Can't thank you enough
This is such a great self reflection, thank you for sharing it @papemoussa0628!
This was an an amazing lesson, Rachel. I learnt so much in this video. Thankyou, Teacher.
You're very welcome @GopalSharma-jc2jp!
I tip my hat to you for teaching us this amazing vocabulary. 💕
God bless you both!
You too @sameetramrakhiani9774!
It feels good to be able to understand pretty much everything. Funny enough, the most used word 'quilt' was new to me. It translates as 'blanket' to my first language. And the difference I guess is that quilts are a lot warmer than blankets and are made of multiple layers of fabric. You should definitely wash those carefully, not in a washing machine. And thanks for the short lecture about the Great Depression. The story behind that one quilt from the book was interesting to listen to as well. Prosperity is just around the corner
Thanks for sharing @uselessvad2444!

@@rachelsenglish mam I have a question to you how I do practice daily, I have not any partner
Keep in mind EVERYTHING was about creating jobs. So jobs were created organizing the sewing circles. Jobs were created documenting all the various programs. Jobs were created archiving the quilts and photos.
Thanks for sharing @mailman63155!
Really liked this one. Thanks!
But, hey! How did you dry the quilt? I'm always wary about putting delicates in the drier.😢
No, I let it air dry!
Hii Rachel, I remember watching a video where you mentioned a website that had different dialogues that contained a certain word. I really want to know, can you please remind me of that? Thank you ❤
Youglish!

How to wish for better health of someone who is sick? I need a lesson on this topic
Great suggestion! Thanks @Spokenenglish12!
Teacher, thank you for your sharing. I'm not sure if I misunderstood, but has your quilt not been washed for 100 years? 😱
I hadn't washed it since I inherited it. My grandmother probably washed it!
@@rachelsenglish Thank you for the feedback, teacher. It is so nice that you took the risk of potentially exacerbating the condition of the quilt by washing it. Through this lesson, I was able to understand more about the history of the USA. I really enjoyed it😊❤️
This one des guan des uan
Hii I'm following u for along time and I'm close to finish the sounds of American English which playlist do you recommend me to study after I finish it FIY I'm working on listening skills right now,I really appreciate your work 👍👏
Thanks a lot @amrsalem5175!
your friend Janneken, was she the one in the other video too where you talk about watermelon and describing food video? i know i have heard her voice before, low in pitch
Yes! She has been in videos before! :)
Rachel my teacher ,you gave up making imitation exercises,why that? We need plenty of them dear Rachel.
Thanks for your feedback! I'm always trying to add new materials. Here's a link to a collection of my imitation exercises: rachelsenglish.com/tag/imitation-exercises/. The Academy also has many more imitation practice exercises for members: rachelsenglish.com/academy/
Unrelated but I think the maroon accent color for Rachel's Academy was more kinda catchy. I don't like this bright green color much. Just my opinion.
