Native English: Think you really know English?

English, the international language that is spoken most in India than the national language itself but the common English we throw around words sound like. “Hi”, “How are you” “It is a great day” and so on. This can be called basic English something you are typically taught at school but native English which is spoken in English spoken countries like the US, UK, and Australia differs a lot more than our daily English.

Native speakers use a variety of slang. It can be hard to catch them all but following a few well-used words and sentences can be a bit of a variety. E.g .: Wanna (want to), gonna (going to) hang out (spend time to get together) Imma (I am goin’ to) breezy (casual). 

These are just the beginners level native English the complex English can be much difficult for instance if someone is facing a challenge in basic English we would say she is having a lot of problems but in native English, it can be said- she’s having a hard time or she met with a lot of knotty problems and such.

So if you are thinking you are regular “whatsup” is an upscaled English then you have a long way to go. Since English is an important language it is important for one to learn it sooner than later.
