- How would you respond to the simple question "How are you?" A generic "I'm fine, thanks" is the kind of answer we've all learned at school. In reality, native English speakers find it boring and avoid using this phrase. In this video, you will find both formal and informal alternatives that you can use in daily life.

Thank you for this lesson Marina... I found out your channel 2 weeks ago and I falling in love with.. It's so comfortable see someone who wasn't born in U.S. or U.K. speaking so well and encouraging people around the world! I'm feel happy and hopefully to keep my way on this journey to learn English. Best!!
Hi!

Thank you so much for the lesson Marina!
For me, I'm exhausted by thoughts and emotions, because I recently broke up with my boyfriend and I got fired from my job for no reason! I've been going through really tough days but I hope everything will be all right soon insha'Allah!
Insha Allah
ان شاء الله
I hope everything is much better now. Stay strong

well explained , how to answered simple question "How are you" with both strangers and acquittances . For it, appreciate your effort for making such a great video ....
Thank you so much for giving this beautiful, vocabulary 😋😘
"At this point, I'm afraid to talk."
😹😹😹😹
I think we can also say "I'm pretty good"
Nope. I don't like that. Makes no sense.
Nina Bennett well some natives use it so it’s correct
Nina Bennett that’s what most people in America answer to “how are you” hahaha
No complains, as good as I can be.....This is the best answer according to me
@@AshSharkpoetry There's no best answer to this.
Thank you so much. You have a good voice projection giving so much energy to your teaching. Just wondering about the brand of the mic you're using. Thanks again!
I am great...your way of explaining is so good...I can't get enough of your videos...I get boost up by watching your videos...I am gaining confident in english....all thanks to you ❤️
they ask you *"How are you"* , and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand.
Yes that correct
Next topic: the differences between in, into and at.
I am great by enjoying my free time and also excited with your video lessons. Thank you for all.
My friend : How are you?
Me : Im exhausted. I'm tired of taking care someone's feelings.
It sounds like one kind of greeting. When people ask me 'How are you', for not talking much detail, I usually say 'Everything is OK'.
There are many kinds of phrases to start a conversation. As the video said, it equals to 'Hello'.
I love this lesson! It’s so true. I always tell my English students there are so many more interesting and natural ways to respond to “How are you?”
She’s an awful teacher, sounds Russian. Zero clue
@@parsmon1021 no!she is also good!
Dudas true
How can i do to be your student too?
How are you?
Not bad😊
I respect you very high degree because I like your English language practices and for our explains. Hence, I always use your channel. You are the best English teacher that I knew.👍👍👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Everything good! Marina, thank you very much fo your super useful lesson! Really, that's beyound awesome! :)
🙌 Marina, I can't complain! Yes, sometimes bad things happen, but there is also something good happens with us each day! I've just watched your new video, and this is so cool!!! Please, always give us more tips, more beautiful phrases in English! It's so exciting to practice English with you!
I'm exhausted
I'm so stressed out right now
I'm stressed out all the time , but after watching your videos I really feel that I'm out of all pressure. Keep it up.🙂
Last year I start to watch your videos.
This is awesome Marina.
Keep going.
Stressed out!! I'm thrilled although your video make me more confidient my English. I just watching your video just one day by day, Thanks marina❤
You: - How are you?
Me: - I'm fine.
Thats how one start learning English in School (if you are not a native)
When they say, how are you?
People are NOT actually asking how you are.
It is simply a greeting. A way of being cordial Do not tell them how you are. They don’t care.
True
The answer is I'm Great.
Whatever, the lesson was so cool.Thanks a lot Marina.
You're such a expression queen 😘I love your teaching!!
I'm great right now and I hope everyone is safe as well.
linguamarina: "How are you?"
me: "yeah, learning from your videos"😍😍
If anyone asks me "how are you ", i will say " i am not dead yet". This is the best answer to this.
Mom: How’re you ?
My mind: Smiling
Me: I love you mom.
"I can't complain."
That's me telling people, that I actually have a lot of things going on in my brain but I'm keeping these problems and or trying to find solutions without lying to them about what I really feel and bragging about it. 😂
Thank you Linguamarina.
I like to say ''I'm cool and dandy."
I like ur channels mam 🙂and ur English I'm from🇮🇳 India
Do you know da wae
Me too india
from Sri Lanka...😜😜😜😜
Am From India Too
Am also
generic answer is actually: good, and you?
especially for people you've never met or barely know
It's perfectly fine to say " I'm fine thanks". You answer this way to someone that is either a stranger, acquaintance etc. Because you are not going to answer in detail. The person asking isn't really interested it's just a polite version of "hello".. No one is going to start rambling all the good or bad things they are experiencing that day.
If it is a close friend and or a family member and they are genuinely asking and you can usually tell because they notice something is wrong. Then you can also say I am fine and it would signal you don't want to talk about it. Or if you do, and you noticed it was as I said a genuine wanting to know question, you spill the beans and say how your day was.
When someone asks me "How's it going" I reply "It's going".. Meaning "same shit different day" or "as usual" and it also means I am not getting into it. No one wants a full story in reply. It's just common sense.
That was a great lesson. Thank you!!! I came from Taiwan and I thought I was the only one who had a problem with answering a simple question of "How are you?" In Taiwan we simply say "Hello" to each other and if we really care, we would follow up with a more specific question. This way the one answering gets the hint that you truly want to know more about them.
I’m stressed out now about exams that to start soon and I’ve a lot of preparation to do! Thanks you for your content!👍🏼
I usually forget to tell I'm good , and end up in repeating hey, how are you?
I love this lesson. Thank you
I am well. I am learning more about the way my mind works, how I bottle up my emotions, and how to be humble about what I’m going through in honest conversation with loved ones.
I’m kinda frustrated because my friend always says their fine, when I have a feeling their not :/
Thank you for updating us for correct replies.Please stay blessed.
we can replay 1. I am doing really well. 2. fantastic 3. not too bad 4. I am alive. but mam this video helped me think more about this question'' How are you?''' thank u so much mam.....
I've been better!! At this moment, I'm crossing through the desert of life, but I have faith that right ahead of me, I'll find green fields and water springs.
*Thank you dear Marina for this wonderful video! Always helpful! I use different techniques that help me to learn English and I am happy to see good results )) With your videos it’s much easier ❤️*
Cool! *Cool!*
You dont know how i get good feeling whenever i see you. You are full of energy
Thank you marina for lessons
Saying "I'm fine" is the second most common response to "How are you?" with first being "I'm good"
Some one ask me : how are you ?
My mind : I'm exausted but
My mouth : I'm fine !
What about you ?
My mind : you deserve noble for your lying . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Novel?!? 😂
Also me 😂👌😂

When I went on a trip to Orlando I also heard a lot of people saying: so far so good and I'm chill
"Never been better." Often gets a smile and sometimes a pleasant conversation.

Hi Marina,
I'm so stressed out lately. But your video always make my day. Thank you for that 😄

Came here just to hear her beautiful voice again ❤️
Someone: how are you?
I have been better.
And how are Marina?
I very much appreciate your suggestions because I find “How are you?” Very frustrating question because it’s very superficial and annoying. Then again it really weeds out who are strangers and who can be a friend. Now I’m using how I respond to this question in more helpful ways. Thanks 😮🎉
Marina, the best english teacher ever.
Sepical one - " how are you "
Inside me - " I'm alone "
me - I'm fine
🙁🙁
I'm fucked 😂😂😂
Can I talk to you bro plz I want to improve my english
No worries ... Alwaz be happy , never mind if u r alone ... Bcoz u urself iz the best companion of ur own
Not sure if you are just joking, but I used to feel that way. Now I think many people feel that way and just not saying it, so I talk to them assuming they also feel alone.
but they still behave like that what's happening (inside)
Thank you for your good english lesson. I'm exhausted. I helped other people's work. I couldn't reject their help request. I want to take a rest. I can't take a rest. Because I feel insecure when i don't do anything.
You're videos are very helpful 😀
