Hey Emma! I use these expressions a lot in my daily speech. And I'm so glad to hear that these expressions are used by native speakers. It gave me lots of courage. Thanks for the lesson ! You're the best, always ❤️

I'm in the middle of creating a lesson on discourse markers for advanced students and I came across this video which made me think, "Well, I should just show them this lesson!" 😅🤣 Such a FANTASTIC lesson! The explanations, conversation examples and editing are 10/10! A perfect example of what ESL teaching on YouTube should be 👏

Do you use discourse markers when you speak in English? Which ones? Or which ones will you try after watching this lesson?!

Hi, Emma. You are the best from the best the in teaching Australian English. I've just finished to lean phrases from the phone conversation videos. They are brilliant and very informative. While I was watching I had thought that I sometimes stuck in phone conversation, because I don't use such small words like "so, right" as natives. Wow, it's fantastic I got a notification about new video with an explanation of them. I really appreciate your work that you're doing.

Hi! Actually, I used to use " Uh huh" very often,and I really wanted to learn some new words to use instead of it. Today, when I got notified that your new lesson is about Discourse Markers, I felt thrilled, because it is what I always wanted to learn.🤩
