Depending on who ya talk to in the U.S., some people will actually contract "will" with someone's name. "Kate'll get that report to ya soon." "Tom'll meet you in the lobby when you arrive". Typically it's only for names that end in a consonant sound (i.e. "Kate" ends with a T sound, "Tom" with an M sound); it'd be a little odd to hear somethin like "Sara'll get you a receipt for that" in comparison, because the name "Sara" doesn't end with a consonant sound. Just thought I'd clear that up for anyone here that is tryin to learn American English.
I would use it with vowel endings as well, but would insert a glottal stop. Sara will becomes Sara'ull and Anna will become Anna'ull. Not Saral or (God forbid) Annal.
Ok i am 14 years age, and i just understand some words that she sayied! Aahhhhh sometimes it's so hard for me to understand, but im happy because im still learning.
Hello I am an ArabAnd I learn English, and I'm still in 10th grade, with many dialects like American and British. 😁😊 Your way of teaching is not boring and your way 😊of teaching is not boring and wonderful
Actually, the word "actually" is not just filler. It is used to indicate that you have a correction to make about something or disagree with it somehow. :) Love the video!
I'm a native English speaker and I really enjoy watching these haha I think they're super informative and as someone who's learned about 4ish languages it's very fun to watch! My biggest filler words are always um, like, and so. Just make sure to not over use them cause they tend to be a bad habit. I use them a lot and it tends to annoy a lot of my friends and were all native speakers lol don't feel weird for just taking a pause to think! Keep learning! And feel free to ask any questions!
Hello Mam, I'm English language beginner. If you can help me to speak fluently i would grateful to you. Please add me on your skype to practice face to face . ID is Thongpong Mro.
I’m a native English speaker from the UK, if you want to be able to understand any UK natives, learn to understand Scottish people and also people from South Yorkshire, we have the thickest accents of all British people. Even English people struggle to understand Scottish people! Haha
I’ve been to Ireland and they speak gibberish once you start to listen. It gets better over time but still - never again. Going to the UK? Nah, nobody speaks English in London. Maybe I’m a weirdo but prefer American English, at least I get it. New Yorkers are a different part - my brain catches up but I don’t. Too much information. I don’t even speak so much in my own language. So there goes California, I love it. San Francisco is not bad - it’s ok but going south to LA I start to smile. Best people ever, no one is in a rush.
As others have said, "Kate'll do that" is actually quite common. It's improper in a textbook, but you'll hear it regularly. One other thing, just because it happened twice when you were pitching your book: an educated native speaker would not say "I will explain you _________". We would always say, "I will explain TO you" or even "I will explain for you" but you need some sort of preposition between "explain" and "you" to sound native. Otherwise, this video is really good. I can't imagine how hard all of this must be to learn as a non-native speaker, but your pronunciation and understanding is very good.
These videos are super interesting! IT makes me think about how I communicate. I will bring up that in the US there are multiple regional accents and language differences. These tips would apply to more of the western region. Places such as Colorado, California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
i just want to mention (as a native speaker who clicked this out of curiosity) that while it's not technically correct, 'll *can* go at the end of names and it'll still make perfect sense. it's not uncommon to hear things like "oh yeah, mark'll do that"
i get motivation when i watch this video everytime, this video is very useful for everyone and easy to understand. Thank you Linguamarina , Lucky break 🎉
yeah or people do like double contractions. never in written english ofc but i hear “I couldn’t’ve been there” and others all the time. we just contract everything i guess💀
💃 какое это счастье , когда ты вышел на такой уровень что понимаешь ВСЁ , как минимум все что было сказано в этом ролике . Теперь бы не стесняться и решительно разговаривать 😅
Instead of "I dunno know" it would just be "I dunno" When write it like the former, it would basically sound like "I dun-no no" By saying "I dunno" we are essentially getting rid of the "know" and mushing it together. You said not to use contractions with names, however, if you are trying to sound more like a native speaker, then do it. Saying "Sam will do that" is used more formally, where as "Sam'll do it" is what a native speaker would say. About the idioms, most of them aren't used, and many native speakers don't know many of the idioms either.
I feel like basically does have some semantic meaning. In the example saying 'he basically ignored me' means 'I felt like he ignored me based on the level of attention he gave me which was some level of attention higher then 0' but you can see how that would be wordy.
I'm not a native English speaker so sometimes I don't understand many American youtubers but I can understand whatever u say cause you speak English very clearly! Your video helps me a lot to improve my english so thank you a lot!!

Hey! In the South, we do in fact add that 'll to just about everything, including names! It's totally ok, and people will definitely understand you if you really want to do it. I say she'll, He'll, they'll, Kate'll, etc. It may not be grammatically correct, but totally normal to do.

Just a note: You don't have to always say "gonna", "gotta" etc. with an "-a" ending. It could lean you into a particular American accent. You can also say "goingnoo" like the guy at 3:43. And "godoo/goduh" for the latter.
Hello guys im from Indonesia. I love this channel. And I wanna learn English more and more. [ Begitu juga dengan Uzbek language] Likewise with the Uzbek language❤️❤️
9:51 Very true! NEVER use slang words or contractions. Write everything out, and make sure to use elegant language. Not doing those two things will ruin your essay
So, just to be clear, filler words and phrases almost never mean just nothing. They almost always have at least some semantic content to modify the meaning of the words around them. Just throwing them in at random when you are trying to think of the right words is a good way to sound very, very silly. For example here's my interpretation of a sentence she used: *By the way* , (semantic content: I am now introducing a new topic of conversation that is not related, or only tangentially related to what we've been talking about. We both should understand that while it could be related to what we've been talking about, this is a completely new topic.) I saw Mark yesterday. *Erm* , (semantic content: Filler word, but does imply a bit of hesitation about bringing up this topic, signaling it is a bit sensitive.) so *obviously* I said 'Hello' to him, (semantic content: We both understand that saying 'hello' is the right and correct thing to do in this situation because of the previous relationship I have with Mark. It would normally be just understood to have happened without me mentioning it, but there is something about this event that I'm about to tell you.) but he *basically* ignored me! (semantic content: He didn't literally ignore me. His response was such that he made it very clear he had no interest in actually talking to me. I felt ignored after the short conversation.)
Very true. This kind of bothered me because those kinds of words aren't meaningless for the most part. Even interjections can add to the meaning of a sentence.
All of the words mentioned as fillers have so much meaning lol Like saying anyway somehow indicates you want to move on from the old conversation or you want to end this conversation. Erm is an expression that shows hesitation. Actually is used to emphasize a point. And many more... sometimes these words are enough to convey a thought so I agree with your comment.
That's true, but to someone trying to understand what the sentence means it would help to condense it to its most basic meaning, even if it's only like 95% true to the intent.
I guess that she suggests to "ignore" them for begginers, to avoid confusion about the actual meaning of the sentence. Yes, fillers add color and certain emphasis, but normally they don't make such difference so they are essential to the phrase. She could've specifically clarified it, but she mentions that you should take the advice "specially if you're struggling to understand things" and so "you don't panic if you don't understand every single word"
As a Non-native speaker, my biggest problem is not getting the right word at a time, even though I practice Vocabulary regularly but whenever I speak, the words just don't involuntarily click in the brain and always end up being a pause in sentences.
Just be patient with yourself and keep pushing. Don't put added pressure on yourself to get over that hurdle quickly. It will come with time. Feel free to message me with any questions.

Really i like watching your videos and your way to help native speaker appeals to me
I'm learning so much from you daily. Thank you..
So, just to be clear, filler words and phrases almost never mean just nothing. They almost always have at least some semantic content to modify the meaning of the words around them. Just throwing them in at random when you are trying to think of the right words is a good way to sound very, very silly.
For example here's my interpretation of a sentence she used: *By the way* , (semantic content: I am now introducing a new topic of conversation that is not related, or only tangentially related to what we've been talking about. We both should understand that while it could be related to what we've been talking about, this is a completely new topic.) I saw Mark yesterday. *Erm* , (semantic content: Filler word, but does imply a bit of hesitation about bringing up this topic, signaling it is a bit sensitive.) so *obviously* I said 'Hello' to him, (semantic content: We both understand that saying 'hello' is the right and correct thing to do in this situation because of the previous relationship I have with Mark. It would normally be just understood to have happened without me mentioning it, but there is something about this event that I'm about to tell you.) but he *basically* ignored me! (semantic content: He didn't literally ignore me. His response was such that he made it very clear he had no interest in actually talking to me. I felt ignored after the short conversation.)
As a fellow native speaker of American English I agree 100%
Very true. This kind of bothered me because those kinds of words aren't meaningless for the most part. Even interjections can add to the meaning of a sentence.
All of the words mentioned as fillers have so much meaning lol Like saying anyway somehow indicates you want to move on from the old conversation or you want to end this conversation. Erm is an expression that shows hesitation. Actually is used to emphasize a point. And many more... sometimes these words are enough to convey a thought so I agree with your comment.
That's true, but to someone trying to understand what the sentence means it would help to condense it to its most basic meaning, even if it's only like 95% true to the intent.
I guess that she suggests to "ignore" them for begginers, to avoid confusion about the actual meaning of the sentence. Yes, fillers add color and certain emphasis, but normally they don't make such difference so they are essential to the phrase. She could've specifically clarified it, but she mentions that you should take the advice "specially if you're struggling to understand things" and so "you don't panic if you don't understand every single word"
As a Non-native speaker, my biggest problem is not getting the right word at a time, even though I practice Vocabulary regularly but whenever I speak, the words just don't involuntarily click in the brain and always end up being a pause in sentences.
Just be patient with yourself and keep pushing. Don't put added pressure on yourself to get over that hurdle quickly. It will come with time. Feel free to message me with any questions.
its ok! lots of people, including native speakers like myself, pause during sentences all the time :0)
