BOB THE CANADIAN
About this episode

In this English lesson I will help you learn 14 different responses to the English question, "How's it going?". In my part of the English speaking world this is a very common greeting. In fact, it's the one I use quite a bit to greet colleagues, cashiers, customers at market, friends, etc.

In this lesson I'll teach you 14 responses in three categories: normal responses, enthusiastic responses, unenthusiastic responses, sarcastic / funny responses, and personal responses.

After this video you'll be all ready to greet someone when you have your next English conversation!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOQZkKqtUXU or by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian How's It Going?"
