I’m sure you already know that ‘like’ as a verb means to enjoy/love.
But did you know that there are 5 other ways that you can use LIKE in English - and they are especially common in informal, spoken English! LIKE can also be an adjective, an adverb, a filler word, a linking word and even, to quote what someone says, does or feels! “Like” is a great tool to help English students to sound natural when they speak English!

Great, Emma, I've never realized that "like" can be used in so many ways! Thank you

When I was a new immigrant, I was like an idiot who had huge problems in understanding fast Canadian English but after six months I was like a different person who felt comfortable watching the news without subtitles. Thank you Emma for this interesting lesson!

Hello Emma! Until recently, I did not understand the English language at all. Thanks to your lessons,the bar of my knowledge is rising higher and higher.Note that a year ago I didn't even know letters or sounds. Thank you!

Really amazing, learnt a lot from you. Thank God for having such a great tutor.. 😊

It's like, when listening to you, everything feels like more clear, like I can finally be like those native speakers who like to use "like" whenever they are at a loss for words, which for me is like all the time when I'm trying to have like a meaningful conversation in English. I think I overplayed it, but I'm thinking teenagers trying to describe something and their love for "like" in every sentence. Love your videos BTW :)

Hi Emma, like always — a great lesson. I lived 4 years in California and in my job I am exposed to many „native“ speakers around the globe. I learned that some words or phrases are common language in some parts of the world, while being offensive or misleading in other parts (mostly the UK). In those kind of lessons could you please mention countries or regions where words are common and can be used and where to avoid them. PS: I am German. Exposed to US, RAS, UK, NZ, and Australien English.
