🗣️ <br />Do you still say "I am fine, thank you"? It's the #1 phrase that makes you sound like a textbook, not a fluent English speaker. In this episode of From Textbook to Talk, we unlock the simple, natural phrases that will instantly upgrade your spoken English and make your conversations flow. <br />Learning English from a book is great, but it often doesn't teach you the casual, real-life English used in daily conversations. The classic "How are you? / I am fine, thank you" exchange is grammatically perfect but can sound robotic and even end a conversation before it starts. We're here to fix that. <br />In this video, you will learn: <br />✅ Why your textbook answer ("I am fine, thank you") can make conversations feel awkward. <br />✅ Casual, friendly ways to ask how someone is, like a native speaker (e.g., "How's it going?", "What's new?"). <br />✅ Simple, natural responses that will make you sound confident and friendly ("I'm good, thanks!", "Not too bad."). <br />✅ The secret to keeping a conversation going by asking the question back naturally. <br />If you want to move from beginner English to confident, natural English, this lesson is your first step. Start sounding more like a real person and less like a textbook today! <br />💬 What's YOUR favorite natural English greeting?
