Synopsis

Have you ever noticed how people use the word actually in conversation? It’s one of those small words that shows up all the time, but it doesn’t always mean the same thing. Sometimes it’s used to correct someone. Sometimes it adds new information. And sometimes it helps soften disagreement so you don’t sound too direct. For example, someone might say, “Actually, I already did that.” Or, “Actually, there’s another option.” Or even, “Actually, I think we should wait.”So in today’s podcast English lesson, we’re going to look at several very practical ways that you can use actually in everyday English.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads
