Learn English Podcast | Real Conversations | How to Use "Like" in Everyday English

Confused about how to use LIKE in English? Learn all the different ways native speakers use LIKE in real spoken English — so you can sound more natural, confident, and fluent in everyday conversations.

In this real conversation English podcast episode, Emma and Nico break down how native speakers really use LIKE — as a verb, for comparisons, in common expressions, and in casual spoken English — without memorizing complicated grammar rules.

🎯 How Native Speakers Really Use LIKE

This episode focuses on one of the most common and powerful words in English: LIKE.

Most English learners only know one meaning of LIKE. But native speakers use it in many different ways every single day.

Instead of textbook grammar, you'll learn how LIKE actually works in real conversations — through natural dialogue, clear explanations, storytelling, listening practice, and shadowing exercises.

You'll clearly understand:

• LIKE as a verb (I like coffee. I like swimming.)
• LIKE for comparisons (looks like, sounds like, feels like)
• LIKE with the five senses
• JUST LIKE
• NOTHING LIKE
• THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
• ACTS LIKE
• UNLIKE
• I FEEL LIKE
• IT'S LIKE
• SOMETHING LIKE THAT
• SEEMS LIKE
• The spoken "I was like..."
• Casual filler LIKE in everyday conversation

Move past unnatural textbook English like:

❌ "I like swim."
❌ "He like dogs."
❌ Confusing "I was like..." with comparisons.
❌ Only using LIKE to mean "enjoy."

and learn how native speakers naturally say:

✅ "I like travelling."
✅ "She likes cooking."
✅ "It looks like rain."
✅ "This tastes like chocolate."
✅ "I feel like going for a walk."
✅ "It's like riding a bike."
✅ "We could meet at seven, or something like that."
✅ "I was like... are you serious?"
✅ "She was like... I can't believe it."
✅ "There is nothing like a good night's sleep."
