Show Notes
In this New Year episode of 5-Minute English Talk, we start the year by going back to the basics — how to greet someone in English and how to reply naturally.
You’ll learn simple, everyday greetings like:
• “Hi”
• “Hello”
• “Hey”
And common follow-up greetings such as:
• “How are you?”
• “How’s it going?”
• “How are you doing?”
Along with natural replies like:
• “I’m good, thanks.”
• “Doing well.”
• “Pretty good.”
• “All good.”
The episode also covers casual greetings used with friends and colleagues, including:
• “What’s up?”
• “How’s everything?”
• “How’s your day going?”
Plus, you’ll hear a real conversation example, repeat-after-me practice, and a simple speaking challenge to help you feel more confident using greetings in daily life.
We also share a Happy New Year message from the 5-Minute English Talk team and explain why starting with basic topics like greetings is especially helpful for new and intermediate learners.
