http://eepurl.com/izRKww Language Registers refer to the way you speak in different situations. The are 4 main registers in English: Formal, Neutral, informal/casual and intimate. If you're learning English, getting the register right is an important aspect of effective communication in both written and spoken English. Conversely, getting the register wrong can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, and much worse. In this lesson we look at 4 dialogues in the wrong register and how they can be improved.
00:00 An introduction in three language registers
02:38 The formal register
05:40 The neutral register
06:55 The Informal/Casual Register
