English Vocabulary: hmm, huh, ouch, wow, aww, uhh… (interjections)

Ahem! Can I have your attention, please? Have you ever thought about how you express your emotions? Do you use emojis? Emojis are little images of faces that express emotions in picture form. They are cute and useful for texting friends. But I’ve got news for you. You can’t use emojis when you are talking! So in this lesson, I will teach you how to use interjections to express your feelings and emotions in English. For example, we use “Wow!” when we want to express surprise, wonder, pleasure, or enthusiasm. We use “Oops!” to express that we’ve made a mistake. And we use “Eww!” to express dislike or disgust. Interjections are powerful because they allow you to express your mood in a single word. You will learn more than 20 common interjections that you can use every day to express yourself, like “huh”, “ouch”, “aww”, “meh”, “yahoo”, “phew”, and more. Some of these may be similar or different from interjections in your own native language. Be sure to test yourself by doing the quiz at after watching.
