DO NOT SAY 'I think...' - say THIS instead - 21 more advanced alternative phrases

As someone once said " When you talk, you repeat what you already know; when you listen, you often learn something" and I really learn a lot, thank you!

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's an by trying to make it objectified , and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say

She is very knowledgeable and cute in her expressions, love it

I always love English with Lucy ! the best english teacher ever !

She says that the " I think " is boring and use the following instead of it 2:19 I'm not going to lie (NGL) 2:55 in all honesty 3:15 in my view 3:49 if you ask me 4:08 as far as I can tell 4:27 to my mind 4:42 as far as I'm concerned 5:13 the way I see things 5:30 as I see things 6:20 it seems to me that 7:08 I believe 7:24 I would say, / I'd say 7:58 I consider ... to be ... 8:18 to me 9:23 from my point of view 9:30 it is my view that/ belief that 10:23 I reckon 11:10 I honestly believe that ... : : : I give up Surmirizing this movie, I think, she is beautifull!!

I’m not going to lie, but in all honesty I think that if you ask me I would answer that as far as I’m concerned I believe that I’m guilty of overusing ‘I think’ in my youtube videos :-)

Back to Lucy: Rekon is very common in the USA, usually in rural areas.

HELLO😊Although this video is from four years ago, I happened to come across it because I want to speak English fluently. I really liked it. I am Japanese, but I have cousins in the UK and Canada, and the president of my current company is American. The company's partner is a British company. In any case, speaking English fluently is my dream."

Can we just take a moment to thank Lucy for writing that juicy story 😂👌❤ and I'll surely be sharing this video with friends!

Absolutely loved the examples. Turned into such a funny story.😆

In my view, Lucy is is a great teacher.

I listen to all your english videos as a non-native speaker to impress an upperclass boss at work, and when I see him I get so flustered nothing comes out of my mouth😮

I personally believe this was the cutest example of how to elevate our vocabulary! Well done! And congratulations on your up coming wedding! So exciting!!!

Good evening! Splendid video as always! For today in my English online class we had to write about our favorite YouTube channel and since your channel is my favorite, I wrote about it. We even watched a few of the alternatives in the begging and in my view it was really nifty for me, my classmates and my teacher. Thank you for the lesson!❤

I'm an American. To answer your question about, "I reckon," it is common in America, but mostly in the south or in very rural areas. I have always associated it with what we might call, "Hillbillies," e.g., Jed Clampett and family. Another comment is that I really don't like when people say, "To be honest, ..." and the variations of that. It implies to me that everything else they've said is not honest. My recommendation to decrease the use of, "I think ..." is to just leave it off and start right in with what you want to say. I really enjoy your videos and the way you speak. I find most British accents very unpleasant to hear, but yours is so easy on the ears. I enjoyed your videos demonstrating different British accents.

To me, I come here just to see beautiful Lucy 😄 The lesson's actually a bonus to me.

I love the hilarious story that you wove throughout this lesson and as I see it, you did a great job! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

The storytelling through examples got me so invested in the story that I completely forgot the purpose of the video. I was imagining the scenario of a mean lady who later converted into downright crazy. I must applaud your delivery with a stoic face too for that made me burst with laughter. 😂😂😂 Would love to see more videos of such format. You rock! P.S.- Gonna watch again to remember the 21 substitutes.

I am currently in the process of writing my first novel, and I am going to use some of these to create my character voice, I have a character who is really Posh and some of these examples really fit her, especially number 7, number 7 really sound how she talk, love the video.

NGL, she's one of the best English teachers I encountered.
