Hi ChatterFox's. do you ever have trouble
saying no saying no can be difficult in
any language but especially in English
if English is not your first language in
this video you're going to learn three
different ways to say no to a date but
before we get started make sure you're
subscribe to our YouTube channel so that
you don't miss out on any of our
American English pronunciation videos
also be sure to watch to the end of the
video for a special opportunity to
practice your English let's imagine that
you're at a bar or out anywhere around
in your community and someone approaches
you and starts talking to you you kind
of may be friendly with them they're
nice to you and then they ask you on a
date but you do not want to go on a date
with this person what can you say you
don't want to say something mean you
want to be polite but at the same time
you don't want to go on a date with them
so one of the things that you can say in
this situation is I'm flattered but no
thanks
I'm flattered but no thanks flattered
has a flap T meaning that you make a
sound in the middle of the word instead
of 8 sound flattered I'm flattered but
no thanks when you say the word but
there's a stop T but no thanks but no
thanks
I'm flattered but no thanks I'm
flattered but no thanks were you able to
say that with the flap T and the stop T
great now let's learn another way that
you can say no in the same situation you
can also say no thanks I'm not
interested no thanks I'm not interested
when you say
not interested you'll hear a sound in
the middle not interested and since the
sound is a consonant sound it moves into
the next word to link the two words
together na interested not interested
not interested thanks but I'm not
interested thanks but I'm not interested
not interested great job
finally you can say thanks but I'm
already seeing someone thanks but I'm
already seeing someone what this means
is that you already have a partner so
you can't go on a date with them because
you already have a partner I'm already
seeing someone when you say the word
already you don't hear the sound you
just hear already already already seeing
someone when you say the word seeing the
G sound at the end turns into a mmm
seeing seeing so you don't hear a good
sound at the end you just hear mmm I'm
already seeing someone I'm already
seeing someone great job now that you
know these three different ways to say
no to a date in English I have a
question for you some people say I'm
already seeing someone when they're
actually not they just say this as a way
to say no to a date other people think
that this is wrong because it's slang
and I want to know what you think is it
okay to tell someone that you're already
seeing someone to reject them or should
you always tell the truth that you're
not interested let us know your opinion
