Speak how most people actually speak! Standard English is important and essential for communication, but in relaxed everyday situations, casual English is incredibly common. Instead of “I don’t understand,” you might hear “I don’t get it .” Instead of “Let’s meet tomorrow,” you might hear “Let’s get together tomorrow.” These are just two examples of casual English expressions. In this lesson, I teach 15 standard English sentences and their casual English equivalents. Other casual expressions in this lesson include: “He’s pissed off,” “I’m beat,” “It’s on me,” “No worries,” “Check this out,” “Try it out,” “I’ll get in touch with you,” and more! Listen and repeat the sentences in the video, do the quiz on EngVid, use the sentences in the comments, and come back in a few days to refresh your knowledge. *You got this!* engvid.com/go-from-standard-to-casual-english
