Thanks a lot, Ben. As usual, your videos are truly useful. The expression "it´s not very + adjective" will come in handy in my upcoming speaking tests for the sake of sounding less direct or rather a bit more polite.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Great! You're welcome, Gerardo. 😉

[@atributetogebirahourqueenm6505]

You are a great teacher and a lifesaver too. 🙏

[@chatonsacrement7454]

Thank you so much, Ben. I'm glad those structures are not very difficult to use. Oh, and Amy is the cutest! ❤💕

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😁 Sometimes she's cute... Sometimes she's a little devil 🤣

[@c.s.2523]

I'll try to think about me as a diplomatic person when I can't find the right word and I use the "not very" alternative 😉🙂🙂🙂

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

👍 Excellent

[@danielponcelamontalban9391]

It was not very boring, honestly.
The best wishes, Ben, you're always a help for myself.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You're welcome! 🙂

[@Crisguay]

It may not be very appropriate, but I was wondering if it would be possible to invite you to dinner to practice my English and get some more tips to use on a daily basis.
I'm kidding! It wouldn't be possible, I'm the shyest person on Earth! 🤭🥵
Thanks for such a great content!!! 🤗

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😊

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

I never mince my words, Im always blunt or frank, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[@2010Tigresa]

Thank your very much! I find the video pretty useful.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Great! You're welcome 🙂

[@parveshsharma3222]

Do you speak with received prounication?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

More or less, yes.

[@freddiemercury8700]

You could've gone to the white house and taught Donald trump how to become polite and diplomatic when he was in power. Greetings from Casablanca Morocco.

[@Ricardo-xg6gx]

You are not being VERY fair to Amy, he is not gifted for this task, he has other abilities and above all an appearance of kindness that falls in love

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

😆 Maybe you're right!

[@sergiomartinezarango3715]

The world keeps having me as a model for it. But my English is terrible. Jjjjjjjjjjjjjeeeeeeeellllllppppp. Me
