Ahhhh Mr bruff I thought after GCSEs I’d never need you again and yet here I am again...
Ellie Balopi feels bad man
yeap lol xd
Haha me too now. 😂😂 without mr bluff I would failed English lit and Lang for sure but I got grade 5 on both.
Moooood
Ajay Job Man how did you purchase the e-book? Ain't able to do that via Credit card, the site provides me only PayPal option?
Watched your videos for GCSE and got an A in English Language. I never thought I would get a good grade in English. I am taking English Language A Level so please carry on making your amazing videos. Thanks for everything!
I don't know you, but to be honest I'm glad nobody really knows what you are good at if you don't try the thing
well you're probably better than me lol , having learnt your language from scratch...
Just wondering what do you have to do for english language do you. Need to do a speech in front of people or not ect
@@abbiebaldwinbaldwin I assume it was the same you did in GCSE English language but you use more methods and write more
JC Denton reallt
As I thought GCSEs would’ve been the end.. here I am in 2019! In year 12😂
Same but i need lit, my school doesnt do language
How were ur exams?
GCSE was not the end!!!
And so the cramming begins...
Can you do the a level English question ‘how does the writer use language to create meaning and representation’
These a level english language videos are so useful because I can't find many others online :-)
+English Rose good!
mrbruff just purchased your e book! Got a mock in a couple days and it's so well explained !!
So pleased to see you at a level. Got an A at GCSE for English so thank you
I am so glad I found this! I am studying A Level English language as a distance learner and was missing the interaction of classroom learning and this makes up for it. Please keep going! (And I plan on purchasing your e-book...)
please make more videos!! I'm literally relying on these for my test tomorrow!!
It would be so helpful if you could do more videos on A Level Language as I love English but language at A level is so different to anything I've done before. I am currently doing Child Language Acquisition and Context and Identity. Could you do some overview videos on those topics? Thankyou! By the way, this channel is what got me As for English GCSE and it's made me have a real passion for the subject, so thankyou! :-)
+Emily Williams coming soon!
Thankyou!!:-) It's much appreciated!
Hi!! I'm thinking of take English language. Can you maybe tell me about it? Is there any like speeches , debates or arguments that you have to do because I really hate speaking allowed for exams (for example, Spanish speaking exam in GCSE) I'm more interested in the side about child language and context and identity. My grade for GCSE is only a 6, but nearly a 7. (Exams are all cancelled, I can push my grade up higher and I have only ever done one set of English language exams because I have only had one mock). I know your comment was 4 years ago, I just wanted to know, how was it??
@@unaestrella1876 you don't have to do speeches or arguments but some of the essays are written like arguments so there is that kind of thing in the course. You are encouraged to have your own ideas and opinions about theories. with a grade 6 you could definitely do well. It is very different to GCSE so everyone is starting from the same point. As long as you put the work in you will be fine. There is also a creative writing and language investigation coursework section of the course to be aware of. Hope this helps!
@@Leah-tv6mt thank you so much!! Yes it does help. I don't mind written essays, I'd take 10 of those over a speech or an argument. I'm the worst at being independent but I'll try to pull some ideas out of my useless brain. I do like creative writing, I want to take Language because I want to learn the depth behind it. I'll also probably have the same English teacher as I have for GCSE. He's definitely okay, I just feel like he will pick on us a lot, though he doesn't pick on me since he knows I hate talking, but if I choose the subject for A level, it seems as that I WANT to do it; therefore a higher chance he will pick on me Which is greattt ;(. Which I do want to do it though. Thanks again!
Right it's january and i have exams at the end of the month and may i say it is such a pleasant suprise to see Mr Bruff does A Level english too :') luv u sir hopefully i can flex hard in A level like i did in gcse thanks 2 u :@))
Taking English Literature and Language A-Level thanks to you! :)
Could you please make a video on how to answer transcript analysis questions at a level (English Language) and get a high grade? Thank you
Please release the subsequent to this video, I found it to be truly helpful
please do more a level related English lang revision sessions on how to answer questions ect. thankyou
I've just started an MA in Language and Linguistics and I've been struggling to understand a lot of the terminology after specialising in Literature during undergrad (a long, long time ago lol).
This guide is genuinely helping me with getting back into the swing of things. Thanks so much, Mr Bruff 😊
Brilliant!
Brought a book and very happy for these resources looking forward to many more Thankyou Mr bruff :)
+Alice Jenkinson awesome!
as a foreigner who began learning English quite a long time ago and at quite a high level (university , wanted to be an English teacher but failed lol) , I find this very interesting.. thx
Great!
@@mrbruff yes can a foreigner pass a A level language test?
Great help!
This man is amazing
Hey Bruff, could you tell me what I am expected to do if the instruction says: Your lesson topic is: Identify and analyse distinguishing features of figurative language in a given text (choose to your preference)?
Hi Mr Bruff
I've decided to take English Literature for A level because I love it so much. I think we're doing English Literature B on AQA. We're studying 'the twelfth night' by Shakespeare and will do crime next year. We're also doing 'the importance of being earnest' by Oscar Wilde and some poetry too. We are also analysing pieces of text through the lens of marxism and feminism. Please please please brighten my day and tell me you will be making videos on at least some of these books/options. Thank you!
+Iaza Hussain my a level lit videos will all help as will the ebook
Our teacher has told us when aiming for top marks to not choose lexis but to choose the more advanced ones such as register and prosodic features. Does this still stand?
You got me an A in English GCSE❤️❤️
Just bought the book very helpful thanks
Good!
Very useful. Thank you so much
Hello Mr Bruff.
Are there any plans to make your A level English language guide available in physical format?
Waiting for your next video... Super
Thank you! So helpful
no problem
How do I attempt the questions for L4?
thanks to you this year I got a 6 in English Language and an 8 in English Literature and I'm doing this for A-Level.
Congratulations!
Is this video useful for the representation assessment?
Hello! Is this video applicable for A level CIE English Language? The resources in my country are very minimal, so I am really hoping I can rely on these videos. Please make more! I love watching your videos :) helped me a lot for my GCSEs. Thank you!
so helpful
Hey could you do a series of videos or a book on English combined please
Do you have any videos on how to answer the exam it's self ?
can you please do an analysis on the book lovely bones
Hey, i have the same situation as Iaza (doing english lit for A-level) only i'm doing othello, richard the 2nd (the unit is focused on tragedy) and the great gatsby. not quiet sure which exam board but i think its AQA? is there anything that might be able to help me?
+StarSiren the A level Lit guide at mrbruff.com
Does this book cover the new linear spec for the exam in 2017?
yes
is this for any exam boards? I do english Lit/lang Combined subject Edexcel
I don't know if this a general thing but I've found that A Level English Language and Literature is considered a 'soft' subject - I got both grade 9's in my English GCSE's so I took this A Level since I wanted to pursue both (mostly chose it for English Language to be honest). It's already too late to change my subjects but I am worried about this subject choice - there are only 8 people in my class, whereas English Lit has a full class. Can you let me know if this is true? Do you consider A Level English Lang a soft subject OR a easier choice than English Lit? Will I still be able to get into top universities with this A Level?
English language is considered a soft subject yes, but unless you want to go to a Russell group university (which you need two a levels of facilitating subjects for) then you should be fine getting in.
I have bought the Ebook. Is referring to it enough to get A* in my CIE A Level English Language?
Rudra Khemka Well, you need to do the specifications and work past papers and look at examiner's responses.
Is the ebook worth it? Not to say like is it good I'm sure it is I just mean if I can just work through the videos and achieve the same result I'd rather do that but if the ebook is necessary I'll probably get it
Well the eBook is 85 pages long, so there's quite a bit more in there than you'll find in the videos. For example, there's a ten page exemplar investigation that isn't in the videos at all. But the videos do cover quite a bit of what's in the book too.
@mrbruff
Hi please by any chance you do essay checks.
i would like you to read an essay just for an ulterior view. Would that be possible
please make a video about English literature evaluation for alevel
check out the A Level Literature book at mrbruff.com
you're channel is very beneftial
+Amin Hassan thanks
mr.bruff is knowing and understanding the etymology of words an advantage in a -level?
ISN'T IT AN EBOOK? WHY AM I ASKED TO PROVIDE MY SHIPPING DETAILSS.
Yes it’s an ebook.
Is this great book in only found in eBook format? I really want this book as a real book
only eBook, but you can print it out!
Bummer! but thnx anyways! I'll do just that
Hi, I bought this e-book on my iPhone since I am studying English Language and now I have no clue how to get it up on my phone? Please help
+Cassie Daniels open in iBooks
+mrbruff I have as that's where I presumed it would be, but it is not there for some reason...?
+mrbruff sorry it is ok now, I was just getting confused I have figure out how to do it and it's on my iBooks now, thank you!
+Cassie Daniels great
exam tomorrow LOL cramming the whole course
What exam board are these videos focussed at?
Megan Payne CIE
and aqa
Do you do any A level English literature videos?
+Charlotte yes check the playlists
Thank you!!
Guys I want to take English language at alevel but I dont really know what it intales? Is it like GCSE?
You have to learn how to analyse and compare different texts, e.g. articles, transcripts or advertisements. You also have to discuss topics like gender, accents and dialects and write essays quoting language theorists. In the second year it is similar but you study child language development and language change through History and there is creative writing coursework too.
not really yh
My advice would be: don't. I loved GCSE and got an A* but a level language is the worst thing I've done
Eva C are you doing a level English language now or have you already done it?
@@Eva55550I'm the complete opposite, I hated English lang GCSEs but I love it at a-level!
hi sir, can u pls pls let me know if this is ok for edexcel eng language a level
You need to check which assessment objectives apply to your exam board. It AO1 is assessed, this video is relevant.
Does the book cover As and A2
+Shuheb Miah yes
Is it for CIE or AQA ???
+Phoenix Arizona both
I'm getting Vietnam styled flash backs to GCSE. I can't believe I'm back here 😅
i am doing the eduqas exam board would these videos still apply to me?
Noodle n I’m doing wjec and they’re the same just that mine is because I’m in wales. They contain similar things to us in the videos so yes
Is the e-book ok for the new syllabus Alevel aqa
Yes it is.
i didnt understand what semantic field and semantics mean, can some1 help me pls!!
Vishnu Krishna it's basically words that have similar meaning in texts 😅hope that makes sense 😊
I love English Language more than English literature
Please help. I'm confused.
From the guide:
Compound Sentence (a sentence with two or more clauses linked by a conjuction).
I decided to walk to school because it was a sunny day.
Effect: usually used by a writer to build more detail.
My question:
Elsewhere in the guide it says that 'because' is a subordinating conjuction. So doesn't that mean that the example given here is actually a complex sentence?
Thank you. ☺️
You are correct: my apologies. I will edit the ebook immediately. The example listed as a compound sentence is in fact a complex sentence.

@@mrbruff Wonderful, thank you.
In that case I think I understand the difference now. 😊👍
Exams tomorrow 😬😬😬

Ismail Ashraf how did it go
Hi Mr Bruff! Big fan of what you're creating here. I sent you a private message to your TH-cam inbox about a project on which I'm working.
OK I'll take a look.
Is this still relevant for 2018 and 2019
yes
mrbruff thankyou , also thanks to you I got a 9 in English GCSE so thankyou for that
Brilliant!
