Hi, How's it going? Or can I use how're things? What're they different between them? I like it. It's good to know. Nice to meet you. And bye for now.

Hi Bsmart,
I don't think there are any major differences between those two expressions. They both mean the same thing and they are both quite informal. However, the second one is normally written as 'How are things?' in my experience.

Hi,
Yes, you can! If you want to put them on a web page and make money from it, you will need to contact us, but just using them in a lesson is fine. In fact, we encourage it!

Hello,
I heard the word "often" twice in this video, but in the first time they said it with "t"
and the second time was without "t"
so are they both correct??
Thanks
Feras

Hello Feras,
Well spotted and a good question! Both pronunciations are fine, although a few people think the version with the silent 'T' is more educated.
Best wishes,
