Should You Stop Saying Very in English? No. Here’s Why.

Told to stop saying very in English? You've likely heard this advice before. Maybe you've even saved one of those long lists of stronger words. But native speakers use very, really, so, and super every day. This lesson shows you when these words are the right choice and how to pick the word that says exactly what you mean. Advice like "say hilarious, not very funny" can make you doubt words you already know. You start to think very is beginner English. It's not. Stronger words like exhausted and furious give you more choices, but they don't always mean the same thing. Before you replace a familiar phrase, you need to know what the new word really says. You'll learn: ▶ What intensifiers like very, really, so, and super do ▶ Why 'stronger words' don't always work ▶ How to use your voice to show how you feel ▶ When to choose very, really, so, or super ▶ How "not very" makes a negative comment softer Read the full written lesson on my blog: https://www.speakconfidentenglish.com...
