🤔 HOW ABOUT YOU

Are you saying this phrase naturally?
A lot of English learners say it exactly as it’s written, but here’s how to make it sound more American.

How about you? In conversational American English, we usually say: how-bow-CHU?

We don’t usually say: How about you.

It’s how-bow-CHU?.

There are 3 syllables: how-bow-CHU?

The stress is on the third syllable: how-bow-CHU?

  • I’m ready. how-bow-CHU?
  • I like pizza. how-bow-CHU?
  • Jack has an Android. how-bow-CHU?
  • I’m enjoying this. how-bow-CHU?

Let’s practice together. I’ll ask you in blue. You reply in green.

  • I’m ready. how-bow-CHU?
  • I like pizza. how-bow-CHU?
  • Jack has an Android. how-bow-CHU?
  • I’m enjoying this. how-bow-CHU?

One more time:  how-bow-CHU?

Write your example with  how about you in the comments.

Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
