Hello everybody welcome to Let's Talk, the place to boost up your English language skills.

Future simple

My name is Michelle and today I'm going to tell you, ‘how I learned hundred new words

To-infinitive

in one week’, can you believe that? It's possible to learn hundred new words of English

in just one week. But before we find out how you can do that I want to share something

with you. So let's look at this diagram, what do you see here? There are four different

levels of English, so most people start their English learning journey at the basic level,

right? And then eventually they get to the intermediate level, but what happens here?

They get stuck and that happens because their focus is only on grammar and they forget to

learn new words, phrasal verbs and conversational phrases. So this is what you need to change,

you need to think about how you can be the very few who move to the advanced level and

not just their that you even move to the fluent level of speaking English and to do that my

friends, you need to know some really useful English words and you need to stop using some

common words which are a part of your vocabulary right now. So let me tell you how did I learn

hundred words in just one week. So let's talk about it, there are some of these words that

you can see on the screen amazing, honestly, just, that, next, small… do you use these

words? Are these common? Well I'm sure these words are super common and there was one point

in time when I used to use it all the time and then I realized that these words are hindering,

as in stopping my vocabulary from growing and that was the point I decided that I needed

to throw away, yes I needed to throw away these words from my daily conversation and

that is what we are going to do today. Today in this lesson, I'm going to give you five

new words for each of these words, okay? And that means you'll almost learn 35 new words

in just a few minutes, so imagine how much more can you learn in a week. Now let's begin

with our first word which is “amazing”. So let's now find out what does amazing mean?

I'm sure you already know, amazing is a very common word and we use it when we are surprised,

“Oh wow! You got a new car, it's amazing”, right? Or sometimes when you're extremely

happy, “Oh! You know something amazing happened with me today”, have you said that? I'm

sure. But now we need to cut out this ‘amazing’. Look at all of these sentences, I've got five

sentences here, tell me what's common? Just the word ‘amazing’, okay another amazing

and amazing, again amazing and amazing, how does it sound? Sounds boring. And your English

would sound basic when you keep repeating words like this. So what I'm gonna do is,

I'm going to help you get rid of these words and I'm gonna give you a new word for each

of these sentences. So let's begin with the first one. “It’s amazing to see you”,

right, don't you say that when you meet somebody after a long time, okay? How can you change

that? What else can you say? Well you can say, “it's wonderful to meet you” and

no more amazing, okay? The next one, “yesterday's match was amazing”, you know that moment

when in the match you're just like at the corner of your seat and you're wondering about

which team is going to win… and just in a moment the game has changed, okay because

your favorite player hit six, what's that moment called? It's more than amazing, it's

miraculous… yes as if a miracle just happened. Okay, moving on to the next one, “your speech

was amazing”, now when you hear someone's speech and you thought it was great you say

‘it's amazing’ but I'd say that you should say, “it's remarkable” yes. So remarkable.

Of course the meaning is same but it's just the impact that the word creates. Okay, “it's

amazing how much weight you've lost”, so you see somebody after a long time and you

see that they've lost a lot of weight, what do you say? Well I'd suggest that you say,

‘incredible’. “It's incredible how much weight you've lost.” “You look amazing

in that dress”, now this one is really common. People might have told you or you might have

told it to someone else, but now you have an alternative, you can say that “you look

stunning in that dress”, okay? So guys, here are a few alternatives, a few options

to the word, “amazing” and I'd say that you must add five of these to your vocabulary.

So here are five new words for the word amazing, now let's move on and find five new words

for the word “went”, now what does went mean? It's pretty simple, it means to go from

one place to another, but it is the past form, okay? So many ways to move from here to there.

Now let's look at a few sentences and try to replace ‘went’ with more interesting

English words. So again we have, “went to the park”, “went to Singapore”, “went

to the mall” and we have “the thief went away quickly” again very repetitive and

very boring. So let's look at the first one, “I went to the park”, well how did you

go to the park? You can talk about that action, so I'm sure you “walked to the park” then

why not say it, right? So instead of ‘went’ you just say “I walk to the park”. Now

let's talk about “going to Singapore” how did you go to Singapore? You must have

flown, right? Then again, why not just say “I flew to Singapore” instead of saying

that you ‘went to Singapore’. Okay, “I went to the mall”, did you take a bike?

In that case the best word is to say you “rode to the mall”. Okay, now look at the word

“Ria went to the office”, maybe she drove, quite easy. So again “Ria drove to the office”.

So what we're doing is, we're just talking about the actions we did instead of using

the word ‘went’, that’s pretty easy. And then we have “the thief went away quickly”,

you can replace this too, you can say “he ran away quickly”, I'm sure instead of walking

slowly, he ran away real fast. So this is how you will replace the verb ‘went’ with

other interesting verbs, just remember you can use the action that you did instead of

the verb ‘went’. Okay now this is ‘went’ and let's talk about the next one which is

the word, ‘honestly’. Now what does honestly mean? It's pretty easy, it's used to add emphasis,

which means “honestly, I love you”, okay? We say that, don't we? “Honestly, I'm saying

the truth”, but what were you saying earlier? Were you lying? Okay so this means that when

you add honestly, you're kind of repeating yourself, okay? You can use some other words

to say the same thing, let's find out what are our options… So let's look at these

sentences and see how ‘honestly’ has been repeated and this is quite unnecessary, here

we go. Four times we've used the word honestly, now we're going to find four new alternatives

to this word. So “honestly this shirt suits you”, okay we can say “frankly”. Now

when you're talking to a friend, you can tell them the truth, what if it doesn't suit them?

You could still say “frankly, this shirt doesn't suit you”, right? Because you're

talking to your friend, so it's better to use the word “frankly” instead of ‘honestly’.

Okay, “speaking honestly, I love you”, now when you love somebody, you don't do it

with a half-hearted emotion, it's the full hearted emotion, how can you say it? You can

say, “wholeheartedly” that means with all my heart. “Speaking wholeheartedly,

I love you.” Now, “if I'm allowed to speak honestly…” so whenever you want to say

the truth, you need to be one thing, and that is ‘free’ so did you get it, how can you

replace it? “If I'm allowed to speak freely…” Okay so before you start saying your idea,

you can start it with this sentence, “honestly, I don't trust this business idea” well over

here you just saying the truth, you can say ‘honestly’, but if you think you're repeating

yourself, you'd rather say “plainly”, which means, “quite simply”, oh there

we have another one, so just look at it, you have endless options to replace these simple

and repetitive English words in our conversations. So that was ‘honestly’ and now let's look

at how we can replace the word, “just”. Now this is such a common word and you use

it to fill your gaps, it's a filler word. So whenever you're saying something and you

don't know what to say, sometimes you add the word ‘just’ and it also makes your

sentence weaker, it kind of takes away the meaning. Okay let's look at four sentences

here and we have just here, we have just here and we have just here and here too… We're

going to cut it out and we're going to find the alternatives. So “he's just like his

father”, you could say that “he's precisely like his father”, which means a lot or nearly

like his father. Okay “he just escaped the accident”, okay so when you escape an accident,

it's always very narrow, this means that you could have almost got hurt, but you were saved…
