    Humans share the same response to the certain colours. For instance, red has very high visibility. Red often been associated with energy, war and danger. It is an emotionally intense colour and can enhance human metabolism, increase respiration rate and raise blood pressure. However, I don´t think an environment with a lot of blue makes me sad; perhaps a white one. That´s such amazing subject.

    you are doing excellent job in this channel , all your videos are amazing ,very helpful and educational specially for some of us that we cannot afford private lessons or we don;t have enough time to attend structured classes.Thank you a lot for all your efforts. As about today's lesson was wonderful and it's entirely truth that colour are affecting our mood and also they can represent our personality, People with confidence quite often are choosing bold ,bright colours whereas people who lacks condifence could easier go to more dark colours. Thank you one more time - looking forward for a new one :)

    It's all about taste and preferences as the video says. In my opinion, my favorite colour is the yellow, because alludes to the sun and the sun (God) for me its the hope for all of us in this life shining over the humanity. Everyday is a new beggining and the sun still shines over all us. Blessings!

    It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

    Great video! The most important thing in life is knowledge of foreign languages! Thanks to foreign languages you can realize all your dreams and realize your grandiose ambitions! I would like to recommend all the practices of Yuriy Ivantsiv ''Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language". This book will be an indispensable helper, a handbook for every person who studies a foreign language! This book contains invaluable tips, questions and answers, and solutions to problems faced by anyone who studies a foreign language! Knowledge is power! And knowledge of foreign languages is your power multiplied by many times! Success to all in self-development!
