Great video as always. The aspect that I like the most about these lessons is that they seem to have as their main target, people in their thirties, forties and fifties... People that maybe started their formal education with tons of books, have transitioned well to today's technologies, but don't feel completely comfortable with teachers in their twenties...
Thanks for all of great teaching and teaching metarial .

Hello I like your kind communication
That's a nice shirt. Where did you buy it from? (small talk conversation tip, haha)
Mostly I forgot some words when I am talking with someone and I’m so shy even to talk some foreigners when I met because I’m not sure that when I start to talk my grammar is not correct. I am a Philippines and majority of Filipinos in Thailand already bullying me because of my pronunciation I exactly good to teach inside the class with very clear voice however sometimes I’m out of confidence of what my fellow Filipino teachers put me down that o am not good in pronunciation. Thank you Ma’am and I try my self to learn more especially in pronunciation. God bless
Thank you for sharing with me. I understand the struggle of feeling shy, losing confidence, and forgetting words. Something that can help is the speaking practice process I share in my in-depth How to Say What You Want Training. You can get it here: www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
Also, I'm terribly sorry to hear that other teachers put you down. That is terribly unprofessional and unkind of them to do so.
Thank you so much,
How I could speak slowly and confidently as I am always speaking fast.
Thank you for the question. When it comes to slowing down and sounding confident I recommend watching the following lesson, 4 Steps to Control Your Voice and Sound Confident in English, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/control-your-voice-sound-confident/
@@Speakconfidentenglish Thank you so much. I appreciate your efforts to help others.
Wow I can understand you a lot 😮😮 I don’t know how can I started to study and takes notes at home please if you have some tips for me ❤ I appreciate it

Hi Elizabeth, I am thrilled you can understand the lesson and wish to further your English journey! 😀
To get started on creating study habits, I would recommend viewing the following lesson, Habits to Improve Your English and Measure Your Progress, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/habits-to-improve-your-english/
Annemarie you are a lighthouse in the middle of the sea!!!
Thank you for the kind comment.
I love this Speaking journal idea and could someone recommend a free app for it? Thanks in advance!
I'm glad you liked this idea. If you visit the lesson on my website (the link is available in the notes below the video), I share several recommendations for apps.
Could you please share us the link of Free English Confidence Training, I can't find in the website.
Hi Faiz, I'm sorry you couldn't find the link on the website. Here it is, free training and a proven strategy to get unstuck so you can say what you want in English - www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
I find it good but I want more time to strat with.
Hello. I have a question about Adele's song. In the lyrics of her song "Easy on me", says "In these waters" Water is an uncountable noun. Why does it become plural?
Interesting question. You're right. Water is an uncountable noun and in daily communication we don't use "waters."
But in literature - for example, in poetry or in song lyrics - we might use 'waters' to signify water from a major storm or flood waters. You'll also hear 'troubled waters' in this way sometimes.
Feel so frustrated after some meetings where I can understand part of the discussion but not 100%. I can read it but speaking with confidence is a big challenge.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you found this lesson helpful. Another lesson that I would recommend is the following, which provides more practical strategies, www.speakconfidentenglish.com/practical-steps-to-be-a-confident-english-speaker/
If you haven't yet done so, I recommend downloading my free training, "How to Say What You Want in English," where I will share tips to improve your speaking skills. www.speakconfidentenglish.com/say-what-you-want-in-english/
What app You recomend? I down load one and it don't work, and see You page ando indisnt find anithing help please
Thank you for the question. I've had students use an app called Diarium and they were happy with it.
🙏
To be honest with you now I'm experiencing some difficulty time to time my mind goes blank even I speak in my mothertongue.😮😮😮
If anyone needs to write down their thoughts, make sure to use a reusable notebook! 😉
Great lesson shared in exact time
very good your class of english
