Don’t Always Say I’M GOOD in English - Say This Instead! | English Vocabulary Lesson

Stop saying, I'm good in English. Okay, I'm good is something that native speakers say all the time. It's probably the most common response to the question, how are you? However, if you want to spice up your vocabulary, there are several common alternatives to I'm good, which I'm going to teach you in today's video. If you're having a casual everyday conversation with your friends and somebody asks you, how are you? You could say, pretty good. You? Solid day so far. Solid day so far. Can't complain. Busy, but the good kind. Not bad at all. How about you? I'm doing alright. I'm doing pretty well. If you're at a professional or networking event, you probably want to be a bit more formal. You could say, I'm doing well. Working on a new project right now. I'm staying busy. And yourself? I'm having a really good week, actually. What about you? I have a lot going on, but I'm doing well. I can't complain. Things are moving in the right direction. If you're in a job interview, you could say, I'm doing well, thanks. Glad to be here. Good, thank you. I've been looking forward to this. I'm doing well. I appreciate you making the time. I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. If you're meeting somebody you haven't seen in a long time, you could say, It's been too long.
