Read along to practice your English and to learn the phrases "to make do" and "to make a living"

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to make do. Sorry, I forgot to put the to here. When you make do, it means you do the best you can with what you have. This shirt doesn't have a pocket and I like to put my microphone on the pocket. So I just had to make do and I stuck the microphone up here on the brim of my hat. Sometimes in the morning, if you are a coffee drinker, maybe you like cream in your coffee and all you have is milk. So you might have to make do and put a little bit of sugar and a little bit of milk in your coffee instead of putting in some yummy cream. So when you make do, it means you do the best with what you have.

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase to make a living. I forgot the to here as well. I'm getting a little sloppy, aren't I? When you make a good living or when you make a living, it means you earn enough money to live to pay your bills. When I go to work every day, I do that because I need to make a living. I need to earn money so that I can pay my mortgage and pay my for gas and groceries and all of those other things.

So to review, when you need to make do, you do the best you can with what you have. Maybe you can't afford to take an English class. So you make do by watching a lot of YouTube videos which are free, by the way, which is awesome. I love it that YouTube videos are free. And when you make a living, it means you have a job, you get a paycheck, you get paid for doing that job, and you can use that money to pay for all the things around you.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from Will. So in the last video, Will is referring to this. At 1 minute, 13 seconds, a cute squirrel is crossing the street against the backdrop and my response, look at him go. So if you go to the last video at that point in the video, you will see that. Thanks Will for that comment. So uh, yes, squirrel. Sometimes squirrels are in the video because they want to help you pronounce squirrel.

Um, I wanted to show you the dogs right now. Jen has left for market. I will be leaving for market shortly. I have to wait for, uh, one of my kids to get home with the other van. But this is what the dogs do when Jen goes to market, they are sad. They simply sit by the house and they wait for her to come home. They will go with me to do certain chores. If I have to go feed the chickens or something before I leave or do something out in the field, they will come with me. But as I've mentioned before, they are very much Jen's dogs.

In fact, someone asked, I think Lolly Lolly asked in a live stream a couple weeks ago, where are the dogs? And I responded by saying, well, if you watch Jen's YouTube channel, I'll put a link up here. Most of you know about it. You'll see the dogs a lot. You'll see that they do indeed stick with her all the time. I'm like, oh, here's a good use of make do. When Jen's not here, they, they make do by hanging out with me. I'm not the alpha dog. I'm like, second in command, I guess, of in the dog kingdom.

So anyways, it's a Thursday. It is Thursday afternoon. I'm done work for the day and I'm home. I just helped Jen load the van. Now I have to wait for my kids to finish their school day. And then when they come home, I will take some more flowers in the second van and go to market and join Jen there. It's not ideal, but we have to make do. We don't want to buy a third vehicle because we don't really need three. You know, two works at this time of

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms HOT COMMODITY and ON A HOT STREAK

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English term hot commodity. When we say something is a hot commodity, it means everybody wants it. If you have a favorite team and they make the playoffs, tickets are a hot commodity. Everybody wants a ticket to see the playoff games. So that's one example. The reason I thought of this was because at our school, there are a lot of flies right now, like flies buzzing around. And so fly swatters are a hot commodity. Someone used this term this morning. They were like, where's the fly swatter for your classroom? And I said, I don't know. And they said, wow, they're a hot commodity right now. Everyone wants a flyswatter for their classroom.

So the second phrase I wanted to teach you is on a hot streak. So when you are on a hot streak, it means you are having success at something. If your favorite player scores a goal in every game, they are on a hot streak. If you let me see here, if you are taking an English test every day on your app and you're getting ten out of ten, you are on a hot streak. So a hot streak is a prolonged series of successful results on something. Sorry, those are some big words there.

Anyways, to review. A hot commodity is something that is in demand, something that everybody wants, something that everyone wants to have, like tickets for a really good sports game. And if you are on a hot streak, you are just having one success after another. Sometimes my favorite player on the Toronto Blue Jays will be on a hot streak and they will hit in every game and get on base.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Yasin. It's always good to be capable of doing some tweaking around the house. Sometimes it just breaks the bank to call someone in to fix something for you. I think I'm a jack of all trades, but I don't have a way with electronics though. And my response it certainly is cheaper to fix things yourself. I'm the same way for certain things, but plumbing is something where I always call someone. I don't want to accidentally flood the house.

So thanks Yasin for that comment. But yes, that is the one thing. I will do some electrical work, but then I usually have a friend come and check it. But plumbing, I'm always worried I'm going to do some plumbing and then wake up the next morning and a room in the house will be flooded. Maybe however I hooked it up will leak, but not good.

Anyways, two things that I wanted to show you. Number one, there are leaves on the ground. It's September 17 today. It's the Tuesday before you're seeing this video, and there are already leaves on the ground. And I wanted to show you this building. I showed this to my members in a video on the other channel in some detail. But if you look down here, you'll see that they are starting to tear down this building. Actually, earlier, both of those machines were going. But you can see this old mill. It's an old feed mill. They're starting to tear it down. I think they're going to build apartment buildings here. I'm not 100% sure what's going to be built, but I think by the end of the week, I think this building will be gone, which is kind of sad.

This building has been here my whole life. I remember seeing this as a kid. When I would visit my grandparents in this town. I would see this mill. A friend of mine actually worked there. He worked the night shift. He worked from, like, six at night till six in the morning, four nights a week. And he liked it. It was really go

I think that learning English will become much better in the future, and I think that future is soon.

I think AI and Mixed Reality will soon help to create better virtual tutors, and cool virtual learning environments.

The future looks bright for English learning!

TRANSCRIPT:
(Full transcript right here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qnySjEwROOMUWfX7No7AT5HC8Us4kkm5?usp=sharing )

Well, hello everyone, and welcome to this English lesson, which isn't really an English lesson. It's more just Bob's thoughts on what the future of learning English will look like. I think there's a couple of things that are going to change what it's like to learn a language in the future, and I just want to talk about each of them for a bit, so hopefully you find this video interesting.

The first thing I want to talk about is AI I and you might think, Bob, you're late to the party. AI was a big thing a year ago. We've been using AI already to learn English and I think you're probably right. I'm a little late to the party, but I don't think AI is where it's at yet in terms of a tool. I think it's very useful. I think it's awesome. But I think what the future holds is something even cooler. Eventually I think you will have a personalized English language AI tutor. I think it's probably about six months to a year away. Someone will invent it, or maybe it exists already and you can tell me in the comments below.

But I think eventually you will have a tutor that you talk to every day, that you write to every day and writes back to you that you can have conversations with. Like you can actually talk and hear the AI tutor and it will study and correct your English speaking. I think the AI tutor will simulate different conversations with you. It will simulate being at a restaurant, it will simulate buying gas at a gas station. It will do all kinds of really cool things like that to help you practice your English conversation. And hopefully it's really, really cheap. I hope it doesn't cost a lot of money. So I think that's where AI is really going to shine. Once we have an AI that is tailored to you, an AI that knows what you know and what you don't know, and then is able to help you get better at speaking English. And so I think that'll be really cool. It'll be cool when an AI tells you, hey, you made that mistake yesterday, let's practice it a bit more in a really friendly tone in a way that doesn't make you feel bad for making that mistake.

So I think that's somewhere in the future. I think right now AI is really cool for generating stories, helping you learn vocabulary, having little written conversations. But I think the future is going to be cooler when it actually remembers who you are and helps you every step along the way, making the conversation just a little more challenging. Can you imagine an AI that helps you learn three or four new words every time you talk to it and intentionally uses them in the conversation and teaches you the meaning. That would be very cool.

The second way I think the future of English learning is going to change is with VR, virtual reality, or augmented reality, or mixed reality. There are a lot of names for it. But when I see the videos with the Apple Vision Pro headset, and when I see what can be done with it, I think we're looking into a future soon where you'll be able to see things around you that aren't in reality, and then the headset can help you learn those things. I can imagine, along with an AI simulating actually going into a restaurant and ordering your food and having your food brought to you, all virtually of course. And then maybe they bring you the wrong food, and then you can ask the server for the right food.

So I think v

In this English lesson I'll share my personal opinion on what type of studying you should be doing in the morning, during the day and at night.

In the morning you are fresh, so it's a great time of day to do some of the harder English studying. Midday is usually busy, and you might only have ten minutes on your lunch break to learn some English with your phone. In the evening, you might be a bit tired, so it's a great time for listening to some music or a podcast.

Studying English at different times of the day can be more productive if you do the right kind of studying. Let me know in the comments if you agree with my thoughts on this!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson. Have a great day!

Well, hello and welcome to this video. It's not an English lesson this week, sorry about that. If you were hoping to have this really well-made English lesson, this is not it, this is just an update on Bob's life. It's a good update, by the way, nothing serious. But by the way, if you do want it to be somewhat of an English lesson, you could read the transcript in the description below before you watch this, you could hit pause right now, read that, and then watch it, that's a good activity when you're learning English.

But no, this is just an update on my life, it's an exciting update, because the school year is almost done, this is always an exciting time for me. You'll be watching this on a Tuesday, so that's in a couple of days, so on Tuesday next week, I'll be giving my final exam to my students, and then I'll be grading it, and then that's pretty much it for me for the school year. I'll have the rest of the summer, most of July or all of July and all of August to do what I want.

So what will I be doing? Well, I'll be making videos for all of you. Even though the school year is over, I do not stop teaching, I always keep teaching on YouTube, it's something I really enjoy, I'll keep doing the livestreams. In terms of video lessons though, I'll be a little bit more creative, because I'll have a bit more time to put each lesson together. I know you like the lessons where I talk about 10 phrases or teach you six different ways to say something, but I plan this summer to get out and about a little bit more, to get out and make videos not just on my farm, I will make videos here for you, but also to go out and make some videos in actual situations, in places where I need to speak English. So hopefully, you can set aside some time in the future to watch those.

So I'm excited, I'm excited to have the school year done. I should say though, I do really like teaching, but when the school year ends, I do have a lot of happiness, maybe an inappropriate amount of happiness. So I do love my job, but I do love it when the school year comes to an end. And then of course, I will be spending a lot of time this summer on the farm, helping Jen with the flowers, as most of you know, we grow flowers on our farm. I just like being outside, I think I have the heart of a farmer. When I was growing up, my parents encouraged me to get a university education, they encouraged me not to become a farmer, but inevitably, I ended up becoming a farmer in a small way anyway, so I will definitely be helping Jen here on the flower farm.

Probably, one of my favorite things to do on the flower farm is anything involving my tractor, and then selling flowers at our farmer's market. I'm sure in your local town you have a farmer's market, you should go and support your farmers there if you can. I'm not sure what that noise is, I don't know if the cicadas are already here or it might just be a bird. Oh, I think it flew away. Anyways, I will be helping Jen on the farm, spending lots of time outdoors, just making sure that everything's growing well. It's raining right now, so I don't have to worry about irrigating and doing all of that crazy stuff, but I will certainly help Jen in any way I can. But yeah, driving a tractor, anytime you need someone to drive a tractor, call me. And definitely helping Jen sell the flowers at market.

One of the reasons I enjoy selling flowers at market is because there's lots of really good snacks there, samosas, empanadas, a whole lot of food from different places in the world, so things that you would be familiar with, I can buy at our farmer's market, so that's really, really fun. Not good for my waistband, I get a little... Well, I don't put on weight in the summer, 'cause I work it all off doing physical labor, but it certainly is enjoyable to be there and sell things.

And then lastly, I'm just

Welcome to this English lesson about the verb “to do”. The verb “to do” is a bit strange. It sometimes is useful in a sentence, but sometimes it’s hard to understand why it is used. In this English class I’ll help you learn how to conjugate the verb “to do” in the most common two tenses, and how and when to use it.

The verb “to do” in the present is often used to emphasize something, like, “I do like pizza.” instead of “I like pizza.” It’s also used to correct a misperception. If someone said, “I didn’t think you liked pizza!” You could respond and say, “No, I do like pizza!”

In this English lesson I’ll try to explain some of the most common uses of “to do” including: the present to emphasize, the past, the negative, and when forming questions.

I hope this English class about the verb “to do” is helpful, and that with some practice you can master its usage! Have a great day!

You've probably learned by now that spoken English is a bit different than written English. As you learn English, you learn how to write it properly, and how to speak it slowly. Native English speakers tend to compress their sentences though when they speak at a normal rate. Sometimes a whole sentence sounds like one long word!

In this English lesson I'll go over the common, proper structure for forming questions, and then I'll let you know how I would actually say these in a regular English conversation. I'll be sure to give you the format for questions starting with: Where, What, How, Why, and When. Even though these questions will be about a trip, they can be adapted for any situation.

So take the time to enjoy this free English class. Watch it a few times and try to shadow me (repeat after me) when I ask the questions and give the responses so that you can train yourself to sound a bit more natural when having an English conversation.

Sometimes you need to tell someone what to do. We do this in English by using a command or an order. A command or order is a verb in the imperative form.

Well I guess it was going to happen sooner or later. I got COVID towards the end of the Christmas holidays. One of my kids came down with it just before Christmas so we've been home now for 3 weeks as each person in the house got it and tested positive over time.

We tried to isolate from each other, but that didn't work out very well. There are just too many of us at home! Most of us had milder symptoms, although it did take Jen and I a few days longer than our kids to feel better. The power of youth! Their immune systems are so powerful! Thankfully Jen and I are both vaccinated and I'm sure that help a lot.

In this video I'll tell you all about it, and most importantly, I'll tell you how much better I'm feeling now!

I plan to return to making English lessons this week. Look for a live lesson on Friday, and a brand new English lesson next week Tuesday!

When you are learning English, the letters, S/SH, H, R, TH, and W can make some strange sounds. It's a good idea to practice the sounds that these letters make with tongue twisters. Tongue twisters are phrases that are very hard to say clearly and quickly, even for native English speakers, and they will definitely improve your pronunciation.

In this English lesson I will help you learn 5 completely new tongue twisters that I wrote. They are designed to help you practice pronouncing the S, SH, TH, R, and W sounds in English.

Some of these are very hard for some English learners. Some of these phrases might be easy for you. Some of these were even hard for me! I hope you can find some time each day this week to practice these tongue twisters and help develop the ability to pronounce these sounds correctly when speaking English.

I hope you enjoyed this English lesson where you were able to learn a few more tongue twisters. Remember to come back each day this week and use this English lesson to practice your tongue twisters!

Have a great day!

Every week I look forward to doing a live English lesson outside. This week though the weather is a little iffy. Iffy means that the weather at this time of year is unpredictable. That means I won't know until just before the lesson whether it is nice enough outside to do the lesson under my tree or if I'll need to be inside.

Either way, there is going to be an English lesson! This is a great time to submit a question about the English language and I will do my best to answer it. As a native English speaker I always enjoy the questions that everyone asks during these sessions. It helps me remember that English is very intricate. It is a complicated and beautiful language. Some parts of it are easy to learn and some parts are a mystery!

Often even I'm surprised at how complex the English language can be, and I imagine for an English student this comes as no surprise. I promise to do my best to answer your questions in a clear and concise way to help you continue to make progress as you learn English.

You can ask any type of question you want, but my favourite questions revolve around pronunciation, meaning of words and phrases, usage, and even grammar. I must stipulate however that if the grammar question is too complicated I usually just give a quick answer. Sometimes grammar questions aren't easy to answer in a short period of time.

As much as learning English from songs, books, movies, TV, and Youtube is awesome, you'll sometimes still find it nice to talk to an English speaker to help clarify certain things.

As an English learner you're probably looking for proven techniques that work when learning English. In this English lesson I'll go over 7 tried and true techniques that are guaranteed to work if you are learning English, but I certainly don't guarantee that you'll enjoy them. Some are boring.

What they all have in common though is that they've stood the test of time. In this English class I'll talk about: repetition, flashcards, drawing, taking notes, and more!

Each technique, though old, will come with my personal recommendations on how to use the technique well when learning English. In my time as a high school teacher I've seen students use all of these techniques in ways that work well, and also in ways that fail.

Learning how to encourage someone in English is a good thing to do. Anytime you can be a positive person when learning English or in life in general it will make people treat you with kindness in return. In this English lesson I will do two things. I will give you some encouragement and I will teach you how to give others encouragement in English at the same time.

One of my favourite songs begins with this lyric, "Begin the day with a friendly voice..." I leave that as a hint, and you can figure out what song it is. It's an oldie, but a goodie. I think that phrase is very wise. A friendly voice, a word of encouragement, a smile instead of a frown can be a great way to start your day.

So I hope you enjoy this English lesson about encouragement. I hope you feel encouraged, and I hope you were able to learn a little bit of English along the way!

I made this video because I like talking about English language learning and I have ideas about what works best when you are learning English. Mostly I believe that you get good at what you practice when you are learning English.

In all truth though, I think Christian from Canguro English does a better job of explaining it so go and watch his video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhlAG...

I think his English lesson will help you understand a bit more about the journey of language learning. Have a great day!

There are many types of weather, but it's windy here right now, so I thought this would be a great time to tell you about it.

In this English lesson I'll talk about word pairs that can be confusing. As you learn English it is easy to get confused between certain pairs of words like desert and dessert, or aisle and isle.

In this free English class I'll help you learn the difference between some confusing word pairs in English, and how to distinguish between when it comes to their pronunciation, meaning, and usage.

I'll go over word pairs that have very similar pronunciations. I'll go over word pairs that have specific rules for usage, and I'll go over word pairs that are easy to define, but their usage can be a bit strange.

In this English lesson (with word-for-word English subtitles) I'll talk a little bit about Canadian English, a close cousin of American English and some of the things that make it unique.

Many of you have asked for an English lesson on how to use the verb TO GET in different sentences. I've been trying to write a script for an English lesson for a while now on this topic, and finally finished it and was able to record it today. I wanted to do it in one sitting (one take), but it ended up being two. It was hard to remember all the sentences I wanted to use!

As an English learner you've probably heard the verb TO GET a lot! In this English lesson you'll hear 99 examples of how to use this word in English. I'll admit some of the examples are repeats, but hey, repetition is a great way to learn an English concept!

So here it is. 7 straight minutes of me talking and using the verb TO GET 99 times! All of the sentences used are correct informal English and are very common in everyday speech. I hope you enjoy this English lesson on the word GET. I do speak rather quickly, so you might need to turn on the word-for-word English subtitles or use the transcript.

In this English lesson I'll talk about whether or not it is important to learn to swear in English. English people do swear. I sometimes swear, but it is rare. In this English lesson I'll talk about when people swear, how often they swear, when they DON'T swear, and how important learning swear words are when you are learning English.

Basically, swearing is part of any language, and knowing when swearing is used, why it is used, and how it is used is a very important thing to know even if you don't plan on ever swearing yourself.

The last thing you want when speaking English is to use a swear word at the wrong time, when it is inappropriate, or in a way that doesn't make sense or offends people.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about swearing!

So you're learning English and you've discovered that learning phrasal verbs is a bit difficult. You might be wondering if you really need to learn them. Do native English speakers really use phrasal verbs in everyday speech? How could they? There are so many of them!

In this English lesson I'll examine a current song, a tv show, a Youtube video, and a news article and let you know if I find any phrasal verbs. I've also tried to keep track of how many times I've used phrasal verbs in English conversations over the last couple of days.

I won't give you the answer here as to whether you should learn phrasal verbs or not. I won't tell you if you should spend a lot or a little bit of time on it or no time at all. You'll just have to watch the video to find out what I discovered!

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that you will learn a few phrasal verbs if you watch the lesson as well. It's more than just me talking about them. I give a few definitions along the way as well!

You can ask questions about pronunciation, meaning, usage, and even grammar (although if the grammar question is complex I usually only have time to give a quick answer).

It's great to learn English from books, the movies, TV, and Youtube, but sometimes it's nice to just ask an English teacher a question so you understand the nuances of the English language.

During the lesson you can ask me any type of question about the English language and I'll try to answer it. Please be aware though that some English grammar questions are a bit too complex to answer quickly so I might skip them and point you towards a good video on the subject instead.

Welcome to this English grammar lesson about the present perfect tense. This is a very common English verb tense, and it can be a bit tricky for people who are learning English. It is one of the more advanced English verb tenses. It is helpful to know it when you want to talk about actions where time is not important, time is not specified, or the action is not finished.

Once you master the conjugation and usage, you'll be able to use it in sentences like, "I have studied English since I was a kid!" You'll notice in this sentence we're talking about something that has no clear start or end. The time is not important so we use the present perfect tense.

I'll start by helping you learn how to conjugate in the present perfect for written and spoken English. This verb conjugation is made up of the subject, the verb "to have" conjugated, and then the past participle of the verb. I'll also make sure I help you learn how to use it in the negative, and how to form questions with the present perfect.

I hope you enjoy this English grammar lesson about the present perfect tense! I hope you're having a great day!

As you learn English you'll have your ups and downs. Sometimes you'll be excited about learning the English language and other times you'll feel like quitting. In fact, some of you may have quit in the past and started again, and some of you may have even quit a while ago and not had the time or energy to start learning English again.

In this English lesson I'll go over a few things you can do to regain the energy you once had for studying English. I'll talk about how to reflect on the things that drew you to learning the language in the first place, be it English songs, TV, or movies.

I've noticed that English learners sometimes get their adjectives mixed up. I actually make the same mistake when I'm speaking French! In this English lesson I'll look at adjectives that end in -ED and -ING and how they can have very different meanings when you use them to talk about yourself.

If you've ever said, "I'm amazing!", instead of, "I'm amazed!" you might smile a bit during this lesson when you realize what you actually said. One means you think you're cool, the other means you are looking at something that amazes you.

Learning English takes time, and sometimes along the way it's important to review and improve your use of adjectives. I hope this English adjective lesson brings a smile to your face and also helps you in your next English conversation!

I think it's very cool that you are learning English and I hope you have a great day!

This English lesson will be a little bit different. I thought I would just take a moment and explain to all my English learners the different types of lessons that I make.

Some of you are new here. Some of you have been around for a while. Regardless of how long you've been here you may not all be aware of the different free English classes and lessons I offer.

I make short English lessons every Tuesday. These are very concise and practical lessons that sometimes can also be entertaining and funny. In these videos I teach phrasal verbs, grammar, phrases, and sometimes I'll take you somewhere and teach you English on the spot, like at a gas station or at a restaurant.

I do a live English class every Friday at 7:30AM Eastern Standard Time. This class is on a specific topic, and is a great place to learn new English vocabulary and phrases. You can also ask me a question during the lesson. Please note a shorter version of this English learning video also comes out two days later for review.

I do a live Question and Answer lesson on Saturdays at 11:00AM Eastern Standard Time. During this class you can ask me a question about the English language and I'll do my best to give you an answer.

I also have a second Youtube channel where I create more advanced lessons every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This lesson is great for English learners who are interested in learning phrases, phrasal verbs, slang and hearing regular everyday English. You can find that channel right here.

When you learn English it can be a bit boring. Learning to think in English can be hard. Games can make it more fun, and help you be more productive with your time! In this English lesson I'll teach you how to play 5 words games in your mind to help you practice your English while you are riding the train, when you're somewhere busy, or while driving in a car! This is super convenient learning, and these games can be played all by yourself!

These games are designed to help you start thinking in English. Thinking in English is accomplished by forcing yourself throughout the day to routinely think and say things about your surroundings. These games will help you do that. You'll learn games that use the alphabet, games that use opposites, games that use descriptions and more.

Each game will help you practice a different aspect of the English language. Some are for practicing English words you know, others, along with a dictionary app, will help you learn new words!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson where you'll learn how to play 5 games in your mind as you practice your English!

In this English lesson you'll learn over 60 English action verbs and I will make them really easy to remember by acting each one out. As you continue to learn English you'll want to be able to describe the actions you do with your hands, eyes, head, and your whole body. You'll want to memorize these English action verbs.

In this lesson I'll help you learn these English verbs in an engaging and sometimes funny way. This lesson will hopefully help you learn some more English, but also make you smile and maybe even laugh! I can be a bit silly at times.

You'll learn English verbs like flick, kick, and yank. You'll learn simple verbs like push and pull, and more advanced verbs like yank and tug.

I'm sure this video will be helpful for you, or if you are an English teacher you're welcome to use this in your English class.

Sometimes the questions are easy. Sometimes they are hard, but either way, I will try to answer them as best as I can.

I know what it is like for you learning a language like English. I have spent a lot of time learning and perfecting my French. It is my second language. Along the way I had a lot of questions, and sometimes I wasn't able to find the answers in textbooks or online. I'm sure some of you are having the same experience while learning English.

In this English lesson I hope to answer questions about pronunciation, usage, phrasal verbs, and other strange English phrases.

In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to describe things that hurt. I'll help you learn how to describe things that just don't feel right with your body. This English lesson will be especially helpful before a visit to the doctor so that you can accurately explain your symptoms. It's always a good idea to be familiar with English health care and medicine vocabulary.

As you learn English it can be hard to find lessons on every topic. I have made it my goal as an English teacher on Youtube to cover every single topic I can think of over the next few years. I think this English lesson about pain and injuries will be quite helpful for you!

Welcome to this English grammar lesson about the present simple tense. This is also a very common English verb tense, and it is very useful to learn it. Once you master it you'll be able to talk about the things you love and like, your habits and routines, and how to state facts. As a bonus you'll also learn the zero conditional!

I'll start by helping you learn how to form the present simple verb tense for spoken English using I, You, We, and They. I'll then make sure you know how to conjugate it with He, She and other nouns. I'll also make sure I help you understand how to use it in the negative, and how to form questions with this tense.

At the end of the lesson I'll give you an English practice tip you can use to help really learn this tense and never forget it! It is a very useful tense to learn for English conversation practice.

I think right now is a great time to have an online English lesson so you can learn some English. It's January. It's 2021. We're all stuck inside. What else are you doing right now? Why not join me and learn some English!

In today's question and answer lesson I will answer questions from all of you about usage, pronunciation, vocabulary, and phrases. I'll do my best to answer as clearly as possible.

From my own experience learning the French language, I'm familiar with the struggle you may have learning a language. I know as an English learner you have questions that you just can't find the answers to. You can't find answers online or in books, and sometime you don't have an English teacher who you can ask. In this lesson I'll do my best to answer as many questions as I can about this weird and fun language we call English!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson!

Learning the English language can be hard. There are, however, things you can do to make things a bit easier. In this English lesson I'll talk about 10 common mistakes that language learners make and how you can fix them. After all, learning English should be as simple as possible! There is no need to make it harder than it needs to be!

Be aware thought, that these aren't specifically English mistakes, they are more about mistakes that learners make as they are studying. This is more about method than the actual language.

In this lesson I'll talk about the importance of taking notes, the importance of having a goal, and other things that will really help you progress rapidly while studying English.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson and I hope you can avoid all of the mistakes that I mentioned!

Sometimes when you are taking an English class you learn many things, but you're left having some questions. The English language is both orderly, and at the same time a little bit strange.

It will be hard for me to answer all the questions, but I will do my best to answer as many as I possible can.

In this English lesson I will teach you 5 common questions (and types of questions) that you will hear quite often in English, and I'll help you learn how to answer them.

In particular in the video I'll help you with questions that are formed using, "How was....?"

People often ask questions after you have done something. They'll ask questions like, "How was the movie?" or "How was the getaway?" and you'll want to be ready to answer them.

As you learn to express yourself in English when answering these types of questions, you'll want to be able to convey if you enjoyed something, or if you didn't enjoy it.

In this English lesson I'll help you learn a range of responses to help you communicate how you felt!

When you are learning English, it's always good to practice your pronunciation from time to time with tongue twisters. These are phrases that are very hard to say clearly and quickly, even for native English speakers.

In this English lesson I will help you learn 5 completely new tongue twisters that are designed to help you practice pronouncing the S, SH, TH, R, W and X sounds in English.

Some of these are very hard for some English learners. Some of these phrases might be easy for you. Either way, take some time each day this week to practice these tongue twisters and help develop the ability to pronounce these sounds correctly when speaking English.

I hope you enjoyed this English lesson where you were able to learn a few more tongue twisters.

For some reason I like to answer questions from English language learners. I like that you are spending time learning the English language, and I know it can be confusing at times. One of my favourite things to do each week is to host an English lesson where you can ask me questions about things you find hard to understand, and I do my best to give a clear concise answer.

I know that learning English can be a blast! I know that learning English can be a lot of fun, but I also know there are times when you just need someone to explain to you why certain things are a certain way.

In this English lesson we'll look at some activities that people do that are a little bit crazy. Learning English doesn't exactly give you a rush. You don't get an adrenaline rush from a good English class (or maybe you do!), but there are many things that people do for excitement and entertainment that very exciting.

This English lesson will be a combination of a vocabulary lesson, but also a phrase lesson as I talk about a number of crazy things people do. I'll define the terms, help you learn the correct English pronunciation, and I'll give you a number of phrases that you can use to talk about that activity.

There are as many theories on how to learn English as there are people. In this English lesson I look at the following four questions and give my opinion on each:

1) Do you need a native English teacher (versus a non-native English teacher) to learn English?
2) Should you use subtitles when watching an English video?
3) Do you need to learn English grammar?
4) Can you learn English just by listening?

I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about each of these, and I think you'll find my practical responses to each of these questions helpful as you continue to learn English.

After all, there is no right or wrong answer most of the time. The right answer is that you should be setting up a deliberate routine to study the English language that allows you to make good progress with your learning regardless of what others say you should or should not be doing!

I hope you enjoyed this English lesson! Have a great day!

Each week I like to do a live English lesson where I give all the English learners who attend a chance to ask a question about the English language. Usually I can answer each question and I can help clarify some things that you might be wondering about the language.

As you learn English you may run into a word or two that is actually from your own language. We often borrow or steal words from other languages for certain things. In this English lesson I look at over 40 words that we have taken from other languages around the world.

You'll learn English words that were originally French, Dutch, Arabic, Japanese, and many more!

This was a fascinating English lesson for me create for you and I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot. It will be much more than a simple English vocabulary lesson. I'll define each word, and give many example sentences with each.

When learning English, it is important to spend time reading, writing, listening, speaking, and building vocabulary. In my previous English lessons I've talked about the first three areas of study.

In this English lesson I'll talk a little bit about why speaking English regularly with an English speaking partner is incredibly important for your progress.

Of all of the areas you can study, speaking can be challenging because you need to find someone to talk to, and often you will have to pay for this type of English lesson, but it is worth it!

A speaking partner can immediately correct your mistakes, they can help you build confidence and the very nature of the conversation being stressful can help you remember more.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about the importance of speaking English and having and English speaking partner!

The cornerstones of learning English involve reading, writing, listening, speaking, and building vocabulary. As an English learner you will also study some grammar along the way.

In this particular English lesson I'll talk a little bit about why writing is both cool and important when it comes to studying English.

Of all of the areas you can study, writing certainly can be challenging and frustrating, but it can also help you power through any plateaus you have reached in your English learning. Writing improves your speaking and your ability to express yourself in English. Of all the ways you can get ready for an English conversation, writing just may be one of the best.

It helps you form ideas, thoughts, and sentences at your own pace, and it allows you to make the corrections you need before anyone sees it.

Sometimes when you are learning English you feel like you aren't making progress. You have hit a plateau. A plateau in learning occurs when you keep working at learning, but you can't seem to get better at the language.

Of all of the areas you can study, it is the one you can do easily and for long stretches of time, and it can give you access to native English speakers as you continue to learn this amazing language.

In this English lesson I'll be talking about the future. Not the future tense (ugh, I know it's important to learn English grammar, but I'm not a big fan of teaching it), but the actual future.

As I teach this English class I'll be talking about things like, "Will we live on the moon someday?" and "When do you think we'll travel to the stars?"

I've always liked to read science fiction novels, so I'm super excited to teach this English lesson.

In this English lesson I have a special guest. I mentioned to Jen that I wanted to make an English lesson about marriage and I invited her to join. She said yes! We thought a good format would be to ask you for some questions about marriage and then take the time to answer them.

In this video Jen and I will teach you a few English words and phrases about marriage while we're answering some of your questions about our marriage and marriage in Canada.

I'll admit this is more of an English listening practice lesson than a true English lesson, but I do teach some English marriage words and phrases, and it does have word-for-word English subtitles if you need them. Be aware though that most of the lesson is spent responding to questions that some of you sent us.

It was a lot of fun to make this video. I hope that you enjoy it as well! Thanks for all the questions and once again I apologize that we could only answer about 30 of them. There simply wasn't time to answer over 200.

Have a great day!

P.S. We printed out all the questions and chose two per page. If I didn't answer your question it doesn't mean it wasn't a good question, but we needed to limit the question in some way.
