byte

6/7. The sixth I failed. I thought the correct answer to use was “its” not “it’s”
I was wrong. By the way, exist one expression in French which I think it’s delicious, they used to say ” Ça vat….hein” anytime they gave one opinion they end with it “ça vat …. hein”

Jorge Pedroso

very interesting.I used to hear this(you know) specially in movies,the thing is,it’s annoying sometimes because they say it in every sentence.
Anyway I got 6 out of 7…………………….
I love your accent Ben ♥

Thank you sir.
It was very nice lesson .

noha yaseen

I’m a little bit confused about the second question of the quiz!
2. A man asks you a question. You don’t know the answer. You give yourself time by saying:
– er (It tells that’s the right answer)
– erv
– or
– uck

But I still don’t get it! ‘Er’?
Does it stands for noises like ‘Urgh’ or ‘Urm’?

HappyErika

er is correct

bros pok

:) Thanks!

Erzsebet Baudelaire

That was a very strange lesson…

AndreaCabiola

Hi Benjamin! Good lesson :)

Can I ask something? I just realized that I am using “You know…” very often, e.g. when I talk with my Erasmus friend at beer… But problem is that I use this phrase in little different concept as you shown in video.

I use it when something is hard to say for me (because my english is not so perfect, especially when I am drunk), but I am sure that my conversation partner knows what I mean (from the context and previous talking).

Can I use it in these situations or not? Thank you.

koprdil

I got 4 correct out of 7.
