Today we have prepared for you a set of new phrases that are often used by carriers in colloquial speech.
So let's get started!
Enrich your vocabulary with English Revolution!
Conversational vocabulary -this is only 1 of the 7 parts of the accelerated English learning system that we showed at the last online master class.
If you know a bunch of words, but you do not have 6 other parts of the system. You do not know English and will not be able to communicate freely. In addition to vocabulary, you need to train English grammar. But not like many do it in courses and with tutors, in isolation from practice, studying a lot of timetables. This is equivalent to learning how to swim on tablets. Or learn to drive a car according to the formulas? Do you sail away or leave? I doubt it ...
Do you need to train your grammar naturally and regularly, like muscles in a gym? To do this, you must constantly listen and repeat entire phrases with different grammatical constructions until automatic. When you listen and repeat 10-20 phrases at the same time, your brain begins to catch the logic of using time. As a result, you not only memorize the phrase, but also imprint into the subconscious mind an understanding of the times, how and when to use different temporal constructions. For example, here's how our students do it to get the fastest results.
But that is not all. To speak fluently you need to master the following skills to perfection:
- Beautiful pronunciation. At the last master class at the end of the broadcast, in 10 minutes we set our guests the correct pronunciation of the complex sounds of English.
- The ability to write correctly and read (We often do this in real life). Agree, you need to be literate?
- Ability to hear fast speech of carriers and understand her! This skill is also practiced on the talk simulators that we showed at the master class.
- The ability to speak fluently, without a terrible accent ? (To do this, you need to repeat more often after the speakers, comparing speech, try to speak more. We also quickly develop this skill on the English Revolution simulators)
Now you know what you need to pump to speak English fluently. So don’t waste time on courses. Do only what gives the result. We tested this on 20,000 students from all over the world.
And the one who wants to go the fast way and not look for the Magic pill in English for years, can use our ready-made English Revolution system, which already includes everything that is described above. According to this system, the average way from zero to fluency in English for our students takes only 6 months. Yes, these are not years, as many are used to. Only 6 months and you say. Hard to believe? Watch thousands of video reviews on our Youtube channel?
By the way, today we still have 50% off to all English Revolution training packages. By popular demand, we decided to briefly extend this action. Also, who acquires training TODAY, receives a second set of training for a friend or relative as a GIFT! This has not happened and is unlikely to be.

English |
Russian |
|---|---|
| How is it going? | Indeed, this expression “how are you?” Looks much more interesting and new. |
| How is life? | This phrase has an analogue in our mother tongue, which we often use to start a conversation, to show how we are interested in human life. "How are you? What's up" |
| Long time no see! | Long time no see! With this phrase you can calmly start a conversation, and don’t worry - the interlocutor will accurately assess your level of language and knowledge. |
| What are you up to? | What are you doing, what are you doing? Very interesting is the analogue of the “what are you doing?" |
| Want to know which english phrases worth using for an original goodbye? | |
| See you soon! | See you soon, see you soon! |
| See you later! | See you later! After all, the truth is, these phrases are much more interesting than those who have bothered everyone with “bye” or “goodbye!” |
| Good luck! | Good luck. So we are used to ending the conversation in Russian. |
| Take care! | Take care of yourself !. This parting word can also be the final one in your dialogue. |
| Have a nice day! | Wish a nice day. In addition to the day, you can naturally wish for a great weekend, week, month, trip, vacation. For any term, this phrase is suitable. |
| Say hi to tom | Say hello to Tom. |
| Send my love to lisa | I send warm greetings to Lisa. (When the conversation is about relatives close to you, friends.) |
| We proceed to consider the main introductory words, varazheny. | |
| In short / in brief / In a word | If you want to talk about something shortly, clearly. |
| First of all / above all | Use this to get you started, drawing attention to yourself, to your speech. |
| By the way | By the way. |
| Just for the record | If you want to emphasize the significance of your words. To say something for reference - use this phrase |
| On the contrary | If you want to object, say either against, then use this expression. |
| All the same | But if you are absolutely “no difference” - feel free to use this expression. |
| As I said before | As I said earlier. Great phrase for responding to a previous conversation |
| Believe it or not, but | Believe it or not, inexplicable, but true. |
| It turns out that in the English language there are also many intermediate words between “yes”, “no”, “maybe”. They will help you to avoid a clear answer, or vice versa to more clearly express your desire, mood. | |
| Perhaps | Maybe. An uncertain answer may look that way. |
| Probably | Probably. If you do not have absolute certainty, if doubts still remain - use this phrase in spoken English. |
| Quite so | Analogous to the previous expression. Probably quite true. You are not 100 percent sure, but still you are inclined to agree. |
| Definitely, Absolutely | Definitely true, certainly accurate. Also an option of expressing full agreement. |
| Of course / Sure | Are you one hundred percent sure? “Of course” is your final answer. |
| It can hardly be so | Fresh giving, but hard to believe. You can’t just agree, do you think this is not reliable? |
| Most unlikely | If you really doubt it. "Hardly" this may be the case. |
| Not a bit | No doubt, no talk. “Not at all” is the most suitable translation for a given expression. |
| No way | No way. Absolutely categorical "no." |
| I am afraid you are wrong | The previous expression can be considered a little rude. Too sharp. If you do not want to offend the interlocutor, you do not look polite - use this phrase. With the help of it, you can easily hint to the interlocutor that it seems to you that he is not quite right. Very expressive, nice phrase. |
| I don’t think so | Another polite expression that will show that you do not really agree with the interlocutor. If you don’t think so, just tell your opponent about it. |
| No doubt | Without a doubt. If you are one hundred percent sure, feel free to use this phrase. |
| I believe so / suppose so | I assume that you are right. I believe that this is true, that it is. |
| I’m in / I’m game | Interesting expressions indicating your consent to any action. Literally, the second means that you are "in the game." In our language, this expression is also often used in this context. |
| It is a great idea! | A very good idea that you are happy to support. |
| I think I will pass | And this is the antonym in case you refuse, do not support this venture. You pass - So tell me about it. |
| You must be able to politely, beautifully communicate in any language. If you want to please your interlocutor, show your respect - then learn the following phrases and use them in communication. Believe me, you will not be equal, and you will achieve the desired success. | |
| I’m so sorry! | A great expression to express your regrets. In conversations with loved ones, relatives, this phrase is irreplaceable. |
| I beg your pardon! | The word borrowed from the French language perfectly expresses your regret. Feel free to “apologize” using this phrase. |
| I’m sorry, I can’t. | You can also refuse politely. This expression is suitable for such cases. |
| Sorry, I meant well. | If you wanted the best, but it turned out as always - this expression is best for you. |
| Thank you in advance! | The person is going to do something for you - thank him in advance. It is very polite, nice. |
| Thank you anyway! | Even if something went wrong, thanking will never be superfluous. To say thanks anyway is a good tone. |
| Don’t mention it! | Very often we use this phrase in communication in Russian. “Not worth gratitude” is how it translates. |
| May I help you? | If you want to be polite, offer your help. |
| Don’t worry about it! | Often people worry about nothing, especially when they ask us to do something. Reassure them with this phrase. Let them not worry. |
| This way, please! | Are you in a restaurant, or are you hosting guests at home? You can show them where to go with this expression. "Here please". |
| After you! | I think the expression "after you" does not require translation. |
| In any conversation, it is important to show attention, interest. Basically, we all show interest in one word: “ Really? - True?". Using different intonations, we can give this word a completely different meaning. It can be both an ironic and sarcastic statement, surprise and delight can also be replaced with this one word. But, in truth, it has become very boring. We offer to diversify our speech and learn new colloquial phrases in English to maintain a conversation. | |
| What’s the matter? | Show interest in the conversation. Find out what happened, what’s the matter. |
| What’s happened? | Another phrase in order to find out what happened. |
| What’s going on? / What’s happening? | So we can find out what is happening at the moment. |
| What’s the trouble? | There was some kind of problem, misunderstanding. Clarify using this phrase. |
| How was it? | In the event that an action has already occurred, in the past, this expression is used. Show interest - find out how everything went. |
| Did I get you right? | If you suddenly doubt whether you have heard or understood the person you are talking to correctly, use this phrase to ask again. |
| I didn’t catch the last word. | And if you certainly didn’t hear the last word, this phrase will help you. |
| I’m sorry, I didn’t catch you. / Sorry, I wasn’t listening. | In case you listened to the interlocutor. |
| Don’t take it to heart. It doesn’t matter. | Take it easy. It is absolutely not important, it does not matter at all. You can use these phrases separately. |
| It is new to me. | Did something shock you? Was it new to you? Then this phrase fits perfectly. |
| May I ask you a question? | Have a question? Feel free to ask him after this polite insert question. |
| What do you mean? | Do not quite understand the interlocutor - calmly ask him about it. |
| You were saying? | In a conversation, it is often unclear whether the person you are talking to at the moment. Ask bluntly if he just spoke. |
| Oh, that. That explains it. | Suddenly, everything became clear to you? Then inform your opponent about it. |
| So that’s where the trouble lies! | A similar expression for those cases when you just grasped the essence of the problem. |
| Lucky you! | What a score. Rejoice for the interlocutor. |
| Good for you! | A similar expression, but you should be careful with it. Depending on intonation, it easily turns into a sarcastic, unfriendly wish. |
| I’m so happy for you! | But this is a completely sincere joyful exclamation. |
