902 - Saturday Short - How To Use Let Me Tell You Something In English

Hey there! It’s Michael here and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better.

Today, let’s look at a really common and powerful phrase: “Let me tell you something.” We use let me tell you something when we want to share our feelings, give an opinion, or emphasize what we’re about to say. It helps grab the listener’s attention and makes your speech sound more natural — and more emotional.

Let’s say your friend just ask you about a new restaurant in town. You could say:
 “Oh, let me tell you something - their pasta is incredible!”
Or maybe you saw a movie, and a friend says she heard it’s boring. You can say:
 “Let me tell you something, that movie is one of the best I’ve seen this year.”
We also use it when we feel strongly about something:  “Let me tell you something — learning English takes time, but it’s totally worth it.”

So remember, let me tell you something is a great way to add emotion, confidence, or strong opinion to what you say. It’s natural, it’s friendly, and it really makes your English sound alive.
And let me tell you something - if you keep practicing with these Saturday Shorts, your English is only going to get better and better!
