977 - Conversational Response Phrases In English
About this episode
Let’s go to the beach? Yeah, sounds like a plan. Do you ever notice that when someone makes a suggestion in English, native speakers often answer with very short phrases? Things like:
“Sounds good.”
“That works.”
“No problem.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
These responses are everywhere in spoken English — at work, with friends, on the phone, and in text messages.
Today, let’s look at these very common response phrases native speakers use to respond to ideas, plans, and requests — and how each one sounds just a little different.
