What’s the catch? What are you getting at? Whaddayasay?

…what do these phrases mean?

Today we’re looking at some informal English phrases that start with ‘what.’ These aren’t simple questions like ‘what’s your name?’ — instead, they’re casual expressions you’ll hear native speakers use - and that you can’t always translate literally.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand what they mean and when to use them - so your English will sound more fluent and conversational!

👉 If you enjoyed this lesson and you want to keep learning the kinds of phrases native speakers really use in daily life, check out my Everyday English Speaking Courses. They’re full of practical lessons, dialogues, and practice activities that will help you feel confident in real conversations.
