Stop saying just “Hello”! Are you still boring everyone with that same word every day? I’ll show you 15 English phrases that will make you sound natural and confident instantly! 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to our English practice time. Let me ask you something: when you meet someone, do you only say “Hello”? That’s okay… but native speakers use many more natural phrases! 

Today, we’ll learn three small but powerful topics:
• Greetings – different ways to say hello.
• Introducing yourself – tell people who you are.
• Asking about health – how to check in and reply naturally.

 

By the end of this lesson, you’ll sound more natural, more confident, and more friendly in English. Are you ready? Let’s start! 

 

TOPIC 1: GREETINGS 
Explanation 
First, greetings. Greetings are the words we use when we meet someone. They make people feel welcome. If you only say “Hello,” that’s fine, but let’s learn more interesting ways.

 

Practice 
Read and repeat after me. First slowly, then faster.
1. Hello! → “Hello! … Hello! … Hello!”
2. Hi there! → “Hi there! … Hi there! … Hi there!”
3. Good morning! → “Good morning! … Good morning! … Good morning!”
4. Good evening! → “Good evening! … Good evening! … Good evening!”
5. Nice to see you! → “Nice to see you! … Nice to see you! … Nice to see you!”

 

Mini challenge 
Now, I’ll say one greeting without subtitles. Can you guess which one it is? Ready? … “Hi there!”. Did you get it? Comment below! 

Wrap-up 
Great job! Now you know five greetings. Use them with friends, teachers, or colleagues. Which one do you like most? Tell me in the comments.

 

TOPIC 2: INTRODUCING YOURSELF 
Explanation 
After greeting, the next step is introducing yourself. When you meet someone new, you usually tell them your name, where you’re from, or what you do.

Practice 
Read and repeat after me. First slowly, then faster.
1. My name is Lan. → “My name is Anna … My name is Lan … My name is Lan”.
2. I’m from Vietnam. → “I’m from Vietnam … I’m from Vietnam … I’m from Vietnam”.
3. I’m a student. → “I’m a student … I’m a student … I’m a student.
4. Nice to meet you! → “Nice to meet you … Nice to meet you … Nice to meet you.
5. I like reading books. → “I like reading books … I like reading books … I like reading books”

Mini challenge 
Now, let’s play. I will introduce myself, and you try to copy me. Ready? … “Hi, my name is Anna. I’m from Canada. I like reading books”. Now your turn! Say it out loud!

 

Wrap-up 
Excellent! Now you can introduce yourself in English. Next time you meet a new friend, use these sentences.

 

TOPIC 3: ASKING ABOUT HEALTH 
Explanation 
Finally, when we talk with someone, it’s polite to ask about their health or feelings. It shows care and friendliness. Let’s learn some common questions and answers.

 

Practice 
Repeat after me, slowly first, then faster!
1. How are you? → “How are you? … How are you? … How are you?”
2. I’m fine, thank you. → “I’m fine, thank you … I’m fine, thank you … I’m fine, thank you.”
3. I’m good. → “I’m good … I’m good … I’m good”.
4. Not bad. → “Not bad … Not bad … Not bad”.
6. I’m tired today. → “I’m tired today … I’m tired today … I’m tired today”.

 

Mini challenge 
Now, I’ll ask you: “How are you?”. And you answer in English! Write your answer below in the comments.

Wrap-up 
Awesome! Now you know how to ask and answer about health. Use it with friends every day.
