I have an issue with the phrase "why not". Especially in the way you used it. Please, never say "why not" if someone is asking you to be his/her boy-/girlfriend. "not" is a word with a negative aspect to it. Don't be negative and use positive phrases like "yes, of course", "yes, I want to" or anything that doesn't implement a word which is usually used to negate something. (please correct my grammar if needed. I'm obviously not a native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure this applies to many languages.)
The problem with "Ok" is it gives non-native English speakers the false idea that it is a generic, "one-size-fits-all" term, when in fact it can take on different meanings depending on the context in which it is used, particularly when speaking directly to a native English speaker. You are an amazing teacher. Congratulations from Brazil!🇧🇷
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
Your "very" video was great. I stopped using the word, "very," inappropriately. Back then I would have said your video is very good, now I say it's great. Thank you for this "okay" video. It's great!
@@delsings don't mistake.. you may call many as dude but as he being a teacher and elder it won't be the appropriate way .. a proper respect has to be given. ( Just my opinion bro not accusing! )
@@nagaratharmstar oh I get you, and thank you. I just meant it as a friendly affirmation. I absolutely appreciate a teacher's dedication to their craft.
I know you might not see this but i finally started too get serious about changing my life I live with my parents I’m 22 years old going nowhere with my life so I’m I’m trying hard so I can become wealthy and move out so what I should say is thank you this is my first step too my 5 year plan for myself people like you will change this world
English is my first language and Spanish my second. In Spanish we use the word "ok" a LOT too. Your video challenged me to stop using it when I am speaking Spanish as well as when I am speaking English. This is going to force me to expand my vocabulary in both languages. Thank you!
I have been watching your videos lately starting with gaining more vocabularies after I watch your videos about steps on how to learn English. Here's my take on the 2 questions 1. Can I call you later? 1.a. Sure, anytime around 7-9:30pm 1.b. Absolutely, but text me first. 2. How was your day? (This one is from my experience as an ESL teacher & we ask this questions to our young students & now I know why the company wants us to sing a nursery rhyme to it.) 2.a. I'm good 2.b. I'm great 2.c. (bonus, because its part of the lyrics) I'm wonderful. question number 2 is so great & you're right, these answers could help people to be open up in a conversations, much alone for a young learner of English Language. Thank you so much for this & stay safe.
"Go ahead" as a response to " How is the weather?" shows the person is not interested in a converstion beyond what is necessary. Hats off to the instructor. He presentation is brilliant!
Okay opens more convasation or rather communication. Okay is formal but Ok doesn't well come formal socialisation it discourages a go ahead. Okay, is brilliant. I GOT IT. IS AMAISING TO HAVE A GREAT TEACHER JAMES.
You are gold man. I mean it. Really improved my english and confidence skills chatting with native speakers. Plz never leave us lol. By the way i´m from Argentina, South America. Greetings
English is not my native language, I'm learning and still not fluently using English (listening & speaking), but amazingly I can understand all your teaching, without captions. You are a best English teacher
i got it from now on its fantastic i pretend like natives. thank you teacher for this lesso. 1. no problem you can call me any time 2. my day was brilliant
The true story at the beginning of your video; Are you sure that your friend was from Spain!? Because "Baleh" is OK in Persian language! BTW, love your informative videos!
Thx bro for your lessons, I'm French and that help a lot to make my English better than I had before, I know about "ok" but now I will understand more people when they should to use ok with me haha.... Thx u, and waiting for new lesson 😊😊
Thanks James! Don’t know why are everybody can’t speak like you so that they could be understood?) I literally understand every single word you are saying, although I'm Russian speaking.

How was your day ?
Me: So far so good / Interesting
This man is a treasure
A national treasure if you will.

Okay
Absolutely 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I agree with you
This is simply the best TH-cam channel to learn English. Congrats from Brazil!
James: "Stop saying OKAY!'
ME: " ok"
😂
😂😂😂😂

I love this kind of classes. Natural and useful

You are an amazing teacher.
Congratulations from Brazil!🇧🇷
É tão fácil de entender a aula do prof 🤩 não junta as palavras, não usa gírias e sempre explica de outra forma o que quer dizer
