I want to thank you for what you do! You must have spent a lot of time looking for all those words in different movies and cutting them. I also like it how you use all the words in a context, and it's really easier to memorize the words you teach that way. Thank you a lot for the efforts you make to help us get better at English! Keep up the great work!
Hey teacher! I want to say... " thank you for your videos". I really felt very American with these expressions though I'm Colombian. I didn't know these words before. I will share these expressions with my Facebook friends who are learning American English too. English is my favorite language and once again..." Thank you!". RUclips is my English teacher now. I don't need expensive English textbooks nor English tutors; not even expensive academies to learn and to improve my English. The best of all...it's free!
Hey I’m from the UK and have friends who are from the United States, and I watch American Content so I’ve always been very interested in American Culture, so your videos are a great source of information! I can do a pretty good American Accent too, I just need to learn various expressions Idioms & slang too so I can ‘get with the Program’. Another one I’ve learned is ‘I got this!’, meaning It I know what I’m doing!’!
I enjoyed the lesson because you taught it masterfully, as you do with all the other lessons. Stay well for the world. We need teachers like you. Greetings from Lima, Perú
1.whatever/ you can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you like. 2. Sorry my bad. 3.I lost touch with my best friend./ I stay in touch with my parents.4. To plead the 5th, to not incriminate yourself. 5. I couldn't care less about what think of me. 6. I'm like yeah, whatever!!! 7. To give someone, (props) 8. John Hancock, (Signature). 9. Please don't get ahead of the yourself. 10. It's all good with me. I have to give myself a props for my accomplishment. When I came to America I couldn't read or write but now I can.
Your RUclips channel is quite helpful. I've been learning new expressions and slangs that I hadn't heard before hehe. Thank you for taking your time to teach us. Regards from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴.
It's awesome the way you explain things... and what I like about your videos as well is how you add short clips from series, movies so we can actually see and understand the context better. Thanks for taking time to create these videos and the effort you put into them. Keep it up interactive English!!!
This lesson helps open the learners' mind better and better. By learning more we improve more. For that reason we shouldn't loose touch with Interactive English.
Your Channel Wess é fantastic. I'm beginner student, intermediate level, so when you speech, ( without legend, of course) I can understand almost everything. Thank's a bunch. I'm an civil engineear in Brazil, specialist in retaining walls, structure calculations.

Your friendly teaching methodology is very helpful. The kind of expressions you are teaching with plenty of memorable examples I could never learn from dictionary as i always use one to read English. I am learning. Thank you.
I really like your lessons coz they are informative and enjoyable. Moreover, the examples you say and the scenes you get from movies to train our minds on usin' them .
You should make a video about the very versatile word "bro". "Bro!?" as in "What the hell are you doing?" "Bro!" as in "Long time no see, my friend!" "Bro." as in "Wow, I did not expect that." Etc.
I must say it is one of expedient lesson from my perspective. Cheerio for uploading such video and also you make imparting this word to put up in right sentence, that's exactly great to have meet brilliant teacher.
Holy cow! I could understand almost everything that you said without subtitles in English. You have a good diction. I wish I was able to understand other native English speakers as well. Great video! I'm gonna start Americanizing my English 🤣
Hi, Great video, thank you! I thought that ' to be like = to say ' was OK to say. The rest of the like you mention is of course very wrong and sounds cacophonic. It was a very fun way to describe like, Congrats, you're the boss!
Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. The use of LIKE is widespread, and the example you mention is extremely common and I use it the way you mentioned. And you're right, it's common to say, "and I was like (direct quote)," which takes the place of "to say." People may use this when telling a story. Just keep in mind "to be like" does not always mean "to say." (This is like the best movie.) 😉👍
Hi I can't thank you enough teacher for your videos you really help me with your videos keep up the good work. My name is Marckendy PIERRE from Haiti i I can't wait for your next video.
babe ur done. we had a relationship do good meaning get lost use it tip...Relationship. converse=relationship focus=straight ahead what an awesome teach...i just met.
First, I was like, '' I wanna hit that Like button ''. But then I thought '' let's not get ahead of myself '' and watch the video till the very end. So, now I'm like 'This lesson is like super awesome''. The thing about Jon Hancock really amazed me. Thank you very much! And one more thing. I've noticed that some young Americans often add ''.. 'n stuff or ... n' sh.t '' to every other sentence, along with LIKE
Nothing like having a native american teaching english. It Is a Lot different from learning english with a spanish speaker teaching you english as if you were trying to become an interpreter. I am giving you all the props Wess!
I wouldn' say that this lesson is the most valuable but I think it was an intriguing lesson. The video kept my attention and I wasn't bored. I hope you make a few more similar lessons. Nobody gets ticked off you if you are not always making grammar lessons. I just learned 'ticked off' from Bob, the Canadian. Have you ever watched his lessons? Do you know him?
Hello Wes,I found out your english lesson recently when I surfed on tn the web. Since I've been leaning lots of new words,expressions ,idioms from you.Thanks a lot. Warmly, Eric
WOW dude you're LIKE the best teacher I wish you were my English teacher, Im a Filipino and I often use English like everyday and I want my english to sound more "american" and this video is the best. You sound so american. I subscribed! oh btw how about these expressions: "you can say that again", " didn't see that coming", "get ahold of yourself", "oh come on!", these are expressions too right? "whatever" is my favourite I always use it coz it just sounds kinda sarcastic and I like it.
Hi Wes!!!! I Love your vídeos. I understand everything you say but when I watch TV show like FRIENDS for example , I can't understand...OMG!!!! These expressions are really useful!!! Thank you Very much. Take Care!!!
This the first time i see you here, this kind of idiomatic expressions are very usefull to english learning it is another level , i m getting it! , thanks
There's nothing bad with like really. It's an interjection which is used to moderate the flow of conversation. People like to exaggerate it for comedic or denigrating effect, but I don't see what makes it a bad habit to use it naturally. It's one of the most common words in spoken English. 'Like' can honestly be really important in the way that a lot of people speak. It's also different from the like used in place of 'think' or 'say.' Where am older person might say "so i says and then he says and then she says," you might day "so i was like and he was like and she was like." Yeah, there's a certain style of speech which is very exaggerative and associated with young people which uses like a lot, but I think its stigma has a lot more to do with the stress and intonation of it, and its heavy use of exaggerative language which does include 'like' but also things like 'literally' or 'totally.' It's really the combination of all of those things as well as the mood which is often difficult to tell (it's often meant to be a lot more sarcastic or passive aggressive by using hyperbolic language which can be difficult to get. I struggle with it myself sometimes). But all of these are used very commonly including like, outside of that exaggerative youngspeech. Like, you know?
Hello Wes im pretty thankful for your teaching for your knowledges you are doing and amazing job am learning a lot i see your videos very often to memorize it greets from El Salvador Blessings too much Wes
Like - yeah one of my friend who worked once in a huge ship and was souranded with american young men and women, she uses it a lot. She always goes like crazy. Thank you for this new lesson. Have a greate one!
Most of these are universal to English except : 4/ 7/ 8/, which took my interest. But theres other expressions that should be on the list eg at 11:03 "a long ways off" Or to "fix" a meal . Terms arent used outside of the US.
