say in English to make people like you? Today you're going learn a
few phrases, questions, and vocabulary words that you can use in
any conversation to make people enjoy your company more.  
Phrases to make people like you: "How about you?": This is
better in the middle of a conversation. People want to talk about
themselves and share their opinion on a topic so give them a chance
to do it. This shows that you are interested in the person and
that's why they'll find you interesting. Use the person's
name: This shows that you care enough to remember the person's
name. Use their name to show that you care. Try to insert their
name at the beginning or the end of a conversation. Don't be afraid
to ask for their name again if you forget it. Do NOT use "sir" or
"ma'am" in the US: This is too formal in the Northeastern
United States or on the West Coast (Boston, NY, Portland,
Washington State). It can also make you sound submissive or like
you are putting yourself below the person. "You're welcome" instead
of "no problem": When you say "no problem" you are saying that
what you just did for that person was easy and it didn't mean
anything to you. "You're welcome" doesn't make a judgment about
what you have done for the person. It's simple and polite. "What
would you like me to do?": This allows the person to be direct
if they are trying to hint at something and it gives you a chance
to help someone.     Have you tried any of these phrases?

more likeable? Let us know in the comments section!
