Thank you
You mispronounced Vocabulary, you pronunced it by the American way, 8:25.
How to join your course. I am India
You are my best online teacher ever. I've learned a lot from you and made me a fluent English speaker 😉😉🥰🥰
Having learnt the language from African teachers, I find it so refreshing to watch your lessons. You have such a pleasant personality. I am a teacher of Mathematics and Physics from Kenya, East Africa.
A lot of people prefer " got you" however, I saw a lot of native speakers say " I understand" Frankly speaking, there is no right or wrong, it absolutely depends on the person's style, or habit. Different people have different expressions.
Absolutely or u can say u hear I am deaf for corrections
Of course
Yes, it's a matter of the social context. When you boss explains something to you, "I understand the situation better now".
At a meeting or with a colleague, "Yes, I got that point. My point is about another aspect of....."
Little bit louder please
Right on!
LUCY YOU ARE THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER ON UA-cam....
“ I appreciate “, can also be used to show gratitude, I.e., “ I appreciate it !”, can be used in place of “ thanks “.
it was in her video "stop saying thank you"
My English is horrible, but I keep trying! But how nice it is to hear you talking! I like the sound of your voice. It's clean, smooth and most importantly: we understand every word spoken! I loved finding this Channel. To say that you are beautiful ... is a cliché
Your sentences were outrageously hilarious and I loved the face you made while delivering them, you are a born actress, Lucy.
An actress..or the (great) actress, Lucy..your sarcastic way is not appropriate..would you please, be polite!

Good lady should not be viewed like your statement
If I hear someone say "I realize that" or "I'm aware of that" instead of just saying "I know", my first thought as a native English speaker is to think they are upset with me for something I did or said. I hope your students don't encounter that problem.
Me too
You mean with someone you know well, don't you? What about a person you've never been with? Wouldn't it be a more polite way to approach this person?
I'm not English. And the equivalence in my language "of aware of" or "I realize" would have the same "upset" to me even more, I'd expect a curious excuse from whom is saying aware/realize. Literaly translate into English would be "badly paid people excuses". Maybe you can make up these kind of excuses and tell me the equivalence in English. Thanks a lot.
May I answer sth to you: You write Realize and Lucy Realise. More words: regconize/recognise, apologize/apologise. Could you tell which, maybe why. I don't know., whatever you feel. Thanks a lot.
@@ilkeadrall710 Now that make me in doubt, as a non native English speaker :) :)
John: So that is how the Earth goes around the Sun. Did you remember all that?
Me trying to sound cool: Not only have I memorised the information which has been verbally conveyed to me, but I have also comprehended the reasons as to why the Earth moves in such a fashion.

You are hilarious 😆
This block deserve a Oscar award
Found your videos only today. Glad I did! Congratulations. Excellent videos, been watching for the past 2 hours. English is not my native language and your way of explaining things is very good.
Brilliant tutorial.Many thanks.
Some people still in doubt....
I very much appreciated your way of teaching Lucy.
As you have shown formal English informal English and slangs.( Slangs with friends).
Those expressions are a very useful to know people's backgrounds where do they come from. And people's attude towards to you too.👍👍👍👍
When you explained your reason for saying I know by stating the reason for the video is help us expand our vocabulary, I also had an ah ah moment like ‘ha I get it’
Lucy, thank you for your videos. English is my first language and I still find your content extremely helpful
I really love learning each vlog you produced ma'am lucy 💗
Thanks for enriching our vocab by adding so many alternatives for "I know". Original sample sentences as well!! :)
I just say "I see", "ooh I see", "aah I see", "Hmm I see" 🤣🤣🤣
you see a lot
'What' are you seeing?
Me too... I'm confused whether I've to use oh! I see or Oh my god!!I see
Korean always says aaaa, ahaaaaa, oaaa, aaaaa you can say like this instead of i understant
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 , whom ur seeing????
One of the best videos I've seen on this subject. Thank you!
I appreciate your effort of making this awesome video over avoiding use of "I understand or I know" in formal communication especially with boss or senior.
The advice to listen-while-we-read works for me. When I pick up something difficult like Shakespeare, after years away from it. It helps me create the scene, in my mind. as well as help me with some of The Bard's obscure wording.
just say, "DUH!" simple and direct.
Billie eilish.. Bad guy
You’re contributing me a lot in terms of realizing subtle differences amongst similar phrases. Many thanks and hope you keep uploading videos like this.
Never imagine there are 20 ways to express I know 😂
Yes there are!!!!
Been there, done that. 😉
She is a sea of words and she teaches their perfect synonyms. To have a treasure of vocabulary is a great idea. Learnt from you a lot, really.
I can't help myself to "acknowledge" that Lucy is the prettiest english tutor I've ever seen!😍
I’m always excited to watch your videos! I love English and I like improving it with your wonderful and helpful videos ))
I am also big fan of her, can we both practice with each other
Thank you , having good conversation with modest phrases will help in diplomacy when somebody is aggressive.....I learned a lot from this video.....To handle a conversation smoothly.....Thank you
The best educational channel I found for improving my english..thanks a million Lucy!!!!!
after seeing this video, what i remembered is only "I know" and "I understand"
I don't blame you 🤣. That's really hard to remember all those words.
that can only mean you lack any practice with native speakers
Thiago Ratis I agree
We need to write them down and read them, use them daily
Use them even for no reason 😂
Princes Lea: l love you
Han Solo: “I know.”
Lucy: DO NOT SAY 'I know' or 'I understand' - there are MUCH better alternatives
Me: I SEE...
edit: Since it got some likes I'd like to thank Lucy for sharing a lot of useful words and phrases. I love you 💕
Hehe

It's a great video, thank you. I really like the example sentences. Also I'd like to thank you for your dedicated work. Keep up!
Thank you Lucy, I love your "learning English with attitude" approach - and this lesson could be subtitled "how to speak English ironically" (and I actually don't mean any of this ironically, I do enjoy your not-so-subtle barbs at your previous employers and co-workers!)
"Ah *I see* , you are a man of culture as well."
She would tell you " that would imply you ah being friendly ta them, please be shor to offend them with yor ruply"
Thanks for making these videos, Lucy! Really appreciate it💖
Your lessons are always very useful.I never miss them. Thank you very much ma'am.
@tq
I appreciate the point of putting "I know" in that list.
Hi Lucy, I am so thankfull for your lessons. I used to watch your films during my cardio training. I was always curious about your publications. Every training except condition was giving me better command of english. It was really satisfactory combination :)
Correction *thankful.
Thanks Lucy!! This video is very helpful❤️❤️
I find these videos so helpful!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
You're so right, on this one. I keep telling my lads very important stuff and they're just like, "yeah, yeah, I know, I know". Problem is they don't know 💩
Omgosh...that just struck my truth bone!! Lol! I wish I had a penny for every time my sons said..."I know." And, as you so aptly stated, they don't know 💩! Yet.
I know, right? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Haha.. My friends too.. Actually they don't know 🤣
I'd never miss a class if you are the teacher, darling.
Ahhh you should see balkan girls when summer comes.... Really.
I see, what u mean. 😆
Ok, what's going on here?
@@ikeepscreamingbutgodwontan3132 alright 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Notif squad! 🖐️ A great time to learn during quarantine 💡
I literally subscribed after your first sentence. Even though I'm British I need to do get this right in my professional life.
I use most of the examples that you have explained. Thx Lucy great teaching as usual!
Your sessions are really great and helping my kids and myself to improve their English. Great job. Thank you very much.
What sounds impoliter? "I know" or "I totally comprehend", if you have an informal conversation?
For some reason in America “ whilst “ is replaced with the word “ while “. Whilst is rarely ever used in American English. The same with “ surname “ is replaced with the two words “ last name “.
This is fantastic and helpful to enrich our vocabularies 😍❤😍
Thank you for giving us alternatives to reply in conversations rather than the usual term we use
There's nothing wrong with saying 'I know' or 'I understand ' Lucy. As a native English speaker, I use most of your alternative suggestions, but in some circumstances they can appear overly formal, or even make some people feel you're talking down to them.
Could you please make a video to explain the English tenses? 💜
Love every example you made, so funny!
Hi. I'm arabic. I'm interesting in English Language. I want to learn it. And I chose british accent.so your videos are helping me so much. Thank you
You are my best online teacher ever. I've learned a lot from you and made me a fluent English speaker😉😉🥰🥰 now I am preparing myself for IELTS exam again 🙂🙂

6:50 - Snarky... but I feel you (I'm pretty certain that's an American saying). Good show, Lucy!
It Sounds Like "Indian Slang", i mean..🤣🤣 Just Like "i See you", or i can Dive in you'r Soul...
I've been searching for a lot over internet for best source to learn BE and I realized that this is pretty good one compared to others.
Thanks a million for uploading such transformative and educational content. ..may GOD bless you
Monica Geller kept saying „I know!” and this is legendary ;)
I love u
o.m.g....:) but sorry to say that she 's American
"couldn't sign your check ... I was on a yacht and the wifi was terrible" bad boss alert.
Thank you. I understand, how good to know all this words and phrases)))
I'm an English teacher and your lectures are helpful for me.
I will continue to use "I know" and "I understand" in conversation.
I understand.
Me too
I know!
Gotcha 😂
I’m certain that you will.
The examples are so hilarious.
I really like how you let me never forget the words that I learn!
Love you Lucy
I appreciate this presentation, Lucy
I would probably have gone to school if i had a teacher like you, very good & very funny.
Such bitterness in the sentences choosen as examples, I laughed a lot while learning things. Thank you.

If a friend or coworker tells me I’m a loser just I say I won't go to the party, my social anxiety will worsen.
Hey Lucy,You've helped me to take my English to next level
Really a good service !. God Bless you!!
Regarding the usage of “like”, it would be nice to hear a lot of people be more authentic. I was like...so she was like...and then we were all totally like.... The usage of “Perfect” is another. Is it working a little better now? Yes, it is working a little better than it was. Perfect! Is the food hotter now? Yes. Perfect!
Thank to you 😍 I’ve learned a lot from u and I also get inspired by you to make my own channel and try to practice English on my channel about Vietnam, vlog and other stuffs
Your English skills have been improving video by video, I’m impressed 😮
Nguyễn Minh Tiến Hi, I'm from VN too 🤣😊, nice to meet u
Greetings of me..

Your voice is calm and smooth, really enjoyable to listening,my heart is melting when you laughing, Ufffffff Ghoshhhhh.......I love the way you speaking
Hi Lucy. Thank you for this amazing video. Could you please explain what's the difference between "I did notice" and "I noticed" and when we use them? Thanks in advance.
You can say it either way. There's not really any difference.
Hello from France Lucy! Thank you very much for the video ❤️🇫🇷 Btw I like your make-up 😍👌
U r more intrested in her makeup 😂😂
I like a smart teacher like you
Where you explained simply and i am easy get it, God bless you hallelujah 🙏❤

Haha, Lucy's examples are really hilarious, always imply disagreement, but so true😂
Me: Watching this video
My friend: texts me on Facebook messenger....
Me replying the text: I know right!
I thank you, so much. What a great lesson!
The first time to see. Very useful & interesting for what we really want to know & usually use in daily life. So much thanks😍.
Her: How are you?
Me very English : As fine as a cup of Darjeeling tea.
Don't you wanna make a podcast where you teach english? I think that'd be a perfect way to learn english during cleaning or driving car etc.
