💡 When to Use What

"Thank you" vs "Thanks"

Thank you = more polite/formal
Thanks = casual, with friends
Both are correct!

"Excuse me" vs "I'm sorry"

Excuse me = to get attention or pass by
I'm sorry = to apologize for a mistake

"You're welcome" alternatives

No problem = casual
Of course = happy to help
Sure = very casual

"Please" placement

Beginning: Please help me.
End: Help me, please.
Both are correct!

🇪🇸

Tip for Spanish Speakers: "Thank you" has the /θ/ sound (tongue between teeth) — the same tricky sound from "three." Practice saying "thank" with your tongue touching your upper teeth. It's different from the Spanish /t/ sound!
