Hi, I'm Gabby your American English teacher from gonaturalenglish.com
Lovely English Learner from South America and she was a little bit nervous about her English skills
And she said Gabby. I'm sorry. My English is not very good
I mean well and I thought you had it right the first time
Don't say my English is well, so many English learners do this
It's not the first time that I heard it and I wanted this sweet girl to speak correctly
Because really her English was pretty good
So today I thought we could talk about this if you take anything away from this English lesson
It is don't say my English is well
Don't say my English is very well
don't say my English is not well, if you're talking about your English skills, even if
Your English is at a beginner or intermediate
Level we want to talk about your English
Correctly, so when you tell people about your English skills, we should be able to
Describe your skills in a correct way

Pre-reg already as I mentioned a common mistake is saying my english is not
Well is never used to describe a noun like English well
Describes a verb. So for example, you could say I speak English
Well, but we cannot say that my English is well or not
Well, so if you're a beginner and you want to explain that you're not very confident about your English
Apologise ever for your English. You don't need to say I'm sorry about your English
It's really admirable that you are learning English and you should be proud of that
Apologise for that ever. So here are some suggestions about how to describe your English
First you could say my English is not very good yet
Now please say yes because that means that you will improve your English in the near future
My English is not very good yet. I'm still learning English
I'm still learning English. I'm a beginner in English. I'm a beginner in English
I don't speak English very well yet. I don't speak English very well yet
Now I'm repeating each of these sentences twice so that you can repeat them after me to improve
Your English pronunciation as we go now if you are an intermediate level English speaker
Here are some suggestions for you to talk about your English you
Can also say I'm still learning English my English is pretty good
My English is pretty good. Even though I have a little accent I can speak English just fine
Even though I have a little accent I can speak English just fine instead of just fine
You could also say well I can speak English
Well, my English is good enough for everyday situations. My English is good enough for everyday situations
I'm confident. I can communicate in most situations. I'm confident I can communicate in most situations
English is not a problem for me English is not a problem for me
Notice that I like to focus on the positive here, and I think you should too
Even if you're still working on your English, even if you still sometimes make mistakes
I think it's better to emphasize what you can do
Let's focus on what you are capable of and each day
We can improve a little by little together more and more
so these sentences are great to use if maybe you need to describe your English at a job interview or
even in social situations if someone is curious about
how much English you do already know now if you are an advanced or a
Fluent English speaker here are some sentences for you to describe your English speaking skills. I
Have advanced English skills I have advanced English skills. I'm fluent in English, or I'm nearly
Fluent in English, or I'm almost fluent in English
I'm almost fluent in English. I have near native
proficiency I have near native
proficiency, I'm bilingual in English
I'm bilingual in English and you could add your second language. I'm bilingual in
English and Spanish, for example, I'm confident speaking English with anyone in any situation
I'm confident speaking English with anyone in any situation
I can handle speaking English without any problems
I can handle speaking English without any problems
Now even if you are a beginner or an intermediate students, I suggest that you practice
Repeating these phrases for describing advanced English skills because it can help you to envision yourself as a more
Confident English speaker and I tell you what that does something for us
Psychologically that helps motivate us to improve our skills. So I hope that you enjoyed repeating these sentences
