first lesson sign up for your free lifetime account at English class 101.com I love your cooking this is my personal favorite compliment oh my god I love cooking like I'm always posting like pictures of things that I cooked on Twitter I'm just like crazy about food so this would be a compliment that I would love to get like the ultimate compliment for me that would be will you make my birthday cake that would be such a compliment like it's a question but it's it there's so much behind that will you make my birthday cake you would give that to me so maybe after you can use this after a meal for example I love your cooking and the other person will be like next is great job great job this is a compliment that you can use anytime you can use it to your with your friend with your not with

way with words you have a way with words this can be speaking this can be writing it means you think that the other person is a good communicator or maybe even more so than just a good communicator you think that the way they speak or the way that they write is particularly good so that could mean funny it could mean romantic it could mean dramatic something about the way they speak or the way that they write you really enjoy that you can say you have a way with words it's quite a nice compliment I think it's kind of like a you know it's smart it's a bit of a smart thing you have a way with words or you can say you're good with words you're really good with words yeah all right next one you look gorgeous you look gorgeous very nice compliment to give just be very careful with the way that you say this for an everyday compliment I tend not to say you look nice or you look gorgeous today or something like that because the underlying comment there is on the other days that person doesn't look nice like so if I want to compliment someone's appearance I try to pick a specific thing I'm like oh I've never seen you wear that sweater before it looks nice on you something like that like yesterday my friend had a new dress on and like is that a new dress and because I thought she looked nice I was but I didn't I didn't want to make it sound like I don't think she looks nice day so I said is that a new dress and she goes yeah and I said I think that color is really really nice on you it looks really good and she was so happy about that so yes there there are these compliments like you look nice you look great you look gorgeous and so on but I personally kind of prefer to level them up a little bit and just say pick a specific thing like did you get a new haircut did you dye your hair or you did you get something did something happen like what whatever it is try to pick up on a specific thing because then that shows you're paying attention to the other person and you think that whatever they have chosen to do whatever like clothing or whatever haircut whatever it is you think that they have good sense there too or good style so it's kind of like a double it's a very subtle double compliment yeah the next word is you have good tastes you have good taste this can be for food fashion style for decorating sense music in movies whatever if you think that that person's artistic selection is in whatever capacity if you think that that person makes good choices with their their appearance or their hobbies or whatever you can say you have good taste this is a fairly sophisticated compliment I think we use you have good taste for something like it's it sounds a bit more sophisticated maybe if you both choose the same bottle of wine perhaps like it has kind of a more formal adult dish sophisticated feeling about it this compliment so yeah maybe maybe wine is a good example of that yeah oh nice bottle choice like I really like that you have good taste you can follow this by the way you have good taste in blah blah blah you have good taste in movies you have good taste in music if you want to be specific about something that you think that person is really good at choosing you have good taste in now okay okay um next one is you have a great sense of humor you have a great sense of humor this is the this is the underlying compliment in the phrase you are so funny this is the underlying compliment you have a great sense of humor means the other person thinks you are funny that you are good at telling jokes or make them laugh this is actually one of my favorite compliments to get you have a great sense of humor yeah because I think that like you know people like to laugh so it's an it's an if someone makes you laugh you can say this you have a great sense of humor or you're very funny yeah it's a good one it's a really good one so you could say after a joke for example or after maybe you've you're you finished laughing it's something the other person has said you can say ah you have a great sense of humor good next one is your resume is impressive this is a weird compliment to say to your friends unless you're like reviewing your friends resume it's a bit weird this is something that perhaps someone interviewing another person for a job would say the candidate comes in for the interview the interviewer says why your resume is very impressive I'd like to ask you a few questions about it so this is good to hear in a work situation yeah you really probably won't need to use this with your friends if you do it's kind of weird oh wow this next one is quite a compliment nobody's ever said this yeah to be fair if somebody said this next one to me I would feel a little bit of like pressure the compliment here is you make me want to be a better person this is something that I think you see in movies from time to time pers yeah I've had I had one person say like like oh that something you did inspired me and that was like really like wow that was really exciting like somebody was inspired by something like wow that's great I want to be like you that's a really cool compliment but if someone says you want to make me be a better person it's like oh wow like that means I'm really important to that person which is really flattering but at the same time if someone said that I would also be like if it's like my friend I would be like but I want you to be you like I think you're a cool person already yeah it's like oh you make me want to be a better person like in that person's viewpoint you're like somehow above them and that's uncomfortable yeah just I would rather say you inspire me I think that that or like this thing that you really inspired me like if somebody said like I saw that picture that she posted on Twitter of that pizza today Alicia and it really inspired me and I made my own pizza I'd be like yay Oh next one is nice actually I say this to my friends quite a bit you are an awesome friend this is really really good to use after your friend has helped you with something maybe you're moving to a new apartment or new house or maybe you've had some trouble and your friend gave you some good advice or your friend just listened to you when you really needed to talk to someone after that experience you could say thanks so much you were an awesome friend or maybe your friend did something really really cool and you just want to like tell them like I think you're really awesome just say you are an awesome friend they'll be happy to hear that or just you can abbreviate it - you are awesome not just you're an awesome friend just you are awesome you're a cool person you are awesome you're fantastic you are an awesome ring you're an awesome friend compliments that I want to hear quite honestly I feel that the any physical appearance compliment is sort of boring to me honestly when people yeah really I'm just like okay great that I didn't do anything to be have this body or face or whatever it's just it's like okay that doesn't mean anything like what are we gonna do with that it's like if you're one if you want to compliment somebody I feel like you should compliment them on their skills something that they have done or something that they have created or something about their personality that is valuable to you I think that that's a much better compliment so for me I like this is delicious because I love cooking so when somebody tells me this is so good like when they say it in just that right way and you can tell that it's real if you can tell that it's true I'm just like yes when people go oh my god this is so good like I've cooked something really really well they say oh my god amazing or I want to eat your food that sort of thing when people say that I'm just like yes like that makes me so so happy because it's something like that's one of my favorite things to do it's a skill and it's something like I've worked hard to try to do well so when someone compliments me on that I get really excited would you like to go out to dinner with me okay the first phrase is would you like to go out to dinner with me this is a pretty typical invitation I think you can use would you go out for lunch with me is okay - or would you like to get a coffee with me as well if you invite someone out for breakfast it's a little weird I feel like I don't think I would say to someone like I'm making a bomb would you like to go out for breakfast sometime it's just not really something you would say you know would you like to go out to dinner with me sure sounds great are you free this weekend are you free this weekend are you free free means are your is your schedule free do you have an open schedule this weekend very nice very casual as well so are you free this weekend yeah I've got some time what's up would you like to hang out with me the next phrase is would you like to hang out with me that sounds a little too formal to me if it were me I would just say do you want to hang out do you want to get together that's a little bit more natural so do you want to hang out this weekend yeah sure let's catch a movie you're so cute I'm gonna preface this by saying I don't say this okay the next phrase is you're so cute I never say this maybe I'm just cold it's typically said with downward intonation people say you're so cute you're so cute kind of going down like that you can also use this as a compliment people like parents will say this or grandparents will say those two children in the family so you're so cute thank you I suppose is what you say you look great ah next one is a much better compliment I think much more sincere it is you look great you look great maybe you're going out for dinner or something nice your partner looks really nice
