The first question this week comes from Ajin.

Ajin says, “Hi, Alisha. I'm your fan.”

“Explain the difference between ‘scared’ and ‘afraid,’ with examples.”
9
24240
3560
00:27
Okay, sure.
10
27810
1000
00:28
American English uses the word “scared” more often to talk about the emotion of fear.
11
28810
6330
00:35
We can use this as both an adjective and a verb.
12
35140
3370
00:38
“I was so scared.”
13
38510
1440
00:39
“That movie really scared me.”
14
39950
2150
00:42
“You scared me.”
15
42100
1000
00:43
“Afraid” can be used also for emotions but it sounds a bit more formal than the word,
16
43100
5560
00:48
“scared.”
17
48660
1000
00:49
“I'm so afraid.”
18
49660
1000
00:50
“Don't be afraid.”
19
50660
1000
00:51
But, we do have a different use for the word, “afraid.”
20
51660
2879
00:54
We use it in formal situations to make apologies or rejections.
21
54539
4491
00:59
“I'm afraid we can't do that.”
22
59030
1730
01:00
“I'm afraid he's not in the office at the moment.”
23
60760
2750
01:03
You can use both “afraid” and “scared” to express fear but if you want to use one
24
63510
5670
01:09
as a verb or as an adjective, go with “scared.”
25
69180
2870
01:12
I feel like we use “scared” more often in American English.
26
72050
3330
01:15
Thanks for the question.

Next question comes from Johnny Ringo.
28
76760
2330
01:19
Hi, Johnny.
29
79090
1000
01:20
Johnny says, “Hi, Alisha.
30
80090
1230
01:21
What's the difference between ‘I don't have’ and ‘I have not.’
31
81320
3410
01:24
This is confusing.
32
84730
1000
01:25
Also, do you have Instagram, I want to follow you.”
33
85730
2450
01:28
Okay, first question first.
34
88180
1180
01:29
“I don't have” and “I have not” quite different.
35
89360
3370
01:32
“I don't have” refers to not possessing something, not owning something.
36
92730
5360
01:38
“I don't have any money.”
37
98090
1370
01:39
“I don't have a big house.”
38
99460
2220
01:41
“I don't have your keys.”
39
101680
1120
01:42
“I have not,” however, refers to lack of life experience.
40
102800
4100
01:46
Something you do not have experienced in your life.
41
106900
3350
01:50
“I have not been to France.”
42
110250
1790
01:52
“I have not eaten horse.”
43
112040
1570
01:53
“I have not taken your bag.”
44
113610
1780
01:55
So, I hope that answers that question.
45
115390
1910
01:57
As for Instagram, yeah, sure.
46
117300
1300
01:58
I have Instagram.
47
118600
1000
01:59
You know, I’ve been giving it literally every single live stream by posting something
48
119600
4270
02:03
from my social media accounts but if you haven't found it yet, you can find me on Twitter and
49
123870

51
129210
1570
02:10
Next question.
52
130780
1000
02:11
Actually, next question is two questions.
53
131780
2200
02:13
I get this question a lot so from Viran Israeli, “What is the meaning of though at the end
54
133980
7300
02:21
of a sentence?” and from Yukie, “I saw someone commenting, ‘his face though.
55
141280
5580
02:26
LOL.’
56
146860
1000
02:27
What does this though mean?”
57
147860
1160
02:29
Yeah, very common question about the use of the word, “though.”
58
149020
3790
02:32
I've answered this question please check this video to see some more information about this
59
152810
5470
02:38
use of “though” and a couple of variations on it.
60
158280
3700
02:41
Hope that helps.
61
161980
1200
02:43
Okay, next question.
62
163180
1550
02:44
Next question comes from Kenneth.
63
164730
1000
02:45
Hi, Kenneth.
64
165730
1000
02:46
Kenneth said, “Good day!”
65
166730
1000
02:47
Good day!
66
167730
1000
02:48
“What's the schedule of your live stream?”
67
168730
2110
02:50
Sure.
68
170840
1000
02:51

03:08
Next question comes from Amir.
77
188210
1900
03:10
Hi, Amir.
78
190110
1000
03:11
Amir asks, “How can I communicate with Alisha?”
79
191110
3000
03:14
You just did.
80
194110
1270
03:15
Hello!
81
195380
1000
03:16
Okay, next question, seriously.
82
196380
1870
03:18
Next question comes from Roberoo.
83
198250
1230
03:19
Roberoo, hi.
84
199480
1000
03:20
Roberoo says, “What is the difference when pronouncing ‘leader,’ ‘leather’ and
85
200480
4890
03:25
‘letter?’”
86
205370
1000
03:26
Nice one.
87
206370
1000
03:27
Okay.
88
207370
1000
03:28
“Leader,” so, to break it down.
89
208370
1000
03:29
“Lead,” that “E-A” there is pronounced “lead” in the word, “leader.”
90
209370
5410
03:34
In “leather,” the “E-A” is pronounced “eh,” “leh,” “leather.”
91
214780
4200
03:38
And, in “letter,” we have the same vowel pronunciation, “eh,” but there's a “double
92
218980
6240
03:45
T” in the spelling.
93
225220
1610
03:46
However, we don't pronounce it as “letter” in actual speech, in rapid speech.
94
226830
4860
03:51
We say, “letter,” it's a “D” sound.
95
231690
3590
03:55
So, “leader,” “leather,” “letter.”
96
235280
2050
03:57
So, “leather” and “letter” might sound quite similar but there's a “T-H” sound
97
237330
5280
04:02
in the word, “leather.”
98
242610
1090
04:03
Also, you can just listen to the context.
99
243700
2020
04:05
Does “letter” or “leather” make more sense?
100
245720
2860
04:08
“Leader” has a very different vowel sound.
101
248580
2060
04:10
I hope that helps.
102
250640
1150
04:11
So, those are all the questions that I want to answer for this week's episode.
