Did you know that even the simplest of words in English, yeah, you're learning English, you learn some words, and you know the word hello, you know the word yes, you know the word no, you know the word really, and you probably know the word...

What you have to do is know how to express yourself by using a very short vocabulary that you might have right now, and that's okay.

If you don't know a lot of English vocabulary words, it's all right.

Maybe even more important than knowing the words is knowing how to express yourself by using the simple words.

When I first popped up, how did you feel?

Did you Now, if you don't want to talk to someone, or you want to express anger, or you're mad, what you're going to do is you're going to say this word quickly in a very short time.

If I'm on the street, and I see someone, hi, and I'm very expressive and happy, and the person says to me, hello, I know right away, hmm, something's wrong here.

Because they used a very short way to say hello, uh-oh, they might be having a bad day, they could be angry or mad, or they don't want to talk to me.

That's fine, I don't care, but you have to be careful the way that you say hello to people, and you have to decide.

But if you want to be friendly or warm, what you're going to do-very easy-is you're going to extend your word.

So, instead of saying hello, you're going to expand and say hello, or you can expand the L part, hello.

It doesn't matter what part of the word you expand, you just have to expand it.

You're happy and friendly to see someone, you want to warm, hello.

And if you're kind of like, if you're just saying it like a word, I guess we could say it at a normal pace like hello.

Don't forget, it's a lot to do with your facial expressions, too.

So, when you want to seem happy, extend the word and smile.

And you might be wondering, Ronnie, what, what, why are you teaching us this?

And the reason is, I found this out through my friend.

When people came to her house, she just didn't say, oh hey, how's it going?

She had the most warming, welcoming long, hello.

It's one word, but that one word can mean so much.

Now, another example of a word, very short word, you probably already know it, is the word really, r-e-a-l-l-y.

So, for example, if somebody tells you that you made a mistake, you're like, really?

If you want to convey to the person that you're kind of angry about their...

What they've said to you, then you're going to use the very short way to say, really?

If you're surprised about something, like, really?

So, when we say the word really, if you make it short and strong, it's like you're angry, like, really?

But if you make it long and more beautiful, it makes the person more comfortable.

If somebody tells you information that you think is kind of cool or exciting, for example, oh, hey, Ronnie, yesterday I went to the store and I bought you a present.

This makes the person feel, oh, Ronnie's excited, I bought her a present.

By the way, Ronnie doesn't want presents, Ronnie wants money.

Hit the donate button at the bottom and give me money.

I will be really surprised if you give me money.

But another way you can help yourself using this word is if you make it into a question.

So, again, somebody's telling you information, and if you go, really?

When it's short, you're telling the person, like, I don't care.

As a question will make the person want to tell you more.

You don't have to worry about struggling for conversation, like, do I talk?

And then the person will continue automatically the conversation.

Now, really good example, probably the first English word that you knew and you love is the word fuck.

Now, one of my favourite words because it can mean so many things.

You probably know we use it when we're angry, like, fuck.

You get angry face, and you say it loud, and you say it in a very short way.

Now, sometimes it's not appropriate to say these bad words, so you're going to substitute words.

You can say thick, you can say anything you want, really.
