Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Saturday short. Your quick tip for speaking English
better today, Let's look at three really natural phrases, kind of,
sort of and a bit. We use these to soften
what we're saying. They make a statement sound less strong
and less direct, and that makes your English sound more
natural in everyday conversation. Like let's say you're tired after work.
Instead of just saying I'm tired, you can soften it
by saying I'm kinda tired today or I'm a bit
tired after work. Here's another one. Imagine you saw a
movie but you really didn't love it, but you don't
want to sound too negative, so you could say that
movie was so of boring. That's not as harsh as
that movie was boring. So remember, kinda, sorta and a
bit are like little cushions for your sentences. They soften
your opinion, making it sound friendlier and more natural. So
are you kinda ready to try these out in your
own conversations? I bet you are. Oh, and don't forget
