Hello, isn't this too cruel? The lamb should have a face and wheels, but all that’s left are the legs, arms, and torso. It’s scary. So, if I say I'm sorry, how do you think I should respond? You are all very kind and good people, right? Then, the most common phrase in Korea is It's fine, which many people learn. However, there is a phrase I have heard a lot in the United States, and that is No worries. It’s often used to mean don’t worry, so it conveys that everything is okay. The most important part is the expression good, which is used a lot. It’s a bit informal, but if someone bumps into you accidentally and says I'm sorry, you can respond with We're good. It means Are you okay? or You’re okay.

If you've learned expressions, then you should also learn the expression good. The word good has three meanings. The first meaning is that you can use it to say, Oh, I'm okay. For example, if someone is trying to give me snacks, but I'm too full and feel uncomfortable, I can say, I'm good, thanks, which is a very polite way to decline. 

The second meaning is used as a way to express that I'm doing well. So, if someone asks, How are you doing? I can respond with Good, I'm doing well, and that works perfectly. 

The last meaning is when you feel satisfied or agree with something. For instance, if someone says, So, do you want to go to the ATM? I can respond with Good, which shows that I agree. 

And just as a side note, there's something called a concept, but what is that called?

Do you know what it is? They call it an outlet. Most kids, well, it's like they can express something through it. I actually forgot my Korean. I was trying not to be looked down upon by Americans, so I only watched Netflix in English. To be honest, most American documentaries are about crime. Whether it's crime or the dirty side of show business, I keep watching those things. Oh right, an outlet. I knew that most kids used it as an outlet. But an outlet is like a power socket, right? Anyway, they call it an outlet. It's so far from what I thought; there's also something you can use in between, right? What do you call that? It's called an extension cord. So anyway, this is practical English. I always hear Americans speaking English like this.

I have been observing things diligently every day, so I hope for your expectations. Since I came to America and have been using English a lot, when I talk with Koreans, I tend to naturally mix in English words in the middle of my sentences. It's unnecessary, but for example, I say depressed a lot these days. I feel like I don't have an outlet for that, and I'm currently seeking one. I know that it might look a bit awkward, but honestly, I’m aware of that. However, sometimes Korean words come to mind faster in my English. So please don’t take that too negatively; I appreciate it. Besides this, I have prepared other things as well. I will also share a lot about how I studied English and how I worked hard on conversation, so I hope you look forward to that opportunity.
