The phrase "Let's + 〜ing" is unnatural!

 

This time, an employee from Kentucky, U.S.A., will tell you about an English expression that she wondered "What? In Japan, the phrase "Let's go" is used to express the same thing in English as "Let's go" in Japanese!

In Japan, you often see the English phrase "Let's + ~ing" (Let's shop, Let's dance) in advertisements and commercials.
Although these phrases make sense as they are, they are actually a bit unnatural.

So, what if you want to use a more natural English expression?

 

That's "just take the 'ing' off the back"!
Let's shop" or "Let's dance" sounds natural without any problem.
Of course, you can use it for any word, such as Eat, Drink, Play, etc!
