Tiny Home Tour With Shannon
A2 English listening practice · American English · Curated for beginners
What does “stop by” mean in English?
When you “stop by” somewhere, you visit for a short time — usually without a long plan. At the end of the video, Shannon finishes her tiny home tour and says “Thanks for stopping by.” This is a warm, friendly way to thank someone for visiting. You can “stop by” a person’s home, a shop, an office, or even a social media channel. The phrase feels casual and welcoming, not formal.
“Stop by” is a phrasal verb used very often in everyday English. You can use it to talk about a real visit (“Can you stop by the pharmacy on your way home?”) or a virtual one, like visiting a website or social media page. For example: “Stop by our page for more videos.” The phrase is also common as an invitation: “You should stop by sometime!” This is friendlier and less direct than “Come visit me.” In the video, Shannon uses it as a gentle goodbye — a very natural way to end a home tour or vlog.
