Do you still say "I am fine, thank you"? It's the #1 phrase that makes you sound like a textbook, not a fluent English speaker. In this episode of From Textbook to Talk, we unlock the simple, natural phrases that will instantly upgrade your spoken English and make your conversations flow.
Learning English from a book is great, but it often doesn't teach you the casual, real-life English used in daily conversations. The classic "How are you? / I am fine, thank you" exchange is grammatically perfect but can sound robotic and even end a conversation before it starts. We're here to fix that.
In this video, you will learn:
✅ Why your textbook answer ("I am fine, thank you") can make conversations feel awkward.
✅ Casual, friendly ways to ask how someone is, like a native speaker (e.g., "How's it going?", "What's new?").
✅ Simple, natural responses that will make you sound confident and friendly ("I'm good, thanks!", "Not too bad.").
✅ The secret to keeping a conversation going by asking the question back naturally.
If you want to move from beginner English to confident, natural English, this lesson is your first step. Start sounding more like a real person and less like a textbook today!
