873 - Sunday Speak - You Bet

Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome to the very first Happy English Sunday Speak.Starting today, every Sunday I’ll be here with one quick phrase to make your English sound more natural. Today’s phrase is “You bet!”  “You bet” is a super casual, American-English phrase. You can use it in a few different ways:
👉 1. We use, “you bet” as a strong “yes”

“Are you coming to the party?” → “You bet!”“Do you like baseball?” → “You bet!”

👉 2. Next, we use, “you bet” as a casual way to mean “you’re welcome” when someone thanks you

“Thanks for helping me move that furniture.” → “You bet.”“Thanks a lot for covering my shift at work yesterday .” → “You bet.”

👉 3. And finally, we use, “you bet” to mean “of course” when you show enthusiasm or confidence

“Can you fix that computer?” → “You bet I can.”“I’m not sure about going to that party. Will it be good?” → “You bet it will!”

So remember, you bet is a super natural way to say “yes,” “you’re welcome,” and “of course” — but with a friendly, enthusiastic feeling.
