"Gotcha" also means "I understand what you said." As in, "Gotcha. Read you loud and clear."
Before everyone starts commenting about the typo - I am aware, it slipped through the net, you can use this thread to vent your frustrations. GIMME not GIMMIE :D

Dear Lucy, I grew up in Australia in the 1950s and all the words you talk about here were commonly used, mainly by children. They were not well approved and we would often be corrected when in adult company.
I first went to England in 1974 and lived there quite a bit until 1980. During that time I never heard English people use any of those words, nor did they address each other as "mate" or refer to anyone as "a mate of mine". Many people would refer to their friends in general as their mates.
On returning to England a few years ago I noticed people, especially in London, using Australian expressions such as "no worries" and calling each other mate. I was fascinated to see in your video that the English have now adopted our "bad english".
1) I gonna school with my friends.
2) I hafta watch Lucy video's, to learn new lessons.
3) I wanna more videos like this.
4) I like kinda teacher as lucy.

I liked your body language , and Good expressions you used while teaching.

DEAR LUCY, YOU WERE EXTREMELY HAPPY ABOUT THIS VIDEO. IT IS VERY DIDACTIC! CERTAINLY IS IT TOTALLY HELPFUL. I'M ENGLISH TEACHER HERE IN BRAZIL AND SURELY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WRITING, READING, SPEAKING AND LISTENING, NORMALLY LISTENING IS A CHALLENGE FOR NON NATIVES . THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BECAUSE FRANKLY SPEAKING IT HAS BEEN HELPFUL FOR ME AS WELL!!!
After months of constantly watching your videos I kinda change my pronounciation of some words and as an Asian it is noticeable whenever I read on class. Some classmates tease me for trying hard to sound native but I think I just adapt it for always listening to british english and subconciously pronounced it like how i heard it.
ruclips.net/user/shortsTQ1rh_uF7lo
It's the clearest explanation I've ever heard about how to pronounce slang reductions. Teacher Lucy, I'm very thankful.
Hi you're looking nice
'Teacher Lucy' is wrong! Explained in this video: ruclips.net/video/B8TultRu3Jc/видео.html

I didn't even know about these slangs. Thank you so much for this lesson.
This sounds like American English slang as well. Brilliant presentation Lucy.
This is American English. As a native Briton, I know that nobody really talks like this.
Thankyou so much Ma'am for making us confident enough to speak English infront of anyone.... I've got to learn so much by your videos even though I started watching your videos since the month of January this year but still have managed to know about so many new things..... thankyou 😊
What a beautiful moment seeing you and your lessons again. Corona drives me crazy since we’re asked to stay at home due the lock down in Austria. Thank you and take care love 🌹
Wht beautiful country! 🤗🤗
Thanks
She looks impeccable as always and her flawless speech is incredible.
Very kind of you Lucy. Ur teaching is very simple and a piece of cake. Thank you so much.🙏

The lesson is interesting! I really love 'reduction'!
Hi Lucy! In my country, "Musta" or in other words Kamusta, means "How are you?". Literally, British slang are sooOooo beautiful! 🤩
OMG I learn about this just a few hours ago, it’s Tagalog ( idk if that’s how u pronounce it) right ? . What a coincidence xd 😂

Me : What is SLANG?
Google : "a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people."
I heard that SLANG is a slang of 'short language'
@@catwcookie wow, I see. Thanks
Hi ,Lucy it was very informative for me, as I've never been to London. I have a passion to sound like native speaker
You're really pretty good, I loved your class. You're open my mind to learn the English language. Thank you so much Lucy.

Lucy your class is mesmerizing in RUclips ever
I remember writing 'kinda' in a classtest back in year 7 because I'd seen it on social media and I hadn't heard of 'kind of' 'sort if' 'somehow' etc before lmfao
Ohhh😲😲!...actually this is the "words" that run faster..while having conversation with 'lovely British people'...gotya😁😁😁..
The tutor is very charming. You like to keep watching her talking and smile. Very good tutorial class.
"Dontcha wish you girlfriend was hot like me?" -- Yes, I'd love! Or rather, I wish I had a girlfriend!
Fun fact: the singer actually sang this song in frunna Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. I can't even imagine her face while watching the performance.
Hehehe you're damn funny lol
“What’s up”
Even shorter, “sup”
Example: sup dog?
😂 😂 😂
Original: What is up?
Shorter: What's up?
More shorter: Wassup?
Even shorter: Sup?
More: *one eyebrow raise while making eye contact*

Thank ya teacher Lucy. You're the best teacher on the internet. Love & Hugs!
What about the reduction "Whatcha"? Usually used in place of "What are you". as in "Whatcha doin'".
Jacques Voris Not what are you but what you. Whatchu/Watcha doing? What you doing?
@@yukimoonlight7993 "What you" is not really a proper English construction. You can, and people often do, imply the "are" in casual spoken English, it is still there however. Another example would be if someone says "Howya doin" it would fully, properly, be "How are you doing"
Jacques Voris Whatcha is already informal, therefor it doesn’t have the “are”. That’s why it stands for what you and not what are you
Jacques Voris Whachu doing? What you doing? not “What are you doing?”
www.yourdictionary.com/whatcha . at least someone on the internet agrees whatcha/whatchu all refers to what are you.. not just "what you".
You missed one that is important in the circles I run in: Gangsta.
Thanks for the beautiful pronounce
As a Brit who spent most of my life abroad using other languages this was a useful reminder for me of how I should actually pronounce my native language. Thank zalot.
1) Do we hafta go to the supermarket? 2) I dunno anything about that lesson! 3) I gotcha little mosquito! 4) She wansta go clubbing. 5) I kinda enjoy myself on this place. * Sorry, I couldn't think of funny sentences *
There's also a really weird alternate for gonna which is finna. For example: "I'm finna eat this bread."
Yeah, I think that’s short for “fixing to” which I think is American southern slang.
That is only in America I'm sure. No one in the UK would have a clue what you were on about if you said that haha
Also ima. Ima upon ow heah. I'm up on out of here. This slang is no longer Southern slang, if it ever was. I heard this in Calif all the time. Watch The Wire for other.😊
Lucy, I think u got the perfect timing for teaching...never too short, never too long. Thanks a lot for that
This was really well organized and easy to to remember thank you so much for the effort 💓
12:06 says "I'm not gonna sing it", but couldn't hide the truth any longer XD
I like you so much! Because you're very nice English teacher. Thanks a lotta!!!
Hello Lucy!
I have a doubt about these reductions, do these reductions come originally from American English or do they belong to all English variations?
Hi I'm no teacher, but I'll try lmao. I'm not sure where they originally come from, but as a native English speaker from Britain, both of them use these reductions in colloquial speech. :)
These are used in all English speaking countries

- We musta stay at home nowadays because of corona virus.
- but I wanna go to work.
- My neighbor said: I betcha gonna work because there no one in the street.

Musta should actually be gotta/hafta
Thank you LUCY! Now i'm learning English.Through you I'm developing my language skills and vocabulary💖💫
She's pretty and
😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣You guys are that kind 😂 of derp
12:14 True, but there's no way I'm telling her 🤣
We use every single reduction you've demonstrated in America as well. Literally every one. I assumed there'd be at least one or two that I wasn't familiar with.
We have another that we very commonly use: "ain't". I honestly have no idea what it is a blend of. We'll use it both when speaking of others, as well as ourselves.
"He ain't gonna like that."
"I ain't doin' that."
And then there's "y'all", for "you all". It used to be predominantly a southern thing, but it's invaded the Midwest over the last twenty years, probably due to the increasing popularity of country music.
Looking for English buddy, with whom i can improve my English ✌🏻
Next 2 decade, when u seeing poeple in conversation the sound just like "hhhhhhhhhh~"
Cuz all the words is disappear.
