I don’t know why YouTube recommended this video to me but it’s the best thing that happened to me today. I understood every word that u said, im still learning english and your way to interact with us made me face english as my native language, it’s incredible. I love your smile and your expressions. U got a new subscription, and thank you for helping me.
Gostei da sua resposta, vc é de onde? Pelo nome digo que é do Brasil. Eu também não sei porque apareceu o vídeo dela, mas achei super bacana. E vou ouvir mesmo sem entender tudo, para aprender inglês ( aprender mais).

@ Tudo Junto e Misturado ela é ótima! Já me inscrevi. She is a great English teacher !
Me too.

Love her way of explaining, cause her accent is clear. She speaks slowly and clearly, and that’s what makes her class easier and interesting to follow!
You made my day such a great teacher!
I’m brazilian, my English is intermediate but I understand almost everything you say and I love your classes, thank you very much!
I am Brazilian student too, and i can understand almost everything teacher Tifani say. She is amazing.
Hey
Me too… I’m Angolan and I speak Portuguese, but I understand perfectly all words.
In this case,on your expression, is better to use “I understood” since u’r talking on the future ’cause u already watch this video.
@Larissa Macedo great. But she doesn’t talking about this particular video, i think. And she has to change “say” to “said” in this case. Maybe she wrote exactly what she wanted to say.
I’m a native English speaker and use the phrase ‘I’m fine thank you and you’ all the time. It’s definitely normal here in England and not wrong but this lady is giving you some nice alternatives. Most people don’t want an in-depth answer or conversation unless you are friends.
I know right
Im American and I never say the thank you part, I just say “Good, How you?” In America how are you while standing and walking is kind of like Hello they don’t really care how your doing, if we are sitting down with someone we are close with then it’s ok to give a real answer.
In some countries british english is more prominent in language courses and schools than the american english. Now if we add most of the things we watch in media are usually from USA, some learners have a weird mix of both dialects.
Personally it took me a while to learn some alternatives to the “i’m fine, thank you” thing and still feels kinda weird to say “im doing great” because of how teachers only give you that as the default response since one starts learning the language, lol
I was thinking the same. We use that phrase all the time, to say native speakers don’t is disingenuous. The alternatives sound nice, but it’s just another way of saying the same thing, but packaged in a nice bow. You can use either and people here will get what you mean, and If you encounter any issues when using either, it’s not you, it’s the person you’re engaging.
@Psychocat☆ Most Americans dont really care how each other are doing
You’re a great teacher! Lived and studied in NYC for several years and loved every moment. Came back to my country, went to the university, got a degree ad also taught in high school. I observed that you may know a lot, hold many degrees but when it comes to teaching you’ve to have that “special connection ” with your students! That’s exactly what you have! More so when it’s virtual!! AMAZING!! Love everything about you!
Mind you, when I think I do it in english! Language learning is mind blowing and I must recognize I have a natural tendency to pick up foreign languages easily!
Thank you for being the way you are and sharing your useful tips!! I’ll follow you from now on!
– Tiffani, your pronunciation is perfectly clear for me.
– I could understand every word you said.
– You have amazing positive energy in transferring your knowledge and skills.
God bless you.
She’s the best😊
I like it
100% agree.. 👍👍
Yes, she has a amazing diction!
So i have bad news and also good news for us the people out there who have no idea what this reality is all really all about if you can see??? The bad news this reality is not sustainable and it will end and must end. You want to know why?? Ok i gonna tell ya! You have a good you within your host body that faces up towards a STAR and a bad you that faces down towards the Pit, they bound together in your host body. You are in conflict with yourself and the war is within you, you are your own worst enemy, the one that faces down is trying to destroy. Think back to your life and you will see it! Its a Cannabalistic system, Remember Cain Killed Able, that is where the word Cannable comes from, The Oroborus is the Snake eating its own tail. When the energy is consumed it will end and that time is Nai. Satans energy is FEMALE, God’s Energy is MALE, Satan created Male and Female not God, The Flesh is Satan the Spirit is God, they are in conflict with each other. The good news if you realize what i just said you can take the LEAP to REDEEM yourself. Jesus Christ came down here took a HOST body to SAVE us kind like a get out of Jail free card.
Remember Satan owns the title deed to this reality which is the Flesh so to pay for it God had to take a Host body and decided to pay that price for us! Thank you God we really really appreciate that! So what do we need to do to turn our EYE back to be redeemed. Its ver SIMPLE admit that you are living the SIN and admit this in front of God and you will be redeemed. This will in turn release you from the bond to your host body and your EYE will be SINGLE and your body filled with LIGHT. There will no longer be the bad you only Good Once you have this you will see the kingdom and be reborn back into it where you came from. We are the Aliens here we were all Angels in heaven and the Stars are the Angels this is what Satan has been hiding from us. Remember God and Jesus which are one and the same are the TRUTH and Satan is Lies, Deceit, and it hides the truth from us so that it can accomplish its GOAL. And what is Satan goal???? It wants your SOUL, we are being hunted. If you choose the Double DOWN, then you will remain in Satans world and or if you took the vaccine you have already signed yourself over to your new Master which is Satan. In Satans world there will no longer be free will. The price you pay for not paying attention and thinking Conspiracies are a THEORY. Where there is SMOKE there is FIRE! The Vaccine has a substance called Graphine in it as well as Nano Technology. This will not allow you to redeem yourself and you will remain in Satans world and the Rabbit hole goes much deeper if you remain. Because you are no longer capable of making decisions for yourself Satan now has to make those for you, good luck with that. These are the facts that we are faced with, you choose up or down??

Tiffani, your teaching methods are awesome! I have an MA in English, and I feel the way you walk the students through the lesson is spot on. In Midwestern English using “a bit” is more formal than just saying “I’m kinda tired…I’m a little hungry…I’m sorta confused.” These are the most pared down ways of the expressions you’re using. I know it’s easier to teach the real way us American English speakers talk! Simple and sweet! You are phenomenal!
They should be taught properproper English and speech they can use lazy language on their own.
@June Shortall The whole purpose of this lesson, June, is to be colloquial. Do you know what that means? Taking generic phrases and making them how most Americans would speak on a daily basis. Don’t butt in if you don’t know what you’re talking about! 😄
@Andrew Joseph Dotson thank u
Excellent class, congratulations teacher and also thank you so much! I’m happy that I can understand most words you saying, I am a Brazilian student beginning by my own ☺️🌹❤️💋
I always say, “fine, thank you.” I’m a native English speaker. 90% of the time, people say, “How are you?” (or some variation) while walking by, so there is no time for another question.
If a close friend asks how I am and isn’t walking away, I would give a more genuine response and keep the conversation going.
I agree. As an American, native English speaker, I have been using that response and question, “I’m fine, thank you. And you?” for decades. No one is confused by it, and it is understood that the question “and you?” is meant as a courtesy question without the expectation of a detailed reply to it. Any reply given would also be a quick, courtesy response such as “I’m fine, too” or “I’m okay” or “good!”
I totally agree. I get it. 😘🙏🥰❤️💋

I always respond with ‘fine, and you?’ out of habit from always hearing my mom say it. When I was younger, I used to walk away before ppl responded to the ‘and you?’ part until my mom explained that was rude…😅
@Bizness As Usual me too 😂😂😂
The response “I’m fine. Thank you, an you?” Is totally fine. It’s polite. I’m a native English speaker and when “how are you?” Is asked, the one who asked is just being polite by acknowledging that you are existing in the same space and time. Do not give a long, indepth answer, it’s rude. If you are very close with the person, then you can give a real answer. But if your boss asks, just say “fine and you?”
All of the examples given in this video are for when you’re close with the person. Not for a regular encounter with a boss, co-worker, etc.
This. 100%. Although saying “I’m good” sounds better than “I’m fine”
Agreed. I just say “I’m well. Thank you for asking. How are you?”
@Mama_Be@r And it’s rude not to reciprocate; by failing to ask how the OTHER person is doing.
I like “ I’m well. ” I think it depends on the level of relationship as well. Some people actually want to know how you are mentally and physically. I do wish this level of socializing was normalized it may help a person just to talk about it for a second.
I agree. I am a Native speaker also. I think it’s really a matter of where you grew up. New York here.
Me encanta la forma en que pronuncia las palabras porque a pesar de que tengo un inglés muy básico logro entender todo lo que dice, me ha encantado la explicación 💗❤️
I am Valery Sanon, I have been teaching since 2007 in primary school, I can say that you are an excellent teacher who makes you want to learn, arouses the curiosity of those who watch your videos and transmits knowledge with passion. wow! Congratulations!
Hi, very interesting suggestions for anybody who’s not a native speaker.I would say even for teachers as most of the times depending on the country we teach we feel attached to patterns we must follow.Thanks a lot, your suggestions are great!
si todos los nativos hablaran tan claro como tu, aprender ingles seria mas fácil, amo todos tus videos porque puedo entender gran parte de lo que dices. Gracias por tus valiosos videos. Saludos desde Colombia.
I’m very impressed by the happiness and effort that you put into in your videos
I love your happiness 😊, a class injected with joy is another level. Thank you teacher Tiffany.
Tiffany, thanks a lot for your very interesting classes! Your pronouncination is great, your energy is so warm, your smile is so amazing! I’m happy to find you here!
