Do you want to improve your pronunciation? I have launched my British English (Modern RP) pronunciation course! I’ll train you to read phonetic transcriptions, and produce each sound that comprises modern received pronunciation. I’ll also teach you how to implement the correct use of intonation, stress, rhythm, connected speech, and much more. We’ll compare similar sounds, and look at tricky topics like the glottal stop and the dark L.
Technically, I need to mark this as an AD even though it is my own company so - AD :)

Goodbye is an abbreviation of "God be with ye". It is the most sincere and heartfelt expression to use in parting, and will be acknowledged as such by educated people.
-
My Dad used say "Take it easy" never heard anyone else say that and 30 years after he's passed I still smile when I think about it ❤☮
-
Almost exclusively my final goodbye is: "cheers" I also like one that I got from the old British TV series "the prisoner"... "Be seeing you".
-
Thank you for your advice As a Moroccan teacher,I always do it reading and listening This IS the best WAY to improve my prononciation. Thank you for your interesting videos
-
We don't say "I've got to make tracks" in America. But we do say "I'm going to hit the road."
-
When I was in London, most people just left with "cheers mate".
-
Saying "goodbye" is always and will always be acceptable.
-
Tara in Filipino language is “let’s go” 😊 was surprise to hear that its a slang for goodbye … thanks for the learnings! ❤
-
All I hear in the UK is always: "Seeee you Laaytaaa!!"
-
Since Covid-19 everybody says "....stay safe, stay safe" when parting or leaving, it's a bit like "take care" or "have a nice day" in that we don't really mean it, but we give ourselves a good pat on the back for pretending to!
-
Good to know that "goodbye" sounds formal to people. I don't think there is a need to sound native. If you already have friends or family speaking English, it will work better if you just sound like them; in my case where I sometimes need to communicate with people from all over the world, being formal is fine.

My Australian mother-in-law was from old school. She'd say, "Tara!" often. As an American, I loved it. It has sung a nice sound.
-
I'm an American and I've never heard someone say "I'm going to make tracks" in my entire life 😂
-
I'm Japanese and thanks a lot for introducing there's so many ways of saying ''Good bye". I'll try to use some of them in the office and on online meetings from next week😎
-
I think the most common casual salutation in the US is "later"... and I think "have a good one" is just as formal as "have a good day". I love your videos btw 💙
-
Toodles! Toodle-oo! Scottish: Bye for now! I frequently say, “I’m off. I’m going too.”
-
"I've got to get going!" that's beautiful! It made remember a phrase that we use a lot in Argentina... "me voy a ir yendo"... three times the verb "to go" in the sentence... it's just beautiful! hahah
-
You’re always the best! I love the way you teach and talk to us! I just want you to know that thanks to you I stopped speaking with the American accent and started speaking in British English! Bye form Italy!
-
Lucy, the information in your video will certainly help me understand my British cousins better. Thank you for teaching British English where this random American can access your lessons.
