ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
Let's talk about some expressions that are distinctly American. If traveling in the US, it's likely you may hear these expressions. And certainly feel free to use them when having a conversation with your American friends. If you read this description, I just want to give you props for being such an amazing person. In case you'd like to review, here are the expressions from the lesson.
1) Whatever.
2) My bad.
3) to lose touch (with someone)
4) to plead the 5th
5) I couldn't care less.
6) LIKE
7) to give (someone) props
8) John Hancock
9) to get ahead of (oneself)
10) It's all good.

You are an awesome teacher. In addition, you're quite charismatic. I look up to you. My gratitude. Congratulations!
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😃
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
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!
Hi Cammy. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoy our lessons. Have a a great day. 👍
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!
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Have a great day! 😊
No one wants to lose touch with a wonderful teacher just like you.great video.

We italians also use the expression" I COULDN'T CARE LESS " ( Non me ne può fregare di meno...) lol 😊
Have a happy week end professor !
Thanks for commenting & sharing with us Benny. 👍
We are Brazilians and our always to speak I don't speak english.. shuashua I couldn't care less..
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!’!
-"No, we usually lose touch a little, but then kept communicating as always. Now,however, none of us texted for six months,and I'm really obsessed with it."
-"I wish," the judge insisted, "that you not plead the fifth. In addition, I assume that if you tell it, you won't be potentially punished."
-"No, she gave him props at the very beginning of their relationship; and that's pretty sus, I would say."
-"I just need your John Hancock right here, right?"
-"It seems like you're getting ahead of yourself; if not, my bad, really!"
Thank you very much for this tip-top video!
"Although I'm like a teenager, I don't like like using "like"😊
I just think that it makes me look awkward, right?
Best regards to you and the U.S. from Ukraine
Wow, this teacher is so good.
I give him my props.
See you guys.
Warm regards from Mexico.
Thanks so much for your comment. And nice use of the expression. 👍
It's really crazy "whatever", " My bad", anything I used this word. And thanks a lot your advice.
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. Hope you learned some new expressions. 👍
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?
I think I'm getting ahead of myself studying idioms 😅
We'd never lose touch with you, Wes!!!
You're a wonderful teacher...❤
I give you props! I was like learning a lot.
I appreciate that! Thanks for checking out the lesson. 👍
You're english is so clear to understand
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 😃
You’re amazing, you really helped me with alot of things I was confusing with , 💙 I’m subscriber, I watch every single vedio you post for us .. and that’s something I enjoy it
Amazing, as always!
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson Zahra. Hope you learned some new expressions. 👍
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
I loved this lesson. ,Absolutely helpful , Thankyou Sir🥰🥰🤩👏
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for commenting. 😊
I won’t lose touch with you guys because you’re my favorite teachers 👩🏫 👨🏫 😊
I won't lose touch as well ;-)
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!!!
I need to get your John hancock right here?
I won't ever loose touch with you, Teacher Wes

Interactive English I love your the best thank you so much
You just gave him the props for his great job in this class! And I do the same by commenting.
It's curious, in Argentina teenagers talk using
a lot "like" but obviasly in spanish that is "tipo".
That's interesting. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍
Here in Brazil teenagers also use the word "tipo". Hahaha Interesting.
Very helpful vídeo thanks! Cheers from Brazil 😘
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.
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.
This could be replaced with a multitude of other words for example:
"Dude!?"
"Dude!"
"Dude."
Sir plz make a video on " new sententes"
Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson. I'll keep your suggestion in mind for the future. 👍
Excellent teacher!
Wow, thank you! 😃
I really loved your class! Ty so much 😊
Glad you enjoyed the lesson! I hope you learned some new vocabulary. 😊
Cheers teacher 😎👁👁🙏🙋♀️😁
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Thanks for commenting & have a great day. 😊
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.
