I love your advice about reading and listening together. I am an American, who writes fictional HR novels in England's 17th and 18th centuries. I read only British historical novelists, whilst listening to the book on audible. It has genuinely helped me to think in British English. When I read anything, I interpret it with a British accent, it is lovely. I still sound like a Southern Texas American hick. Alas, I have really tried for years to lose it, really, I have. But it appears there is something seriously wrong with my brain-to-ear connection. I have only recently found your channel, but I believe it has already helped a little.

I think the best phrase to say and saying it with meaning is "Hey, good to see you!" followed up by a memory of the last time you hanging out, followed then by a short summary of what you're doing there in the first place. For me, this always works because it puts the acquaintance at ease that you're just there doing your thing and that you acknowledge their presence, especially if it's at a social event with dozens or hundreds of other people.

If you say to someone you are only a acquaintance with they will simply acknowledge your polite gesture. It is perfectly fine to use. And you're examples are no different than, "How are you?"

Thank you Abelardo. Nice to learn that people further down the list and back in time (in terms of posts/date) are still kept informed. A word to all of you in this 'community' I love this forum and Lucy's commit/ment (even though it seems to be carrying a commercial interest - Audible announcement). My presence here is to enjoy and learn, plus offer any complementary point of view or experience = knowledge. By the way, I am British .... just to be clear on what version of the English language is native to me.... British English is supposed to represent the English language as it is used in the U.K : in England, Scotland Wales, Ireland. We should be aware though that each member country of the U.K has its own idioms, expressions, and language-grammar variants. Each member country can be broken down into regional English language usage. Getting a bit complicated right ???? But that's how it is. No worries, if you're not living in the U.K or corresponding with people resident in the U.K from abroad, you don't have to worry about such details. Just use the English language as best you know and be happy when people understand you rapidly. Cheers ( a very English sign off meaning = All the Best to You)

I think this is mostly bunk, someone has way too much time on their hands. There is nothing wrong with “how are you?”. It expresses interest in the persons well being.

Fun fact! There's actually a direct link in the brain between reading and speaking! The more you read, the better you speak. But, for some reason, not the other way around. I learned that in my Cognitive Processes class in college. Pretty neat, huh? Reading also especially improves verbal acuity, which is your ability to say exactly what you mean. And that is a really important skill which is the number one predictor of future success across every subject. So, actually reading in your target language WILL benefit your speaking skills. Just don't use it as your only form of speaking practice, because your mouth still needs the practice too. :)

We must promote these videos, cause the more English speakers in the world, the less we need to learn another language just to communicate. Everyone in the world speaks English, and if they don't they ought to. To quote Elizabeth Hurley from Bedazzled lol.

I've always had a hard time with the "Social Contract," but when I actually want to know about someone, I say, "What's been keeping you busy these days?" because it could be anything -- work, kids, recreation, etc, and then I'm not assuming one thing or another.

Greetings have changed umpteen times over the history of the language. There's a constant tension between ritual and style, convention and novelty, formality and casualness. Back when How d'you do? was the de facto standard, How are you? was a fresher, more youthful variant. But the wheel keeps on turning... what was new is now old. Imho, for new learners of English, almost any functional greeting will do (we'll make allowances for a foreigner whose choice of phrase doesn't quite suit the occasion). Once they're more fluent, they can start to distinguish which greeting feels right in the context of different social situations.

@@unattractiveraven8579 Cute! How many people attempt a foreign language (for instance), but feel crushed every time they make a mistake, or misunderstand something. In fact, we all put too much effort into maintaining our self-image as someone who's competent and capable, at all times. Learning depends on us loosening up that perfectionist self-image.

I'm from the Netherlands and read the Kingkiller trilogy books written by Patrick Rothfuss. I have always had a knack for languages, and even on advanced levels. Reading his books really made me feel tiny and that I have yet to learn so much more. If I can ever recommend a good book with advanced English I would mention The name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear.

"How are you?" is a phrase that suggests you care to hear about the recipient of the greeting. But most people do not want to share their private lives with acquittances. Peers should not ask this question as a greeting to avoid putting others in a position where they lie by saying that they are fine when they have a real issue they want to keep to their self. However, where job performance is at stake, a boss or manager is opening the door for a serious conversation, IF NECESSARY.... Otherwise, any personal concern is pretentious.

"What's up?" is fairly recent, even in America. I remember first hearing it in 1995 and it sounded a bit odd at the time. Somebody from Austria told me an American said it to him in 1994 and asked me what it meant. It was likely regional at the time. In California they had, "What's happening?" in the 1970's, maybe from American Spanish.

A caution about “How’s it hangin’?” I have always heard that it refers to a part of the male anatomy, and the expected reply is usually “On the left.”, “On the right.”, or something else potentially more graphic. So I recommend not using this phrase, unless in somewhat rauncy company and you want to indulge in the raunch.
