Speak Better English with Harry | Episode 550

In this episode, you will learn how native English speakers talk when they are not exact. This is common in everyday conversation when people speak about numbers, amounts, or descriptions. Instead of giving a precise answer, they use simple words to give only a general idea. You will often hear this in daily life, on TV, in films, and in conversations between friends.

Many English learners find this difficult to understand because it is not usually taught in textbooks or traditional classes. By learning these expressions, you will understand real spoken English more easily. You will also be able to use them yourself to make your English sound more natural, confident, and fluent in real situations.
