The way you wrap up the lesson by concluding with a few sentences containing all the idioms is just brilliant, and it is your signature conclusion. Love it because it is both creative and original, and useful at the same time.
Whether you’re a real person or not, I really appreciate for your advice and great lessons for me. It was one of my best experiences. Thank you for all whom involved in.
I won’t think twice to hit the button of like because your style of teaching, your material of learning, your very comprehensible speaking ability are the factors of attraction towards learning. I enjoyed your method of teaching.
I have tried many materials and lectures for learning English, but it seems that none of them have been very effective. However, I recently discovered your channel and have learned a lot from it. I especially appreciate how you summarize and list everything in the description. Thank you very much!
Thank you Wes for bringing me up to speed after being away from learning for some months. I wanted to make an example using some of the idioms you taught. I didn't think twice about writing a comment, because to set the record straight, it helps practice what I learned. So I decided to write comments on short notice. Some people usually don't take things at face value and get a grip on themselves before accepting something. I believe that we should strike a balance between our emotions and our logic.
@@InteractiveEng You’re so welcome! Your lessons have helped me understand grammar. I’m a native English speaker and grammar and language arts is very difficult for me. Infinitives ,participles etc. I’m more of a math guy. I love algebra, calculus, trigonometry, I love all things mathematical. And as a way to show my appreciation, I’ll shall subscribe to Interactive English. Did you ever enjoy math as a kid? 👦
teacher in Spanish we also use : (not) think twice //no pensarselo dos veces// wait and see //espera y veras // and (to be in the public eye) // estar en el ojo publico // so now you also know three advanced idioms in Spanish, I know this is your tarjet language, a lot of people from Spain and latinoamerica would love learning with you.
I like that you also teach pronunciation tips! I read books in English, watch movies, but speaking is my weak point. I dont have much practice. By the way, I teach Russian at my channel in case somebody's interested. I'm from Donbass. We, Russian speaking people from the East Ukraine, Russia, and Belorussia have the same vocabulary and slang. But you Americans, Britains, and Australians have different vocabulary and accents and it's difficult for English learners!
Don't forget that no-one can learn new vocabulary on such sort notice, but languages evolve constantly, so we need to bring us up to speed. Don't think twice about using these new words every day. Will it bear fruit? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
It was an especially great lesson with many idioms I have just barely heard of. And get a grip! One of my favorite rock and roll band is Aerosmith and I just love their album: Get a grip! Have a nice week!
What is coincidence / luck / logical conclusion...I just watched "Chicago PD" and TWO expressions from this video sounded there. I was proud of myself catching the meanings. Thank you Sir.
i personally lovveee the way that you emphasis on pronunciation and stresses or wrap things up. if you add a pdf that we can download it would be fantastic so i don't have to stop the vid million times to write what you've just said❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Advanced written - or spoken - vocabulary should not be about _repeating_ someone else's words. It would be much more impressive if the constructions were _original_ - with carefully selected words of your own choice. This would give your communications persuasive personality and engaging appeal ...
Compared to the last video of yours I watched, I liked this better because you offered various options in expression. You are doing good in the world. Thank you!
Sir, frankly, I used to incorporate a bit of those idioms into creative writing or any other real life circumstances. Also even in academic and other professional writing tasks during my secondary level school career in saudi arabia. But later on, I realized that putting them into use is a fruitless sin, particularly in academic situations. Still nowadays , I see many students using a bunch of them in formal writing assignments at universities all over our country. This sounds pretty ambiguous to me and the reason for these students ending up getting unsatisfactory grades in exams is, of course, evident. Whatever it appears to be, I'm profoundly obliged with your enthralling lesson and I bet it'll be much beneficial for me in enriching my spoken English skills and helping me in my journey to get into grips with higher level English, such as ielts and tofels.

Hello, I always watch all of your videos as I find them fascinating. I have a question: in the sentence "I didn't think twice" man says after rescuing motorist who fell into sea. Do we need the articles before man, motorist and into sea? If we do, could you kindly rewrite the sentence?

Hi Wes, you are a heck of a teacher, however, you and other teachers seem to forget one small detail in your normal advice on how to be fluent in English and that is how careful we have to be in our pronunciation. Your lips have to be in the proper position when saying: Water or Wine, or Vision, or Those or Hotel etc., etc., otherwise native speaking English folks will have a problem understanding or will quickly labeled you as a person that never received an English class. Equally important is that when saying a word that start with a vowel you have to say "Thee" instead of "The" as I did for many years :-). You should also emphasize that speaking a language is not a matter of intelligence per se, but an ability to learn something like when we learn to play a musical instrument. Some people will pick them quickly while others have to work hard. The majority, erroneously believe, that if you do not speak a language fluently is because you are uneducated or stupid. Not so. Now, thanks to teachers like you is that I have a "decent" understanding (I am still learning) of the English language and I will never thank you enough for your devotion and good will. Keep it up!
@@InteractiveEng the best for you Wes. Although you have not a strong american accent, i am able to catch the 95% your speeches. Other teachers, and much more docomentaries with the voice off are a bit challengue
If you're referring to the Lingoda offer, I think the offer is good for the next few months if you would like to join and begin the 7-day free trial. 👍
May i ask you a vocabulary question regarding evolution of definitions? I've tried searching it online, but can't quite seem to phrase the question correctly. It's in regards to how a definition is added to a word's original definition. Is there a term for that? More specifically: im looking for examples of those added definitions that were based on misunderstanding the context of original use. ...if that makes sense.

Hi Wes, you are a heck of a teacher, however, you and other teachers seem to forget one small detail in your normal advice on how to be fluent in English and that is how careful we have to be in our pronunciation. Your lips have to be in the proper position when saying: Water or Wine, or Vision, or Those or Hotel etc., etc., otherwise native speaking English folks will have a problem understanding or will quickly labeled you as a person that never received an English class.

Now, thanks to teachers like you is that I have a "decent" understanding (I am still learning) of the English language and I will never thank you enough for your devotion and good will. Keep it up!

Rule of thumb.
On the little advertising pic, it is written "strike a BLANCE" (what do we call that pic)?
That may be a typo. I'll have to go back and check. 🤔
Hi there! I noticed that you don't have the so called "light 'l'". You're light and dark ones sound pretty much the same way.
Hello. I suppose it depends on the word or phase you're talking about. Of course, the Dark L will have the 'ul' sound. 👍
¡Gracias!

I noticed that you omitted the sound 't' in the world 'often'. But Britains in movies pronounce the 't' in the 'often'.
Yes, that's a difference between the two. It's the same if I say the word 'soften.' 👍
Think twice before answering
