STOP using "NO"! Use these alternatives to SOUND LIKE A NATIVE

- The word "no" is short, negative and emphatic. However, sometimes it's better to use more polite alternatives. There are a number of different ways to say "no" in English that you can use in different circumstances.

This video was filmed in this location (Palo Alto): bit.ly/2OQR2F0
(1) FORMAL ALTERNATIVES
- I am afraid not
This is probably one of the most polite ways to say "no" in English. You may be asked to go to a party or meet your friends for something to eat. You would like to go but for some reason you are unable to attend. In this situation, you can turn down the invitation in a polite way.
- Not really
Not quite, not particularly. In this situation you are asked what you might like to do. You would prefer to do something else or indeed you might prefer to do nothing.
- Probably/possibly not
Where you may not feel that you are likely to succeed but you are still going to try then you can use either "probably/possibly not".
- Not to my knowledge
This is a much more formal denial. This would be best used in a business context where you do not really know the person, to whom you are talking, very well.
(2) INFORMAL ALTERNATIVES
- Certainly not
This is a much more firm denial or refusal and can be used when you want the person you are talking to, to be clear as to what you mean.
- You must be joking
When you cannot believe that someone is serious about something you can use the phrase "you must be joking"
- No way
Sometimes said as a joke or also as a more serious statement. Usually used to tell somebody that you cannot agree with what they have said.
(3) CASUAL ALTERNATIVES
- I'm good
- Not right now
- Nah
- Nope
- Never

Love from India ❤️
I am from India and i love way you tell english I like your voice and really its amazing💙🇮🇳
I am from Pakistan. First of all we used to speak Urdu. So first when I started watching other TH-camrs I really didn't understand what they are saying because they speak so fast without a break. But you are an angel on earth. It's very easy to listen you. Your accent made me to speak English flawlessly.
Thanks Marina
Actually I do not want to learn American English but I still enjoy watching your videos because your English is really clear, and you are always sharing useful phrases and idioms everytime. THAT'S WHY I LIKE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL!😊
Thank you so much, Marina for all your classes! The reason why I started following your channel was that you were different from all the other TH-camrs who teach English, and that is: you know the struggle of learning this language. I also follow great english TH-camr teachers, but they are already natives, so they don't know what we, as a foreigners, have to go through to master the language. You do! And I love your channel! ❤️✨
Marina you're the best !!❤👍🏻
I'm 16 years old , even my teacher doesn't teach like that 🙂
Yeah 😄

2- I like that you make a lot of videos about replacing overused words with another alternatives
3- I like the way you talk and being positive, energetic and joyful
4- You're not boring
5- Your accent is so understandable
6- I love your smile ❤️
the reasons: you’re soo cutee ❤️ and i can easily get you accent ‘cause you’re talking so calmly and clear 🧚🏻♀️ the last one is the things that you’ve been talking about (like use these phrases instead!) are so good and looks necessary to me for talking as a native speaker 😊 love you & little emily!!
I've been learning so much by just watching your powerful videos as it helps me sound more like a professional at work . Thank you so much awesome Marina. Take care 😊
I've got loads of things from your channel. I've learnt how to pronounce English words, how to expand my vocabulary and that's the main reason why I'm following your channels. Thank you so much😄
Hello Marina,the reason why I really like your videos is you're one of the best teachers which I have ever seen and you're actually improving my accent,as well as teaching some cool vocabularies in daily life,and avoiding informal situations. Keep it up
I'm from KZ, and I appreciate that you explain everything in much easier way, also you encourage others to do everything in our taste, listen ourselves not to copy from others, wish you best!

The way you speak is cordial, attractive,polite, exceptional, gracious and absolutely perfect before starting learning to speak in US (American accent)I had my sight on 2 more youtubers who also used to give English lectures suddenly I saw u and ur beauty attracted me to ❤️😁🥰🥰 and the way you speak is easy to understand I mean I can understand you being a beginner listening to a native speaker rest others speak like ***they just speak and don't make sure that listeners would understand it or not. But you are such a top quality speaker,teacher and a tutor to me I just love you maryy..... Enormous amples of love from India.🎉🎉🙏🙏❤️
I can't thank you enough for your efforts for preparing these lessons with so much meaning and passion! 🙏
Because of your beauty makes me feel like studying English.
Hey Marina, I like the "Nope" instead of no to reply my friends... Once again thank you for another amazing video....❤💕👍
That's easy to answer: I'm already speaking English fluently, and I'm an English teacher in Mexico, originally from Germany, and I'm watching your channel because you are absolutely brilliant, and as a teacher I try to bring some of your consummate ease, interminable joy and absolute love into my own classes. I just love you so much.
you add some movies clips to show the examples so i love that part. I find this part too good😊
Me too
The way you speak, the way you teach, and the way you smile is really awesome...I really love it
Because your channel amazing! There are so many channels that they are about learning English but there is no channel which like your channel. Your channel is one ♥️. You give us motivation, you give us energy, you give us advice, you give us help. You're doing your best! With your help, with Linguatrip's help, I took 7.5 from IELTS! Thank you so so much! Adore you, you're best. I know actually that I won't find teacher like you in my future life because there is no another teacher better than you!

Hey there, I absolutely love watching your videos. They are really good, I love the way you teach us a particular word or phrase by explaining it with the help of examples ( and facial expressions of course ). Your content is great and you have a video for everything. And when compared to other youtubers , you are better than all of them.......great work, keep going!
Love from India ❤ :)
I really admire your channel because of your teaching skills where you keep things simple and basic and i really like how you describe everything with an example. Even a layman would have no difficulty in comprehending your topics. Keep going kudos
I love your channel, not only because of your teaching skills but also because of the way you talking, I mean you're the most adorable teacher I've ever known
I am practicing my English so I can coach my clients. I am a personal trainer and I live in Ii, Finland . Love your channel ❤
Your accent is good, so I can understand you. And I learnt a lot of information from your channel!
You are excellent ❤️!
I really like watching this channel. There are numerous reasons but to sum up, especially I like your positive energy and of course also the information that you give us is really precious. Your accent is so comprehensible. And the examples that you give to any topic are so helpful to understand them well. Yeah so, this kind of reasons make me motivate to follow your channel regularly. Thanks for everything Marina! :)
Your way of speaking is very active. So your videos are never boring. That is why I always like to watch your channel. Thank you, Marina.
6:45 my long answer for your question is : you have a uniq way in teaching , I really like how you choose the topics I think it’s interesting like when you make a video about stop saying that say this instead and you explain why this way really helped me improving my vocabulary and your English is so pure so I understand every single word , thanks for your hard work 🥺💞
You look like a perfect English Trainer.
You look and observe things so clearly and keenly that you have so much to say about... It all looks effective and by that I come to conclusion that you work really very hard unlike other youtubers.
You don't bore me.. Other English teaching youtubers are irresistable.
You talk soo clearly and it attracts me to watch your videos .... and truly speaking you tell in such a different way that it doesn't feels like watching other youtubers teaching english like native ones.last thing I wanna say

your accent your voice the way you talk easy to understand, as we say in iraq
"you don’t eat Letters" you pronounce all the Letters
The thing is special on your channel is u r explaining each and everything don't mind it but you r better then English with Lucy in my eyes 👀 sorry if someone hurts
there are several ways to watch your video
your ancient is so easy to hear and I can recognize every single word
your video is so hopeful that I could learn more and improve my English day by day
and the last one is I love the way you teach English is so easier to remember than any English TH-camrs and I wanna say thank you so much for being an English teacher
Because the way you teach English is amazing. Your accent is clear and watching your videos is super easy without subtitles.
Marina, I owe u a big time 'cause of u I started to speak in English and I'm delighted to see ur channel
Hi ! WOW you are an ARMY.....😱😱😱 YOU KNOW ABOUT BTS...WOW😲😲😲
@@user-qr3tz6rc8y Yup....where are u from amiiii??
Hi Marina. You asked "why are you watching this channel?". There are several reasons I can say.
1. Pronunciation : Your pronunciation is very clear to me. It's very understandable. And it encourages me to watch more youtube channels to study English.
2. Topics : Topics that you have chosen are useful and interesting although I don't have any plan to live or work in San Francisco. I'm subscriber of your two channels that are "Linguamarina" and "Sillyconbellygirl". I think that's because you are from Russia so you know what are important and what should we know as a foreigner.
3. Background : I love the background scenery of your video. I have been to San Francisco and LA in 2009 and 2010. I never forget how beautiful they are.
Thank you Marina.
It's silicone valley girl, not belly girl
Your accent is very clear and understandable. What you teach is far far good from any english teacher I ever had. That's why I love to watch your videos. Thank you, Marina!
i adore how you give examples for everything
i like your explanation and like how the " AMERICAN" people spoke english
I'm from India n I'm 13 n Ur accent n explaination is way more better than other TH-camrs n I really enjoy watching ur videos cuz they really help me understand English n it all clear my doubts so pls keep making videos like this more often
Regards ... 😚🤗
Well, I watch your channel because of plethora of reasons but the most specific thing if I will have to shortlist then that's non other than your lively expressions which seems to be very friendly and interactive, and makes your videos really amazing 👍
The reason i watch your video is you are so jolly, open, fun, fluent and easy
I reallyyyy love watching your videos! your pronunciation make me easy to understand 😘. Thank you for making this useful channel 🥺❤️ I'm still learning English huhu. I really love speaking English but I'm not really fluent 😌 everytime I watch yr video, it really helps me to improve my English better! 🌹 wishing you a happy life Lingua Marina 😇
your English is awesome💜 Don't give up dear...u can do it, believe in yourself
I watch a tons of videos of other utubers in the past few years nd that was seems like i am sitting in a particular class......
About u i really glad and greatful that i found ur channel .....ur way of teaching is kinda like a conversation not a lesson ....nd ur way of talking .....ur accents....ur personality....ur positivity is just over the top.....
I dont have to think to click on ur video.....nd i watch ur videos on repeat and still i found them interesting......
I can write alot how humbly thankful i am to u .....
Keep teaching us ....
Stat heathy and stay safe......
Hey Simranjeet. I want to suggest you that you should not use that many full stops(dots) .Marina had told us in one of her video not to use that many(maximum 3 dots are enough)(specially adviced to Indian students like us!!)
I hope you will understand this.(◕ᴗ◕✿).
I watch ur videos often because firstly i like u and i like your way of teaching this language not only this but the content of ur videos os super informative and most importantly u don't talk really fast which is a great thing because most english learners get frustrated when they realize that they can't understand a single word that an native speaker is saying so thank u so much Marina.
I like how your video is straight to point and your accent is quite understandable which makes it easier to understand

How did you pronounce PROBABLY ?
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️🙏🏻
Is it a good idea to listen to someone who was not born in an English speaking country?
I watch your videos because I love your accent and I can understand most of the things you say, the way you pronounce the words and say them is very clear. I found your channel by chance about 2 months ago and since then I have used your videos as podcasts, I listen to them every day, they are very useful as I practice my listening, and learn more new words at the same time.
you had same problems as i have now, and it's amazing that a non-native speaker like you can speak influent and you know the problems that most of the learners are struggling with.
Hii ma'am can you tell me 😢 difference between in grammatically and American English language ( speaking) there is any difference ma'am it is important that we should be speak grammatically speak in English 😢. Today I feel so bad
My friend said to me that your English is not so good because u r not use grammar in your speaking he said you should speak according to grammar ok . U always removed lots of word in your English 😢😢
Now I wanna improve my English 👍😢😢 can u made one video for this that please ma'am
Lemme explain frst ..see if u r removing the grammer wrds..its okk..but if u write duh sentences in exm or whatever ..the grammer should be use ...but if u r talking with someone it is right..so carry on dude..don't worry ur eng is much better than me ...i m also learning eng..if u find any mistakes then forgive me..okk byh
You should probably use a perfect grammatical sentence if you are writing an exam or a test or having an formal interview with someone
Else where you could use any type of English vocabulary you know , the person sitting next to you will understand it
****Hello everyone Linguamarina we love you 415 - like to read the comment****
I watch your channel because you're one of the most creative language TH-camrs out there!Excellent!
I love your English teaching skill because you are the only one who understand the English learner problems and make videos on it.
