Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another

Happy English Saturday Short. Your quick tip for speaking English

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,199
better today, let's look at a commonly used conversational phrase,

4
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:21,079
by the way. We use by the way when we

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,440
want to add something to the conversation, kind of like

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,239
when we need to change the topic or bring up

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,799
an extra point. It's casual, friendly and super common in

8
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:38,280
everyday English. Like if you're at a party catching up

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,320
with a friend, you can say something like it's great

10
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:45,719
seeing you tonight. Oh, and by the way, how's your

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,079
brother doing? Or if you're talking to a coworker about

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,759
something and you want to add another point, the conversation

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,759
can go like this, Yeah, I finally finished that coding

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,119
project this morning. Oh, by by the way, did you

15
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:04,319
get a chance to check your email? Using by the

16
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,040
way is like saying, oh, there's one more thing, but

17
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:12,480
in a natural conversational way. By the way. What do
