    in brief:
    In this video, the host, Catherine, teaches five common phrases used in native English, particularly in the UK.
    Here's a summary of the phrases and their meanings:
    1. "The thing is" - This phrase is used to introduce an issue or a problem.
    It's a common way of softening a negative or critical message.
    For example, "The thing is, a few colleagues have noticed you've been late a few times this month."
    2. "Fair enough" - This is a response to something seen as acceptable, logical, or reasonable.
    It can be used in a wide range of situations, like when agreeing to a fair trade-off: "I'll do the dishes tonight if you do the dishes tomorrow," "Fair enough."
    3. "What a shame" - This is used when expressing disappointment or sympathy for a minor unfortunate event.
    However, it's not appropriate for very serious or sad situations.
    For example, "Oh, I dropped my favourite necklace in the river," "Oh, what a shame."
    4. "A complete nightmare" - This phrase is used to describe a frustrating or annoying situation, often used in complaints about traffic, trains, or long queues.
    For instance, "The trains were a complete nightmare yesterday."
    5. "What have you been up to" - This phrase is used in small talk to ask about recent activities or future plans.
    For example, "What have you been up to recently?" or "What are you up to on the weekend?"
    The video aims to help English learners sound more natural and informal in their conversations.
    It also provides cultural context, explaining that these phrases are often heard in everyday conversations in the UK.

      Daniel. If we "pigeonhole" someone, it means we make unfair assumptions about them based on their nationality. It's not helpful to pigeonhole some people on the basis of their nationality.

    Pretty nice video, Katherine! I hear these phrases here in America as well, although I never hear the words ‘queue’ or ‘queuing’ on a frequent basis, or ever. I once had a customer ask me where the tinned vegetables are at the grocery store I work. Thankfully I knew what she meant because I heard of tinned vegetables on another CZcams channel. Cheers 🙂!
