  • In this lesson, you'll learn how to stop using very and, instead, use strong, powerful English adjectives with more impact. You’ll sound more natural and be able to express yourself precisely in English. Plus, your English conversations and writing will improve.
    For example:
    Very difficult → arduous, burdensome, grueling
    “Yesterday’s workout at the gym was grueling.”
    In this lesson, you’ll learn 17 powerful adjectives you can begin using today for common conversations.

    - A grueling workout always pays off.
    - My daughter feels apprehensive whenever she is around new people.
    - My trip to France was in January, which is one of the coldest periods of the year, so I was freezing whenever I took a walk outside.
    Greetings from Morocco 😊

    - After begetting my daughter I felt both DRAINED and OVERJOYED - that was the most EXHILARATING moment in my life.
    - Winter in Bulgaria is cold but there could be several FRIGID days through the season.
    - I was APPREHENSIVE at my first job interview.

    Hi, I'm from Thailand.
    I wanna speak English naturally like a native. Speak as I wish direct from my heart. Able to accent effectively. Thus, I have to practice more, over and over. Thank you for your VDO. It is worth watching. I've watched and paused the VDO periodically to jot down the sentences. I repeatedly watch it over to improve my English, listen without looking the subtitle, speak by imitating and so on.

    I am from Valencia, Spain, and here summer days are humit and boiling hot.
    I hope, I have used these incredible and useful words correctly. Thank you for your videos! Are amazing!

    I was over the moon after completing my thesis and submitting because I know that gruelling work will pay-off. Then, I feel overjoyed when my parents gave me a ticket to travel overseas as a reward. However, I was unwell due to frigid weather in Russia while visiting its capital. As soon as I returned Vietnam, It is getting sweltering. Luckily, I did not have any temperature shock.

    My dear husband had a grueling day at work. So I decided to make him a delicious dinner and hopefully his day will brighten a bit.
    Although my kid felt apprehensive the day before his finals, he did excellent.
    I feel overjoyed when I get a notification on Wednesdays from this channel, that means that a new lesson is available.
    Thanks a million for this lesson. Replacing the word very makes me sound educated and sophisticated. Love it 🥰 A few minutes ago, I said something about the weather to one of my boys and he said, umm learning new words. Good for you mom. You sounded professional. Annemarie, thanks to your lessons, I received a praised from my son. 😊

He’s in 9th grade and was surprised he never heard the word. (Our kids can learn too) Also, I used with my husband the word certainly and frigid with him. No response from hubby.
