What Can I Say Instead of 'How are you?'
‘Hi! How are you?’ This is the most common and oftentimes boring way to greet someone.
What most of us don’t
understand is that any language is like a bed of colorful flowers. What makes
any language colorful is its vocabulary. Many of us are stuck with the same
kind of vocabulary that we have been hearing since childhood. We start to
believe that this is the only way to say certain things.
How wrong we are!
We miss out on the opportunity
to explore the beauty of language and feel a sense of enjoyment that we could
have experienced as we speak the language.
It will be fun and will help us
become more likable if we can work on our vocabulary and replace those boring
words with something that generates a positive emotion not only in the listener
but also inside us, the speaker.
