  • Let's see if you know these native phrases. English learners and native English speakers

  • use different vocabulary because they learn different vocabulary. In classroom, English

  • learners are usually learning more formal, textbook English, but native speakers are

  • learning the casual conversational speech that you really find in movies and TV shows.

  • So let's take a look at some things that learners say and compare these to what natives actually

  • say in conversations. The first one is, "I agree." Now, this is

  • perfectly fine to use in a conversation, but if you want to sound much more natural and

  • expressive, you can say, "You can say that again." You can say that again. So we're agreeing

  • with someone, but we're saying we agree so much that we want that person to actually

  • repeat themselves. So as an example, I might be in a room with a friend of mine and he

  • says, "Wow, it's really hot in here." I could say, "Yes, I agree." Or he says, "Wow, it's

  • really hot in here." I say, "You could say that again." You could say that again. Here's

  • some other native examples. This place was in the time of Jesus. Brother,

  • you can say that again, Dennis! The RNA World Hypothesis is extremely unlikely.

  • Yeah, you can say that again! She’s a witch. A real with, isn’t she?

  • Yeah, you can say that again. Next, an English learner might say something

  • like, "I have one more to do," and this is something you would use in a situation where

  • you're building something, making something, have a project where you're doing a few things.

  • As an example, maybe you are making doors in your house, so you have to make five doors,

  • and you have already made four, and you have one more left to make. But a very simple way

  • that natives use, and we can use this in slightly different ways depending on the numbers, is,

  • "One down, one to go." As an example with the doors, maybe I have four down, one to

  • go. So when you finish something, you have some kind of project or you're building many

  • of the same thing. If I'm making shirts in my office, I might say, "Four shirts down,

  • one to go." So down, meaning you finished that thing. So one down, one to go. One down,

  • one finished, and one left to do. Here's some more native examples.

  • OK. One down, one to go. One dream down, one to go.

  • Two down, one to go. One down, a couple thousand to go.

  • Next, a non-native might say that's rare, unusual, weird or surprising, but a more interesting

  • native way of saying this is, "That's something you don't see every day." That's something

  • you don't see every day. Now, you'll hear this as "That's something you don't see every

  • day" or, "There's something you don't see every day." So if I see a horse walking down

  • the street on just two legs and he goes into a coffee store, I'm very surprised by that.

  • I say, "Wow, that's something you don't see every day." That's something you don't see

  • every day. Now, you will hear this used sarcastically

  • by natives as well. So, as an example, if my child usually doesn't clean up their room

  • and one day they do clean it up, I might say, "Oh, well, that's something you don't see

  • every day." So I'm being a little bit sarcastic. I'm actually happy that my child cleaned up

  • their room. But again, it's something we say when it's rare or surprising. Here are some

  • more native examples. It goes without saying that this is something

  • you don’t see every day. It’s real interesting to see. It’s something

  • you don’t see every day. Even footage from his PhD viva, which is something

  • you don’t see every day. Now there’s something you don’t see every

  • day. This next one is really interesting, and this

  • is when you were talking about something that you are known for or that you are proud of,

  • usually something that you make. In the English way of describing this is, "This is my famous

  • such-and-such," so whatever that is. So you'll hear this often used with food. If I'm going

  • to a party and I meet other people there, and each person is bringing some special food

  • that they make, where they're known for, I can say, "This is my famous potato salad,"

  • or, "This is my mom's famous bread something." So whatever that thing happens to be, you'll

  • see a lot of examples. I'll share some with you now, but the point is instead of saying

  • something like this is a dish that my mother made when I was growing up. So something that's

  • a little bit longer and more difficult to say, you can more easily express yourself

  • if you just say, "This is my famous something," or "This is my mother's famous, or my friend's

  • famous something." Let's look at a few examples. We're right on schedule for my famous party

  • trick. And, of course, my famous 1982 book Negotiating

  • the Curriculum. This is my famous Egyptian-inspired table

  • here. Next, you could say help, like if you are

  • going to help someone, but a more native and conversational way to say this, especially

  • if you're talking about a group of people is, "to pitch in." Now this is a phrasal verb

  • that just means to help, but we're just saying it in a more expressive and natural way. So

  • if I'm working with a group of people, maybe we are all cleaning up the neighborhood, some

  • people come over and I say, "Hey, can you pitch in for a little bit?"

  • Pitch in can also be used for talking about money. So if you have a group of people who

  • want to buy a birthday gift for someone, "We all pitched in to buy this for you." So each

  • one of us put in a little bit of money to purchase something, to pitch in. Here are

  • some examples. We pitch in and we help out.

  • America only succeeds when we all pitch in and pull together.

  • People were very willing to pitch in and help each other out. They were very proud of what

  • they were about to establish. Next, here is a very common situation. A non-native

  • might say something like, "Now I will try something difficult." And an example might

  • be, you are learning a magic trick or some other difficult thing like how to play basketball.

  • Someone is teaching you how to do this and then it's your turn to try it. Now, people

  • usually say something like, "Okay, I'm going to try this now," or "Wish me luck," or something

  • like that, because we usually know we're not going to do it well. So, as a way of protecting

  • yourself and just making it seem that you're not so embarrassed to make a mistake as you're

  • doing something, you might say instead, this is what an English speaker would say, "Here

  • goes nothing!" Here goes nothing. Here goes nothing. So this means, I'm going to try something

  • right now and I will probably fail. But it's kind of my way of protecting myself and again

  • saving myself from a little embarrassment. I know I'm not going to do that thing very

  • well, but I'm going to try it anywhere. Here goes nothing. Here goes nothing. Let's look

  • at some more examples. All right! Here goes nothing!

  • So, here goes nothing! All right! Here goes nothing! Oh! Jesus Christ!

  • All right! Here goes nothing! 3, 2, 1… And the last one, this is a very simple thing,

  • and you will hear the word "hi" from native speakers, but often, in much more casual situations

  • and even some professional situations, people will greet each other with, "Hey." So a non-native

  • speaker is usually using more something like hi or hello, a little bit more formal English,

  • but very casually, even in professional situations you'll hear native saying, "Hey." Hey, Hey.

  • Here are a few great examples. Hey, Stephen. Hey. How's it going? Good.

  • Hey! It's good to see you! Hey, Marie. I'm at the stage in my life and

  • career where networking is super important. Hey, Larry!
