Lovely video. Just a small tip for newcomers: "May" is talking more about probability while "might" is strictly related to possibility (depending on the context can be used to talk about probability). [It is a common knowledge between linguists and grammarians, but let us not be prescriptives and assume that both are used in both senses - probability and possibility -]

Try using perhaps instead of maybe. It sounds a little more British.

As a Psychology major in Ohio, even though English is a second language for me, I learned subtleties such as how to use "ought to" instead of "should." A college education in an English-speaking nation is indeed great to learn these things.

Native.

Other sarcastic responses to "Do you speak English?":
Just about
Sort of
I guess
That depends
I try
Sometimes
On occasion
On weekends
Never

Although being sarcastic is risky, and you won't be able to pull it off if you have even a slight accent

Non sarcastic:
Sure, what's wrong?
Yeah, why do you ask?

[soberhippie]

Instead of saying "I'm very angry" say "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed"
