you in english and today
i’m going to teach you 20 of them i’m
teacher tiffany
let’s jump right in
[Music]
all right now the first thing we need to
do is break these down into five groups
group a ways to say thank you and focus
on the person
group b ways to say thank you quickly
and easily
group c ways to say thank you and focus
on
their kindness group d ways to say thank
you and focus on what you will do
and group e ways to say thank you and
focus on your appreciation
now if you understand these five
categories these five groups
you’ll be able to master the ways to say
thank you in english
so here we go let’s jump right in now
group
a ways to say thank you and focus on the
person
here we go number one you’re the best
real simple right but you’re focused on
that person
man you are the best
i’m saying thank you but i’m putting
more emphasis
on the person like man you i can’t
believe how amazing you are
you are the best this is the first way
of saying thank you and
focusing on the person so let’s say for
example someone
helps you out when you’re in a very
difficult situation
they come right when you call and save
you you can say
man you you
are the best this is number one
now let’s say you want to continue and
focus on that person
you can say you are the greatest
now for pronunciation after me you are
the greatest excellent last time
greatest good job now again we’re still
in the first category the first group
you’re focusing on the person saying
man you whoo
you are the greatest again i’m saying
thank you by putting more emphasis on
the person so
you are the greatest we also have this
one
you’re a life saver i remember back in
the day uh when i was about maybe
10 or 11 a candy that was very popular
was called
life saver it was really delicious but
this is talking about someone being so
special that they helped you in a
situation that could have went wrong
and had some bad consequences
consequences
so you can say to them instead of just
saying ah
thank you you are a life saver
without you i couldn’t have done that
man
you are a lifesaver again you’re saying
thank you but you’re putting more
emphasis on the person so again after me
you’re a life saver excellent all right
so we got that one down that’s number
three
now number four you have been
such a big help again
same meaning as thank you but it’s
stronger and it actually makes the
person feel
a lot more special so again you have
been
such a big help and with this one you’re
letting the person know that hey
without you i would not have been able
to accomplish this thing
your help really made the difference you
man have been such a big help again
we’re still in group a where we’re
focusing on
the person so last time with me again
i’ll show it to you on the screen
after me you have been such
a big help you got it all right good
let’s go on to the next one again we’re
still on group a
focusing on the person here’s another
way you can say thank you
thank you for always being
there again thank you
for always being there now this is
something that’s very important for you
to understand again as you’re learning
english
when you tell someone hey you’re always
there or you’re always here
it means that this person you feel like
you can depend
on them you can rely on them they are
very
dependable so whatever the situation was
they
came through for you they helped you out
and you want to say something more than
just
thank you you want to say you know what
thank you
for always being there for being that
person that i can depend on
that i can rely on this is a lot
stronger a
really good way of saying thank you and
focusing on the person so again here we
go
thank you for always being
there now let’s move on to group b
quick and easy sometimes you don’t have
a lot of time you just want to say hey
thank you but there are some quick and
easy ways to say thank you so here we go
let me show you
number six thanks
simple right i’m sure you’ve heard this
before but for pronunciation practice
here we go
thanks nice stick that tongue out
through your teeth
thanks excellent this is a very common
one i use this
almost every day via text messages right
to my friends to my family like oh
thanks it’s very quick
very easy but it still means thank you
we say
thanks all right good now another way of
saying it
quickly and easily is appreciate it
i also use this one a lot now appreciate
is just the shortened form of
appreciate it’s kind of slang letting
the person
person know you know what
thank you but quickly appreciate it
means that means i appreciate what you
did for me
thank you for that thank you for doing
that and very quickly
appreciate it so if someone says oh tiff
don’t worry about that
i took it back for you ah appreciate it
i’m saying
thank you so again for pronunciation
appreciate it
good now the longer form is i appreciate
it right
but again quick and easy appreciate it

another one that i want to show you

keep going guys here we go
all right now group c their kindness now
this is a really good one
where you’re focusing on the kindness
what the
individual did for you so this group is
really important here we go
if you want to say thank you and focus
on their kindness you can say
that’s so kind of you now i use this a
lot when students maybe like you
compliment me and say teacher thank you
so much for your lessons
i really appreciate those comments and
those compliments
and those words so i can say that’s so
kind of you
i’m focusing on your kindness i’m
focusing on the kindness of the student
or
students that said that to me right so
you can say
that’s so kind of you here we go
after me that’s so kind of you
excellent all right next one again
focusing on their kindness you can say
that was so nice of you again
another way of saying thank you you’re
focusing on their kindness
you can say that was so nice of you
i’m letting you know that i recognize
what you did
and that i really appreciate it and i’m
focused on the fact that
you are an amazing person like you’re
really kind so i can say
that was so nice of you for example if
i’m
walking outside and i have a lot of bags
like today i went to the store and i had
to buy a lot of things in the store
had a lot of bags in my hand so if
somebody walks up to me says hey
ma’am can i help you out with your bags
man
that’s so nice of you i’m saying thank
you without saying thank you
and i’m focusing on their kind act you
can do the same
that was so nice of you all right here
we go
group d now you’re going to focus on
what
you will do it’s very interesting you’re
still going to be saying
thank you but you’re focusing on what
you’re going to do in return
let me show you what i mean here we go i
owe you one
man this is so common like i owe you one
you did something for me and now i’m
indebted to you
what you did for me man it was amazing i
appreciated it
thank you so much and instead of saying
thank you i’m gonna say
i owe you one thank you so much i owe
you one it means
i’m gonna do something for you next in
return
i’m gonna do something for you we say i
owe you one it’s a really good way of
saying thank you
all right so again continue to focus on
what you will do you can say
man i owe you big time all right it
means that
they did something so amazing for you
something you’re like you know what
oh my goodness i owe you big time
either they gave you a lot of money or
maybe they
helped you out when you were in a
situation that was so difficult
you had no idea how you were going to
get out you could say
oh my gosh i owe you
big time i’m saying thank you but i’m
not using those two words so again
when you want to say thank you and focus
on what you’re going to do for the
person
you can say man i owe you big time
and you’ll sound very very natural now
another way you can do that is right
here
i got you next time i got you next time
now i use this a lot as well you know
okay i got you next time let me explain
and i’ll tell you a quick story when i
was in korea
i got you next time means hey you did it
for me this time and i appreciated it so
much
so much so that next time i got you
next time i’m gonna do the same thing
now here’s the story when i was in south
korea
um in korean culture so you normally
have communal eating right
everyone eats together you may order
four dishes but everyone shares from the
same dish right
so another thing about korean culture
that i learned and i really like
was that one person may pay this time
for everybody but then the next time
it rotates another person will pay for
everyone so for example
when i went out with my friend right we
went out to eat went to a mexican spot
whoo it was delicious annie if you’re
watching
the food was amazing so annie paid for
the mexican food but then after we left
the restaurant we went to a coffee shop
and had
like hot chocolate or a latte and some
dessert i paid for the dessert why
because
she paid for the food then i was gonna
pay
for the dessert i said okay hey i got
you don’t worry you paid for the meal
i got the dessert the same concept i got
you next time
so if someone does something for you you
really appreciate and you want to do the
same
instead of saying thank you can say hey
i got you next time it’s the same
meaning
all right here we go let’s keep going
let’s keep going now the next one is
also very
useful how can i ever repay you
again you’re letting the person know
that what they did
oh my goodness was so amazing you
appreciate it so much and this one is
saying
how can i ever repay you what you did
for me was so amazing
it was so big that i don’t even think i
can ever do the same for you
now you’ll try you’ll make an effort but
you want them to realize that
the magnitude of what they did for you
so instead of just saying oh thank you
i appreciate that thank you you want to
let them know hey
i want to do something for you how can i
ever repay you
and i’ve had that happen to me before so
many of my friends have done things for
me that
blew my mind and even to this day i’m
still
trying to repay them because i was so
touched by their actions remember
uh several months ago i told you all the
story of my korean friend
that helped me with my thesis she spent
literally almost
10 or 12 hours straight correcting
editing and helping me rewrite my thesis
i can never repay her for that no matter
what i do even though i’ve tried
i try to give her money i try to take
her out she’s like tiff it’s okay
i still feel indebted to her and i’m
still so grateful for her
again i could have said hey how can i
ever repay you
right i’m saying thank you but
emphasizing that i want to do something
so you can say the same thing
a very very useful way of saying thank
you now this is another way of focusing
on what you will do
i am forever in your debt
exactly you notice right just like i
told you the story of my friend that
helped me with my thesis when i was in
korea
i can say to her i could have said it
then and i still say it now
i am forever in your debt i am so
grateful
i am so thankful for what you did i am
forever in your debt
so again you’re seeing now that there
are many different ways to say thank you
and once you understand the groups
you’ll be able to change the way you
respond
when someone does something for you so
again i could say
i am forever in your debt you got it
right
all right now there’s one more group i
want to explain to you here we go
group e your appreciation so for example
i cannot thank you enough now i’m
focusing on hey
this is how i feel about what you did
for me
i am so appreciative i really really am
thankful for what you did and i want to
put all that into words so i say
i cannot thank you enough
it means that words cannot express
how thankful i am for what you did so
again
in this group when you’re focusing on
your appreciation you can say
i cannot thank you enough now next one
right here
i don’t know what to say thank you so
much
now you notice there are the there’s a
pause right there right
when someone has done something so
amazing for you
for you you appreciate them and you just
can’t put it into words you can say
i don’t know what to say thank you so
much you see what happened right there
right i paused
because i want them to understand how
much i appreciate them and this is what
you need to do when you want to thank
someone
and what they have done from for you is
so amazing you want to express your
appreciation
do this again i’ll show it to you i
don’t know what to say thank you so much
and as a native english speaker i will
understand that
someone else will understand that ah
they really really really appreciated
what i did
they’re thanking me by saying this so
again this is really really useful
now another one is right here words
cannot express
how much i appreciate you again
still saying thank you but it’s deeper
you want to express your appreciation a
little bit more so again you can say
words cannot express how
much i appreciate you nothing i can say
would help you understand
how much you’ve touched my life again
there are many people in my life
that i can say this about instead of me
just saying thank you i can say yo
words cannot express how much i
appreciate you alright
now another way of doing this is right
here thank you
from the bottom of my heart and i
actually think i’ve used this
one in speaking about you all i think a
few months back
it was during thanksgiving when i did
the video saying thank you
i feel like i said this one thank you
from the bottom of my heart
this is when you want to say my entire
heart is full of thankfulness
all because of you because of how you’ve
made me feel i can say
thank you from the bottom of my heart it
means with my whole heart
everything about me wants to say thank
you so when there’s someone that you
want to
say thank you to someone who has touched
your life so much
you can say thank you from the bottom of
my heart
you got it all right now here’s another
really really good one
you’ve made my heart smile
now i like this one you all know i love
smiling
this one right here when someone does
something for you and you’re like
man they just make you feel better right
you can say
you made my heart smile and again you’re
just saying thank you
but you’re letting them know a little
bit more about how you actually feel
so again you can say you’ve made my
heart smile again to show your
appreciation
now that was number 20. i told you all
five groups

thanks a million four dot dot dot all
right guys again
thank you so much for giving me the
opportunity to be your teacher i will
see you next
week have a wonderful week but as always
remember to speak
english
[Music]
you know what time it is it’s story
time ay i said a story
time all right so since i taught you all
20 different ways to say thank you i
want to tell you
about two individuals that i love
so much i’m talking about my parents
now i have been blessed with many many
people in my life
who i’m very very appreciative of at
everything they’ve done for me
but i want to tell you something about
my parents something that makes me
appreciate them each and every day so my
parents have always been
hard workers but i want to tell you
about when i was
in high school now my sister and i and i
may have mentioned this before my sister
and i went to private schools
our entire life literally i mean from
the time we were young
like five or six we always went to
private schools so we never were in
public schools
which means my parents had to pay a lot
of money every single month
now let me clarify my parents were never
rich
my parents were regular people still are
regular people i think you all would
love them they’re very fun people
but they’ve always been hard workers but
some things that i can never
ever forget growing up i remember when i
was in high school
our high school was very expensive again
so i’m seventh day adventist and it was
a christian high school so
it was more expensive than other schools
and i remember
every single term we’d have to go to the
financial aid
office because again my parents both of
them worked hard
long hours trying to provide for my
sister and i
they believed that a christian education
a private school education
was the best for their daughters so they
would
always work hard but i remember every
single semester
we’d have to go to the financial aid
line because my parents
wouldn’t have enough money to get us
into school that first semester of that
first term when school first started
i remember standing in line but i was
never
embarrassed ever and do you know why
because i
watched my parents work hard i watched
them work
long hours all because of the love they
had
for my sister and i i watched them try
to uh
save money just so my sister and i would
have a good life even though they were
missing out on things
and those qualities those principles
were instilled into my sister and i
so we my sister and i we still to this
day understand the value of education
and we understand the value of hard work
so i remember
watching my parents work hard just so
that i could have a good life
just so that my sister could have a good
luck good life so when i got to college
i decided i’m gonna pay my way through
school and i worked just as hard
got scholarships worked three jobs
because i wanted to give my parents
a break now i don’t have any children
just yet
but i want to do the same thing later on
in life when i have children
why because i’m so thankful
for my parents i’m so
in love with the values they instilled
in us
so i can say to my parents thank you
from the bottom of my heart
why because my entire heart is full of
love for them
remembering all the times they worked
hard just so that my sister and i could
have a good life
now they’re having a good life now my
parents worked hard
my dad my dad worked hard my mom retired
my mom’s retired now my dad is about to
retire
so they’re doing okay but again all of
the images in my mind from when i was
growing up
of my parents working hard made me love
them more
and again i thank them from the bottom
of my heart
so maybe somebody in your life right now
that you want to thank
from the bottom of your heart let them
know how much you love them and
appreciate them
i try to let my parents know that on a
regular basis too
alright guys i hope you enjoyed this
lesson i hope you learned a lot
remember to participate in the challenge
and i will see you
next week talk to you later
