Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Sunday. Speak every Sunday. I'll be here with
a quick one point tip to help you speak English
more naturally. One thing you need to know how to
do in English is to communicate that you understood what
someone said. Like if someone gives you directions on the street,
you could say, oh, okay, I understand and sure that's
correct English, but it can sound a little formal or
stiff in everyday conversation. So instead of that, you can
use the compact form of I understand. Gotcha. Gotcha is
the short and quick version of I got what you said.
I got what you said. Gotcha. Like your friend says
let's meet at seven instead of six, you can just
reply gotcha. Or your coworker says, hey, don't forget to
send that email before lunch, and you can answer gotcha.
Or when someone gives you directions turn left to the
bank and then right at the gas station, you can
simply say turn left and then right, gotcha. It's short,
it's casual, and it sounds supernatural. So next time, instead
of I understand, try saying gotcha, and remember to like,
follow and subscribe. So you won't miss the next Happy
English podcast and next week's Sunday Speak. Hey, thanks for listening,
and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
