The expressions in this video are often used in various situations and I recommend using them with people you interact with on a daily basis! That can be with your friends, teachers, and co-workers.

**NOTE
Some of the phrases discussed in this channel are casual so please be mindful of how you use them when you find yourselves in formal situations. For example, in this video, we discussed that よ (yo), おっす (ossu), おいっす(oissu), ヤッホー (yaho-) are very casual so you better avoid using these phrase in formal situations.
