Informal vs Formal Expressions

This video teaches English learners how to recognize and use informal and formal expressions correctly in real conversations. Many learners understand basic English but struggle with choosing the right tone. This lesson compares common expressions that share similar meanings but sound very different depending on the situation. You will see how I understand becomes I got it in informal speech, and how I don’t understand changes to I’m lost in casual conversations. The video also explains tone differences between I finished and I’m done for the day, as well as I failed versus I bombed it. These examples help learners understand when casual language sounds natural and when it may sound unprofessional. This video is ideal for adult learners who want to sound more natural with friends while staying appropriate at work or formal settings. By understanding informal and formal expressions, you can improve confidence, avoid misunderstandings, and communicate more effectively in social, professional, and everyday English situations.
