So many nuances… Hardly I could find them in textbooks… Thank you, Aly!

Dude, you're killing me with your American accent (the baseball cap, etc.) As a greeting “hello” we also say “How’s it going” or “How are yah” but all we expect to hear is “okay”, “I’m good” etc., we are not expecting to start a conversation. When leaving the office at the end of the day 5:30 pm we say “goodnight” meaning “goodbye”. You are so awesome and so much fun 💙 love you Papa!

Best video I've seen on British greetings. Thank you.

I have been learning English since kindergarten. I moved to England a few months ago, and I found this video exceptionally useful. At my workplace, I'm the only one who looks different, but luckily, people are generally nice to me. Whenever colleagues ask me, "You alright?", I try to tell them as much as possible. One day, while I was in the toilet, a colleague asked me if I was alright. I replied, "I'm good. It's smooth. My prostate hasn't enlarged yet." Oh, sorry. I wrote too much. You probably didn't mean to know how I am, right? 😂😂😂

You're an amazing teacher :) This is not a grammar / lexical lesson, it's a more complete video, it goes inside the British mind and nobody does it, like a real class in a language school in England. When I lived in Dublin, I had a lot of cultural troubles of this sort, that's why I appreciate this lesson so much. Thank you very much from Italy.

In Germany all these conversations are: "Hallo! - Hallo." If you ask someone "how are you" we will always tell you how we REALLY feel - and that can be a long story😅.

I’m literally coping.. I graduated a year ago from college and have no job 😭😭they all want “experience”.HOW can I have an experience without a JOB??

Wish they would also teach in schools the different ways to answer to that question instead of the basic I'm fine thank you 👁️👄👁️

Dear Ali, I was lucky enough to have you as a teacher many years ago at Malvern, even then you were legendary and in a very short time I learned many things from your teaching. Ad Maiora! ❤Michela

I've realised that "How are you?" appeared during one of the plagues. People really wanted to know: "is it physically ok to come near you?". I found it out from a video on... history of coffee houses in the UK... That was the first phrase people greeted a newcomer... They were really interested whether they couldlet that person in

Feeling great after this video. Your creativity is a well that never runs dry! I hope that getting views/subscribers isn't the only acknowledgement you get for your amazing work.

Great as usual, mate. You have a natural talent to make one's day😀

OMG, you’re such an amazing person!!! I absolutely love your lessons ❤️❤️❤️ After been living in London for many years I can totally relate to this… 😂

Better, than I was before this video, since this simple question's used to puzzle me alright. And this is probably the best compilation of answers I've seen to date! Many thanks. ^-^

Hello- I’m a native English speaker. Do you advise that I stop saying “I’m fine…Thank you… and you?” too? Or is that advice only for non-native English speakers?

Awesome! ❤ Did learn new things with you and also did laugh a bit.

Marvellous! ❤ And so much fun! 😄 “It’s a baby, okay? It’s not a pizza!” 😂 - Setting priorities is so important … 😄 Thank you, Aly 🫶🏼

Thanks a lot! Now after years and years of learning the language I'm absolutely confused )))

You never CEASE to AMAZE me with your Humour skills... Love ❤❤❤

I like your passion while teaching

❤Thanks a lot, Teacher!!😊

I'm lucked out because you exist! I really really appreciate your lessons. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗💯/💯

How are you doing? Great stuff! Thank you so much😊 Honestly and naturally due to the cultural gap my answer would be "as usually" or "hard to tell" or simply "not the best" because there's always a fresh juicy reason to complain😅

Aly, you're the best. I really appreciate your excellent teaching techniques, superior drawing skills and amazing personality. In another words, you have my endless admiration.

I'm feeling a bit tired, but your video was really fun. You're not only a good teacher but also a brilliant actor.😀

Great video, man! Funny way to learn for us who have English as a second language 🎉

Omg ,I 've just realized that I have a British way of thinking with an american accent and I am from iraq 😮

Oh my goodness! What an amazing video! Thanks, Aly! 🤩

British "Sorry" means, "You're in my way. Move. Now."

excellent.

Thank you so much for sharing your video.

Papa, this lesson bloody rocks. Fantastic!

This is what I wanted! I didn't know how I could respond to "How are you?" despite that I got bored with "I'm fine", thanks and you?" responding. I learned that and repeated until watching this video.

This is fenomenal, Papateachme, you are brilliant :D I've been laughing hard from moment one :D

You are so cool ))) Thanks a bunch, teacher, now I feel really amazing )))) So glad that I found your channel . ❤❤❤❤❤

I am from Poland and I hate if someone asks me „alright?”. Instantly I start to think ( or even worse ; be worried) that it’s something wrong with my face, I look tired or ill 😢

Great video!!

I had fun in this class it was great english class in my life

Hearing you, really good! Thank you!

I really like see you and take some lessons with you man

Can't complain

Papa Teach Me, I had a blast getting through these x legend!

So far so good 😊

Thanks!

Hey there, Papa! Alright? I'm coping yet, we're managing to cope with all of my troubled health to smile or to laugh aloud, thanks for asking 😉

"hi how are you?" "I'm alright" "I'm fine" "Same old same old" "I'm good" That's all i have to say

I truly loved YOUR style. I got a suscription immediately❤

I really have to admit that in former days when I was going to school, I wasn't really good at English I'm not really interested in. In fact, I almost didn't get to the last test to finish my Diploma ( Or What is the right word for the German "Abitur???), And now I think the reason the language, it's out the way they were teaching us about nine years and was one of the worst and when I finished school, But then I had to speak English for almost a year while studying, and that was the time when I fell in love with this language, I've learned so much more in this one year than at school. Lucky me, that I found your channel, You're explaining it very well 👍 ( by the way, Is well in that case the correct word?)

Loved it, thanks! You forgot an answser I heard many times though: "still breathing..."

You alright mates?

(I'm introvert) The first example: To a person who I "Mate" I'd say anything. Be my day dreadful, dull, so-so, actually quite good or glorious - I'd tell'em. Then: I'm from a region whose dialect doesn't have a "How do you do?"-expression. That only exists in the standard language.

excellent

Have you got a video with UK's towns and cities names. Those are so hard to understand how to pronounce them. Like Worcestershire and all...

'Fine thanks and you' is something I hear a lot from non native speakers but never heard such expression in the States.

🤣😃😂 brilliant. Took me ages to get used to NOT answering the ‘how are you’ (ie ‘hello’) and just say hello back 🤣😂

Just another contribution to your happy-meter! Hilarious and well-explained video. I love it and I feel good (well)!

At the beginning of the video, a guy said Kishida Japan. I’m Japanese. Yes, almost Japanese students started learning English saying How are you? I’m fine.(even though really not fine). Thank you and you?

Nice lesson👍 You teach British 🇬🇧 English. It sounds different from American 🇺🇸 English

I the Caribbean, people would reply “not bad” or “not too bad” and if they were feeling really great “not bad at all”.

Good job

Pretty good 😊

i. I can't be doing with studying for an exam at the moment. I just want to have fun! ii.I haven’t got the time to take a day off, let alone a whole week! iii. I wish I could take a day off, but needs must in my current situation. iv. If there is a bus, take that. Failing that, take a taxi. v. Where are you at with the holiday? Have you decided to go or not?

So far so good. Thanks, mate 🙂 Sometimes in tv shows I can hear "How's your day" instead of "What`s up" or another greetings. Is it common to use in real life?

Remember; don't mistake polite enquiry for genuine interest.

I'm not feeling well.but I'm watching your video

so far so good!

I m doing well

As a German I always tell people who are asking, how I really feel. In my opinion they wouldn't ask, if they didn't want to know, right?😂 Unfortunately this can last a few minutes up to half an hour. I am sorry, but you asked.😂 Thanks for this video, perhaps I'll change a bit at least when it comes to Brits.

Just missed your voice, Aly!😳

Next week, we will be discussing the word "Brilliant."

I am glad, that you are as complicated in answering this question as we are in Germany. 😂

can't complain)

How do you do?

In an English lesson on a videocall, should I reply to a "how are you? " or "how you doing?" from my teacher with a final "thank you"? I would feel awkward if I didn't say it. For instance: "I'm o'righ', thank you!", "I'm good, thank you!", "doing good, thank you!", "not bad, thank you". Edit: almost every lesson has a different teacher, so we rarely know each other from a previous one.

Is correct to say "it could be worse" when the day has been not interesting?

Would you be so kind to tell why then all text books teach "I'm fine"? I've got a second question: why teaching grammatically uncorrect english should be sooo cool? I'm good is a grammar mistake for good is an adjective while in this case an adverb should be used....Am I correct?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😃😃😃😄😄 A nosotros, los teachers, nos obligaban a decirles a los alumnos HOW ARE YOU ? y ellos tenían que responder FINE, THANK YOU, AND YOU ?😃😃😃😄😄😄 Un abrazo, crack !🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧

Oiga!! Y qué pasó con la pizarra y los dibujitos?

Hilarious! I'm so glad I came across your channel in this video ocean! You're a very talented actor. (Captain Obvious)

Most students repeat like a parrot: 'fine' (even when they are crying)

Y'alright guys? 😅 It's so embarrassing that they don't teach this in schools. It really is, because greetings are literally the first thing to learn. Yet, we all end up with hello and good morning. Last month we went to the Lake District for two weeks. As per my previous experiences, hello was just fine for my daily interaction in London. But in the Lakes? A whole different world. I had no idea why everybody was asking me about my wellbeing. Also, many people there were chatty and expected an actual answer. 😂

Nice lesson 😁 I really want to say that I'm alright, but in reality, I'm at the end of your tether😰

I'm good, thanks. Ciao 🤗 Your videos are always great 👍✌️

My way, A: How are you? B: Better than you, thank you.

Interesting😊

I used to reply “terrible” just to shock them a bit.

Hunky-dory!

And here I was thinking German had lots of words with many different meanings, I forgot English does too haha

someone to me - HELLO 🖖 my response - Oh HELL 👿

I'm not good, nor I'm bad. I'm a bit of alright.

In english you say "How do you do" - that was what I learned in primary school.

awroy! nevuh betuh!

Bloody good Cheers

I’ve had better days 😢

Yeah good. And you, all right?

Uuuuu... confusing me because I'll try to say, not bad !! or I'm fine. But unfortunately my word was I'm bad, or not fine !! Mixed 😅 It's chemistry😊Ta from a far east, japan or japon

Gosh! That's tricky! In French we have one and only one way to say "Comment ça va? - ça va!" 😊 and that's it! Great vid, I subscribed!

Yeah, I'm alright, you?

Alright,Papa?

I wish to lern a "gentlemans english "😊
