Today's lesson is common English phrases

for greeting people informally.

We will learn five informal greetings in English.

We use informal greetings with close friends

or sometimes with our family members.

Number five, how are things?

How is everything?

We can answer this question with phrases like

"good" or "not bad" or "things are good."

For example, "Hi Danny, how are things?"

"Actually, things are good. How about you?

"How is everything with you?"

"Not bad. Thanks for asking."

All right, informal greeting number four,

How's your day?

or, how's it going?

This greeting is asking about the general time period

of around now or today.

We could reply to this greeting with something like,

"It's going well."

or you could simply say "It's going good."

For example, "Hey Danny, how's your day going?"

"It's going well. I've been very, very busy today."

Informal greeting number three.

What's up? What's new? What's going on?

This is a casual greeting used to greet someone

you already know.

We could reply to this greeting with something like,

"Nothing much."

Or you could reply with something new

that is happening in your life.

For example, "Hey Danny, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing. What's new with you?"

"I bought a new car this week."

Informal greeting number two.

Long time no see or it's been a while.

We can use this greeting when we see someone

that we haven't seen for a long time.

Using this greeting would include,

"How have you been?" Or

"What's new?"

For example, "Hey Danny, it's been a while.

"How have you been?"

"I'm good. I've been really really busy with my family

"and at work."

Number one, Hey! Or Hey, man.

This greeting is very, very, very informal

and quite popular among young people and teenagers.

You should only use this with

someone you already know very well.

For example, "Hey man, what's up?"

"Hey, nothing much. What's new?"
