Fielding English

Running a few minutes behind? 🏃‍♀️☕️ Stop just saying “I’m late” and let’s level up your everyday vocabulary!

You don’t always need formal English for casual situations. Here is how to handle being late depending on the context:

🟡 A2 Level: “Sorry, I’m a bit late!”
Why it works: Adding “a bit” softens the apology when you are only 2 or 3 minutes behind.

🔵 B1 Level: “Sorry for being late!”
Why it works: Perfect for when you actually miss the start of something, like a movie or a meeting.

This is what Living English is all about—giving you the exact phrases you need for real-life moments. Keep it casual, keep it friendly, and keep learning! 💛

Stop freezing in English! 🥶 You need “Anchor Phrases”! ⚓️

Anchor phrases are those quick, everyday reactions that keep a conversation flowing. If you try to translate things like “Que s**o” or “Já era” directly, it just doesn’t work.

Here is how you actually say them:
Já era ➔ It’s over / It’s too late
Eu pago ➔ It’s on me / My treat
Vale a pena ➔ It’s worth it
Que s**o ➔ It’s annoying! /That sucks /What a pain
É o suficiente ➔ That’s enough / It’s enough!

In Portuguese, we use filler words like “tipo,” “né,” and “sabe” all the time. To sound like a native English speaker, you need to know their English equivalents!
Here is how you actually say them:

Tipo... ➔ Like...
Sabe? ➔ You know?
Né? ➔ Right?
Com certeza! ➔ For sure!
Pois é ➔ Yeah, I know
Caramba! ➔ Damn! / Wow!
Literalmente ➔ Literally
