Do you want to sound more  fluent and natural in English?

Do you want to easily understand native English?

Speakers.

If you said.

For you to sound more fluent and  natural to understand native speakers,  

you need to know colloquial English,  also known as colloquialisms.

Simply.

Casual speech.

And today you're going to learn 24 colloquial.

Words that you?

Need to know.

Welcome back to JForrest English.

Of course.

I'm Jennifer.

Now let's get.

Started.

Colloquial English, also known as colloquialisms,  is simply informal language used in.

Everyday speech.

This includes phrases, idioms and expressions.

And you can use.

These with your.

Friends, your family, and even your.

Colleagues and boss.

As a warning, just know that these may or may  not be appropriate for more formal situations.

It depends on the specific situation.

How does this compare to slang?

Well, slang is very informal speech  that is often not standard English,  

and slang is often viewed as  unprofessional, colloquial English.

What you'll learn today is casual but friendly  and natural, and I summarize everything in a.

Free lesson PDF.

So don't.

Worry about.

Taking notes #1.

Of.

Saying to complete something, but native  speakers use this in many different situations.

That's the more formal way.

To say.

Around and the casual.

Way is to add ish.

Native speakers use this.

A lot will be.

This means in the near  future, but not immediately.

It's a little longer than soon.

Just know that.

Ish.

Is not.

Actually a word, but all native.

Speakers understand it #5 My bad.

You know this one, right?

This is used when you take responsibility.

Or accept fault maybe?
