!. It was interesting and informative. I can bet you're professional teachers. I like to lesten to English annd American accents in comparison. Are you planning to make a video on phrasal verbs in comparison, like British and American usage? It's my favourite subject in English.

Hi! I am back. Although the PureVPN account is unavailable now, I have established a new VPN on a rented server by myself. So I can watch your video now after having been blocked for almost one month.

Such a beautiful lesson... You know ...i couldn't agree with you more 😂 ...i hope u r here jay... I just want u to tell me.. What is the best way to improve my writing and reading.. 🙏🙏
Hello, Vicki and Jay! This is an awesome video! I have spotted 10 of 11 expressions. Well, I can't recall all my favorite old movies, but The Terminator is definitely one of them :D I have two questions: What about this phrase? "That's for sure" And this "You don't say" I know that "You don't say" is a sarcastic saying, when something is obvious. But still, that person who says it agrees with something. Thank you very much for sharing! :)
Hello Roman. So glad you liked the video and well done on spotting 10 of the expressions. I think you have poor taste in movies if you like the Terminator, but Jay thinks you have very good taste. 'That's for sure' is another phrase you can use to agree, and to be more colloquial, you can say 'For sure'. Jay tells me 'For sure' is a very common expression in California. And 'You don't say' in interesting. It can be genuine, but as you have noted, it frequently expresses skepticism and disbelief.
Thank you very much, Vicki! And please convey my High Five to Jay! :D And I've got one more question. How come, there is "12 ways" in the name of the video, but only 11 ways in the video itself? :)
Oh good one Rodrigo. Thank you very much for this. I just asked with Jay and he thinks we'd hear 'For sure' a lot in California. It's what they call 'Valley speak'.
Oh yes! Now that's an interesting one because does it mean I agree or just I acknowledge what you're saying but I disagree. We'll try to look at that in our forthcoming video on disagreement.
I'm not sure if this is only an Aussie thing but we have "sound effects" for agreeing and disagreeing. But I can only voice them I don't think there is a spelling for them.
In my language, it’s Ok to say “I see your point” or “I understand what you mean” when you agree with the other person. But in English, people told me not to use these expressions because they mean “I just hear you, but actually I don’t agree with what you are trying to say”! Is that true?
Oh great question Susan. It depends on the context, but yes, very often these phrases would be used to indicate you don't agree, or that you only partially agree. Full agreement is usually indicated swiftly with just one a few words. Disagreements are more complicated because we'll feel compelled to save the other person's face and avoid looking negative ourselves. We're working on another video about that now.
In case of when I can say "You're dead right there", which means I am completely right with someone's opinion, can I say "I do agree" as well, which would mean the same?
„You can say that again“ there is a similar example in German which sounds very strange 😜 here it comes: „ Das kannst du aber laut sagen“ 😂 It means in English like „You can say that loud“ - it makes also no sense in German 😂 😜👍
I would stay away from the exact phrasing of "you're dead right there" because it can mean "you are dead" if you have the wrong inflection. I would just say "you're dead right" if you add "there" it can get a little weird. And in reality, we don't really say that very often. I would just stick to "yes" "yeah" or "uh huh". It's easy to remember and sounds very natural
Hi Matt. Vicki here. Are you American? I ask because I've found I'll often say 'You're dead right there' but Jay will just say 'You're dead right'. I'm wondering if it's just our personal idiolects or if this might be an BrE and AmE difference.
Guys - @ 5:03, have a look at the english subtitles. I just watched your video on things not to say in english. I'll give you the benefit of doubt on this one hehe :) You kinda spelled Arnold's surname wrong. In a potentially insulting way... :).
A:Viki s blouse is ver nice B: I ' ll say A:the japanese girls are sexy B: dont i know it A: Donal Trump is the scariest american president ever B: absolutely A: the italian cuisine is finger licking B: that goes without saying
Oh great thought, Helen! You know we could probably make a video about just the word OK. We can use it to agree to requests, to agree to offers, and also to signal that we're moving from one topic to another.
I am terribly sorry for being so rude. Actually I did not mean anything except being grateful to your exceptional lesson. As matter of fact I have taken that expression from the series of books I am teaching. It is a pre intermediate course and it is dealing with the things we love. However, when you said it is a "chat up line" it looked it up in a dictionary and know what does this phrase mean. Do accept my apology.
Oh Amira. There's no need to apologise at all! I loved your example because it is a very common use of the 'dead' when it means completely. Please don't feel badly about it and please continue to experiment and explore using new language like this. It's the best way to learn.

Hi! Vicki and Jay! Can we use “obviously, go ahead, Of course” to agree anything?! My mother tongue is Telugu. From India😃.
Great to meet you Sridevi and great question!. Obviously could sound a little insulting there. 'Please go ahead, of course' would be more likely.
Thank you so much both of you 😄.

Oh yes, it's a great film. And a great way to practice English too Cau. :-)
One more sentence for agreement "for sure", I don't know if this one is a common sentence in america but in down under for sure it is.
