- I've been away since May. Here's why I left, and what's happening next.
I speak quite quickly in this video so do not feel disappointed with yourself if you find it harder to understand than usual. I have added subtitles so use them if you need them.
Lucy x
I'm sorry that this isn't what most of you were hoping for, but I needed to get a lot of things off my chest.
Thank you for your support and patience!! x
No matter what we love you, Lucy 💜
Always support you 👍💖
I love your videos
Glad to see you Lucy!
problems are part of life....they come they go....but we ,the "Lucyfam" always loves you
Nice to see you again, Miss 🙏🏻
Dear Lucy:
STOP APOLOGIZING. The more you try to explain yourself, the more the cancel mob will attack you. You've apologized, it's enough. You meant no malice in any of your videos. Stop beating yourself up. Get on with your work and learn who matters to you. Don't give internet trolls or anyone else power over you. Focus on your supporters and everyone who loves you. That's ALL that matters. I really hope you see this.
Can't believe I have so many likes, lol. Thanks TH-cam! I really hope Lucy reads this!! Love you Lucy! ❤
I totaly agree!!
Totally agree.
The more you apology, The more hate and stupid people you will get.
I really hope she sees this as well! And thank you for such a lovely and encouraging comment.
She is really sensible and kind and she also has a huge heart... Maybe she needs to apologize, for herself, to feel herself better... But, actually , it is not necesary
Lucy, I always enjoy watching your video.
You are one of the best English teachers on TH-cam. Everything is going to be fine.
This. Plus I think you are going overboard with what other people think. You just do you.
It's a big true!!!!
Her accent is very easy to understand, she is very didactics... Sharing important points and tips about English... I hope she will be back soon!
And she is also a great person! I always enjoy her videos, i've learnt a lot.
Continue please,you are great. This situation showed how humble you are recognizing that you can do things in a better way
I enjoy her lessons, but real feedback and crtiticism is always need to improve what we do
To be perfectly honest, I don’t see what you need to apologise for. We live in a world now where people are recreationally offended, offended on behalf of someone else, some other culture. The work you do is amazing, don’t let the haters win.
"Recreationally offended" I haven't heard that before but how true!
I'm not from UK, I'm from Brazil. But this is happening here too, but here things got a bit further...
Some people are being arrested for speak against decisions from our Supreme Court... some youtubers and comedians are being sued literally for say their opinion on their channel or a show...
@@gabs6336 . It’s disgusting, it’s only going to get worse. We have to stop arguing with each other, we’re stronger together🇬🇧👍👍👍
you can claim this sure, but consider being a southerner of the US in a northern city. I had a cousin meet up with me in NYC from Alabama, and he had the worst time...a lot of people treated him like he was an idiot just because of his accent. I mean...if the connotation were I had to change my accent for people to take me seriously...I'd be miffed too. Nobody likes to be judged on dumb shit. My cousin owns 2 businesses! Successful guy! But people think his accent sounds "stupid" so he must be too.
@@Posit_Zero_Blue . But, doesn’t that say more about the intelligence of the people that judged his accent.I try not to have anything to do with negative people.
I had not been aware of what has happened with your videos and the twitterverse. I appreciate your talk through with this and am sending you lots of love, also lots of love to anyone who has ever felt less-than because of how they speak!
Thank you Rachel. It’s really lovely to see you here. Sending a massive hug x
If I could, I would like to give you a big hug... But unfortunately, it is not going to be possible... Sorry
Could I talk to you on Zoom Lucy? I have a big offer for you that you might like...

Hi Lucy,
My name is Inna and I'm an English teacher myself and I also run a TH-cam channel in Ukraine where we post our English lessons. I've just watched your video and I want to support you. The first thing I'd like to say is that you are an inspiration for me. I love to watch your videos, they are informative, interesting, and just awesome. The best part of your videos is you, as you have gorgeous pronunciation and an exceptional sense of humor.
I've studied at Kyiv National Linguistic University and our first lesson was an introduction to RP. We've spent years on training sounds, diphthongs, words, and whole sentences. And we loved it, as we wanted to sound like British. RP is a standard that is understandable to everyone, it is clear and easy to learn. I don't understand why people are so angry. Are we done with racism or ageism, or any other -ism? Like there are no other problems left and this is the only one in the world. Here in Ukraine we also have a standard Ukrainian language and we also have hundreds of accents and dialects, and I find beauty in that. I bet every language has its standard and its accents. But English is a global language, lingua franca that is used in every country and there should be a standard. Would it be possible for foreign students to learn a language when you give them ten variants of pronunciation for one word? I bet no. Those people who have criticized you are not totally fair, you were not making fun of other accents, you've just shown how the words are pronounced according to the dictionary.
The second thing, don't let anyone break you. You are doing an enormous amount of work, it's free, and it helps people. I hope you will overcome this whole thing as soon as possible. Waiting for your new videos
Indeed.
Such a beautiful comment. Yes,indeed, all languages have its own identity and beauty. And as you said, all this horrible attitude comes from frustration. When someone is busy to do something great doesn't have time to hate.
Certainly, i agree at ur statement. Every region has its own accent and dilect as well.you know in our district people talks differently with each other. Y should they do this? Just bcoz of different dilects and accents n it's just a simple city n when we consider different nations, there must be different accents.so stop uptighting urself and its thehuman nature of people who tends to criticize and bilittle others.keep focusing on ur work.May Almighty God grant you resounding success!
Love u lot from India
згоден!
Spot on! :-)
Never give up Lucy! You are the best English teacher on TH-cam, don't ever stop posting videos for us
Lucy, I am an old woman, and your videos make me happy. I love watching them and learning just how fun the British sense of humor is. I am concerned that my written words will not convey to you just how much I admire your generous heart and your warmth. Life will always bring harsh things our way. I too have struggled with depression on occasion. My advice will seem trite, but my advice is sincere. “Choose Joy”. Whenever you can…God bless you and your family.
As an EFL teacher who’s also from the North East and doesn’t have an RP accent, I have never found your content offensive and have frequently found it very useful. I watch all of your videos and recommend my students to watch them too. They’re light hearted, concise and easy to understand. I hope you get back on the horse and don’t let the keyboard warriors get you down
I hope so too
Dear Lucy, it's heartbreaking to see you so sad. Everything is going to be fine. I started watching your English videos when I felt stuck at a certain level and I needed inspiration, and I found it in your lessons. People from all over the world, people of all colours watch them, and learn from them, and appreciate the huge work you are doing. And there is nothing wrong with trying to learn native-like pronunciation, because sounds are also a part of language, and there are certain limits to any original accent) You are a popular youtuber, and a teacher, and that's a responsibility, but you didn't deserve to be a scapegoat, all that thing didn't have to be cruel, because no problem can be solved by multiplying hatred and cruelty. I hope you are happy and busy again soon, and am looking forward to your wonderful lessons. From Russia with love)
Plse don't leave we all alone😔
Very well put :))
👏👏👏
True
Lucy, you're apologising for something you've never done. Your intentions were the best. Every language has its own pronunciations and there's nothing wrong about it. You're a teacher. You teach the right pronunciation. There's NOTHING wrong with that. You're FANTASTIC. Let haters speak. Your work is so helpful and if I'm learning a language, particularly, I want to learn the right pronunciation. You're awesome. You did nothing wrong. Please, forget those haters and when you feel mentally well again, come back to us! We love you and your videos! Hugs! ❤
I totally agree !!!
I am totally agree with you.
That's the problem. Only 2-5% of British use the 'right' pronunciation. This is problematic because most ESL learners are exposed to an accent that almost nobody in the UK uses. And then go to the UK and understand nothing. Also, to make a carrier you have to lose your regional accent to be perceived as professional.
There's an old English saying that goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions".
I have a question. The "right" pronunciation to who? To Australians, Irish, Americans, English People from London or Scottish People? There is a standard for sure, but from a linguistics perspective everyone is right speaking in its particular way.
Even though i am watching this video more than a year when it was made, i appreciate your humility and the great lenght you went to explain everything that happened. However we live in a world of opinions so everything one does, either if it is coming from a good place or not, is going to judged, either positively or negatively. Therefore if you did not break any laws, which i am sure you didn't, and was doing things that you thought were correct at that time, there is no need to feel guilty, embarrased or offended about that. One last thing, your English lessons are fantastic!!!
I am from Argentina.
Your lessons are amazing. Don’t give up. Envy is a constant in human history when somebody is successful.
Very eloquently put. Your English is phenomenal. Well done, genuinely. :)
Yo me quejaba mas del audio horrible de los casettes o los CDs que de los acentos que escuchaba. Hay un comentario que dice que hay mucha gente que se ofende de manera "recreativa"...y la verdad es que tiene razon. La flaca no tiene por que estar disculpandose porque se remil entiende que nunca lo hizo con mala intencion. La gente se queja porque no tiene otra cosa mejor que hacer
@@RyugaChan Porque no saben el acento inglés de Inglaterra
@@RyugaChan ahí estamos la gente se aburre mucho y no sabe q hacer con su vida (here that's the problem, ppl get so bored and dunno what to do w their lives)
"Envy is a constant", that is so well said. Is that a Spanish expression?
I think we suffer from a culture in which some people are proactively looking for things to be offended about. Your channel is excellent please keep up the good and entertaining work.
Yes we call it cancel culture very disturbing and down Wright EVIL
@James Woolley I'm from China and now live in the UK. I hate to admit that "cancel culture" is actually quite a big issue in China and I'm totally disgusted by it (and I'm also disgusted by your attitude, "wooo, do you know nothing of history, wooo look at me, I know everything" ). But saying it's pure Maoist is debatable. As far as I'm concerned, China's "cancel culture" is substantially different from what people would have seen in the UK. In China, such culture is totally driven by political issues without a doubt. The government makes all the decisions and we just "listen". (To be honest, most of Chinese people aren't even bothered with any decisions made by the government, so long as it doesn't have dramatic impact on our everyday life. There is only one party in China, and people are doing well, but if it fks up, it fks up, blehhhhhhh). However, in the UK, I assume the situation is very similar to the US, the formation of "cancel culture" is due to the opinions or the use of language being perceived as offensive by others, especially the minorities (I'm Gaysian, so I belong to the group I suppose). I agree with neither of the "cultures". As long as, say, TV shows or comments are for purpose of entertainment, in most cases, I wouldn't mind "gay jokes" or "Asian jokes" (I find Piers Morgan imitating Chinese advert quite amusing actually. Because he imitates everybody not only Chinese people, there is no need to be offended). But I do think there is an invisible line that you shouldn't cross. Well, although both "cultures" are trying to force us into thinking and acting in the way that they think is correct, by definition, Maoism is an ideology developed to realise the objectives of CHINA, and now back to what you were discussing, "cancel culture" is a pure Maoist operation, if in China, I 100% agree. But wtf has it got anything to do with what's happening in your country? Obviously, you've given your "examples", but it does not establish any links between "cancel culture" in America and Confucius Institutes, a more detailed demonstration is needed for it to be called Maoist.
Will Perrin, No. Learning moment, as she states quite clearly. She hasn't been cancelled.
@@blainer5466 Right on.
@@Cu3oid I can only assume you didn't read my comment.
This is a story I once heard and stuck with me my whole life:
"A man and his son were travelling on a journey, so he bought a donkey. Horses and donkeys were a means of transport back then, today’s equivalent of a car.
The man was old and frail, years of battling the sun strokes and dust devils had taken its toll.
This journey was a vacation, a reward for his years of labour. The father and son were excited to spend some bonding time together.
The old man got on the donkey since he was older and weaker, and they began their journey, with the son walking alongside him. They were suddenly accosted by someone who said to the father, “Lazy old man! How dare you allow a little boy to walk under the blazing heat of the sun?”
The old man got off and put his son on the donkey. As they continued their journey, a passerby said loudly, “What a foolish old man! Do you want to die in the heat while your son who is youthful and stronger rides on the donkey?” So the father got on the donkey as well.
As they rode through a village, they saw a crowd of people who yelled at them saying “Those two heartless riders are trying to kill that poor donkey.” So they both got off, and walked alongside the donkey and continued their journey.
As they approached another village, they overheard the loud whispers. “These two must either be retarded or slaves to hard life, walking alongside a perfectly strong animal, when they can ride on it!”
The father looked at his son and said: “There’s no wisdom you can apply, there’s no moral conduct you can portray, there’s no path you can take, that will ever satisfy the people of the world.""
Story from the East
very educative thank you very much for sharing it.
That's a really wise story ☺️ we should follow our own life way without listening to pieces of advice! The route of it in our own heads, minds and hearts!!! Thanks a lot!
I know that story since I was a child
You make my day .
It's been a week I was thinking that why everyone has different point about me.
It make's me pathatic all the time when I get to talk someone ,and it's like I know what kind of thinking laterally they have for me.and their nice behaviour makes me anger as I know reality.
But I got your pint
Thanks again
Oh my goodness Lucy. I hate to hear this. In the US we literally make fun of each other all the time about how we sound because we have so many different accents within the US. It would be awesome if you could come to the states and travel from state to state and listen to the different way everyone speaks it’s crazy. Accents fascinated me and always have.I often wonder what would make one group of people sound different from another group of people simply based on the region they’re from. Why is there a northern accent and a southern accent in almost every country. Why is there a city accent and a country accent in like every country.? Keep doing what what you are doing!! You are fun to watch and I have been learning about your culture simply from you explaining the differences in how we speak the same language.
I'm from the States too never would make fun of an accent. I do offended cringle at Southen dialects that people use. I live in the Eastern Tn region and asked why my dialect is so different from the 'norm' spoken here. I have to explain that my how parents are not originally from the area. My dad grew up in Maryland, and my mom is from the South of Nashville her dialect is more Westen Tn. Since grandmother grew up North of Memphis. I also have wondered reasons we have such diverse dialects especially since I have been around all my life. What I have learned and studied on various regions spoken in a culture. It relates back to the level of education people has a heavy influence on their speech. Offer times if don't understand grammar usage then words get used incorrectly and then carried over to how used in speech.
I am Israeli and went to a university in Canada .first year with poor English i had
a prof from India, another from texas,
and one from England .it was like the UN without translation.
Definitely! I'm from NJ. We can tell if your from North or South as soon as you open your mouth! It's hilarious in the states to hear different accents.
I'm an English teacher and I come here to your channel seeking help- sometimes. I cannot express how wonderful you are, and all the effort you put through your lessons; don't let yourself go down because of haters. Keep being outstanding
I'm not one for responding to videos like this, but I remember watching the "Northern vs.Southern accents" video. As an official 'Northerner' I found your video very endearing, and entertaining. I really enjoyed listening to your Northern accent. We now live in a world of people publicly feigning outrage for the social brownie points. Seriously don't beat yourself up about it. My mum is Greek and speaks with very broken English, and she very much enjoys your video (and benefits from them). Your content is gold. Please keep creating!
sucks that I missed it.
Lucy, thank your for help with English language.
Didn't the 9th Doctor have a Northern accent?
@@siljatanner1318 Christopher Excleston. And I found it VERY annoying, but not half as annoying as Billie Piper’s.🤣😂😂
You have no idea how much I've missed you! I really hope that you will continue to make them on a regular basis!
Lucy
:focus on the people who likes u and loves u
:they r bit jealous as ur so successful and admiring
Be happy and continue happily doing videos as u do ever!
Lots of love 💕
Honestly, you are my most favorite English Teacher on TH-cam, Ms Lucy 🙏 and I love your character 💛 Hope everything is going well at your end.
There is no point in it. Academics, language purists, teachers, really everybody would know and understand that nowadays English is a global language connecting people all around the world. As a non native speaker I really consider the importance of being exposed to very diverse accents a cornerstone of my learning curve! Lucy is an added value in the scenario and everyone would appreciate her outstanding efforts. As though she is a very sensitive person you might think she is a fish out of the water in the mess of the social media, but we really need this kind of fish! Please Lucy go straight ahead being exactly how you are!
Speaking from my experience as an English teacher, I can tell you that your videos have been quite useful, and that many of us who consider themselves as educators, think of you as an excellent role model because you've provided us with extremely valuable information regarding pronunciation, culture, grammar, etc. Every day, by uploading these videos, you try to do your best to help others improve their skills while learning English. You have no idea how grateful I am for all the things I've learnt from your channel. Thank you for helping us, and regarding the matter discussed during the video, we are humans, everybody makes mistakes, nobody cannot judge you for that. The important thing is that we are humble enough to apologise, to make things right and move on. In conclusion, Lucy, keep on being such a wonderful person and don't forget the people who truly appreciate you and all the knowledge you share. Best regards from a fellow teacher. Bye.
Well said!
"nobody cannot judge you for that"- double negative, big no in English. We say "nobody can judge you for that" OR " one cannot judge you for that*.
Totally agree with you!
You are the best in your place. I am learning a lot from your video and enriching myself. You must not leave us to criticize anyone. I want to see your new video again and again when I open TH-cam. Best of luck.
@@pninabenjamin-kaufmann6171 she is probably a non-native teacher of English. Looks like you might be non-native too.
Lucy, you are too hard on yourself, we are humans, we make mistakes. There are moments in life when we feel we do everything wrong. Don't worry too much, you have many followers who like your style and your accent. Please continue doing your coutryside videos, they are fun and it's nice to see the English countyside. I have lived for 8 years in London, and although it is a beautiful city, I wish I lived outside. It was really a joy for me to go hiking in Surrey or Kent and see a bit of green. You are doing a good job!
As a teacher in Sweden I find your channel amazing. You are genuine and warm. Yes, you made a few mistakes, but almost always you do such a wonderful job. I hope you are in a happy place in life right now 🤗
No matter what, you still the most beautiful English teacher I've ever seen. Stay strong Ms Lucy, everything will be fine!
DAT's language channel you are right.
Lucy, this is not necessary. There is a group out there that will make chaos with everything they strive for attention and you only feed it when you respond. You're an English teacher, and you do that very well, nothing else matters. Your private life decisions doesn't matter as long it doesn't effect your teaching ability. We your supporters don't care, simple.
I'm willing to bet alot of money, that the few that took up in arms, don't even follow you regularly.
Hm, that is right. I felt uncomfortable a bit too watching this because we have never really got to know her differently than a "teacher". But, your words may hurt her because you indicate that you don't care about her as a person, simply about her job and what she does for you.
You know? I am also a great supporter and I achieved a British accent and a C1 certificate through her help, however, I would love to know a bit more about her.
You’re wonderful, Lucy. Keep shining.
Plz rply me... I jst ask u... Can i ask u somthng
I was in a bad relationship once and got nervous and anxious every time my phone beeped because it was usually an upsetting text message. I can't imagine what it would be like if hundreds or thousands of people were sending me upsetting messages. I totally understand why you would want to take a break from it. I hope you feel better soon. I still enjoy your videos.
I can't tell you how much I respect you for honestly facing, talking through and learning through this difficulty journey. I'm a linguist and ESL professional who has had to think through these same issues. Thank you for sharing!!
Dear Lucy, first tell Will I'm sorry for his loss. Second, PLEASE stop carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You didn't create racism or accentism, those are systemic problems the world needs to solve, not you. I am English teacher too, and I used to mock at people's regional accents just to make the class fun, I have realised my mistake. Still, I am happy I met brave thoughtful students who helped me grow from those mistakes. You need to focus on all the people who have learned thanks to your work, please continue creating your great content and welcome to accentism conversation, we want to hear your voice, remember we are all imperfect long life learners
Hello! Can you study me to speak English fluently?
Right
Perfect comment!!! Hi from Brazil
Lucy,
if you felt you needed to apologize it's not a bad thing. It shows that you are humble and of good character, which is a rarity today. With such wonderful qualities you will have even better business on TH-cam. Don't forget this fact "If You stopped at every barking dog You wouldn't get anywhere. "👍
Mr. Kutlesa, I like your saying " If you stopped at every barking dog, you wouldn't get anywhere" . Very wise 👍.
I aggre with you. It’s really hard to talk heartily like Lucy did. It reveals great maturity!
Lucy, you are a wonderful person and you are only human. You are a great teacher- Keep up your great style. You are appreciated and loved!
Everybody makes mistakes but not everybody is willing to to admit them and to learn from them, but you do.
You are a wonderful person!
Dear Lucy, I've only just discovered your wonderful videos and I love them. People on social medial will always criticise those they are jealous of, just keep putting out your wonderful content, your fans will always believe in you! Love from Australia
I do agree that you are a bit too sensitive and overthinking about this. But that also shows how nice, caring and responsible of a person you are. Everybody makes mistakes at some time, although your mistake was more serious for you than for us, I appreciate the fact that you addressed it and thought about it thoroughly.
I hope you will get over this quickly and continue making amazing English videos that help millions more people than the ones that were upset about your tiny mistake. I truly wish you all the best.
It seems there are 2 ways to look at everything! You're an amazing person just for being so real and vulnerable. Thanks for your hard work!
Hi Lucy, you can NOT satisfy everyone in this world. God will judge people by their hearts not by what they say. I believe you, please shake it off and move on.
She needs to care for just her fans. She seems care for just one guy who doesn't like her video.
I prayed for her, Jesus has a power in heaven on the earth
My dearest Lucy, don't listen to anyone, you are wonderful. And don't ever apologize, you didn't do anything wrong. There are always "experts" out there who will find stuff in your videos to criticize you about. You can't suit them all... There are so many people who love your videos. They matter more than a bunch of conservative linguists. Love you 💓
I think they’re rather progressive linguists...
Agree!
Its very bad that happen with Lucy mam.ouww God!! What the fucking people in the world
Exactly.... Don't try to please everyone. Be you... Tell us how to be professional in your opinion... Not these "professional s" . Upsetting or insulting various people in today's age can't be the reason to stop stating your opinion. If I am "insulted" I can stop listening... So can they. I want to hear your ideas, not the vanilla, dorked down, one size fits all, non insulting to all version - I want to hear what you feel is perfect pronunciation. As we might say in the US....Stick to your guns!
Exactly! So called experts will always find something to demonstrate and show off they make a difference! ...
Cheer up, Lucy! The world is weird nowadays. People would rather interpret things negatively just to create chaos than see the good and bigger picture. As a black person I feel shame over some of the things that when people of other colors with good intentions do/say something gets interpreted in a wrong way and we scare them forever and thereby lose their support.
We need more ppl like you😊
Lucy, from reading the comments, I can see....YOU ARE LOVED! There will always be people who cause trouble and and like to create division. They are everywhere. I enjoy your videos and you are a sweetheart!
Nooo, no-no-no. It was the best channel ever. That's what we need. We do not care about any minor mistakes. We didn't require a professorial level of knowledge. We like all your videos. Thank you for everything you did. We will be waiting for new videos. We hope that everything will be ok ;)
The internet has been a unhealthy place, unfortunatelly. Stay well. A hello from Brazil. Thanks for your great videos.
Patricia, you are absolutely right. I feel sorry for Lucy but I’m 100% she’ll be back, better and stronger than before 🥺🤩✨ this Colombian guy has learnt A LOT thanks to her
I’m with you! I wish she come back ASAP back to this platform.
It's actually 'an' not 'a' placed before a word starting from a vowel, you should watch out for this next time.
@@aprilblast2442 Thanks 😉
Couldnt agree more with you!
Dear Lucy,
First I want to say here that you´re an outstanding teacher and I feel thankful to you for all your great lessons.
Those who criticize you in that way are closed-minded people, they don´t deserve to be called students or linguists in a wide sense. You´ll find that sort of people everywhere, you must take it in account in your way. ¨Tiny dogs bark when the bigger ones move forward" . Keep moving forward.
My best wishes.
Hey do not worry about all of this you have a "Good Heart!" your teaching is coming from a good place and is helping many, many people. Please keep on keeping on!
Dearest Lucy, please, please, please read this book: "Thick Face, Black Heart" and you'll never will be stopped doing your fantastic work by listening to anyone's opinion like it happened this time. You are a brilliant teacher!
Really good book i also try to read
You’re so sweet and genuine. I love your vlog style videos and glad you’re back. I think people can be opportunistic and bandwagon jumping. It’s the dark side of cancel culture. People feel safe to gang up and forget that the person on the receiving end of the public lashing is a human being. I don’t think your intentions were ever harmful, but to make a video like this speaks volumes of your character and maturity 💙
Thank you Jules. I agree with you - I don’t think humans are naturally ready for the internet 😂
@@lucy 😂
Oh Lucy, I feel for you. I am a sensitive person as well and can understand how difficult it must have been for you.
Lucy Ma'am...don't give up please...you know you are my favorite teacher. Don't worry about those things which are meaningless. You are helping students all around the globe 🌎
my heart is broken when I see an angel crying, please Lucy, don't be sad.
You have no idea how much joy you bring to people's lives. I am far from a novice in English, yet I watch literally every one of your videos. You're genuine, cheerful and such a nice person. I understand you feel bad about current situations, but I just want you to remember you make a thousand times more people happy than you do otherwise. And remember that people taking offence in what you say doesn't mean what you said was out of hate or something. You have a good heart. We need more people like you nowadays.
Take care, Lucy
I know right !
Absolutely
It's surprising how willing people are to get offended, I personally have never interpreted your videos in that way and I have always had a good time watching you. I hope everything goes well for you and looking forward to more lessons! Have a nice day!
She literaly said that if you don't speak with her accent you don't sound professional. This is not people willing to get offended. How do you think academic people from other countries feel? I am from Colombia, and some people even say that if you write an academic paper in Spanish is not that professional. Like if one language were superior than other, imagine being told that you can not even use your native accent, a part of your identity because you do not sound "professional".
@@catalinavasquez3595 I don't think foreign people understand the UK. In the US you have BLM, but in the UK we have a whole undertone based on class not colour. People from a certain class in the South-East almost unwittingly (like what she is admitting here) look down their nose at people with regional accents in the rest of the country. Class in the UK is based more on accent than how much money you have. That said most who speak like this lady or even more posh are perceived to be upper class or upper middle. I can tell she has probably been to a private school just by hearing her speak for example. In professional environments there will be a certain amount of discrimination (like BLM) based on your accent. So often someone with a posh southerm accent may be favoured in interviews over someone with a strong regional accent.
There is no need to apologise you are brilliant and a great teacher!
I have learned a lot from you my English is improving at every lesson my vocabulary is richer and I feel more confident using new expressions instead of the old tired ones. Please continue with your work and know that you are helping many people. Be always this great teacher and the beautiful person that you are And remember to us You are a Star 🌟
We don’t live in a paradise. You can’t make everyone happy. People talk about you either good or bad because they still care and think about you. We still love you Lucy.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: People who hate you or post bad things about you are really only jealous of you and want the success and beauty which you have in bucketloads. It really is as simple as that! Use the Countdown from 5 technique before you react to any negative comment. Use the spiritual shower cleanse technique to wash off their negativity, to make you strong and to create a protective bubble around you. All the best of luck to you, Lucy! 🙏😇🕊🇲🇺💪😎
Don't worry too much about the trolls. Everybody makes mistakes. What's important is whether or not you learn from mistakes. You've been doing great on your English channel. Be strong!
Lucy, I really missed your videos. And now, I see you apolgizing about things I've never realized, because every video taught me something, in a very lovely and funny way to learn. If very bad things happened to you, I really hope you to recover the sooner the better, and to have plenty of peace and Joy. Sincerely from Pedro in Chile.
Just keep doing what you’re doing… it helps a lot of non English native speakers like me. Thank you.
STOP APOLOGIZING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE RELENTLESSLY LOOKING TO GET OFFENDED WITH CRAZY DELICATE SENSIBILITY.
Bro, you just said literally everything Lucy needed to hear. Thank you. I hope she sees your comment
Exactly. You shouldn't apologise about it.
I wrote about that too. People is becomming too sensitive, and they see bad intentions everywhere. Like really, you say "hola" and people will said "your making fun about Spanish speakers" recently,in a Chinese group, people ask to no say 你好! (Hello) bc everybody knows that... nosense. Everything you do could be wrong if the other person feels like that.
@@micha3624 It's not everyone, though. I'm from the generation Z and I don't do this type of stuff. But I agree that it will come to an end. I hope so, at least
Agree
I don’t understand that how can you just leave millions of people who are benefited by you for a few big mouths! Please don’t go. Stay strong.
I’ve only just discovered you, Lucy
I have really enjoyed your videos.
This was especially hard to watch, as I live with Bipolar Type Two (depressive).
I can see from your language, tone and body language, that your intentions are ‘pure’.
I’m sorry to hear that you have been in such a dark place and I sincerely hope that you’re feeling much better, and have found inner peace from your dark times.
Please keep making videos! I enjoy your humour and sincerity.
Paul
I’m not sure that you will ever read this, but Lucy you’re such a wonderful person! We all make mistakes and sometimes we offend people. When so many people watch you, there is gonna be some, who will be offended. Especially now, when people are too fussy and sensitive. Any kind of discrimination, unfortunately, is a trend now. I’m sure some of those people who shared those videos just used your name to get more attention. But it’s so great that you have power to accept your mistakes, to contact those people and to apologize. Not so many people can do that, especially when they’re a successful and public figure. I’m sure this situation was just an exam for you as a person! Und you passed it! You learned your lesson, you showed us the other side of your personality which is great and you definitely became even a better person! I’m so happy “to know” you! And please don’t be afraid. You’re controlling your speech now way too much! Everything is gonna be fine! Love and respect from little Moldova.
Hello
Your audience is mainly people learning English, not native speakers. And they do not care that much about regional nuances. They want to learn average, standard (whatever it means) English. Sure, it's good sometimes to learn how pronunciation and accent differs from region to region, but for majority of non natives, learning all the possible accents is not the point. I watch your channel to learn your accent. I can watch other natives channels to practice listening of their accents. And I do not make a hierarchy of accents: your's is better, other is worse etc. I don't care what academics think about your videos. Their criticism seems to me overreacted. Please don't blame yourself for making (if so) some minor mistakes, not visible for non natives.
SPOT ON!....we subscribed specifically because of her accent!💯
@Alex Thistle I also like the "standard" British accent. But there is much more regional accents in Great Britain. And what I meant is I don't have time, energy and any reason to study them all. Said that - I watched all Peaky Blinders series mainly for (original or not) beautiful Birmingham accent. But I will not ever try to mimic their accent, there is no point in doing this.
I agree 👍
Exactly!! It is better to learn a more standard accent! It would be so tiresome to learn all of those accents, it is not belittling those accents
Absolutely right
You cannot be responsible for everything happens in this world and for all feelings people have. At the end of the day you are just a human being living your life like everybody else by working hard and doing your best. You have that right to be that human being. Everyone does things which may not be perceived by others in a right way especially at a younger age. By no means this gives anyone a right to judge you in any way or blame you. Please keep doing what you do. You have such an incredible talent, please keep sharing it to make this world better.
100% support. I wrote in comments: don’t swing with fashion moves. Because Lucy is an unique artful person and it’s vitality important for her keep herself identity. This is what has created her as a vlog person with her fans and followers and when she stepped out on mainstream, she’s put up herself under stress/hit/attack by the enemies, not of her, but of the initiators of the mainstream wave. And as we can see she suffered so much, she tried honestly to take her part, but just got a bad reaction from society. The BLM is a new BLACK-RED marksist-socialist mental decease sponsored and influenced by the russian and chinese propaganda “foreign warfare forces”. It’s the cold war is still happen to continue.
Glad to see you're back.
I cried while watching this.
Stick around.
You've got something valuable to share.
It's very obvious that you give a damn.
My dear, “it’s not easy be you” (as we say in Brazil). The people will be jealous all the time, and for sure, even in this case, the criticize turn us strong and almost always, improve our work, but sincerely, keep going on, we need you, we do like you, and we are here to supporting you! ❤️🌷💐
Fala pra ela que os latinos precisam dela e q ela pode comprarra tudo... Sotaque... Como dentro de um pais, aqui N Inglaterra e no Brasil... Deus do ceuuuu ela tá certa falar o q ela quiser!!! Afff me dá dó de ver qto ela está chateada, gente chata!!! Ela é a melhor de todas!!! Ela não só. Ostra um inglês britânico puuuro... Entendivel!!! Desculpa, se fosse brasileira ia mandar tomar no kooooo
Q raiva q não te ho inglês pra falar tudo isso e Ingles
As someone from the UK, there’s a difference between a regional dialect and mispronouncing words. The majority of working class people can speak the English language correctly and unless one has a speech impediment, then they are choosing to live in ignorance.
It’s unfair to attack someone for trying to educate those whom may not be entirely familiar with correct pronunciation. If people feel offended by the incorrect way, perhaps it’s time to address why they are feeling too insecure to educate themselves.
We all make mistakes, but excusing your ignorance using a class war isn’t acceptable. There is a huge issue with the social and wealth divide here in the UK, but not learning from your own personal errors actually makes the rest of us from working class backgrounds look ridiculous.
Let the woke crusade attack each other and leave them to it. The vast majority of social justice warriors are bullies and people fear not sharing loaded hashtags or sound bites. Some of them really need to learn to stop all of the division, as humanity functions a lot better when we stand together.
"The vast majority of social justice warriors are bullies"
NO. they just make more noise.
randomjellybean you are so right- thanks!
Teaching a language and focusing on "perfection" is not wrong. We make mistakes, we misunderstand people. Accents, grammar (from one language to another can turn things around), body language, sarcasm.
We can have fun messing with all of it but in the end someone might take it as a personal attack or misunderstand it, which is often not the intent.
I'm sad seeing you like this :( You're really nice.
Yes it's right. The issues come when your message tend to be "if you don't have my accent it's bad", which obviously is not her message. Nothing justify the fact of making fun of someone else accent just because you have difficulties To understand it, and everyone can not have the same accent as you, native or non native speakers.
Lucy, PLEASE do not apologize! I have studied English pronunciation according to Oxford guidelines and you pronounce words perfectly! Do not lower your standards! It is a catastrophe what speakers of international (American in many cases) English have done to the beautiful English language from England! If anybody criticizes you, it is merely out of envy! P.S. Of course, you are BETTER at English than most English teachers worldwide.
Agreed - English has not been spoken in America for centuries. Americans have spent the last 250 years annhiliating the language within their borders.

@@elelegidosf9707 Having spoken Standard American English all my life I'm convinced more than ever that everyone of you needs to speak this highest form of English we speak here in America. Standard American English has become the most efficient and effective language on earth today, another great American invention. Also, being an American myself I can attest to the fact that we are indeed the most modern and civilized human beings on the planet. Everyone else is a savage compared to us.
@@vernonchelski7385 LOL. I really don't like this British English vs other "Englishes" or even standard vs standard because sometimes one can't help using the accent and vocabulary of the region he or she was born in. Yes, it is better to use the standard English version of each English-speaking country because the standard version will always be more understandable (at least to me) and also more polished (again, at least to me). However, I am more tolerant of the manner of speaking of individuals. Maybe it is because I speak English as a second language so I am one of those savages hahahaha.
@@whatevergoesforme5129 Gideon's videos are interesting. He has one on RP and Posh and says in the video that only 3% of Brits speak pure RP. Most have some regaional accent influence. Most of the people using pure RP were educated outside of England. I'd like to see Lucy's deleted video.
Lucy, whatever happened, you're the best english teacher that I've ever had 👍❤🥰 💝🇨🇦 Don't let those bad hearted people affect your positive attitude. Lots of love 🤗
Lucy, L2 speakers are your audience not native speakers with an agenda. Being an academic doesn't automatically make one's beliefs unchallengeable, especially when it comes to social sciences.
I hope you stay healthy. Your videos have helped millions. Don't forget that.
Fernando Cázares man, you spoke for me! She has nothing to apologise for! It’s a shame she feels guilty when she’s clearly not! Such an amazing teacher! 8 also agree these people are just moving an agenda on her expenses
@@brunoseven4744 I do understand that accent discrimination is a thing in some countries, but every language has a proper way of speaking, which is how one is expected to speak in the professional sphere (e.g. work, broadcast journalism, politics). Language teachers may inform students about those issues, but it is not their job to teach every single accent to fit an agenda.
Fernando Cázares I know man! I totally agree!
I am from Poland ! I LOVE YOUR ACCENT, your personality, I can't not imagine you will not speak to me anymore.
You are absolutley lovley with your self. Don't give up with people who don't like it. Not every one have to like us. People loves you I can see, I love your work and also as a human. Don't give up Lucy! You helps a lot people with your amazing language and your accent. I am happy I can choose a teacher ! I choose you, because I am here.
I'm from Newcastle, I've lived in various places so I had to 'soften' my accent although my accent wasn't strong or 'common' anyway, and I think in a way you're right that if people want to be understood in a UK-wide scenario then it's up to them to learn from people like you, specific words we say differently is commonplace and not a huge issue it's the understanding of a strong regional accent. I love your videos and your accent is beautiful and something to aspire to x
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lovely
@@lucy l don't know your story, but you speak English well. If you are in the Philippines, I am sure you are one of the best. Don't ever waste effort and time to negative comments of negative people because they are everywhere all over the world
You have never insulted anyone, but you feel guilty, so... people who criticise you win. Be strong and keep doing what you have always been doing - teach us English in modern RP, which I personally find, as the most beautiful British accent. This is why (not only ;)) I follow your channel. You are professional. :)
Hi Lucy, I am a native English teacher (originally from Johannesburg, South Africa), based in Brazil. I teach online and have over 50 students. YOU, my dear, have been and are an inspiration to me! I love your accent and your way of explaining things. don't change too much. People need to have a sense of humor we all have our own ways of explaining things. Love your work and would love to do more with you, so if you ever want to interview a South African teaching in South America, let me know and I'll forward you my details.
I just recently found you, so this is a surprise to me. Glad you're back. It helps me be careful to make it my job to understand regional accents here in the US. Bad English structure is another thing. I'm not sure what is taught in public school any more, but I remember my teachers teaching me how to mentally check my language choices. Be well, and know you make a difference out here.
You don't need to apologize. Your videos are amazing and very helpful to learn English.
Reading this on Christmas Day, very sorry to hear. Public naming and shaming is not good. I agree with you everyone makes mistakes and lessons can always be improved. Hopefully, you’re in a better space and wishing you all the best for 2021
The only mistake I see you doing is caring that much about people who cant be as successful as you. Hope you realise that!
I agree. Clearly envy involved here.
I personally don't like the idea of measuring people's value by being successful. My guess is that Lucy may feel less successful now (than she used to). Thus, on the other hand, the comment might be a bit offensive for her.
Lucy, when I listen to you, I see that you follow good values. You are trying to be honest with people, respectful, you want to listen them. That's really great and I really look up to this.
I grew up in a culture, in which it's very important not to take things personally but make an effort to get to know the intentions of the person who said or did something. I suppose some things that happened to you would be easier for a person like me. I'm not trying to judge your way of thinking, but sharing something that I find different in my mentality, and what I see possibly interesting for you. I feel responsible for my intentions, when I'm speaking. If I say something that could be misunderstood, but in general my intentions are clear - that's not my problem anymore. Thus, political correctness is something I find a waste of energy. I prefer to focus on developing virtues and following good values instead. It makes my life easier :)
Hang in there! ;)
👍
Lucy it just broke my heart to hear you explain this hurtful experience. To me it underscores how social media is not human and we were so much better as a global society without it. I adore your videos even though English is my mother tongue because I love the beautiful way you dignify the language.
I don’t know you personally but from what I’ve heard from you, you give me the impression that you are a person that, for the most part, give others the benefit of the doubt. The black professional who agreed to collaborate with you said it well, your approach may not have been the best but that you were coming from a good place. Good for him or her for being mature and rising above customarily seeing people in a negative light especially on social media.
I also was so glad to her how your fiancé, Will, stood by you during this difficult time. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says it best, “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their hard work. For if one of them falls, the other one can help his partner up. But what will happen to the one who falls with no one to help him up? Moreover, if two lie down together they will stay warm, but how can just one keep warm? And someone may overpower one alone, but two together can take a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot be quickly torn apart.”
Thank you for having the humility for seeing some of your videos the way other people saw them and apologizing to them publicly. It makes us more sensitive to the feelings of others, doesn’t it? And that is a very good thing.
Personally I don’t touch social media “with a ten foot pole” as we’re fond of saying here in California, I don’t even have a television that is hooked up to a service. I just try to help and love the people around me and it has resulted in a very rich and satisfying life. As you said in one of your videos on idioms, “What goes around comes around” or as the Bible says, “You reap what you sow.” However, I understand the reasons why some love it and use it to support themselves. Good for them.
In the end, I’d just like to say that I wish you and Will all the best, keep up the good work.
Just one question, if the British say schooner (skooner) or school (skool) why do they say schedule (shedual)? 😆😆😆
So people hurt this sweet lady by judging her as insensitive because she tried to help people to learn better English? 😣
Well, in essence it's seen as insensitive to refer to some of these ways of speaking as "better English" in the first place.
It comes down to the sort of classism that has been a big issue in the UK for a very long time, with received pronunciation as being the "correct" way of speaking and judging people not trained to speak like them as lesser and uneducated.
People see a well spoken person implying certain accents are more proper ways of speaking than others and it can give the impression to some that she was conveying this sense of elitism that has been fought against for the last few decades. Judgemental perhaps, but there is reasoning there too. It's a touchy subject, really.
@@jakerockznoodles I don't know British history so I don't want to be smarter than you. BUt the problem is that when working in an international corporation where we(I) use English, the lack of dense accent causes a lack of understanding other people. And this does not only concern me personally, but many colleagues. We don't understand Asian people. If everyone learned one language, we would have one understandable language,but soon we will have 200 different English languages (obviously it's very difficult to learn proper accent(actually impossible :) ), but i know (example) indian people who i understand very well because they try to use an american accent. I'm also trying to use accent as close to proper as possible.) so we have a strange situation, we cannot learn the correct language (one language) because some people are offended. And the worst thing will be when in some time one sentence will mean something completely different and there will be so much of it that it's scary to think what it can lead to. Something terrible is coming on people. Sorry for English, I still learn.
@@ukd8387 th-cam.com/video/o25I2fzFGoY/w-d-xo.html
@@ukd8387 couldn't agree more pal. If a language is native to a country then trying to speak like them doesn't makes you less important or something. I'm an Indian and I have been watching Lucy's videos for like 2 years now and I never felt offended by her pronunciation videos. Because that's how it should be. If someone asks me to teach them hindi(one of the official languages of India), then I'm also gonna teach them the way I speak it or the way other Indians do because that language is native to us, we know the most of it.
@@leezaaneja1213 It's not "trying to speak like them" if you want to do it. It's the value or societal judgement of those who insist that their way of speaking is in any way better or more correct than another that is the problem.
Lucy hay un dicho en español que dice : “El mejor maestro NO es el que más sabe, sino el que mejor enseña”. Tú tienes algo especial que traspasa la pantalla.
I love your videos and to me they’re very usefull. You’ve been doing an excellent job. Improve what you have or want to improve, as every human being does, but don’t let anyone or anything to change your positive attitude in life. Cheer up!
Best regards from Sevilla, Spain. 😁🥰
Lucy, sweetheart, I'm from Russia and I love ur videos! I've been watching ur channel since it started! In my country we know nothing about UK newspapers, we have no problem u told about in this video! Please, try to realize that this issue has a point only for a little group of people from some countries, not for all of your followers!! Ur work has a huge good impact for people, much bigger than alleged damage of course!))) please stay on TH-cam and other social media, please stay with ur followers and keep doing the work which u know how to do perfect ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, the same from me)
Lovely Lucy, you're the best teacher I've ever had in my life! Your work is priceless, in my view.
All of us have troubles, but your videos bring real joy in the process of learning English, you have always been such a positive and enjoyable teacher!
My best wishes to you!
Please, never leave us!!!
Don't forget that many people love you all around the world.
Dear Lucy! You cannot imagine how much courageous you are, in a positive sense! Really thank you, for being so honest, and you know what? Actually in this video YOU SUPPORTED ALL PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH THEIR FEELINGS OF SADNESS AND SHAME WHEN THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG! I'm also a teacher, and quite a young teacher at the school with 2,5 thousands students. In 2 days I'm to start my 2nd year of working at school, and deeply inside I so often struggle with the feeling that something was made wrong by me, unprofessional, despite the fact, that I put all my efforts in preparing lessons, trying so so so hard. And your video, actually, made me feel a relief a bit. I realized that we all aren't safe from making mistakes and it's normal part of our lives. My dear, really big thanks to you, I cannot express my appreciation in words for that. I think it was really hard to make this video, and you did it. And I strongly believe, hope that you'll find a kind of harmony and peace inside you. Ok, you'd probably not return to cooking this time, but you'd probably start painting, as an example! The energy is still in us even these exetremely hard times, but we're to find.. the way we can free and direct this hidden positive energy and increase it in things we do ♥️ I'm so with you ♥️ not knowing you personally, but I know you can ♥️ all you want. It's just a period that made you stronger. And thank you for not stopping all this stuff: shooting and uploading video. To be stick to this process is a hard thing, you're so good at it! Thank you.✨ (P.S. Follow you from Russia 😏😊).
Admirable advice lady! 🇬🇧
@@steffanhoffmann8937 😊
Hey, Lucy, you have no idea how VALUABLE is this video to me! I'm your follower for years, I've learnt English from you and the other awesome creators here. Inspired by all of you I've just started my journey of teaching English on TH-cam and the other platforms. Having your first-hand experience of the cruelty of Twitter, the demanding TEFL industry, how to deal with overwhelming messages and so on is exactly the information I needed right now. Thank you for being so sincere with us ! Apart from a respectable creator, you are such a nice person!
She is inspiring
I checked your channel, good luck.
I'm always pleased to listen to her personal experiences.
Studying English with beautiful teacher Lucy is fun.
Best of luck and please don’t let the often cruel people in the TEFL industry get you down!
What I've learned over the last few years: Once you start issuing apologies to the perpetually offended, you will only give them more reasons to continue being offended.
agreed ..tell them to grow a pair and fuc,,koff down some hole in the ground
Lucy just do ur thing you can’t make everyone happy . There are a lot of criticisers who enjoy doing it . You are doing a superb job .
Lucy, I'm proud of you. You have done what very few people do: you humbled yourself, examined yourself and confessed your faults and changed the way you do things. Impressive! Well done!
Lucy I'm so sorry to hear about everything you have been though! Your video are always very intelligent and well presented. Their are some people in life who are just too cruel and I think it is so bad that you’ve had to be a victim of this and that I have such a profound effect on you because you always come over as being an absolutely lovely person and an absolute joy to watch and listen to ❤️
Lucy you are amazing teacher. Don’t let the haters put you down. This book help me “ What you think of me is none of my business”
That was so heartbreaking! I admire you so much, because I can see in your eyes in every video that you love doing that, and it makes me feel like home. I, and everyone that you captivated, know that you didn't intend any harm, and we will be here anytime supporting you. I need to say that my admiration for you grew a lot after this video, because it's not easy to accept that we committed a mistake and ask for forgiveness, but, I regret that this whole story had taken its toll on you. Don't feel bad about it, you were doing what you thought it was right, there's no shame on that. I love you, your contents, your way of doing videos, your way of talking to us, I feel like I'm a close friend to you. So, take the time you need, and we'll be here waiting for you.
Regards from Brazil🇧🇷
Dear Lucy, you are still very young and you take everything extremely seriously. You dealt with all this unnecessary criticism in a very mature intelligent way. Your parents should be very proud of your ability to care and make it better for everyone. They brought you up to becoma a wonderful level headed human with a very kind heart. Talented people are sensitive and giving. I hope you can see how many lives are light up by you on a daily basis. Millions of people learn from you and appreciate you! You are GIFTED and have a very unique sunny personality. Don't let negativity bring you down! You bring sunshine to SO many people, your work is brilliant..and that's what REALLY matters ! Lots of love x
Lucy, it's probably not about offending or not this or that group of people. I guess it's mostly about your personal growth, you've come to the point where you feel the need to reassess your attitudes and yourself. And there's beauty about it and vulnerability...you will be totally fine and loved by your followers. Chin up!) You are on the right track
We will never be everyting that people want us to be and they will always see what they want to, keep being yourself and doing what you want, I have been living in England for 3 years, and you have help me a lot and I shared you to all people a know learning English.
Lucy joined whith bad people like black lives matter for that reason her sadness
Dear Lucy, I'm a bit older than you I guess. I never considered your videos to be offensive for people with other accents than yours. I rather considered the fact that lots of people in companies were judging others basing on their accent. And that you wanted to help anyone to have an accent that would not harm them in their workplace.
I'm french, and really interested in having a proper british accent, because I like it!
But I totally understand your struggle with the way some poeple can have interpreted your videos as a judgement on other regional accents. I don't think you need to beat yourself up for that. Your intention was good, you are a good person. And the way all of this affected you, and the way you questionned yourself is a proof of your value.
You were young, didn't see as clearly as you see now. You've grown up, you've learnt. You are an even better person now, because your sensitivity and your understanding have improved. You were just young, no crime.
Feel proud of who you are. You will still make mistakes, you will still feel the need to apologise, you will still learn. That's how people become wiser. It's a road paved of mistakes, but with a living heart.
Wishing you all the best, you have light inside you 🙏🏻
We really missed you... We love you. You are a good person, never let anyone hurt you so much. I understand for you everything is recorded and on a famous platform but we can not be politically correct every time. (When I say, we can not be politically correct all the time, I do not intend to hurt anyone, it's just that we are all humans and we do mistakes).
Your videos are really great and fun. It hurts the most when someone criticises about something that you love doing.
Time is very stressful during this pandemic. Knowing our mistakes and owning them needs courage. You are a brave girl. This too shall pass. Have a great time and be happy always.
Now you are free to point out all the grammatical errors that I have made... 😄😅
Everyone mistakes sweetie. I love the way you are teaching ♥ "The show must go on!"
Hallo Lucy,
I really love the content on both your channels.
I absolutely respect you for the fact that you took the step the make this video. I am well pleased as a fan that you have taken responsibility for your past actions. I wish you peace and healing.
As a lady diagnosed with clinical depression, I completely understand what you are going through in terms of mental health. You are in my prayers.
My heartiest condolence to you and Will for the loss.
All the best.
Love,
Loyal fan and English major.
You’re so brave and now my new hero. I’m a Yorkshireman living in Michigan and have watched some of your English videos for entertainment. I’ve felt a bit “less than” but in a funny sort of stereotype way. I’ve never thought you were mean at all. Keep smiling and keep at it and we can all learn from you.
