  • How would you respond to the simple question "How are you?" A generic "I'm fine, thanks" is the kind of answer we've all learned at school. In reality, native English speakers find it boring and avoid using this phrase. In this video, you will find both formal and informal alternatives that you can use in daily life.

In Taiwan we simply say "Hello" to each other and if we really care, we would follow up with a more specific question. This way the one answering gets the hint that you truly want to know more about them.

    I very much appreciate your suggestions because I find “How are you?” Very frustrating question because it’s very superficial and annoying. Then again it really weeds out who are strangers and who can be a friend. Now I’m using how I respond to this question in more helpful ways. Thanks 😮🎉

    Wow I'm so excited to try that so, let's go...
    I'm very stressed out nowadays 'cuz I do 18 years old recently so...yeah, peoples around you saying that you won't be able to reach your dreams and objectives or something like that, a "pression" from the society that you NEED be someone that have more and more money, and go on...I'm not sure if a write all words right, probably not but that "style of teach" of this teacher is so funny that I think "so...why not to try write something?" so that's it!
    Thank you for ALL your videos! it's very usefull for all us! YOU ROCK!
