- Sound like a native speaker - replace these overused words in your English!

Today, I am going to teach you what are some overused words in English and what are the alternatives that you can use to sound more like a native speaker.
(1) LIKE. I’m not talking about the filler word “like,” as in, “I want, like, go skating.” I’m talking about the verb, 'like'. You can use 'admire', 'adore', 'cherish', 'fancy' instead.
(2) IMPORTANT. If you want to identify some detail or idea as important, alternate possibilities you might use incorporate ‘significant’, ‘vital’, ‘critical’, ‘imperative’ and ‘essential’.
(3) NEW. This word is used over and over again in English. For example, you can replace it with 'updated' or 'modern'.
(4) REALLY. Think of it this way: If you’re saying something is “really” tall, you’re missing the mark. How tall is it? Quantify it. If something has “really” improved, readers want to know how much. Qualify it.
(5) AND. Typically overused by being placed multiple times in the same sentence. Simply break up the sentence into multiple sentences or replace the conjunction with the words 'moreover' or 'in addition to'.
(6) INTERESTING. This word is widely used and yoг can replace it with 'cool', 'mesmerizing'.
(7) GOOD. People consider this word as an average compliment. Replace it with 'amazing', 'fascinating', 'mesmerizing', 'impressive'
(8) SMART. A smart person has probably been called 'smart' countless times, but how many times have they been called 'wise' or 'ingenious'? Use these alternatives instead of overused 'smart'
(9) EXPLAIN. It’s common to say that you’re going to ‘explain’ something in your essay or speech. Other options here include ‘clarify’, ‘elaborate’.
(10) THING. Instead of this word you can use 'concept' but make sure you use it correctly. This is one of many synonyms you can use.
(11) SEE. There are so many alternatives that you can use! The most common ones are 'glimpse', 'stare', 'observe', 'notice'.
(12) ALSO. This one and “and” are overused. The word ‘also’ is great for connecting two related sentences but you might need a few alternatives in a longer essay (‘furthermore’, ‘moreover’, ‘in addition’)
(13) CHANGE. Possible replacements for the verb ‘change’ include ‘transform’, ‘modify’ and ‘adjust’.
(14) SAID. If you’re quoting several sources, you might find yourself using ‘said’ or ‘says’ a lot. To prevent repetition, try using these alternatives: 'claimed', 'stated', 'declared', 'argued', 'suggested', 'explained'.

@@spicemalone167 😂😂😂😂
You just used the most overused word in the English dictionary today: Amazing. I cannot tell you how many times I’m sick and tired of hearing and seeing this word. Along with the word epic.
@@gmar7836 oh ok sorry if I made that horrible mistake. I'm still learning and that you wrote motivates me to learn more and more.
@@williamandres9094 no worries William! Everywhere I go even on CZcams every person uses the word amazing and epic and they are way overused. I just don’t get it, us Americans need to expand our vocabulary. Instead of using the word amazing I like to use the word “stellar”. For example
Wow, Your learnings are sky-high, it looks simple but, when executed I feel amazing and delighted

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Ngl, this was an impressive and mesmerizing session.. it kept me so captivated throughout! I significantly adore you and your videos they're just as awesome as you are! I'm so grateful to have teachers like you and Lucy. Thank you ❤
